I‘ve seen G Edward Griffin’s lecture on the Federal Reserve called the ‘Creature from Jekyll Island’ when he was much older than in the video below. This video is about twice as long as the one Ive seen so may contain some additional detail. I’ve posted it here just in case you are not aware of this very important information on how the Federal Reserve was conceived. He has other great videos and books if you are interested. Enjoy.

War is Big Business
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 09, 2014
War is big business for the military-industrial complex and the bankers. The USA is the world’s largest arms manufacturer and exporter.
Below is a list of major conflicts from the October Revolution in 1917 –which was financed by U.S. Bankers– to 2014. After a small group of private bankers hit the jackpot and were granted a monopoly over the U.S. money supply in 1913, they wasted no time financing both sides of the Bolshevik Revolution, WWI, WWII, the Vietnam war and others. Yes, your tax dollars and American bankers funded the weapons used to kill your sons and daughters. When will enough be enough?

Business is good and the war machine has been busy, see below …
Obama the Destroyer: Transforming America
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 03, 2014
This is one evil man whose life is built on lies and deceit and whose mission is the total destruction of America:
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008
Amazingly, this man –who couldn’t even pass an FBI background check– was crammed down the throat of America by the MSM and the Democrat Party. He has purged top military brass, replacing them with his political yes-men. He has corrupted major agencies of the government with his crony appointments. He has appointed the corrupt and lawless Eric Holder as AG of the Department of Justice. He has used the IRS as his own private army against the American people. Obama is a tyrant and a war monger who has involved us in countless orchestrated conflicts across the globe using lies and deceit thereby reducing America’s respect among the world community and replacing it with a seething global hatred. And he has lost the grand opportunity to bring Russia into a mutually beneficial partnership by overthrowing the democratically elected government in Ukraine and threatening war on Russia’s doorstep.
Coincidence?
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 03, 2014
In 1913, both the 16th Amendment was adopted and the Federal Reserve act was enacted under a Progressive President. Coincidence?
The Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution allows the Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states or basing it on the United States Census.
The Federal Reserve Act (ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, enacted December 23, 1913, 12 U.S.C. ch. 3) is an Act of Congress that created and set up the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States of America, and granted it the legal authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (now commonly known as the U.S. Dollar) and Federal Reserve Bank Notes as legal tender.
Woodrow Wilson was president of the United States from 1913 to 1921 and leader of the Progressive Movement.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence”

RUSSIA WANTS WAR
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 02, 2014
So the CIA and State Department implemented a not so covert foreign regime change in Russia’s next door neighbor Ukraine, overthrowing the democratically elected government; and then magically the U.S. blamed Russia as the aggressor; the United States’ newly minted puppet government then started bombing innocent Russians in central and eastern Ukraine killing thousands of innocent civilians. Crimea which is mostly Russian voted overwhelmingly to join Russia for protection. The U.S. MSM chirped right in telling the world how evil Putin was and that he amazingly was the aggressor and that he had designs to relive the glory of the old USSR. All 100% B.S. The US psychopaths in Ukraine’s capital in the West, Kiev, continued to bomb and butcher innocent civilians in the Donets Basin or Donbas region of Ukraine. BTW, proving once again that the word of America is worthless, In 1990 Moscow was assured that there would be no expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe. In exchange for Moscow permitting a reunified Germany to be a NATO member.
“The corrupt and duplicitous Clinton regime broke the agreement that the George H.W. Bush administration gave Moscow in 1990. In exchange for Moscow permitting a reunified Germany to be a NATO member, Washington agreed that there would be no expansion of NATO to the east. Gorbachev, US Secretary of State James Baker, US ambassador to Moscow Jack Matlock, and declassified documents all testify to the fact that Moscow was assured that there would be no expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe.”
–October 6, 2014 Paul Craig Roberts
Now, the U.S. has implemented economic sanctions against Russia which have damaged the Russian economy. This, BTW is an act of war. Russia has been backed into a corner and still has nuclear weapons. Obama and team are playing a dangerous game of lies and deceit.
NATO bases surround Russia
The US caught on the phone planning the overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine. BTW, the U.S. spent $5 billion on covert NGOs to foment civil war along the Gladio operation MO. This included hiring snipers to shoot and kill both the Ukraine police and the protestors.
Cut-out of a phone call between two American fun guys talking about maidan’s puppets. The actors are: Victoria Nuland: US-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Geoffrey R. Pyatt: United States Ambassador to Ukraine.
Russia plays nuclear war-games in Barents Region
Russia has over the last 72 hours tested its entire nuclear triad consisting of strategic bombers; submarines and this ICBM launched Saturday morning.

Abortion
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | November 01, 2014
My college philosophy teacher was and probably still is an atheist, yet he was an amazingly brilliant teacher … one of my best. Despite his lack of faith or belief in things unseen or unproven by his deductive method, he was staunchly anti-abortion. He reasoned as did I that once you minimize or devalue life at one end of the spectrum (very young) what logically will prevent you from minimizing it at the other end (very old); and once so done, one’s foot is squarely placed on the proverbial slippery slope. And where does this slope lead? Well it leads to further adjustments at either or both ends. So if we have scarce resources—which we always do–the value of a person prior to being productive for society would be less than say a person of working age and likewise the value of an older person incapable of vigorous work would be less valuable. So at some point, this logic trip leads us to the conclusion of stratification of value based on age; such that a society would be more interested in investing and/or saving the life of someone between the age of 18 and 35 say. Outside this range, you are less valuable and therefore on your own or possibly a candidate for post-birth abortion. In fact this is already occurring. We have death panels with Obamacare and recent opinion polls on college campuses show a growing approval of post-birth abortion up to age five if it would save jobs. So there you have it. Ideas have power and they have consequences that on first blush you may not have even considered.

Soros and the CIA
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 29, 2014
While it is no secret that the CIA gets much of its off-budget and out of sight money from trafficking illegal drugs; what is sometimes missed is the financial help the CIA receives from the likes of George Soros and Pierre Omidyar: billionaire founder of eBay, PayPal, the Alt news publication the ‘Intercept’ and BTW Glenn Greewald’s boss. Both of these shady characters have motives hidden from public view.
For example Pierre Omidyar and George Soros provided financial assistance to the CIA’s recent takeover of Ukraine by funding and backing neo-Nazis. This is nothing new for Soros since as a boy he is on record helping Hitler. ‘George Soros Says He Feels No Remorse For Collaborating With Nazis During WWII to Send His Fellow Jews to the Death Camps, Steal Their Property’.
Pierre Omidyar’s publication called The Intercept is an online publication launched in February 2014 by First Look Media, the news organization created and funded with a $250m check from Pierre. And who heads up this alternative news outlet? None other than Glenn Greenwald of Edward Snowden fame. And the roots run deeper, Pierre was key in assisting the CIA’s takedown of Julian Assange’s Wikileaks. So now we see there are some interesting connections between the CIA, Pierre, Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden.
Below, you will find more meddling in Brazil by George Soros and his pals at the CIA. And of course when the CIA shows up there is usually a convenient political death by plane crash. My political advice: If you know the CIA doesn’t like you, stay away from planes. Get a ride by donkey, burro or bicycle.

#Ebola
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 25, 2014
The Tweet below is representative of many I find on this morning’s twitter feed concerning the dreaded #Ebola.
lcl1456 @lclowery 13m13 minutes ago
Stop the craziness #Ebola – listen to the experts. We’re not at risk – calm down.
If you choose the ‘Top’ Twitters with the hash-tag #Ebola, you will always find a plethora of government-sponsored tweets along the same line, reassuring the reader that the government has everything under control and there is zero need to be concerned. You will see happy pictures a-plenty of the young and beautiful Nina Pham bear-hugging the kind, caring and magnanimous Obama in the WH. Perhaps Nina forgot that just a few days ago this same WH was blaming her for contracting Ebola and thus blaming the victim, but now all is forgotten or forgiven when Nina has the opportunity to share the same air space with Obama the savior; and, so the happy spin is complete, and all of America can sigh a calm relief. But not so fast . . .
Demographic Winter and Population Growth
by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 24, 2014
It is important to understand two concepts when thinking about the world population. The fear mongers would have you believe that the growth rate is linear or exponential in an unstoppable upward trend until the masses of humanity consume all the world’s resources. This is just wrong-headed when you don’t consider fertility rates and the necessary lag time for women to reach child bearing age. The facts are that while population in total may be increasing at the present, the rate of growth is decreasing in most countries (see URL link below).
Just to keep a population at a zero growth rate you must constantly replace the people who are dying from old age, illness, accidents, wars, etc. This replacement rate is generally considered to be 2.1 for developed countries and 2.3 for underdeveloped countries.
So in developed states we need a fertility rate of about 2.1 children per woman and in less developed states we need about 2.3 children per woman just to stay at zero growth.
Now, babies don’t just pop out immediately so you have to wait until the woman is of child bearing age plus nine months. This is a lag of say 20 years. Additionally, if fertility rates are below the replacement rates of 2.1 or 2.3, the shrinkage of the population will not be noticed for many years but when it is noticed the drop is dramatic, sudden and can feed on itself for generations. The unintended consequences of low fertility rates: 1) not enough young people to support the elderly; 2) aging work force; 3) necessity to import more fertile immigrants; and 4) resultant changes to the culture and standard of living.
The current fertility rate for the USA and Australia is 1.9 and for the UK and France is 2.0; China is 1.7 and Canada is 1.6; all below the necessary 2.1 to maintain zero growth.
The average total fertility rate in the European Union (EU-27) has been calculated at 1.59.
Most fertility rates are down world-wide
