Lessons on “Who-less” Ranting, Duff on Ratigan
- THE “WHO-LESS” RANT
The More That is Said, the More that is Hidden
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
The big news here in the United States is that, one mainstream news show, Dylan Ratigan, almost began to speak the truth before he reined himself in.
He got some of it out, lots of “what” and no “who.”
Days later when “who” started to trickle out, Ratigan had obviously been “spoken to.” We take what we can get. However, as is always the case, what is “not said” is always most important. Sometimes “not saying” is the loudest rant of all.
For those who have not heard “the rant,” here it is:
All better now? Ready to go back to watching the game? Got that out of your system? Bet you didn’t notice that “you’ve been had.”
Why did Ratigan say ” Tens of trillions” when those figures don’t come to the surface, not unless we enter the ethereal world of derivatives, which we did not. Ratigan has that right, not $700 billion, not ever $2.3 trillion but many times that has been secretly pumped out of the Federal Reserve to places unknown.
He knows it. I know it. He even said it. But how can it be true, our national debt is only $15 trillion. We can’t even pay the interest on that. What did Ratigan “let out of the bag” that doesn’t fit any story we have ever been told, $30 or even $80 trillion dollars of public debt created by the Federal Reserve, done on a “whim” at the bidding of who or what?
Why didn’t everyone at the table leap to their feet and say, “What the hell are you talking about, how many trillions, have you lost your mind?”
The Federal Reserve - Is Who?
What Ratigan is saying is that the Federal Reserve, yes that private group of banks, mostly foreign, that “prints our money” has gone totally friggin’ nuts and simply invented or imagined “tens of trillions” of dollars.
Congress never authorized it, nobody “raised the debt ceiling” to allow it, China certainly didn’t say we could do it and they hold the mortgage on America.
Then we wonder, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed last week at over 12,000. Who owns Dow Jones? Is it Rupert Murdoch of Fox News?
Were you aware that there is an entirely new “Dow Jones” that no longer includes the same companies, one rigged to make things appear OK while they really aren’t?
Please, someone explain, not just what is going on but why nobody is asking real questions.
WHY THE RANT? WHY THE ACT? WHY ON MSNBC?
The Real Eliot Ness
It all sounds so attractive, crooked congress, bad Wall Street, pointing out the obvious foibles of our useless congress, something 88% of Americans (average) agree upon in every poll.
Why all the talk about the symptoms and none about the disease?
Is this why we have actors and why this “rant” is nothing but a minor sub-Shakespearean drama?
Here are a couple of analogies:
1). Imagine seeing a Kaposi Sarcoma, a symptom of full blown AIDS and calling it a tattoo.
2). Imagine Eliot Ness arresting a candy store owner in Chicago for selling a pint of bathtub gin and getting his paycheck from Al Capone.
Are you getting the picture?
Wall Street? They did it? They bought congress, they are hiding tens of trillions of dollars in their insolvent/bankrupt dens of iniquity?
Or, is Wall Street just the “candy store” and our actors and their stage play nothing but misdirection.
FOLLOW THE MONEY, HEARD THAT BEFORE?
Show Me the Money !!
Anyone with a television knows any investigation follows the money. Now we are told an investigation or a protest involves “pointing the the finger” for 15 seconds and then moving on, hoping the public has been adequately “inoculated” with controlled dissent.
A major network trying to buy its way into a major story when, of course, the network itself, is an organ of the same unspoken and certainly unseen “dark forces” the actors in their stage plays threaten to, some day, think about alluding to.
Don’t hold your breath.
First of all, Dylan, I have to say “good energy there.”
As a continual guest on “marginal” TV and radio, no pay and occasionally warned what to say and what not to say, his rant is where I go when the Valium and caffeine levels go wrong.
We are supposed to be thankful that someone notices these things:
- Some utterly unknown entity, later misidentified as the “tax code” and “Chinese” are stealing all the money in the world like a Willy Wonka gone bad, perhaps it’s the Grinch?
- American has no economic policy. Thank you for pointing that one out. You get “5″ out of 5 on that one.
- “Congress has been bought.” There we finally begin going somewhere and mainstream media can’t “take it home.” It is like you are describing a sale, which is exactly what happened to America’s government but never mentioning the buyer. Good move there.
Dylan , just as a beginning, a minor one, let’s go one step further:
- Where has the money gone. You say “tens of trillions of dollars” are missing. Where are they now?
- Who took them?
- Why did they take them? Who could spend that much?
- Let me ask this again. Why?
There is another problem, Dylan, “understatement.”
- A couple of weeks ago, Merrill Lynch, the “gutted” subsidiary of the nearly bankrupt Bank of America tried to “launder $79 trillion into the FDIC.
Merrill Lynch- A Mirage on the Water Now
I can’t even make other points. I have to stop right here. Merrill Lynch isn’t worth anything, it has no value, it went under in 2008.
How in the name of all that is holy, could the bankrupt subsidiary of a bankrupt bank be holding enough money to buy China, actually a couple of times over.
Are we all dead here?
Doesn’t anyone ask questions? ML claims they are holding more money than exists, more than the Federal Reserve has every printed since its inception in 1913, in “bad securities,” some call them “toxic derivatives.”
There is no evidence that this “money” or these “derivatives” ever existed, no evidence of where they came from, nobody bought them, no government issued them or regulatory entity ever authorized their issue.
Could someone, please, just mention this, or part of it. You do realize that, when the scope of this is looked at, no conspiracy theory in history comes even close.
Here is the beginning of what we are finding out:
- The “bailout” wasn’t $700 billion but $7 trillion or more, money “lent” to the banks which they made huge profits out of.
- We know that congress never authorized this and the actions of the Federal Reserve in doing so were criminal acts requiring arrest, trials, incarceration, things like that.
- We now know this illegal “looting” that went on, made billions which were paid out to certain individuals, now estimated to be $13 billion, no taxes were paid, the money never went into banks, the money never even went into the United States.
- In fact, most of the “bailout” is not included on any list of our “national debt” or any legal transaction of our government at all. It was a private, “under the table” deal cut between individuals, not really banks at all, and a group of individuals best described as what they are, organized crime, who are allowed to do anything, no matter how illegal or damaging to America, because they are above any law.
Nothing on this scale has ever been done before. The official estimate for “money” stolen, the stuff Ratigan is talking about, is $1,450 trillion dollars, money in excess of all wealth on earth.
It isn’t just America’s congress but the EU, Russia, China and Japan who are covering this up. What we want to know, as I ask again:
- Where is the money?
- Why was it stolen?
- What is the plan, world domination, turning the planet over to lizard aliens or something worse, though my imagination is now beginning to wear thin here.
There Seem to be Holes in the Accounting
I can’t even begin to imagine what congress or the Federal Reserve or all these organizations, and there are so many, are thinking.
How can there be “debt” when nobody sold anything to anyone, nothing changed hands.
Do you think this money is all “bad mortgages for evil Negroes” as the Republican Party tried to tell us 3 years ago, when only they knew and were busy lying to all of us?
With public and private debt across the world estimated at over $2500 trillion dollars, do we owe all that money to China for VCRs sitting in Salvation Army stories, unwise purchases made during the 1990s or is it all owed to Verizon Wireless for “data overage” charges on Android phones?
You do understand that the numbers we are tossing around are considered “real” by major financial entities and are sufficient to “collateralize” the purchase of the sun? Is someone planning to sell it? What would you wrap it in?
Any other suggestions?
THE IGNORED REALITIES
Ratigan talks about “bought congress.” Here is who bought congress:
- The “Israel lobby” is the single biggest holder of financial leverage on congress with a continual agenda involving support of a) Protecting financial criminals, b) Staying at war continually for reasons that are now “unclear,” c) Laundering foreign aid to Israel back to the US in the form of bribes to congress, a form of “pump priming.”
- Drug cartels: $100 billion per year, 80% from Afghanistan, some from Mexico, is pared down to about $2 billion in election financing laundered through “corporations” now allowed unlimited and unaudited political contributions
- The Same Old Guys: The oil, drug, pollution and, let’s not forget, the Republican Party’s love affair with filling America with illegal aliens to push down wages. Leading this effort? The US Chamber of Commerce, keeping America’s borders unguarded for decades now.
Ratigan, next time you rant, do remember to use a teleprompter.
Ratigan describes the biggest crime wave in history, obviously something done by an organization that is above any government. I can understand him not wanting to put any name on it. I feel the same way. Every time I say “New World Order,” I can see eyes roll back into heads.
THE OBVIOUS
Project For a New American Century - It's Imperial Wizards
Let’s talk about “when.” This wasn’t done before, it was done when Bush came into office. Bush had a advisors and planners. His advisors were PNAC, a largely Israeli based group that planned, they claim, to position the United States to “rule the world” after a “Pearl Harbor” type incident would allow the government to enact new laws and start a chain of wars in Central Asia.
More of the PNAC Gang
The “in place” management was to be Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Cheney, who would control the military and intelligence operations during the Bush presidency.
Less formally were a group of financial criminals who were appointed to stop all financial regulation.
In fact, all oversight and regulation, from environment to working standards to veterans health and welfare came to a virtual halt after the Supreme Court appointed Bush to the presidency, an power denied that body by the Constitution of the United States.
In fact, this is the last time we saw any evidence of there being a constitution.
Since 2001, no branch of government, be it legislative, judicial or executive has made mention of other than the most minor constitutional abuses.
Cases involving torture or violations of speech are brought before the court but the only substantive action was the bizarre move to endow corporations, multi-national “deathless” entities with a special superhuman status, no legal restraints to suddenly be empowered with very special and unique political rights.
These rights that have allowed them to use their financial leverage, leverage gained through operating in an illegal and unregulated environment, to repay the politicians who very simply ended all enforcement of criminal and civil law.
There are exceptions. Laws against the poor are “alive and well.” Selective enforcement against political enemies, whistleblowers and “mavericks,” real ones anyway, is also “alive and well.”
MORE THAN OBVIOUS
Whether we are talking to “Occupy” activists, or simply the citizens of the world, there is one watershed that changed everything.
9/11
For over 10 years, beginning the second “the incident” began, a carefully scripted cover story involving violations of every scientific principle and dozens of laws and well established precedents went into motion.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of steel vaporized in a small fire, two towers were hit but three collapsed and a missile hit the Pentagon.
For 10 years, the lies have been sold and resold, news but mostly movies and TV shows, all peddling everything but the truth.
FEAR OF 9/11 DISCLOSURE
Did You Just Here Something? - No...Did You ?
Evidence exists that Israelis ran the 9/11 attack exists, enough evidence to convince any jury. In fact, there was a trial in Britain regarding their “9/11″ which they call “7/7.”
It was proven during the trial that the London attacks by “Muslims” was actually done by Israeli intelligence.
You won’t read about it anywhere else but all you will ever need to be convinced is here: Suppressed News: “False Flag” Whistleblower Acquitted in Britain
For those who have managed to avoid dealing with the controversy of 9/11, those subjected to the controlled media barrage that I believe is very much a part of the orchestrated effort to steal enough money to buy the sun, this Tony Lawson video is a reasonable “baby step” toward becoming sane again.
If a twinge of return to reality is stimulated here, we can help.
A critical issue is Israeli involvement in 9/11, something we believe we can prove. This is, in itself, a problem. If one speaks about Israel doing wrong, one is attacked as an “antisemite.”
In fact, a flurry of name calling and personal attacks seems to have been part of the plan from the beginning and, for awhile, it worked quite well.
Disappering Like Grains of Sand - But Where Is It Going?
What if those who use the term “antisemite” with such regularity, often against people who never show the courage of even pointing out evidence of Israeli complicity, are attacked as “antisemites” anyway? It happens every day.
Some might call it “proof.” Others might be simply made suspicious. Suspicion is a good place to begin, it was where I started. Now, for reasons none of us know anything of, the world has changed, black is white, white is yellow and, as Dylan Ratigan tells us, “tens of trillions of dollars have vanished.”
They vanished like hundreds of thousands of tons of structural steel on 9/11, the like United States Air Force vanished. All these mysterious “vanishings” are related, if you hadn’t guessed already.
Did you see when the constitution vanished? It is gone also, vanished like our government, the one that Dylan Ratigan says has been “bought.”
Is that a form of “vanishing” too? Is it, just maybe, our “freedoms” and “rights” that disappeared?
Now, and I am not sure why, Americas relationship with Israel, despite superficial claims to the contrary, has fallen apart. We actually get along with Pakistan better than we get along with Israel. Can I explain why?
Of course not, all I know is what the news tells me and I know the news is “invented,” at least any part involving issues Israel is involved in. Why is that?
This takes us back to the Ratigan rant. He said someone “owned” congress but never mentioned who.
I am saying someone “owns” the press but I am not mentioning who.
Why would Dylan Ratigan claim that congress is “owned” and Gordon Duff claim the press is “controlled” and yet refuse to name who “owns” and who “controls?” Why indeed?

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.”
He went on to explain:
“It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

Thanks G
What! The New York Times (jewish owned), Washington Post (Jewish owned) not sure about Time. But Time is a right wing rag that is going to censor its Dec. 5th edition. Europe and other countries will have a completely different front page..than we in the US…there is not ONE newspaper or media outlet we can trust. RT News, Democracy Now, Grit TV, and Current TV are the only ones to come even close to truth telling.
And even some of those are not what they seem, but they still allow a couple of people with agendas on the air.
Amen, We all need to be aware of what their ‘key’ issues are…like RT’s coverage on Libya. They were really pissed and just used hack journalist there, totally unknown, because they gave them exactly what they wanted in return for all the visibility they got. RT really hurt it’s image with the stupidity…and for what? They got nothing out of it but some irritation for NATO.
They must have figured, why not do it…it’s a free shot…we have this platform…but they paid in lost credibility. Notice how reserved Press TV was…and how they supported the Revolution…even though their Gulf countries enemies were involved.
They did not have a knee jerk response beause they wanted good relations with the new regime…whereas Russia and China are burned their now.
For us it was a no brainer. Whe you see anti-imperialist lefties and hard core ‘pre-emptive strike Necons’ working together…ah…that is not a natural event…but one that has been orchestrated by professional with a sizeable budget.
Yet most of the Alt media sites screamed like pigs when we put it out, so we knew they were in on it for the money. They were not stupid. They thought they could ride the Libya coverage to take themselves up a notch, and like Russia and China, took themselves down.
Meanwhile, a bunch of nobodies with no money, the Occupy crowd, shot past them like a speeding bullet, and were widely accepted around the world, even thougn nobody knew one single name among them. It slowed how pitiful the conviving Radical inflitrated Left had been. They have a hard time not filling a cab.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, our international readership keeps growing, and Gordon cannot even do all the radio and tv interview requests, despite our out producing them by the truck load here, and with no funding.
Okay, I’ll bite. Why?
With the “overwhelming” passage of the recent senate atrocity that has done everything but blatantly state “Welcome to martial law America”, the “Why” is more an exclaimation than a question now.
You are now “officially” guilty……and THEY don’t have to bother with proving YOUR innocence……EVER!
All hail the “bought and paid for” Zionist States of America. Maybe I’ll bump into you on the express train to nowhere.
We are all now potential threats to the New World Order. Our phones are tapped, we are spied on, every word we write on the internet is read…so what the hell…they cant lock us all up, or imprison us all, the courts would be overwhelmed…its time to stand up people…stand up and fight or this countries goose is cooked. Our children and grandchildren will never forgive our generation.
In the process of trying to sift through information, conspiracies, writings, news clips, religious fantasies, wishful thinking, idealisms etc., one can get overwhelmed and come out feeling confused and helpless in this unfair, unbalanced world of ignorance.
Although I am for being well informed, lets not forget what information, accurate or not, in the hands of emotional imbalance can do. It can create more problems. In other words one becomes the terrorist partially out of helplessness and emotional ignorance.
I found in working with combat vets that when they realized how we were screwed in terms of some of the reasons we ended up in Vietnam violently, they tend to come unglued, PTSD is aggravated, family suffers, suicide/homicide ideation intrudes. Substance abuse increases.
You know what I am talking about. The point is that therapy, hopefully without alot of drugs or alcohol, can help balance this all out as can having close family or relationships to help moderate the roller coaster.
Confusion is the first step toward enlightenment but also can be the first step into the abyss.
Yeah the truth about what’s really happening can piss you off. So let’s all be real careful of what we say while the media whores continue to use the airwaves to spew lies and propaganda. Heaven forbid the truth push someone who is unstable over the edge. That’s what I worry about most.
The Holocaust is real. It just hasn’t happened, yet.
Since “they” soon to establish their New World Order where a whole new money system will take place, I had to ask myself why they’d be doing this. My guess is that when (not if) the new system is put in place, it will start out (until a time period when they can again ruin it with fiat money) be gold backed. But before then, they probably want to have all THEIR buddies buy as much gold with funny bucks and totally have the system owned later.
Ya!!!! Stick your frickin’ neck out for the guillotine Rick Sanchez.!…err I mean, Dylan Ratigan!!!!
Keep going Gordon, Dylan finally took the risk. As you and the Veteran with the Occupiers have been saying it, it is a matter of “protect and defend —–foreign and domestic .The Occupy effort must drop generalities and stick with the Patriotic principle that our system of government as the Founders intended it is good, those who run it are bad.
So the Protester are taking action in DC with that corrupt Congress. They are finally going face to face . As Dylan and the group at that table said “what can we do about it?” Are you kidding I and so many of us, and clearly spelled out in this widely red report, if we want action we have to square off with Congress.
I even published the laws already on the books that are not being enforces. Stop the bribery’s. But if we really want fast action go to Congress as Jesus went to the Temple I am not religious but Congress has been standing on God,s will, so, Get THOSE LOBBIES AND LOBBYIST OUT OF THE PEOPLES HOUSE , let the Representatives take care of their state interest in their state with their people and Vote what their will not what their Money Changers want.
AND while they have the right to form Political Parties to advance the interest of their constituents the best way to clean out the encrusted scum is to stand on the fact that no position has been given to Parties by the Constitution, in fact George Washington in his farewell address made it clear they are special interest and to beware of them.
Enforce the law, stick to the constitution, there are only three branches, the Legislative, Judiciary and Executive, each has its domain spelled out. So let the people occupy Congress and clean it out. Review the rules they make for themselves and clean it out. Occupy the Justice Dept. and tell them to enforce the law ASAP, there you will find that the issue of gifts to Congress member has already been spelled out as Bribery but not enforced.
Demand that proper laws be passed and idiot laws removed. Do this and the problem can be controlled. Foreign entities have Embassies, that is where they can discuss their case. Only official treaties are binding not special privileges for ” favorite friends” that has been spelled out by the Founders as “Foreign Intrigue” and to stay away from it. Keep showing the people dislike for special interest fund raising.
The greatest thing about time is the perspective gained by its passing. Those who still have not absorbed the truth from the lies and deceptions of 9/11 are more apt to recognize the very thing they denied, through the linkage of dots while traveling through the time passage.
Those dots are all over the place now and have fingered the guilty parties, all of them; fanatic Christians, fanatic Arabs, fanatic Jews, twisted Satanists, secret hand shakers, corrupt central bankers, puppet politicians, treasonous military men, murderous hit men, lame brain contractors, stooge union leaders… all those usual suspects who played a role in the crime of the century will find their place in hell for what they attempted.
That isn’t to say the Ratigan Rant fell short totally, to call out the prime suspects, the scum in central banking whose global plans not only embraced 9/11, but the displacement of the people in Greece and Italy today, who both lost their Prime Ministers, their rights to elect new leaders and were forced to accept the bankers’ technocrats to run their ruined nations. That is what lies in between the pages of the world playbook the banking monsters use everyday to force their debt/slave control upon the entire planet.
Anybody who looks at the current Draconian laws being contemplated and enacted by our bought Congress will understand what 9/11 was; an inside war on this nation to destroy our sovereign republic by forcing tyranny upon a free people using illegal odious debt instruments to finance a false enemy. By slugging us and pointing to a set up patsy, this nation fell under the spell of a controlled media and a state operated propaganda methodology using the Tavistock model of population control.
Dylan Ratigan tried to ring the alarm, his voice rose to an emotional level to call attention to our plight, but he missed this item below, which I will leave for you to read, that will define clearly what Ratigan was really trying to say;
http://www.zerohedge.com/print/365866
One of the ladies on the panel asked “What would “you” do right now?” He said he would start a bank an loan money out at 2%. Where did the 2% number come from? Does nobody understand how to manage a medium of exchange?
First you must understand this thing called money. It’s an improvement on direct barter. As such, it stands for what barter stands for … “a promise to complete a trade”. Knowing that, the medium of exchange manager supplies “media” to facilitate trades. When the trades are complete, the “media” is returned to the manager and extinguished. In the mean time, the “media” circulates in commerce facilitating other trades. It’s not something the manager “pumps” into the economy and “takes back out”.
Traders control all that by their propensity to trade. All the manager does is assure the governing relation: INFLATION = DEFAULT – INTEREST. With the job of backing all trades and of maintaining INFLATION always at zero, when a trader DEFAULTs, the manager must make good on the trade. He must then collect INTEREST to reclaim that circulating media.
It is all a trivially simple process … not unlike running an insurance business. But it has never been implemented throughout all known history. So, if the 2% number is right, it means 2% of trades are DEFAULTING. Frankly, right now, far more than 2% of trades are DEFAULTING and INTEREST (at least collected from that class of the irresponsible) should be charged accordingly.
And regarding the trillions: If A borrows a trillion from B who borrows a trillion from C, how much is borrowed? Is it 3 trillion? Or is it 1 trillion? It’s 1 trillion, and it’s no big deal if it is paid back as promised. Derivatives are just a long chain, and no one knows what the net amount is. But if the guy at the end of the chain defaults it can cause everyone in the chain to default.
Part of the problem is with our culture altogether. And it does include most of us in the 99% to some degree or another. We are a culture of rugged individualism, eminent domain, competition, gambling, ethnocetricism, genocide, slavery, delusions of the cult of being Number One in the world, being the best country in the world, and other neurotic forms of exceptionalism. Exceptionalism is, at least in part inflated ego which makes one believe that one is better then those of other countries, cultures, styles of government, different kind of health care systems etc. It may be that the truely different 1% are those spiritual people you may meet occasionally who are above, beyond, these cultural norms, and they dont necessarily stand on a stage or run for office and may be humble but wrathful and powerful in ways that most of us dont understand but may admire. They network sometimes without the electronics of the modern era but are not opposed to using these networks. When one of them takes the stage too blatently they may be eliminated. Even when a politician starts to glimpse this light there will be an incredible lobby to pressure them back into the current governing cult. This is not just about money or economics but includes these things. DHS, CIA, etc have little power over this 1% although they naively dabble in it for selfish or paranoid reasons. Working on the path of having ones mind and heart in balance is the training to get into this 1%. Money and class have little to do with it. It does not mean that we shouldnt have some class stuggle for balance but doing it without major work on the mind heart balance will boomarang as we have seen it do in alot of the class stuggles historically that end up being violent and repressive in the long run again.
Really? Problem? I could have sworn that bringing freedom, democracy & human rights to Libya by slaughtering a few hundred thousand people, ethnically-cleansing, torturing, castrating & raping Libya’s black population and capturing, torturing, sodomizing and murdering its head-of-state was our main priority. These tens of trillions stolen from Americans and the destruction of American democracy, freedom & human rights are small potatoes by comparison – isn’t it? Is it not pretty obvious I’ve been reading too many Duff/Dean articles?
