The European Central Bank is now pushing for the ability to take over a participating nation's sovereignty, in order to enforce the desired austerity measures. That is, a private bank will have higher authority than the State itself. What many people do not realize is that a central bank (or the Federal Reserve) does not belong to the public. Instead, it makes money from the public by lending money to the government (which it prints out of thin air), for which it later collects interest payments covered by our taxes. These institutions are in fact "for-profit" private organizations. The ECB is not public, Bank of England is not public, the Federal Reserve is not public. They are private institutions, much like WalMart or McDonalds. The only difference is that politicians in the western world have 'gifted' them the exclusive right to print their country's money, in exchange for hefty bribes. It is the equivalent of giving McDonalds the exclusive right to print dollars and lend them to the government with interest. In that context, the Federal Reserve is no more Federal than McDonalds, the Bank of England is no more England's than Tesco, and the same goes for the European Central Bank. The majority of their shares are privately owned, there is legislation in place to protect the identity of their shareholders, their names are not required to be disclosed in public filings, and on top of that, these institutions cannot be audited.

The fact that our nations cannot print their own money and that they have to borrow it from a private institution with interest, means that every dollar, sterling, or euro, is "borrowed into existence". We, as taxpayers, are effectively paying for that interest, and the central bankers are getting a free lunch. And it's a big one. And not only that, this system along with Wall Street gives them all the money they need to buy the political, the legislative, and the media scene, which is key for keeping this ponzi fraud running. That's how politicians and regulators appear so blind to what seems so obvious to the rest of us, and that's why the media feeds us propaganda, sports and soap operas, instead of screaming about the central banker occupation and educating the public.

A few years ago I finished my MBA at a top school. Later I was shocked to realize that we were first taught about the role of the central banks, but only later we were given the tools to understand cartels, collusion, etc.. Had this happened the other way around, the whole class would have screamed: "THE BANKING CARTEL IS THE BIGGEST OF THEM ALL!!!" I can't help wondering, do they own education too?

In the past, control was exercised by the means of force. Today the political theater has been invented, whereby marketing a good excuse to the public allows one in "democratic" power to steal their money and freedom without them revolting! Yesterday the chairman of the European Central Bank announced that the bank will seek to gain sovereign control of a participating nation when required, enforced by amending the EU Treaty. Greece has already lost their sovereignty, and more nations are next in line, including the US (beware of the IMF). That's not democracy, that's cleptocracy. It is institutionalized dictatorship, we are occupied by the central bankers! I mean, we really are at war and most people haven't realized. People's wealth and savings are to be stolen via benefit cuts, taxation, and for those with more liquid assets, by inflation. If the Treaty Amendments pass (and they will), nations will literarily be governed by the central banks on a political level. I'm trying to recall when was the last time in history that banks were "by law" more powerful than sovereign governments, and I honestly think this will be the first time ever.

The "Occupy" movement is a good start (i.e., occupy Syntagma, occupy Wall Street, occupy London, occupy Vancouver, etc.), but we also need unified and meaningful demands in order to succeed. That is, what is it exactly that protesters are demanding of governments? Because, let's not fool...
