Many ex-U.S. Presidents have said it - Our elected government will never do anything about it! - And you just don't want to hear about it!
(Most American's can quote Seinfeld episodes word for word .... yet wonder why our government is now run by crooks and morons .... Read up and realize that some great U.S. Presidents have been telling us all about this stuff for a very long time!)
HAVE WE BEEN LISTENING? .... Answer: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
 James Madison, The 4th President of the United States
(in office 1809 - 1817)
"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance."
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
"Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done."
"Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions."
"We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties."
"The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad."
"The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money."
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself."
An excerpt from the Federalist Paper No. 51, February 8, 1788, written under his pen name, 'Plubius'.
 John F. Kennedy, The 35th President of the United States (in office 1961 - 1963)
"We (implying: my adminstration) are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
"If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's." (Richard Sez: Unless he has an endless amount of money and political influence!)
"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
"The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution."
"The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings."
"Things do not happen. Things are made to happen."
"When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity."
"The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his plight."
-- John F. Kennedy, speaking at Columbia University, 10 days before his assassination.
************************
 Thomas Jefferson, The 3rd President of the United States (in office 1801–1809)
"The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become
corrupt, our people careless .... From the conclusion of this
[Revolutionary] war we shall be going down hill. It will not be
necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will
be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will
forget themselves in the sole faculty of making money, and will never
think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion
of this war, will be heavier and heavier, till our rights shall
revive or expire in a convulsion."
"The first job of a true patriot is to question the Government."
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
************************
 Woodrow Wilson, 28th U.S. President (in office 1913 -1921)
(Note: Upon discovering, in hindsight, that his role in the formation of the Federal Reserve Bank was a colossal blunder) - he wrote:
"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."
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
"Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy."
********************
 Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President, (in office 1861 - 1865)
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching
that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.
As the result of the War, corporations have been enthroned .... An
era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power
of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon
the prejudices of the people .... until wealth is aggregated in a few
hands... and the Republic is destroyed."
Abraham Lincoln 1864
Richard Sez.... "What? Was this guy actually the most revered and respected President of all time, or was he just another meddling 'conspiracy theorist' trying to upset the corporate apple cart for no good reason?"
********************
 Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th U.S. President, (in office 1953 - 1961)
"The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office."
"This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect."
"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."
"We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security."
"Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America."
Richard Sez.... "Please note that Eisenhower was the first career military man in the White House since Ulysses S. Grant - 18th President, 1869 - 1877. It is little wonder that he was rewarded with such an ill-fitting reputation as a milk toast, do-nothing president. Politicians of his time hated the idea of a non-political, world renowned war hero becoming president. Being well respected around the globe -having great personal integrity and other fine human qualities - surely would set a dangerous precedent among those with less interest in morality and character. Open your eyes - and remember that liars, thieves and charlatans always prefer to operate in an environment that is lacking in strict accountability - eschews morality - and shuns character! So a small group of criminals have managed, over many years, to turn our special experiment in government into a three ring circus run by rich and powerful clowns! What a heart-warming concept to take with you as you trundle off to your favorite electronically controlled 'voting' booth!"
********************
 George Washington, First U. S. President, (In office 1789 - 1797)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
************************************
FOR THE SAKE OF FAIRNESS AND BALANCE .... More FACTS:
George Bush - 43rd potus
An incident took place in November, 2005 , when a group of congressional Republicans paraded into the Oval Orifice to discuss the renewal of the US Patriot Act. One aide said during the meeting that some provisions of the Act undermined the Constitution. Whereupon, Dubya, according to three witnesses, screamed back:
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face, It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Richard Sez: "Just like the roll of TP in the bathroom, right Georgie?"
Another quote spoken at a presidential campaign stop in Florence, SC, January 11, 2000:
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
********************
Billy Clinton - 42rd potus
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
President Bill Clinton, denying the relationship that he later revealed to have occurred, January 26, 1998
Richard Sez: "I don't mean to be disrespectful - But I just can't stand a lying scum sucker - besides he was disrespectful to our country first! "
Another quote:
"You know the one thing that’s wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say."
President Bill Clinton, addressing a crowd in the Courtyard, City Hall, Philadelphia, PA, May 28, 1993
Richard Sez: "I don't make jokes - I just watch the government and report the facts."
