I don't know how that's representative of "current". Seems tainted a lot by Hudes personal agenda, but then that's the whole point I guess.

The economy all around the world is being heavily affected by things such as "international currency traders," and by the entire notion of "multi-national corporations." Both of these are concepts, created by businessmen, which are intended to circumvent the laws and the strictures of any individual country ... but, to the detriment of all of the countries within that trading-community.

"If the cat's away," we already know that "the mice will play." But, here we have "many cats, any one of which could make quick work of that mouse," but none of them are doing it because the mice have told them that none of them have jurisdiction. (The cats have not yet realized: "I'm a cat. Therefore, I can eat any mouse I want." Authority Has Its Privileges, and that's why nations were created in the first place and why there's a system of authority. But first, authority must be asserted.)

Further complicating the situation is "one especially fat cat," the United States, which appears to be manufacturing mouse-food in unlimited supply, but is doing so using Rumpelstiltskin's spinning-wheel. The other cats haven't (yet) wised-up to the impossibility of this, because there seems to be "so damned much Money to be made." (Their own greed is getting the better of them, and the Mice are egging them on. No one's sobering-up enough to realize that it is impossible for there to actually be "that much Money." We see impossibly large numbers whirling past our eyes in a blur, with currency-symbols next to them. We want to believe it, and we've surrounded ourselves by people who encourage us to do so. We want to be encouraged.)

The Love Of Money, etc. Yep, human nature gets us all, in the end.

But the problem is now being clearly felt, and therefore clearly recognized, by a world-wide community of ordinary people who, thanks in part to the Internet, are talking about it, as we are here. This is the first impetus for change.

As a world-wide community of "communities of people," we are in fact being defrauded by a relatively-minuscule group of people who have the breathless audacity to call themselves (stupidly ...) "the one-percent." The truth is, if the numbers that you are looking at are telling you that "more than 50 of the wealth of the world(!) is held by 1 of the people," or whatever-it-is, what you are actually looking at is a system that is broken, to the point of it being nonsensical and dysfunctional.

This is "Rumpelstiltskin's folly," computerized.

And yet, "100 of the people" rely upon that system. You. Me. All of us.

The system is going to have to be fixed. The mice, so to speak, must be eaten, if not firmly put back into their cages. The "morning-after" pages of the Rumpelstiltskin story must be read. The fraud, avarice, corruption and greed must be confronted ... peacefully but decisively ... and that means first confronting our own human nature. World-wide.

It's something that every new generation of people has to do, all over again. Homo sapiens is like that.

"Extraordinary Popular Delusions" and "The Madness of Crowds." There's a reason why those two hundred-year old books are still in print, and still bundled together.

This interview is very interesting, but I can't understand one thing: at one point Huds talks about the Vatican bank, and she brings up Jesuits!? I just don't see how this is linked to the interview in any way. Any ideas on why she brought it up?

Uh, Yeah! THAT's where I lost it, Jesuits controlling China. Actually it all starting out with paragraphs about Obamacare was bad enough. Not that I think that policy is any good, but she's a banker and she's spending time yapping about that. No solution by the way, just criticisms. Interesting.

The economy, weather, and movie releases go in cycles.

No argument that there is a distribution of wealth, given that China's economy has grown exponentially, commerce needs to head in that direction. Plus India, and probably soon some of the countries that have been pariahs due to political issues, like Cuba, Iran, North Korea; provided that they end up being agreeable participants with the rest of the world.

My BS detector went off very early on, when she said "printing money" instead of "increasing the money supply", even though she supposedly used to work at the World Bank.

I got halfway through the transcript before realizing that she wasn't actually answering any of the interview questions or saying anything specific. Then I CTRL+F'd and searched for "Jesuit".

And, yeah, "The Jesuits have a very strong stranglehold in China as well" is the actual sentence. I think you can evaluate the value of her fantasy (and then dismiss it in its entirety) from that alone.

I also did a brief web search for any mainstream coverage of this person. I didn't get anything, not even Fox News. All I got were conspiracy websites. Compare what you'd get when you search for coverage of an actual American whistleblower who's now in Russia. You know who I'm talking about.
