After the American Revolution the money in America was somewhat worthless. More worthless were the bonds and promissory notes issued by the Army and Government: IOU's. 

Because they were largely worthless pieces of paper, most sold them for pennies to speculators. For example, 16 speculators owned half of Rhode Island's bonds. Further, state's debts that financed the war were worthless with no way to repay them. In modern language these were all 'cram downs' the face value crammed downward to market value of 15 cents on the dollar as sold to speculators. Or complete write offs, worth zero, used for toilet paper.

So what did Hamilton do and bamboozle the congress into? He paid the full amount due, the original face value, but had the interest rate reduced from 6 to 4 percent. This is like owing $15 and saying "I think I'll give you $100." Nobody does this. This was the start of runaway government by inept corrupt politicians payoffs and when bankers got married to bring us strings of fraudulent elections.

So why did Hamilton, when America had the opportunity to pay 15-25 cents on the dollar and the debt holders would have been overjoyed to get this, donit? Why did he reward foreign banks and speculators who made a whopping 650% return overnight: $15 what they paid for the bond as a speculator was now instantly worth its face value of $100. Hamilton was an attorney who catered to merchant clients before he went into politics. It was a payoff in the biggest way, as presidential politicians still do today in every election (hidden money in politics/corruption) as banks are the largest contributors to candidates and political parties. And like in the last Great Recession with obvious criminal fraud...NOBODY went to jail. Obvious and incredible but we all just watch and get ripped off. The banking system has been married to the political system since Hamilton started it in 1787. 300 million as 1 to save our future we are all going to UN-marry them. 

So let's see who made and lost all the money through this corrupt system. The original investors of the bonds, the middle class merchants of America lost 85% on their investment.  They put in $100 and the speculator (who knew Halmilton or of him) "bought it for only $15".  The inside game we the people never see.

Hamilton instructs and then lobby's the federal government with endless energy to pay face value on all these bonds/IOU's. The investor class wins big time and then keeps using that money to support candidates like Hamilton who 'pay' them off, (choke, cough) 'legally' in a "speculation" cycle every 10 years.

Now let's compare what stupid old American Dream-Robbing Alexander Hamilton did with what I did, given the same situation. Me, Adrian, in my day job in same position (Chief Financial Officer, that's what Secretary of Treasury is) taking the reins of a small completely bankrupt bank, at about the same age he was in his early 30's. But I did the opposite.  

I Adrian, was brought in in 1994 to be the interim CFO of the second most unprofitable bank in the nation in 1992: it was failing and about to be shut. All the loans worth 15 cents on the dollar if anything as there were NO loan files: they'd all been shredded by the fraudulent bankers who were long gone.

But instead of selling out the middle class merchants whose business and livelihood was tied to the collateral and personal guarantees the bank held, I took dramatic and unprecedented action. I told the borrowed the truth about fraud at the bank. And instead of selling their loans to "speculators" and "investors" at 15% on the dollar who would then resell back to the borrower (if they were lucky) at 40-60% on the dollar, I just agreed to write off about 20% of the loan. Now understand, the bank and the federal and state regulators couldn't wait to write off 85%-100% and close the bank. My first day on the job the Federal regulators started chewing me out, the new guy day 1.  After 60 seconds I stood up and I told them to leave and return in two weeks. I told them "If I can't fix it by then, shut it down". I fixed it. Two weeks. Not that difficult. MMMagic!

Like Hamilton I did also reduce customers interest rate by 33%. Voila! Like magic, a failed bank became a healthy thriving bank OVERNIGHT!  All the loans were restructured over the next few months and OVERNIGHT the bank was saved and was later sold. To an attorney, like Hamilton. The investor wealth class always on the prowl like hyenas. Note the reference in the intro of my song Leave The City of the Damned. Now you have a better idea of what I'm singing about.

But let's really look what I did and how blindingly fast I did it. The bank who was insured by the federal government, us, we the people, only lost 20%, not 85%. The 20% was later repaid as new capital was raised once the bank was healthy and purchased. The merchants who had the loans who employs people like you and me and pays taxes got to stay in business and keep employing people, who all pay taxes. 

KEY POINT: I left out the money class out of it and it went blindingly fast and saved all the money. I didn't payoff anybody (speculators) and didn't leave the government (us as it becomes national debt, another Hamilton trick of the Constitution) holding the bag on a massive write off only the speculators would benefit from.

So good old Alexander Hamilton didn't do anything revolutionary but leave the government with the big bill, left all of us 300 million ordinary hard working citizens holding the bag, and empowered the American wealth class of a course of controlling politics by being ready accomplices to stealing from the middle class. By the way, when they say "The government is the lender of last resort" in a crisis, they are talking about YOU the citizen. We lend OUR FUTURES as they just pile it on the national debt: $25 TRILLION and counting. Now when you add in a Defense budget 100 times what it needs to be, you know where most of the $25 trillion went.

So if I was President, or Treasury Secretary, during the last financial crisis where we pumped trillions into the last banking crisis to bail them out, I would have solved the whole thing overnight for just pennies. The politicians are totally inept and corrupt and are following Hamiltons playbook every Recession. It's like a bloodletting every 10 years. I hope you know millionaires and billionaires know this cycle well and take in rents during good times and wait for the blood in the streets to buy for pennies on the dollar in fake recessions. Take the Recession before last. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates straight up for two years from 4% to 8.25%. And just like the warm up to the 1932 Great Depression, the economy collapsed. History is cyclical...and everyone at the Fed knew it. It was a middle class bloodletting. Chilling isn't it?

So let's get to real eyewitness examples of this corruption and bloodletting. I saw this corruption play out first hand as a lender over several financial crisis (the Savings and Loan scandals, the Too Big To Fail Bank Collapse, Housing Collapse, etc) and several recessions. Middle class merchants (not billionaires) would come to me saying "I paid my loan as agreed. The bank failed and the loans were sold off to "investors" who are now foreclosing on my loan!  I need a loan quick!"  So let's examine the petty theft and grand larceny going on. The good bank customer who was paying his loan, employing us, gets sold out. The speculator "buys" (steals) with the help of Federal Government Regulators a $1,000,000 loan (Our checking account money lent out backed by a government guarantee) for a price of $150,000-$200,000 paid by the "investor-speculator". 

Now the speculator doing nothing demands full payment on the loan even though it was paid as agreed and has real estate collateral. The investor is foreclosing because he can take the business and building which is worth $800,000-$1,000,000 and get/steal, an overnight 400-500% profit. Alexander Hamilton lives on! Same deal as in 1787 handing profit to the wealth class speculators.  

If the "investor" has a bit of a conscience he "sells" the loan back to the borrower for $600,000 and only makes a 200% overnight profit. Now the investor tripled his money (these are a taste of the unseen political payoffs- real dark money in politics, it's where they get the money to payoff politicians) the borrower if he was able to buy back his loan, after being scared to death for a year, now got a reduction of 40%.

So in maybe 1/2 such cases, the bank we the people insure loses big time, we pay out and it goes into our national debt of say $800,000. The borrower if he was lucky to get refinancing, from another bank we the people insure, got $400,000 free money, a 40% write off. Half such borrowers lost their property and business lost their 20% down payment on the loan of $200,000 and we the people lost $800,000. Now understand...losing a business CREATES UNEMPLOYMENT! Inept politicians because they don't know how to solve a banking "crisis" are the biggest creators of unemployment. When widespread, across a city, or a COUNTRY, does what? Drives wages down, makes your job harder as there are 10 people begging for your job. I hope everyone is absorbing this tyrannical system we are all stuck in and if you add your name and tell everyone to do it with you, we can get out of this mess. That's one of the opera songs "Get Out of this Mess". The only real winner in this corrupt system is the multi million dollar and billionaire investor. 300 million of us lose every single time.

Now understand, this went on ALL ACROSS AMERICA in the last Great Recession. We the people get stuck with the bill. It added $10 trillion or some ungodly number to our national debt. That's why there's no money for schools, free college, healthcare, job training. ITS ALL BEING STOLEN.

Now put it all together. This has been repeating in one form or another SINCE 1787 WHEN ALEXANDER HAMILTON started it and highjacked a government of the people into a centralized government who caters only to the wealth class. As another of my other songs laments: NOTHIN'S CHANGIN'.

This is our 300 Million As 1 awakening to how we've all been ripped off decade after decade as the wealth class keep filling their pockets and leaving we the people the bill. Jigs up, they've stolen so much America's economy keeps collapsing: those are called "bubbles" and "recessions". That's why I'm asking every single American to end this runaway government by subscribing to the RTDNOW movement for $1/month and by adding their names 300 million as 1 at RTDNOW.COM signing our 2nd Declaration of Independence from runaway government: REDEEM THE DREAM NOW!
