I love the idea but the results will be a popularity contest decided by aliases and trolls.
You know that.

Yo every week we should have a Higher Learning "Post of the Week"
- Thread starter OsO
- Start date
please continue
I met with a former congressman who gave me the actual numbers and percentages but I lost the piece of paper it was on. It must be with my copy of the styles p aaliyah tape. In any event, this link gives a good breakdown. Any familiar names? Heh. And Paul Warburg authored the fed reserve basically, who was a german nationalist. The rabbit hole goes deep.
Who owns the Fed?
Btw all we gotta do is find the top three posts by dap total under a predefined criterion then put a poll up.

Lol...how many times do you think I've tried to tell him this? You can type until you're blue in the face, you will NEVER reach him. I've been trying to convince this guy to start trying to actually learn about the shyt he's talking about for months since the 1st podcast, before that even, and he hasn't budged one millimeter.
He gets an erroneous half-truth or falsehood in his head and will not let it go no matter what. Until he realizes he has to actually study and research things instead of thinking he can intuit his way through every complex issue, he will stay in the dark. Go ahead and keep on trying to reason with him in this thread. I already know the outcome.

Lol...if we go by dap total, my post about Jay-Z not being on the richest drug dealer list because they took away the 92 bricks would win post of the week.
And if we did that, people would just form dap clicks and dikkride each other.
The whole thing is a horrible idea. And I say this as someone who used to clean up at the KTL awards and probably would be the odds-on favorite to win most weeks. We don't need to be trying to rate and award posts because this supposed to be about free and open discussion, not competion. This is supposed to be for the most part an intellectual environment, not ESPN's Around the Horn. We should be posting for the sake of knowledge and discussion, not accolades and awards.
Probably true. Yet if institutional control can be regressed into a common algorithm then it must be evaluated at the source rather than its application.
"Federal Reserve Directors: A Study of Corporate and Banking Influence
- Published 1983The J. Henry Schroder Banking Company chart encompasses the entire history of the twentieth century, embracing as it does the program (Belgium Relief Commission) which provisioned Germany from 1915-1918 and dissuaded Germany from seeking peace in 1916; financing Hitler in 1933 so as to make a Second World War possible; backing the Presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover ; and even at the present time, having two of its major executives of its subsidiary firm, Bechtel Corporation serving as Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration."
Malicious or incompetent?
Yea I realize this lol. Thats why i said a predefined criterion. If we could come to a consensus on which posts "count" then it could work. Otherwise I totally agree
That is just a description of a book. Cite some evidence for those claims. Also, Bechtel is not a subsidiary of the Federal Reserve.
Bechtel is a subsidiary of schroder banking which is significant in the bank of england and therefore significant to the fed. Look at the history of contracts bechtel has been awarded and somehow convince me that they dont stand to directly benefit from the fed or even worse, have influence over the fed. Ill wait.
While im waiting, ill look for actual numbers
Bechtel had been rescued in its time of need by J. Henry Schroder and Avery Rockefeller. John Lowery Simpson, vice president of J. Henry Schroder, was placed on Bethtel's board as chairman of its finance committee, in total charge of the company's financial arrangements. Huge government contracts followed this connection as naturally as night follows day.
The New York Times announced the debut of Schroder-Rockefeller on July 9, 1936, with Avery Rockefeller, son of Percy, and godson of William, allied in a new holding company. Avery's grandfather was James Stillman, who built the National City Bank to a giant concern. Avery Rockefeller held 42% of the stock in Schroder-Rockefeller;* Baron Bruno von Schroder of London and Baron Kurt von ScFtroder of Cologne (who was Hitler's personal banker) held 47%.On June 3, 1954, the New York Times announced that Stephen Bechtel, chmn of Bechtel Corp. had become partner of J.P. Morgan Co. In 1955, Fortune reported that as Under Secretary of State, C. Douglas Dillon had arranged important contracts for Bechtel with the Saudi Arabian government, culminating in the present $135 billion Jubail operation.Allen Dulles, director of the CIA, was also a director of Schroder Co. The vice president of Bechtel, Saudi Arabian operations, C. Stribling Snodgrass, also ran a CIA firm called LSG Associates. Bechtel built the 1100 mile long Trans Arabia Pipeline for $100 million, the largest contract let to that time. A worldwide construction firm, with entree to many countries, can also be a conduit for intelligence agents. In 1980, Bechtel was building apartments in Saudi Arabia, a hydropower complex in Quebec, a coal fueled power project in Utah, an oil refinery in Indonesia, a $500 million tourist resort in Malaysia, a copper and gold mine in Paint, New Guinea, and a $250 million palace for the Sultan of Brunei. It was an ideal operation for the CIA, even without the ubiquitous Schroder connections.

Coming from a guy with a Romney/Ryan avatar.
He's the better of two evils.

That's your opinion, but Romney is even more pro-establishment than the guy I'm voting for, and I definitely wouldn't put up an Obama avatar. So don't tell me I'm the best representative of the establishment here with your Romney avatar and your position of voting for Republicans no matter what while not even knowing the issues being voted on.
