this is a stretch and gives a bad reputation to people that believe conspiracy is prevalent in our country

if you don't believe it, most likely you are a malevolent reptile from outer space who is aiding their consolidation of the world's wealth and power.

Thats what pisses me off about conspiracies. There are some i believe, and alot i think are just plain batshit insane. when i speak out against them, i am the one that's working for the government/illumnati/aliens.

seriously, what kind of community support is that shit? makes me less likely to believe in a conspiracy i don't believe in, but maybe its just the go-to thing they say when they run out of answers/have no evidence. kind of like christians that say "god works in mysterious ways"

anyways, i know you are making fun of it, but figured i would rant. feels good, man.

i understand what your saying, but a bank (which sucks) is named bank of america.. that is not a conspiracy. its simple.. theres corruption and fraud inside of the company. but a corporation that is already outed as being a shitty corporate monger being NAMED bank of america. you're simply not opening peoples eyes.. you're throwing out desperate stretches. i promote open discussion of conspiracy and im obviously subscribed to this page in which i support. but yours was shitty.. give me a downvote.. but if you do.. i bet you're the government and doing it so ill never get heard!!

Seems to me like that divide comes from the fact that if you simply state you do not believe in a particular theory, the people that do will mob up and try to force it down your throats. i personally would just rather them to shut the hell up than try to force it down my throat.

there are on occasion people (like the guy who made this thread) that does not seem concerned about forcing things down peoples throats.

Also, people that have obviously done no research coming up with their theories (nibaru is a good example) they have taken almost no time to research the subject, except from what their friends told them. They will sit and deny cold, hard facts. those guys reeallly irritate me the most, and seem to be the most prevalent here in /r/conspiracy, sadly.

i dunno, look at the OPs name, guys! its right there in front of us the whole time! "trollkat" THEN added a "-y". im very suspicious of this...just voicing my concerns and trying to open some peoples eyes!....

Sorry bout that :p

CONSPIRACY

-jazz hands-

...i just wanted an excuse to do jazz hands

lol

I think it's a good theory.

Bank of America is a corporation not a federal institution. There is no federal banking institution in the USA. Any corporation has the single objective of making profits and usually disregard the people they serve whenever they can.

There is no federal banking institution in the USA.

What is the Federal Reserve and its various Federal Reserve Banks, then? Just asking.

The federal reserve is a regulated private entity with powers delegated from congress.

Not truly a government institution, not truly a private bank.

The federal reserve is a regulated private entity with powers delegated from congress.

Perhaps someone should tell them that, then.

I don't get it. He's pretty much describing what the Fed is. It's a very complex institution in terms of what powers and protections it has, which is the reason why I think there are so many conspiracies about what the Fed does or can do; the room for misconceptions and cherry-picking on the purpose of an organization of the size or flexibility of the Fed is huuuuuge.

You said "regulated". Greenspan said they answer to no one ... no one can overrule actions taken by the Fed. Period. And that is, sadly, the fact.

Or the name could be a vestige of the pride that immigrants felt when they came to America.

People use to LOVE America and everything about it including the name.

They still do. Every January... around Superbowl time.

It may be that you spend too much time in r/conspiracy. This is a small sub/redditt on a rather insignificant website. I love the ideals of America as I love the ideals of Christianity. I know enough to realize that the ideals mask a sinister history. Most people don't. Most people love the ideals and have no idea of the true history and reality.

Twice or three times a day, I browse through the garbage posted here and add a few comments.

The ideals have become the Orwellian doublespeak of the ruling class. I come here to remind people of that.

People loved America because, despite slavery and genocide, it proposed freedom and equality. Many Americans still love America because they are ignorant or miseducated. You are confused. You are using your present day recognition of American reality and attributing an evil or malicious intent to the name of the bank. You are also, in my opinion, way off the mark with regard to it being "the center of all financial crisis in America's working class". I think you might want to consider the Federal Reserve Bank the real culprit. It even has an intentionally deceptive name. Second place might go to Goldman.

Oh like the native Americans loved it before the settlers came in and introduced war and smallpox, is that when people loved America?

yeah, I'm sure that is exactly what he meant. Such as the fact that all immigrants struggle to come to America because they hate it and want a terrible life.

facepalm

Could be. But I seriously doubt it. There's no evidence to suggest that the game of high finance has ever held any such values.

They just kept the name every time they merged. It is called marketing.

They just kept the name every time they merged.

Checking the facts. It was originally the Bank of Italy in San Francisco.

It's no more "American" than the Federal Reserve is "Federal".

It was incorporated in America by Americans. What is your definition of American?

Didn't you just emphasize the difference between ideals and the sordid history behind them in a different comment?

What is your definition of American?

Again, this is a question loaded with distinction between ideals and historical (ugly) facts.

I just noticed your user ID.

You originally posted something about the name of a bank that did not make sense to me. The name is a vestige of a time when nationalism was fervent and not a means of covertly stating some nefarious intent. Through all its incarnations the name was kept because it works to the banks advantage. The failings of America or of banking or of this particular bank were not part of the naming process.

Get some 100% Indica and one of these.

Now you make sense.

Get some 100% Indica

Now you don't, for two reasons: 1) Indica is sleep-inducing, Sativa is what I'd prefer, and 2) I can't even afford US Government sprayed Mexican shwag, let alone 100% anything.

I was suggesting that you change your prescription and take it easy.

Really are a lot of dicks up in here today. So you don't believe her, cool - why try and be a smartarse about it?
