Not that I disagree with you, but I believe the white man purchased that land for some trinkets.

FWIW -
The "Indians" that sold Manhattan Island to the Dutch did not live there or own the place. This set a precedent for most future real estate dealing on this continent.

The Americas have no indigenous peoples. The people we call "Native Americans" or "Indians" were indigenous to Asia. They settled the Americas, just like the Europeans.

But don't tell the academic crowd this! Their feeling of moral superiority is what keeps them going.

Very serious question here.....

Would you call anybody who says fiat money, a fractional reserve banking system and a central bank a "ponzi scheme", a tin foil hat?

Yes or no?

No, I wouldn't call them a tin foil hat.

Fiat money and central banks are not a "ponzi scheme." Fractional reserve banking is, though. What does this have to do with the UN, indigenous peoples, etc. ?

They all tie in...the control of the ponzi scheme over a massive scale is consolidated by the central bank...

Either way...You've stepped out on limbs to support demand side economics and called all the Fed conspiracies a joke...

What I am getting at here, that the Fed has only been around 100 years, fractional reserve banking about 600 years or so and fiat money a couple thousand...

The mechanics of the Fed have been thoroughly dissected, shown time and again how it is a sham that concentrates wealth and seizes absolute power. etc. etc. all to which you claim rubbish...But, this stuff has been broken down to where even the layman can understand it's mechanisms!!

But you want to make an emphatic statement like "THERE WERE NO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN AMERICA..NATIVE AMERICANS WERE ASIANS"

THAT is PERFECT example of how science is becoming the new religion....because the "Siberian/Bering bridge, land mass, brick road etc etc" has not been proven and never will be. It's a revisionists tool.

My point? Don't prescribe junk.

I know I shouldn't bother entertaining the morons in this thread, but the Black Hills area of South Dakota is to the Lakota/Sioux tribe what Temple Mount is to Jews and Mecca is to Muslims (if both had a big, fat Christian cross mounted on top of both of them).
Assuming what you say is true, what are you intending to do with Mt. Rushmore?

Central banks and fiat currencies aren't necessarily ponzi schemes, we just run them that way in the United States. Like I said, fractional reserve banking is what causes the "ponzi" part, not simply the fiat currency or the central bank.

I don't know what you're talking about; you must have me confused with someone else.

This is emphatic.

This is not.

So what's your theory ? Are you suggesting that Native Americans are their own race or species, developed in the Americas, independently of Africans/Asians/Europeans ?

Back to the OP's topic.

I would give the Monument back to the Souix only if the paid for the "improvments".

Mt. Rushmore land should be returned to Native American tribes, UN official says | The Upshot - Yahoo! News

Italy needs to be returned to the Visigoths.
