Product Description
The premise of Dishonest Money is simple: Very smart and powerful people have created a system of financial control. With it, they are robbing you of your wealth, freedom and future. The average citizen, never taught how the system works, cannot effectively fight it If the premise of Dishonest Money is simple, then its purpose is even simpler: Help the average citizen learn “the system” so they can protect their wealth, freedom, and future. ...Expose the thieves, and stop them. To achieve this purpose, Dishonest Money explains the following in simple / common language: The Federal Reserve System, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank; who created them and who benefits? Inflation, deflation, booms, busts, BAILOUTS, depressions and recessions; what are they, what causes them and who benefits? Honest money VS dishonest money: how are they different and who benefits? The CFR, the Trilateral Commission, the European Union, a North American Union, One-World government…who benefits? By the end of this short book, the reader will be familiar with these terms, will know “who benefits” and (more importantly) will know who pays…

I might be biased too February 7, 2009

My husband and I are lucky to know the author of this book. He happens to be my son. He began warning us to get my husband's retirement money out of the stock market in 2007 and by early 2008 he was no longer recommending that we do so, he was telling us to.
I read an early version of "Dishonest Money" and, trusting the information and warnings, convinced my husband to get his money out. But then our local banker, behind my back, talked my husband into putting the funds back in. This banker said that it was crazy to just leave "so much money sitting idle and earning nothing." To be safe, the banker put all of the money (about $55,000) into a "strong company that has been around forever and is solid as a rock."
By some miracle I found out that this had happened. I had a fit and, long story short, the money was taken back out. About two months later that "solid company" (AIG) evaporated. ...And with it would have gone nearly every penny of my husband's savings.
It is terrible that so many people lost everything because they didn't get the warning that my husband and I got. It is unbelievable that I lived for 60 years without ever understanding what a rotten and dishonest system these crooks have given us. Dishonest Money explains this "system" in terms anyone can understand. If enough of us understand it, we can demand something better. Most important, we can prevent them from ever doing this to us again.

I've been married to the author for over 10 years. If you're afraid this will automatically make my review biased, hold that thought for just a minute. It might make me biased toward him, but it certainly doesn't make me biased toward the topics covered in this book. What I've learned over the past 10 years is that my husband is deeply interested in things that I am not the least bit interested in. Another thing I'm sure of is that it is him, not me, who is odd. I've never met anyone so passionate about learning things that most people couldn't be paid to study.
The "monetary system" is a perfect example. The words themselves (monetary system) make me cringe. "Monetary system" sounds like something I was forced to learn about in college and something I'd forget as soon as possible. How often in normal conversation does somebody say those words? Not very often. But now, I finally know why this is more than a shame - it is dangerous. I finally understand my husband's intense frustration at trying to raise awareness about this and other topics that relate to it. ...I get it.
After reading "Dishonest Money" I feel empowered. I feel like I understand something I was never supposed to understand. I see how our country and the world was deceived into accepting the worst form of money that has ever existed and how this "dishonest money system" gives nearly absolute power to the criminals who created it. I'd recommend this book regardless of who wrote it - I don't believe I would have ever taken the time to "figure this stuff out" on my own. -Exactly how those who are exploiting us would have it.

"The who what when where why of the Federal Reserve Bank may be a hot topic today, but to many of us this is not a new topic. Many of us out here know that the system of money that we trust in this country has been crooked since the day it was introduced. We all want to believe that everything is nice and honest with flowers and candy for everyone, but the truth just happens to be that it is not. This can be a complicated subject. Joseph Plummer's book has to be the easiest read on this topic that you can find today. This book is the perfect place to begin if you are someone who still really thinks that The Federal Reserve Bank is "Federal" or that it has any monetary "Reserves"... If you are a bank employee you definitely should read this book. If you read this book and don't agree with its contents, then you need to study further and try to prove it wrong. It can't be done."

Most books on this subject are either riddled with conspiracy theory or ultra dry text book economics. This book is far from either and at readable 200 pages,it's a great travel book . The author does an accurate,concise job of explaining the fraud of the (non govermental) "Federal Reserve" and the corruption it spawns. It also delves into the power elite,exposing how they operate and what their goals maybe.
the book continues on from works of Anthony Sutton and G.Edward Griffin.
the only draw back of the book is it was not available 2 years ago which may have saved more then a few 401Ks :(

I've been learning more and more about the Fed in recent months, but nowhere have I found an easier read than Joseph Plummer's book.
I've always had a hard time with the math of economics. And now I know that's by design. They want it to be so complex that the average man-in-the-street won't be able to figure it out. And when we switch channels or drink our third beer, these "elite" bankers and politicians do what ever they want - RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES.
With Joe's book I actually understood the "math". Now I clearly see the mechanics behind the system and how devious it is.
This book is a must for everyone. But especially for those who've never been able to figure it all out. Even after reading other books about it.
Thanks Joe.
