For those people that don't already know....here's how the Great Crash happened:
Plenty of money was made available. With lots of this money floating around, people bought stocks - the roaring 20's were a time of great prosperity after World War 1. The Stocks that everyone bought, however, were issued as "24 hour call loans", which meant that the money had to be repaid in 24 hours if it was ever "called" for.
So the New York financiers started "calling in" all their loans at once. Stockbrokers and customers had to dump their stocks to pay their loans. The Stock Market collapsed, which caused a banking catastrophe. All the banks that were not "part" of the cabal also had to pay their "call claims", which exhausted their money supplies and caused them to go under. Only the small investors, not the "insiders", were destroyed.
Paul Warburg, who founded the Federal Reserve, tipped off all of the money barons (J. D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Joe Kennedy, ect.) before the collapse occured. All of these men got out of the market before it crashed - selling their stocks while the prices were still high. Then, when the market collapsed and all of the stocks were at rock bottom prices because everyone was broke, they strolled in and bought all of them. This was when their REAL POWER began.
Just as a little side note, Joe Kennedy's fortune went from $4 million in 1929 to $100 million in 1935!
So while many people were standing in line waiting for soup to stay alive...these people were laughing all of the way to the bank.
