Sub-prime Mortgage Buyers DID NOT Cause the Banking Crisis!

Nor did risky lending practices cause the potentially huge economic calamity we now face. These mere symptoms mask a much bigger problem, which the media, the politicians, and the bankers refuse to discuss at all. Our monetary system caused this crisis, a system needlessly based on legalized fraud for centuries.

Leading banker Justin Knight comes face to face with evidence that a secret conspiracy dating back more than a century at the highest circles of the banking system not only expected, but planned and intended the current financial crisis. It didn't occur accidentally, and it happened despite well-meaning efforts to prevent it. A recorded video of a secret meeting that comes into his possession leads directly to his daughter's kidnapping. The price for her return? The video and his silence! The situation places Justin on a collision course with a monumental decision. If he chooses to tell America what he knows, he might lose everything he holds most dear.

Novelist Walt Thiessen pulls back the curtain to unmask a centuries-old conspiracy in this fascinating tale.

And you thought bankers were boring!

Walt Thiessen is a writer and entrepreneur. Born in Niskayuna, NY in 1957, he grew up and attended public school in Schenectady, NY. Upon graduation from high school, he enrolled for one year at the State University of New York at Buffalo, transferring one year later to Colgate University, where he acquired his bachelors degree with one of the lowest GPAs in school history.

At 22 his personal and political philosophy changed from liberal to libertarian. His first job out of school was as a bank teller, but after more than five years in that industry, he shifted to a computer-based career, having taught himself how to use an Apple IIe. He evolved into a part-time entrepreneur, switching to his own business full-time in 2003. He has been married for the past 10 years to the former Louise Cohen, and the two live happily in Warrenton, VA.
