Darth on Wall Street
youtube.com

Well, this looks about right. Although it doesn’t exactly represent the sort of image overhaul we’d recommend for Wall Street types given the past 15 months or so, this footage of Darth Vader and a supporting cast of stormtroopers ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday has a certain refreshing frankness about it, no?  —KA

They gloss over our accusations with smiles on their faces, knowing that they are invincible. They reinforce their sociopathic egos by laughing at us at private dinner parties. They ostentatiously flaunt their self perceived superiority without the slightest hint of shame. 

They are indeed invincible. They are the new Royalty. There will be no storming of the Bastille this time. In their reckless arrogance they will depose themselves, but we will be the ones who feel the blade of the guillotine.

Amen Liecatcher—That sham known as the Federal
Reserve is a burden on every American. The mystery is
why we allow it.

The short answer to the mystery is brainwashing.
Because of the word FEDERAL, & the fact that the
President appoints the FED governor, the public thinks it’s a government agency rather than a private criminal cartel owned & operated by banksters.

NEW WORLD ORDER”  BY BILL STILL

Wall Street Officially Joins the Dark Side
Posted on Dec 22, 2009

New York Stock Exchange…refreshing frankness about
it…HELL NO!

A better & more accurate title for this piece is:
WALL STREET REVELS IN ITS DARK SIDE, and has since
DECEMBER 23,1913, that day of infamy,
when
DEMOCRACY died with the passage of the FEDERAL
RESERVE ACT,signed by
WOODROW WILSON. This gave the private banksters the
power to create money
out of thin air and is the foundation for GOVERNMENT
SACHS and the
enslavement of AMERICA in a web of debt.
