It is hopeful to hear the nation is not completely populated with creatures from “The Night of the Living Dead,” you know, those mortgage and investment banksters in NYC and their satellite operations from Dallas to San Diego.

Indeed, justice should extend far past the hands-on bandits with the smoking pistols in their hands. It must include the bank guards who looked the other way and those who sheltered them after they fled the scene of the crime.

I truly believe it is a subcortical and righteous need. Good God almighty, do they really expect to get away with this? When I study the expression on Tim Geithner’s innocent face, he looks worried. He looks scared. Why? He is fully aware of the awesome acting job he has. He has the impossible task of convincing millions of people who are slowly realizing what has happened. Those like Summers, Blankfein and those lucky fellows at Goldman Sachs chose the right face to speak to America and plead their case. Perfect casting, don’t you think?

“Little Timmy” was chosen by central casting, just like sweet Bobby Gibbs, the non offensive press secretary. Steven Spielberg once revealed in an interview much of his success he attributed to his special talent for choose the right children for his films. His deep understanding of the camera and his ability to visualize the affect on the right audiences is the core of his “genius.”

With Rahm Emanuel directing the never-ending campaign, President Obama continues to carry out the master plan.

There are no accidents. Everything is going to plan, just fine.

It is critical the hired hands speak gently even sing their soothing songs when it is dark. Otherwise, the cattle might stampede before they are driven to the slaughterhouse.

Don’t worry, take it easy, and get along little dogies.

REF: Night-Gaunt

My late uncle Woody was a wise man, a man of few words. He was one of those “dust bowl Okies” who went to Calif. with the family in a caravan of model a’s. He was a training sargent in WW2 and, a skilled machinist and a 33rd degree Mason.

He only lectured me a few times during the years I lived with him and my aunt. One lecture was on “never under estimate” the other man. I had decided to try out for the high school football team and I took the lesson as strictly about tackling, blocking and such. Eventually, I came to understand that it meant so much more. Practically everything he ever said had universal application, I now realize.

Night-Gaunt, you are so right about the importance of not underestimating these “morans,” it is so true that the “morans” have been silently taking control for decades.

They quietly took over the schools, the media and the minds of the young. We now find ourselves adrift at sea and with little idea of the direction back to dry land. Many are showing signs of panic, depression but most continue to follow that vague, deceptive slogan - Change that you can believe in.

The central figures call for confidence, hope and change we can believe in. Damn the hard facts, the indices of hard numbers, fundamental economics and numbers. The central players in the collosal scam completely rely on your confidence, hope and faith in their message.

Uncle Woody warned me of underestimating the challenge ahead, it applies to blocking and tackling and world economics and politics, too.

A curious rant Abagail but where does the Bill of Rights, a Republic and a Constitution square with your celestial kingdom? You won’t find any of those in any version of the Bible I am aware of. Just a theocracy of one immortal all seeing dictator. Not something we need here or anywhere on the earth. [The fact that there is a small group of oligarchs here want one is of similar import.]

It must be fun calling such intelligent and devious people “morons” but it might get you to underestimate them which is the classic mistake of the amateur. Something they and I (if I were one of them) would cultivate among my enemies. So don’t fall into that trap of the mind.

Rockefeller and company (many rich families and corporations) have given us this economic disaster , which is far from over, in order to overthrow our republic to replace it with a theocratic corporate state. So far these “morons” are winning.

Yes like the old warning I think Franklin said about if we don’t work together they would all hang separately. Such a problem, very similar, looms before us but it is from within. Madison, warned of such and how right he was, that brainiac.

The revolution is here, under our nose, silent but deadly. Can we mount a counter revolution in time? Do we even have a chance or know where and who all the heads are? Do we still have patriots in the various branches of gov’t and military? Is there still a chance? Or is it too late and the worse is yet to come? Will we be lucky if we die before the empire is born? Do we want to have all those answers?

Yes Hawkeye if you would have read my very first post here you would have seen it. Despite your anger and invective at me I agree with you on your assessment of our culture and how much of it we have lost to the corporate interests. That and as our Republic is gutted from within by those inside forces that want to bring it down so that they may build their very own theocratic corporate dictatorship and empire on top of its ruins very soon. How soon is unknown.

Timothy Geithner is just one of the serious symptoms we are shown by the cabal as it works like a tumor to take over and supplant the host. Like a metastacizing cancer, malignant cells of fascism spread about the body politic.

Before calling someone else a ‘troll’ after just breezing in here not commenting on the subject matter just because I didn’t agree with your new friend Dwight. Don’t act trollish your self to me as you do, please. Thank you. I will speak no more of it after this.

As for coming together, well my friend, I am reminded of one of the original patriots who said either we hang together or we will hang one at a time.

Guess it was a bit easier to unite, face to face, way back then in New England. Only if each state and city can rely on local leaders and lawmen to unite, will there be any coming together. The public school social scientists have beaten the church out of all the young. The young identify with Sponge Bob, Hollywood trash and drugs. No, we have lost that round.

Why Hawkeye what you say about InheritTheWind you say about me and the few others like myself. Yes something is missing.

Great post! We must be cousins. Still, they refuse to understand. What is it gonna take?

They have eyes but do not see.
They have ears but do not hear.
They have arze but remain constipated with popular dogma.

This is why I insist that the root of all the corruption was made possible by those who control mainstream media. Propaganda and deceptive myths and even omissions from the “official” news works. Do a search on Joseph Goebbels and learn how much he contributed to “truth” and civilization.

The fact is, if you compare the mug shots of Joseph Goebbels and Larry King, the resemblence is uncanny. Pure natural ability to gain the confidence of others.

Those who have extraordinary, unnatural cravings for wealth and power must be watched very carefully. They are prone to go too far, as in the current mortgage banking swindle, best bank robber, ever. Or, simply call it The Crime of the Century.

What CITIES are printing their own money? And as far as rich JEWS goes I didn’t invent that or create that nor was I around when they sold out their own people to HITLER or have you forgotten that in history? They did all that not me.——If you read then read about the Bilderbergs. And you better be concerned where you fate will end up some day if the Bilderbergs are allowed to do to the US what they have done all over the world.  I am not anti-Semite for I am one too. My roots go back to Abraham just like yours I suppose. And as far as being a cheerleader you flunk on that one too.

Sorry to burst you bubble Dwight but I don’t follow that “Moses” business of yours. A cheerleader perhaps is my function. As for you, you’re the one with the “fire in his eyes” but for me you are a fire on my butt and just as annoying in you verbal flummery. However, you may be the wannabe in this case. Now as to the thread itself? Anything from that vast vacuum you use for an information well? Try to keep up!

You do seem to follow the White Christian supremacist crowd on blaming the rich Jews for the worlds ills don’t you? I see problems with families owning much and manipulation of more but their religion is of no import to me. It is what they do. If indeed the Warburgs and Bushes and Sachs among others are holding us in yokes then that needs to be ended.

Some cities are now printing their own money that stays in the city and that is so far not being prosecuted by Treasury. Good for them I am behind them on that to keep the money, people and businesses in their localities. Personally I am a confederalist where it concerns gov’t. On the Swiss model and here from 1776-1789.

Gods Chosen people the JEWS are now on both sides of the fence.  Both are JEWS by birth and maybe some even stay up with the rituals and some of the cultures of Judaism.  But who practices the Laws of Moses today?  The aristocracy of the Temple Worship is gone, the elite Sadducees if still around have gone underground.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadducees

The Pharisees may still exist to a degree. But certainly not using that name to identify what they do and who they are.

The growth of the Jewish people began to grow and expand after settling in the land of Israel—- King David taxed the commerce and trade routes that enriched his kingdom. Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem the aristocracy of the group Sadducees took over the priesthood of running the Temple.  That included many enrichments for them at a time when the majority of Jewish folks were still peasants.

When I was in Israel I walked through the homes of some of the Sadducees who lived just west of the Temple Mount.  They were lavish beyond measure having baths spas or ritual emersion baths in many rooms that was decorated with rich frescos and tile. Most of the most were more than 3,000 sq. ft. 

The Sadducees were closely entwined with the Roman Leaders that occupied Israel and bribery then was the order of the day as is today.  The Sadducees were guilty of not following the Laws of Moses but simply using those Laws to benefit them and their kin ONLY.  Thus it has become clear to me today that the old order of Sadducees has been resurrected by the Bilderbergs to take over once again and put all back into servitude to them. And the fact that David Koch Jewish wants to use select Laws Moses to rule the world for his benefit now makes sense.  And in the foundation of the Bilderbergs many Jewish names appear.  Some of the Bankers in Germany that were Jewish at the time of the Holocaust looked the other way as their kin were carted of to the gas chambers.  WHY they made a lavish fortune supporting Hitler agendas.

Now on the other side of Judaism during the time of our Lord were the Pharisees they believed in an afterlife and were the leaders in the synagogues that were sprinkled all around.  The Rabbis were the functional head of the synagogue that was a town hall meeting place, learning and place for study and prayer and the Rabbis were baby sitters for the women that worked.  Thus public education began for the Jews in the synagogue.  The Pharisees Rabbis wore the clothing prescribed by the Moses laws, while the Sadducees wore silks and fine lien to prove in adornment they were more than the common man.

Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for their profanity of the Temple worship for the Sadducees had turned that event of worship and cleansing for their Jewish folk from all over the inhabited world into a time to make profit.  The Sadducees did not believe in an after life when judgment by God of their transgressions would come.  The Sadducees could not kill Jesus because of the Law of Moses forbade.  But they again using their elites appealed to the Roman government to do so and it was done.  The Sadducees saw their con coming to and end and they took all the right steps to eliminate the voice that held them in derision and disdain for their open robbery of the people.

As most of us know today some of the most vocal good and morally sound voices that have been raised up against tyranny are those from Jewish ancestors, thus a good question is who are those from the mindset of the Pharisees?  I can name long list can you? 

And are those that are from Jewish ancestors that want to rape the world and bring about slavery to all of mankind from the mindset of the Sadducees?

Your 50 regions is a good starting point for “change.” Everybody wants change but they never suggest anything that is specific. It is the same way when panning for gold or developing, for instance, an advertising campaign.

You address the unspeakable notion that birds of a feather really do flock together. Too much propaganda from mainstream media and social engineers designing the education system might be the cause of this road block. For instance, artists and writers tend to migrate to Paris or, say, Greenwich Village in New York City. Gypsy carnivals attrack kindred spirits and so on.

Well Dwight I haven’t been aware of any violent movements in the pagan community or the Druids but I hardly have my ear to the ground these days. I guess if it exists it’s just like the violent element in other faiths, the young souls lusting for excitement and approval, the mature to be heard and recognized as important and, most of all, to get done what they KNOW the world needs.

Historically it is the christian suppression of the nature-oriented faiths of whatever area they are taking over, since that’s just how they rock.

My impression is that at this time the Druids are a scholarly group, mostly focused on recovering the lost wisdom of the pre-roman celtic world and giving back to our Mother the reverence and love all her children owe.

The core points of druidic doctrine known to us from Roman sources is their belief in metempsychosis, and their practice of human sacrifice.

Alexander Cornelius Polyhistor referred to the Druids as philosophers and called their doctrine of the immortality of the soul and reincarnation or metempsychosis “Pythagorean”:

“The Pythagorean doctrine prevails among the Gauls’ teaching that the souls of men are immortal, and that after a fixed number of years they will enter into another body.”
“The principal point of their doctrine”, says Caesar, “is that the soul does not die and that after death it passes from one body into another” (see metempsychosis). Caesar wrote:

Good post, great links.  I think you’re absolutely correct.  We need to put measures in place which will protect our representatives and in turn ourselves.  And this would be a start, its not a cure all, but it would be a start.  There is much to do.

It’s not enough simply to put the fire out, now the house needs repair and some sections may need to be completely rebuilt.

I also think we need to change course “in our heads”, from “Yes We Can” to “Yes We Will”. (Sorry…. couldn’t contain myself)  Still…. it really is true…. NOT, we maybe sorta kinda can do something about it…. but WE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, all of us…. as Americans, will take our country back.

To do that, we need to retake control of our money.  The libertarians (although others have stated this as well, the “libs” have been most outspoken regarding it) are correct in this regard, because otherwise we will be forever beholden to this oligarchy.  Now…. exactly HOW do that is complex, but not impossible.

Top Senate Democrat: Bankers ‘Own’ the US Congress
by Glenn Greenwald

“Sen. Dick Durbin, on a local Chicago radio station this week, blurted out an obvious truth about Congress that, despite being blindingly obvious, is rarely spoken:  “And the banks—hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created—are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place.”  The blunt acknowledgment that the same banks that caused the financial crisis “own” the U.S. Congress—according to one of that institution’s most powerful members—demonstrates just how extreme this institutional corruption is.”

Dems on the “credit card reform bill” (weak as the queen’s horsepiss tea)

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/business/22consumer.html

Senate Democrats, hoping to resolve the impasse, have opened negotiations in recent days, but not with their Republican counterparts. Instead, in an effort to divide the industry, the Democrats, led by Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Charles E. Schumer of New York and Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, have been in talks with Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, along with a group of credit unions. The lawmakers’ hope is that those institutions would exert pressure on Republican lawmakers and reluctant Democratic moderates.

Even if those negotiations are successful, the Democratic lawmakers are still likely to water down the bankruptcy bill further in the industry’s favor…..

Sen Durbin (with others) has introduced the Fair Elections Bill, along with several other bills , limiting the banking industry, now that I look at his site—-worth checking out. ,,,

http://durbin.senate.gov/showRelease.cfm?releaseId=310864

I dont sees any reps of “The People” there meeting with “The Peoples’ Party of Democratic Capitulation”.

Sen Bernie Sanders had a better version, which, of course, never made it to the floor…sigh. Still, even Sanders bill only limited rates to 15%. Todays bill,does none of that…
http://paeditorsblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/sen-bernie-sanders-introduces-bill-to.html

If you already have a huge credit card debt, it will do NOTHING for you…still, a few GOP fought it tooth and nail anyhow, and Dems watered it down…

“Americans would be shocked if they knew how much time Members of Congress and candidates seeking office must spend dialing for dollars and attending fundraisers. Without a fundamental reform of the way we finance campaigns, we cannot bring real reform to Capitol Hill,” Durbin said. “Our bipartisan bill will give candidates the opportunity to focus on dealing with our nation’s problems and not chasing after campaign cash.”

This would be a start…

Let’s not jump to conclusions, here!  Maybe Geithner “supped most often in the top-echelon dining room of some bank or at the home of one of the financial moguls who created the mess that has now bankrupted billions throughout the world” because they thought he was sexy. How else to explain that Tinseltown Timmy has received an award more persitigious in dissolute America than a Nobel Prize: he’s received the ultimate accolade, being named to another far more exalted inner circle than that of the ‘financial moguls’. He’s been selected for inclusion in the list of ‘50 Most Beautiful People’ by that impeccable arbiter of American good taste, People Magazine. And it’s widely rumored that the fact that his brother is an executive VP of the sleazy publication had absolutely nothing to do with his entirely meritorious selection for this coveted honor. But in philistine America, it’s now likely that the buzz among the little people in the grocery stores and hair salons will be more about Geithner the celebrities’ consort than Geithner the crooks’ crony. So cute little Timmy can go right on bending over in the “top echelon dining rooms” for the pleasure of his “financial mogul” johns - and political pimp Obama can go right on doing to the rest of the country what Barney Frank would probably like to be doing to glammer guy Geithner.

The bank bailouts - started under Bush & Co - are wrongheaded. The bondholders of the banks have somehow convinced the political establishment - on both the left and the right - that they should be “bailed out”. The banks DID and DO need more capital, but they should get it by restructuring their debt and thus make their bondholders take a severe loss. When you provide financing to an entity that turns out to be far riskier than you thought and as a result, they lose money, then you made a bad investment and you too should lose money. Why has this risk been transferred to the government?  Because the political establishment wanted it this way and so it is so. 

In voting for Obama I thought “change” meant new politics, new people, unconventional approaches, unbeholden to the “mainstream” of politics; it did not, the establishment is still in control, just a slightly more left version of the last group.

I see no other way to beat them but at their own game. And we can only do that in DC. With lawyers for snoops for the pros in Law to direct the many laws that need to be written and repealed. The system right now is a no win for us in all directions. I have three good sons, 9 grandkids and a belly full of fire. Got to get going and soon to bring an end to this insanity. Hell I have no idea how long I can last at this pace but I will keep going long as I can. I know this as bad as it is here we still got the best pool table in the world. And there is far more of us than them and we are 3 to 5 million strong now and the entire world wants us to win. Not for just our sake but for theirs too. But all of this is just like raising a family it is little by little and when my middle son nearly got killed it was little by little every day until he got back on his feet.  But we cannot give up or give in for if we do we will prove that we do not have the will to rule ourselves.

I comment on Care 2 and many folks from all over the earth are joining in. WHY because they know what is happening is not good for anyone.  And few that Post on Care 2 are cynics but they have not a clue what the real enemy is. And you folks do.  So please forgive me for being so bold to come back with some but that is the only way sometimes to get a clean slate. Or as some say today a TIME OUT, so read the below and I would love to send you or any one our business plan I trust everyone.  Besides nothing is in it for me. Kim Webb want to stay involved at some capacity and she like me has worked tirelessly but for me who knows or even cares? All my work I do for the Lord and that is that. And help saving this great nation HE wants that done but with a new direction for Democracies to take.

WHO NEEDS HOPE?

All have read and seen the real problem. Not enough of us in DC to have a real VOICE any longer. The population of the USA when the Constitution was written then voted on was about 5 million now we are 325 million. Now for the 325 million of us we have about 700 elitist career politicians that run our county.

What we propose with the WTPA We the Peoples Advocates is to have 50 regions around the USA with each having as many districts needed to represent the will of the people. IE: New York city/state as one region might have 3000 districts or more Miami city/but state of Florida might have 200 districts.  The amount of districts is equal to the populations—-we have calculated that the totals in each district should stay small so that all who have their VOICE heard and VOTES counted on each issue or matter tabled for discussion as in each districts needs, wants, wishes be forwarded to Washington DC to our Statesmen in Constitutional law to direct our 60 to 100 or more lawyers to write the laws we need the power push them along to our CONGRESS, SENATE to be passed.

AFTER YOU SEE THE NEED BEING MET BY THE WTPA———-JOIN IN and ENLIST to serve with your VOICES being heard and your VOTES counted and moved along to our lobby group in Washington DC to be power pushed with the peoples needs, wants and wishes in our cities, states and Federal Governments.

DWIGHT—I tried “working within the Dem party” for many years…then, I left, and became a Socialist…i actually came back to vote for Clinton (boy, how stupid did I have to be!) and, then for Gore, because my brother in law went to Yale with Dubby and I knew what an ass he would be…but never again…I want to spend my time working on something that can actually help the uS…

I, similarly spent many years trying to work within the “health care system”, trying to “reform it from within”—-that didnt work either…sometimes, it is just too late…I have nothing, really, PERSONALLY against Pres.Obama—I am just tired of trying to “reform” a broken duopoly as people die in the streets…

KDelphi, April 30 at 12:51 pm

YES YOU ARE RIGHT BUT WHAT NOW——

FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER OR FLIGHT WITH EACH OTHER

OR TRY TO GET A PLAN TO WORK ON JOINTLY?

Pres Obama, when drawing up a credit card bill, meets with bankers…when he draws up TARP Funding, he meets with Wall St. He HIRES Wall St…when he wants heatlh “
insurance” reform, he meets with the insurance industry…

Please tell me, Dems, why you were up in arms when Bush formulated his energy policy around oil executives,, but, Obama hiring Wall St and the health insurance indutrsy is just fine…

After observing Obama’s Clinton retread appointments, Obama was asked, “Where’s the change” to which he responded that it was He, Himself, who acted as the vessel through which change flowed.
  Sounds like the world according to Bush.
  For those who are wondering why he has surrounded himself with Wall St crooks and NeoCon warmongers—his response is, in order to get out of the mess we need to listen to the ones who created it—since they are the ones most familiar with the crime.
  Sounds like the world according to Bush.
The difference between Bush and Obama:
  Bush: “The United States does not torture”
  Obama: (Long exasperated sigh and when pressed)“Waterboarding is torture”...mentioned in tiny little letters and quickly dismissed with: Can we please get passed this and move along, nothing to see here, move forward..let’s ignore this (and next I will send out all my aids and advisors to press for covering up the foul, bloody reeking mess, with a skip-along happy days ahead sing-along harmony.

Yes, it did make a difference.  Check out this story:

“A Spanish judge on Wednesday opened an investigation into an alleged “systematic programme” of torture at the US Guantanamo Bay detention camp, following accusations by four former prisoners.

This points to “the possible existence of concerted actions by the US administration for the execution of a multitude of crimes of torture against persons deprived of their freedom in Guantanamo and other prisons including that of Bagram” in Afghanistan.”

He is NOT BushIII, from Rueters:

“WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday approved an expansion of federal “hate crime” laws—an effort that former Republican President George W. Bush had opposed.

.....“I urge members on both sides of the aisle to act on this important civil rights issue by passing this legislation to protect all of our citizens from violent acts of intolerance,” Obama said in a statement before the vote.”

Piling money on Wall St. and the banksters while
refusing to help the auto industry and help save tens of thousand of jobs is disgusting.  The auto industry problems stems from Wall St. shenanigans and the resulting economic crisis.  He did almost nothing to help the common folks save their homes.
Obama is Bush III , he is big business/moneny servant and another war monger. That it is the fact and calling him this or calling him that will not change that fact.

Mr Scheer,
I have been progressively (remember that concept?) more frustrated by the self-righteous nitpickings of the supposed liberal bloggers.
Give us all a break and realize the Democrats won the election…and guess what…you weren’t elected!
Shocking, to be sure.
How about a little support for the general tenor of the new administration instead of putting on your green eyeshade and auditing Obama with the doggedness of the loyal (lol) opposition.
You’ll probably have lunch with Boehner before Timmy G snacks with a poor person.
Don’t pull one of those lame defections (read “Horowitz”...if I spelled it right) because you don’t get all you want.
Grow the heck up!

RE: ...we should OUST Summers and Geithner.

As if “we” could oust anybody - If “we” could really do anything, I’d opt for shutting down the Global War Of Terror, which the Obama team seems intent on expanding - at the rate it’s going, should snuff another 50K this year and with all the DU being spread around, it’s starting to look downright Malthusian…maybe a better handle for the POTUS.

Re: blogdog

Your comment: “That’s the beauty of it - LEFT COVER”

That is not “cover”, these are the facts.  Obama HAS done these things.  I’m certainly not enamored with what’s going on with the bank bailout especially the choice of Geithner and Summers.

To claim he is fascist by reversing fascist measures or endorsing policy which conflicts with fascism, is ridiculous.  Whatever it is, it isn’t fascism.  There are/were fascist premises ALREADY in place when Obama took office, some of these he has addressed.  There is much to do.  For starters we should OUST Summers and Geithner.  Next, the War Crimes should be investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice.

WORD just came back today from HOBO MOE AND INDIAN JOE sent on the bounty hunter mission to find all that supposed missing cash from the big banks vaults.

They had this to say. “Hey boys in CONGRESS you wasted our time——- thar ain”t no cash a missing that is REAL ——we found some funny goings ons on their books and stuff but no real cash a missing.  Somebody big must have tolt yall some lies?”

So MOE and JOE being bounty hunters for nigh on 50 years Said “ You boys in CONGRESS wasted our time doing bounty hunting our only job and we need some bucks to help us get back on our feet again for all this wasted time. We thought you didn’t know nuttun when you gave us this har JOB and in that WORK we were called stupid “Os” that we AIN’T and taking insults right and left we are dun with your type—-so FEDEX us a check for $300.00 to cover our expense.

Re: bluelori

Your comment: “Great article obama is a fascist”

Obama is not a fascist.  If you seriouly believe this you have no idea WHAT a fascist is, endorses or believes.

If Obama were a fascist, would he have signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act?  Would he have signed the Omnibus Land Act?  Would he have ordered the closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility?  Would he have ended illegal torture practices?  Would he have signed legislation to expand healthcare for children?  Would he have ordered that all federal agencies suspend enforcement of “midnight executive orders” pending review?  Would he have released the “torture” memos?

Obama is NOT a fascist.  All of these measures are in direct conflict with fascist philosophies, ideologies and actualities.

Thank you , Schear…as long as Wall St is running the govt, there will be no justice. Some are so afraid of really changing anyrthing, that they feel that they must defend Pres. Obama. He is rapidly indefensible.

As long as the middle class is still reasonably comfortable, nothing will change…

There were/are plenty of alternatives to what Geithner, Summers and Obama are proposing,(lets stick them in there together, from now on, ok? Obama chose them..) and, they have been discussed by posters here many times…

DWIGHT—good post. No biblical verse…thanks.

Night Guant—yes and Pres. Obama has promised to deliver on CAFTA, and the Panamanian FTA, impoverishing more in all countries involved. Oh, yes, Geithner and Obamas’s stock points will go up a little…I am not going to separate Pres. Obama s’ actions, and those of people whom he CHOSE anymore—no one else should, either. He is ultimately responsible.

Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Ever include opposing opinions in your wanna be “elite” media cabals?”  Ah, yeah, . I look and there you are again. There are just GOBS of neo-conservative sites. This is what one would call a moderate site. If you want some true liberal or pgoressive or socialist sites, I can give you some. Watch your blood pressure.

RdV—Yep. Pres. Obama is not Bush, and that is about all they have left.

“He still wants to give more money to Citigroup, which has just been found woefully short of cash by Treasury’s auditors, and has not stopped Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac…...”

Ah hello!!!  If these banks didn’t pass those “stress tests” that they were given, why are they getting more money!?  What happened to bailing out the people, firing the “too big failures” along with Geithner & Summers - now that’s the change we really need!!!!

http://www.businessinsider.com/were-too-corrupt-to-fix-the-financial-system-2009-4

Did Bernanke Paulson commit banking fraud

http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/commentary-mainmenu-43/1054

Left wing…right wing…...bailouts… bankers….federal reserve…fire geithner….hire summner…bonuses…caps.

Until and unless the “government of the people, by the people and for the people” gets to enact legislation that is quite specific as to what “the speed limits” of Wall Street and the Bankers are…we are going to have “bubbles” and unlimited law breakers.

It should not be an impossible dream/task. already in the US close to 200 million Americans observe the 70 mph on the interstate.

Great article obama is a fascist who works for the banks had the media vetted him prior to crowning him the messiah they would have known that!  He voted for the banks on the bankruptcy bill too…

GOSH YOU TOOK OFF FROM THE OTHER SITE AND OLE TRUEDIGGER COME AROUND—-WHY did you leave? Did you get tired of ole LEEFELLER and ME?

Yes the sooner the glamour of Obama dissipates the sooner we can all see him the way I do. Just a prettier version of the Dominionist cabal who want to bring down the republic and build their empire of God in its place.

Remember Clinton and how he facilitated NAFTA, GATT, WTO and the elimination of Glass-Stegall? Our friend? No only a wolf in sheep’s clothing but a very good agent for the enemies of our state. [Certainly keeping Wall St. alive and the banksters in business is bad for most of us.] Both his and Obama’s along with the rest of them in either party have other agendas. Even if they may not know all of it themselves. Greed can blind one to other things.

Re: Jason!!

Your comment: “You run a far left wing extremist blog and surround yourself with those who hate.”

AND:
“Hate conservatives, hate christians, hate jews, hate anyone that does not support your extremist position.”

“Far left wing”, LOL.  Been listening to Bill O’Really lately, have ya’?

From Crooks and Liars:

“Nonetheless, it’s enough for O’Reilly to call the cartoon an “atrocity” and “garbage” and accuse the Times of “pushing a hateful, far-left agenda,” while the heads of the Times, NBC, and other “far left” outfits are “doing an enormous amount of damage to this country” and are “haters.”

[Note to Karl: You’re not from Texas, at least the way most Texans I know define being “from Texas”. You’re from Utah by way of Nevada. Big diff. But the tough-guy talk is duly noted, anyway. We’re convinced. Really.]”

Jason!!, April 29 at 11:24 am

Could you be talking about those that POST THE MOST?

Gosh I thought I was there only target, did that bunch try to offend YOU TOO?

Jason!!‘s version of hate would be anyone who isn’t in lock step with zionist Christian conservatives. Sort of like those who charged intolerance towards those who were opposed to intolerance.

From the Robert Scheer bubble…

Ever include opposing opinions in your wanna be “elite” media cabals?

Look in the mirror pal. You run a far left wing extremist blog and surround yourself with those who hate. Hate conservatives, hate christians, hate jews, hate anyone that does not support your extremist position.

So where do you get off by trying to point fingers at Obama when you are in the same boat?

Mee thinks you just mad he turned you down for a cabinet position and then, ambassador. Any other political positions you sought and were turned down for?

Because Bush was so deeply unpopular after 8 years, Obama is given wide latitude simply because he is not Bush. For now he is viewed seperately from his unpopular policies and appointments—but that can’t be sustained. The sooner, the better.

I wouldn’t waste my time writing an E-mail. It is futile.
Obama is a fraud who deceived everybody with his
blackness, toothpaste smile and good oratory.
Wall St. and the banksters selected him and financed
and worked for his election. He is their man and he
will do anything they ask for.
During the election campaign, many warned of his
duplicity and bullshitting and were savaged by
the so called progressives.
“Where is the socially conscious Obama?” Ha Ha, what
a funny question. It is like asking for your money
back from a con artist after he spent it.!!

Timothy Geithner is a child prodigy that was groomed by father and grandfather to do what he is doing today expanding the Ford Foundation and their cronies’ goals. He spent much of childhood in Africa where his influential parents and grandparents had deep roots into that political culture.

Larry Summers tutored him for years. And the lunch dates certainly proves that his prodigy and pundit status jumped started his political carrier. 

But does that long connectivity with the Ford Foundation and their partners and views on how the world should be run cast a serious doubt and concern who he really works for?  It does for many.

And Geithner heading up our treasury has proved to have consequences that we cannot bare. His stated goals and aspirations for us are out of step with most others.  His personal appearances raises doubts to how he stands on the issues, that again has lead many of us to have concerns about him knowing all the game plans each step of the way.  And that leads us to consider who does he serve, those of us the offended or those that committed the offenses.  Thus the record is clear that he jumps to and serves the wills and mandates of the offenders. 

And should this entire banking crisis be a PONZI scheme as many have said, and if Geithner job is to disguise that so his benefactors can go undiscovered to that end we would be foolish to not raise a red flag every day until he is replaced.  For at the end of the day we have Geithner representing the Ford Foundation and all their associates on one hand and two Larry Summers on the other?

Entrepreneurs are needed to restructure our government not political pundits and puppets doing what they a told behind closed doors.

These bailout are just the last phase of rob the taxpayer and give to the pirates

I like this piece because it sheds real light on some of the unsavory members of Obama’s Cabinet.  The working men and women who have incomes less then $150,000.00 per year need assistance.  Those above that line need to work a little harder for the money they get their hands on and people like Geithner need their suggestions scrutinized before they are pushed through Congress.

Having been duped by the Clintons Twice in the ‘90’s- the Reunion of Geithner & Summers does cause me pause.
Seems Summers is far less interested in resolving this mess, than burying his own shit in the kitty litter box called TARP.Perhaps he figures his age will assure he never sees prison time for the Clear Economic Treason he and his cronies committed (starting with Greenspan)
Geithner, I think sees the noose outside his office window. Perhaps it’s because of his age I give him this benefit of the doubt, He’s gonna live a long time- so retribution through proscution looms larger. He screws this Up and even Obama won’t be able to save his ass from the lynch mob.
The reality is that this Treasonous ‘Trickle Down’ has become so ingrained in our financial system- the Sadistic Culture of Greed- that it is so widespread and imbedded, We ahve little choice at this point than to try to delicately exorcise it. One false move, misstep and the entire systme collapses.The extent of this ‘Grip’ is not jus ton our nations ‘Balls’ but on our very Heart- along with other nations around the World.
In essences WE have become too big to fail. Our rise to a superpower made US the heart of the World economy, other nations not only thrive off our conspicuous consumption, But survive off our Generosity and Protection. This economic meltdown is nto merely about US and our Middle Class- but the entire global community.
And perhaps that is the Key to reining in these Corp Raiders.It’s one thing to be concerned about Prosecution through the US legal system, another to potentially face prosecution and punishment under a Foreign legal system. Consider China’s method of Justice when their Export Minister screwed up their reputation and revenue by allowing tainted products to be shipped out. That was the epitome of ‘Swift Justice’
Lets be honest the end result of these Financial Wizards was Economic treason, resulting in human suffering here & around the world, thus a crime against humanity. Instead of threatening these CEO’s with prosecutions under say RICO, we let them know their crimes will be considered International, thus subject to not only international laws and courts- but those particular Countries they have effected. Just as much as War crimes (torture, Rendition,black sites and Hit lists) have international implications, so does this economic meltdown.

Fire Geithner, hire Krugman.
