European Tribune - Can Obama stop the looting before it's too late?
Yet the Fed is treating AIG as a party that has rights and is negotiating with them, as opposed to dictating terms. This is staggering.

staggering only if you haven't suspected for a while now that banks have entirely too much power over politicians.

if there ever was an objective science of economics, it's obvious that it can be bent way out of shape to accommodate the privileged very few, at the protracted and painful cost to the many, some even yet unborn!

there are so few voices that explain how sophisticated this greatest ever heist in history was, and how gulled were so many naive people.

and you have to go hunt them out...

thanks, J, for peeling back the onion again.

the only thing these shysters are banking on, at the end of the day, is that the people are too dumbed down to suspect  that these secret enclaves of the unaccountable are responsible for a declining dollar, unemployment, inflation and insecurity about the future, all to be in hock to the most greedy and unscrupulous gang of thieves ever given so much power to destroy so many lives.

all because of ignorance and deceit!

invisible people, sucking from the treasury at their convenience, even charging the rubes for lawyers to defend their own evil interests from civil suits.

no wonder mum and dad wanted me to be a banker or a lawyer.

how much can they loot before the public's muted growl becomes a mighty roar?

2 trill and counting... not a charge against any of them, not even one bad apple...

how long before we're taxed in blood when our tractor-trailers of worthless currency aren't enough for the taxman, and our ever more insanely megalomaniac financial overlords?

what will happen when the anesthetic wears off, and we realise we've been deftly eviscerated?

these guys are going to need every bloodsoaked penny to pay private armies of malodorous thugs to protect them from being strung up from the nearest lamp-posts by a red-misted public, and then they all have to rest sometime.

gonna take a whole lotta ambien to get their beauty sleep, i bet...

that howling hurricane in my head?

the feeling that the world as we know it needs turning upside down?

it's always the same story, the powerful, not being content with their domination, reach too far and people rise up... don't need a crystal ball to see how this might end. brute force has never succeeded in permanently erasing intelligence and imagination, but it ain't for want of trying!

the more you suppress it, the more it pops up where you don't expect.
