Naomi Klein: "Now Is the Time to Resist Wall Street's Shock Doctrine"

The following article says just about all of it. The bottom line is that this bailout of Wall Street is for the benefit of the 'Fat Cats', and we get the bill for their lavish lifestyles and golden parachutes. The economy is already doomed to have a significant recession-depression. This bailout will only make it that much worse. These people have profited from this real estate bubble and the exorbitant profits they made from investing in financial derivatives. Now they want US to finance the mess THEY created! Don't let them get away with it! Do whatever you can to stop this! Contact your congressman & senators, forward this (and other) e-mails and web sites that tell the truth about this to everybody you know... We have to stop these crooks & criminals in suits from totally wrecking this country. They're trying to protect their own butts from the meat grinder by putting OUR butts in it. Let's not give them the satisfaction. There is a video stream and audio associated with the following link so that you can listen or view the video if you don't want to read it. Now go forth and 'unleash hell' upon the heads of these greedy oligarchs!

Battle plan for the 50 states

This is a 2-part article written by Devvy Kidd. It is a very timely article, and I agree with most of it. It is time for people to stand up and fight for our freedom, our financial solvency, and against the destruction of our way of life. I don't think that it is necessary to totally destroy America in order to bring prosperity to the rest of the world. This notion comes from a scarcity mentality.

Wealth is created by thought, and can be destroyed by the same. It would appear to me that the financial oligopoly is only focused on inflicting the maximum financial pain and suffering that they can possibly muster upon the average American. And to add insult to injury, they want us to finance it! We must insure that they do not succeed in their sinister goal.

If we don't act now, there will not be any excuse that will save us. Nobody will care to hear about your whining about how bad things have become. It will be much too late for that. And remember that voting is NOT an act that has enough power to change anything substantial, especially in rigged presidential elections where both candidates are hand-picked corporate flunkies. So act now, or sit down and accept whatever crumbs the oligarchs care to leave you.

Talk to others, spread the word about the lies and corruption in government, stage a sit-in, contact your congressman, meet with like-minded people... Be creative. Take action. We know that the only way that we will be saved is by our own efforts. The people in government are the ones who have been paid to create this situation, so they will NOT be the solution, but will only exacerbate the problems. Get inspired. Turn off that television because it engenders the idea that we can't stop these people. They know that we can stop them if we work together, and this is why they want us to continue to tune in to the inane television shows that are designed to pacify and spread ignorance. We owe it to our children and our own futures to fight for freedom.

Mushroom Cloud over Wall Street as US Constitution Burns :: The Market Oracle :: Financial Markets Analysis & Forecasting Free Website

Mushroom Cloud over Wall Street as US Constitution Burns :: The Market Oracle :: Financial Markets Analysis & Forecasting Free Website

This article tells it like it is in reference to the financial debacle that is upon us. In short, the same people who profited from the 'privatization' and 'deregulation' of the financial industry are the ones who are now begging to be saved from the financial mess that they created themselves, and trying to stick US with the bill! This proposal to give Paulson sweeping power is ludicrous. It would effectively make him the most powerful man in the country--much more powerful than the President or the Supreme Court! How can it possibly be in our best interest to make Paulson the dictator of the country, beyond any legal control??? This is a brazen power grab, and the motivation is to allow Paulson to have the power to saddle the people with any level of debt that he chooses. Of course, this is so that Wall Street can save themselves from the financial quicksand that they have created. Funny how they want to reap all of the profits, and leave the people holding the bag for the liabilities.
