The Big Takeover

[scaredyclassic]

music related intra-thread hijack query; all of my life, I have hated jazz; then i recently started listening to some miles davis and I am completely hooked, obsessive and will listen to nothing else right now. Is this due to aging, the economy, or some independent unknown factor? will i pull out of this or is this the endgame?

In the unfolding global financial collapse, it is not just our accounts and balance sheets that come up short, but our language as well. What do you call a bunch of liar loans packaged into toxic assets and placed on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve as collateral for rescue loans? J,K. Galbraith has proposed the term “Bezzle,” taking it to mean the eternal ebb and flow of questionable transactions within an economic cycle. Rational actors cut corners during easy times when they know no-one is looking, and then play nice again when the times change and someone starts paying attention again.

But I believe that the phenomenon we are observing is something different: we need a word that describes the artifacts generated in response to irrational actors who demand to be fooled. As the old saying goes, “A fool and his money are soon parted” – at the fool’s own insistence, no less! If the deer comes out of the forest and walks up to the hunter, it is not proper hunting, and this is not proper con artistry or grift or embezzlement or any other term we use to describe proper works of evil. If the victim, at the site of the economic predator, goes into doggie submission, we must stop discussing the phenomenon in terms of conflict and consider whether what we are observing might be some strange instance of symbiosis.

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence

Control of money supply and control of interest rates. Are you out there Partypup? What say you?[/quote]

LOL. Well, you know that I own several tin foil hats in various colors and sizes 😉

I’ve been out of the loop for couple of weeks. Just adopted a beautiful baby boy! As crappy as the world has become around me, I push every dismal leading economic indicator and horrible unemployment stat out of my mind when I look into his eyes :-))))

In any event, I haven’t finished reading this article, but damn if he doesn’t nail it on the head. The bankers are certainly staging a revolution: an in-your-face coup to own and control most of humanity and its resources.

Now the question is, will we step up and respond with our OWN revolution? Because the way I see it, we have little choice at this point. We either die in an attempt to live free, or we live as slaves. For my part, I’d rather die free.

Americans have been lulled into a slumber for the past 100 years — and as disappointed as I have become with them, I truly believe that we will see a groundswell of opposition in our lifetimes that lays the groundwork for the second American Revolution. And it will happen a lot sooner than most of us think. You can only prod the cattle so long before they bolt. And a growing number of us are starting to eye the ranchhands and the corral exit, and trying to figure out how to engineer our escape…
