Forget Healthcare - Goldman loots the treasury with impunity


Ever since I started reading Max Keiser and Matt Taibbi..... I can think of nothing else.

While we fight with seniors over whether everybody is entitled to their healthcare...

Big BIz continues to loot the country under the protection of bought and paid for legislatures.

It's 1789 - crops have failed - temperatures are plummeting -- and the French countryside is emptying into Paris..... Geithner, Bernanke, Paulson, and their ilk toast the successful pillage of Lehman and Bear Stearns... unaware that the peasants are coming for them.

ARE WE GOING FOR THEM??? .

Read Taibbi and grab a pitchfork..... or something more lethal.  It's time for bullet proof glass on Wall St.

from Rolling Stone mag --

"The new president for whom we all had such high hopes went and hired Michael Froman, a Citigroup executive who accepted a $2.2 million bonus after he joined the White House, to serve on his economic transition team -- at the same time the government was giving Citigroup a massive bailout. Then, after promising to curb the influence of lobbyists, Obama hired a former Goldman Sachs lobbyist, Mark Patterson, as chief of staff at the Treasury. He hired another Goldmanite, Gary Gensler, to police the commodities markets. He handed control of the Treasury and Federal Reserve over to Geithner and Bernanke, a pair of stooges who spent their whole careers being bellhops for New York bankers. And on the first anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, when he finally came to Wall Street to promote "serious financial reform," his plan proved to be so completely absent of balls that the share prices of the major banks soared at the news.

The nation's largest financial players are able to write the rules for own their businesses and brazenly steal billions under the noses of regulators, and nothing is done about it. A thing so fundamental to civilized society as the integrity of a stock, or a mortgage note, or even a U.S. Treasury bond, can no longer be protected, not even in a crisis, and a crime as vulgar and conspicuous as counterfeiting can take place on a systematic level for years without being stopped, even after it begins to affect the modern-day equivalents of the Rockefellers and the Carnegies. What 10 years ago was a cheap stock-fraud scheme for second-rate grifters in Brooklyn has become a major profit center for Wall Street. Our burglar class now rules the national economy. And no one is trying to stop them."

where are the assassins?

Irreverent Reverend


I am a 60 year old white suburban grandma. I voted Nixon, Reagan, Reagan, Perot, Perot, Buchanan - and then stayed home.

I am voting Obama because the establishment is frightened of his candor. That makes him my guy.

I am voting Obama because the Jerusalem Post hates him. That means he represents the other 98% of the nation.

I am voting Obama because our government probably DID create AIDS as a weapon.

I think both parties forget how jaundiced the average American really is.  Rush spent a decade convincing us that the Clinton body count was over a hundred murdered. That same side tells us that Ruby Ridge, Waco, OKC and the TWA 800 cover up were criminal acts.

But now we are asked to ignore evidence that United stocks were shorted in the days before 9/11 - that at least one of the buildings was brought down by explosives - or that Bush/Cheney ordered the same stand down as Roosevelt on 12/7 - at Pearl Harbor.

I've had enough - frankly.  I want my country back.

Israel is not the 51st State, yet there is a lock down on any public debate on the subject. Muslims don't hate us for our freedoms - but for our support for the genocide of Palestinians - yet we are bombarded with news stories that Palis are evil - and Jews are saintly in their goodness.

Enough already. I think a Black Panther in the Justice Department would be the house cleaning we so desperately need. 

So if the pundits on both sides think they can smear Obama into oblivion - they are sadly too late.  Both parties have revealed themselves to be two sides of the same shekel.

George Bush was installed as president of the few over the many. He is and was an embarrassment to the office and the country.  He's destroyed our currency, constitution, and the prestige of our nation. He has defiled our reputation in the world as a beacon for justice and liberty.

I won't sit idly by as we replace one crime family for another. Washington needs a thorough house cleaning and Barack Obama is the best candidate for the job because he is reviled by the establishment.  Those are his credentials.

That's what tells me he hasn't drunk the kool aid.
