    People really listen to this garbage??! Amazing. If the Three Stooges had done stock analysis this is precisely what it would have looked and sounded like. You must be the equivalent of the woman trailing behind her dog with the pooper scooper...saving the nuggets for us to examine. Congrats!

    Corpo Thugs are out - You buy we sell ...

    ~ It's Official ~

    Predatory Lending - Has equaled - The Osama Attacks !!!

    But we shall see whats more destructive - Terro Attacks -
    Or Greed - Right now there neck and neck!!!

    ~ The Paper Tigers Against - The Nuts ~

    My Bet is going for the Paper Tigers to be far more destructive!!!


    ECB to offer up to $20B in dollars

    "It probably means that it will give easier access to dollar
    funds for European banks," said Commerzbank economist Christoph
    Balz, who added that a similar move was made just after the
    Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 because "at that time there was also
    a problem for accessing dollar funds for European banks."

    The Fed said it had agreed with the ECB, the Bank of England, the
    Bank of Canada and the Swiss National Bank to address what it called
    "elevated pressures" in credit markets. The U.S. central bank said
    that it was creating a temporary auction facility to make funds
    available to banks and was also setting up lines of credit with
    the ECB and the Swiss Central Bank that could be used for additional
    resources.

    ~ How Predatory Lending is Destroying America ~

    ~ America Reduced to Begging Across the World ~

    The basic concept of predatory lending - Was and is
    steal from peter to pay paul...

    Now add in the concept of - Manifest Destiny - Supremacy
    above all....

    Okay lets say the ARMS were the trap - Get your credit for
    a low amount - Then after a year or two - that jumps up to rates
    - That can not be sustained - Buy the mortgage holder...

    However - your in the market of - well just forclose and re-sell
    it - at a inflated housing market scam.

    But here is where the problem lie's - You created a paper tiger - saying
    your housing market is above actual value...

    So if you said the housing market was worth 100 billion dollars - But actual
    value was 50 billion dollars - So to cover that extra 50 billion - you have
    to borrow - at a rate that will cost 30 billion dollars - so a cost of 80 billion
    - for the extra 50 billion dollar call.

    So the inflated pricing now cost the American tax payer - 80 billion for every
    50 billion borrowed - To cover the housing scams.

    But where does this money come from - Other preditory lending places???

    Already other countries - have loaned trillions of dollars - to cover
    inflated calls...

    Now lets play what if - With the feds going around begging - Like a family just
    evicted from there homes - What if those the feds had to borrow from - Gets as
    heartless - as you basic countrywide - with statements like - the mexicans thought
    they owned there house's too - and decides it's time to do some evictions - of
    it's own ????

    After all it's only business - done everyday across America !!!

    Now we can say Greed has taken the Lead...

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:
    Hillary Haters and the Roosevelts

    Mr R.J Robert Kennedy "Junior"

    First off you can stop the "ROVEY" tactics - It's just
    starting to make 60+ of the dems MAD - and will make a
    landslide lose for OLE-HILL....

    My Uncle was friends with your DAD Robert Kennedy "Senior"
    - His name was Clyde Warrior - can say it wasn't love at first
    site - But they became friends...

    You see what you have not learned what you dad did - was the
    American people are not numbers on the wall-street market ...

    You see when you base The American People on the simple 1 million
    rich-greedy of wall-street - You know nothing of the American People...

    You see were - garage sale - flee market - give me a sale fools...

    Were living from pay check to pay check - we worry how our kids are
    going to be able to live in a greedy world - WE try to over look - the
    broken promises - and tell our kids not too hate the rich-greedy...

    So when we see the rich-greedy - 1 million strong - dictating - to the
    American people like were trash - and see you taking up for those rich-greedy
    a Clinton supporter - calling us haters attacking your very 60+ base....

    You see we do hate NAFTA-CAFTA - Low job wages - and wiping rich-greedy
    ass's in simple service JOBS - for the rich-greedy ....

    So you see were not a stupid you hope we are....

    THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL TAKE BACK AMERICA - FLEE MARKETS ABOVE - RICH-GREEDY
    WALL STREET MARKETS - NO MORE NAFTA'S-CAFTA'S ....

    So when you call Me a Clinton Hater - first look at How The Clintons - Treated
    the poor of the Native Americans - Then call me a Hater ....

    When you call us trash haters - It tells us - you will not listen too the
    American People ....

    Were here not too read no damn book - We want too know what will be done for
    WE THE PEOPLE ........

    Least we forget the words - only as great as you treat the least of these!!!
