Volcker's Wake Up Call: Spread the Word

"Against whom do we strike? Where do we riot?"

We strike by not overconsuming; we grow a vegetable garden; we barter/trade our services; we save money by buying gold or silver bullion; we utilize the library, the internet, the used bookstores for knowledge; we shop the garage sales, flea markets and Goodwill; repair items rather than throw away; we riot by speaking out to all who would listen.

Let's Keep Big Banks from Ruining America Forever

Thank you, Mr. Kim, for your analysis to which I wholeheartedly agree. There is another person, a member of GATA, who has written about the banking industry in her article "Where would Jesus Bank?" which is located on her website solari.com.

Me thinks that John Perkins, the author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," should weigh in on this debacle. The urgency of Paulson and Bernanke when they reported to Congress that we need broad powers and and a blank check--right now!--seems suspect. Kinda like the "9/11" of financial hits--except it's the American middle class that's getting hit. The people at the top just need to tighten their belts, sell their ten cars, give up vacations at Vail, CO . . .
