$10 Trillion in Wall Street Aid and No Investigations?

jeff
it is a tightrope for those that see this problem. it appears to be a complicated, delicate, difficult situation. in reality every provision is in our founding documents. there is a mountain of unconstitutional manure on top of the legal republic. there is the fed scam controlling our money, there is the irs scam (the federalis are limited to import/export taxes to keep power and growth in check) which does not appear to have been properly ratified and would still be unconstitutional even if it was. there is the nea. there is the non-media or government press. then there are politicians and the oligarchs who own them. all of this could easily be corrected by simple adherence to the law of the constitutional republic.
a week or so back i said all peaceful means must be exhausted first. this is a matter of conscience. i am not deluded enough to think that power will be surrendered peacefully and law will rule. it is simply the requirement of a standard. for now one productive course is to point out to reasonable men that what we have is a mutated, parasitic beast in place of what we should have. your efforts are appreciated.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

i too prefered the old format.
the swiss don't want to see all that money flood out of their banks. there are other tax havens. i find it gratifying to see tax hungry invasive politicians thwarted.
i am in the middle of thomas payne's "common sense", a most interesting read.

America: The Land of the Fleece Scam

the illusion of great national wealth during the decades of looting gave the complacency and cover to drain the middle class.
i wonder how many americans have no debt so they can say what belongs to them is truly theirs.

USA Today: What Happens When Investment Bankers Run a Country

the republic was protected as were minority rights by constitutional, law and a system of checks and balances. it has been mangled, reinterpreted, and rearranged until it can be finished off by democracy (mob rule).
when banksters run the country they come to own all real assets. this is simply the warnings of the founders coming to fruition. they and their lobbyists have owned the politicians for a long time. think federal reserve as the owner of government rather than part of government. the lawyers they pay for make the laws for the bankster cartel.
voting integrity is subject to electronic integrity.

The Virtue of the Republic

i understand and sympathize but i want them to have trials or grand jury hearings. for our sake not theirs. i imagine you like me try to obey the law (sometimes i like to drive to fast but that is the idiot kid in me). i want to be sure that there is always a fair trial for us so i have to want the same for them.
it is kind of like censorship. i don't want religion or porno censored because i don't want to be censored. besides free speech is a two-edged sword.

good article, common sense is stretching pretty hard in the district of illogic and unreason. i am to complimentary here to d.c.. i think more likely we are in the hands of gangster/thug types and have been for a long time. it profits them to protect the interests of the "corptocracy" (borrowing an sa posters term). using expansion and contraction i wonder how much of the "missing" fed money has ended up in real property and tangible assets to enrich the hard to find fed stockholders.
we have a long painful road to go to restore constitutional government. i think we need a firehose to wash out the stable (you know the horse excrement) to get rid of by the lawyers, of the lawyers, for those that pay the lawyers government. we probably should make it illegal for lawyers to hold any public office. we have politicians. we need statesmen.
the mistake we make is assuming they are stupid rather than malicious.

Rating Obama's First 100 Days

he has a nice smile.
he is a slicker llier than bubba.
he has been but kissing tyrants and terrorists.
he is crushing the middle class and their children to promote the promised equality.
he is aiding the fed (bankster cartel) to sieze assets and property.
he is pushing uss quickly to the promised socialism at an accelerated pace but it is the corporate fascist version.
he still whines about bush (as do the obamites) yet he is bush deficit multiplied.
he gets an a for being a politician like the rest of them.

Bail Out for Dummies - Part I

thanx. it could be even worse in reality. sometimes those rascals lie to us about numbers.
i sure would like to see the rise of a party that would use a platform of constitutional restoration. the "cures" for all of these problems are contained in the founding documents. the rest of the ammendments need to be examined in the light of the origional documents. not every ammendment meets the requirements of our constitution.
the 2 party system was not forseen by the founders. they believed a free diverse society would have several competeing parties, so the electoral college was established. i say 2 party but it appears to be one party with two faces and two sets of lies to please different constituants.

Bankruptcy Lets Capitalism Run Its Course

i have a skill that i can sell anywhere between $30 to $100 dollars an hour depending on circumstances of need, location, and duration if i choose to use it. however i spent a lifetime of practical application honing the skill. that is using it as my means of income in my own little business.

gedanconomist and billddrummer-thanx-you kind of answered my earlier question to bylo.

Bankruptcy Lets Capitalism Run Its Course

i will call it the free market as the definition of capitalism is probably debatable. i would prefer that the banksters and insurers also reap the deserved results along with the uaw and gm. as it stands the taxpayers (middle class) are stuck with the bill and none of the rewards.
by free market i do not mean the unfettered run amok monopolistic robber barrons. if govt. would apply constiutional restraints and simply perform their legal function then we would actually have a much freer competitive market. to big to fail seems to break constitutional restraints against cartels, monopolies, and trusts by the label.

bylo--what would you say the wage with benefits and retirement was? i drove a little ford ranger for 18 years. when i sold it, it was still like a little sewing machine. i now have a chevy s-10 which so far has been very good.

It's the Politicians, Not the Public

hi paul

is there a possibility that those in power want to worsen the problem to gain more control. use the crises whether real, allowed or created. squeeze until the confused majorities bleat for the problem causers to take control and solve the problem. there are the unruly types the ones who believe in the free society and seek to restore constitutional restraints on government run amok. those that have played by the rules and won't surrender their God given rights to the nanny state. they will be a thorn in the side of the statists.

The New Compensation Bill: What Would the Founding Fathers Say?

the founding fathers would have acted decades back if not more than a century back. they would not recognize this confused mess of corporatism, socialism, facism, marxism, elitism, welfare state democracy. pitifully it came about in the name of the greater good, fairness, etcetera.
the u.s. (to use obamamama's favorite word) inherited slavery. it self corrected in a relatively short time. only the u.s. is guilty of this mistake? sounds like the government school programing and conditioning took a pretty good hold.
i would guess the founders would have sympathized with the confederates in the war over states rights. yes i know the govt schools rewrote that chapter too.

How Bailouts Are Messing with Capitalism

it sure does make it tricky deciding on trades. just when you think you have it figured out a pundit, politician or beauracrat opens their stupid mouth again and the goals and boundaries all go into flux again.

New Bailout Packages an End-Run Around Congress

we can blame our congress critters. we can blame obamamama (and his predecessors), we can blame the supremes for the destruction of our democratic republic. in truth they are all guilty of breaking their oathes and doing their part to let the federal beast swell far beyond the constittional boundaries. however the most blame lies on the u.s. citizen for being ignorant of probably the best government concieved by mortals and allowing it to degenerate to this- socialist, democratic, dictatorship. for now it maintains the facade of benevolence. it has yet to be challenged and ordered to surrender the illegal centralization of power. it wll be a pleasent suprise if it does it peacefully. it is rare for government to surrender power in a peaceful manner.
