Folks by now I hope you all realize something,
the biggest of banks, financial institutions, and international corporations
are the basic problem of why we are going through these unbelievably difficult economic
times. Sure, we can blame Obama, Bush, and many other political figures and you
are right but who financed their bid to get into these powerful political
positions? As I have tried to give you the details on the money behind the
system, over the years, through links like www.opensecrets.org
it is obvious the system works for the economic and political powers-to-be, not
you and me.
I receive many of what I call
“Yeah buts.” Yeah but Obama or Bush or Congress did this and this
is why things are like they are (Insert any Federal Mandate you wish). And my
“Yeah but” is, “Yeah but” if you follow the money you
will see why things are the way they are. It’s the game of political
finger pointing while the real power is behind the green curtain (the color of
money).
I will give you two examples of what
I am talking about. First, the unbelievable section of the Dodd-Frank Act
called the Banks Living Wills. OMG!! We know what a living will is, basically
giving legal direction with what you want to do with your assets and your
personal wishes at or near your death. So why are the banks allowed to
determine where their assets go in the event of failure, isn’t that what
Federal Bankruptcy Courts are for? Not for them, THEY get too choose where
their assets go.
Gee, you thing they might go to their
buddies so they still have control of them? Come on folks, this is so blatant,
in your face control of Congress and just proves the Dodd-Frank Joke was
written for the banks and by the banks. Their justification is THEY know better
how to dismantle their businesses than anyone else and if not, it just might
cause the entire economic system to fail. Sound familiar? “Systemic risk”
if we don’t bail them out and the Federal Reserve pumping trillions into
them.
Too me, this sounds like justification
to eliminate the national banking system entirely then distribute their assets
between state and local banks and credit unions.
Second, how about an $800 TRILLION
scandal by the banking and financial industries? It affects every one of us and
all they have gotten is a slap on the hand, fines not prison sentences.
While we fight over the politics of
this election season, the economic elite (national banks, financial industries,
and international corporations) continue to do what they want no matter what
the political environment is doing or purposing. Nothing, to this point, has
changed anything for we the people, no matter who has been in Legislative or
Presidential offices since 2008, except more hardships for the economy.
