US Banking Collapse a 'Controlled Demolition'

What does the rest of the world know that we don't? The United States Dollar is dead.

While we are being jerked around by the mainstream media here at home, the rest of the world has already drawn the final conclusion for us, and what they are saying about us isn't pretty.

We are in the middle of a crisis much larger than most Americans could imagine, a portion of America can't even handle it, for that matter. The Bailout is an awful idea, and the majority of Americans realize that. There is even a provision that would grant Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson dictatorial powers, and that is obviously insane, but here we are debating it. It's like asking a dead man whether he wants to be buried or cremated; it's a non issue and Congress is just playing a game to distract the American people. We need to move ahead, and we should begin with taking our country back from the tyrants.

Hank Paulson has already taken control of the US banking system; journalist and expert economist Max Keiser compares Paulson to the 9/11 hijackers, calling him a financial terrorist. Keiser has been making his rounds on international broadcasts, including France 24 and Press TV where he compares the collapse of the US banking system to WTC 7 - "a controlled demolition."

Our news is being filtered and the rest of the world is ready to write us off. China has asked domestic banks to stop lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent losses. America has relied on borrowing money from foreign lenders, and China was one of the largest. We have put ourselves in debt to China, and now they have cut us off.

Meanwhile, the President of the United States is trying to scare the American people, threatening: support the Bailout or face more bank failures and a stock market crash; 401Ks will evaporate; home prices will plummet and foreclosures will rise. Sadly we face all of these things plus much worse, with or without the bailout, and our president is deceiving us and he's being aided by the media.

During his speech on Wednesday, Bush claimed to have been informed by, "The government's top economic experts" and they are warning us, "without immediate action...America could slip into a financial panic and a distressing scenario would unfold."

These experts are the same ones that led us to this economic crisis. Many have been predicting this collapse for years. Let's listen to some other economists. Yesterday Senator Shelby, ranking Republican on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, met with the President and brought with him a 5 page list of the nation's leading economists, who do not agree with the Bailout Proposal and have offered alternatives.

The veil has been lifted for those who have eyes to see it. We are being shown who is in control of America, and it is what many of us know already -  the bankers- the central bank. It is a sickening display.

Right now we are relying on the rest of the world. If they continue to dump or threaten to dump our dollar, we are sunk, and if our representatives pass the Bailout and the Fed "prints" all those billions of dollars, (trillions when its all said and done) we are sunk. Our dollar will be worthless. Either way they are taking it to zero.

It is not an ideal situation but we are in it and there are other factors bringing us to our knees.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) our gasoline inventories are the lowest since 1967. The southeast is running out of gas; Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College in North Carolina has shut down; and AAA reports that Nashville TN has the worst gas shortage, 85% of the gas stations are closed, and where you can find fuel, the wait can be 4 hours long. Add that to the flood damaged wheat, corn and soybean crops and our supermarket shelves will be thin. What will happen when we are hungry and broke? They would expect us to be upset about that. Bush can declare himself a dictator at any time, according to PDD 51, and implement martial law for any reason. In early September an article from theArmy Times went virtually unnoticed for a couple of weeks. They reported that troops will soon be patrolling our streets:

"The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or man-made emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks."

We are on our own, people. Congress is merely making a final attempt at looking sincere, as they have been profiting all along.The main stream media has no loyalty to America either. Their strings are pulled the same way by the same people. America has been hijacked. We have lost everything, and now they want to leave us broke and homeless on the continent our forefathers conquered.

International Currency Review

"There are even those [Congressmen] who are now prepared to accept that this crisis, which has driven Americans from their jobs and homes, with their sons dying in wars launched for ruthless private gain, is about one thing only: OPEN-ENDED OFFICIAL FRAUDULENT FINANCE OPERATIONS. The 'subprime mortgage crisis' was a 'slide' [see below].

As soon as this factor is understood by the general public, as seems likely, there will be hell to pay. Applications for a Permit-to-Carry arms have increased enormously in recent weeks and months, with correspondents emailing the Editor with observations such as:

'Everyone I've talked to affirms they will die with their guns at their hands. We'll fight! These people have overestimated themselves and underestimated us "useless eaters"'.

Our view remains that what is about to change is that THE RULE OF LAW will be re-established and that these criminal operatives will NOT get away with their crimes. Certain information, backed by extremely sensitive 'smoking gun' data, has been in the hands of the appropriate authorities for about a week, that proves inter alia that these crooks have engaged in war profiteering on a scale with no historical precedent, which explains why Bush was never in the slightest interested in the dead bodies that were and are being buried in Arlington Cemetery, which ran out of space to take the daily new arrivals. These people are brought up to INFLICT PAIN WITHOUT FLINCHING."

Reply: Investigative articles by the Miami Herald also show fraud

as the reason why a bailout is now necessary!!!  Wake up people!  We are being fed a line of BS again about the causes of, and need for, a bailout a.k.a. rip-off.

We need to take action before the Bush Neo-cons and their Democratic enablers trash our economy with their "bailout." See Wondering Why We Are Bailing Out Those Banks? Could it be FRAUD!?!?!

Could it be a case of the Bush Administration looking the other way while all kinds of scamming was going on? Let's see. Bush I is ruling during the Savings and Loan bail out, and Bush II is ruling when the banks need to be bailed out. Does anyone see a pattern here? Find out who caused this mess and learn a better way to get out of it.

This article contains links to the Miami Herald articles showing that (surprise, surprise) the Republicons looked the other way while widespread mortgage fraud went unchecked.

Please check it out, learn the truth, and pass it along to your friends. Also, use the link Help the Victims, Not the Scam Artists! to send a message to your members of Congress and your local newspaper telling them what you think about the latest Bush engineered crisis!

SECOND UPDATE, 26th September 2008:

WHO'S BEING 'RESCUED'? THE BANKS? WRONG: THE CROOKS
When 'Paulson' was televised getting down on bended knee in front of Pelosi, as though he was proposing to her (yuk), what do you suppose he was saying, apart from possibly asking for a less prominent lamp post? Here's what he may have been pleading to his co-conspirator:

'PLEASE vote for whatever convoluted version of the Plan comes out of the works, because quite clearly if you do not, we'll be TOAST on Monday. I don't care what Congress does, AS LONG AS YOU ALL VOTE FOR SOMETHING, cuz then Dubya will be able to appear on TV and praise me for having saved America and the whole world. But the underlying reason that you MUST DO THIS, darhling, is that it's our pocket money, the on-the-books cash that we need for our new trading platform, so's we can continue our hypothecation operations after we get out of this hellhole, like nothing ever happened. So be a dear, would ya?'

FACT: The money that Paulson wants Congress to deliver is indeed the crooks' trading platform money. They cannot touch the Settlements. They cannot steal money any longer without getting caught as has happened on multiple occasions. Their own stolen money is stuck and cannot be brought onto the books because it is illicit, and most of it is frozen. So they need some more cash so they can start trading all over. They can turn $700 billion into several trillion in weeks or less.

FURTHER FACT: Embedded in this deception, which has gone so predictably wrong and is being perpetrated for public consumption, is the lie that the 'rescue' package (ANY OLD package) will be the 'solution' to the crisis. However the mechanism that will RESOLVE this hideous crisis is NOT THIS CHARADE, but something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, to which is attached a LETHAL DEADLINE. The 'rescue package' serves an exclusively cosmetic purpose in this context.

We refer, of course, to the Settlements. This is all we are 'allowed' to say at this juncture.

At an earlier stage of this Music Hall, 'Paulson' made some comment about his original Plan 'sticking in his craw'. What will stick in the craw of the American people, have no doubt, is that these odious crooks are STILL DECEIVING, because the new money they are after IS NOT needed for rescuing the corrupt banks at all, but for RESCUING THE CROOKS AND THEIR CRONIES so that they can all go on playing tiddly winks after they manage to escape from the Beltway.

But they may be making the arrogant and increasingly pathetic assumption that they will never encounter any of those lamp posts in an upside down position. At this rate, the American people may well have the last word on that score. The game is well and truly up(side down) when the so-called US Treasury Secretary is seen kneeling before the Speaker of the House of Representatives like a mediaeval pilgrim worshipping a saint. Or like Lavrenti Beria, Stalin's Interior Ministry (MVD) Chief, who, having ordered the murder of millions, broke down and fell on his knees in floods of tears when his executioners arrived at his cell to deliver the standard bullet through the temple.

Bush

What about the FBI investigations?

Bush made NO MENTION of them in his speech!


CNN: "FBI probing bailout firms - Investigators start search for fraud at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers and AIG, sources say."


Fourwinds (and here): Bush blocked CNN/FOX's broadcast of the World Court's 3 hour documentary detailing the criminality in the country.


George W Bush quote: "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

BBC (and video): Bush's grandfather Prescott conspired to overthrow the Constitution, assassinate FDR, and turn the USA into a Nazi Camp.

Reply: So what?

The FBI can investigate until they're blue in the face, it won't mean crap. The top people in the FBI are as corrupt as those in the White House. For if that weren't true there would be a great many of those currently in power that would be behind bars right now.

Name an investigation that threatens any of the powers-that-be that has gone anywhere? Just one?

Look, I hate to say this, but it's over. If the people of this country haven't by now taken action to stop these cretins from fulfilling their genocidal plans I can't see anything in the future that will.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I make a point of going out into the public and there isn't a time I do that I'm not struck by the amount of ignorance and denial, it is simply overwhelming.

The cretins have been planning this for hundreds of years and are in their final stages of completing their conquest of this planet, whereas the sleeping masses have yet to even awaken to their plight, let alone start to organize a resistance.

Reply: How about some motivation?

The only chance we have is to inform (educate) people of what's going on.

Those in the right places will take appropriate action.

There's a way to solve this "energy crisis"...

First, watch this short Reuters news video.

Then read this article: The 9/11 Truth Movement, Free Energy Suppression and the Global Elite’s Agenda

Alaskan magnetometers went BONKERS with every 9/11 "event"..

including the planes-shaped holes appearing in the towers.

HAARP (in Alaska) was involved.

No one in New York reported the deafening sound of wide-body commercial airliners hitting the towers at full throttle.

In 1999, the Washington Post reported on the military's psychological operation hologram project.

Let me state the obvious

Regulation doesn't work. Central banking doesn't work. No, it's not just that the wrong people are in office. It's a system that doesn't work. The regulators end up controlled by the regulatees. This is just a reality we have to face.

This is tough for progressives since you have so much faith in government as an institution. You, progressives, created & support the regulatory state so it is you who are to blame for the present disaster. Please start listening to those of us who have advocated free markets.

Reply: put the crack pipe down

Not many people here have much faith in gov't. I think you ought to realize where you are before you mouth off like a twit.

The article didn't say a word about regulation or not. It talked about a criminal syndicate that has taken over the United States. Pay more attention when you read stuff.

Reply: Grow a brain

The whole problem was created by the government's regulation of the financial sector & yes the article talks about the bail out, which is a form of regulation.

Since when do progressives not trust government as an institution? They may not like their current leaders but that doesn't lead them to turn their backs on the crimminal syndicate (to use your term) & embrace free markets. 

Pull your head out before you post anything else so you won't look so foolish.
