THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

Truth needs no law to support it. Truth is self-evident to all. Truth withstands re-examination. Truth survives questions. Throughout history, from Galileo to Zundel, only lies and liars have resorted to the courts to enforce adherence to dogma." -- Michael Rivero

 

Paulson's Plan, And The Suckers Who Bought It

Folks, this bailout money isn't about loosening credit for consumers or businesses, but consolidating wealth and power in fewer and fewer banking hands. That's great business for the banking elites, but lousy business for the US taxpayer. And it's all being orchestrated by one of their own, in the shape of Hank Paulson, ably assisted by Neel Kashkari, another ex-Goldman Sachs employee (with, according to the US Treasury, expertise in mergers and acquisitions -- what a surprise), and now responsible for administering the banking handouts.

Don't bother the UMARIKIN sheeple

Don't bother the UMARIKIN sheeple with information like this. They think it is a conspiracy theory. They refuse to believe that they could possibly have been fleeced yet again.

Better to just take another bailout for, lets say, $400 trillion. Nobody in UMARIKA will give a damn. They have far more important things to do - like watching the new Survivor and keeping up with what Paris Hilton, Lidsay Lohan, and all the other "stars" in their lives.

Correction....

Liberal Professor

I think you are dead on about people believing it is a "conspiracy theory" when told. Despite the documented paper trail as to where the money comes from, goes, and how it is used... (Really, what more is needed?)

Problem is, this country is conditioned to disbelieve anyone or anything that purports to demonstrate that wealth is being further concentrated. Edicence be damned. Pointing out what is actually going on is "class warfare" and being aware of it is a bigger crime than commiting it.

Finally, the fluctuating market (of which 3/4 of people are NOT invested in) and further home data has grabbed the attention of the masses. It is no longer the bailout, but other economic woes that have the bleaters concerned.

Even if the nation were to become convinced of crminality, I question if they would be able to make a long-term commitment to remember it and do something about it. TV has whittled down the attention span and long-term memory of people into fractions of what they were, and fostered an acceptance of only conventional knowledge. "If it is more than 15 seconds long, and I don't already know what the conclusion is going to be (Saddam BAD /U.S.A Good!) you can count me out!"

Nuance is for John Kerry, the real world is reductionistic down to black and white.

As per your reference, I believe it's "Murkin'
