re: "It Looks Like Rolling Stone Is Planning Another Goldman Sachs Hit-Piece "
We don't need any more hit pieces.
We need RICO Act indictments for running a continuing criminal enterprise.
We need a special prosecutor, someone like Eliot Spitzer.
Yeah, I said it... Eliot Spitzer.
Not a political hack and a mock investigation.
I want someone with a chip on his shoulder and an axe to grind.
Everything is data based.
All the records are there from all those calls and meetings between Blankfein and Paulson, Geithner, and all the former Goldman staffers embedded in all the government agencies.
We just need someone with political control over the FBI to decide to use them.
Gerald Celente spoke the inconvenient truth...
"If the names on Wall Street were named Celente, Caruso, Mondavi, Puccinni, Butonni, Abatello, Puccio and Roselli, they'd call it the Mafia. But because it's the 'White Shoe' boys, and they give different names to Ponzi schemes, and Pyramid scams, loan sharking and other dirty deals... they call it 'Wall Street' and they call it auction rate securities, high frequency trading, special investment vehicles, and credit default swaps.
This is nothing more than criminal activity being cloaked as finance. Flash trading? Come on, let's beat the gaming table. It's a rigged casino, the little guy always loses..."
And if you don't think the House has rigged all the casino games, read this form ZeroHedge.com...
"Absolute Perfection: Goldman only lost money on one trading day in Q3."
"Goldman lost money on just one trading day in Q3, making money on all the other 64..."
They've raided the US Treasury and bankrupted the nation.
The Chinese know it, the Russians know it, the Indians know it.
The entire world, except America, knows it.
They looted Social Security & Medicare, and now they are rolling out an IMF imposed austerity and rationing system in broad daylight, and calling it "Health Care reform" and you morons are buying it.
Did you read the CBO numbers?
Did you listen to what former Comptroller General David Walker said?
"TAX RATES would need to be raised by "substantial" amounts to finance projected spending. Specifically, "the TAX rate for the lowest bracket would have to be increased from 10 percent to 25 percent; the TAX rate on incomes in the current 25 percent bracket would have to be increased to 63 percent; and the TAX rate of the highest bracket would have to be raised from 35 percent to 88 percent.
The top corporate income TAX rate would also increase from 35 percent to 88 percent."[4]
"Such TAX RATES would significantly reduce economic activity and would create serious problems with TAX avoidance and tax evasion. Revenues would probably fall significantly short of the amount needed to finance the growth of spending; therefore, TAX RATES at such levels would probably not be economically feasible."[5]
-----------
The CBO just admitted that it is "economically infeasible" to raise income tax rates high enough to service our debt and unfunded liabilities.
I want you to pause here for a moment.
Read that last paragraph from the CBO one more time.
And remember that those comments were BEFORE last September's financial collapse and $23.7 trillion in new bailouts and banker backstops.
What don't you understand about what the CBO said in that last paragraph?
America is bankrupt, and there is no way to deliver upon the promise of social security, medicare and medicaid.
And the CBO said that BEFORE the $23.7 trillion in new bailouts and backstops, and the 22% collapse in Federal Tax revenues and recent shortfalls in Social Security funding.
And it's not just the CBO...
Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker told the truth over a year ago with his appearance on 60 Minutes.
David Walker quote on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid:
"These are massive entitlement programs we can no longer afford.
If we do deliver on the benefits, there will be no money for national defense, homeland security, or education.
"The Medicare Problem is 5 times greater than the Social Security Problem."
No money for the military-industrial complex and Homeland Security - if we "try" to pay the benefits promised and paid for by the American people.
Hmmm?
They either default on "our" benefits, or they default on "theirs."
Which option do you think they've chosen?
What the hell do you think Cap & Trade is all about?
Read what the CBO said in plain and simple english people...
Taxes need to over double just to fund the government's ongoing Homeland Security and Military Industrial complex spending.
They know they can't raise income tax rates that high, so they need a new taxing system, one that the sheeple won't perceive as "taxes"... a system they can sell to the majority, so they can loot the remaining wealth from the minority.
..and yes, that means you - you aren't special.
Is America REALLY this damn dumb, this brain washed, this indoctrinated with talking points from "their" team?
Sadly - yes, they are.
And that's going to be the game changer of our lifetime.
The window will soon close and the herd will be divided between victims and survivors, and then the culling will begin.
And gold will NOT be the simple solution many think it will.
It's game over.
TILT!
This isn't a bailout, this is a cover up.
All they're doing is buying time and distance from the scene of the crime.
Can America really be this damn stupid?
This apathetic?
This deep in denial and in avoidance of reality?
These thieving bastards have bankrupted the nation and destroyed the dollar.
They've outsourced your jobs and bankrupted your pension plans
They created the easy money, debt & credit housing bubble.
They got Congress and the SEC to remove all limits and regulation while Greenspan gave them all the gasoline they needed to ignite the FIRE economy.
They made billions on securitizing all the toxic mortgage paper and then offloading it to Fannie & Freddie, pension plans and insurance companies.
Then they went short the very paper they just sold to everyone...
The hell with being politically correct, these are criminals who own and control Congress, and all the regulatory governmental agencies.
Quit calling them bankers and quit calling it high finance.
These are thieves who are running a crooked casino and who have bribed and bought off all the gaming officials, casino inspectors, and government officials.
Wall Street is a financial Mafia - period.
If Wall Street was run by Italians, Hollywood would be cranking out the "Bankster Gangster" trilogy as we speak.
And if the government won't do something about it, maybe we ought to do something about the government?
Maybe it's time for the political ruling class to be removed. Maybe it's finally time to cleanse Washington and send Barney Frank and Chris Dodd packing. And it's not just the Democrats, it's the Republicans who filled thier pockets with an average of $3.5 million of lobbyist money per member of Congress in 2008 alone.
Believe Sen. Dick Durbin when he tells you the bankers own and control Congress.
And if I was a Goldman executive, it's not the government, or the Rolling Stone that I'd be worrying about, it would be these people...
The people they screwed out of their jobs, their 401K's, and their homes.
Because not only do these people know how to use the one million new guns a month they've been buying... they also know how to use google maps. And it's not like the Hampton's, or Central Park West are the "Eagle's Nest."
You'd better get up off the counch America. It's time to put down the remote control and turn of Sports Channel, and get politically active.
Because this is your future America, if you don't...
Sharecropers upon the land your forefathers fought, bled, and died for.
Sure Jon Stewart is the truth teller and Glenn Beck just makes stuff up right? Glenn Beck is one of the few pointing out the facts.
Elevate the discussion? Lets pretend all is normal. The boy-child is leading the world now and all is good as long as noone looks too closely and puts it all together. Along comes Glenn Beck who does just that. Puts the puzzle together. That is now a form of treason.
