Subject: BS: over active imagination From: Donuel Date: 27 Sep 13 - 10:49 AM The democracy thread got me to thinking in the context of the mood in pre shut down DC recently. Democracy is the sworn enemy of Corporatism, corporate fascism and the plutocracy. Right now you could cite at least 5 examples of how corporations have gamed the system in order to overcome democracy in Congress, in the environment, in voting and in finance. There are fewer piles of money to steal lately except for the Treasury not. *You must remember this; a fist is just a fist, a lie is just a lie. The fundamental things of theft as time goes by.* Not to wake the sleeping dogs but I owe it to people made of stern stuff to warn them what is capable, while not likely, of happening in as little as 2 1/2 weeks. As if we need another conspiracy theory. Shut down aside, when the debt limit extortion scheme goes through there are trillionaire vultures about to tear into the carcass of the US treasury once again. This is how; Hedge funds, Goldman Sachs and other giants are now actually buying and selling CREDIT DEEFAULT SWAPS on the US Treasury note! I for one consider this would be a financial terrorist act. Executive FDR like action should be considered in controlling what I think is being attempted. None of what is going on right now is really about the affordable care plan except as a distraction or decoy. It is about another economic robbery scheme. This time if the faith in the dollar turns into a sell off of swaps betting on failure of the US Treasury note, failure could snowball out of fear and turn into an Argentine inflation game and the wealthy could buy up the remaining real estate, banks and business' after people sell to afford food. [worst case scenario] Best case scenario is that rational minds prevail, fear takes a holiday and all the shut downs and defaults get turned off before they begin. A true democracy would prevail in such financial take over attempts. But do we have a true democracy, of course not. WordTTW Dismiss this as pure imagination or not. What remains is the fact that CDS's are now being placed on the US treasury note. Will the world's super wealthy be able to Hold Back from buying Credit default swaps on the full faith and credit of the US? Good news,they just might if they are heavy with treasury notes along with a myriad of other factors. Besides what currency is a better alternative, Marks? Nah that sounds too much like an Odessa file 2013 script. |

Subject: RE: BS: over active imagination From: Don Firth Date: 27 Sep 13 - 02:15 PM A couple of days ago I heard the statistic that 400 people possess one-half of the country's wealth! If the wealthy would simply pay their fair share of taxes, this country could join the rest of the civilized nations of the world. This is not a democracy, it is a corporatocracy. It is only one tiny step from what Benito Mussolini envisioned as Fascism, represented by the "fasces" symbol: a bundle of rods tied around a battle axe. "The rods," said Mussolini, "represent the corporations. The axe represents the power of government. The two act as one." Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: over active imagination From: Donuel Date: 27 Sep 13 - 04:58 PM Rich Megalomaniacs gone wild have been the plot of every Bond Film made. I hope that reality won't imitate art in this case of default swapping the treasury note. As for the rich, they would be richer in a faster economy and a smaller share than a huge share of a dead economy. \But the rich like a monkey stuck in a coconut trap, they won't let go of the morsel even though a feast is nearby. |
