You've heard the arguments:
- If we audit the Federal Reserve (which has violated the Federal Reserve Act and other laws), that is a “line that we don’t want to cross,” and it would be “problematic for the country”, according to Tim Geithner
- If we indict those who committed torture (which violates U.S. law and the Geneva convention), then the U.S. will face a terrorist attack, according to a group of senators
Doesn't this sound a wee bit like the old protection racket scam?
"We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, now would we?"
Well hell yes I want someone to get hurt. Let' start with the whold cabinet group who met and discussed what tortures would be used individual by individual. A war crime if there ever was one. We fried the Nazi's who claimed to be just following orders and we fried the freaks who gave them. What's sauce for the gander is juice for the goose. Get the needles ready
ReplyDeletePrecisely right.
ReplyDeleteHey, G: have you written an article on monetary reform or whatever your suggested policy response is from our current psychopathological construct? I know you've pointed people to Ellen Brown's work, but can't recall or find a more specific policy recommendation.
