I believe the corporate-owned media was encouraged to spread the word.<br /><br />Mike's point (if I hear him correctly) that the depressions can't be traced to individual wrongdoers buys into another great brainwash, that it's not individuals who make up a system.<br /><br />Of course, sometimes groups of people are simply self-deluded, but why would the media BE corporate-controlled if not to shape public opinion. Is it 'cause their hobby is TeeVee and they're just innocently doing what systems do? Sure, that's it. Else, I might be labeled a conspiracy theorist.

The examples you give, depending on the details, might actually be reckless homicide or manslaughter or something.<br />Also, just because there is and has been lots of fraud and corruption and a horrifying lack of law enforcement, doesn't mean the Great Depression or the current crisis were "caused" by fraud. Worsened or intensified, yes. But the Ponzi-scheme nature of the economy isn't due to some individual criminals. Wouldn't it be nice if these problems were just caused by specific evildoers not following the rules? That's kind of a reassuring idea -- but it ignores the fact that there are much deeper causes which go to the basic design of the debt-based economy, as well as population growth and energy depletion.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957020536641219683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-7629756832161500752011-03-01T16:44:56.657-08:002011-03-01T16:44:56.657-08:00Keiser's also got an excellent interview with ...Keiser's also got an excellent interview with Gerald Celente. Don't know if it's part 1, 2 or 3, but Celente mentions the power of the internet and how five years ago nobody had the foggiest idea about what or who the Federal Reserve was. Suddenly... well, people are starting to connect the dots.<br /><br />Was there when I started to get interested about 9/11, and began to connect the dots.<br /><br />Started to connect the dots with Iraq too, long ago. Sure, Curveball, a real straight shooter.<br /><br />Now, I get the feeling people are moving beyond the dots and are staring to pull the threads together, hence Sunstein's fear of conspiracy theories.<br /><br />All in one day I hear Celente saying people are wising up to the Federal reserve (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny6YI2JCP9Q&feature=player_embedded); Paul Craig Roberts weaving Taibbi, the Bush/Chenney destruction of civil liberties and the Kennedy assassination into one article (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27589.htm); and Gilad Atzmon on the Zionist Promised Planet (http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/silvia-cattori-an-interview-with-gilad-atzmon-to-call-a-spad.html).<br /><br />There's a change coming! And it ain't got nothing to do with al-Qaeda, not a peep out of them in North Africa.<br /><br />Luisluishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009410840042842763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-32243364525933803912011-03-01T16:26:14.745-08:002011-03-01T16:26:14.745-08:00Addendum:

Others assured me that I was not 'seeing things'.<br /> England proper claimed no jurisdiction over their 'protectorates' banking activities when England felt like it. This was just the drug markets and Hendrix's problems, so legal claims were of a limited nature. This money-ratline system has developed into a complex (but not too complex), stable system of looting and exporting of filthy lucre like so many bails of hay. <br /> <br /> N.Greenspan originally claimed 'derivatives' to only be a minor band-aid technique for minor book balancing and openly 'expressed dismay' at the explosive derivatives market which ensued. Yes, the same Greenspan who said,"the Fed is above the law."<br /> This system legally permitted and facilitated trades of truckloads of pie-in-the sky for hard-earned cash. The cash went bye-bye and the scrip sits in the office down the street.<br /> Combine this with the fact that recently over the course of months, computerized high- velocity trading instead of creative markets of actual trade and commerce made up over 50% of all Wall street trades, with each share traded issuing a cash commission to its trader, and you get an open and shut case of systemic fraud that a grade school class could understand. <br /> The snarling arrogance of the perps is matched by Robert Kaluza, the attending engineering supervisor at the DH well for BP leading up to the blow-out. The Wall Street crowd produces nothing and figures ways to scam, not produce, to get rich. They make the stock market look viable and devour the wood like termites, collecting a cash commission for every trade, regardless of impact, on top of 'fees'. I like that word, 'fees'. Fortunately, they (the termites) need airholes. We can detect their presence,IF WE LOOK,and spray them and repair the wood, IF WE GET OFF OUR FAT ASS.<br /> God Bless America. Have a nice day. Except you Congress. You can go to hell.<br /> <br /> Back to paragraph one; the SEC is still controlled by the Skull and Bones crowd, which has been loyal to England, NOT THE U.S. for over 300 years. (See The Jolly Roger Flag, Heinrich Himmler's little hat, Sir Henry Morgan, Bluebeard, et al.)<br /> The pirates have boarded, you civilian imbeciles, and they are quickly taking over the ship. NOT boat, SHIP-OF-STATE! TURN OFF YOUR TV SET!!! And to military personnel, PLEASE turn off your TV sets.Howard T. Lewis IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510799883857981986noreply@blogger.com
