TISA: Obama’s Latest Betrayal of America and Americans in Favor of the Big Banks (William K. Black)

35. No apologies necessary. You are exactly correct. It is treason. And where is Washington?

The economic elites are the beneficiaries of "money trumps peace" policies. Bartcop called them the BFEE for "Bush Family Evil Empire" and I borrowed the phrase to describe the War Party. Apart from some independence shown by Nixon and Carter, promptly rewarded by Watergate and the Ayatollah, it's been pretty much Baby War gets what Baby War wants.

Banksters who launder money, rig interest rates, and defraud homeowners are forgiven and promoted. Whistleblowers who expose offshore tax cheats and the crimes of the national security state are prosecuted. So, instead of spying on Them who are Enemies, as they are supposed to by law, the secret government turns the NSA on We the People and classifies those who point out the facts as journalists or oppose them as loyal citizens are still branded "enemies of the state." The FBI even spoke with some corporate entity or other, a Blackwater type company, about snipers shooting OCCUPY leaders.

Wikileaks and Snowden demonstrated the criminal warmongering and war profiteering at the highest levels of government. Gov. Siegelman was sent to prison by a judge who makes millions from privatized inside crony capitalist warmaking. Why these traitors and crooks aren't locked up is a question an uncorrupted Supreme Court needs to weigh. They won't, as the corrupted secret powers have controlled, largely in secret and certainly out of the evening news, the levers of government policy since November 22, 1963.
