It's Over For The Banking Cabal [View all]



The most salient point made here is the comment that these Wall Street thieves could not have acted alone. Either as a result of omission, incompetence, collusion and/or bribery, our erstwhile elected and appointed ''representatives'' are equally responsible for this sad state of affairs. Few of the elected guardians of our civil liberties have raised any alarms, nor have they sought any corrective or CRIMINAL prosecutory actions. Lest they stifle the flow of cash coming into their campaign coffers. And the appointed ones desire to retire to cushy jobs in the future, on some fancy board of directors. No doubt on one of the very firms they now ''regulate.''

Now, I am on record as having stated previously that you cannot fixed cancer. You can't tweak it. You can't mollify it. You can't reason with it. You can't regulate it. You have to cutoff its blood supply, and then cut it out or it will spread and kill its host. That is cancer's nature. And what has taken over our system of governance is now cancer at the terminal stage. Even if we stop the spread now, there is no guarantee the patient won't die from the ravages inflicted thusfar. But if we don't arrest these bastards and shut down these firms now, death will surely come.

- And it could be argued that we will have gotten exactly what we deserved for standing idly by and doing little to nothing to stop it.....
