Birmingham - the new Greece

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/32906678/looting_main_street/1

Follow the above link to an excellent expose by Matt Tabibi of Rolling Stone regarding the financial take down of Jefferson County, Alabama. The level of ludicrousness of the parties involved is, well, ludicrous! And yes, it really is the usual suspects at work - JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and of course the required victim/enablers (local government reps). The ultimate victim obviously though is the Jefferson County resident taxpayer.

In any event, this is representative of what is happening worldwide...the rape and pillaging of all manner of civilization. And this is not just the banks doing this...it is the governments that are in bed with the banks that are perpetrating this disaster. Both are to blame....

Wall Street's Bailout Hustle by Matt Taibbi

Who knew? I guess, like Playboy, Rolling Stone does have good articles occasionally?

I actually came across this article at lewrockwell.com and was so fascinated by it that I followed the link through to read it in its entirety. Wow! The sham and scam that the Wall Street banksters are engaged in makes murders like Ted Bundy look like absolute benevolent socialites! Incredible. This behavior though, I hope, will sooner or later result in Main Street storming the Bastille of Wall Street...looking for repayment, in blood if necessary. And I truly hope it is sooner...

Are You Ready For The Coming Obama Retirement Trap? by Ron Holland

Are You Ready For The Coming Obama Retirement Trap? by Ron Holland

The author of this article is a retirement specialist and that, of course, may color his outlook. That said, I can find no quarrel with his analysis regarding the legitimacy of the national debt accrued in the name of the people and yet for the benefit of a minuscule few. Even now I am picking up word that the Fed is contemplating bailing out Greece from its debt crisis...WHY? Although I don't have the info at hand, I am willing to bet it may be because certain US financial institutions may have interests in a bailout... Say, institutions such as Goldman Sachs? It is bullshit and I for one am willing to rationally consider exit strategies for the sovereign states as legitimate vehicles to escape the tyranny of the federal government and its cabal of illegitimate financiers.

Good God...the more I read and hear, the more disturbed I become, recognizing that to some sick extent, we live in a world that is distressingly like the Matrix. There is the projected/perceived reality and then, there is cold, hard reality. That splash of reality in the face is a refreshing (depressing) wake-up call that our country and liberty are at stake...
