Suddenly,
out of nowhere, a $14 trillion economy collapsed and we were once
again inundated with the sounds of terror emanating from a corporate
owned media. There’s another possibility that we don’t seem to be
able to consider while tales of personal tragedy and threats of
disaster are bombarding our senses. Perhaps this recession was not a
result of bad legislation, bank mismanagement of money, or a lack of
regulation at all, but was created in order to transfer wealth and
consolidate more government control.
We
have been told that this disaster was the result of many things, but
have we actually seen proof that these things occurred or, if they
did, were they big enough to have such a disastrous effect? $14
trillion is a lot of economic power to be so suddenly and completely
overrun.
Legislators have told us that Paulson and
Bernanke came to them and told them that a $500 billion run on the
banks suddenly occurred out of the blue. The banks would have been
drained of $4 trillion in a matter of hours if they had not clamped
down on the run, they said. These Wall Street representatives
brought no proof that this had actually occurred, but our
legislators believed them anyway and began to panic
once again putting in motion the process that would
end up transferring the first trillion dollars worth of taxpayer
wealth.
A derivative
disaster suddenly appeared leading to media discussions of
regulated asset backed securities and the mostly unregulated,
private, and secret contracts that greedy bankers had struck leaving
them exposed and subject to enough suspicion that no one wanted
to loan them any money. Economists and Wall
Street experts jumped on the bandwagon and spewed spittle
on the nation’s TV screens in their excitement to be
able to display their expertise. News of the existence of $500 trillion
and even a $quadrillion worth of these secret dealings began to
suddenly surface. While derivatives certainly exist and some of them are regulated,
secret is the key word and we have no actual proof
that derivatives exist in the amounts that they are claiming. These
are private contracts protected under the 4th Amendment
and we have no right to see them, they say. We only
have the right to give them money. They getting money from a
bank without exposing your private paperwork. $500 trillion is a lot of
paperwork.
In the wake of the burst of the Fed created .com
bubble
, the Fed
lowered the interest rate and, complicit with federal regulation,
created the housing bubble. People who never dreamed of owning a
home suddenly had their American Dream awakened overriding their
ability to reason and were exploited by mortgage brokers, who don’t
get paid unless they generate a mortgage, selling them ARMs that the
brokers and the lenders who accepted them absolutely knew would
fail. Ads circulated saying, “No credit check and no employment or
earnings verification”, and homes were sold to victims at prices
that exceeded all logic. These bad mortgages were immediately passed
off to Fannie and Freddie and the taxpayers were forced to assume
responsibility. The unbiased corporate owned media is now turning
the public against these people who were exploited by showing angry
people correctly saying, “I should not have to pay for other
people’s bad decisions”. Wise sounding journalist entertainers say,
“How about it, Bob. Should the American taxpayer be forced to pay
for the bad decisions of others?” No mention is made of making the
people who knowingly exploited American taxpayers pay. If it is
brought up, they will only scream, “You want us to pay? We are
broke! We were victimized as well! You just had to give us trillions
of dollars in order to save yourselves!”
There
is no doubt that these bad mortgages failed after the lenders raised
the interest rates so high that they couldn’t be paid, but what
proof do we have that bankers who are experts in financial matters
were so stupid as to create a such a mass of secret derivatives,
based on mortgages that they knew were bad, that they would be
brought them to their knees? How does the failure of 5% of the
mortgages in existence destroy a $14 trillion economy and seize up
an international banking industry? "Well, look. I can explain it to
you", they will say. "I am an expert."
This may seem too involved and complicated of a
scheme to put together, but it does not involve that many components
and if you study the Great Depression, you will find that it was
caused by manipulation of the money supply and prolonged by massive government
spending
.
Five major banks control the banking industry and the families that
run them have been best friends forever for well over a century.
When you consider how much of this economic disaster has been
created in secret, you should at least wonder.
Ben Bernanke, representing these BFF, is now
predicting that the recession will end this year. How could this
happen? If it does, instead of being grateful, be very angry because
you will then know that you were once again ripped off. Do not
congratulate yourself when they say, “Look! The trillions of dollars
you gave us worked!”, because you will still be paying and your
children will pay and their children will pay and their children
will pay and -----
