Malcolm X's quote on Democrats and Republicans
Without really commenting on any of the previous posts ...
Looking a bit deeper into the false left/right paradigm ...
In a broader sense, what is a *Nation State without an economy?
(*federalist republic/democracy, monachical/democracy, neo-feudalism)
Alan Greenspan, Bob Rubin, Larry Summers, Lloyd Blankfein, James Dimon,
Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner ...
Whether or not they are simply the most visable representitives of the
underlying institutions that drive this country's - ( a global degree further
when the anglo-instrumented IMF/WB are included ) - policies, their
institution's affiliations with the political parties can be described as - both.
History shows that the Fed., the Treasury, and Wall St. are intimately
involved no matter what party is in or out.
A partial list of their attributes :
1. Gross denial of any moral damage caused by their rampant greed.
2. Narcissistic egomaniacs with secret "God complexes".
Although Blankfein's is rather public now that he stated he's doing God's work.
3. Paranoid obsessives about secrecy, guilt and non-disclosure.
Notice the $100's of millions recently spent lobbying for no added regulations
or continued non-transparency of credit derivatives. "Dark opaque pools
create better pricing."
4. Power hungry need to control government through Trojan horses.
Like we now see in Dubai ... those bonds are likely non-compliant with
Sharia law, but that's another story... or more relavent to us, the too big
to fail bailout ... of which Kashkari now admits he pulled $700B. out of a hat.
I remember when W. went on primetime to threaten us that if we didn't
allow D.C. to stick another of it's hands into our pockets - the financial
world would collapse.
How we have de-evolved over the last one hundred years, I thought.
They did this with the crash of 1907 to gain power with a public/private
colluded financial entity - now they just want our cash.
5. Borderline personalities who regularly ignore conflicts of interest.
The examples are many but this would be one of my favorites :

The main point that I always keep in mind is that the operational instrument
that's "hardwired" into the current economic system, and therefore
the Nation State -that is- the leadership of both parties, is FRAUD.
Think Brooksley Born.
The N.Y. stock exchange has fraud "hardwired" into it.
The accounting methodoligies of the banks have fraud "hardwired" into them.
The globalist investment/business (which includes the military in some cases)
model has fraud "hardwired into it and as evidenced, the federal government
is intimately involved.
So when you bend down - or over, depending on your perspective - in
submission to the self-proclaimed experts in order to solve the crisis that
they created ...
(Crony capitalism on the way up, crony socialism on the way down)
... rather than authority, although they are that too, you are
submitting to criminality.
