DRANT # 322: NOBODY KNOWS NUTHIN

"---what we have is --- a continuation of a transfer of wealth. This whole government has become nothing more than a big machine that transfers the wealth upwards with our tax policies, our energy policies, with fiscal policies, with the war. All the wealth of the country goes from the pockets of the people into the hands of a few. This is a very dangerous moment. You know, it's the biggest amount of injection of capital by the government in a single time since the New Deal. And frankly, there is no trickle down here. There's just rewarding bad behavior---" Rep. Dennis Kucinich on Democracy Now The world-renowned financial expert Larry Berra (aka Yogi) had this to say about the world's (supposed) economic crisis: "In baseball ya don't know nuthin." Egggzackly. None of us don't know nuthin'-- but we do know this: They ALL suck. Us included. They gave away 680 Billion of our dollars yesterday, and we never made a sound. This included giving Bush another 70 billion for the wars, and stilllll nobody as much as honked a kazoo. They transfused a slew more vampire banks with our blood money, and not a squawk outta us. And did you watch the charade of controversy on TV today ? As if - there was one ? Do you think that The Pelosi would bring the bailout bill to the floor for a vote without knowing how the vote would go ? To make super sure, she took time off from her botox treatments (her lips were barely able to move) long enough to make a dumdum partisan speech just before the vote. She knew it was going down. They all did. It was planned. This was World Championship Wrestling in jackets and ties and ladies' power suits. What we saw today was the usual Bullshit Ballet, promoting the fiction that there are two opposing parties, that no they don't all work for The (same) Man, pimping the bombastic bubbemeise that there is a desperate financial crisis which can only be solved by Us sending even more of Our money to Them, and that they had to pass this bill (for our sake) before the sun set or our ATMs and Visa cards would crumble to dust. Americans watched mesmerized and fearful as the Dow-Jones Industrial Average lost 777 points. The cablenews double-chinned whities argued and moaned and pontificated endlessly -- as if the Dow was some kind of wildly bleeping vital signs monitor in the emergency room of the economy. The Dow is irrelevant. What's relevant is that people have lost their lives and their homes and jobs, and been bankrupted by medical bills, not that a pre-selected list of stocks goes up or down because a skyscraper of Little Eichmanns program their computers to sell the instant some inscrutable digital delta or other is reached. Millions of people foreclosed and evicted, and Congress sat. Water poured over the levees and obliterated the lives of hundreds of thousands - and Congress sat. Pensions gone, incomes decimated, jobs disappeared, lifetimes ruined, families destroyed, and Congress sat. But- when some banks and brokers started bleeding profusely from SELF-INFLICTED wounds, Congress outraced Michael Phelps himself to the rescue. Now why do you think that is ? Hmmmm, I know, it's a toughie. Well, here's a hint: all the Politicians are roostering loudly about how They are acting for Us, that this is about Main Street not Wall Street (eccccccch that's offensive) that its the average worker, the typical american, mr and mrs frozen dinner- that they really care about. Wangawangawangawangawangawangawangawangawangaaa wangwang wang ! That's the ole BS detector going completely Keith Moon ! As soon as a politician tells ya that its You that counts, RUN for your LIVES. The reason that Congress, The Government, The Media and The Police all UsainBolt to save the banks and not you is that they work for the banks and not you. Duh. And, the reason they made sure that the so-called bailout bill FAILED is- its better for them and the banks (and the government and the media and the police) if it fails. They WANT it to fail. They NEED it to fail. They do this every buncha years or so. What they create is a big fat panic-ridden, fear-driven, collapse and deflation. What they started about 15 years ago was a big fat bubble, making loans and credit cheap and available to anyone and everyone who could (or even who couldn't) sign their name, destroying crucial historic regulatory structures and all pretense of oversight, birthing new forms of creating money, value, and wealth from thin air, printing dollars without ink, paper or printer, and evading morality, responsibility and taxes simultaneously. They are doing just fine with ongoing unregulated de facto bailouts - Freddie or Frankie or Fifi or whatever -- AIG, Bear Stearns, Washington Mutual, Wachovia, and now the auto companies, and whoknowswhats next. Billions in bailouts, no votes, no scrutiny, no debate, no oversight. So what the hell did they need this current "bailout" bill for ? They needed it to fail. Its a public lynching of our trust and confidence and security. Created to induce fear and panic. They are not only killing the body of the bailout, but they are gonna be sure and let it swing from the tree for a good while so all us folks can see what happens when ya mess with Massuh. And then, when we predictably raise our voices in pain, and anger and humiliation, or yell about having our votes stolen-- they already have the troops in place- primed and at the ready to quell any "civil unrest" by the disenfranchised or financially disemboweled.
