Flashback: Smart Obama and Dumb Bush gave 700 billion to Economic Terrorist "Banksters [who] have Robbed well over $100 Billion Dollars from Taxpayers"

"Since when is threatening the detonation of the economy unless 700 billion is handed over immediately not economic terrorism."
Market Ticker reported:
This is a serious issue for all Americans, since allegedly the "fourth
estate", that is, the media, is supposed to be a check and balance on
government (and corporate) behavior. But what happens when the media is
the corporation? When conglomerates become entwined in the news system
to the point that anything that would go against the corporation is
suppressed by that very same media? When editorial independence is
lost?
I have (as have others) heard CNBS anchors "slip" in the
past and say things on the air that strongly hint (or outright state)
that their producers don't want a certain slant covered. One wonders
whether that producer just had their phone ring - and it was the
executive offices of GE on the other end.
Let's be clear: These
banksters have robbed well over $100 billion dollars from taxpayers and
citizens via various schemes in the last decade. These scams have
included securitizing loans that they either knew or should have known
were laced with fraud, in some cases shorting them while selling them on
to other people. It includes outrageously-complex and
intentionally-obfuscated securities "packages" for municipalities which
have resulted in huge losses for the town (and huge fees and profits for
the bank.) It has included marketing "auction rate" securities which
were claimed to be as liquid and safe as cash, when in fact nothing of
the sort was true. The schemes and scams run the gamut but at their
core was the intentional obfuscation of the true nature of the risk
embedded in these instruments so that the dupe (that would be you, your
town, your state) would wind up losing money all for their benefit: you
would enter into a complex swap transaction you didn't understand, you'd
buy a bubble house with an OptionARM after being told you "definitely"
could refinance before payments would go up, your kid was sold an
expensive educational loan package without being told that it was unable
to be discharged in bankruptcy, you were given a credit card with 27
pages of fine print, and buried somewhere in there was vague language
letting the company jack your interest rate to anything it wanted -
including the 36% it did jack it to - if you missed an electric bill by
three days.
Then, when the game of musical chairs ended and all
this debt that could not possibly be paid off started to default these
very same banksters went to Congress through Paulson and Bernanke, the
chiefs of the bankster scam parade, and in my opinion literally
committed economic terrorism: hand over $2 trillion dollars hiding all
but $700 billion, or we detonate the entirety of the economy and
everyone literally starves.
How does this differ from an
old-fashioned Al-Quaida terrorist who calls in a nuclear bomb threat?
"Hand over $2 trillion dollars or New York City will be vaporized."
Hmmmmm... sounds kinda like the same thing to me!
Now
let's juxtapose this with the fact that every Congressperson took an
oath to defend The Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and
domestic.
So riddle me this my fellow Americans: How is it that
Bernanke, Paulson, Geithner, and both Presidents Bush and Obama are
still free men instead of being housed at GITMO? How is it that on that
fateful night in September of 2008 when Bernanke and Paulson "briefed"
Congress and demanded $700 billion in ransom and a blank check to
back-door an unlimited amount in "guarantees" and "pass-throughs" to
their banking buddies the Sargeant At Arms was not immediately called to
place these goons under arrest pending indictment and prosecution?
The
next question is equally obvious and leads one down some pretty
disturbing paths: If there is NOT ONE man or woman Congress who will
discharge THEIR oath of office, is there anyone left in this country who
took an identical oath that will?
Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis's Amoris Laetitia.
