World’s Money Men Winning the Jackpot of OUR money

The experts tell us there will be another “bloodbath” on Wall Street today. There may be, or it may be another “dead cat bounce”. All that matters is that the American public was told if the big 700 billion dollar bailout package passed, all the problems would be fixed. Anyone who bought into that line probably falls for the e-mails saying “you won the European Lottery…”

If Congress ever did its job correctly, which will happen when I win that European Lottery, they would have passed long ago all the “sweeteners” that enabled the bailout bill to rush through the House on Friday. I find it an insult on my intelligence that these people think we are all so dumb to not see what they are doing. They sit on legitimate bills that honestly help the American taxpayer and then throw them all on a doomed bailout package to pick up votes from nervous Representatives worried about re-election in their districts.

So, now that we all get to pay for wooden arrows and rum, we get the privilege of watching the government try to stop the economy from hemorrhaging by placing a band aid on the gaping wound. Within days of this latest “fix”, the wound will erupt again, pumping the very life of the country out onto the street.

Back “in the day”, they used to deliberately cut a person and drain some of their blood in hopes the diseases and toxins making the patient sick would drain out in the blood. Perhaps that is happening today in the financial sector, but there is a very high risk the economy might “bleed out”. Everyone who watches CSI knows that most murder victims die when their body loses so much blood, there is no life left in them.

The human body’s natural way to deal with wounds is for the blood to clot. Once the blood clots at the site of the wound, the bleeding stops. This is unless too much blood is lost before the clotting takes place. I happen to believe the economy could have and would have clotted on its own if the politicians promoting their own agendas had not started trying to “fix” the problem. Just exactly how much good did the Economic Stimulus checks mailed out to most of us in May and June do? I know Wal Mart and Target liked them.

That money was gone as quickly as it came, for that is what the President told Americans to do with it. It was our Patriotic duty to spend the money the government “gave” us (which was our money to begin with before we paid it in taxes). All America has to show for that money is a bunch of things. New cars, televisions, furniture and clothes are found in many family’s homes. A few extra hundred dollars are not found in too many people’s savings accounts.

Not too many months ago, we were suffering though endless weeks of $4.00 per gallon gasoline and almost $5.00 per gallon diesel. During this time, the “experts” (such as the Treasury Secretary and President) kept telling us that all was fine, even with the high fuel costs. The high price of fuel was blamed on oil being $140 per barrel. Hmmmm. Last I just checked, oil was under $90 per barrel this morning. That should translate into $2.50 per gallon gas. Last I looked, ours was still over $3.40 per gallon.

Those who through their greed want every penny they can steal from us will not stop their endless shenanigans until they manipulate markets and tax codes to get it all. Whether through increased taxes or decreased buying power; one way or another the world’s money men will not rest until they rake in their winnings like the winner of the world’s biggest poker tournament. How unfortunate it is that those winnings are our earnings.

Dead Cat Bounce or Main Street Applause; what happened to Armageddon?

So I guess we will be treated to more fun and games in Washington this week. Word has it that one way or another, the White House will have its bailout/rescue bill passed by the end of the week. However giddy this makes Wall Street, there will a price to pay by especially House Representative who end up giving in to the relentless pressure being put on them to vote correctly the next time.

Despite gaining back almost one half of what was lost yesterday, the experts are still saying that today’s upswing in the stock market is nothing but a “dead cat bounce”. Of course if the market just keeps rising after yesterday’s disaster, these same experts would say it was that the market hit rock bottom and is on the way up.

What if the upswing not only in United States markets but also those in Hong Kong and Europe was NOT due to any bouncing dead cats but a reflection of the confidence people have in the correct vote made by the majority of Representatives yesterday? What if the steep climb in the market today was due to Main Street letting Wall Street know how it really feels?

The American public does not want a bailout/rescue plan. The only ones who want it are the politicians and finance people. Most of us in these United States feel like this bill, in whatever form it takes, is being crammed down our throats by sanctimonious and arrogant officials looking down their noses at us peons saying “we know what is best for you”.

When is America going to rise up and vote these clowns out of office instead of just griping about them not doing their job? When is America going to threaten them with loss of their job if they don’t quit going against their wishes and promoting whatever advances their career instead? We the People have brought this scourge upon ourselves by re-electing the same people over and over again to supposedly represent us in Washington and then telling pollsters we only give Congress a 10% approval rating.

Where is the anger and venom directed at Senators and Representatives not doing their jobs that is directed at the President? Why is George Bush the most hated and despised President in modern history but the Congressmen and women who are even more despised never subjected to the same “throw the bum out” tantrums Mr. Bush is subjected to daily?

I am no fan of Mr. Bush and I am most certainly no fan of the United States Senate or House of Representatives; that is until yesterday. What took place yesterday was nothing short of incredible. Men and women from both parties decided to stand on what they were told the will of the people was and did not cave into the pressure of politics to vote as their leaders demanded. Yesterday’s vote proved there are still true patriots serving in Washington.

Whatever takes place this week will most certainly bring forth the desires of those who dictate who gets what in this country. Ultimately those who so boldly stood their ground yesterday will crumble under threats of defeat or death. I honestly pity the future for some of those who refuse to compromise even under direct orders to do so.

Those in the Illuminati or Bilderberg or Council of Rome or CFR or perhaps just the old New World Order will most certainly get their way by the end of the day. Whatever is passed in Washington is guaranteed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Whatever is ultimately passed will be what those who really control the decision making process in this country want passed. But at least we got to enjoy for a day the blessed glow of seeing men and women for once take a stand. God help many of them.
