"There Will Be Violence, Mark My Words"

[boutons_deux]

At the end of the day, the convulsion to come won't really be about Wall Street's derivatives malefactions, or its subprime fun and games, or rogue trading, or the folly of banks. It will be about this society's final opportunity to rip away the paralyzing shackles of corruption or else dwell forever in a neofeudal social order. You might say that 1384 has replaced 1984 as our worst-case scenario. I have lived what now, at 75, is starting to feel like a long life. If anyone asks me what has been the great American story of my lifetime, I have a ready answer. It is the corruption, money-based, that has settled like some all-enveloping excremental mist on the landscape of our hopes, that has permeated every nook of any institution or being that has real influence on the way we live now. Sixty years ago, if you had asked me, on the basis of all that I had been taught, whether I thought this condition of general rot was possible in this country, I would have told you that you were nuts. And I would have been very wrong. What has happened in this country has made a lie of my boyhood.

Yes indeed. In addition to the above voices, I would like to add economist Michael Hudson (http://michael-hudson.com/), who offers similar warnings.

Not at all, but I love your concern for me.

Keep being happy, You're Gonna Hate Being Poor, I Guarantee It.

You have no evidence to counter the above insider's view of how the UCA is really controlled and operated.

Has anybody else noted that the CC issuers, laid low for a couple years after THEIR Banksters' Great Depression, are now back on the TV and in your mailbox trying to sucker you into usurious debt?

And if you don't pay, they sell your debt to the knee-capping collection mafia who land you in debtors' prison if you miss the letter about the court appearance.

the CC issuers set up in states where their are no anti-usury laws so they can circumvent the states that have anti-usury laws.

btw, when/if states lose state regulation over for-profit health-insurers, the health insurers will retreat to the states with the most favorable/corrupt regulators and worst insurance rules so they can sell policies in the states with good insurance rules.

All these dumbfuck bubba/duped Human-Americans whining about Big Govt and States' Rights, when Corporate-Americans are the real enemy and can fuck states rights (usury and insurance rules) with impunity.
