Did destroying our economy give criminals more power & wealth?

So, let's recap. Read the previous blog entries for the links to the news stories. Wall Street firms (ie, international organized crime):

- engineered the housing and debt bubble

- spent laviscously on US politicians

- received more bailout money than they are worth from the US taxpayer

- are being further bought up by international organized crime and the war profiteering, defense/security company super-VC, the Carlyle Group

This was the largest bank robbery in our history -- a stone cold blow from Wall Street/international organized crime and none of the leaders in charge stopped it -- most, including Barack Obama, John McCain and George Bush, pushed it through, and very few spoke out against it. An overwhelming number of Americans that called their represenatives last fall to protest it.

The result:

- prices are going to go way up while salaries are not

- The same war profiteers and international crime networks that put up the neocons now have even more power and wealth, thus the far right-wing, which politically includes both Netanyahu and Ahmadinejad, continues to see a growth in power, despite recent assumptions that the election of Barack Obama would reverse all of this.

Here is a simple explanation of a part of the economic aspects of this crisis, but not the criminal or political aspects. Note that it also does not discuss the massive knockout punch that are Credit Default Swaps; insurance policies on the mortgage mess that payed out when it all collapsed.

Call Congress. Tell them you know about the bank robbery, that the nation isn't quite as out of the loop as they think and demand they start addressing it. We should be calling often. I'll keep this number posted somewhere.
