Economy: Why They Threatened Martial Law

Yeah, it's news to me. But apparently not to those in the world of money.

Read and meep. No cats today. Cats cannot express how I feel about this adequately.

Now you know why we had a bailout. Now you know why we needed a bailout. We continue to need one. For those who think pulling your money out now is the answer — it'll be just as worthless in your hands as in the bank if the system collapses. Tough as it sounds, this is something we all need to ride out. Pretend you're reading a book that has DON'T PANIC in large, friendly letters on the cover.

Stumble It!

Another must read article by Paul B. Farrell

The lead into Paul's article:

"Yes, we're dummies. You. Me. All 300 million of us. Clueless. We should be ashamed. We're obsessed about the slogans and rituals of "democracy," distracted by the campaign, polls, debates, rhetoric, half-truths and outright lies. McCain? Obama? Sorry to pop your bubble folks, but it no longer matters who's president."

Paul mentions Naomi Klein's book, "Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism", and points out 14 reasons why main street (you and me) are loosing while Wall Street is sabatoging our democracy. Or better put, why our democracy is now a joke.

I am convinced that Obama will have a decisive win on Nov 4, however I am not convinced yet that he will be allowed to win. But even if he does win, he will either have to throw these bastards into jail or he is going to have formidable forces arrayed against him sabatoging everything he tries to do. If he can't do it, or even worse, bows to it, then our American experiment in democracy is over.

Read Paul's article. Spread it around, and get mad and vote and make sure your vote counts!
