“They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
Since we’re too independent, America must be led to fall
When our credit’s been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
They’ll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast
Traitor…Dare call it treason”

My goodness…that site lol yes what is really happing here, it’s so in the open but almost as if main stream leaves the few goodies out of the picture so the numbers turn out way lower…it’s not just bad that the majority recieved money for this bill and voted on it based on this but the fact that both sides yes and no recieved money to hopefully pass the vote and look at last night the majority won I guess now friday we will see the same thing it will go through

I’m from the UK and following the bailout vote closely

The Agenda does not take NO for an answer. Congress have said ‘no’ so the vote for the bailout will continue until Congress says YES.

Evil bastards!

I overheard a bank lobbyist–(he said he was from Husch, Sanders, Blackwell,a law-lobby firm)drunk at a (public) bar in Omaha laughing about how the bailout will be a boon for lobbying politicians voting on this financial apocalypse. He bragged that he had worked in Washington,D.C., with “the Abramoff guys..” and waxed about the good old days in 2002-2004 in Jack’s own DC reastaurant, where he ‘learned the ropes…’ of lobbying(bribing?) how this was the ‘mother of all funds…$700 billion…more than the Iraq war IN A WEEK…” This is what the country is facing—filthy lucre in the hands of the gonifs of finance. This has to be stopped if this is what I overhear in public about the ‘participants’ in this mess. Is Hank Paulson going to write checks on papers drawn up by these(lobbyists and bankers) pigs at the public trough? You betcha. When I heard this I grabbed for my wallet…

Democracy died decades ago ..I am 37 and have truly never witnessed any People influence in world affairs…We have been silenced gagged threatened and held hostage by Crimal interest.

I am extremely surprised at the fact that nobody has questioned why politicians raise and spend such vast sums of money to get elected.
According to opensecrets.org the latest figures for those still in the running for next months Presidential elections are
$ raised $ spent
Baldwin 96,000 87,000
Barr 855,000 796,000
McCain 230,000,000 194,000,000
McKinney 0 0
Nader 3,000,000 3,000,000
Obama 454,000,000 3777,000,000
All of this just to get a fairly low paying job with great responsibility for just 4 years and a maximum of 8. If elected the incumbent must place their personal and business life of hold for the duration of that tenure.
Mainstream media appears to believe that donations raised are a guide to the popularity of a candidate.
A rule of thumb that I have found is that the more a product or service is advertised the worse that product or service is.
When it comes to the Congress and House of Representatives there is no limit on the number of terms anyone can do. It is a known fact that most voters do not know anything about who they are voting for and take the lazy option of voting for the incumbent if they vote at all.
Looking at the television images of those representing the people of America most of them would have retired quietly if in private industry.

Alex is like a brother , even though we haven’t met. I work hard at my job and when I come home, I like to download the latest interview and check in with the site, but in all honesty all these moving adds are distracting and I find it offensive.

I am on line with turning our backs on the financial injustices that we have been enduring for far to long.
Sound currency run by the people.Striking their bill fold, rendered powerless.
The money manipulaters will crash the market swiftly if they don”t recieve bailout, if they do recieve our money there will be a perfectly gradualized resession.Contraction of credit is also reaccumulation .If you look at a long term price chart of let’s say the dow.A period of 40 -60 years the booms and bust can be visualized . A 50% retracement often occurs after each significant bottom or top hence the prediction of the dow hitting 5000 pnts.The markets are being falsely supported through organized buying and selling and the publics the bait.The men in suits always get back thier goods so they can sell them back to you.

Whoa, what?!

You mean that politicians merely support whoever gives them money to run for office?

We live in a plutocracy, people. The people that control the wealth, control the politicians, control the media and control anything else of significance in this truly broken society.

The beauty of the situation is that all we need to do is start using a viable alternative currency and their power disappears. Social Viability has this very solution.
