The shining example of such condition is the whole GOP administration Y2001-2008’

Medical Dictionary
I feel so rich. I can bail out the whole investment industry. Turns out I have 700 billion dollars. No, I still owe my mortgage payments to the bank and all my bills etc. but I also own 2000 McDonalds pies for life and I have lots of power. Lots. If only I could see that money. OK, not 700 billion, just 70, 7, 0.7, 0.007. I would no want no mo, like Jim says in that book above. I feel like him. Just a little caveat: I don’t own myself. I am being blackmailed and all the President’s Men cannot help me. Homeland Security, Ahoy! They want my money or else… In all countries and in all languages if someone wants your money or else.. that is called BLACKMAIL! If someone comes out and says that if you do not give him your money NOW he would make your life a living Hell you reach for a shotgun. Only here we reach for our wallets. No, I can tell you- it is tough to be rich- too many blackmailers around.
BTW, I know where that magic 700 number came from. It came from the Godfather III. Remember, there the Archbishop told Michael Corleone about his 700 million (you have to forgive the Vatican Bank, they are not that daring) deficit. And remember what Michael did? He loaned 600 for .. the control of the Immobilare- the largest private real estate consortzium in Europe. Hey, Michael knew his business. Why don’t we? Why don’t we use an opportunity?
Why doesn't our baldy Mr. Paulson come to us and say, ‘My fellow- Americans. Here is a real chance for you. Those bastards (here come the names) are in trouble. We are in charge. They want us to guarantee their bad loans. Let’s use that money we have as a bait. Let’s say we have a pool of money and open a bid. Every bastard, fat cat, investing king who does not want to go belly-up should come to us, open the damned books and plead his case. And we, your dogs will be merciless demanding restructuring, accountability and huge interests. And we would be bad, real bad. And it all will be open to the public so that people will see where the money goes and how. And we will guarantee that all the profits and proceeds of that will go to the alternative energy and infrastructure for 10 upcoming years. And we will go for those predators who will use an opportunity to stifle the credit system and we will hang them high.’
You know why Mr. P. will never do anything like that? Because he serves not us. He serves them. And he is a spokesman for extortionists, nothing more.
But why would I say that? Because when you have a trillion dollar war on your hands you do not say that the economy is strong. That is called Human Coprophagia, a deliberate madness stage and no Gardisil can help here. Not a chance.
Watch your Godfather III. In it Lucesi says ,’Finance is a gun. Politics is a guide when to pull the trigger.’ Wise man he was before he was killed by his own glasses. We better think why the bastards whose names we do not know send to us Steven Perlstein, the financial guru on CNN with the most bizarre explanation, ’People just do not understand. Most of those so- called bad mortgages are financially sound. Only 10% or so are bad. The reason that the people on the market do not want to buy those is fear.. People are irrational.’
Whew! So private investors are all irrational nutcases? And we, poor saps thought otherwise. We thought they were financially savvy. We thought that if only we gave them all our money and privatize everything from schools to Social Security like our beloved Dubya wants we would have Paradize. We privatized the Iraq war and THE SURGE WORKED! I just got a message from one coprophag on the Opednews- THE SURGE WORKED. Eat your sh*t; he surely likes it. That is after that trillion was spent, of course. And nearly one million dead.
