Just look at the Executive Branch actions to get back the looted cash from UBS secret (tax dodging) accounts of thousands of these crooks --- who have looted billions and are now trying to expropriate it, to sneak it off shore, and out of Uncle Sam's reach to 'claw back'.
This is just the first, quiet, but very serious effort by Obama to 'claw back' our stolen ‘commonwealth’, and that Executive Branch efforts (which can be done without bipartisan support, for obvious reasons) will increase to the point of real PAIN (bordering on torture) for the ruling-elite 'corporate financial Empire' looters.
In fact, the shoe (or rather the leg-iron) is precisely on the other foot --- the foot of the formerly ruling-elite imperialist looters --- and that they already sense, from the UBS situation, that the cell doors are slamming shut on them.
Obama is starting to look like the ruling-elite's worst nightmare since Napoleon or Marx!
In a global world, where are the Ponzi schemers and looting financial elite to hide?
Even the pirates in Somali waters are getting nabbed today.
Our more sophisticated financial pirates may find that their only chance to hide-out may well be in the mountainous Afghan northeastern territories with Osama --- but when he touches them with a sword; it won't be to knight them, like that phony, ‘Sir’ Allen Stamford. Nor would such escaping crooks likely be staying in multi-million dollar penthouses, like Bernie Madoff.
This week-end’s efforts by the ruling-elite Empire and its political and media pawns to rile-up the working-class crowd could be the stupidest thing the elitist crooks could possibly do for their own personal safety. Average, honest, working-class people of the United States know exactly what the score is, and they know who screwed them, and it's not their poor fellow citizens. Extending from what Pogo famously said, “We have met the enemy” (but they ain’t us) they is the ruling-elite ‘corporate financial Empire’ ---- and they is goin’ down.
While that low-life elitist media liar, Rupert Murdoch, used to be able to distract and rile-up some people with his scurrilous, racist NY Post, with things like showing our black President as a monkey shot and bleeding to death on the sidewalk, and get-away with lying that “I didn't mean 'that'”, and he used to be able to put fascist baffoons like Glenn Beck on his FOX propaganda channel and seed fears of WMDs, GWOT, and riots in the streets, the ruling-elite is starting to see that their old tricks of 'divide and conquer' are not working anymore --- and they correctly sense that they are absolutely alone (which is just how they live their nasty, thieving lives), and they are scared for their pitiful lives, and even more scared for their money.
Externalities ---- the modern economic weapon of choice for elitist Empires:Basically, European 'social democracies' (which unlike the US, actually do, represent the interests of their citizens) have for the last decade or more been trend-lining toward somewhat increased income and wealth inequality --- naturally driven by corporate and elitist interests (vs. citizen interests) and FOLLOWING the US ruling-elite 'corporate financial Empire' model, 'consensus', and guileful influence over their governments.
The following is a simple/unbiased picture of economic data (GINI), and political economic truthful narrative:
A substantial part of the instability and brewing social unrest in Europe, Japan, and elsewhere is associated with the European and Japanese ruling-elite's decision to cast their lot in with the global ruling-elite 'corporate financial Empire' nominally headquartered in the US and utilizing what might be called the American consensus model for running a political economic empire under the guise of democracy.
While the US GINI index of income inequality (at 0.49 and rising fast) has shot up over the past several decades, and is now on a par only with South American 'banana republics', African dictatorships, and ME oil monarchies, Europe and particularly Japan (although still reasonable in GINI indexes between 0.23 and 0.31) have also increased markedly from their historically low and egalitarian levels.
What's surprising is that there has been no talk in the US 'Vichy' media about the rest of the world talking, grumbling, and taking ‘action’ in the streets about this entire global financial mess being proximately caused by the US ‘banksters’ and financial Ponzi-artists selling those CDOs and other toxic 'un'securitized instruments and infecting the rest of the world. Nor has there been 'blowback' yet by European and Japanese populations constrained under the yoke of U.S. headquartered empire with this trend toward higher inequality rates, and ‘beggaring thy neighbor’.
However, well before people are starving in Europe, Japan, China, and the Middle East that many foreign governments will be telling their distraught citizens 'where the bear shits' ---- and that the particular bear most responsible for sh*tting-up the world is the US leading this forced-march toward unsustainable empire, high income inequality rates, and now economic collapse.
It is entirely predictable that events, such as the reputed ‘summer of rage’ in the UK, and Japanese demonstrations for economic fairness, will be quickly twisted into the ‘us vs. them’ nationalism and “how dare they”-style spin which the FOX yellow press is famous for in the US. Already the inane, insane, incompetent, and enflamed Glenn Beck ‘hate hour’ on FOX’s “War Room” extravaganza of falsehoods, fears, flame-outs and flagellation is getting the ‘war drums’ warmed up. However, the real nastiness will predictably start when these Goebblesque fascists at the 'fair & balanced' liars of FOX wake-up and tune their hate toward the UK, Japan, Germany, Korea, France (OMG the damn French, with their universal health care should be target #1 for our nukes), Spain, Italy, etc. etc. Even Russia and China are already being ‘trial ballooned’ as potential new enemies by this desperate and collapsing corporate financial Empire
