Banks caught "red handed" AGAIN

[Dot Com]

Wake up America!!!

"It's a double conspiracy," says an amazed Michael Greenberger, a former director of the trading and markets division at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and now a professor at the University of Maryland. "It's the height of criminality."

If true, that would leave us living in an era of undisguised, real-world conspiracy, in which the prices of currencies, commodities like gold and silver, even interest rates and the value of money itself, can be and may already have been dictated from above. And those who are doing it can get away with it. Forget the Illuminati – this is the real thing, and it's no secret. You can stare right at it, anytime you want.

Sad that U.S. politicians are dependent upon/bought-off by campaign contributions & promises of future revolving door employment thanks, in no small part to rw'ers like Bossie (Citizens United) & Gingrich (R)

One thing I'll promise you is that even if it's absolutely true, Obama will do nothing about it and progressives will find a way to blame Republicans/Bush... Or in your case a Republican, Gingrich.

Wait for it... wait for it!!!! "What could Obama dooooooo!??!??!!" Nothing, so what was the point oof voting for him when he fails to change anything you hate?

He's in academia now. He can spout whatever bullshit he likes and get rewarded for it.

Read the OP next time. I said most all the politicians were beholden to the banks. I merely pointed out the major players in keeping the money flowing into campaigns- Bossie & Gingrich.

These are the corporations that basically own the political process in the U.S.:

"It's now evident that there is a ubiquitous culture among the banks to collude and cheat their customers as many times as they can in as many forms as they can conceive," he said. "And that's not just surmising. This is just based upon what they've been caught at."

I could have swore Obama talked about it when he was trying to get people to vote for him back in 2007 and again in 2011.... Yet here we are, talking about fucking Gingrich, not the guy you voted for 2x, who said they would like to do something about it....

Im not here to defend Republicans, I simply can't support a thread that is trolling... yes, trolling. Either place blame equally on both sides or say "most politicians" and list Republicans getting people on one side worked up and all the libs coming here to blindly attack. Where was this thread going once you placed blame on a guy that not even a politician anymore?

 

[Avorysuds]

Remember the Obama you guys loved? The guy that talked about all the issues you cared about openly? Where are those issues now.....?

 

[Avorysuds]

Imagine if you had listed who started problems like this, even walked people through a history... then ended with Obama's promise to end stuff like this, maybe even provide video or links of Obama talking about it.... Imagine how different all the threads Obama-bots start would be, maybe people would debate these issues rather than fight endlessly.

Gingrich has been one of the big proponents of "aw shucks, money is speech" crowd for 20 yrs. so that people like Adelman can dump millions into campaigns.

Some people just love plutocracy and the fact it's becoming a way of life in America. You can't have both democracy and plutocracy.

The government spends trillions every year. Why not spend millions to influence that?

Sadly I must agree with all you've said here.

It is obvious that Obama is owned by the bankers and Wall Street.

He refuses to take aggressive action against either entity, which he has the power to do via executive order. Instead he has proposed reductions in Social Security.

He had an opportunity to seize control of the banks and prosecute those who participated in various illegal schemes, instead he simply handed them an $850bn bailout with no conditions.

He appointed an Attorney General who formerly worked for Covington & Burley, a prominent Wall Street law firm. More about this here: http://www.occupy.com/article/criminals-within-case-against-doj

both sides are beholden to the monied interests on Wall St & European & Asian banks/casino owners, as I stated in the OP (last sentence) BUT the Republicans moreso.

McConnell's Wall Street meeting prompts criticism from Democrats

Which party led the way in obstructing and eventually watering down the Financial reform bill? Which party is vehemently against any kind of regulation? Which party has a seething hatred for the brainchild of the CFPB? Etc, etc... Republicans!!!

Remember who said about the senate "the banks own the place"? It was a Democrat who blew the whistle on that.

I am well aware of the Republicans' proximity with the banks, with Wall Streeet, and with the emerging corporatocracy, which is why I no longer vote for Republicans -- even though I was a registered Republican going back to Barry Goldwater. I re-registered as Democrat in 2003 when I realized the Republican Party had slid onto the wrong side of what in fact has become a class war between the One Percent and the rest of us.

Of course you're right about the Republicans. Their support of the financial industry is to be expected. But for Obama to march to the same drum in spite of his implicit promise to do otherwise is overt betrayal and it accounts for why no progress is being made in the way of revitalizing the middle class. Obama's willingness to tamper with Social Security is a frontal assault on FDR's New Deal, which in fact enabled the rise of the American Middle Class.

I voted for Obama in '08 but he was not my first choice. Kucinich was. But the alternative was a Republican. I didn't vote for Obama in '12 because he'd revealed his self-serving agenda by then and I fully expect that by the end of this second term he will have given most of those who trusted him ample cause to openly despise him.

Obama is best described with one word. Slick.

 

[Dot Com]

No matter what Obama may have wanted to do. The House has had an intractable rw contingent that will NEVER vote for ANYTHING w/ his name associated w/ it because they have to run so far to the Right in their zaney Primaries

These are the corporations that basically own the political process in the U.S.:

"It's now evident that there is a ubiquitous culture among the banks to collude and cheat their customers as many times as they can in as many forms as they can conceive," he said. "And that's not just surmising. This is just based upon what they've been caught at."

of course if government was small and conservative and Republican/libertarian , corporations would have no need to own the political process in order to escape the rigors of capitalist free market competition.

The bigger insane libtards make the government the more special interests will want to control it!!

A very very simple concept but nevertheless one a liberal will lack the IQ to understand

You are a retard. The banks and corporations would still bribe the government into giving them protection from the "capitalist free market".

Sometimes things are more complex than you think, Eddie. Or is using the word "think" a stretch when it comes to you?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear, a conservative libertarian government has no power or protection to give, it can't be liberal socialist fascist, that's why conservative libertarians want such a government, thats why our Founders gave us such a government!!!!

"Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence."
