LET’S TAKE ON THE REAL TERRORISTS – WALL STREET
As each month goes by I become more and more disappointed with the Obama administration and the snail’s pace at which it gets things done. With such a huge mandate twelve months ago with their inaction and their bumbling ways (healthcare is the great example) I am tiring of words, words and more words that at the end of the day are providing no real comfort for me in these most difficult times. With $trillions of bailout money already handed out, unemployment is still rising, big business is still laying people off and banks are still a law unto themselves. America is worse off today than ever before and our dreams and aspirations for the return of a future for our country are now all but shattered.
The first thing President Obama should have tackled was Wall Street and to date he has done nothing. In fact he employed two of the biggest crooks, tax dodger Tim Geithner and that Libertarian dirtbag Larry Summers who have done a masterful job of not only handing out over a $trillion to institutions which should have been allowed to fail (AIG, Merrill Lynch, Citibank, Bank of America et al) but worse after doing so, have sat on their hands and done nothing about regulating an industry which is so rotten and corrupt to the core. You see they are of the same believers as the biggest economic terrorist of all, the formerly hallowed Alan Greenspan.
The vast majority of Wall Street bankers and their backers are not Republicans or Democrats; they are Libertarians. Libertarians, by definition are close to Anarchists. They believe that government should have no toehold in any part of our lives, there should be no (or little at worst) taxes, and they espouse to allow a free and unregulated markets be the best judge of good or evil. Greenspan has been an unashamedly self confessed capitalist since the day he graduated from NYU. However he goes one step further, he is also a libertarian. How could a man so cynically opposed to every function of government, run the most important part of Washington, the flow and cost of money, as Chairman of the Federal Reserve for twenty years? How dumb we really are to sit back and allow successive Presidents since Nixon to be sucked in by the Wall Street lobbyists and continue, after this country is all but destroyed, to allow Libertarian terrorists not only control Washington from the inside but also continue to control Wall Street.
Ten years ago when President Clinton worked in the Oval Office he appointed one of the smartest D.C. lawyers, Brooksley Born to head CFTC (Commodity and Futures Trading Commission) a commission that was never given any clout because of the power of Wall Street. Very quickly after realizing Wall Street was running amok without any oversight, single handedly, this woman did everything to draw to Washington’s attention to the fact that the financial system was heading for a meltdown. In 1998, she appealed to President Clinton that derivatives and other similar financial instruments needed to be brought not only under closer scrutiny, but totally regulated. Led by Rubin, Greenspan and most Democrat and Republican senior politicians, she was rubbished and ridiculed at every congressional hearing. Clinton embarrassed at her refusal to tone down, finally fired her. Ten years on, excluding those Libertarian assholes led by Greenspan, Rubin, Geithner and Summers, every person then in a position to take note and act now must feel hugely guilty for the treatment meted out to her. Greenspan goes on to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom while Born disappeared into early retirement.
Save a few ineffective idiot Muslim zealots living in this country, the real terrorists who have been responsible for such collateral damage to America are the dirtbags on Wall Street, their buddies in Washington and those numbskull politicians who were so happy to buy into their bullshit. Bernie Madoff, was a mere peon in the greatest conspiracy in history and he received 150 years jail. Greenspan, Rubin, Arthur Levitt, a previous head of the SEC, Summers, and Geithner and many others should be publically hanged after being found guilty of destroying the very foundation of America’s financial system.
President Obama, you need to change direction here. Once the health care deal is done, focus on the things that are wrong within America and start setting about to clean this country up and you can begin by ridding it of corruption, greed and avarice at the top as much as possible. It may mean bringing a few of your own to justice but I don’t care. Every time I see that tax dodger Geithner on TV with those eyes that look like a deer’s caught in the headlights, he becomes the first guy I want to see breaking bread in clink! Let Greenspan share a cell with Levitt and Rubin with Summers inside Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Maricopa Jail. They will all look so cute dressed in pink and submissively taking orders being barked from the mouth of Sheriff Joe! Joseph McCarthy in the fifties would have been better off taking on the libertarians rather than the communists. Not one American can claim their lives were adversely affected by a fellow citizen being a member of the Communist Party, but 300 million Americans can attest to how their lives were irrevocably changed for the worse by libertarians.
