What happened to the Illusion of a Free Market Economy ? I ask. I see Select Bankers & Corporations playing Without any Rules – They can Cheat & Steal the Public and with their Relationship with the Government They Can Suck the Wealth of the People Out and They Call That Capitalism ? It’s really beginning to look like Communism or Socialism for the Rich.
In these Volatile Times it’s important to Study What the Financial Elite are Doing , Yes or Yes ?
Scare the Public that if they don’t pass the coveted Trillion Dollar Bailout Bill their Stocks are going to Go Down – their house prices are going to fall and Unemployment is going to rise… This is giving a Lot More Power to the Government & Making the Financial Markets a Lot Less Free
Americans can Protest all they want but until it invokes Change into what the Federal Government & seperate Federal Reserve [CAUSE] are doing , the [EFFECT] will continue. Cause & Effect.
What We Can Do is Protect Our Own Wealth – Our Own Families by Taking Our Own FinancialDestiny in Our Own Hands. Did I mention OUR OWN ? Personal Responsibility for Our Own Outcomes.
Unfortunately if the Federal Reserve Scheme and the Financial Elite behind it wipes out the Value of the Dollar – it’s going to wipe out all US backed Financial Assets and with that the Retirement Dreams of the masses – I don’t care how Rich you are , if your Moneys only in Dollars you’re going to be Poor by virtue of Devaluation. [one man’s opinion] Your Results may vary. Don’t Trust a Word I or Anyone else says – Do Your Own Research.
Without the Bailout Goldman Sachs is Out of Business and the Bailout is necessary because of what Goldman Sachs Did on Henry Paulson’s Watch.
In other words , Folks You’re Screwed – Get Ready for the New World Order.
The Government is Broke Folks. It’s Going to be a Disaster , a Greater Depression – the Politicians and Bankers – the Interference in the Market and Unemployment. The Criminals are Rewarded – The Sheep are Scared – Socialist Banking System is taking over a free economy.
Full Blown Depression – Phony Borrow and Spend economy – more Dire Forecast Hyper–Inflation – Savings and Wages Debased – Bad Mortgages sold to the Government – Trillions of Dollars in new liquidity. Savings is the root of a former Capitalist system.

Australian Researchers on Tuesday reported that Australias Kangaroos are Genetically Similar toHumans. Scientists have for the first time Mapped the Genetic Code of the Kangaroo and found much of it was similar to the Human Genome. There are some obvious differences but we share thesame genes and a lot of them are in the same order. Todays Kangaroos are informative about what Humans were like 150 million years ago.
I can See the Similarity with Killer Willard and Bush Cheney 🙂
The Researchers found Humans and Kangaroos last shared an ancestor 150 million years ago. More surprisingly the finding showed Mice and Humans diverged from one another only 70 million years ago. We are All Connected. Everything is Connected.
Its arguable who’s Better on Two Feet , but at 35 MPH Kangaroos are Much Faster than Humans.
Interesting Week 11 in NFL Professional Football. First Time EVER there was a 11-10 Final Score [Steelers over Chargers].
First Time in Six Years there was a TIE SCORE FINAL 13-13 [Philly at Cincy]. And yes Donovan McNabb didn’t know the game could end in a tie – moron.
Ten Games were decided by ONE SCORE or less , including Tony Romo’s Return Victory [Dallas over Washington]
How about the Unbeaten Titans at a perfect 10-0 It’s All Good if you’re a Tennessee Fan.
And lastly the Epic JETS – PATS tilt 34 – 31 OverTime , First Place in the Division On-The-Line
Refs Mistake in Steelers game Costs Bettors BigTime. Winners turned into Losers and losers ended up winning when a game that should have ended up 17-10 instead went into the record books as the first 11-10 final in NFL history. Though the score made no difference in the Win and Loss column – it did in the Wallets of a lot of Bettors in Las Vegas and Nevada Sportsbooks.
A Mistake by the Officials on the final play of the game between the 4 Point Favorite Steelers and Chargers meant Bettors who thought they had won money on the game actually lost – while those who thought they had lost ended up Winning. The apparent Touchdown scored by Polamalu on the last play of the game made the difference between Pittsburgh covering the point spread or not. When the touchdown was incorrectly Overruled , Steelers Bettors who thought they had won on a fluke on the last play were left holding worthless tickets.
The official score remains 11-10 , and Nevada Sports Books paid off on the final score from Sunday. There might have been $10 Million Bet Legally on the game in the State of Nevada but many times more than that in illegal bets around the country – plus the offshore Internet betting action.
