Dylan Thomas Jefferson: "Banks Have Taken Over The Government And Made Taxpayers Slaves To Bank-Run Gambling Casinos"
Video: Ratigan Channels Jefferson for a Halloween message...
Highly recommended unless you have an aversion to truth. Runs 2 minutes.
Ratigan celebrated Halloween by donning a wig and dressing in revolutionary garb like his favorite Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, channeling the former president's trenchant criticism of big banks.
Ratigan pointed out that Jefferson was the first and most vocal opponent of Alexander Hamilton's proposal for a federal bank. Jefferson's greatest fear, Ratigan announced in comparison to our current economic crisis, was a "bank takeover of the government that would leave taxpayers as slaves to bank-run gambling casinos." Quoting Jefferson directly, Ratigan said, "the banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."
Around Ratigan's neck hung a large padlock with TBTF written on it, signifying the government's complicity in the "too big to fail" doctrine.

Ratigan: Banks continue to steal from the taxpayers who bailed them out

Nice Editorial
Did you catch Ratigan saying "It's better than digging ditches, right?" LOL--Keynesian humor.
We will never get out from under the heavy hand of the federal government. It's been going on for over a century. From--dare I say--Lincoln to Taft to Roosevelt to everyone since Kennedy died, the chains have been forged. Only a total collapse will provide hope. I hate to be a doomsayer, but this is not a new or partisan problem. It's systemic.
We should be building our boats instead of trying to plug the holes in the dike. The whole thing is going to go soon.
Yes...enjoyed it...

Sadly, you are 100% correct.

WASHINGTON — More than a year into the gravest financial crisis since the Great Depression, millions of Americans have seen their home values and retirement savings plunge and their jobs evaporate.
What they haven't seen are any Wall Street tycoons forced to swap their multi-million dollar jobs and custom-made suits for dishwashing and prison stripes.
There are plenty of civil and class-action lawsuits from aggrieved investors angered by the losses in their mortgage bonds, hedge funds or pensions. Regulators have stepped up their vigilance after the fact. But to date, no captain of finance tied to the crisis has walked the plank.
There have been some high-profile arrests and federal convictions of financial giants — such as Ponzi scheme king Bernard Madoff and Stanford Financial Group chairman Robert Allen Stanford. They weren't among the causes of the financial meltdown, however, just poster boys for an era of lax enforcement, weak regulation and devout faith in free markets.
"A lot of people who are responsible (for the crisis) seem to have gotten awfully rich in the process," said Barbara Roper, the director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America.

The governments of every major nation are going to default on their debts. There are two relevant questions: (1) How? (2) When?
Establishments around the world all deny this. They have gained power and wealth by means of the expansion of government. They have justified their success by insisting that the government-business alliance is the only way to establish economic growth and economic security for the masses. This claim rests on a more fundamental claim, namely, that an unhampered free market is destructive of economic stability and will inevitably lead to economic depression.

And i'm guessing we weren't the first...maybe the thousand and first...
I was shocked to find out this in the hospital ICU unit:
Patients Video feed and Vital sign are monitored in INIDA. My mom was admitted to hospital ICU unit and I found only 3 nurses the ICU.
These Corporate crooks keep outsourcing every job they can..........and we the working class still don't get it?
and no Outrage and Revolt?
AMEN

Good luck with your mom, and make sure you keep her in touch with her Doctor. The likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation increases with age. Three to five percent of people over 65 have atrial fibrillation.
Treating atrial fibrillation is an important way to help prevent stroke.
"Shocked to learn ICU patient monitoring ICU offshore?"
Unfortunately no, they call it a cost savings, I am also on a local ERT team.
Appreciate the concern , thanks. Mom recovered and is back home now.
God Bless us all. I observed every one is waking up to the scam on us by Corporate, Wall Street, Washington Criminal rulers.Majority staff at hospital was engaged on the scam subject but I still fear it is too late to save the republic without violence now. No leader has emerged to lead the so called middle class for non violent revolt?
The gold market is an accident waiting to happen
Basically, the gold market operates on a fractional reserve basis. On average there are several claims of ownership on each gold bar conforming to London Good Delivery (LGD) standard on the "pool" of gold which acts as liquidity for the massive OTC gold trade based in London. Similarly, there are several claims of ownership on the gold bars in Comex wherehouses. If a sufficient number of market participants become concerned about this (which is happening) and there is a stampede to take delivery of physical bullion, the entire gold market will come crashing down, taking most of the global financial system with it. Market failure isn't a risk, it is a certainty. The unregulated gold market is an accident waiting to happen.

Like Comex warehouses, London gold vaults are being emptied. Hong Kong is pulling all its physical gold holdings from depositories in the UK and moving their $63 million worth of gold home to newly built vaults near the city's airport. Dubai is also planning to withdraw its gold from London. Meanwhile, private investors and Swiss ETFs continue to move gold out of London.
On top of investor demand prying gold out London and COMEX vaults, Germany and Switzerland are reportedly demanding the return of their custodial gold from the US. In the face of this onslaught of demand, the US/UK gold markets are crumbling
The Center for Responsible Lending estimates that there have now been 1,000,000 foreclosures filed so far in 2009 and the group expects the foreclosure number to double before the end of the year.
