The gangs own our politicians, banks, money, everything.
When we allowed the Empire to move offshore we lost control of our sovereignty. We no longer control our own troops. We must "police" the world to keep the system safe. As long as the system needs oil and the cash reserves , that is.
Not keep you and I safe.
People with towels on their heads strapping bombs to their chest are a nuisance not a credible threat. it's only when they get nukes (yes they will) that they become a threat.
And only some government can provide that.
It will.
And only America stands in it's way.
If that should ever change Israel is toast. We need her to keep these nut jobs occupied. After all, God wills that Jews die, just ask the 400 or 500 million fanatics who demand it.
Many on the left in all countries are beginning to sympathize with these guys for being punished by the mean Jews and are becoming politically powerful. They're getting elected everywhere promising "something for nothing".
Everything provided by government: jobs, health care, education, national security, child care, food, utilities, transportation, entertainment, old age security, etc. etc. etc. What ever it takes to get in power and take us back to some idyllic pastoral paradise where we can all live in peace and harmony. Like the Middle east, I guess.
With our luck, Israel takes out their enemies and puts the oil based economy back a hundred years. Or a thousand.
What does she have to lose.
After all, all our economic problems stem from oil shocks as the Jihad continues from 1973 when Islamo fascist declared war on the west for supporting Israel.
Remember gas lines, shortages, and fat cat Arabs lecturing America for supporting the Jews.
Where did you think the series of recessions since that time has come from?
Handful of greedy banks? Sorry, not enough. Wishing it were true does make it so.
Evil speculators? They lost their ass when Bush announced drill baby drill.
Only oil producers controlled by religious fanatics and an end times agenda have the muscle to destroy our economy.
We have already forgotten that oil hit $147 a barrel and the consumer went bankrupt, literally overnight, trying to find the money to pay for food and gas, destroying the auto guys, banks, and Republicans in the process.
Just fell out of the sky. Ask them.
Yes we were that vulnerable because we have had our wealth sucked out of us and replaced with printing press money for over 30 years while the Empire moved offshore.
That is what is meant by the "sucking sound" of free trade. Wealth is not money. Money is a promise to pay. For wealth.
Things that are desired, sought and valued is wealth.
But as for how our interconnected banking system works:

Financial Coup d’Etat at The Catherine Austin Fitts Blog
I described a meeting that had occurred in April 1997, more than four years before that day in London. I had given a presentation to a distinguished group of U.S. pension fund leaders on the extraordinary opportunity to reengineer the U.S. federal budget. I presented our estimate that the prior year’s federal investment in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area had a negative return on investment.
We presented that it was possible to finance places with private equity and reengineer the government investment to a positive return and, as a result, generate significant capital gains. Hence, it was possible to use U.S. pension funds to significantly increase retirees’ retirement security by successfully investing in American communities, small business and farms — all in a manner that would reduce debt, improve skills, and create jobs.
The response from the pension fund investors to this analysis was quite positive until the President of the CalPERS pension fund — the largest in the country — said, “You don’t understand. It’s too late. They have given up on the country. They are moving all the money out in the fall [of 1997]. They are moving it to Asia.”
Sure enough, that fall, significant amounts of moneys started leaving the US, including illegally. Over $4 trillion went missing from the US government. No one seemed to notice. Misled into thinking we were in a boom economy by a fraudulent debt bubble engineered with force and intention from the highest levels of the financial system, Americans were engaging in an orgy of consumption that was liquidating the real financial equity we needed urgently to reposition ourselves for the times ahead.
The mood that afternoon in London was quite sober. The question hung in the air, unspoken: once the bubble was over, was the time coming when we, too, would be “de-modernized?”
In 2009 — more than seven years later — this is a question that many of us are asking ourselves.
