It just keeps getting deeper--all the lies told to us all, over the many decades past. I'm wondering if the full truth will ever be known?

There's no time to re-educate the people in time to prevent Bush from becoming all that. But maybe, by some twist of fate, he will not escape his just and rightful accounting for what he has done to this nation and indeed the world. May he answer the calls for justice and pay his dues!

(So it's true, there is no such thing as a good, honest politician, as in one that still lives? That's what I had always thought to be the truth--for the truly good and honest ones always end up dead, as in murdered. Sometimes it can be hard to tell but me thinks that if they are still living and in politics, then... well, you know.)

Actually I think they're very much the same system. But instead of the Politburo doing 5 year plans and deciding who gets what as in the former Soviet Union, oligarchs get together at Davos, Wall Street, Billderburg meetings and make these decisions. The system the U.S. has is more accurately "corporate socialism". The risks are heavily socialized and only the profits are "privatized". But even there the profits aren't shared with stockholders such as pension plans, vested union funds, mutual funds, etc because U.S. CEO compensation, proportionate to profits, is  significantly higher than in Europe & Japan.

Suzy Ward/Matthew; Mike Quinsey and many channelers have been telling us for some time that the Light has won and not to go into fear.  For some time now I've been analysing news through that lense and I see signs all over the place that they are right.   

My take on this whole bail out thing is that it wasn't supposed to happen this way and certainly not at this time shortly before the elections. The crooks weren't supposed to have to openly admit their greed, criminality and beg taxpayers for a "bail out".  The original plan was for a stealth bail out. That's what was behind Bush's push to "privatize Social Security" in 2003. The plan was to quietly route billions of Social Security cash to Wall Street to buy up the bad mortgage debt.   

But the plan to loot Social Security failed and it all comes to a head on Bush's watch. The U.S. National Debt has more than doubled since 2001 and is now 11 trillion. The interest is now the 3rd largest line item in the Federal budget - right behind defense and Social Security. That also gives you some idea that the current sum of a 7 billion "bail out" is paltry compared to what raiding Social Security would have brought the thieves.

All in all, I see lots of Light in the situation.  It's the 5th Night and this system is receding.  I think we might experience some difficulties for a few years but the final "bail out" plan was not the blank check Wall Street wanted. The Reagan "Trickle down" & "free market" lies, "privatize" everything in sight (which is simply another term for looting taxpayer built state assets) and Wall Street control are all  collapsing.

Pelosi: This is not a bailout, it’s a buy-in

Here are three aspects of the plan which Kucinich, Ron Paul and Obama all pulled for that did make it into the final agreement (which is still pending final Congressional approval).

Executives whose companies benefit from the rescue could not get “golden parachutes” and would see their pay packages limited. Firms that got the most help through the program — $300 million or more — would face steep taxes on any compensation for their top people over $500,000.

The government would receive stock warrants in return for the bailout relief, giving taxpayers a chance to share in financial companies’ future profits.

To help struggling homeowners, the plan would require the government to try renegotiating the bad mortgages it acquires with the aim of lowering borrowers’ monthly payments so they can keep their homes.


I particularly like limiting CEO salaries to 500,000 gross annually. Bloomberg reports in the 5 years preceding the crisis the 5 biggest Wall Street firms paid their executives 3 billion dollars.  http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= … L5l6xOPEHc  The New York Times reported the top 5 executives of Goldman Sachs "earned" a combined 322 million last year.  http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/ … ey-earned/ 

Under the new plan the 5 crooks would be limited to a combined 2 1/2 million.  How sweet it is.  Some of these guys are going to have to sell off a yacht or two.
