Heads I Win; Tails You Lose

I remember my older brother trying to pull this stunt on me when I was six or something. I'm pretty sure I didn't fall for it then. So why are the American people falling for it now?

This is exactly the game corporate America and the bankers have been playing with us. When the housing market was booming, bankers were making money hand over fist trading derivatives and playing roullette with their depositor's own money. Did depositors ever see any of those winnings? Not hardly. They went to top execs and big bonus checks.

Now that the wheel has landed on double zero, who swallows the loss? The US taxpayer. While our neighbors get tossed out into the street and the average Joe's property value plunges, rich corporate fat cats keep their jobs, their obscene salaries, or drift on down to a private island courtesy of their golden parachutes.

Stuff like this is happening in Europe and the people are outraged (here's an amusing action taken on the Bank of Scotland). Meanwhile the American people just don't seem to get it.

When companies and services that were considered part of the "commons" became privatized, what's really happening is a natural monopoly and its accompaning resourses are being *stolen from the people.* This was done with reckless abandon starting with the Reagan administration. The argument was that it would make these services more effecient and offer Americans more "choice." In the end, all it did was make it more efficient to fire, cheat, and lie to Americans as they lost their oversight, and Americans got to choose whether they wanted to work at McDonald's or Wal-Mart after their good jobs got outsoursed to India.

So Joe Burgerflipper loses his house when he fails to pay his skyrocketing mortgage, but when banks and corporations fail, they're bailed out with taxpayer money! Yet where's the oversight? Nothing's changed -- the foxes are still in charge of the henhouse.

This is what's happening in America: They're privatizing all gains and socializing all losses. Heads I win, tails you lose.

What are they putting in our water, that most can't figure this out?

Something rotten in New York State

A key member of 9-11 Family Steering Committee and Guantanamo activist Beverly Eckart(who just met with President Obama) , Rowandan genocide witness/human rights activist Alison Des Forges, and three demolition experts (contradicting the official 9-11 conspiracy story) were scheduled to be on flight 3407 which mysteriously dropped out of the sky on Friday the 13th. The evidence points more towards a EMF Pulse than icing on the wings to me. Here's a post from Indymedia: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2009/02/386447.shtml

Today's the 11th

Do your part to inform others (or at the very least, yourself) about the impossibility of the "official story" of what happened 9-11-01.

More stuff on reincarnation

Okay, okay, I know I should start a whole separate blog on this subject, because in reality only 25% of Americans actually believe in reincarnation (though a majority of the world's population does ...) so there's not likely to be too large an interest with the people who already read my blog, which is mostly political in nature. And I suppose my fascination with it is likely to decrease my credibility on other issues, but *until I have time* to actually start and maintain a new blog, I've just got to link these fascinating sites somehow ...

If you've got an open mind, you've got to check out this webpage: The Reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy

This video is the most persuasive evidence I've seen so far about reincarnation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4zu8MmXFA . The whole series is entirely convincing. If it were a hoax, they used academy award-winning actresses and spent ages engaged in expensive, painstaking research into some extremely obscure information.
