Let Them Eat CDO's

(Originally Posted July 20, 2011)

I WARNED -- early in the game (starting in 2002), that ideologically the "powers that be" would destroy the infrastructure of the United States, gut public services and education, all under the guise of keeping the "government out of our business" . . . it was a push to kill off welfare and all other tax-sponsored programs (other than the military) and would lead to . . . well lead to today.

A mess . . . however, it is not too late to reverse this; but in a year, it will be. Now -- or Never.

People didn't really "enjoy" hearing the truth but then most five year olds don't vibe with not getting their way, either -- so I get it. The United States has grown in to a dysfunctional teen and we have done this to ourselves. Either we take ownership of our dysfunction and put the drugs away or we go further and further down the rabbit hole to Hell.

The next 6 months will be the most "interesting" months of our lifetimes. There will be NOTHING like it you've ever seen. It is TIME to put the blinders away, wake the fuck up and see what is really happening. In a year, you're a slave.

Or you can stop it now.

Let me repeat that: In a year, you're a slave.

I said, years back, that policy decisions were driven towards one very obvious goal; to me, it was all about bringing in a new "Gilded Age" where the rich were REALLY RICH and the poor were . . . well, fuckn poor. My definition for the new class system: "the haves" and "the fucked".

Which, in a nutshell, pretty much sums it up? Does it not?

One of the primary goals of this little "dog and pony show" was to flat out steal the only thing the "average" person has to offer in this lifetime: the fruit of their labor. This was done in two ways: first, through eliminating jobs today, thus driving down rates through the laws of supply and demand, and also more surreptitiously through stealing what people had acquired, by working, over the years -- their pensions and the equity in their homes.

This "heist" was all about driving down labor costs -- nothing more. And when seen in that context, then a lot more of what's happened over the past 5-6 years begins to make sense.

It was easy, for me, to see what was coming. I simply put aside my "Manifest Destiny, GOD is on OUR side BLINDERS" and looked at what was really going on. If this was Portugal or Argentina and all this was happening, what would I expect to happen next?

I will put my track record on "predicting the trends of the United States economy" up against anyone in the world over the past 10 years; that doesn't mean I am right about this, of course . . . who knows. Only time will tell.

But I believe that now is that time for change to happen -- in a flash. Because if it doesn't . . .
