Where did our government go?

How blind were "we the people" when we let our government slip into the hands of a privately held bank with no accountability to us?  How blind are "we the people" that we stand by idle as those who pose as our leaders hand more power and control over to the FED?

Did we not notice that we've undermined the freedoms we used to have in exchange for a friendly form of slavery while the "masters" build a monetary system which uses interest to control every aspect of our lives?

Why do we continue to fight as Democrats or Republicans when those two parties are little more than a front of plausibility bending only to the will of those in power?  How is it that the average American doesn't notice that our elected politicians are just actors and the secret owners of the Federal Reserve Bank, a privately held company, are the ones making the real decisions?

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
