The Art of
Politics

-- 30/09/08 -- - This morning Bush went back to the
microphones to again trash the public for failing to
approve of his strong-arm plan to bailout his buddies
and to screw the people. ‘Politics must be kept out of
this’ has been the constant refrain from the bunch of
pretenders who appointed themselves to fix this problem.
But “Politics” is not about democrats and republicans
it’s about what people think, and it’s about anything
that will directly impact the real and long-term futures
or millions of ordinary people. What these criminals
fail to understand is that: “The act of breathing
is political!”
Overlooked in the
dictator’s tirade was the fact that the negotiations in
Washington are only between the White House, the
congress and the Corporate Oligarchs that created this
fiasco: Their ‘conversations’ and this legislation have
shut-out the public; especially those that have
everything to lose. Bush said again that he was trying
to reach the American people and to get them to ‘get
them on board’ as if the public could still be asleep.
What is clear is that the public wants this problem
solved; they simply do not believe that there is
anything in this giveaway to the criminal-establishment
that will change anything about their lives: except to
make everything worse, for them!
This triad of criminals
that are negotiating with themselves have all
underestimated the public that has been bleeding badly
since Cheney-Bush stole their first election. And now
that the last act of this Coup has arrived, the public
has finally drawn their-own line in the sand because
they have realized that unless the public is
‘bailed-out’ they will die! There will also be no one
left to do anything to create the huge profits which the
criminals are fighting over. The Bushwhacker gave
himself away when he said “it doesn’t matter how
legislation gets done” because it does matter,
greatly!
Bush went on about how
‘this ‘failure’ will affect job creation and the
availability of credit to start new businesses and it
would affect credit card rates and the savings of
ordinary people’ and basically that by not agreeing to
this blackmail of the public by the same people that
created the crisis: the public would be hurting
themselves. Bush failed to remember that there are no
jobs creation programs, we have no opportunities, and
that the banks and their owners have been playing
Russian roulette with interest rates throughout the last
eight years! There are millions of people in need of
intervention now, to save their homes, to avoid
bankruptcy, and to be able to keep a job to be able to
feed their families. None of which this Paulson-Bernanke-Bush
Slush-Fund for the rich will do!
Government’s job is to
provide for the needs of the country—in this instance
that would involve real and immediate help to those who
lost everything because the government allowed these
financial goons to play fast and lose with every rule of
law and commerce—it is the government sanctioned
criminals that should be left to die, and not the sheep
that failed to scream, back when this all began. The
ordinary people that the criminals used to create
this monster, ought to be assisted with their survival
and not further insulted by this government’s love
affair with every criminal-scheme and con-artist that
ever tried to buy a vote! There is nothing in this vile
legislation that addresses any of the truth, of what
must be done to fix the disaster that this government
created from their own lust for profits and power in the
short-run.
“REP.
DENNIS KUCINICH: This is a copy of the bill which will
provide for a $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. It
has provisions in it where it talks about helping
homeowners, but when you read the fine print, you see it
has language like “may” instead of “shall” and
“encouraging” instead of “mandating” help for the
millions of homeowners who are worried right now about
whether they’re going to lose their home. There’s no
help for them in this.
So what we have here is a rescue plan that essentially
gives all the speculators a bailout and puts the bad
debts in the custody of the government. The president of
the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank has said that this plan
could create a fiscal chasm, says that the problem isn’t
tight monetary policy, it’s the reckless behavior of
some of these investors who have now found themselves in
a position where a government bailout is going to help
reward their bad behavior.”

The stark reality that is
never mentioned anywhere, is that what is called
The government
here, no longer represents the people of this country!
So when the government says
“this money will be paid back,” meaning that the
government will be paid back—the public knows that this
means only that the criminals will profit even further
and that the dying citizens will not get any of the real
assistance that they must have immediately!
For this “government” to
have so clearly misread both the import and the targets
of this crisis, while at the same time refusing all
input from the public that will be forced to pay
trillions for the bailouts of those that are their
blood-enemies: This constitutes yet another major-crime
against the American public. Yesterday the DOW dropped
777.68! This was the direct result of the public having
informed the criminal-co-conspirators in congress that
if the congress gives Bush and his co-conspirators what
they say they want, then it will be their asses on the
line as well as the war-criminals in public office! The
badly-wounded public will take the losses rather than
commit outright suicide by caving into what Bush says we
all MUST do!
There has never been a
greater failure in leadership, in this country, then
what this collection of criminals and felons that Bush
has assembled to “represent” the government of the
United States has done to the public they supposedly
serve. This problem too needs an immediate answer and
several possibilities are out there in the wings, just
waiting to be recognized. However since none of the
triad in these ‘negotiations’ believes that any
particulars in this GIVEAWAY should be shared, with the
general public, then this legislation will continue to
be rejected. The money being stolen here belongs to the
taxpayers, not to Goldman-Sachs and this theft is
ostensibly being done in the public’s name without
offering the ‘public’ even any crumbs from the sumptuous
table of our self-appointed owners.
What happened yesterday Mr.
Bush, while you were slouching in your chair, in
disheveled disarray, was that the public finally found a
way to tell you and your buddies to go straight to
Hell—that is real politics in action!
What is at stake here is
who and what will be left standing after this outrage
runs its course, I’m betting it will be the people
themselves, and not that band of commercial-mercenaries
that have claimed title to everything that all the rest
of us have had to earn!
The sheep are getting
restless, just as the new crop of replacements to
continue this unholy Empire are trying to run for
office—the timing of this collapse was intended to
instill fear and doubt—but all this has really done is
to show the public what “government of, by, and for the
corporations” really looks like when things get up-close
and personal!
