Are you starting to get the sense that we are all on the up-raised stern of the Titanic, with Rose and Jack, and were all thinking to ourselves, " This is it! ", as the last remenant of the un-sinkable mighty hulk and our precarious position of tenous saftey begins its final plunge into the cold icy waters. Bear Stearns was worth 170 dollars a share a year ago, and today it was " given " to JP Morgan for $2 bucks a share. The crooked Fed will do what its always done, look after, as its highest priority, the interest of the elites that make it up, and its fellow thugs running the world's plundering US and European corporations. These corrupt pigs could care less about the average American, who Henery Kissinger ( long time Bilderberg Group memeber ) called " useless feeders ". What we are seeing is yet another " Taxpayer " bailout of a corrupt finacial institution. The truth is, JP Morgan gets Bear Stearns, and through the machinations of the Fed the average American Taxpayer is being set up to take the hit for the Stearns failure. The CEO of Bear Stearns was saying just this last week that the institution had no liquidity problems at all, and a week later the entity for all practical purposes collapses. The Fed by its moves is attempting to create within the public mind the notion that the Bear Stearns situation was not a collapse of the fifth biggest financial investment institution in the United States, which could have easily knocked down other finacial institutions in the house of cards that US economy really is, one huge, corrupt finacial pyramid scheme. The recent moves of the fed and the US treasury secretary ooze of desperation. The Elephant in the Room these crooks don't even factor in, at least in terms of the facade they present when giving their Ministry Of Truth prognostications to the public, is that the US economy will continue to deteriorate, because the era of cheap abundant energy is over. You can't run the kind of economies we have created in the last 150 years on " just " technology, minus the huge energy inputs that powered everything. Essentially, technology was created to capitilize on abundant energy, not the reverse. The lying, BS, scamming, and corrupt Hucksterism will continue to cajole from the corportate controlled media that everyone should just relax, because the US economy is sound, and all is " really " OK! With Bush just yesterday saying this very thing, sensible people clearly see he is either the biggest liar in the world ( we know thats true already ), or, he doesn't live on this planet. So know matter how much these idiots keep telliing us our Titanic is not sinking, to those that are following the unfolding realities as represented by information as dispensed beyond the controls of the various Ministries of Truth of corporations and elite managed infomation sources can clearly see the lies, the smoke and mirrors these dispicable fools want us to believe in, to try and keep their convoluted financial scams and schemes intact. Its gonna get a lot worse, prepare as you can.
