Question Everything!

I'm self-educated so I skipped 'college' and the joys of having a formal education; forgive me if I fail to understand what's really going on.   I have some questions for my 'educated' readers. At what point are you going to react to what's going on now; because what I see is that this entire, and very public, display of apologies and hand- wringing seems to be focusing on all the wrong people?           Potentially tens of trillions are being lost through the absorbsion of retirement savings, 401K's and the failure of investments as well as the continuing crash of home values. Yet the only people being 'assisted' seem to be the exact same people that caused this deadly crisis in the first place. Moreover, we are currently only at the beginning of whatever this turns out to be. Those that still believe in this 'system' are being told that we might be in a Recession; while most of the rest of us see this as a deepening global Depression. Perhaps the key lies in all those other major industries that are already lining up for help, like the airlines, the failing automotive industry, as well as every other major business activity that is also being dragged into the black hole of quadrillions that "our" derivative-driven debt has created.   As I said I'm rough around the edges when it comes to education- but when someone comes to kill me I do not turn the other cheek or open my bank account; instead I tend toward facing the problem and ending it in the most complete way possible. For instance there was this front page article in the San Francisco Chronicle that the paper chose *not* to post on their web-site today, even though they gave it this banner headline:   HOME FORECLOSURES SOAR IN STATE   "Nearly 80,000 California homes fell into foreclosure during the past three months, a more than three-fold year-to-year increase that suggests numerous government interventions and industry promises have done little so far to help struggling borrowers hold onto their keys.   The news of the unrelenting rise came on the same day that the head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. told Congress that the government should do more to help these at risk of defaulting on their mortgages.   Statewide the number of homes repossessed soared 228.4 percent over last year to, to 511 during the third quarter, according to MDA DataQuick. That's the largest number of foreclosures since the San Diego research firm began tracking foreclosures in 1988.   Across the nine-county Bay Area, 12,093 homes fell into foreclosure, up 273 percent. Contra Costa County saw the most foreclosures, 3,662 and Santa Clara County experienced the biggest increase, 428 percent. Marin and San Francisco counties registered the fewest trustee deeds, 149 and 192 respectively." jtemple@sfchronicle.com   In this case it would seem glaringly obvious, that the people most in need are the ones with the least amount of resources. So why are we bailing out the failed-executives first, and then their criminally liable corporations; while we continue to ignore the millions of ordinary people that are being screwed without mercy, by the same government that was charged with protecting people from these massively criminal schemes that upended the economy and the nation over the course of these last three administrations?   Yesterday Alan Greenspan admitted that the "Free Market" failed. Of course it failed because its only motive was to "make" as much money as possible from every possible source but with an emphasis on the completely fraudulent 'investments-because those had the highest yields, and supposedly posed the least risk because they were protected by all the Money-changer-insiders that were running this global heist! It seems that virtually every new generation needs to learn anew that no corporation or industry can ever be trusted with monitoring itself; This simple axiom is so basically clear, even without being put into words-yet in reality it is this fact which is far more 'astounding' than the fact that "The Free Market Failed."   Another simplified definition that must be erased from the public lexicon is "The Free Market." As this term is currently used the implication is that "Free Trade" & The Free Markets" are open and free to everyone: when the facts are that they enslave those that embrace them and destroy those that make them possible (you and me). What they are is a formally ratified "License to Steal," created by the super-rich to destroy first the middle- class and now the ordinary rich (the millionaires); which is why we are finally beginning to hear about what's really going on.   While the Owners of the Money-Changers were only liquidating the poor and the lower classes, nothing was reported. When it was time to slice & dice the middle class there was still very little incentive for public discussion-but now it's the turn of "the ordinary-rich" and while they are only millionaires they do still have enough pull to begin to get the story out. Of course it does not help the propaganda arm of the New World Order that this "problem" is finally affecting the global-markets and ordinary people everywhere.   Sunlight can be very destructive to the nefariously dark world of Shadows & Secrets because once "the light gets in" the days of continuing to scam the world are numbered. What's happening today may 'look like freedom but it feels like death' as Leonard Cohen so famously sang in *Closing Time.* In fact, why not take a moment more to watch a couple of Cohen's other songs that tempt the mind to go where the heart might fear to tread.
