Well if this is not good reason to STORM (not the Bastille) THE RESERVE BANK and shut it down and throw the shysters in jail, then there is something very pathetically wrong with Americans…to go around in a swagger bombing indiscriminately innocent, DEFENCELESS people in the world screaming: IF YOU HIT US, WE AMERICANS WILL HIT, REPEAT W-I-L-L H-I-T Y-O-U, BACK A THOUSAND TIMES HARDER!!!
NOW is the time to show your REAL BALLS and mince the balls of those Wall Street goons with your High Noon perfect hero Gary Cooper heroic swagger…
Obviously, it just won’t happen! Just a few protesters, screaming and waving, outside the building for the merrymakers up on the building to pour some of their champagne down on to them for them to lick off the ground while shouting down: THANKS FOR THE WINE, AMERICANS! HAVE A TASTE! YOU PAID FOR IT!
SUCKERS!

And now here comes tail gunner Joe Biden spewing out the following:

“There are going to be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don’t know about that decision.’ Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

Ominous words, and not exactly in sync with the idea of a “transparent, democratic, equitable and sustainable” planet. Gabriel Kolko nailed that kind of imperious conceit.

“Blind men and women have been the motor of modern history and the source of endless misery and destruction. Aspiring leaders of great powers can neither understand nor admit the fact that their strategies are extremely dangerous because statecraft by its very nature always calculates the ability of a nation’s military and economic resources to overcome whatever challenges it confronts. To reject such traditional reasoning, and to question the value of conventional wisdom and react to international crises realistically on the basis of past failures would make them unsuited to command.”

Hasn’t the twentieth century taught us anything? It would appear not. But we no longer have the luxury of time and resources to continue to play The Great Game. Face it, states are obsolete and extremely dangerous, and are in fact, leading us to extinction as a species.

A decorous reform movement isn’t going to cut it. Maybe it’s a tough call for some, but sustainability means an end to statecraft, period–not a tinkering with its superficial aspects.

My estimate is that humanity has about two decades at most to decide to make profound fundamental changes in political, economic and social organization. After that, we may as well crawl under our beds and quiver in fear waiting for the end.

These traitors and criminals, and their cronies in government, including Congress, don’t deserve fairness, forgiveness, impartiality, or trials. They don’t deserve to eat from our tables, shop with our wages, or live at our expense. These greedy, thieving vermin should be treated for what they are: walking excrement in need of quick burial.
