I’m not interested in the games capitalist are playing. I’d be more interested in a movement to repudiate all debt and confiscate all money.

I’m more of an eremite than a pawn.
I ain’t no stinking pawn.

I like that idea in fact. It is an epic battle. It would be great sport to watch if we weren’t pawns being moved around on the battlefield!

Thanks Gary, you’ve got the novelist style yourself! I didn’t realize they ate their own children. That’s pretty eerily accurate imagery.

Thanks for this article, Ellen Brown. I especially liked your depiction of our market gyrations and our economic fallibilities as the consequence of a battle between Titans–the House of Morgan and Fortress Rockefeller (both “Illuminists” no less!). You have the seeds for book material here, Ellen–and you’re one of the few who could pull it off.

Nice journalism throughout. The Max Keiser transcription–by your own admission, not perfect–was sharp enough, pointed enough to tell the dirty tale of how finance-capitalism really works, how quickly all can be manipulated and transmogrified!

In future, you might want to briefly clarify acronyms like CDO and MBS. (I knew the first, had to look up the second. Now I know … but it broke the flow.

Next week will indeed be exciting as our electronically vulnerable “new” marketplace responds to the hyper algorithms of the Titans. In Greek myth, the Titans were nearly omnipotent beings who ate their own children–until a new order of gods and humans were able to overthrow them. We don’t need new gods–we’ve got a Declaration of Independence. We can overthrow these predatory bastards ourselves if we’re informed, courageous and organized.

There have been a lot of posturing and make-believe bullshitting from Team Obama , the Congress and Wall St. to take anything they say at its face value.
I will believe it, when I see it. That means when a law is passed with iron clad articles that reinstate Glass-Steagall and regulate derivatives, short selling and and eliminate bundling and all that shenanigans associated with home mortgages.
