““The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”” The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
Go to Burger King or, God Forbid, Starbucks, whip out a knife and steal $100 from the register and see what happens. If you’re not shot dead on the streets for having a 6″ thin metal knife blade, then you’ll spend 7 or 8 years in a for-profit prison system, working for .28 cents an hour in the modern day plantations we call the American justice system.
Hell, you don’t even really need to commit a crime now that ObamaGOD signed the NDAA 2012 in the middle of the night on New Year’s Eve (when all of his loyal supporters were partying). All you really have to do is write about his Terror Tuesday meetings setting up which innocent civilians (labor leaders, union leaders, political rivals, journalists, moderate Muslims, US citizen, their children) his business friends want whacked in some foreign country (Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia) because they pose a threat to our “national interests” (read as Hunt Oil, United Fruit, Haliburton, Bechtel, Exxon Mobil, BP, and of course the for-profit privately owned central banking cartel from London)
Forget the high crimes of sedition and what they laughably call treason these days; most people aren’t aware enough nor bold enough to be held accountable for those “crimes”.
Just take a moment to think about the really big “crime” that many who are suffering in this demoed economy are committing right now: not paying their bills fast enough. Think that’s a joke: debtor’s prisons returning to America. Welcome to back to the 1780s folks.
“We came to attention with a jolt when we read a clutch of recent articles claiming that debtors’ prisons are being revived in Missouri, Alabama, Illinois and other states.” Wall Street Journal
When the world is being remade to favor the banks and financial institutions over all others, debtors prisons are simply inevitable.
Work camps, reeducation camps, debtors prisons, forced labor… you can expect to see it all, all populated by Ayn Rand’s “useless eaters” and all coming at us with startling speed and efficiency.
We all have to be held accountable for our actions or our perceived actions but not Wall Street, not the big banks who colluded with the Vichy politicians to bring about this barbaric transition. They aren’t to be held accountable in any way shape or form under the current President of CHANGE.
“On Thursday US Attorney General Eric Holder shut down a more than three-year investigation into CIA torture and murder of detainees, with no charges being brought against anyone.” Global Research
“Authorities are winding down their criminal investigation of the failed brokarage firm, MF Global, and despite the lack of oversight and the loss of more than $1 billion in customer funds (actually they didn’t “lose” 1.6 BILLION in segregated customer funds, they STOLE it), it now seems unlikely that anyone at the firm will face criminal charges.” The Atlantic Wire
“In a case that exemplifies the degree to which Wall Street’s largest financial firms have been shielded from meaningful prosecution for their role in the financial crisis of 2008, the Justice Department late on Thursday announced that no charges would be brought against Goldman Sachs for its role in fueling the sub-prime mortgage debacle (actually, it wasn’t a “debacle”, it was pure unadulterated systemic fraud which also took down Greece).” Common Dreams
If you can’t see it at this point, you don’t want to. Many of us have been warning of this looming shadow for many years. We have been ridiculed, dismissed as conspiracy theorists, slandered as being anti-Semitic. But here we are none the less.
The designed economic collapse is being used to remake the world and what we see emerging from their technocratic think-tanks is worse than what any of us could have imagined in the past.
Not only are the ideas of democracy and self-determination being roundly dismissed as quaint by talking heads advocating one world government run by banking elites, but other social norms established over the centuries are dropping by the wayside as well. Social justice, accountability, class mobility all of these things are quickly being tossed to the side as if the Magna Carta never existed.
They don’t just want your Social Security money, they know they’ll get that now that they swindled a million Ron Paulites into thinking handing over their parent’s retirement money is “liberty”… they don’t just want to privatize the post office, public school system, police and fire departments, prison system, entire local political systems.. they know they are going to get all of that as well because the slow boiled frog is oblivious to the heat…
What they want is something more… they want your humanity. They want your dignity. They want your servitude.
Gerald Celente is on a rant these days. He says the whole thing is rotting from the head down; the head of the Bush administration and now the head of the Obama administration and who can argue with him. There is no accountability, there is no justice anymore. Don’t expect it.
This is an old plan, not something new.
““The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”” The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.

Well put, man. Hope you don’t mind if I appropriate some of your language.
Debtor’s prisons?! OMG…
so what few jobs are here will be done by debtor slaves and then more people will be put out of jobs and more people will be without money to pay bills and more people put in jails…. that has got to be a living nightmare ….. in America?
Well, at least I can steadily brace myself with each passing day. Even if I am suffering, at least I can say I’ll have no regrets.
The system we live in and the values we promote don’t have an ounce of accountability or humanity in them. We must cast them aside and never look back.
You often make good points yet sometimes you are all over the place. You seem to imply Ayn Rand would endorse the crap going on when Atlas Shrugged pretty much says the exact opposite and she was making a statement against corruption.
What is with the Ron Paulites comment? Social Security is jacked up and people who are against it like Ron Paul REALIZE THAT and know the money put in will eventually never come out so why should people today have to put money in that they will never see? It’s a glorified Ponzi scheme and it doesn’t take much to get this.
It’s as though you come off anti government (which is a good thing) yet in the next sentence you think the government should be taking care of everyone and we should all be sucking the government teet instead of making our own choices and anyone who wants more freedom in their life and doesn’t want to be the babysitter for everyone else is evil. I also get the feeling you have an issue if anyone is financially successful as this seems more than just busting on corrupt banksters and politicians.
To me it is not the Government it is the corruption and ownership of the Government. The Federal Government is one of the strongest ways the masses can keep the Elite concentrated wealth in check and one of the ways we can help to rebuild a middle class. It would be nice if we could someone get people into top positions that are not bought and paid for.
We need accountability of our government and authority figures at every level. Concentrated wealth controls the government. That is why we need to try to organize to rebuild the middle class or we will have a despotic society.
One of my favorite videos on this is a 1946 movie called democracy and despotism.
If all things are normal, corporations would not be able to sustain themselves because of the falling rates of profit. Gov. plays a very vital role by injecting money into the economy. There is no such thing as a free market nor can there be one. Civil libertarians don’t seem to understand that basic fact.
Regarding Any Rand, nonsense. Rand herself received Social Security payments and Medicare benefits under the name of Ann O’Connor Atlas shrugged pretty much makes the argument that without a superclass the US economy would not function. We all learned in 2008 how well that idea works. Her core idea of rational self interest is unsupportable. Her celebration of the autonomous man—her mythical version of the rugged individualist—flies in the face of what we know about biology.The fact is that self interest is just as irrational as it is rational.
Scott references Rand’s “useless eaters”. Rand saw the poor as parasites. I guess you think all poor people are lazy like others of your kind. You live by the false notion what we all are self made and the best rise to the top. Perhaps you are just a fan of Horatio Alger. Good luch with that.
Rand unapologetically glorifies all those egotistical impulses we had as teenagers. She once called the nuclear weapon capable of incinerating entire cities “an eloquent example of, argument for and tribute to free enterprise.” Back in the late 1920s, as Ayn Rand was working out her philosophy, she became enthralled by a real-life American serial killer, William Edward Hickman.
Vietnam. Mutual assured destruction. That was the 60~70s.
Now we have personally assured destruction.
Whoever thought the leets cared about us?

“Cap’n called ME a hard-headed devil.”
But the hell in it is, when they’re done with me, when Cap’n done shot ME down, they’ll come after him. And his kids. All he holds dear.
Cap’n do well to get it figured out, but I don’t think he will.
