The Bailout For Dummies

In their article,Meet the Hazzards, Nomi Prins and Christopher Hayes describe the recent financial bailout as it would have appeared had it, instead, been given to an hypothetical Twin Cities couple named Joe and Katie Hazzard.

  1. Great article.

    One might read through it and imagine it's
    too outlandish, sadly that isn't the case.

    I always think of such in 4GW terms, where as
    Alquida had hoped to severely impact the
    western economies.

    They sure have, and the rest we did ourselves.
    One can wonder if they allready knew we probably would, going in.

  2. 'the rest we did ourselves.

    Of course, if "Al Qaeda" is just a false flag for Western plutocrats, it could be that all the problems of America were caused, directly or indirectly, by the same class of plutocrats.

    I realize that this leans toward a "one size fits all" monomania for blaming plutocracy, thus I advance it only as a possibility, not a certainty.

    In my wildest, most Robert-Anton-Wilson-esque fantasies, it's all *one* conspiracy, with outer factions who think they oppose each other. E.g. Dick Cheney on top of the pyramid, with Madoff, Rumsfeld and bin Laden in lower positions, and finally people like Kevin Tillman and Tim McVeigh on the lowest levels of the pyramid. Tillman tipped wise and was taken out by his own people.

    Regardless of whether Bernie Madoff is secretly a vassal of Dick Cheney, I think Madoff was evil enough and rational enough to know how to exploit the self-destructive tendencies of his victims.
