Not our own brand religious opportunists but its nice to see there’s common values between the fates

The soldiers won’t be ready until at least Wednesday.

Sorry bock, don’t mean advertising for the competition but if you watch the clip, the congressman from texas is complaining about the lack of transparency in the $700 billion bill. He
is also complaining about the lack of involvement of
repulican congressmen in the decision making process and says
“Mister speaker, i know we are under martial law, as declared by the speaker last night..”

What already? Perhaps he got his facts mixed up, or perhaps he just let it slip out. Check it out for yourselves

This article from the wise up journal has alot of intersting threads to follow, but don’t pull too hard.
(mind you, slightly too many Wikipedia references for my personal confort but hey..)

It looks like yet another case of problem, reaction, solution. The powers that be (the real power that is) create a finacial crisis. The people freak out. “What are we goin to do?” they ask.
“Why give us 700 billion dollers”, the others reply.
Either the people agree, in which case … KA-CHING !!, or they start to say “hey, hang the fuck on a minute..” and start getting upity in which case we refer to the paragraph in Mr. Bocks post relating to Us army deployment inside it’s borders in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
Given the choice, i too would prefer to be seen as grossly incompetant and corrupt rather then traitorous rat, but there’s method to the mayhem in my opinion.

Try the Daily Kos too. More of a liberal slant than Sullivan and very influential on the web.

The conspiracy has been in the continual deregulation that was in place to control the greed. There used to be laws and regulations that would have prevented the over-extensions and leveraged positions that have now appeared. The same idiots who pass laws telling me I have to wear a seat belt while driving a car (and will ticket me for that offense alone even though I have committed no other violations while driving) removed all of the seat belts that used to restrain the bankers and protect the small investors.

The conspiracy continues in that the small investors and the non-investors are now being told they get to pay for the greed of the bankers with future tax money in a form of indentured servitude to the government.

The worst conspiracy scenario still waiting in the wings isn’t neccessarily the ones who planned all of this, but the ones who are waiting to sieze this opportunity as a way grab all the power and control for themselves. Right now the idiots in the government are scrambling around trying to fix a financial mess that can only be fixed by itself. In the meantime I am sure that lurking in the shadows are those who know that taking control is the real prize, not the money or the banks. Look how extravagant the lifestyle can be for a dictator even in the poorest of countries. The current financial crisis, though important, is yet another distraction to keep us occupied while the take over is plotted some more.

To say that this was a conspiracy/plan would be to flatter the buggers.
