re: Democratic Majority Whip Dick Durbin acknowledged the voters’
defeat by the discredited banksters. The banks, Durbin said,
“frankly own the place.”

-- Repeal of key parts of Glass Steagal.
-- Commodity Futures Modernization Act Of 2000.
-- Unregulated OTC derivatives.
-- Removal of SEC leverage limits + self regulation for I-Banks.
-- Greenspan Fed pedal to the metal for three years.
-- Fannie & Freddie turned into toxic waste dump.
-- CDS/CDO tsunami with AAA rating rubber stamp.
-- Billions in ill-gotten gains.
-- Losses hidden in off balance sheet SIV's.
-- $100+ million dollar golden parachutes for breaking the bank.
-- Trillion Dollar Bankster Bailouts post bubble pop.
-- Unaudited, unregulated Fed with unknown on/off balance sheet transactions.
-- IMF raising Bank loss estimate up from $2.4 to $4.1 Trillion
-- Bailout, after Bailout, after Bailout.

And Durbin says - "the bankers own Congress?"

Sounds like closet militia-speak to me.

I think the Durbster needs a little waterboarding.

Someone needs to call Napolitano and have Homeland Security
add "majority whips" to that potential domestic terror list.
