Somewhere we must find brave people to speak out. Those willing to take the frontline until we as a group get a backbone and begin to YELL OUT LOUD! We need a BLACK SWAN event to bring the PUBLIC to the breaking point. This slow steady decline and disruption is keeping the lid on protest and outright opposition. I do not believe we will find an answer with ANY political group today. We must speak as one voice. ONE AMERICAN VOICE! We have to not think as Democrats, Republicans or Libertarian. Think as Americans worried for the future of OUR children. And their children. We, you and I, are responsible for this. It is our job to clean it up. The takeover of the Treasury by the Fed, which is what I believe just happened, could lead to the collapse of middle class Americans as a group, unable to release themselves from the shackle of debt. Most are not ready to participate in protest or opposition. They have not had there lives disrupted. Without being SHOCKED into action most people are happy to give up any control to most any authority. As long as it does not affect them personally. That will soon change and most people will be directly affected by this economy. Add a possible war with Iran to that equation and you have a "Perfect Storm" or "Black Swan" event financially for oil. The recent postings on assorted chat threads about short sellers behaving like financial terrorists worries me. We have entered the era where postings of traders may be inspected for suspect content and arrests would be right behind for some with the charges being manipulation of markets. The "signings" by Bush have given the government whatever authority in charging anyone with anything. What used to be conspiratorial is now looking like truth. What used to be truth is now lies. We are living in a combination of "Brave New World" and "1984". I like Jessie Ventura's idea of a "None of the Above" vote. As strange as he is he makes sense. And he does not shy away from speaking his opinion. youtube.com youtube.com
