Proof That Wall Street & The Fed Runs Congress...

Remember when War Criminal, Hank Paulson called Congress
to a secret meeting, behind closed doors, and extorted
them out of $800 billion dollars under the threat of
imposing "Martial Law" in America, with the veiled threat
that markets would crash thousands of points over-night?

Well listen to this response from a U.S. Senator on why
she voted to reconfirm Ben Bernanke as Fed Chariman.

The Fed's Racket Exposed

by Tyler Durden

A reader provides us with the following letter he received
from Senator Mikulski in response to dissatisfaction expressed
about Bernanke's reconfirmation. The response from the Senator
demonstrates precisely the type of intellectual racket that
the Fed is exposing gullible and incompetent senators to, in
forcing them to pass law after law that is only in the Fed's,
and thus Wall Street's interests, as the alternative would
always be a "market nose dive."

Enough with the pandering. If senators can not think and
verify independently, they should be replaced immediately
with people who are capable and qualified to make critical
decisions about this country without Wall Street's influence.

Quote from a letter received from Sen. Barbara Mikulski D-Maryland

"I was advised that rejecting his nomination would cause
markets to nose dive, which would hurt retirees and families
saving for their future. I am not enthusiastic in my support.
But I think Mr. Bernanke understands the job that he still
has to do."

- Senator Barbara Mikulski

----------

Give them what they want, or "the markets will nose dive."

It worked on the bank bailouts.

It worked for Bernanke's reconfirmation.

And it makes the "flash-crash" that occurred during the
debate on Banking Reform regulation seem a little too
convenient doesn't it?

===================
===================

The more this plays out... especially after watching the
hacks on MSNBC, and CNN attack Rand Paul and start this
"Civil Rights/Racist" red herring attack on him...
that America is now so divided, and perhaps permanently so,
that a breakup of America, and a peaceful secessionist
movement is perhaps the best answer for all involved.

I think all roads are going to lead there.

The State's right movement is already a given. And most
assuredly, the Federal Government is going to make an
example of the first State, or two, that defies the
Federal government on a major political issue like
Obamacare.

I think you'll begin to see States band together for
strength in numbers.

If the Soviet Union can break up into satellites, why
can't the United States?

If the EU can't be held together because of such disparate
social, cultural, and policy differences - considering that
we're experiencing the same thing here, why is it so
inconceivable that the same thing will happen here?

Socially, culturally, and politically - the division
has already happened. A mass migration has already
started out of States like California, New York, and
New Jersey.

It seems the natural, if not inevitable evolution
of what's already starting to happen.

What do you think?
