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 05/21/2010 zerohedge.com
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?
