2. Eighty-eight percent of that top 1% are Republicans
3. Under Bush I, the savings and loan industry was allowed to go bust so that Bill Seidman, the former chairman of the Resolution Trust Corporation (where there were many allegations of fraud) could sell off most of the S&Ls at very favorable prices to well-known Republicans and Republican interests, resulting in a $500 billion loss to taxpayers
4. Bush I placed non-marketable, long-term, US Treasury Bonds with a 3% coupon rate into the Social Security Trust Funds, worthless paper (fortunately, this loss was redeemed during the Clinton administration)
5. Under Bush I, billions of deficit spending was placed "off budget"
Think of Goldman Sachs still advising a 'buy' on prime mortgage stocks, even as the company abruptly revealed billions of dollars in loss in shareholder equity. Goldman earned $69 million from Enron underwriting, the leader among the $323 million Enron paid Wall Street firms. Think of the young Henry Blodget, now famous as Merrill Lynch's never-say-sell tout for the same Nasdaq clients whose fees helped fuel Blodget's $5-million-a-year income (Merrill has begun settling investor lawsuits in cash). Think of Mary Meeker at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, dubbed the 'Queen of the Net' for pumping up Internet firms while Morgan Stanley was taking in $480 million in fees on Internet IPOs. The conflict is not exactly new but has reached staggering dimensions. The brokers whose stock tips you can trust are the ones who don't offer any." (William Greider. "Crime In the Suites," The Nation, February 4, 2002)
9. Under the Bush II tax cut, 93% of the tax benefits of this package went to those earning $200,000 a year or more--and the Obama junta is continuing these policies
10. The Bush II tax cut was a ten-year program, a $1.6 trillion tax reduction for the wealthy only
11. The Bush II budget and the Obama budget, involving spending plans and tax cuts over ten to twenty -five years, meant that we had an accumulated national debt by 2025 of over $30 trillion
13. Obama had no intention of creating or imposing fair financial standards, appointing Timmy Geithner to head the "Federal" Reserve, who was responsible for the subprime mortgage collapse of the American economy while he was head of the NY branch of the Federal Reserve
15. Obama and Congress will play a game--"Let's pretend to create an atmosphere for investor confidence"--but the cabal's same old criminal economic exploitation will continue.
16. The Demonic Cabal wants to recreate America into a totalitarian, fascist dictatorship, a Banana Republic where the rulers can simply carry out their economic, political, military exploitation schemes without any dissent on the part of an enslaved populace.
It has failed on all counts.
1. Some corporations have volunteered to credit stock options as expense.
2. There is a general atmosphere of growing distrust of Wall Street and the Demonic Cabal.
3. Anti-sweatshop campaigns have forced companies like Gap and Nike to reconsider some of their most reprehensible labor practices.
4. The Sanders-Harkin amendment bans the import of products made with child labor.
5. Legislation has been introduced that would end U.S. financial support for IMF programs that degrade the environment and undermine workers' rights, restrict the power of governments to regulate "hot money" capital flows, and give more bailouts to international bankers and investors.
6. Bernie Sanders, Independent U.S. representative from Vermont, and other legislators are introducing legislation to create a "new populist architecture" for the global economy.
7. Business Week endorsed a global write-off by financial institutions of much of the debt strangling world production.
10. The peoples of the world are slowly waking up to globalism's disastrous repercussions.
"Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents' birthdays."
To understand the Demonic Cabal's global economic exploitation of workers, American and world citizens must wake up to the fact that we are at WAR against four enemies:

"The relevant question to ask then becomes -- how much deprivation do the American people have to suffer before they get their priorities straight?"
This grim reality of a struggle for existence against the very people who are supposed to be serving us is made clear by a number of courageous investigators.
"Two billion people, a third of the earth's population, live in post-economically collapsed nation-states. They live in circumstances where they wish they could afford the luxury of deciding where they stand on issues such as abortion etc., when in fact their Only Concern becomes the most ultimate economics -- how are they to find sufficient shelter and food, clothing and medicine every day in order to survive?"
1. The top 1% of the population in the U.S. controls 93% of the nation's wealth
6. There is a parallel between these criminal tactics of Bush I and the latest accounting tricks of so-called enronomics, which uses similar dodges to hide losses through offshore accounts and other fancy bookkeeping scams
7."The major houses of Wall Street play a double game with their customers--doing investment deals with companies in their private offices while their stock analysts are out front whipping up enthusiasm for the same companies' stocks.
8. With both Democrat and Republican presidents the federal government follows a ruinous policy of "bailouts," which involves "American" financial institutions, such as JPMorgan/Chase or Goldman Sachs, making bad loans in Mexico or Brazil or wherever and then receiving American tax money when their loans go south
12. Only after being forced to, did the Bush junta indict and prosecute high-level corporate executives such as Ken Lay, and the most enthusiastic prosecution of corporate crime has been initiated by state officials in New York and elsewhere; the Obama regime did not even consider prosecuting the Wall Street thugs or the Gulf of Mexico polluter: British Petroleum

14. There is no countervailing military, political, or economic power to keep the Demonic Cabal in line. We cannot expect a supine, bought-and-paid-for Congress to bring fiscal or political responsibility to the United States.
Soon, the "crisis" will be said to have
passed and the Demonic Cabal will continue with its plan to bring a police state to the United States.

"You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything he's no longer in your power he's free again."

Greider's One World, Ready Or Not warns that globalism is not merely a thorny problem for the academic economists - it is a life-or-death issue for every person. He points out that the same kind of runaway, unfettered finance capitalism has led in this century to two world wars.
Globalism's showcase nations are now in shambles:
South Korea's economy has shrunk by 45 percent
Thailand's economy has decreased by 50 percent
Japan is in deep recession (read depression)
Russia is in default of its loans, after following the dictates of the Harvard economic pundits
Indonesia's economy has shrunk by nearly 80 percent

9. Hong Kong and Taiwan have followed the example of Malaysia. Taiwan has banned George Soros or his companies from operating in Taiwan. Currency speculators, such as Soros, treat a country's currency as just another commodity. They bring ruin to a country's currency with absolutely no regard for the destruction they bring the nation and its people.
" Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."
Unfortunately, people like Greider offer only remediation of capitalism as a possible solution to the challenge of globalism:
Propagandistic illusions of vulture capitalism's rectification are merely fantasy solutions to the problems facing human society and our planet. The problems with capitalism are basic, endemic forms of corruption and devastation, not merely surface symptoms of minor difficulties. The capitalist system contains so much that is not only wrong but positively malignant and lethal that we must adopt a totally different system of economic principles and practices. It's now time for us to create more equitable economic policies and practices worldwide. One of our greatest areas of strength is our purchasing power and we should use it to make certain that governments and corporations serve the interests of the people, not the plutocrats.
"Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it."
"Power-worship blurs political judgement because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible."
"No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it. There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government."
