Guest Post: Lies Divide, Truth Unites

By Dylan Ratigan

The good news in America today is that many of lies from our leaders
and media no longer seem to be working.  Four
out of five
people view the current proposed financial reform as
ineffectual.  Many in Congress who voted
for socialism for the rich now look like they will be voted
out
for continuing those giveaways. 

Now the only way those Banksters can survive is to pretend that
their corporate
communism
is working even in the face of overwhelming evidence
to the contrary.  Most recently, they decided
that instead of taxing complicit financial institutions the cost of
their "Financial
Reform-In-Name-Only
", they will instead use what I call the Big
Tarp Lie
to pander for the vote of Senator Scott Brown and others.

The mainstream media rarely fights back against this lie, either by
an inability to understand, a desire to protect
their access
to these same Politicians and Bankers or an
unwillingness to go up against the very same financial institutions that
are often the only
thing between them and the unemployment line.

However, we the people have to fight back against these lies - and
thankfully we own the truth.

This lie must
be beaten back by all of us like whack-a-mole every time it rears its
ugly head.  Please help me by sending this information to any
Politician, Media Figure, Banker, Neighbor or Robot that you find
repeating it - they can take our money, but they don't own the truth. 

Let's
break it down:

1.  TARP itself hasn't even made money
AIG alone still owes us $75.6
billion
.  However, they always add
the caveat "Other than AIG..." when they say that the bailouts were "profitable". 
But the AIG money was DIRECTLY
PAID
to many of these same banks that "paid back their TARP" at an
outrageous 100 cents on the
dollar
!  Mind you, this was done by government
officials that were the former
employees and current shareholders
of the very banks they were
helping.  Let's make the banks like Goldman Sachs, Bank of
America and Societe Generale pay back the $105
billion
of stolen taxpayer money before we let anyone say "TARP was
paid back."

2.   TARP is a tiny little part of a massive amount
of taxpayer
support
.  TARP is actually less than 10% of your tax
dollars that have been handed to the banks.  And now the banks "paid
back" the tiny slice that is TARP with OUR money and you are supposed
cheer them for savvy.  At this very moment, the taxpayer is still owed $2.02
Trillion dollars
for the bailout by our Politicians and Banksters,
and that number is growing
every day. 

Never mind the money that these same banks make getting endless 0%
interest loans
from the Federal Reserve (aka You) while either they
lend it back to you at 14%
or just lend
it right to back the government
and pocket the yield.  Never
mind the multitude
of benefits
they get from being Too Big Too Fail.  But
you're not supposed to pay attention to that; you're only supposed to
notice how fast
they paid back TARP
!

So instead of these
Politicians looking for the only obvious place to find the money - clawbacks
from the people who continue to steal it - we are now being subjected
to outright lies as they once again pick the banksters over the people
who voted them in.  But don't let them, or anyone in the
media, get away with it without hearing from you.

There are two sides to every story, but only one truth.

- Edward R. Murrow

Murrow (and Kronkite) were both tools protrayed in high regard by the new msm tools that wished they possesed the same (fictional) clout. (So they can "change" the world by showing them the "light"). Of course, if they can't show the "dark", (Acorn or Black Panthers), then that is ok in their diluted minds as well. MSM news anchors would have a very high suicide rate if their minds were not diluted.

Actually, there are three sides to the story: yours, mine and the truth...

V.P. Bite Me, said that 3.5 million  jobs have been created due to Stimulus.........

He stated if THEY had not done what they did, growth would be near ZERO.

He failed to advise those 3.5 Million NEW jobs, were in China.

Nothing this regime states is verifiable by 3rd party statistics. They govern by deceit and sleight of hand. Fortunately for them, there were enough fools in this country to elect them. Not that the Republicans would be any better but I can't imagine the outright chicanery on every issue would be peddled by McCain. Maybe I'm naieve.

Truth does not unite.

Try telling Democrats that Clinton really didn't have a surplus. Or that the Feminist movement lead to lower quality education and medical care because intelligent women who's only channels to success which had been teaching and nursing were now given more opportunity. Or how Blacks equate intelligence with being White and vilify fellow students who try to achieve good grades. Or how the Women's movement is controlled by white females and virtually ignores the needs of Minority women. Or how Democrats treat Blacks like shit because they have no other party to vote for.

The opposite is true, Lies unite and Truth divides.

naw...ppl would give anything to go back to "Morning in America."

the only reason attitudes are "changing" is because people feel like they're not getting "theirs" or are being fucked over in some way.  Hell, "Drill Baby Drill" got a big chunk of the vote.

But on the way, a lot of the masses are going to cheer for "austerity" if the right cult of personality tells them to do so.  They'll applaud the selling out of America right from under their feet.

On a humorous note, I see an ad from WFC in the block that Tyler sold out to the big banks.  Something about "I want to pass on the wisdom that I've attained."  Given recent news, I was wondering why the old guy didn't look more like a mexican Pablo Escobar lol

Or that he's retarded.

"Just because he can't read a teleprompter and give a speech, or create jobs, or have a balanced budget, or win a war, or do anything right, that doesn't mean that he's stupid!  He just might not be able to speak well."

Goldman's rules for Monopoly:

Start game as usual.

The "Banker" can buy whatever property he lands on for
free, and collect rent on that property from other players when they land on it. 

If the Banker lands on another players property, the rent is paid directly from
the bank (e.g. Fed). 

Players other than the Banker MUST buy every property they
land on by borrowing money from the Banker.  If the player can not repay the
money loaned by his next turn, the banker can take the property (and give it to another player if he is a friend). 

All taxes and
fees (Chance and Community Chest) are paid to the banker.

call it Rentier Monopoly.

And when you pass Go, you collect so little that a rent should cost you the leg of the little dog piece or the arm on the horse rider.  Just start carving chunks out of your token.

This is the ideal world for the overclass.  Tons of little tokens navigating THEIR world and giving them a nice supply of shit they don't have to work for so that they can pass it on to their children.

Like I keep tellin people, all those Rothschild PALACES did not build themselves

Exactly the same thing happens in Greece by the Socialist Gvnt. Neoliberals are in all the political spectrum now they support the corrupt Socialist Gvnt that stole all our income in favor of the Banksters. The only difference is that in Greece Banks never returned the taxpayers money they got.

Fascism is here, and as the Socialist PM of Greece says: We need a Global Gvnt, and we need it fast. Global Banksters Gvnt to steal more money.

barry soetoro is an indonesian citizen (www.obamacrimes.com)

Rep. Paul Kanjorski said:

"On Thursday Sept 15, 2008 at roughly 11 AM The Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of money market accounts in the USA to the tune of $550 Billion dollars in a matter of an hour or two. Money was being removed electronically.  The treasury tried to help with $150 Billion. But could not stem the tide. It was an electronic run on the banks. The treasury intervened but had they not closed down the accounts they estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon. Within 3 hours. $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and collapsed and within 24 hours the world economy."

This "event" has never been investigated.   We are told that the Fed's announcement that all money amrket accounts would be insured up to $250,000 suddenly averted the panic in progress.  But do the math yourself: there's no way this was a panic of Joe SP at his PC, it's impossible for that much money to change hands in that period of time, and if it was a general panic, it is doubtful the annoucement would have stopped the supposed run on the banks by average joes. No, something else went on and no one will ever know what it was.
