A coup unfolds in the United States, as “financial fascists” seek to give themselves power beyond even that of the president, sweeping aside Congress and the Constitution. Sign the $700 billion ‘rescue bill’ to transfer a trillion-plus dollars of private debt onto the bent backs of the American public, warns the treasury secretary, or all Americans will suffer the consequences.

The call to rise up storming blogs, but already heading for the mainstream media :

You are no longer Republicans, Democrats, or any shade of voter. You do not live in a swing state or a solid colored state. You are simply this: an American. That is the only side that matters. So call your members of Congress and demand, no, declare that unless they do their duty to the Constitution and to us, we will move to the streets – not because we want to, but because our founding fathers demanded this duty of each and every citizen in the face of such a domestic enemy. Demand – as is your right – that this bill be voted against and demand – as is your right – that the people plotting this treachery be held to account. We are either a nation of laws or we are no longer a democracy. Pick a side, because there won’t be another time, another moment, another chance to be a patriot.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, now aiming to seize control of any or all America’s financial institutions, to do with as he pleases, without congressional oversight, was warned repeatedly, for years, that the sub-prime mortgage fiasco was a looming, brutal reality. He did nothing. In fact, he tried to play down the coming financial carnage, while letting it unfold, unhindered. Here’s Paulson, April 20, 2007 :

U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said on Friday the housing market correction appears to be at or near its bottom and that troubles in the subprime mortgage market will not likely spread throughout the economy.“I don’t see (subprime mortgage market troubles) imposing a serious problem. I think it’s going to be largely contained….”

Mike Whitney, who warned of this financial crisis, and the scumbags behind it, years ago :

One minute everything is hunky-dory; the subprime meltdown is “contained” and “the fundamentals of our economy are strong”.(Paulson) And, less than a week later, congress is forced to surrender their constitutionally-mandated right to oversee spending in order to forestall economic Armageddon. Which is it? Or is the real objective just to keep the country on an emotional teeter-totter long enough for all state-power to be subsumed by the Wall Street Politburo?

No one knows what will happen next. We are in uncharted waters. And no one knows what the political landscape will look like after the dust settles from this outrageous power grab. According to Paulson, things are so dire, the entire nation will be reduced to smoldering rubble and twisted iron. But can we trust him this time after his long litany of lies?

Don’t let the prospect of a national crisis trick you into giving up your freedom, America. The people behind this scam are the same landsharks and flim-flam men who polluted the global marketplace with their snake oil and toxic sludge. These are the fraudsters who manufactured the crisis to begin with. This is just the latest installment of the Shock Doctrine; engineer a crisis, and then, steal whatever is left behind. Same shit, different day.

Be resolute. Don’t budge.

Our economic foundations may be crumbling, but or determination is not. This is our country, not Goldman Sach’s. The people who destroyed America must be held to account. Their time is coming. Justice first.

The ‘rescue bill’ may well be stripped of its more shocking demands as it heads towards reality this week, but Americans must never forget how they were blackmailed, so blatantly, so shamelessly, in September, 2008. It should stand as a never-to-be-forgotten warning to future generations. They will slink away and count their bonuses. But they will be back. From the Paulson proposal :

…designating financial institutions as financial agents of the Government, and they shall perform all such reasonable duties related to this Act as financial agents of the Government as may be required of them.

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

Incredible. And it’s not over yet.
