The cream of the Democrats and Republicans hold stock portfolios worth tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. So it’s no surprise they’re very happy The Big Bailout is apparently going ahead. Their money is safe. How about yours?

They appear to be the ONLY people in America laughing their faces off about this today.

A Goldman Sachs discussion group is filled with dread about what comes next :

“PEOPLE ARE HORRENDOUSLY PISSED ALL OVER THE INTERNET

THERE IS DEFFINATE A SEVERE BACKLASH COMING…. QUESTION IS HOW BIG OF A BACKLASH

i have never seen the internet this pissed before and i have been online since 1992″

“People are extremely pissed off and alot of them. Personally, Im not sure what to believe anymore.”
“don’t underestimate the hillbillies when they get pissed off….. they own most of the guns in the country”

“people need to start canceling their insurance policy. then they need to stop paying their property taxes. then take more action if needed.”

Michael Rivero proposes a totally legal, but devastating, act of mass dissent against the state :

The instant this bailout passes I am taking all of my money out of the bank in protest.

THIS IS A PERFECTLY LEGAL FORM OF PROTEST. It is, after all, YOUR money. It is not a crime to take it back from the bankers who just now lobbied Congress into screwing you for $700 billion. The US Government cannot legally stop you from taking your money out of the bank, nor can they block you from recommending to your friends that they take their money out of the bank.

Yes, the banks just make money out of thin air for the loans that got then into trouble, but under the current laws, they need REAL deposits of REAL money on which to base their loans of created credit. For every $1000 withdrawn from an account, the bank has to call back in $10,000 in loans. It won’t take very many people deciding to empty their accounts to get the notice of the bankers and politicians, and of course, once it gets going, people will empty their accounts rather than risk being left empty-handed.

Some Republicans think the nationalisation of American banks and financial institutions signals the start of Martial Law In America :

And so for the first time in a century, the US Army will deploy armed combat teams permanently on American soil, starting October 1. It will be an “enduring mission”. They call it ‘Brigade Homeland’ :

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.

Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.

They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.

Civil Unrest and Crowd Control will clearly be the mostly likely crisis they’ll respond to. Luckily, they will have a “non-lethal package” to “restore normalcy” :

They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it.”

What has been tested in Iraq, will be fully operational for use against Americans to “restore normalcy” :

The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.

“I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered,” said Cloutier, describing the experience as “your worst muscle cramp ever — times 10 throughout your whole body.

“I’m not a small guy, I weigh 230 pounds … it put me on my knees in seconds.”

Traffic stoppers, road blocks, and Tasers, too.

American soldiers tasering American civilians….

They will be welcomed at natural disasters and massive train wrecks or more inexplicable skyscraper collapses, but not so much at massive protests in the streets of Washington and New York.
