A picket line of dozens of protesters rallied around a large tent set up to dramatize the epidemic of "Hoovervilles" or tent cities in California due to the housing and job crisis. "The government has to do something about all of the people facing foreclosure and forced out into the streets," said Martha Rojas, member of the Labor/Community Coalition that co-sponsored the event. Rosie Martinez, executive board member of SEIU Local 721, said: "We're here fighting against foreclosures and for jobs and that's why we need the Employee Free Choice Act which helps people get the benefits and protections of a union." The Employee Free Choice Act was also one of the demands at demonstrations across the country sponsored by the Bail Out the People Movement.

Demonstrators promised to be back and hold more protests with creative strategies in getting the message out. "This crisis is occurring because this system of capitalism is broken and you can't fix the housing crisis and 11 to 20 percent unemployment in California by handing over 10 trillion dollars to the banks which exacerbated this crisis. You do, however, make change by handing that money over to working and poor people who can make decisions on fiscal spending based on people's real needs, not profit. We will be bringing back the strategies of activists and communities in the 1930's depression and there will be no business as usual - On To May 1st," said John Parker from the Bail Out the People Movement.

Usury Remains Untouched
Jim Kirwan
3-25-9
"We [have] dismantled the most ancient of human laws, the law against usury, which had existed in some form in every civilization from the time of the Babylonian Empire to the end of Jimmy Carter's term." From: Infinite Debt, Harpers' Magazine - How Unlimited Interest Rates Destroyed the Economy." By Thomas Geoghegan

THOMAS GEOGHEGAN: In the article, that appeared in Harper's, I've talked about the fact that we've not focused enough on the big deregulation that precedes all other deregulations, and that's the ceiling that has existed on the financial sector since time immemorial on the amount of interest that banks can get from their clients, their customers, their depositors. Historically, and even up through movies like It's a Wonderful Life with Frank Capra and Mr. Potter and George Bailey, the interest rates in this country were capped at eight percent, nine percent. In the 1970s, we began to deregulate this, and then we had a massive big bang with a Supreme Court case that effectively knocked out all the interest rate caps. And we have today, taken as common, that banks can charge 17, 18, 19, 30, 35 percent, not to mention payday lenders charging 200, 300, 400 percent in states like Illinois, California."
"If you're able to charge 30 percent or, in a payday lender case, 200 or 300 percent, you don't care so much if the loan-in fact, you actually want the loan not to be repaid. You want people to go into debt. You want to accumulate this interest. And this addicted the financial sector to very, very, very high rates of return compared to what investors were used to getting in the real economy, the manufacturing sector, General Motors, which would give piddling five, six, seven percent returns.
So the capital in this country began to shift in the financial sector. That's why the financial sector began to bloat up. That's why we ended up, by 2006, having a third of all profits going into the banks and the financial firms and not into the real economy." (1)

These cords of dynamite that blew the lid off interest caps; have taken away our freedoms and insured that, like our money, our financial options have nearly been destroyed. This all began with the appointment of Gerald R. Ford and the 25th Amendment that made his administration possible. Ford did a lot more than just officially pardon Nixon: because he also appointed Rockefeller as his VP, who was able to quietly connect all those secret decisions that linked corporate banking to the military-congressional-industrial-complex; which opened the way for the formal creation of the New World Order, and simultaneously unplugged the public from any role in this entire travesty, as depicted in the 1974 illustration above.
The recent changes in the Bankruptcy laws, penalize individuals far beyond what most people can afford: while at the same time Congress liberalized the Business Bankruptcy Laws to the point where when a business goes bankrupt today; this amounts to taking a brief shower that allows them to shed all of their most painful obligations while retaining all their assets. In other words; Bankruptcy for Businesses is the exact opposite of what happens to individuals, when they are forced into personal Bankruptcy. And it is this form of bankruptcy that awaits the automotive industry, and probably almost every major corporation that still has labor contracts or social obligations to their employees, such as retirement accounts, or medical guarantees. So when you hear about how dire things will be if one or more of our major industries is about to be forced into bankruptcy, you might want to run it through this simple lense-before deciding as to "what will be lost."
The 'Bankruptcy Card' now belongs completely to the owners, just like their "get-out-of-jail-free" Card. There are so many different facets to their use and abuse of Usury that it literally boggles the mind. But then that is why 'Usury Laws have existed in some form in every civilization from the time of the Babylonian Empire,' except for now, under the watchful eye of the Illuminati and the New World Order.
For instance; 'the problem' that Obama and Geithner supposedly addressed was "toxic housing stocks" when the real problem is still "toxic banks, and their thoroughly criminal practices and procedures. By the end of January of this year the FED had already dispensed $11.5 Trillion to the shadow government of this country-yet MSM is currently claiming that only $4 Trillion plus has been allocated thus far (about a third of the actual amount). Until government begins to level with the public this monstrosity will only get bigger because the real causes of all our problems are in the details of everything they say they're doing; and are not mentioned in any of the endless press conferences that Obama continues to give. (2)
Yesterday's announcement offered this "deal" to the taxpayers. 'We put up 94% of the investment while the private financial institutions put up 6% of the investment: Then we and the "vulture capitalists" each get 50% of the profits, if there are any. This is the brilliant plan that Geithner and Obama would not reveal the details of, the first time they tried to force this down our throats. Yesterday was a re-run, nothing new, except that this time they were comfortable with telling us about this, as they were certain that none of the idiots in the public would understand what is really going on.
There are no real changes in the way that bonuses are paid either, except for AIG. They failed to mention this part of that deal as well. The changes only apply to AIG, and not to any of the other obscene bailouts or the outrageous bonuses paid to their executives-because as usual they haven't fixed the system: They have only tinkered with one instance of 'a problem' that managed to seriously anger a great many people. What happens when and IF the public ever learns the truth about the entire monetary collapse that is continuing without interruption in the real world? I'd love to hear about what happened to that $11.5 Trillion (as of 1-31-09) that has since been added to, no doubt: How about you, aren't you even curious?
There is a 'solution' floating around out there in the shadows: it's called the 28th Amendment and could, if enacted, eliminate the corporate personhood status, that has caused all this criminality to have such a hugely successful run through this lawless place that it has structured, since that travesty was successfully created out of the 14th Amendment.
The 14th Amendment was used by the corporations to acquire personhood. But the 14th Amendment was intended to protect the then recently-freed African-American slaves from racism-just one more example of the strong-arm legal tactics used to alter this Republic and turn it into just another fiefdom of, by and for, the Super-rich! (3)
If we do not begin to protect ourselves from this government, then we shall become the new slaves that the Illuminati and the New World Order were formed to create here, in the first place.

Another option besides bailing out banking CEOs with billions just to watch them stay in fancy hotels and buy new drapery is to allow the biggest corporate banks/lenders/etc... (AIG, BofA, Citi, etc...) to collapse and be replaced by locally owned and operated credit unions that are loyal to their community, not just focused on corporate profit..

To protect people from the instability of capitalism, a bailout for people would include a cost of living allowance, around 1,000 per month to cover the basic needs of a privatized economy, food, shelter, clothing and transport, the basic needs we all share..

Nobody asked to be born into a capitalist system where apples grow on trees for free yet we must pay for them because we don't "own" the land, or need to pay for rent because we don't "own" the home. The cost of living allowance covers the basic needs that are infact human rights, property of the commons (food, water, air, shelter, etc...)

For those who want more "stuff" than their basic needs, they can find work and get extra than their cost of living allowance, though if the job fails and they find themselves out of work, the cost of living allowance would remain intact and available to meet their basic needs..

One wonders why the latest "nutcase" chose to go on a shooting spree in an immigration center (or post office, or public school, or other places where relatively innocent people are) and as of yet have avoided corporate boardrooms where the true villains reside..

Only Ted "Unabomber" Kaczynski has gone after the corporate CEOs with a mail bomb, and he only got the secretary of Exxon's CEO. Nice try, but no cigar..

Why not go for broke and enter the AIG boardroom and send all those corporate crooks off the the "happy hunting ground", it would be doing the people and Earth a great big favor..

Yea,thats's a real meaningful action isnt it?....as long as it's somebody else besides you who walks into that boardroom and starts wreaking havoc,right?

99% of the American voters have chosen much more harsh lives for third world peasants by voting for Democraps and republitrash.

Now they whine about how the harsh lives they democraticly chose for third world peasants now applies top them TOO.

SCREW YOU. Reap what you have sown.

It is kind of hard to accept that I actualy agree with a devil worshiping prick such as Lord Locksley. but even abroken clock has the right time twi ce a day.

response;

Choice? Who said anything about choosing Democrats or Republicans? As if there is a third party option that actually has the chance of being elected?? Blaming people in the U.S. for lacking a real choice in voting is another form of scapegoating, now every Joe and Jane Pickup is going to be held personally responsible for the sufferings of the people in other countries because we cannot vote for anyone other than the "lesser evil" candidate?!

Either way, don't blame it on me since i voted for Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney..

Hey, dance with the Devil, get ready to die with the Devil. The people of the U.S. did not sow the crop of bankruptcy, property theft and home forclosures anymore than did the people of "third world" nations, we're all caught up in the same cycle of predatory capitalism. Sort of like Marie Antionette's "let them eat cake" response to the poverty of France's peasants, and we all know the response of the French Revolution to the tyrants of their day..

Sometimes a clean cut break is just what it needed to lop the head off the beast of predatory capitalism, and the current heads of the corporate beasts are located in those AIG (and many other) CEO boardrooms. This system is coming down no matter what, and very soon EVERYONE will be on the same playing field..

As far as this Lord Locksley character and all his royal wisdom goes, all i'm saying is that there are plenty of people out there already being pushed over the edge of sanity and appear to go on shooting rampages anyway. IF someone is planning this action, we as a society cannot stop them, nor should we even try. This would involve a surviellence state like never before, complete with "thought police" to detect anyone who may be unhappy with their place in this system. That choice is only between the indivudual and their "maker", or their own mind and spirit..

We can demonstrate all the ways that stress, inequality and isolation brings about these conditions that lead to suicidal behavior, and how to "fix the system" to alleviate these conditions, though without realizing that these conditions are inherent of corporate capitlaism, those conditions will not go away until the system itself does..

Whether the cause for the suicidal rampage is mental illness, stress from society or some combination of the two, it appears that completion of this suicide mission is the outcome regardless of whatever harm reduction interventions or stress prevention options exist, obviously they are ineffective..

What i'm saying is that IF someone were planning to go on a suicidal shooting spree, at least choose a better location with more fitting and deserving targets for elimination, such as an AIG corporate boardroom!!

IF it gets to the point where i do feel that a suicidal rampage is needed for my spiritual improvement, my first choice would indeed by the AIG boardroom. It would reflect the wishes of none other than GOD, as the voice of GOD talks to more than just one person. Lord Lockesly, do i sense a dare coming from you for me to engage this idea into reality??

Let me introduce you to my role model and hero, Ted K;

Interview w/ Green Anarchy;

"Kaczvnski soon came to the conclusion that reformist strategies that merely called for "fixing" the system were not enough, and he professed little confidence in the idea that a mass change in consciousness might someday be able to undermine the technological system. "I don't think it can be done. In part because of the human tendency, for most people, there are exceptions, to take the path of least resistance. They'll take the easy way out, and giving up your car, your television set, your electricity, is not the path of least resistance for most people. As I see it, I don't think there is any controlled or planned way in which we can dismantle the industrial system. I think that the only way we will get rid of it is if it breaks down and collapses. That's why I think the consequences will be something like the Russian Revolution, or circumstances like we see in other places in the world today like the Balkans, Afghanistan, Rwanda. This does, I think, pose a dilemma for radicals who take a non-violent point of view. When things break down, there is going to be violence and this does raise a question, I don't know if I exactly want to call it a moral question, but the point is that for those who realize the need to do away with the techno-industrial system, if you work for its collapse, in effect you are killing a lot of people. If it collapses, there is going to be social disorder, there is going to be starvation, there aren't going to be any more spare parts or fuel for farm equipment, there won't be any more pesticide or fertilizer on which modern agriculture is dependent. So there isn't going to be enough food to go around, so then what happens? This is something that, as far as I've read, I haven't seen any radicals facing up to."

At this point he was asking me, as a radical, to face up to this issue. I responded I didn't know the answer. He said neither did he, clasped his hands together and looked at me intently. His distinctly Midwestern accent, speech pattern, and the colloquialisms he used were so familiar and I thought about how much he reminded me of the professors I had as a student of anthropology, history and political philosophy in Ohio. I decided to relate to him the story of how one of my graduate advisors, Dr. Resnick, also a Harvard alumni, once posed the following question in a seminar on political legitimacy: Say a group of scientists asks for a meeting with the leading politicians in the country to discuss the introduction of a new invention. The scientists explain that the benefits of the technology are indisputable, that the invention will increase efficiency and make everyone's life easier. The only down side, they caution, is that for it to work, forty-thousand innocent people will have to be killed each year. Would the politicians decide to adopt the new invention or not? The class was about to argue that such a proposal would be immediately rejected out of hand, then he casually remarked, "We already have it--the automobile." He had forced us to ponder how much death and innocent suffering our society endures as a result of our commitment to maintaining the technological system--a system we all are born into now and have no choice but to try and adapt to. Everyone can see the existing technological society is violent, oppressive and destructive, but what can we do?

"The big problem is that people don't believe a revolution is possible, and it is not possible precisely because they do not believe it is possible. To a large extent I think the eco-anarchist movement is accomplishing a great deal, but I think they could do it better... The real revolutionaries should separate themselves from the reformers… And I think that it would be good if a conscious effort was being made to get as manv people as possible introduced to the wilderness. In a general way, I think what has to be done is not to try and convince or persuade the majority of people that we are right, as much as try to increase tensions in society to the point where things start to break down. To create a situation where people get uncomfortable enough that they’re going to rebel. So the question is how do you increase those tensions? I don't know."

Maybe Ted's only error was in sending in message in the mail, where only the secretary was effected. If he would have walked into the Exxon CEO office to deliver the message himself personally, the target would have been met and the outcome would have been achieved!!

So go ahead, Lord L, dare me!!

We both know you're not going to risk getting sent to prision for the rest of your lumpenproletarian life by committing mayhem in some boardroom to demontrate your 'revolutionary' mojo...either you do it or you talk about it....you have chosen to merely talk about it.....so rave on

If our government really wants to stimulate this economy, then STOP GIVING THE CORPORATE FAT CATS ALL THE MONEY!

If I had been given 1/1000 of 1% of what the big banks have gotten to bail them out, I would have paid off my credit cards... bought a big TV... and maybe even a car!

In short... I (like millions of other Americans) would have actually stimulated the economy.

Instead, all the taxpayer $$$ are going to the same greedy bastards that got us into this economic mess in the first place.

It's unfortunate that the president of this great country ran on a platform of "change we can believe in", but now that he's in office... It's gone back to business as usual. (yes, I voted for him, but I truly believe that he was just the lesser of two evils)

If we really want to get things back on track, then how about giving all that money to the hard working Americans who are just trying to feed their families. You know... the people that DIDN'T cause the financial disaster we're in right now.

And before anyone out there starts screaming about how that would be too socialistic for a capitalist society, think about it this way... Our government is giving away our money anyway, why not give it back to the people they took it from in the first place(us taxpayers), instead of the faceless corporations that are just going to keep it for themselves instead of stimulating our economy.

"...all the taxpayer $$$ are going to the same greedy bastards that got us into this economic mess in the first place"

Yeah...So???? Thats exactly how American Capitalism (Steal-it-all-ism) is supposed to work!
Considering that indisputable fact,there are also no easy solutions to remedy such an onerous,entrenched situation.As Hitler said "The great thing about fascism (capitalism) is that it forces those who oppose it to use similiar means to fight it!"

Soon you'll have to eat your credit cards!

Hey Sheepster do you remember the day the board was attacked by Trolls and we repelled all boarders with KPC?
