Countries that see their wealth being drained away will soon enact tariffs and (if they're big countries) trade blockades. The whole mess will be a clusterfuck in no time at all as countries experiencing the greater losses try to disentangle themselves while the big banksters duke it out to see who gets to be the whole top of the dungheap.

Shoot, maybe we'll have to go back to barter for a while, not looking forward to that.

I'm starting to think "invasion by aliens" would be an improvement.

The great lesson of the last century is that no matter how little people have, they will fight to the death to keep it.

But I am not so sure it is at least for them...I feel sure they are sure that they can control the little people just fine...they sure do it here.

Is "Wall Street" the new euphemism for another group now ?

in our Constitution.

Under Article I, section 8,

The Constitution authorizes Congress

"To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;"

Here is the text of the relevant part of Article I, section 8. These days, we cannot read the Constitution often enough. Our government ignores it.

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;

The American people would be fools to sign on to such an agreement.

An entire shit load.

...the words Conspiracy Theory with: ''The Evening News.''

Actually it's one of their better ploys. This way they can openly plan our subjugation and indebtedness to the banks, and then play it all off as some kind of Kookie-kooks and CT knuckleheads, hardy-har-har-har -- and no one's the wiser.

- Pretty slick, that.....
