The Bank of Ruthless

This is interesting. According to an article on OccupyCorporatism.com titled "Morgan Stanley is Insolvent – Only a Matter of Time Before Total Financial Collapse", http://occupycorporatism.com/morgan-stanley-is-insolvent-only-a-matter-of-time-before-total-financial-collapse/, the cause for the 2008 bailout of the banks was that China had purchased large quantities of mortgage-backed securities, worthless securitized loans which would never be repaid, and were prepared to send their “people” to American shores to seize property.

An invasion, in other words. War.

"To stave this off, the American taxpayers were coerced by former President Bush and former US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. During that incident, the US Senate was told emphatically that they had to approve a $700 billion bailout or else martial law would be implemented immediately."

Clever. Threaten "martial law", as if dealing with a "civil" problem, when all the while the fact is that a state of war was imminent.

Does "Gordon Gekko" Own Ass. Press?

In a "news" story called "Republicans stand together to oppose piracy law", an unidentified ASSOCIATED PRESS "journalist" (if you can't figure out why he's unidentified, I can't explain) writes:

"Standing in near unison, the four remaining contenders seeking the Republican presidential nomination are condemning a proposed anti-online piracy law that its critics say is overly aggressive."

OK so far. The next paragraph begins "Mitt Romney says".

Paragraph 3 starts with "Newt Gingrich says...".

The fourth paragraph opens "Rick Santorum says..." (and we all know what "santorum" means).

But the last paragraph...WAIT!...That WAS the last paragraph.


Can YOU figure it out?
