There is off-color language here. I will leave it to each of you to decide if the content sounds reasonable or is just a tinfoil hat rant. The writer works for Rolling Stone, not exactly the first source that comes to mind for astute analysis of complex subjects like investment banking and Federal Reserve policy. However, the article does offer an interesting explanation of the cause and potential effects of the current Wall Street bailouts.

BREITBART: Online activists on the right, unite!
Andrew Breitbart
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
A digital war has broken out, and the conservative movement is losing. Read the comment sections of right-leaning blogs, news sites and social forums, and the evidence is there in ugly abundance. Internet hooligans are spewing their talking points to thwart the dissent of the newly-out-of-power.

Beyond AIG: A Bill to let Big Government Set Your Salary
By Byron York
Chief Political Correspondent 3/31/09
It was nearly two weeks ago that the House of Representatives, acting in a near-frenzy after the disclosure of bonuses paid to executives of AIG, passed a bill that would impose a 90 percent retroactive tax on those bonuses. Despite the overwhelming 328-93 vote,…

THE TRUTH -
Quote ~
"When people are worried about their survival, it is quite easy to persuade them to suspend what seems like the abstract concept of democracy. But once you have given up, as citizens, that power of restraint over your elected government, you can say goodbye to it forever."

Folks, Pay attention to Geo-politics and the G20 this week....
I think this is the start of the real underpinning of an economic crash of the dollar.
Big world players who hold a lot of our debt (aka. China) will sing this song to keep America 'honest' and fall right in line.
Obama and the fed won't be able to print enough funny money after that.
This could become an implosion and SHTF moment.

Instead of living in fear and anxiety. Learn to protect yourself and exercise your 2nd Amendment right and responsibly protect yourself.
No one can protect you by proxy in your community from violent criminal actors. It is your responsibility to secure your person.

Ask yourself, why was the BATFE sent en masse to our border with Mexico by Homeland Security wonk Napolitano instead of the DEA?
The answer is simple. This administration can further it's agenda by making the 'war on drugs' a war on the Constitution yet again.

Drugs and guns are now being made synonymous 'evils.'
