Default Beware Of The Red Dot - Our Nation's Coup Defined

Now and then someone writes an article that makes me go wow, and this is one of them. The recent bailout in complete defiance of the people's will tells us that we know longer have a representative form of government, and this article describes it, rightfully, as a coup. As distressing as this all is, it will take something big for the people to stand up and say we've had enough. Maybe this bailout was the final straw.

Quote:
BEWARE OF THE RED DOT

by Alan Stang

I pledge allegiance to Goldman Sachs, and to the conspiracy for which it stands, one racket under Paulson, Communist and indivisible, with eviction and poverty for all.

The battle of the bailout is over. We lost. Despite the unprecedented opposition, despite everything we did, I doubt that many of my readers and listeners thought we could win. Now we need to analyze what happened, what it means and, most important, where it could take us. We do have some hints.

First, consider that the people of this country have never before expressed such rage, such antipathy to a bill. According to one report, the people were 300 to one against it. One Member of Congress received 15,000 messages about it. Ten were in favor. Another said 95% of the messages he got were opposed. According to one analyst, “the calls to Congress are 50 percent ‘No’ and 50 percent ‘Hell, No.’”

There has not been anything like it in the history of the country. So, the fact that Congress could impose this financial version of the Dresden firebombing in the face of such historic voter opposition – the fact that Congress could in effect spit in your face – is proof that representative government in the country is gone. The vote in Congress expressed the fact that we have government by coup; that the actual purpose of “representation” in Washington is to conceal its absence. Most people now see that.

Second, consider the nature of the opposition. Many bills have faced enormous opposition in Congress, yes. The opposition, however large, came from the group(s) the bill targeted. Here the opposition came from every identifiable group, racial, financial, cultural, sexual, geographical, etc. Indeed, like a natural disaster that cares nothing for the politics of the victims in its path, it left jumbled allegiances and loyalties like piles of wrecked furnishings behind.

For instance, Republican Congressmen Tom Tancredo, enemy of the illegal alien invasion and former candidate for President, along with John Shadegg, who recently responded to pleas from his constituents and decided not to retire, both voted for the coup. Liberal Democrats Loretta Sanchez, who stole “B-1 Bob” Dornan’s seat, and Brad Sherman, who was my Congressman when we lived in the San Fernando Valley, both voted against it.

Along these lines, both Senator B. Hussein Obama and el Senador Juan McCain voted for the coup. Why? Here are the top ten corporate PAC contributors to both candidates:

Communist Candidate A Communist Candidate B

Goldman Sachs $739,521 Merrill Lynch $379,170
UBS AG $419,550 Citigroup Inc. $287,801
Lehman Brothers $391,774 Morgan Stanley $249,377
Citigroup Inc $492,548 Wachovia Corp. $147,456
Morgan Stanley $341,380 Goldman Sachs $220,045
Latham & Watkins $328,879 Lehman Brothers $115,707
Google Inc $487,355 Bear Stearns $108,000
JPMorgan Chase & Co $475,112 JPMorgan Chase $206,392
Sidley Austin LLP $370,916 Bank of America $133,975
Skadden, Arps et al $360,409 Credit Suisse $175,503

Yes, I know that by now regular readers are long since familiar with my tricks, so I admit this is another. Notice that both Communist candidates are properties of the financial beneficiaries of the coup. They both belong to Goldman Sachs, one of them even more so. Which one is that? Paulson sent $739,521 to Senator Hussein, who wouldn’t pick his nose unless Hank approved. What was that you said about “change?”

The fact that the opposition was so vast and so varied means that millions who knew nothing now know a lot more. What do they know? For the first time, they understand that the Constitution is dead, exactly as late Republican Congressman Henry Hyde and el presidente Jorge W. Boosh have tried to tell us.
You can read the entire article at Alan Stang -- Beware of the Red Dot

Disclaimer: I omitted an anti-gay paragraph in the excerpt I copied above. Although I agree with most of the article, that part doesn't represent my views on homosexuality. The rest of the article is excellent IMO.

No, this bailout is not enough. The American sheeple don't have the collective will to defy the media, the Democrats and the Republicans.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

I'm not surprised that someone touting Red Scare v.3 is a bigot and utterly crazy. I had to stop at the remark about one percent of the US being willing to fight against the government. If this Alan guy is my liberator, keep me oppressed. I don't take kindly to homophobes and jingoists.
