As the economy threatens to sag into a double-dip recession and support for Obama plummets, the powers-that-be pull out their three aces:
1. A bill to regulate the banks – hailed as the stiffest since the Great Depression – passes the Senate 60-39
(what the bill really does. besides give expanded power to the Treasury, is described here)
2. Goldman settles civil fraud charges brought by the SEC for $550 million (this doesn’t even amount to a slap on the wrist; it’s more like a friendly pat on the fanny)
3. BP suddenly manages to cap the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Sheer coincidence? Or more theater intended to manipulate the public?
Update: I note that Kurt Nimmo has a piece on the financial regulations at Infowars on July 16, 2010, the day after thist post, entitled “Three-Card Monte.”
So the bill allows the Gov’t to steal from the slighty productive rich to give to the bankster rich?
They are laying it on thick! Incredible how the ebb and the flow are orchestrated. While many fall to the contrived rythmn, reality persists. Of course, now I increasingly distrust most of what “I know”…Short of direct experience, I am now increasingly leery of how the effects of propaganda and indoctrination have rendered me rather moronic.
