We know who did this to America by Leon Fisher, Unknown News leonjfisher@webtv.net       June 29, 2008 There are many who believe that a diabolical plan has been implemented by Globalist conspirators to deliberately destroy the economy of the United States, the purpose of which is to remove America's strong and influential middle class in order to eliminate opposition to a one-world order scenario. While this is possible, it is not likely. Although this cannot be entirely ruled out, such a conspiracy to be successful would have to involve thousands of diverse players, all of whom would have to be bribed, intimidated, or some- how convinced to put their own interests aside for an agenda that would lead to their own ruin as well. What would be the point in destroy- ing those who create and contribute the most wealth upon which these parasitic capitalists prey upon to perpetuate their own miserable existence? No, I do not believe that the economic turmoil we are seeing is the result of a master plan orchestrated by a secret group of powerful individuals with its ultimate goal of conquering the World, but that of Capitalism, unregulated and out of control. Out of control to the point where the steps which have been taken to increase profit, such as free trade in which the outsourcing of industry and jobs is a major factor, can no longer be reversed. The success of the Wall Street bankers to secure billions in short-term profit at the expense of the American worker is now coming full This time the debacle cannot be blamed on a bearded man living in a cave in Afghanistan, but on the voracious greed of Capitalism, whose clean- shaven, smartly dressed devotees have systematically stolen everything not nailed down, and are trying to rent and lease everything else, including America's highways, bridges, ports, etc, -- all built and paid for long ago with taxpayer dollars. Where this situation goes and when it ends no-one can say, but one thing is certain: We know who caused it and we should not let them get away with it. circle. Without the good-paying jobs which had created and maintained a class of consumers with the necessary purchasing power critical in maintaining a vibrant and healthy economy, it is no wonder things are falling apart. The politicians in Washington, the enablers of this latest disaster who never saw a "free trade" treaty they would not vote for, have responded to the rapidly disintegrating economy with a one-time $600 per head rebate in the hope that a purchase of a high definition TV set will help to turn things around. Franklin Delano Roosevelt must be rolling around in his grave. What is happening to America and affecting the rest of the world is not a conspiracy of the Bilderbergs, but an almost complete disconnect between America's political and business leadership, both of which are proceeding on a separate course further and further away from their responsibilities to their fellow citizens with each passing day. In contrast to the opinion of a majority of Americans, the Washington politicians through the imbedded corporate-controlled media attempt to justify their actions as being beneficial to the American people when it is painfully obvious the exact opposite is true. The fact of the matter is that things are out of control to the point where Congress, whatever it decides to do, is not going to help. Legislation, made into law decades ago to serve the interests of a small body of bankers, shareholders, and politicians, has come back to haunt them. While the Fed ponders raising interest rates to save the dollar, the Stock Market has taken another drubbing and a barrel of oil has risen to $140. No my friends, no-one could have devised such a plan to ruin so thoroughly the economy of the United States as the manipulations of Washington and Wall Street. This time the debacle cannot be blamed on a bearded man living in a cave in Afghanistan, but on the voracious greed of Capitalism, whose clean-shaven, smartly dressed devotees have systematically stolen everything not nailed down, and are trying to rent and lease everything else, including America's highways, bridges, ports, etc, -- all built and paid for long ago with taxpayer dollars. Where this situation goes and when it ends no-one can say, but one thing is certain: We know who caused it and we should not let them get away with it. © by the author.   We're usually unable to forward readers' emails, but both readers and authors are invited to visit our 'dialogue' page for two-way communication: unknownnews.org/dialogue.html   This is an archived Unknown News page.
