Poll question: Re Fed giving another $100 Billion to Banks . . . shouldn't we be ....


writing and calling our Senators/Reps -- Governors, etal -- and making clear that we want this stopped ---

and start banging on corporate-media to start to challenge the Fed vs the Treasury???

Demand . ..

Social assistance for individuals losing their homes ---

No bailing out banks --- unless we own them afterwards.

Banks -- privatized profits/socialized losses --- ???

3. No. The Fed doesn't listen to anyone.
We should be...

Stocking up on crucial things.
Paying off our debt.
Hunkering down to for the long haul.
Not taking anything for granted.
Learning to live for long periods of time in isolation.

4. I so agree.
My husband & I have been planning on this for nearly 20 yrs. It takes some time to prepare for the type of disaster we've seen coming for some time now. You MUST start these preparations NOW!!

5. Wow, you figured this out twenty years ago. That is fantastic, and amazing.
Good for you! That is truly awesome.

I only figured this out in about 2003 or so. But luckily I had been stocking up on necessities and so forth for some time.

I'm truly impressed that you saw this coming that long ago.

Take care and be well.

9. Raygun & 41 were transparent to us. Don't ask me how we saw it & so many
didn't, but we have never been ones to fall in lock step w/the avg. Joe. That's why we're Democrats :evilgrin:!

We were considered tin foil hat types then for sure! :tinfoilhat: Recently some of those who thought we were crazy, have actually conceded that maybe we were on to something. Quite frankly, I would prefer we are wrong. But better safe than sorry is our motto.

I advise you to always be OBSERVANT & look beyond the obvious to what lies behind the stage.

Best of luck to you. :hug:

6. How would banging on the CM incite them to challenge the fed or treasury?
It IS, after all, the CORPORATE media?

I'm sorry. Perhaps, I've become horrifically cynical but, the suggestion seems futile under the circumstances.

Sorry. x(

8. How does banging on the corporate-press to include any questions in polls or
debates help us . . . ?

Do we suggest to the corporate-press that we believe what they are saying---???

Do we contact the corporate-press re Seigelman, re Fox's constant attacks on Obama?

Or do we let the corporate-press know that we know they are not telling the truth ---

not challenging the situation with the FED in socializing bank losses?

IMO, it's up to us ---

I think our Founders thought so as well . . .

I'm sorry. Perhaps, I've become horrifically cynical but, the suggestion seems futile under the circumstances.

Sorry.


I think probably someone mentioned that to the Founders re the Declaration of Independence . . . !!

I'm sure MLK, Jr. also heard that re ending Segregation ---

If you want to end the corporate-press, we're going to have to confront it ---
in as many ways as possible.
