What our domestic and international markets are experiencing is the complete and total breakdown of Capitalism. This is not the breakdown of Capitalism as an economic system. This is the utter failure of Capitalism as a political system.
This economic crisis was born in political corruption. This crisis was caused by the breakdown of our democracy by corporate bribery, not by a housing bubble. And reciprocally, the only path out of this crisis is by reestablishing our democracy and the democratic restraints on wealth and power required by our Constitutional Republic.
This crisis is what you get when you allow the rich and powerful to sweep aside our democracy, and impose corporate rule through bribery and corruption, steal the wealth of our nation, and concentrate it on Wall Street.
Naturally, after subverting our democracy, our corporate aristocracy completely deregulated and de taxed themselves. Our corporate government then crafted policies to enrich their corporate bribers by destroying our middle-class citizens, their social institutions, and their political power.
This intentional long-term impoverishment of our middle-class by our bribed politicians allowed our corporations to concentrate the greatest amount of wealth in the hands of the smallest group of people in human history.
This is not a partisan issue. Both parties have, and continue to cooperate very closely in subverting our Constitution and stripping our middle-class of their wealth. The Dems have perpetuated exactly the same financial and foreign policies as the Repugnants since they took office. They have maintained and assumed predominant control of the mechanism of corporate bribery and earmark payoffs that funds both parties.
As if marching in lockstep, both of our corporate parties have worked very closely together to move our manufacturing to foreign countries, make their corporate bribers exempt from taxes, exempt the corporations from regulation and oversight, all while moving as much cheap illegal foreign labor into the country to create wage levels that no honorable American would allow to exist in their country.
Our corporate elite and their wholly-owned political subsidiaries, the Dem and Repugnant parties, have disabled our democracy and instituted every social, economic, foreign and immigration policy necessary to steal the wealth of our nation from our middle-class, and concentrate it into the hands of their corporate bribe masters. Their efforts have destroyed our democracy, and their success at stealing the wealth of our middle-class has destroyed our economy.
The predictable byproduct of killing our democracy is that the health, wealth, welfare, and education of our citizens have been sacrificed to enrich their corporate bribe masters. As our stolen wealth continues to evaporate on Wall Street, Americans are becoming painfully aware that the politicians did not just steal their money, but that the social and natural infrastructures of our country have been stripped bare.
Betraying our country, stealing our money, draining our infrastructure, and de taxing themselves has been very profitable for our politicians and corporations. Betraying our democracy has allowed our corporate masters to concentrate the the vast majority of the wealth of our nation on Wall Street, where they just pissed it off.
Yet Americans are still being misled and confused by the politicians and corporate media as to what this crisis actually is, how it started, and how we can meaningfully address it. So let's start at the beginning, with the economic causes of this crisis.
Despite the propaganda of the corporate Media and the lies of our politicians, this is not a mortgage securities/credit crisis caused by the popping of the housing bubble.
Rather, the economic epicenter of this crisis is actually the product of the popping of a massive financial bubble in the heart of our financial markets, centered in Wall Street.
The financial bubble we are watching pop on Wall Street is the stolen wealth of our middle-class, the reward corporate America received after bribing both the Democrats and Republicans into submission. After stealing our democracy and our wealth, Wall Street was left completely untaxed and unregulated as they irresponsibly derived and leveraged our stolen wealth into a massive financial bubble.
Thus the true source of this economic meltdown, and the birth mother of the dot-com and housing bubbles sits in the corrupted political policies that allowed the massive concentration of our nation's stolen wealth on Wall Street.
As the stolen wealth of our middle-class was poured into the pockets of our corporate elite, Wall Street was flooded with our stolen wealth, where they leveraged it into a snowballing mass of expanding liquidity that funded and expanded the artificial, unsustainable housing bubble. This is the true source of the liquidity that has fueled the series of bubbles we have experienced during the last 15 years.
As you may now be beginning to understand, the true source of Wall Street's massive concentration of our nation's wealth was not due to their work or innovation, but was the direct product of bribing our politicians into transferring the wealth of our middle-class into their greedy hands.
Thus the heart and true source of this economic crisis is located in the breakdown of our democracy.
Our corporations and its wholly owned government has successfully broken our democracy, which allowed them to steal our money, and put on a Roman orgy-like frenzy of naked greed and meaningless consumption that has run unabated since the beginning of the first Clinton Administration, when the Dems completely gave up the ghost of our Constitutional Republic, and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Corporate America. Until now. Now the party's over, and it's time to make the traitors pay.
Let's be very clear about this: the cause of this bubble is nothing short of the stolen wealth of our middle-class creating a massive liquidity bubble in Wall Street. This money was provided to our corporations by the bribed politicians of both parties who have worked tirelessly to strip the middle-class of our wages, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.
Wall Street responded to the politicians's gift of our nation's wealth by creating a witch's brew of derivatives and leveraged investments that any honest government would have prohibited. But our bribed government and parties are incapable of honesty. They poured gasoline on the bonfire of our national wealth.
The middle-class, bless their stupid souls, fell into the trap of corporate greed. As their salaries went down, the amount of credit offered by the corporations got larger and larger, and they went deeper and deeper into debt as the massive concentration of our stolen wealth on Wall Street was loaned back to our middle-class at loan shark rates.
Clinton and Bush both just smiled, and encouraged the frenzy of greed, political bribery, and irresponsible consumption to grow.
And so the spiraling frenzy of greed has had no check, and this financial bubble as run through our economy, first fueling the dot-com bubble, and subsequently the housing bubble.
Few inside or outside of politics raised the alarm against either the political corruption that engulfed our government and was endangering our nation's financial health. In the meantime, our nation's long term health, welfare, and educational systems were stripped bare.
Mind you, these are the institutions that once promoted social stability, responsible economic growth, and assure that a basic level of equal opportunity existed in our society. Now these institutions are engines of social inequality.
Even more disturbing, now that the financial bubble in the heart of Wall Street has finally popped, none of these bribed tools of corporate greed, "our" politicians, have come clean and denounced the system of corruption that caused the breakdown of our democracy, of our social institutions, and eventually, our economy.
And under the present system of open bribery and corruption that dominates politics today, there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
Until our Citizens understand that all of our Congresses and the Presidents for the last 35 years have been no more than the bribed tools of Corporate bribery, and demand our democracy be restored, our economic system will continue to plunge.
Our politicians, with very few exceptions, have taken every step humanly possible to strip our citizens of their share of our nation's wealth, subvert honest democracy, and concentrate all of our wealth and political power into the hands of our corporate elite. And they are not going to be stopped until we outlaw corporate bribery, restore our democracy, and regulate commerce within the requirements of the general welfare of our citizens.
Personally, I believe that the only thing restraining our citizens from killing the politicians is not the rule of law, which the politicians and corporations long ago discarded, but the fact that there are so few citizens left in the US. The politicians are protected in their corruptions by the corruptions and greed of our so-called "citizens."
The only thing protecting our politicians from the wrath of our citizens is that there are so few of us left, and the personal ethical restraints of the few loyal citizens of our lost democratic republic still appear to be sufficient to restrain a bloody response to the traitors who have broken our democracy and stolen our rights and wealth. But shooting a whole bunch of CEOs and politicians is completely justified.
It appears that the average resident of the US is not concerned with our nation's political and Constitutional values, and is therefore incapable of being concerned about the traitors that have subverted our Constitution, destroyed our democracy and continue to run our hijacked government into the ground.
But that's what you get when you allow our politicians to base the granting of citizenship on the pursuit of wealth and obedience to those who hold it.
The average resident of our country can no longer be considered a Citizen of our Democratic Republic, but can only be called consumers of a corporate empire. To really address the political corruption that caused this economic mess, we are faced with a daunting task: we must turn our consumers back into citizens and restore our democracy. But it must be done: The only way we can stop this economic meltdown is to change who runs our government from the corporations to the citizens.
But we face great obstacles. Our so-called "citizens" appear to be incapable of being offended by the corruption which feeds their consumption. They live in corruption like a pig lives in shit. Despite that fact, they are not immune to the repercussions of their unbridled greed.
The political and economic corruptions caused by our citizen's inattention to preserving their democracy is going to hurt them badly. I'm afraid that the level of pain required to wake up our sleeping citizens to the dangers posed by the traitors who have stolen our country, and our money, is going to be so high that they will not act until their ability to maintain sufficient work, food, shelter, and clothing is threatened.
But since our middle-class has not objected as we have forced them down on bended knee to live like mexican peasants in their own country, this may be difficult. But things are changing rapidly. It is very possible that the middle-class's loss of the false equity in their houses and their loss of the line of credit that has kept them consuming more as their incomes have plunged, may just do the trick.
In any case, both parties are in on the scam. Both parties receive massive bribes, their cut from our stolen wealth they have given to Wall Street and Big Oil, followed closely by the other corporate interests who bribed our democracy into submission to their will.
The republicans and democrats, despite their very superficial differences, have worked very closely together to strip our middle-class of their share of our nation's wealth and push the loot to their corporate bribers, led by Wall Street. The main weapons both parties have used against our citizens has been open corporate bribery, which has directly led to NAFTA, massive illegal immigration, and sending as much of our work to China and India as possible.
Let's see if I'm right: let's completely ban corporate bribery, restore our democracy, and see what the people have to say about these criminal policies, criminal politicians, and the crimigrant foreign minions of greed who have flooded our country to feed from the hand of our corporate masters.
These bribery-fueled policies have separated the American middle-class from their just share of our nation's wealth, and this stolen wealth has been manipulated and magnified into the vast pools of leveraged private wealth that Clinton launched into the Dot-Com bubble, and his man Greenspan later wrangled into the housing crisis. But hey, what were they going to do with all our stolen money? Give it back? Ha! When the dot-com bubble burst the stolen wealth of our nation was quickly transferred into the housing bubble.
Now the collapse of the housing bubble has exposed the real bubble, the financial bubble caused by concentrating our nation's stolen wealth on Wall Street.
The only way to restore our economy and deflate the bubble in Wall Street is for the citizens of our country to take our money back, drive the corporate politicians out of office and into jail and onto the gallows, and give their foreign minions a head start in their impending run for the border.
Although the pain we are now experiencing is economic, the cause of this crisis is political treachery, and our pain, and the incredible pain to come, was caused by the corporate takeover of the Dem and Repugnant parties.
This result has been a long term trend of deregulation and de taxing of corporate American, and especially Wall Street, at the same moment and in conjunction with our political traitors instituting policies of "globalism," and massive demographic growth, which really means sending the jobs they cannot get illegals to do here to China and India.
This resulted in the spectacle of our corporations, politicians, and illegals joining forces to use the poverty of the world, and illegal Mexican peasants here, as a tool to disenfranchise and impoverish middle-classes around the world, completely break our democracy here, and impose a corporate "global" state in place of our democratic republic. The Dems have been no more than willing bitches to the corporate power that has stolen our government.
Internationally, our parties and Corporations have joined together to use Our Broken Democracy to create an Empire and impose dictators, if not just openly support tyrants, under the colors of our flag.
The parties' and corporation's corruption has been so successful and complete that they were able to create a financial bubble on Wall Street of a size unparalleled in economic history, with the stolen wealth of our middle-class.
Thus what we have here is an economic crisis born out of the breakdown of our democracy, not just a simple economic crisis caused by a mysterious housing bubble.
Now it should be becoming increasingly obvious why our Revolutionary Forefathers prohibited Aristocracy, required democratic forms, gave regulation of commerce to the people, strictly limited and checked governmental power, and established strong civil rights for our citizens.
Our present government represents none of these principals or values. They are, to put it briefly, TRAITORS. Thus the economic cause of this crisis is not a centered in the bursting housing bubble, it is actually the bursting of the financial bubble caused by concentrating our nation's stolen wealth in Wall Street. This financial bubble did not just happen. The real cause of the bubble in our financial markets sits squarely in our government's allowing their bribers to steal the wealth of our nation.
This is why our government is incapable of addressing the crisis: If they admit that they are the cause of the crisis, the basis of their corrupt power will disappear. And few in our government would be hold office in non-corporate funded elections. Therefore the only answer to the economic meltdown by our corrupted government is to continue to do what they have done for the last 35 years: pour massive amounts of our wealth into Wall Street to bail out the massive losses of their biggest bribers on Wall Street. As they never represented the people, only fooled them, our politicians are incapable of serving our people, let alone ending this crisis, and must be reformed into democratic forms or removed by any means necessary.
Thus the only way we can stop the economic bleeding is to address it at its cause: we must stop corporate wealth from perverting our democracy, restore our democracy, and bring the wisdom of our people to bear on regulating markets, rather than continuing to allow our corporations to regulate our citizens by bribing our politicians.
And if we have to shoot a few Democrats, Republicans, and CEOs to make the rest of them loyal to our Constitution, it is a cheap price to pay.
It's time to fertilize the tree of liberty.
