Pondering on Thugs

Paul Wolfowitz, World Bank. I'm still pondering that one. In some way it makes perfect sense, considering the times we're living in. With Wolfowitz, Greenspan, Bolten, Negroponte, Chertoff, and dozens of others it appears Bush has a policy of no Jew left behind. Politically if Bush's Jewish appointments were replaced with all Blacks or all Arabs, then white America, the MSM, and your daddy would be raising hell. Not all hijacking is done with box cutters.

Modern America reflects the World Bank. For instance, the recent growth of those paycheck loan businesses. Those "check in to cash" places, where citizens can draw money from the next paycheck in order to survive another week. No longer are folks living "paycheck to paycheck" but now next pay period's paycheck to next pay period's paycheck. When the first such place opened in my town, in a hole in the wall next to the video rental shop, I wondered how there would be any profit in that sort of setup. I was under the naive notion that not many people had to live more than a week ahead of their earnings, but obviously, a great deal of profit is to be made as now our town of 17,000 has 6 or more "check in to cash" places. There are also as many pawn shops and several places that loan money on car titles, if you manage to own a car long enough to pay it off, or even the old beater you bought with a tax refund can get a couple of hundred dollars in your pocket.

Such "predatory lending" tactics are the World Bank, and the other loan sharking arm of the elite, the IMF. As the WB and IMF have perpetrated money lending scams on the third world for decades, suffocating and exploiting the poor, the little quickie cash joints for America's lower classes are doing the same. Charging excessive fees, taking your collateral and/or at worst your freedom if you don't pick up that bad check. Keeping folks in an endless cycle of borrowing/spending cash they don't have. The usury in credit card lending is a fine example of modern banking, and here to stay. Aren't the new bankruptcy laws going to be fun? I somewhat agree with those, however. As I've never filed bankruptcy it does irk me to see others who have filed 2 or 3 times in their pursuit of the American Dream.

Wolfowitz will be as ingenious as Greenspan, godfather of the Federal Reserve Racket and an "intern" to several presidents. We can credit Alan as the man who, since 1987, has led us to where we are today. He scurried from one administration to the next supporting what's best for the ruling class, approving tax cuts to the top percenters, and the cutting of social programs to pay down the deficit. So short-sighted he didn't see the tech bubble nor the coming housing bubble. Greenspan, who has recently been pointing out the merits of a consumption tax. And if you've checked into that one you know who's gonna get consumpted.

But back to Wolfowitz. A perfect choice to head the biggest extortion racket in the world. A man with perpetual priapism for war, with a résumé of lucre and avarice, so in style and in your face. A man who can twist arms. Who knows, maybe he can simply demand debtor nations pay back loans with pounds of flesh, foreign troops for Bush's TWOT (the war on terror). Wolfie says he truly believes the role of the World Bank is to end poverty. "End poverty", more bumper sticker ideology that Joe 6-Pack will buy, put it on a ribbon. Are we to believe guys like Greenspan, Wolfowitz, Bolten, Chertoff, Negroponte desire only to follow the noble mission of making the world a better place for us? Does anyone still believe the bullshit that is being shoveled from the top by their appointed "experts," carrying PhD's (Piled Higher & Deeper), lauding years of public service on their rap sheets? It can't get much deeper folks.
