Comes now the news Ben Bernanke has been reappointed as head of the Federal Reserve.
It seems to me like our whole nation has plunged deeply into a gigantic Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to the parasites, fools, and thieves of our financial system. How soon we forget the days when the hired political agent of Wall Street — the Tyrant Emperor George Bush II — threatens Congress with martial law and a complete meltdown of the financial system unless they take trillions from Main Street and give it to Wall Street. And there is Ben Bernanke, right in the middle of the robbery, egging it on, joining in the heist.
So what is our response to these wicked people who held (and hold) our nation hostage? Do we lock them up in jail and throw away the key? Not on your life. We give them even MORE money, and reappoint the arch-criminal of them all, Ben Bernanke, to another term as head of the Federal Reserve.
The worse they treat us, the more we apparently love them. This sounds like the Stockhold Syndrome writ very large, and it augurs very poorly for the future. If you reward crime, you get more criminals. That’s the basic facts of this life. So expect more taking from Main Street so the feds can give more to the fools, parasites, and thieves on Wall Street.
That’s what this game is about, and it will continue right up until the moment our entire nation falls onto the ash heap of history.
