“ALL YOUR BANK ARE BELONG TO US” says Colonel Klink
I’m still trying to get my head around what the hell is going on, but best I can tell is that Colonel Klink, social climber that he is, has somehow lifted himself from an obscure commandant of Stalag-13 to the very highest levels of the American military industrial complex.
And he appears to be a mere thirty-two words away from unilateral control over the American banking system.
Where’s Hogan when you need him?
Seriously though, I’ve spent a good chunk of the last two days trying to get a better handle on what’s really happening. As someone who, until just about a week ago, knew virtually nothing of American or international finance, I’m the first to admit that I have no idea what I’m talking about. That said, here’s my take on it all; oddly enough much of which can best be summarized via this tiff between Naomi Klein and Andrew Sullivan:
I think they both might just be right. Certainly an administration that relies on shock doctrine to achieve it’s goals could leverage a generation of Americans raised on the concept of credit as money — after all, “Life takes Visa” doesn’t it? — to engineer a self-imposed financial disaster.
C’mon, let’s put on our tinfoil hats and ask a few “what if” questions.
- What if the current administration colluded with the likes of Goldman Sachs to setup mortgage packages that were difficult to trace and, more importantly, doomed to fail.
- What if these mortgages were promoted as part of an ownership society, a get-rich concept sold to an American public that grew up on credit and believing in the words of Gordon Gekko: that somehow greed “will save that malfunctioning corporation called the USA.”
- In other words, what if the current administration set out with the intent of producing a — this — disastrous event as a means of furthering an agenda?
Of course, some would call this financial terrorism:
And if it’s true, they’re damn right. But terrorism to achieve what end? What’s the agenda? More profit for Bush cronies as the dollar collapses?
I wonder if the Bank of Klink will offer a good Dollar to Amero exchange rate..
