The Quiet Coup

style=”font-style: italic;”>


“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they join you” goes the old saying, and that’s exactly how it’s gone for Peter Schiff, Nouriel Roubini, and others who trumpeted the housing and credit bubbles as the main stream press peddled lies from Paulson, Greenspan and Bernanke. Reality is setting in just a little bit more every day, and the general population is finally realizing the Emperor’s wardrobe was buried with Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.  Who could believe Bush on weapons of mass destruction? Only those who believe Obama is not working for the bankers at our expense. Those who believe one emperor will believe the other.

Personally I don’t believe those wacky conspiracy theories about secret plans for a one world government run by the bankers and corporation executives of the New World Order. I believe what I see, so I know this was the business plan all along. It’s history now, so we can stop talking about it happening some day in the future. The government is firmly ensconced in the pockets of bank executives and operates solely on their permission. It’s obvious to those with a three digit IQ. At least the Atlantic can see and admit that what is, is. Witness:

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF’s staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform. And if we are to prevent a true depression, we’re running out of time.  

But the remainder of the article is bland, saying only what bloggers have said for years. I suspect the Atlantic is playing catch up to maintain credibility and chose an insider to give the inside perspective disguised as an expose. That the author worked for the IMF is a black mark against him, and I suspect he doesn’t say much about that part of the story. Read the article here and see for yourself.

In case you didn’t know yet, the financial oligarchy is in firm control.
