Michael Rivero of What Really Happened, Wrote the Best Explanation I have Seen Anywhere of Why the Banks are Getting away with FRAUD!
Michael Rivero wrote on his site WhatReallyHappened (which is a Great alternative Real News Site) today the best explanation I have seen on why the Banks are getting away with the FRAUD that they are!
He wrote this in regards to a video he has above it about how the members of Congress have seen their own personal income/wealth increase hundreds of percentage points in the last few years. The video is inserted below Michael's remark of it.
Michael Rivero's Explanation of the Bank Fraud and why they are getting away with it:
What happened is simple. Congress members were invested in the Wall Street Firms behind the Mortgage-Backed Securities Fraud; the biggest financial swindle since the Great South Seas Bubble of 1721. Congress passed an $8000 first-time home-buyer credit to lure more suckers into the scam, to front load the fraud with fresh mortgages of questionable worth, and raked in huge profits from the "tulip mania" sales of the MBS.
Then the scam fell apart. Foreign banks and investment companies (and indeed entire nations) were brought to the edge of ruin by the fraud and demanded that Wall Street refund their money. Wall Street does not like to surrender profits, even ill-gotten ones, and neither does the Congress. So Congress voted for the "bailouts", which are actually buy-backs, to use public money (and more funds borrowed from the Federal Reserve) to purchase back the bad paper and cover the credit swaps, dropping the costs of the scam onto the American people. This was done despite 90% of the American people opposing the use of tax money to save the bankers form their own reckless behaviors. (Can you say "Taxation without representation?")
At
the same time, in 2008, the White House set a policy that nobody on
Wall Street was going to be investigated or charged for this fraud,
because inevitably the scandal would envelope all the members of the
Congress who had their personal fortunes tied up in the swindle. Obama
had Tim Geithner go up to New York to intercede with NY Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo to make certain no Wall Street CEOs were
investigated in connection with the mortgage-backed Securities scam.
(That is obstruction of justice).
During the Bush administration, and accelerating under Obama, tax incentives were created for corporations that encouraged the offshoring of high-paying jobs to other countries. Americans, stripped of their ability to pay their mortgages, became easy prey for banks, who needed the entire value of the foreclosed homes on their balance sheets to stay solvent as the cash flowed out the door to buy back all the fraudulent investment bundles.
In other words, the government took your jobs so the banks could take your homes to save themselves from going to prison for the crimes that made themselves and Congress incredibly rich.
Any questions?

Mark Koernke: The Storm Is Upon Us
I encourage everyone to view these, in the order which they run and then encourage others that you know to do the same.
These videos speak of what we see emerging today, the attempted and complete overthrow of Our Constitution, which in turn, will bring Tyranny and Oppression to all who live in this Republic.
This has been in the process for many years….as some of you all ready know.
But only in the last 20 years have the enemies of Our Republic become so emboldened.
Many folks are unable to put the pieces together because of the long time frame which these actions have been taking place.
These videos lay it all out, as one is looking forward, to our present time and place in American history.
As one is traveling along, looking at a map that reveals where one is headed.
The plans of America’s enemies are not new, and they’ve been in effect for some time.
Their objectives have not changed; the only thing that’s changed is the date on the calendar.
Even now these days are running short, for the enemies of this Republic, will be moving faster to achieve their goals.
Now we’re about to witness the attempted disarming of the American people.
The enemies of Our Republic have sold us into indentured servitude through debt.
Now they cannot begin to pay back the interest they owe to the lenders.
The dis-arming of the American people, will allow them to take possession of the collateral.
OUR PROPERTY ! AND OUR RESOURCES !
Along with Our Nations resources, OUR PROPERTY is all that’s left.
They’ve taken Our industries, jobs, and technologies.
In order to take Our property, they must disarm the people.
The question remains, “What will YOU do?”

More Lies From Statists ~ ‘We’ll Keep You Safe’
Just give us your guns and every thing will be just fine.

More Lies From Statists ~ ‘We’ll Keep You Safe’
Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- As the Nation continues to work through the myriad of emotional reactions to the Connecticut tragedy, fear is the one emotion that is shamelessly exploited by those in power and their propagandists in the media in order to seize more power from the Citizens.
Fear that your doctor, your neighbor, the accountant, your co-worker, the hunter, the woman standing in the check out line behind you, might own a modern semi automatic rifle and could “snap” at any moment and use it against others.
They must be stopped, these evil black rifles must be banned.Its far from the first time that Government has used fear, to manipulate the people into supporting giving up their freedoms or supporting policies against their own interests.
We saw the same thing in the aftermath of 9-11, when the Government used fear of another attack at as crass marketing ploy to convince people that the only way to stay “safe” was to give up their rights. Now we have warrantless wire taps, secret lists of people which have not been charged with committing a crime and virtual strip searching and the physical molestation of passengers , including children, attempting to board planes.
Adolf Hitler and his Minister of Propaganda Josef Goebbels used the tactic of exploiting fear to convince the German Citizenry that the mass slaughter of six million people was something to support.
Throughout all of human history those in power have exploited fear in order to increase their iron fisted grasp on control. While it is true that America is unique in many significant ways from any other country on Earth, it still does not change the fact that ANY Government including ours has an insatiable desire for ever more power and control.
Why do so many people find it so difficult to believe that those in Congress would be any different?Our Founding Fathers were all to well aware of the corrosive influence of power on a persons character and set out as best they could to limit those damaging effects by establishing our system of government the way they did, intentionally wording the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights in such a way as to make it clear it was the Citizens that rightfully retained power and control and only loaned the same to those elected to Office. And by definition, when you loan something to another, you have every moral and legal authority to take it back at any time.
This isn’t the first time the Anti Gun Ideologues have used a tragedy to further their agenda. They shamelessly exploited the 1989 Stockton California Schoolyard Shooting by Patrick Purdy to push through the first Federal “Assault Weapons Ban” , a law that Dept of.Justice statistics and every credible study now prove had no measurable effect on violent crime or homicide rates.
Congress and the media are now using fear of another Connecticut or Aurora to convince people that their RIGHT to bear arms simply must be significantly curtailed. But the fact is according to the FBI , mass shootings of the type in Connecticut and Colorado are statistically exceedingly rare events and the criminal use of firearms of all types is less than one tenth of one percent of the total number of firearms in the Country.
We also know from the most recent Dept of justice Uniform Crime Reports that violent crime and homicide at are near 40 year low levels, something even more remarkable when one considers that violent crime and murder typically increases during bad economic times, which we have been mired in for the last five years, while firearms ownership rates have increased and the total number of firearms in circulation has almost doubled since 1994.
Those on the Anti Gun side even brazenly ADMIT to intentionally exploiting fear to further their ideology. Call it either an exceedingly rare moment of candor or alternatively the usual arrogance and contempt for the intelligence of people, in an interview in 1989 , Josh Sugarmann, Executive Director of the virulently Anti Gun Group, The Violence Policy Center publicly admitted to using fear to manipulate people into supporting a ban on so called “assault weapons “.
“Assault weapons — The weapon’s menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons— anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons.” ~ Josh Sugarmann, Assault Weapons and Accessories in America, 1988Maybe I’m off the mark, but I don’t know to many people that appreciate being told they are being manipulated and willingly go along with that manipulation. Yet it seems maybe I have overestimated the wisdom and intelligence of the public to recognize such manipulation and stop it in its tracks if recent events and comments on gun control are any indication.
After any violent crime, be it a string of rapes, or a series of molestations by a trusted person to incidents like a mass shooting, people always say “you never think that could happen here” , as if their personal piece of the World is somehow magically exempt from evil, criminal acts, all available evidence to the contrary.
The uncomfortable truth so many refuse to acknowledge and seek to avoid at all costs is that violent, evil, criminal acts have, can, do and will.continue to occur at any place, at any time be they by an individual or by the State. And that is just one of a myriad of perfectly rationale and logical reasons why people “need” , to purchase, own, possess, train with and if necessary, use modern semi automatic rifles, those scary looking guns that people are told no one “needs” .
Lord Acton is famous for noting that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” , it would be difficult to find a more glaring example of this warning in practice than what we see going on right now in Congress and the media when it comes to talk of renewed gun control.
