<p><em>Editors note: I&#8217;ve taken some recent heat for making the claim that our federal government is a total fraud. For those who disagree, I must ask, Why are the two corrupt political institutions (RNC/DNC) in control of our government(s) so afraid to debate those whom are brave enough to make statements like, &#8220;American government is totally corrupt?&#8221; or, &#8220;Congress and the President are bought off by powerful corporate interests?&#8221; If the elected leaders of our current [corrupt] federal <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">regime</span></strong> have nothing to hide and are completely trustworthy, why do they run and hide, like cowards, from [public] political debate? The American political landscape was headed for major changes in the early 1990&#8242;s. By 1996, Congress chose to <strong><span style="color: #339966;">derail positive regime change</span></strong> via the ballot box by stripping authority away from the non-partisan League of Women Voters and handing it over to former <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">republican and democrat hacks</span></strong> under the umbrella of the Commission On Presidential Debates. Real Reform was thus silenced&#8230;<br />
</em></p>
<p><em></em><em>Is America a nation Of, By, and For the People? In the wake of what happened in 1996 and beyond, I&#8217;d be lying if my answer was Yes. Now, onto the Economic Meltdown created by the [ignorant] 106th. US Congress, many of whom are still in office. If one of those still pretends to serve your State ~ Please, Do America A Favor And Vote Them Out!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Dear President Obama,  Do The Right Thing&#8230; Fire Geithner, Rubin, Summers and any other potential crook(s) working within your administration&#8230; Call for a complete <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Pecora" target="_blank">Pecora Investigation</a>. If once respected people end up in jail, so be it&#8230; Prove to America and the world that you&#8217;re a man of integrity&#8230; Otherwise, don&#8217;t be surprised if the people ask for your resignation&#8230; We Want Change We Can Believe In! So far, as Dirty Harry might say, &#8220;Your Mouthwash [Mr. Obama] Ain&#8217;t Makin&#8217; It.&#8221;</span></p>

Timothy Geithner admits he&#8217;s never been a banker, or a securities banker. <strong>Damon Silvers</strong>, &#8220;What I don&#8217;t get, and I practice law and you&#8217;ve been in banking.&#8221; <strong>Geithner</strong>, &#8220;Actually, I&#8217;ve never been in banking, I&#8217;ve only been in public service.&#8221; <strong>Silvers</strong>, &#8220;Well, a long time ago.&#8221; <strong>Geithner</strong>, &#8220;Never, actually never.&#8221; <strong>Silvers</strong>, &#8220;Investment banking I meant.&#8221; <strong>Geithner</strong>, &#8220;Never investment banking, ah, spent my entire life in public service &lt;chuckle&gt; in the treasury, ah.&#8221; <strong>Silvers</strong>, &#8220;Well, alright, very well then ~ chuckle, chuckle.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Editors Note&#8221; The body language [laughter] from both men would indicate that they know the truth but aren&#8217;t letting the cat out of the bag. Willie, Bono, Young, Ventura, Black, Moyers, Goodman, Mucci, Rather, we need a &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Restore Democracy In America</span></strong>&#8221; benefit concert! Where are you?</p>
<p>President Obama, who&#8217;s running the [con] show? K-Street, Wall Street, The Federal Reserve, CFR, IMF, all of the above? Do any of these entities represent [democracy] We The People? You know, <strong>not just the fat cats but</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> ALL OF THE <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>AMERICAN</em></span> PEOPLE!</strong></span></p>

Black</strong></p>
<p>Who&#8217;s William Black? The former Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention now teaches Economics and Law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.</p>
<p>[Excerpt From Interview below]</p>
<p><strong>BILL MOYERS:</strong> Yeah. Are you saying that Timothy Geithner, the Secretary of the Treasury, and others in the administration, with the banks, are engaged in a cover up to keep us from knowing what went wrong?</p>
<p><strong>WILLIAM K. BLACK:</strong> Absolutely.</p>
<p><strong>BILL MOYERS:</strong> You are.</p>
<p><strong>WILLIAM K. BLACK:</strong> Absolutely, because they are scared to death. All right? They&#8217;re scared to death of a collapse. They&#8217;re afraid that if they admit the truth, that many of the large banks are insolvent. They think Americans are a bunch of cowards, and that we&#8217;ll run screaming to the exits. And we won&#8217;t rely on deposit insurance. And, by the way, you can rely on deposit insurance. And it&#8217;s foolishness. All right? Now, it may be worse than that. You can impute more cynical motives. But I think they are sincerely just panicked about, &#8220;We just can&#8217;t let the big banks fail.&#8221; That&#8217;s wrong.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Thanks to yet another Bill Moyers interview, we&#8217;ve recently become aware of a new blog that you might want to checkout. Yes, it&#8217;s hosted on a well known newspaper site, The Washington Post. While we&#8217;re not yet convinced that this newspaper has decided to come completely clean, we must acknowledge the fact that they&#8217;re attempting to perhaps become more objective. Anyhow, <a title="The Hearing - Simon Johnson" href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/hearing" target="_blank">click here</a> if you&#8217;re wanting more dialog on the economic meltdown issue from yet another ally of a full Pecora Investigation.</p>
<p><strong>Larry Summers</strong> -Is Larry Summers Taking Kickbacks From the Banks He&#8217;s Bailing Out?</p>
<p>By Mark Ames, AlterNet. Posted May 29, 2009. <a title="Is Summers A Crook?" href="http://www.opednews.com/populum/linkframe.php?linkid=91380" target="_blank">VIEW ARTICLE</a></p>
<p><strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong>, is a law professor who heads the Congressional TARP Oversight Panel. Ms. Warren and the members of this panel are very intelligent, capable professionals. I must however ask why we&#8217;re going through this exercise? We have laws on the books that deal with this problem (Prompt Corrective Action Law). We had regulations and laws from the original Pecora Investigations that were repealed in 1999. S-900 should be overturned by the 111th. Congress. <em><strong>The mere idea of a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">public private partnership</span> is very <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">flawed thinking</span></span> and shouldn&#8217;t even be on the table.</strong></em> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Those who engineered the massive fraud that resulted in the economic meltdown are the very last individuals the American People would want to become partners with.</strong></span> Please, with all due respect Ms. Warren and members of the Congressional TARP Oversight Panel. Stop This Insanity. Press for a modern day Pecora Trial, identify who, what, when and where. When we&#8217;ve established whom to prosecute, which may included elected and appointed government officials. Give them their day in court and if found guilty, throw them in jail.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Department Of Justice needs to be set free to examine the facts and perform their duty. For too many years now, the DOJ has been very inefficient in carrying out its duty. This fact can be proven. DOJ has been in itself politicized. Justice must be served across the board, regardless of any individuals personal power or wealth.</em></strong></p>

<p><em>Here&#8217;s yet another William K. Black video produced and provided by <a title="Welcome To Rebel Headquarters" href="http://www.theyoungturks.com" target="_blank">The Young Turks</a> website. The discussion, once again concerns <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>control fraud</strong></span> that the Obama Administration is attempting to sweep under the rug.</em></p>
<p><em>How can this be? It&#8217;s common knowledge that both political parties are benefactors of massive campaign finance dollars flowing into a political process in America that&#8217;s totally corrupt and non-democratic. In fact, the scheme if allowed to continue, will destroy American Democracy from within.</em></p>
<p><strong>I often here via the private comment box above that I&#8217;m totally wrong in my assessments.</strong><em> &#8220;If what you&#8217;re saying is true, I&#8217;d be hearing the same sentiments on the evening news.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Well, okay&#8230; Here&#8217;s a well known journalist with the experience and courage to speak out. Of course, he no longer works for Viacom, GE, Disney or Murdoch.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.freedomfromthepress.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/osignlie.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-462" title="osignlie" src="http://www.freedomfromthepress.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/osignlie.gif" alt="osignlie" width="250" height="400" /></a><em><strong>Wake Up America! </strong>We&#8217;ve been <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">duped</span></strong> (a</em> person who functions as the tool of another person or power<em>) into believing that our government, at every level, is working for the best interests of ALL Americans. It isn&#8217;t and hasn&#8217;t for many decades.<strong> In fact, about the same time that most households in America bought a television, the mid 1960&#8242;s, corporate influence began its process of controlling network news content. Keep in mind, most individual journalists want to report the truth. However, for fear of losing access to key government or corporate figures or, the fear of not getting promoted, or better assignments and pay raises, all of these issues keep the tough questions from being asked. In addition, corporate interests are responsible for running up the cost of political ads and setting the farcical rules for political debates, thus destroying the eventual integrity of Americas federal elections.</strong></em></p>
<p>Still not convinced? Read this similar <a title="Dirty Money Down South" href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/U-S-Corruption-Runs-Rampa-by-Steven-Thompson-090421-440.html" target="_blank">OpEd</a> that contains even more damaging evidence.</p>
