I couldn’t find anything in that analysis that I disagreed with.

I agree, but it only touches the tip of the ice berg. I was at one of those MacDonalds today and was disgusted how most of the people looked and conducted themselves. A pretty sorry group of people, sad to say.

Fantastic, we finally have a president too far left for Pravda; but the MSM assures us that anyone who opposes him is an ‘extremist’.

Who is following the trail of the bailout monies, anyway? It seems to me that this money is going into personal individual’s pockets and not companies...just like all the monies that have gone to 3rd world countries and their dictators, in the name of foreign aide.

Another quote:

Senator Barney Franks (sic), a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment...

I whole-heartedly agree about the looks of our society,
in general, today.
Around here, many people dress like a bum under a viaduct would dress. However, some of those (bums) are better behaved and posess more self-respect and -awareness.

Yuri Bezmenov specifically identified the phases for the subversion of this country:

Demoralization: 15-20 years. Taking over the educational system, popular culture, the media, and the levers of government, among others. Sow confusion and disinformation,
so that the people can’t think rationally. This process is complete.

Destabilization: 2-5 years. We are passed this point.

Crisis: 6 weeks. Hmmmmm. Sounds about right. Massive overturn of socio-economic systems. Consolidation of power.
We are here.

Normalization: Indefinitely. The people (sheeple) have been
Subverted, Demoralized, and are searching for their
Marxist/Fascist/Savior.

Yuri Bezmenov told us 25 years ago that this would happen.

Nikita Khrushchev also said he would defeat the US without ever firing a shot.

I have been amazed at how every, and I mean every damn industry is bowing down and kissing Obammy’s ring finger. There not one that has said NO. The banks, auto and medical, three huge percentages of GDP, went down with nothing more than a whimper. A sniffling, crying, babbling bunch they are. What in god’s name happened to American backbone and integrity?

I am now trying to prep myself for what I thought would be the very last true vestige of American industrial independence to go crawling on their hands and knees to Obama, the energy industry. Coal, oil, natural gas, etc. When that happens it will be time to pee on the fire, call the dogs and go home to die.

And we would sell them the rope.

For the most part, now, the people are un-educable.

Because of the unfavorable business climate in the US, he moved his “Reardon Metal” factory to SouthEast Asia.

Very true. Geither couldn’t account for much of it.

What is abundantly clear is that Goldman Sachs got paid TWICE for whatever they had insured through AIG. Because they were directly paid TARPS funds and they were paid the proceeds of the CDS insurance. $12.high billion, I forget the exact amount.

I worked for a conservative think tank in the early ‘80’s and met Yuri Bezmenov and got to know him over a period of months. One night after quite a few Vodkas, he literally broke down and wept for America.
