Read Revelation 18:4-19
“Revelation 18:4-19 (Young's Literal Translation)
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

4And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,
5because her sins did follow — unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness.
6Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.
7`As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;
8because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her;
9and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
10from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment.
11`And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more;
12lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,
13and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.
14`And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things — the dainty and the bright — did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them.
15The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing,
16and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls — because in one hour so much riches were made waste!
17`And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,
18and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like to the great city?
19and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness — for in one hour was she made waste.”
Now (for one thing) most all our goods are brought by ships ... this is possible if not for sure. Consider well.
Who’s ‘we’ kimosabe?
Gotta be the idiotic congresspeople who voted against the bailout before they voted for it.
:(
US Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) said Saturday that Congress was not told the truth about the $700 billion blank bailout check. "The American people don't know how much money Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has given away to anyone. IT COULD BE TO HIS FRIENDS. We don't know. There is no way of knowing.''
KEEP IN MIND Henry Paulson (former Goldman Sachs honcho) named his Goldman Sachs underling, Neel Kashkari, to oversee the $700B Wall Street bailout. G/S alumni are bailing out the very pople who contributed to the economy's meltdown.
WATTA SURPRISE---G/S SCREWED TAXPAYERS No wonder the economy is in turmoil. New reports say it appears Treasury Secy Paulson named his G/S buddies---to handout the bailout billions. Conflict of interest anybody?
GOLDMAN SACHS SCREWS US AGAIN Secy Pavelson told Congress bailout billions would be used for one purpose then the foxy, wily Pavelson changes horses in midstream and decides to use the billions for something else. Typical Wall Street chicanery.
The heck with Congress enacting the bailout law for one use. Pavelson personally decides he and the G/S guys will use it for "something else."
The late economist John Kenneth Galbraith blamed Goldman Sachs for policies causing the Great Depression of '29. In his book, The Great Crash, 1929, Galbraith, a key figure in JFK's admin, an entire chapter titled In Goldman, Sachs, We Trust, details the large-scale corporate thimblerigging that Goldman and other Wall Streeters practiced in the 1920s.
G/S alumni at the highest levels of govt are now pulling the levers of power. Watching them operate, we know Goldman types promote their own interests relentlessly...........the rest of us be damned. Heaven help us.
As US citizens line up at soup kitchens and sell apples on street corners, they demand Paulson, Kashkari, and the G/S frat boys come clean about their holdings (at least the ones not hidden in numbered offshore bank accounts, the ones not "parked" at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street entities, or bailout assets not tied up in untraceable untaxable, casino chips).
Finance is the most powerful industry. Some may imagine that finance exists to provide housing and jobs, but it doesn’t. Finance exists to be finance, the most powerful and profitable industry ever.
