This debacle stands as the greatest argument against Globalism ever. These international monopolistic companies wield so much power and so much influence, that if they falter, whole countries, nay, whole continents shudder, fail, and go under.

If that is indeed the case, one must take every precaution that such a monster is put down and broken up- and that none of it's kind tread the earth ever again.

But rather than heed this cautionary warning, we prop them up with our grand-children's wealth.

How obtuse.

Here is the better case of monstrosity that has nothing to do with globalism or internationalism. In fact it's entirely national. GSEs (Government Sponsored Enterprises, aka "public-private" institutions), like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which recently held more than 50% (over $5T) of all the mortgages in the United States, including overwhelming majority of subprime and Alt-A loans.

That's the ones that were run and defrauded by Obama's transition team advisers Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick et al. That's the ones that were defended by Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd as "stable" and "not in danger". And when Bush in 2001 and 2003, and later McCain (let's give him credit for this one) tried to reform and more stringently regulate GSEs, they and Schumer stood in the way of these bills.

Nothing inernational or global about that, except maybe for many foreign investors in GSEs securities and debt.

That's a great synopsis of the situation! Now consider the most common philosophy and icon of business students (especially financiers), if you haven't already done so. Anarchists of their kind do support the various political parties and manipulate big governments in order to get what they want. Throughout history, they have repeatedly made way for harder socialism in their locales. And now...the world.

During the last couple of decades, I've looked for solutions from various points in history. Some of the nonviolent actions of some the Czechs and Poles from the latter part of the Cold War were particularly interesting.

The only way that I know is to spread the word to stop engaging in conventional politics. Be nonpolitical. Better yet, be anti-political. Stop buying anything that we don't need. Help to teach our neighbors to do the same and survive.

This is the best time to do it. Poor clothing, poor cars, and the like, will become more often seen and safe anyway (safe against robberies and the like). ...even stylish and all of that.

I know of one political Party with an honest and full platform, and it's only a call to spread the word for now.

And that's all that it should be, until the opposition is weakened, and our movement, strengthened by way of dissemination, IMO (mostly word of mouth and small groups, at first). The other third parties that I've looked into over the years turned out to be concealing globalist and fascist tendencies in their efforts to recruit newcomers. But the usual suspects (usual constituents) behind those other third parties are now losing money and time.

Let's patiently build an overwhelming wave of honorable and legal rejection against the beast, while it's wounded. We have much more in common with our neighbors--especially the younger folks around us--than most of us realize. For example, many young greenies are now beginning to join conservative social circles to discuss building, growing, repairing and making things. We have the obvious situation, its causes, and the tough years ahead in common.

Whether for or against, you might want to have a look at the following exchange. More information is good for all people of various positions on the issues.
