Prof. Peter Dale Scott op Global Research:
Paulson’s Financial Bailout
It is becoming clear that the bailout measures of late 2008 may have consequences at least as grave for an open society as the response to 9/11 in 2001. Many members of Congress felt coerced into voting against their inclinations, and the normal procedures for orderly consideration of a bill were dispensed with.
The excuse for bypassing normal legislative procedures was the existence of an emergency. But one of the most reprehensible features of the legislation, that it allowed Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to permit bailed-out institutions to use public money for exorbitant salaries and bonuses, was inserted by Paulson after the immediate crisis had passed.

Global Central Banks Acting In Concert-
Disinformation In Financial Dailies To Confuse The People
When The Truth Dawns On Hapless People, There Will Be Blood On The Streets.
This Is The Warning By IMF!
INTRODUCTION
The disinformation by the global financial dailies in the last twelve months as to the cause of the global financial tsunami, serve the same purpose as the global mass media when they perpetuated the lies that lulled the people to support the war criminals Bush, Blair and Howard to launch the barbaric war against Iraq and Afghanistan which resulted in the genocide of millions, the mutilation of hundreds of thousands, physically and psychologically, and the devastation of an entire nation.
The wars unleashed thus far, specifically the “War on Terror” were launched to preserve the shadow money-lenders’ political and military power.

The reports cite French media news sources as having uncovered the proposal, in which RAND suggested that the $700 billion dollars that has been earmarked to bailout Wall Street and failing banks instead be used to finance a new war which would in turn re-invigorate the flagging stock markets.
The RAND Corporation is a notoriously powerful NGO with deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex as well as interlocking connections with the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations.
Sarkozy wil de financiële architectuur van de gemondialiseerde wereld hertekenen, ‘want als we verderwerken zoals we bezig waren, krijgen we straks opnieuw dezelfde rampen over ons heen.’ Bush wil graag gastheer spelen voor zo’n bijeenkomst –op de valreep, nog net voordat hij de achterdeur van het Witte Huis achter zich dichttrekt– maar hij wil vooral het gehavende gebouw renoveren: ‘We moeten de fundamenten van het democratisch kapitalisme behouden: vrije markten, vrije ondernemingen en vrijhandel.’
Democratisch kapitalisme? Dat klinkt even mooi en onbetrouwbaar als het compassionate conservatism waarmee Bush in 2000 net genoeg stemmen kreeg om door het Hooggerechtshof aangeduid te worden als de winnaar van de verkiezingen. De belofte op een warm en medelevend beleid heeft geleid tot het meest oorlogszuchtige regime dat de Verenigde Staten de voorbije halve eeuw kenden. En de idee dat kapitalisme democratisch is, geldt net zolang de belastingbetalers de rekening van het gore feestje van de speculanten willen betalen. Er is niet veel democratisch aan het financiële kapitalisme, en dat. zou zelfs George W. moeten weten.
For although the market cult has suffered a cataclysmic defeat in the last few weeks, it is by no means dead. It has 30 years of entrenchment in power to fall back on. And the leader of every major political party in the West has spent their entire political career within the cult's confines. It has been the atmosphere they breathed, it has been the sole ladder by which they have climbed to prominence. They will be loath to abandon it, once the immediate crisis is past; most will not be able to.
So remember well the lessons of this new October crash: The money to make a better life, to serve the common good, has always been there. But it has been kept from you by deceit, by dogma, by greed, and by the ambition of those who have sold their souls, and betrayed their brothers and sisters, their fellow human creatures, for the sake of privilege and power.
