Americans, whether they know or not, are in for the fight of their lives. It’s been one week since the biggest story of the last three years was published by Bloomberg News, and maybe the only thing more fascinating than the story itself is the level of indifference it’s gotten from our so-called mainstream media. Remember the $700 billion in TARP funds used to bail out the banks? Chump change. Or more to the point, collateral for the $7.77 trillion made available by the Federal Reserve to bail out financial institutions all over the world.
You won’t see too much about any of this in the news. But you can bet your life this is the essence of what the 2012 election is all about. Either we’re going to have a Constitutional republic run by the people we elect to run it, or we’ll continue to be subjected to the whims of an international cartel which privatizes profits and socialize losses, even as they threaten the autonomy of every democracy in the world in the process.
Those are the stakes. And it behooves Americans to demand that every candidate for president, including the current One Worlder occupying the White House, to say where they stand on the issue.
