Rick Perry -- Bankers' Newest Victim

[piezoe]

The problem for Perry that he won't be able to overcome is that he reminds too many voters of our most recent imbecile President. While U.S, voters have a short attention span, it is not short enough for Perry to have any chance. He is perfect for Texas however...

The most recent, and very notable, exception to the Texas tradition of electing moron governors, was Ann Richards. Sadly, she is no longer with us, and were she, she would be too old to run for President. Nevertheless, she'd have made one hell of a President.

I always thought Lady Bird would have made a better President than Lyndon. She was the one with the brains in that family.

Quote from oldtime:

How exactly do the banks control the media? Explain to me how it works.

Also, I have noticed people fear what they don't understand and usually end up hating what they fear.

I've already explained one way. JP MOrgan was the founder of GE, GE owns NBC/MSNBC.

Here is an excerpt from a biography on JP MOrgan:

His next task was the electricity industry. In the late 1870s, Morgan had been very impressed by Thomas Edison’s experiments and, against Junius’s warning, invested as much money as he could in the eccentric genius’s work. Fifteen years later, he sought to capitalize on this industry even further. In 1889, Morgan had underwritten the creation of an electrical energy and equipment company that was the merging of Edison’s original company and six others; it was known as Edison General Electric Co. [xiii] Fortunately for Morgan’s corporate aspirations, there were two major competitors for this company, one of whom, Thomson-Houston, was interested in combining with Edison General Electric. Edison was very reluctant about the idea, largely due to the fact that his name would be erased from the firm and his rival would be at the head of the corporation. But because the inventor had no real financial prowess, Morgan essentially ignored him and created the General Electric Trust in April 1892, which would go on to become one of the world’s leading electrical monopolies.

BTW, i do not think that the banks/elite have anything against Perry. I truly think that Perry is one of their guys. They give you Obama, they give you Mitt Romney and they give you Perry, yet all of their policies will be exactly the same, lol. Just like Obama was the exact same as George Bush when it came to actual policies. Both were big government, centralizing power, continuing and starting wars, against civil liberties, pro government secrecy, etc etc.

Bush added a prescription drug plan to medicare
Obama has obamacare

Bush started Iraq/Afghanistan
Obama increased Afghanistan massively and started wars in Libya and attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and perhaps other places.

Bush had the patrioc act, guantanimo, etc.
Obama supports the patriot act, guantanimo, etc.

Bush bailed out the banks
Obama bailed out the banks

Bush had major government spending stimulus
Obama had major government spending stimulus

Bush doubled the national debt
Obama doubled the national debt

it goes on and on. The only guy who is different is ROn Paul. If you want a guy that the media and elite hate, that's your guy. Not Perry.

The banks control the entire fucking country, for pete's sake. Were you asleep all year during 2008? Did you miss the biggest heist in history?

Thank You! I'm amazed at how ignorant people are about who runs the government and how corporations take over a country. 99.9% of the population believes we still live in a free society where your vote actually counts. Oldtime is obviously one of the 99.9%. You get to vote for who the corporations allow you to vote for.

Quote from plyka:

Well, GE, who last year paid $0 income taxes due to loopholes, own NBC, and obviously MSNBC. GE was started and funded and perhaps still is a JP Morgan operation.

This is the biggest problem most people do not realize: big government is NOT good for the middle/lower/upper middle class of people. Big government is good for the rich and the elite. Why? Because big government is merely a consolidation of power into the hands of the elite. Do you truly believe that regulations are used to "protect the little guy," lol. Regulations are used in order to protect the big corporations that are already successful from competition and smaller firms. That's the whole purpose and it started in the very late 19th century when the ICC was started to "protect the little guy from the railroads." What actually happened? The railroads took over the ICC and used the club of government power to fleece the little guy. With government spending, it's obviously the same. Do you believe that government contracts are given based on merit? LOL. Do you believe a small firm will get a government contract if it has the best product, lol. Government contracts are given to the elite who are friends with politicians. These ultra rich and poltical elite are friends with each other, they scratch each others backs, they go to the same parties, they have their kids in the same schools and live in the same areas.

The lesson of history is chrystal clear. If you actually care about fairness, if you care about the little guy, if you care about progress and diversifying power, then pure lassiaz-faire capitalism is the path. There was no episode in human history where more of the average man made the most progress than the late 18th, 19th and very early part of the 20th century. This was a period where government was of absolutely trivial importance. During the time of Jefferson, the Federal government cost about $20 per person (in today's money, lol). The 19th century saw growth rates (estimated or derived from other data since specific growth data was not recorded) in average of 10+ % PER YEAR with ZERO inflation. The dollar of 1913 purchased MORE than the dollar of 1792, not only was there zero inflation, there was minor deflation.

The more the USA moves towwards freedom/capitalism, the more fairer society will be and the more power will be dispursed.

Sorry, i've gone on a rant that has something to do with the bankers, lol

Alas! A guy who actually understands the inner workings of American Corporatist Politics. Kudos to you plyka! You are one of the few.

The US of 1792 is not the US of 2011. We no longer live in a Capitalistic Society, we live in a Corporatist Society. The US is following the path of Rome almost to the tee. If the US continues on this course -- and it most likely will -- God help the little man.

Well worth the 10 minutes it will take you to read it.

yeah, I get all that, I already knew that. What you still haven't answered is how does it go from Perry critcizing the fed to the banks shutting down Perry?

I worked for a newspaper. The owner of the paper was very conservative and hosted fund raisers in his house . The newspaper was notoriously liberal. If the paper would ever dare citicize a liberal or say something good about a republican the liberals accused the paper of being contolled by a conservative.

I asked him, if you are so conservative, how come your paper is so liberal? He said, "The only thing I pay attention to is circulation and add revenue."

And yes, I was asleep all through 2008. No computer, no TV, long the S&P and never even knew it crashed.

Read up on power being dispersed in the not too distant American history, with the robber barons, Carnegie, JP Morgan etc. Don't know what period of history you're talking about.

Getting back to the original post, If Michelle Obama walked out and filed for divorce, I doubt Rick Perry would be getting much media attention. Are you going to tell me the banks instruct the media to now start covering the divorce proceedings?

You can't have it both ways. On one hand big business doesn't care who the president is because there isn't a dimes worth of difference between all of them. And on the other hand they sit around in the boardroom discussing how they want to cover Rick Perry.

I've been through all this before. When I was a kid it was the Jews who controlled Hollywood. That's why you very rarely saw John Wayne go to church (unless it was to bust up a wedding or something.)

LOL Almost pissed myself when i read this.

Are you kidding? You are just noticing this now?
Don't you see what they have been doing to Ron Paul since, well, 1976?
Ron Paul is the banksters worst nightmare.
Rick Perry is just talking bullshit.
If given the choice to print a trillion dollar deficit, you know what he'd do.
