Let’s get Dylan Ratigan’s numbers up. He’s a business guy and kinda conservative, but he is dead on about all this corruption. And I think this whole Goldman Sachs/Geithner thing has him questioning the system. Fancy that, eh Hedda!

The next shoe is CRE and ready to drop, but wait; this is a self regenerative toxic lizzard with many shoes to come and drop, unless it gets capped.

Perhaps through state empoyees and their unions given that they are the ones collecting IOU’s in lieu of dollars?

I am not an organizer, but if the 9th largest world economy (are we still that?) were to take that rout, it would mean something! So, perhaps we might even garner financial support from out of State.

The umbilical dependence to Wall Street Gods needs to be severed, that much is certain.

I consider FDL to be home, and I check ritholz, calculatedrisk, & baseline daily. This is what I was referring to in #22.

Well given that my efforts with Lori Saldana, speaker Pro tempore went nowhere, that my letter to Lockyer received no reply, that Dan Walters of the SACBee tried to tell me that CA does have it’s own banks(missing the whole point of Ellen Browns dissertations), I suspect that the initiative process would be the best mechanism. BUT where to get the monies necessary for such an initiative?

Zero Hedge has the total numbers on the debt issued by the banksters. The number of zero’s goes beyond anything imaginable.

I’ve been pushing this in CA but the ‘lawmakers’ don’t seem interested or ,and I’m truly beginning to believe this- they just don’t understand the concepts.

AND BTW, mucho gracias Masaccio; it IS hard to sort all the shenanigans out; please keep up the efforts.
