The Rule of Law or the Rule of Whim?

I was one of those fat, redheaded stepchildren who was annoying and cried a lot. No one really liked me and thankfully, it got much better. I mention this wondering if that experience made me more aware of clandestine manipulation and abuse than the average citizen. I wonder this because it is so obvious to me that the care and nurturing of the masses is not a priority for our government, the IMF, the UN, the World Bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank.

This song was penned in the early 80's. That doesn't make it irrelevant - that demonstrates how long we've been under the thumb of the criminal banker class

The biggest clue is when justices rule in favor of special interests. We've seen this with Clarence Thomas and Scalia, satan rest his black little soul - pardon the barb.

"Yeah, NO. Let ME tell YOU how it is ..."

So here we have Judge Valerie Caproni of the US District Court, ruling that an established CRIME is now OK under certain circumstances by certain elite world banks. And what were these banks doing that no one else can do? Oh, just price fixing the precious metals market.

Kitco News’ obtained the court document which contained the opinions of presiding Judge Valerie Caproni of the US District Court. Judge Caproni said in her opinion that the plaintiffs "plausibly allege that each of the Fixing Banks acted recklessly in creating artificial price dynamics in the gold markets around the PM Fixing."
However, the Judge dismissed all claims against global firm UBS, leaving The Bank of Nova Scotia, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Societe Generale still facing manipulation allegations.

If that makes no impression on you, then I strongly encourage you to learn more about finances and our economy from a few opposing sources. Listen to opposing views, don't get stuck on a thought ledge that you mistake for the one true land of the free.

No, no, no. Stop that! Cut the horse play and pay attention.
Remember critical thinking?

I've been here before. Like when this older student tried to convince fat, young, desperate-for-friends, underclassman, me to let him keep all of his drugs in my locker - I didn't even do drugs - yet. He was buttering me up, backed up by this beautiful, popular, senior girl, who was enthusiastically agreeing with him and urging me to comply. Almost right away I realized that this wasn't something good for me. Why else would they spend time and energy being all nice and cheerful - inclusive even, to me? It came as no surprise that once I'd firmly said no, they were finished talking and being nice to me. In a split-second I went back to being an annoying presence, nothing more. Dammit if this whole looming financial crises doesn't feel very similar to me.

"Now THIS is how you play kickball guys! Really, all the cool kids
do it! You LIKE it, cuz I LOVE IT!

Have you heard of "Negative Interest Rates?" It's a clever way of NOT saying "fee," "charge," or "amount due." The big bankers are pretty damn brash about painting pigs with fetching lipstick, and it is entirely possible that our nation's debt will become unserviceable. If it does, the bankers are likely to blame someone else for the crisis while negative interest rates become a reality, and all of us pay for the damage caused by their criminal practices that enabled them to become, or stay, richer than god.

What did Greece say when this arrangement was forced upon the citizenry - again?

See for yourself!

Currently, the national debt stands at 19.4 Trillion, and the DOD recently reporting LOSING 9.3 TRILLION. of which nothing will be done and we will be liable for the bill. Now if that isn't bullying, I don't know - screw that! I know bullying and that's fricken' bullying.

Thank goodness for Cryptocurrencies! Now how do we keep a network open? Mesh networking? Balloon and satellite networks? ICANN is with the UN now, so Americans will not be able to protest any rule changes enabling censorship. Crypto is good for We the People, so we can be assured that our government and the special interests it serves are avidly working against it, and will disrupt crypto however possible, as often as possible.
