Too long in Exile, too long not singing my song.

Too long in Exile, baby you just arent my friend.
Too long in Exile my friend, Baby you can never go home again.
Isn't it time for fundamental change in our debt based monetary system, so we can free
ourselves from the manipulation of the Federal Reserve and the banks?
Is this the United States Congress or the board of directors of Goldman
Sachs? Wall Street is a place of bears and bulls. It is not smart to
force taxpayers to dance with bears or to follow closely behind the
bulls. ~ Dennis Kucinich

Futures off a hundred plus with an hour to the bell.
I'll betcha the market gives it all back today.
This market is irrational and I think the "bailout" is just academic now, one way or the other.
If you're being run out of town, get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade.

watch the first video particularly:
The Market Ticker
The print version:
You have heard that its all "American Gambles"
You have been told repeatedly by George Bush and Henry Paulson that this bill is about a "rescue" of Main Street, not Wall Street.
You have been lied to repeatedly.
The bill The Senate intends to try to ramrod down your throat is neither about Main Street or really even about Wall Street.
You are going to get VERY angry. Sit down before you read further.""Hundreds of billions of dollars are going to bail out FOREIGN INVESTORS. They know it, they demanded it, and the bill has been carefully written to make sure that can happen." - Brad Sherman , D-California"That's right folks. You are going to have $700 billion - about 25% of the total federal budget - put on your personal credit card (via taxes forever) in order to bail out foreign investors.
Oh, and the best part of it is that the underlying assets involved do not even have to be in the United States!
Here is the definition of a "troubled asset", right from the bill:"(9) TROUBLED ASSETS.—The term ‘‘troubled assets’’ means— (A) residential or commercial mortgagesand any securities, obligations, or other instruments that are based on or related to suchmortgages, that in each case was originated or issued on or before March 14, 2008, the purchase of which the Secretary determines promotes financial market stability;
and (B) any other financial instrument that theSecretary, after consultation with the Chairmanof the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, determines the purchase of whichis necessary to promote financial market stability, but only upon transmittal of such determination, in writing, to the appropriate committees of Congress."
Notice that conspicuously missing from the definition is the requirement that the asset's underlying thing (that is, the property that was mortgaged, etc) lies within the United States. Also note that Treasury must tell Congress if they add "new types" of debt, but that Congress has no right of review or censure.
That is, it is perfectly legitimate under the bill for a foreign bank to sell or swap any "crap sandwich" it may hold (irrespective of how or where it originated, so long as a mortgage is the basis for it somewhere) with a bank domiciled in the United States, and said bank may then "PUT" it into the TARP.
Note also that Representative Sherman said on Kudlow last night that when this was raised with Secretary Paulson he was told that if Congress tried to restrict the ability of the Secretary to purchase assets "laundered" in this fashion from foreigners, that the bill would be vetoed.
Here 'ya go folks.
You better make this viral and spread it to everyone you know.
Right here, right now.
You better get on the phone to your Congressfolk at http://www.house.gov and U.S. Senate and make clear that you will not stand for this bill being passed.
IF THIS BILL PASSES YOU WILL WIND UP EATING $700 BILLION OR MORE - REMEMBER, THIS IS A REVOLVING CREDIT LINE, NOT A MAXIMUM AMOUNT - OF FOREIGN BAD DEBT FROM THE CHINESE AND ELSEWHERE.
THAT'S RIGHT - THE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL IS TO SCREW YOU, THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER, BY OFFLOADING ALL OF THE TROUBLED DEBT AROUND THE WORLD ONTO YOUR HEADS!
ARE YOU GOING TO LET CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH THIS?
YOU HAVE LESS THAN 48 HOURS TO STOP IT.
NOW YOU KNOW WHY IT WAS SUCH A "RUSH JOB" - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE BEING CONNED OUTRIGHT BY BOTH PAULSON AND BUSH.
PERIOD.

which one? the first link is an article about US Congress limiting emails from constituents, the second link has phone and fax contact numbers for the US Senate....is it the third link(video) you disagree with?
Trichet Says U.S. Must Rescue `Global Finance'
Bloomberg.com: News
sounds like Mr. Trichet is very anxious that this goes thru...could it be he's got some bad debt he wants to sell to Paulson?
"the print version"
ok then I see, so why is it a pile 'o shite? I've seen inklings(that it's foreign debt) of this from other sources as well.
Paulson says foreign banks can use U.S. rescue plan - Yahoo! News
Exclusive: Foreign banks may get help - Mike Allen - Politico.com
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/bu...pagewanted=all
and as the man said this hasn't been changed and it doesn't specify that the property of the mortgages in question has to be within the United States.
