HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS:
WE’RE IN FOR ONE
HELL OF A RIDE

INTRODUCTION

In its second vote in five days, the US House of Representatives approved a massive bailout package for the major banks and finance houses. The legislation, passed by a vote of 263 to 171 Friday afternoon, gives US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson virtually unrestricted powers to use at least $700 billion to buy up largely worthless paper assets from Wall Street using taxpayers' money.

The approval of the measure by a wide margin followed the defeat in the House of what was essentially a similar bill on Monday. Then, on Wednesday, the Senate approved a revised bailout package that was supplemented by nearly $150 billion. These revisions brought the total price tag for the package to more than $850 billion, with many predicting that it will end up being only the first installment on a continuing transfer of public wealth to the coffers of the country's major private banks.

Bush signed the measure into law barely an hour after it cleared the House. Earlier, White House spokesman Tony Fratto, a former official in the US Treasury Department, all but acknowledged that the measure is not aimed at ameliorating the increasingly dire conditions facing millions of American working people confronted with the loss of jobs and foreclosures on their homes.

LIES AND DECEIT

In a press conference held immediately after the vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and other members of the House leadership engaged in a round of mutual back-slapping while cynically proclaiming that the aim of the legislation was to protect the American people. Pelosi remarked:

"This bill was passed not for Dow Jones, but on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Jones of Main Street."

That statement, however, is nothing more than a bold-faced lie: In reality, the bailout is aimed at shifting the full burden of the meltdown of the financial system onto the backs of working people, while providing a windfall to the wealthiest interests in the country.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE ELITES
TOWARD ORDINARY AMERICANS

The attitude of Congressional leaders to the broad and deep-felt popular opposition to the bailout was one of utter indifference. MANY SPOKE OF THEIR REPUDIATION OF THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A HALLMARK OF TRUE LEADERSHIP. Where does that leave democracy? - about in the same place that the vote for NAFTA left it back in the Clinton administration.

Much of the opposition in the original 228-to-205 vote to defeat the bailout was attributed to representatives-Democratic and Republican alike-who face tight races for their seats in November and fear being tarred by their opponents as shills for Wall Street who handed over almost $1 trillion in taxpayers' money to the CEOs and speculators who are responsible for the crisis.

It seems, however, that sometime between Monday and Friday the mavens of Wall Street replaced the fear that these congressmen and women had of their own constituents with the kind of naked, raw fear that only the elites - with all their malevolence and depravity -  are capable of instilling in their opponents, that and the extra $150 billion in bribes that they threw into the bailout bill to "sweeten the pot."

Even "Representatives of the People" such as Barbara Lee - who ordinarily could be counted on to stand for "the people" - succumbed to the power of Wall Street. She remarked:

"I am confident that this is not the popular vote." [By that she meant, the bill did not represent "the will of the people."] 

Other "Representatives of the People" such as Jerry Nadler of New York expressed similar thoughts.

Nonetheless, both Lee and Nadler voted for the bill anyway! - such is the power of the moneyed elite insofar as Congress is concerned. Congress, it seems, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wall Street.

STILL, THE HOUSE VOTE SENT
SHIVERS UP THE SPINES OF THE ELITE

Still, the House vote last Monday was enough to send shivers up the spines of the elites. According to Bill van Auken, all this was enough to make the elites question whether it's time to shut down democracy in the United States - as skewed as it now is in favor of the elites - PERMANENTLY. Van Auken wonders out loud:

"What is the lesson drawn by much of the political establishment, as reflected in media commentary? It is this: That the American government is too susceptible to the will of ordinary people to respond as required to the demands of finance capital."

Van Auken cites a number of comments from elite spokesmen to make his point; For example, take what Michael Gerson, an op-ed columnist for the Washington Post, wrote in an op-ed piece entitled "Too Small for a Big Crisis" - meaning that Congress is "too small" (i.e., too small-minded and parochial) to handle a "big," complicated financial crisis.

THE STORMING OF THE BASTILLE

Gerson begins by characterizing last Monday's vote in the House of Representatives repudiating Wall Street's bailout plan with a lurid historical metaphor:

"The Bastille of establishment opinion has been stormed and taken, at least temporarily. But the revolution has irresponsibility in its soul."

The reference here is to the storming of the Bastille by the citizens of Paris in 1789 that ignited the French Revolution and toppled the French aristocracy - something that even now, some 250 years later, stimulates nightmares in the brains of the elites. The people revolting against their "superiors?" - that can't be tolerated!

Gerson is amazed that "the people" would mount such a vote against the overwhelming judgment of their "betters." he continues:

"Seldom has America's governing elite been more united in response to a national challenge."

How dare these plebeians respond to the wishes of Wall Street in this fashion!  He goes on to angrily declare:

"It is now clear that American political elites have lost the ability to quickly respond to a national challenge by imposing their collective will."

ONE IS LEFT BREATHLESS AS TO GERSON'S
CONTEMPT FOR ORDINARY AMERICANS

One is left breathless as to the audacity and "cheek" of this statement. The elites: "impose their collective will on 'the people'?" There's no concern here regarding the "collective wisdom of the common man." The "people," according to Gerson, are nothing more than a herd of dumb sheep to be prodded and pushed in the "right direction." The disdain from Gerson insofar as average Americans fairly drips from his mouth.

NOTE: It is here - precisely here - that one should take note of the overarching regard that members of the elite have of themselves. Professor C. Wright Mills of Columbia University writes:

"It is, of course, the proud claim of the higher circles in America that their members are entirely self-made. That is their self-image and their well-publicized myth. Popular proof of this is based on anecdotes; its scholarly proof is supposed to rest upon statistical rituals whereby it is shown that varying proportions of the men and women at the top are the sons and daughters of men of lower rank. (But, as we have already seen, the proportion of men and women who have risen into the elite from humble backgrounds is very, very small indeed - no more than 10 percent).

"People with advantages are loath to believe that they just happen to be people with advantages. They come readily to define themselves as inherently worthy of what they possess; they come to believe themselves 'naturally' elite; and, in fact, to imagine their possessions and their privileges as natural extensions of their own elite selves. In this sense, the idea of the elite as composed of men and women having a finer moral character is an ideology of the elite as a privileged ruling stratum, and this is true whether the ideology is elite-made or made up for it by others."

Having a finer moral character? - is that what the elites think? Well does the Bible say of these people:

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

"For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers ... unthankful, unholy,

"Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

"Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Gerson continues:

"What once seemed like politics as usual now seems more like the crisis of the Articles of Confederation-a weak government populated by small men. And this must be more frightening to a world dependent on American stability than any bank failure."

My heavens! - Is that what he thinks of those "representatives of the people" who stand up against the elites? - "small men!" AND ALL THIS FORM THE EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE WASHINGTON POST! - one of America's premier newspapers. The elites aren't beating around the bush here! Their scorn for ordinary Americans is right out there in the open for everyone to see.

THOMAS FRIEDMAN AND GEORGE WILL

Thomas Friedman, the senior foreign policy columnist for the New York Times, agrees with Gerson's opinion of the "common man." He writes:

"This is dangerous. We have House members, many of whom I suspect can't balance their own checkbooks, rejecting a complex rescue package because some voters, whom I fear also don't understand, swamped them with phone calls."

And then there's George Will, the Washington Post's pompous columnist. He writes:

"Congress should disconnect [itself] from [the American] public insofar as these complicated matters are concerned."

And it isn't just the "richy-riches" in America who are suggesting that America's elites should decouple government from "the people" in America. One spokeswoman for Britain's toady elite - Camilla Cavendish - wrote in the Times of London:

"The most flattering reading of the turmoil in Congress this week has been that this is democracy in action. Personally, I have never felt more attracted to benign dictatorship."

This sentiment was reflected in the elite press throughout Europe - after all, the European elites are connected - if only as "toads" - to the American elite, hip and thigh.

DETERIORATING LIVING CONDITIONS

Wall Street has invoked the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression in an attempt to terrorize the American people into accepting the greatest transfer of public resources to the financial elite in history. The bailout will do nothing to stave off the social catastrophe that confronts millions of working people in the US and internationally. It will not protect their jobs, their pensions or their homes. Instead, it will facilitate an ever-greater concentration of wealth that can only produce a drastic deterioration of living conditions.

And that deterioration is by now well under way. Take what's happening in California: Adjusted for inflation, median per capita incomes in California have fallen steadily since 2000, and are expected to drop further in 2008. As income levels stagnate and unemployment rises, the number of homeowners who cannot pay their loans also increases.

Rafael Azul of WSR reports that -

"Stagnating wages, increasing unemployment and rising food and fuel prices are driving a wave of foreclosures in California, forcing hundreds of thousands into destitution. The housing crisis has left many working class families homeless or forced to go to food banks to survive day to day.

"Rising unemployment in California is adding to the foreclosure crisis. The July unemployment rate of 7.3 percent, a 12-year record, combined with nearly 2 percent of all residential loans entering into foreclosure across the state (compared to a 1.6 percent nationally), is driving increasing numbers of California working families into homelessness. [The real rate of unemployment, however, is much larger than that when those who have exhausted their unemployment insurance and are counted as "no longer looking for work," and when those who are underemployed are included in the statistics.]

"According to statistics released September 12 by RealtyTrac, an online seller of foreclosed homes, foreclosure filings increased 12 percent nationally in August 2008 compared to July and were up 27 percent compared to August 2007. In California, foreclosure filings were reported on 101,724 homes in August, 40 percent higher than July and 75 percent higher than August 2007.

"Of the 230 cities tracked nationwide by RealtyTrac, eight California cities were among the top 10 metropolitan areas with the highest foreclosure rates in August. In Stockton, 1 in every 50 households received a foreclosure filing during the month. Oakland, California, the state's eighth-largest city, reported one foreclosure filing for every 60 households and is eighth on the list. Sacramento, California's capital, is tenth on the list. One in every 130 homes in the state is in foreclosure, the highest proportion in the United States."

FORECLOSURES ARE OCCURRING
WITH CONVENTIONAL LOANS

To make matters worse, the foreclosure fiasco has now expanded beyond sub-prime borrowers. Azul continues:

"While the initial wave of foreclosures mainly involved people who had been drawn into risky sub-prime and negative amortization loans, the new wave includes those with conventional loans. Statistics recently made public by the Mortgage Bankers Association show that foreclosures on adjustable-rate loans to prime borrowers are now growing much faster than subprime foreclosures.

"On September 10, the system that administers California's unemployment compensation announced that it faces a $1.6 billion deficit by the end of 2009 and would need to borrow from Washington. This would be only the second time since the 1930s that the state has been forced to borrow from the federal government. Due to restricted access to unemployment compensation, only about half of the state's 1.35 million unemployed actually qualify for six months of unemployment benefits (50 percent of their wages while working, with a cap of $450 per week-a paltry sum, given the high cost of living in the state).

"California's homeless population is very different from that of the 1970s and 1980s, when it largely comprised some of the more marginalized sections of the population, including the drug addicted and the mentally ill. Among the newly homeless are former construction workers, real estate loan officers, teachers and others. As in the 1930s, entire layers of the working class are being deprived of the basic right to decent shelter, driven ... INCREASINGLY INTO 'TENT CITIES'."

THE GROWING PROLIFERATION OF "TENT CITIES"

Dana Ford of Reuters reports on one such "tent city" in Ontario, California:

"Between railroad tracks and beneath the roar of departing planes sits "tent city," a terminus for homeless people. It is not, as might be expected, in a blighted city center, but in the once-booming suburbia of Southern California. The noisy, dusty camp sprang up in July with 20 residents and now numbers 200 people, including several children, growing as this region east of Los Angeles has been hit by the U.S. housing crisis. The unraveling of the region known as the Inland Empire reads like a 21st century version of The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck's novel about families driven from their lands by the Great Depression.

"As more families throw in the towel and head to foreclosure here and across the nation, the social costs of collapse are adding up in the form of higher rates of homelessness, crime and even disease. 'They don't hit the streets immediately', said activist Jane Mercer. Most families can find transitional housing in a motel or with friends before turning to the streets. 'They only hit tent city when they really bottom out'."

And what's happening in Ontario is only the tip of the iceberg. Take what's occurring in Reno, Nevada: Evelyn Nieves of the Associated Press reports:

"A few tents cropped up hard by the railroad tracks, pitched by people left with nowhere to go once the emergency winter shelter closed for the summer. Then others appeared -- people who had lost their jobs to the ailing economy, or newcomers who had moved to Reno for work and discovered no one was hiring. Within weeks, more than 150 people were living in tents big and small, barely a foot apart in a patch of dirt slated to be a parking lot for a campus of shelters Reno is building for its homeless population. Like many other cities, Reno has found itself with a "tent city" -- an encampment of people who had nowhere else to go."

FROM SEATTLE TO ATHENS, GEORGIA

Nieves continues:

"From Seattle to Athens, Ga., homeless advocacy groups and city agencies are reporting the most visible rise in homeless encampments in a generation. Nearly 61 percent of local and state homeless coalitions say they've experienced a rise in homelessness since the foreclosure crisis began in 2007, according to a report by the National Coalition for the Homeless. The group says the problem has worsened since the report's release in April, with foreclosures mounting, gas and food prices rising and the job market tightening. 'It's clear that poverty and homelessness have increased', said Michael Stoops, acting executive director of the coalition. 'The economy is in chaos ... and Americans are worried, from the homeless to the middle class, about their future'."

"The phenomenon of encampments has caught advocacy groups somewhat by surprise, largely because of how quickly they have sprung up. What you're seeing is the kind of homeless encampments that haven't been seen since the Great Depression', said Paul Boden, executive director of the Western Regional Advocacy Project, an umbrella group for homeless advocacy organizations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Calif., Portland and Seattle. Even the relatively tony city of Santa Barbara has given over a parking lot to people who sleep in cars and vans. The city of Fresno, Calif., is trying to manage several proliferating tent cities, including an encampment where people have made shelters out of scrap wood.

"In Portland and Seattle, homeless advocacy groups have paired with nonprofits or faith-based groups to manage tent cities as outdoor shelters. Other cities where tent cities have begun to expand exponentially include Chattanooga, Tenn., San Diego and Columbus, Ohio."

A GROWING RAGE BY THOSE STILL ENJOYING
THE "GOOD-LIFE" AGAINST THE HOMELESS

The increase in the number of "tent cities" across the country has enraged those citizens who are still tenaciously holding on to the "GOOD-LIFE" - and they have prodded the police to take action against them. Nieves reports on a number of raids that police have made in response to complaints from infuriated citizens who don't want to be bothered with seeing what's happening to many of their fellow citizens. It's too uncomfortable! Nieves writes on one such raid in Contra Costa County just across the bay from San Francisco:

"At 6:00 a.m. on October 27, more than 70 law enforcement officers from a wide variety of City, County, State and Special District police departments swarmed 24 separate homeless encampments along the Iron Horse Trail through Concord, Pleasant Hill, Pacheco, and unincorporated areas in Contra Costa County."

Nieves continues:

"This unprecedented police sweep was the single most horrendous act against homeless people in Contra Costa County in all of my 25-plus years as a reporter."

Nieves claims that what shocked her the most about the raids was the involvement of the Homeless Services Director for Contra Costa County:

"It is not surprising that so many police agencies joined together to roust the poorest of the poor, who are residents of Central Contra Costa County, and force them out of their longtime camps. What is surprising, shocking and downright unbelievable is that Cynthia Belon, Homeless Services Director for Contra Costa County, endorsed the sweep and actively participated in planning, organizing and implementing it, and then called it a 'HUMANITARIAN approach'."

This is precisely what the Contra Costa Times called it as well: "A humanitarian approach."

Nieves goes on to say:

"Sweeping encampments under the guise of a "humanitarian act" and pretending that services and shelter are available is despicable. The direct involvement of the Contra Costa County Director of Homeless Services in this charade is an outrage."

The pretense towards "humanitarianism" is appalling. These are the kind of people about whom the Bible says -

"...devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make a long prayer ..." (Matt. 23:14)

And there should be no doubt about how deep into the population the crisis of homelessness has penetrated: A survey of homeless people across the nation reveals that 40 percent hold full-time or regularly scheduled part-time job. Another survey reveals that 80 percent of them have a high school education or better; 20 percent have some college; 7 percent are college graduates; and 2 percent have done postgraduate work or have received a postgraduate degree. Clearly, homelessness has burst the boundaries of the drug-addicted and the mentally ill.

THE DEPLOYMENT OF ARMY FORCES AGAINST THE
PERCEIVED THREAT THAT THE HOMELESS POSE

It's in the midst of this growing despair that the government announced on the 25^th of September, 2008, the deployment of the First Brigade COMBAT Team of the Third Division as a "quick-reaction" force aimed ostensibly at "terrorists" within the borders of the United States. The force was placed under the command of US Army North, the Army's component of the Pentagon's Northern Command (NorthCom), which was created in the wake of 9-11 with the stated mission of defending the US "homeland" and aiding federal, state and local authorities.

The unit-known as the "Raiders"-is among the Army's most "blooded." It has spent nearly three out of the last five years deployed in Iraq, leading the assault on Baghdad in 2003 and carrying out house-to-house combat in the suppression of resistance in the city of Ramadi. It was the first brigade combat team to be sent to Iraq three times. THIS MARKS THE FIRST TIME THAT AN ARMY COMBAT UNIT HAS BEEN GIVEN A DEDICATED ASSIGNMENT IN WHICH U.S. SOIL CONSTITUTES ITS "BATTLE ZONE."

An article that appeared last month in the Army Times ("Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1"), a publication that is widely read within the military, paints an ominous picture insofar as the deployment of this unit in the American "homeland" is concerned. The paper reports:

"They will be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control."

THE ARMY IS PREPARING TO USE
LETHAL FORCE AGAINST THE PEOPLE

The original Army Times report stated that the use of non-lethal weapons against Americans would be a possibility. But the use of lethal force would be avoided.

However, Democracy Now's Amy Goodman was told by Air Force Lt. Col. Jamie Goodpaster, a public affairs officer for Northern Command, that "Military forces would have weapons on-site, 'containerized'," she said - that is, stored in containers - including both LETHAL and so-called nonlethal weapons. They would have mostly wheeled vehicles, but would also, she said, HAVE ACCESS TO TANKS.

As Goodman writes in an editorial for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,

"Talk of trouble on U.S. streets is omnipresent now, with the juxtaposition of Wall Street and Main Street ... There may be serious 'civil unrest', and the First Brigade COMBAT Team may be called upon sooner than we imagine to assist with 'crowd control'."

A WARNING FROM A NON-CHRISTIAN

Anis Shivani, a popular left-wing writer and poet - and no Christian (see note below) - comments on what's been happening in the United States:

"The most sweeping set of changes in American history has occurred ... all our cherished freedoms annihilated beyond recognition ... SOME TIME AGO, STREET REVOLUTION MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE STOPPED THE PROCESS UNDERWAY AT HEADLONG SPEED. BUT NOW IT'S TOO LATE EVEN FOR THAT. EVENTS HAVE LOST ALL CONNECTION WITH FACTS."

Most Christians, of course, abhor street protests, naively believing them to be instruments of the "godless" - and all the while disregarding the "inconvenient" truth that America was born out of such "street protests" (after all, that's what the so-called "Boston Tea Party" was all about). Moreover, these same Christians also seem to forget the fact that the "right of assembly" and the "right to petition the government" are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution; and, finally, they seem to ignore the fact that - contrary to what is conveyed in the so-called "mainline media" - most violence at such protests is violence initiated by the police (and I say that as a former member of the army's 515th Counter Intelligence Group).

Shivani observes, almost as if he had read the Prophetic Scriptures concerning the "Beast System" of the "end of days:"

"Dissenters (as well as Christians - editor) have failed to come to terms with the ENORMITY of the TOTALITARIAN revolution underway in the U.S. Radicals, leftists, progressives, liberals have all chosen, for the most part, different forms of denial and escapism [as have Christians, only more so]. But now the time is at hand to decide once and for all how our individual lives MUST change in response to the BEAST that has arisen in this country."

Shivani's comments drip with contempt for his friends in the Left. He believes that they have abrogated their responsibility to stand up against what's happening in the United States; that they have "caved in" to fear; that they are following in the footsteps of the Left in Hitler's Germany when it failed to stand up against Hitler after he assumed power in 1933, and after Hitler used the Reichstag fire in Berlin (which he claimed was started by his socialist enemies) as an excuse to pass the so-called "Enabling Acts" which gave Hitler the right to rule by decree - just as Bush and his cohorts (both Republicans and Democrats) have used 9/11 to pass the Patriot Act and follow-on legislation which effectively enables the president to "rule by decree" and imprison his enemies.

NONE OF US CAN WAIT ANYMORE

Shivani warns:

"None of us can wait anymore, to see what will happen next, nor can any of us remain fence-straddlers ... There should be no more reason to be surprised at events scheduled to happen, if there ever was any justification for being caught unawares.

"The disbelief among all those who love this country is understandable, but it is time to move beyond it. WE CAN ONLY ESCAPE INTO OUR PRIVATE SELVES FOR SO LONG; the government has become so brutal that sooner or later there will be a knock on everyone's door ... Not one out of the 300 million people in this country will be left alone. Nobody will escape this vise, this continent-wide dragnet. IF YOU'VE EVER THOUGHT OR SPOKEN OR WRITTEN OR DONE ANYTHING THAT ... [THE GOVERNING ELITES] MIGHT NOT FIND ACCEPTABLE, BE VERY AFRAID. Make plans now, to protect yourself. All the love and good feelings in the world won't be any good if you're chosen to be the target of the government's wrath.

"The government has been conducting an unprecedented campaign of psychological warfare against Americans. ONE UNDERSTANDABLE RESPONSE TO THIS BARRAGE OF TERROR IS TO BECOME NUMB, HIDE WITHIN OUR SHELLS. But this is a luxury that will not be afforded to us for long. Make plans yourself, pre-empt their plans for you, before it happens to you and it's too late."

Shivani continues, comparing what's happening today to what happened seventy years ago in Nazi Germany:

"... (People) tell us that unlike Nazi Germany, there are (so far) no trains to (death) camps, no (death) camps themselves, no mass arrests, no mass deportations. But, in fact, the lives of tens of millions of people - not whites, for the most part, so far - have been radically disrupted. All noncitizens, legally or illegally in this country, have been terrorized ... (that's about a tenth of the population, or thirty million people, right there) ... In fact, there are mass arrests and mass deportations (mainly of noncitizens), with the potential for rapid escalation (to American citizens). We should all think about getting out of the country as soon as we can."

NOTE: And before you as a Christian reject the advice of a non-Christian, you should remember the words of the Lord: "... the children of this world are ... wiser than the children of light." (Luke 16:8)

COME OUT OF HER

Christians who continue to reside in the United States would be well advised to take Shivani's advice to heart; it parallels what the Bible says in Revelation 18:4:

"COME OUT OF HER [i.e., Babylon, that is to say, the United States], my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4)

One would be well advised to ponder the awful meaning behind this command: No where else in human history has God ever ordered His people out of a certain country; not even in the case of Nazi Germany. But here He does so. YOU SHOULD THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS.

God bless you all!
