Sammie User ID: 1256469 United States 06/12/2011 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great find OP. And thanks for the PDF links as well. I did see that they were removed from the first site. For well over a year now I have made it a point to download every file, webpage (archival save), video, audio, text, picture...... everything. Stuff disappears fasts. You can count on it being there in a few hours, let alone a few weeks or months. Censorship is being practiced heavily and it is becoming more and more prevalent with each passing day. I saved the .pdf's for later Which reminds me, I need to back up my hard drive again. "Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow". ~Aesop "Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that. We only have ourselves to go on, and it’s enough…" -Charles Bukowski "Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first." -Goenka |

Yes. These are Financial Strategies Memos to high-level clients of CitiGroup. They speak openly of ways to WIDEN the Income Gap between Them and us (down here-- who don't matter at all). They discuss readily how to make money off of Global and Regional crises... These plans and CitiGroup's BIG Money Funds went into effect around 2005-6, and it's easy to see, now, that they are working like crazy to keep their fantasy world alive for their profit. THIS is just one tiny pathway to the Elite's motivations. For every one of these CitGroup "Plutonomy funds," there are dozens more like it across the Globe. Names like Carlyle Group and the Bilderburg Group are the Old Money in that league. Some quick quotes from the Intro of Part 1: "1) [T]he world is dividing into two blocs - the Plutonomies, where economic growth is powered by and largely consumed by the wealthy few, and the rest. Plutonomies have occurred before in sixteenth century Spain, in seventeenth century Holland, the Gilded Age and the Roaring Twenties in the U.S. What are the common drivers of Plutonomy? Disruptive technology-driven productivity gains, creative financial innovation, capitalist-friendly cooperative governments, an international dimension of immigrants and overseas conquests invigorating wealth creation, the rule of law, and patenting inventions. Often these wealth waves involve great complexity, exploited best by the rich and educated of the time. 2) We project that the Plutonomies (the U.S., UK, and Canada) will likely see even more income inequality, disproportionately feeding off a further rise in the profit share in their economies, capitalist-friendly governments, more technology-driven productivity, and globalization. 3) Most “Global Imbalances” (high current account deficits and low savings rates, high consumer debt levels in the Anglo-Saxon world, etc) that continue to (unprofitably) preoccupy the world’s intelligentsia look a lot less threatening when examined through the prism of plutonomy. The risk premium on equities that might derive from the dyspeptic “global imbalance” school is unwarranted - the earth is not going to be shaken off its axis, and sucked into the cosmos by these “imbalances”. The earth is being held up by the muscular arms of its entrepreneur-plutocrats, like it, or not." Both reports go on an on about how keeping us, down here, DOWN and OUT, is great for their profit. There's even money to be made from Global Unrest... WIN!!! Remember-- When they say, "The American Labor Pool needs to be more competitive in the Global Market," what they really mean is they want to be able to pay and treat an American Worker the same as a Worker in Vietnam or Haiti. And no, they don't want to give Haitian or Vietnamese Workers raises, paid sick leave or a 40-hour work week. It's their blithe, clinical, and cynical view of the other 95% of Humanity that galls me to no end. But the issue is not this somewhat new concept of "Plutonomy," but the older, time-honored problem of the Plutocracy at hand. With a burgeoning, if struggling, "Plutonomy" for them, of them, and by them, one might think that the Fascists have won, but one would be wrong. They're bound to lose. The very "Golden Times" they cite-- 17th Century Holland, to the "Roaring 1920's" in America each ended up to be based on critical flaws, and were followed by enormous collapses. But, this is a crowd that has no fear of that collapse. They believe they are placed well-enough to weather it all in the lee of OUR huddled backs. And THAT is the critical flaw of this Plutocratic Evolution.

Greenspan was at her funeral in the 80's. Brought a giant flower arrangement snapped like a dollar bill symbol and propped it up next to her casket. No lie. All philosophies work for a time then become unbalanced and fracture. That's where we are now. The fracture breaking point. We must rediscover neutrality and balance once again....if it's even possible. |

"when injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty"—Adam Kokesh “Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall!”—John Dickenson, The Liberty Song "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."—Ayn Rand |
