When the con is in the collapse stage, rats emerge from the gutters.

For years now I have predicted many signs of the topping and ending phases of the global debt Ponzi.  Many of those predictions are in the pages of this blog.  Some have come true, some are unfolding right now.  One of the main tenets of my long view is that government is a form of organized crime.  It is not special, it is just the nature of some people to make their livings parasitically from the labor of others.  It has always been thus, it will always be thus.  In a way it makes us stronger just like getting a cold now and then builds our immune system.  Computer viruses do the same for computers.  I'm not saying it is right or that it is good, just that it is to be expected and that we can emerge from it stronger.  If we survive it, that is.

Since I believe that government is a form of organized crime then I look to how criminal organizations always collapse and then apply that to the government situation.  In short, at the start of a crime organization there is little competition and the patsies are plentiful.  The criminals shake a few people down but most people are not scared.  The police are bought off or scared off (they are people too, they have families too) and so the criminal organization grows.  Territories expand, smaller bosses get ambitious and want their own turf.  But eventually the parasite:producer ratio becomes too high.  The number of weak and willing patsies cannot keep up with the growth of the parasite.  Society has only a limited carrying capacity for active parasites.

As time passes, the parasites begin to get hungry for more, more, more.  They begin to do radical things in order to get it (like demolishing 3 buildings on the same day even though only 2 were hit by aircraft).  They get more and more desperate but the population has either gotten wise to them or gotten fleeced by them (or both).  Those who are aware and who will fight back are not easy targets - it begins to cost more to take what they have than is gained by the taking.  And those who have nothing are not useful targets.  So the criminals begin infighting and turning on themselves in order to save their own operations at the expense of the operations of the other criminals.  Later on it devolves into an "every man for himself" situation.

The smartest con men of the bunch cop to the scam before the collapse actually happens.  They can sense that the con has lost its energy source (i.e. patsies) and they admit their complicity and beg forgiveness.  Their apologies almost go unheard because so many of the other criminals are still duking it out trying in vain to keep the con rolling along.  But make no mistake, the really smart ones make soft apologies that do not implicate themselves criminally.  They simply say that mistakes were made and that they are sorry.  They fail to return any of the ill gotten gains or to do anything substantial to really show contrition.

What these early apologists are doing is effectively turning state's evidence with an immunity clause.  They will never be pursued or prosecuted even though they fully admit the damage they have done.  This is because their words serve to wake so many sleepy sheeple that there is value in the words alone.  Those still running the con have to deal with the additional scrutiny of people who, just months before, laughed at "conspiracy theorists" who called this game right from the start.  Loss of pride is a big deal in a herding species like ours.  Once bitten twice shy as the saying goes.

With all of this background, much of which I rehashed for the benefit of new readers (my blog, while still very small, is now getting more attention and has hit 3500 reads per month), please read about an early stage apologist by the name of Andrew Huszar, a former federal reserve official who fessed up in a recent edition of the Wall Street Journal.  The first line of the article says it all: "I can only say: I'm sorry America".

He then goes on to explain that he thought he was doing the right thing but now in a sudden epiphany of clarity he realizes that he was really a traitorous bastard who sold America down the river to the money elite.  Of course he doesn't use those words.  No refined gentleman of the federal reserve high society ilk would use such coarse language, especially during a soft sell confession about their own treasonous behavior.  But read the article for yourself and tell me that it had a different meaning if you can.

In truth Huszar is only on the edge of the conspiracy.  To his credit, he tried to quit the con once and had to be lured back in for a second round of ripping off America.  But to believe that he didn't know what was going on very quickly after having previously left the fed ostensibly because of lack of independence from Wall St. (i.e. being a paid operative of Wall St), he did come back and he did buy 1.25 trillion of worthless bonds off the banksters so that the tax payer would take the eventual loss instead of Wall St.  He did that.  He knew what he was doing.  He is a criminal and the degree of the crime will someday be found to be so damaging to the very fabric of American society that his crimes can only be viewed as High Treason.  He should be prosecuted for these crimes and be held to account. 

The public execution of a few banksters would send a chilling message to the remaining cartel members who are still working 24/7 to bring America to its knees.  Nothing short of jail time will do.  In some cases I believe that the death penalty is actually warranted.  The number of people who have died and whose lives have been ruined by the pump and dump tactics of the money elite cannot be easily tallied.  The damage is domestic and international.  When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they "lose" it. 

This is predictable and this is what the banksters have done to many, many thousands of people.  In fact, the real damage is likely still before us.  When all of the financial markets finally crash, and they will crash, that is when people will feel the real despair that the banking elite, headed by the policies and practices of the federal reserve, have brought us to.  Many millions now live hand to mouth because their labor has been devalued by the scam of fiat currency and fractional reserve banking which enriches the already rich at the expense of the working poor.

The confessions have only just started folks.  The early confessions from people like Huszar will be used to attack those still in the con.  All criminal organizations eventually collapse from within but only after all the patsies have already been fleeced.  That is what we have to look forward to because we the people allowed the con men to replace our golden money with gold backed currency and then eventually un-backed fiat currency and it's unholy brother fractional reserve banking.  It's really our own fault.  We were willing patsies.  We heard that there was something for nothing to be had and we lapped it up with a spoon.  The banksters only took advantage of our greed which is exactly the stock in trade of any con man. No con works without a lazy, ignorant, greedy patsy who thinks they will be getting something for nothing in the deal.
