Apologies might not seem important but they are...

I've pointed to the growing number of public apologies that have surfaced of late and today TheDailySheeple writes that the IRS has now joined the group of those offering a public apology for stealing people's money under the guise of potential tax dodging (AKA "confiscation laws").  Basically, if they decided to target you for whatever reason (be it political, personal or otherwise) they could just selectively invoke Orwellian laws that allowed them to confiscate bank accounts willy nilly.  And so they did many, many times.

In fact, so many times that they now have to apologize for it.

So what has changed???  People who don't read my blog still don't get it but the declining prosperity driven by a CLEARLY shrinking global money supply has got the elites very, very worried for their own safety.  They obviously do not give two shits for the individuals else they never would have done these immoral confiscations in the first place even if they did have corrupt legal cover to do it.

• By the way, most of the shrinkage of the money supply is from default on debt.  One should look for further than Greece regarding this.  The new PM Alexis Tsipras has made it very clear: Greece is BK and cannot repay all of its owed monies.  This, dear reader, is step 1.  You don't just simply tell Germany "we default outright" because the risk of war skyrockets.  You tell them, "we want to repay but first we have to lower the overall amount and then extend the repayment terms" quickly followed by "and oh yeah, can we have a bridge loan to kick our default plans off with a bang"?  After you get these first concessions, you just go back to the well over and over again until you finally wear the creditors down and you pay off 10 cents on the dollar because that is in fact all you can afford to pay.  This was always the obvious eventual outcome that thinking people had to expect given that Germany and France have been running a vendor finance scam.  That's what the whole Euro project was, a way for France and Germany to "sell things" to people who had no money and bad credit.  I wrote about this in detail back in early 2011, it is still a good read for those just waking up.  I also touched on the notion in this post about the global monetary system which was published at the time I launched this blog (it is under the insight tab above).

Something has indeed changed and we are only at the beginning of it.  The debt Ponzi is rolling over starting with the marginal players but it will soon enough come home to roost in the USA.  When you kill the middle class you kill the goose that lays golden eggs.  You kill the productivity of the country just so the corrupt elites can live far, far beyond their actual economic contributions to the herd.  They are beginning to backpedal now and the pace will accelerate.  The police state is next: police will be going on trial, going to jail, apologizing to the people and all matter of long overdue ass kissing because they will wake up and realize that the politicians no longer have their backs when the people begin to actually start voting for what is right.

Mark my words, apologies are good first steps and the oligarchs hope that they will suffice but no, they will not suffice.  All they will do is let the herd smell weakness in the attackers and soon enough the lions are going to feel the horns.  I know they will not suffice because what has transpired has been a historical fleecing of the population and it is going to lead to a lot of sorrow in the US and even more sorrow around the world.  The stupid idiots who laughed at people like Ron Paul and Ross Perot for their "old fashioned" ways will be the most upset in all this because they will have been completely fooled by the scam right up until the point where it collapses in front of their dull little eyes.
