The Infamous List
If you want to see just how corrupt the US system really is, go to the blog http://governmentgonewild.org/thelist and check out the US Congress critters in both parties who have increased their wealth during the years 2004-2008. This list also shows their net worth in 2009. Looking at the names you will probably see your own so called representative. I say so called because over the last few years its been clear the people in Washington have not I repeat have not represented our wishes and interests, or the interests of ordinary working folks. If you doubt what I’m saying just check the voting record of your Congressman and Senator and the voting records of their peers. For example most Americans opposed the invasion of Iraq, the Wall Street bail outs, the TARP program and even the so called health care reform legislation that was passed and is scheduled to go into effect in 2014. None of that benefited us and even the health care legislation is not what it was cracked up to be. Yet they voted for them anyway.
Check out http://governmentgonewild.org/thelist and look for your Congress person’s name on the list. What you will see is a disturbing trend, so called public servants who are supposed to be doing the will and work of the people are getting fabulously rich as their bank accounts and net worth increase exponentially far beyond what you and I are making by not doing the will of the people. Now I do not begrudge anyone earning a living or accumulating great wealth if he or she does it honestly and honorably. But what we are seeing today in this country and around the world and this list bares this out, is the people entrusted with running the country, supposedly doing what is right and making the decisions that impact the lives of not only people in America but around the world are feathering their own nests rather than doing what is best for us. These vampires are getting rich at the expense of we the people !
We hear so much about corrupt despots, and ruthless dictators in Latin America, Africa and Asia who have squirreled away millions in European or Carribean bank accounts but see for yourself what is going on under our noses right here in the US by our own elected officials. That’s why I call the US a banana republic. Last year I wrote a piece entitled Blood Sucking Congress Critters, in it I said, “This is no conspiracy theory or wild speculative accusation. It is fact. The Opensecrets Website and Project Censored have documented the fact US Congressmen and Senators are heavily invested in the companies that make the body scanners being used in all the major airports in the country. If you doubt what I’m saying on this topic go to http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/11/several-federal-lawmakers-invested.html and read the facts for yourself. They name names and where possible tell how much each one has invested in the companies based upon the lawmakers own financial statements.
That’s not all, Project Censored which monitors the corporate media and routinely exposes the major stories they suppress is on the case. One story tells how the Congress critters invested in stock of the defense contractors making billions on the bogus War on Global Terrorism that is wrecking havoc around the world. In their book Censored 2010 The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2008-09, censored story number 14 was Congress invested in Defense contracts. ‘The nonpartisan Center for Responsible Politics has calculated that more than 151 members of Congress have up to$195 million invested in major defense contractors that are earning profits from the US military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan... ’ So our elected representatives are making huge profits off of the laws they pass. This is a clear conflict of interest if not outright unethical. It shows just how morally bankrupt this country has become and how deeply the rot is spreading throughout this society. Remember, these two stories are just about the military industrial complex and Homeland Security industries. When you factor in big Pharma, oil and energy, agribusiness, insurance (Healthcare for example) and Wall Street (bailouts, protection from fraud prosecution by the SEC and Justice Department etc) we can understand why when our Congress critters vote, they vote the interests of their benefactors and for money making opportunities for themselves not the interests of we the people. This means Congress is getting rich off the deaths and maiming of US soldiers and the innocent people all around the world our drones, missiles and bombs are killing .”
This is one list the congress critters definitely don’t want us to see, but all the information I’ve quoted is available to the public; check it out for yourself. Once you do you will understand why things are going the way they are. However the good news is we don’t have to go out like this as a people. If we want a different world and we aught to, all we have to do is visualize a different reality by thinking beyond existing parameters, believe in it, work towards it and it will manifest because I genuinely believe there are more of us around the world who want peace, harmony and justice than those working for and getting rich off of conflict, war and oppression.

Common Threads
“While the media has gone to arms length to obfuscate the matter, there is mounting evidence that Dominique Strauss Kahn was framed. According to media reports, the 32-year-old Guinean Sofitel housemaid received the modest sum of 100,000 dollars paid into her bank account. The New York Times acknowledges the payment but fails to analyze the source of these payments. In an utterly confused statement, the NYT suggests that the money was deposited in the housemaid's account by her Guinean boy friend who is serving time in a high security prison” Mounting Evidence that Dominique Strauss Kahn was Framed by Michel Chossudovsky www.globalresearch.ca
Question, what do Dominique Strauss Kahn, Col. Muammor Gaddafi, Elliott Spitzer, Rod Blagojevich and Saddam Hussein all have in common? Answer, they ran afoul of the international banksters, money changers and their friends in high places. Each one of these men was attacked and demonized literally and figuratively by the corporate media, tried in the court of public opinion and adjudged guilty by the corporate media in a vicious attempt to ruin them and set them up as examples of what happens when you go against the agenda and hegemony of the psychopathic banking cartel attempting to run the world.
Each one of these men in his own way was targeted by the banksters and their cohorts because he posed a serious threat or obstacle to the plans and program of the blood sucking cabal who have mastered usury, corruption and fraud to the point they can take down the global economic system and reduce us all to debt peons, wage serfs and tax slaves. Each one was butted and hounded because he either stood in the way or actively opposed the evil plans of the banksters on the local, national or international levels.
Saddam Hussein’s mythical WMDs were the false pretext the US used to take him out. Saddam was no threat to the US militarily. The real reason he was offed was because of the US sanctions against Iraqi, Saddam Hussein decided to sell Iraqi oil in Euros rather than US dollars. This was a huge no-no. Although when he first started few paid much attention. However as the Euro eventually surpassed the dollar in value other OPEC nations started contemplating selling their oil in Euros too. This would have posed a colossal threat to the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. So from that perspective Saddam Hussein had to go. They added a bonus to the military-industrial complex by making it a major invasion/occupation to gain a toehold in the region rather than just assassinating Saddam Hussein like they do on so many other occasions. The first things the US did once they deposed Saddam Hussein and took control of the country was to resume selling oil in US dollars.
How does Elliott Spitzer fit into this? When he was the New York State Attorney General he gave the Wall Street shysters a lot of grief by hounding them, exposing their Ponzi schemes and fraudulent dealings and taking them to court. Most times the Wall Street firms settled out of court but the fines and media exposure hit them hard where it hurt the most, their pockets. As New York’s governor Spitzer pushed his AG to go after them aggressively and to get the other states’ AGs to do likewise. So to get back at him the big Wall Street investment firms exposed Spitzer’s high priced hooker hook up and used the mind control apparatus to make us think it was a major crime of moral turpitude that somehow disqualified him to serve as governor. They won, Spitzer stepped down as governor. They didn’t kill him, he didn’t go to jail and now he makes bigger bucks as a TV commentator for CNN
Rod Blagojevich was the governor of Illinois. Republic Window and Doors a small Chicago window and door manufacturing company closed their plant and the workers asked the governor’s office for help. Bank of America had shut off Republic’s credit and without a line of credit they would go bankrupt leaving their two hundred employees without jobs.. The situation even made the national news. Governor Blagojevich intervened on behalf of his constituents but BOA wouldn’t budge. So Blagojevich ordered all Illinois state agencies to stop doing business with Bank of America ! That was his real sin, not the stuff they charged him with. Soon afterwards the FBI knocked on Blagojevich’s door in the middle of the night, raided his house and took him out in hand cuffs under the glare of the TV lights for all the world to see. When the first trial ended in a deadlocked, the banksters ordered their boys in the Justice (sic) Department to try him again. That sent a clear message not to dare mess with the real organized crime syndicates (the banksters) who run his country.
Muammor Gaddafi’s crime was not that he attacked the so called Libyan “rebels” he had a legal right to do so, they were in open rebellion against his government. His real crime for years was that he was lending money to African nations from the huge profits from Libya’s lucrative oil and natural gas industries at reasonable rates. Naturally the IMF, World Bank and Bank of International Settlements loan sharks took umbrage at this. The shysters resented Gaddafi’s generous terms to his fellow Africans. Gaddafi was also heavily investing in African infrastructure paying for modern roads, state of the art utilities and telecommunications systems all across the continent. The West didn’t like that either, he was making black Africa competitive and undermining the Neo-Colonial powers of Europe and the US. Gaddafi was also partnering with China, allowing China to access Libya’s oil and gas, which pissed the US off. Worse he hinted he was going to raise the price of Libyan oil and gas in direct opposition to OPEC policies or even nationalize them altogether. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was that Gaddafi was spearheading an effort to create a new currency based on Africa’s gold which would have broken forever the US, France and the EU stranglehold on Africa. For that Gaddafi had to go!! Not only is the West trying to kill Gaddafi (they’ve already murdered his son and grand child) they froze (stole) the billions of dollars Libya had in foreign banks and they’ve run the Chinese technicians and workers out of Libya!!!
The last dot to connect is Dominique Strauss Kahn the former head of the IMF. How does he fit into this and how could a fellow vampire be the target of the good ol’ boy network of banksters you ask? Simple, they considered him a renegade. Strauss was rumored to be the leading candidate to run against the president of France Nicholas Sarkozy; and under Khan’s watch the IMF wasn’t as ruthless as normal so he had to go. Why? First because Sarkozy is the lapdog for the international bankster gangsters and warmongers and the global elites want to keep Sarkozy in there. Sarkozy in France and Angela Merkel of Germany were put into office with help from the multi-national corporations, the US CIA and other entities to stop France and Germany from thwarting the gangsters plans for the “Middle East” and to be more engaged in the US NATO global war program.
The rape story was designed to besmirch Khan’s character and get him ousted as head of the IMF. When was the last time an international big wig was treated like a regular street criminal, handcuffed, taken to a real jail and his mug shot flashed all over the world ? Come on. When have the safety or rights of a black woman ever been protected against a rich and powerful white dude? Now that he’s stepped down from the IMF position, and the IMF has a new head; the case against him is unraveling as we speak. It was all a set up and the banksters win again.
Don’t believe the hype and don’t fall for the okey-doke. Look beyond the smoke and mirrors. Always ask yourself who benefits, then follow the money. In each of these cases the bankers benefit and the money trail leads to the oil companies, the international bankers and the military industrial complex. The only place it doesn’t lead to is we the people.
