I can’t understand why the media is ignoring the massive fraud that has been perpetrated against Americans by banks and other financial institutions. It has reached a point where virtually no one can trust any business or institution in the country. Nor can the media or government be trusted to tell us the truth.

The real estate bubble was deliberately created by insiders who have profited at the expense of ordinary working people. Congress is a joke and has been for a number of years.

Had they been looking after the interest of the people we wouldn’t be in an illegal war in Iraq costing us over $100 billion a year with a total cost approaching $1 trillion.

The so-called war on terror, as far as I am concerned, was contrived to scare Americans into not paying attention while our pockets were being picked. All the concern now about privacy is really a ruse to keep the facts from coming out about just how unfair and corrupt the system has become over the past decades.

Why is it taking so long to investigate Goldman Sachs and other firms involve in the financial crisis?

I think that those in power believe rather than the truth setting us free it will instead be the complete down fall of capitalism.
