As the Great Recession continues around the world, George Alogoskoufis, Finance Minister of Greece, unveils a 28,000,000,000 Euro package to support his nation’s commercial banks, which includes another 8,000,000,000 Euros in bonded indebtedness.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President George W. Bush speaking to the national media defends his 700,000,000,000 “dollar” bailout of the nation’s financial industry, “[T]hese investments will be returned to the taxpayers.  And it’s likely, not only–by the way, that we’ll not only get most of the money back, but in some cases, actually make a little money.”

       Question: When has the Federal government ever “returned” an “investment” (money taken under duress) from a U.s. subject/enemy/citizen and then returned it to that person to be freely disposed with?

       Benjamin S. “Helicopter Ben” Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (a Federal agency) that oversees the privately owned Federal Reserve System of (central) Banks, speaking at the Economic Club of New York City, says, “Americans can be confident that every resource is being brought to bear to address the current crisis … I strongly believe that we now have the tools we need to respond with the necessary force to these challenges.”

       Postscript: In the nine months since Bernanke made this boast the unemployment rate — according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — among United states subject/enemy/citizens rose from 6.1% to 9.5%.  This official unemployment (employee: French for “government worker”) rate does not include those whose unemployment benefits have run out but have still not found work, those that are underemployed, or those who are too discouraged to look for work.  The true unemployment rate is probably double the official count.

       NOTE: This is the further realization of plank number five of the “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx.

       Two 71st Precinct New York City statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law) beat and sodomize Michael Mineo for smoking marijuana.  The SEOs tell Mineo that they will upgrade the charges to felony status if he tells anyone of their abuse of him.

       Postscript: Mineo was hospitalized for four days, in Brookdale Hospital, because of the beating and rape.  The SEOs were assigned to desk duty to protect them from the media.
