Michael Payne writes “It’s time for Americans to face this grim reality; that government of the people, by the people, for the people is no more, it has perished.”
For the rest of us the story is much the same. Private banks dump their enormous debts onto the public and the Government-Banking Cartel talks about “honoring obligations”. – Just Not Theirs.
Governments and Corporations are united in their Legal plunder of ‘their’ enslaved masses.
Private banks go bust and government ministers parrot the mantra that “we (meaning the public) will honor our (meaning their) obligations”.
They do not speak in my name.
Clarity of thought is obviously not in the interest of the actual perpetrators, who are busy shifting their crimes onto the public
Orwell pointed out that “the words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another.”
Maybe the words corporatism, oligarchy, kleptocracy, dictatorship and fascism are better suited to describe the “free and democratic” form of governance we now live under.

” Our world seems to have been invaded by individuals whose approach to life and love is so drastically different from what has been the established norm for a very long time that we are ill- prepared to deal with their tactics of what Robert Canup calls “plausible lie.” As he demonstrates, this philosophy of the “plausible lie” has overtaken the legal and administrative domains of our world, turning them into machines in which human beings with real emotions are destroyed. ”
” “Likeable,” “Charming,” “Intelligent,” “Alert,” “Impressive,” “Confidence-inspiring,” and “A great success with the ladies”: These are the sorts of descriptions repeatedly used by Cleckley in his famous case-studies of psychopaths. They are also, of course, “irresponsible,” “self-destructive,” and the like. These descriptions highlight the great frustrations and puzzles that surround the study of psychopathy. ”
” Narcissists are possessed of inordinate abilities to charm, to convince, to seduce, and to persuade. Many of them are gifted orators and intellectually endowed. Many of them work in politics, the media, fashion, show business, the arts, medicine, or business, and serve as religious leaders. ”
” By virtue of their standing in the community, their charisma, or their ability to find the willing scapegoats, they do get exempted many times. Having recurrently “got away with it” – they develop a theory of personal immunity, founded upon some kind of societal and even cosmic “order” in which certain people are above punishment. ”

We are told that this letter (Lost article) did not find its way onto the editorial pages of the once largest newspaper in this country.
Preventing Google translate to start many and deadly wars as did the Babel fish, I have patched-up some of the more insulting passages to the text here. (Lost article)
This will have to suffice until I find a proper translation.
In my not so humble opinion (IMNSHO) I think this letter gives a better glimpse of the situation in my land than many a book written to perception manage the subject.
I myself (with all my respect for television intact) do not believe that the use of the Anti Terrorist Act (Oct. 9) was anything other than U K’s response to the Icelandic governments own Emergency Banking Act (no. 125 7. October 2008). Two governments protecting it’s people (i.e their respective plutocracies) – only unfettered history will tell.
How the men behind Iceland crisis are still calling the shots By Archie Bland
Joly delivers her verdict on everything from financial sector bonuses (immoral) to climate change (a grave danger) and the situation in Gaza (tragic).

“This is what you see all over the world,” she says, egged on by the documentary makers’ account of how ordinary Icelanders are paying for the crimes of the plutocracy. “The rules are not for the elite. The elite are always living above the law.”
. . .
Perhaps her most valuable contribution is the leverage she has over the investigation’s political masters. Her presence reduces the risk of the probe being suppressed

“We must be very vigilant. Many people in the market have one idea: to get back to business as usual. We must not forget that this system is very ill.”

“I am here to help. The people of Iceland have invested me with a great hope, great expectations,” she says. “But it is their country. Only Icelanders can lead this inquiry.”
While the effects are fairly obvious, the causes we are told, are just to wide-ranging and complex to be understood (The Algebra of Infinite Justice), thus (conveniently) preventing any ‘fair and balanced’ investigation of the causes.
The discredited power elite has learned nothing and is preparing to continue in the same manner, using the same policies, with the same inevitable end, and why should they care? – They never pay for their own mistakes.
“The history of our race, and each individual’s experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.” – Mark Twain
To conspire:
a : to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement
b : to act in harmony toward a common end.
It is in it self interesting that such condemnation has been associated with one concept, i,e. to act in harmony (although in secret) toward a common end.
Looking at the revelations related to the financial meltdown, the words bank secrecy (or bank privacy) even secrecy jurisdictions, take on some very familiar connotations.

Some historical quotes
Where are the world’s secrecy jurisdictions? – Richard Murphy FCA
“The Mapping the Faultlines project is based on the contention that the mechanisms that allow illicit financial flows to occur result from the synergistic relationship between the world’s secrecy jurisdictions and the secrecy providers (bankers, lawyers and accountants) whose work is based there.”

In our infinite wisdom we are now to open a repair shop for Tamerlane (precision) killing machines.
Is there no limit to the lengths to which we are willing to go in prostituting our self’s for the next crack shot of little green peaces of paper?
After the economic collapse and a year of corruption revelations, not a single kleptocrat has been arrested.
Do we simply have to take Herbert Marcuse’s quote as given, that, “Law and order are everywhere the law and order which protect the established hierarchy.” ?
