When light is shined.

I have noticed that as some of the attempts to corner markets, change policy quietly, and other acts come to light, and perhaps or not the reasoning behind it becomes exposed, the actions either fail or are set aside. A recent example is when billionaires started buying gold by the ton, the prices started to rise. When this came to light, gold dropped to below where it had been and... the story simply drifted onto a back burner. I am still watching that, as prices may again be on the rise if more quietly and slowly. Then again, just because one method is stopped does not always mean the effort is ended. For example, cap and trade was seen as one means of foisting a huge tax on Americans. When that failed, other implements of non-traditional taxation went forward. In this example, "quantitative easing". This is going to end up being a 20% tax (at least, if all goes right in a completely theoretic "solutions") on the American people. Who knows though, the attempt may have been a flood of loss on our currency and income and a rise in all other expenses through Cap and Trade, quantitative easing, and allowing of the sun-setting of the Bush tax cuts. There may be other methods in the works or as yet undiscovered or not yet drafted.

Sometimes the efforts end. Sometimes those pushing them just change lanes and hit the accelerator. It does seem that there is a large effort to strip Americans of our wealth. Everyone from the Fed to almost every Democrat and leftist (sometimes there is a difference, though the difference is more like the difference between Hitler and Mussolini than any real difference). Soros is in it. As are other limousine leftists. Who knows what Bill Gates and Ted Turner (who owns many if not most cattle production ranches in the U.S.) are doing. It is impossible to track them. A serious attempt by many of the ultra-rich along with political activists are, even when exposed, continuing a heavy handed attempt to financially and socially rape America. Whether they believe socialism works, because they think they can get richer off the deal, or just because they have the political tools in play to do it and feel that they can do it and want to do it, I am not sure.

As I have said, these plan are not new. They have existed for thousands of years. It takes a certain level of legal, social, and moral decay for these sorts to be in a position to outright lie, steal, and destroy. They believe, right or wrong, that they are in such a position. And, from what I can tell, they are correct. Even with many Americans finally awake, things like quantitative easing are going forward without regard to awareness. Even our trade situation with China, something they laugh about because of our seeming disinterest in letting them cheat the markets toward their favor, continues unabated. It would be amazing, funny even, if it was not so serious.

I still think the currency devaluation started with a war with China marking their currency to ours. And, I think in the beginning, that was precisely what it was about. At this point, either the thing has gotten out of hand or the hand has changed. Instead of the hand that controls these things working for U.S. interests, it is now working against our interests. At this point, it looks like the effort is to destroy the American economy and enrich China, creating a true second world power (which they are not at this point, 5 million troops who cannot fight out of a wet paper bag and 1 million engineers who could not construct a solid, safe, affordable ladder, is not a super power).

It came down to handing the reins of power over to a group of people who already had significant power to do harm and who wanted to do harm. When are the poor going to realize that the current acting president does not love them, he only wants every one to be like them? Is that truly what the poor in America, and the world, really want? At least, when coupled with the realization that once that is done, no one but politicians and their chosen and families will be able to gain wealth of even a middle class variety? Certain groups, to be sure. They honestly cannot make it without the government forcing their hiring, even their education.

There are two years to go before any real easing can begin. How much more damage is the Fed, Big Business for it's own purposes, and "our" government going to do? It is impossible to be sure, but this last election did little. What is more frustrating is the the Republican party damaged the chances of taking the Senate. We do not have friends in power. Elitists and fools in both branches and both aisles, who see us as a problem. This... will get ugly.
