This is a disturbing piece of information.

“Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis”
“First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. “
.
It really is an orchestrated attempt. Now they’ve done it with the banks and loans.

Update: It turns out that Obama is a student of this strategy.
American Thinker:
Barack Obama, the Cloward-Piven candidate, no matter how he describes himself, has been a radical activist for most of his political career. That activism has been in support of organizations and initiatives that at their heart seek to tear the pillars of this nation asunder in order to replace them with their demented socialist vision. Their influence has spread so far and so wide that despite their blatant culpability in the current financial crisis, they are able to manipulate Capital Hill politicians to cut them into $140 billion of the bailout pie!

We may be well-and-truly fucked here.Seriously. Even if McCain were to get elected, these people are organized and powerful and given McCain’s support of illegal immigration, who knows if he likes these ideas too.
.
The Independents, Libertarians, Conservatives, and Federalists have *nothing* as organized or powerful as this. Until the ‘Jacksonians’ wake up, there will be no one to stand up to these people. I’m not comfortable with this situation and I have an uneasy feeling lately.

(Additional thought. I am really sick of how this blog software (WordPress, the theme, whatever), keeps jerking around my formatting.  I’m going to reset shit and see how that works. I just want blank fucking lines between my text and it keeps removing them. grrrrrr)

Another Update:
.
Thomas Sowell points out the same things.
Among the Congressional “leaders” invited to the White House to devise a bailout “solution” are the very people who have for years created the risks that have now come home to roost.
Five years ago, Barney Frank vouched for the “soundness” of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and said “I do not see” any “possibility of serious financial losses to the treasury.”
