America Still On The Auction Block To Wall Street

The Corporate/Financial Coup of America Continues... 


Dear America,

If you're not angry...you're not paying attention. Trump is not disappointing the .01% who placed him in office.

Of course, it didn't start with Trump - Obama served, as did the Bushes, Clinton, Reagan and even mild-mannered Jimmy Carter. It's just that the looting is in full swing now with the "get away with anything President". They don't have to sugar-coat their plans any more...so it's full speed ahead.

Here is an excerpt from "Wall Street On Parade" from Wall St. insider Pam Martens...

"Trump will continue the Orwellian reverse-speak of his campaign promises and do the opposite of what he promised. According to leaks to the financial media, Trump will today sign executive actions ordering swift reviews aimed at rolling back the feeble safeguards on Wall Street that currently exist while replacing them with — nothing. There has been no further word from Trump on bringing back the core principles of Glass-Steagall which would force the formal separation of banks holding taxpayer-backstopped insured deposits from the high-risk, derivatives-peddling, hedge-fund-financing investment banks..."



At least, that's the way it seems to me,

Open Letter to Occupy Wall Street/ Labor/ Pam Martens/Noam Chomsky/Michael Hudson/Ralph Nader/Amy Goodman


Thank you for your tireless efforts to end corruption on Wall Street and to bring about a more just financial market...and by extension a more just society. 

I noticed how much energy and vitality the Occupy Movement gained when the labor movement threw their hat in the ring to join the protesters in Zuccotti Park on May Day 2012 and I was thinking maybe we should keep that relationship connected in a continuing effort. 

I have proposed a Global Labor Treaty for Living Wages in a petition to President Obama, which also serves as  a basis for a global social justice movement.  And I thought you might want to be made aware of this growing movement, that perhaps you might want to share this idea among the influencers within your circle of friends and colleagues. 

It is my belief that a Global Labor Treaty for Living Wages will spark a global conversation and a subsequent shift in the trajectory of our social thinking. 

Labor is the largest demographic on the planet transcending the social and ideological differences such as race, gender, religious and political party affiliations that usually keep us divided. 

Since imposed poverty is at the core of virtually every social injustice, forwarding a plan for economic equality will address a myriad of inherent injustices. Thus, giving citizens the strength and political will to stand against their oppressors. 

The extractors at the top of the pyramid (the .01%) can only oppress as long as no one addresses the source of their power...Profit Comes From Somewhere: the Under-Paid worker, the Over-Charged consumer, the Occupied Lands of of an occupied people.  

If we start at the root of injustice, then every other ill will be addressed. I believe Occupy, Labor and simple common sense can together make that happen.

Thank you for your continued efforts. 
I would also like to thank Professor Noam Chomsky for taking the time to comment on my poem "Vigil" when I shared it with him. "Vigil" A Poem of American Crisis
And I would like to thank my friend Steve...for always believing in me.
