"This deal get's worse all the time" --Lando Calrissian mumbles when he realizes Darth Vader isn't going to abide by their agreement. When he pushes the matter Vader replies:
"I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it further".
We all remember the scene sequence.
Darth Vader: You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker.
Boba Fett: He's no good to me dead.
Darth Vader: He will not be permanently damaged.
Lando Calrissian: Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?
Darth Vader: They must never again leave this city.
Lando Calrissian:
That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter!
Darth Vader: Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?
Lando Calrissian: No.
Darth Vader: Good. It would be unfortunate if I have to leave a garrison here.
Lando Calrissian: This deal is getting worse all the time.
Let's see, Kucinich's house is paint-balled...hmmmmm. What does this have to do with his recent move to investigate Treasury and associated banks for failure to hold up their end of the bargain in this ever so recently agreed upon bailout?
Coincidence theorists exit here.
Lets' face it. The bailout was a rip-off and a power grab by Bush. Bush and bankers went to Congress and told them Martial Law would be declared if they didn't sign it. Martial Law would be a hammerblow to Congressional power. Isn't there something in the law about nullifying a signature if it was made under duress? Of course Congress could reverse its decisions if the contract is breached. The inadvertant effects of the economic downturn before the elections was the sudden shift in support for Obama. Similar to the "Foley effect" in 2006 elections. The thugs couldn't get up to speed to rig the elections.
Now Kucinich is spearheading an effort to bring these thugs before Congress and the threats start.
Plain and simple: The banks want the bailout without the oversight, not just because regulation will crimp the all powerful "invisible hand of the market", :eyes: but because it will lead to following the money to all of the offshore accounts--could be trillions out there--which would lead to the anniliation of these dirty, fucking, slimey, sleazy, thieving, murdering, fascist pigs once and for all.
Maybe the US government could contract out to one of these tax havens to house the bastards in a GTMO type prison (they already approve of such things so they can't complain) and use such non-torture techniques as water boarding to find out where ALL the loot is. Sweet justice.
