Reply #36: I think that those of us who understand what the PTB have in store for us

Realize that this is a totally appropriate expression to use.

Did the Jewish people get taken out of their homes and gassed within a few weeks of the tightening screws? No, what happened first is that they were not allowed to work. And they were not allowed to meet in public. (Did you notice the new weaponry used last week in Pittsburgh? What happened to our right to assemble?)

Let's examine that - First the Jewish people were not allowed to work. Well, right now, that happens to be the reality for 17% of us, who have no jobs to get up to go to each morning.

And no, we don't wear any yellow stars, but we live with the very same reality that the Jewish families faced similar to ours - we don't get to eat! And if we are sick, we don't get treated.

Since this is happening to the least desirable of us first - the younger people who are disabled or sick, the older people whose job skills are lacking, et cetera, we fall into a ghetto defined not by our religion or ethnicity but by our monetary situation, physical condition, and age.

Let me repeat my last statement - we fall into a ghetto defined by our monetary situation, physical condition and our age.

And the other thing is, the non-civil methods of the rabid RW Teabaggers, since acceptance of their nasty methods has been condoned all the way up to the higher levels, this ugliness is spreading. Today it is obvious we will not get any sort of meaningful health insurance. Tomorrow (Word used figuratively) there may well be no Social Security checks -the Teabaggers hate that. Already in the Baucus Finance Committee, the Republican members have said they not only want to "reform" the health insurance plan, they want to "reform" Medicare"

And to me it sounds like they mean to phase it out, or further tighten the screws.

It has been my contention for decades that the next Holocaust would not fall upon the Jewish people, but upon the impoverished. And I see nothing in the works of current day America to change that perception.

Right now the FDIC is tightening the screws on the smaller banks across the country - the only ones that even might consider loaning money to the smaller customer. To the Average American.

Those banks will have to come up with three to four years of payments IN ADVANCE to the FDIC. So that will destroy their ability to lend out any monies. What that means is the small business person today who is semi-flourishing - he or she may well be out of business tomorrow. Because their bank will not be able to loan he money.

The screws are tightening. believe me. For simply being homeless, you can be put in jail. And the jails are privatized, so none of that nonsense about prisoners having rights will be followed by Blackwater and the others. With the ten millionth foreclosure occurring just a few weeks ago, the homeless situation is another check we can make on the check list.

None of this paints a pretty picture, and eventually people will understand. Just as the people of Germany eventually understood.
