Paul Craig Roberts: How Deregulation Has Resurrected American Economic Insecurity

[Peter Lemkin]

I said:

The people could now become 'the enemy'.

Peter,

I only meant after the so-called Muslim Terrorists and other pseudo-enemies, to date.

Thanks for your comments, as always.

Adele, I wasn't drawing any criticism, just drawing attention to how close to the 'abyss' I think we now are and what 'lines' have been crossed. We agree.

I do agree with you.

Adele

To me, the frightening thing is most [not all] Americans not in the top 10% FEEL the PAIN and EFFECTS, but are still 'buying' the propaganda - which deflects attention from the real villains in this 'piece' to various scapegoats along with false assumptions, anayses and facts - when the real culprits are easily seen if one only opens one's eyes and knows a little HISTORY! The plan to pick the pockets of the Average American and average person worldwide for the benefit of a few is all too clear. While this has always been so, it has gone up and down through time and place as to its severity. It is not reaching maximum severity in all but a few places on Earth. In the past when such happened there were first riots and public discontent - met by local repression; followed by wars. We need no more wars and all current wars are phony, in that they are invented - complete with invented enemies [at times provoked or even trained by the 'other side']. We need PEACE and to solve the MAJOR problems facing all of humankind and other living things. Those who promote war and Grand Theft via their bankster schemes belong in Prison, not in positions of power. Deregulation is just one more of many ways of undoing the controls put on in the past to temper [not stop] the abuses of the rich and powerful. We need more regulation - not less! More prosecutions - not none! More sunshine - not increased secrecy! More Peace - no wars! More morality and law - not the current epidemic of less!
