UNPRECEDENTED RAPE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERWAY IN DC

Rape is an ugly word usually attributed to an attack on a woman. It also means an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

There is no other word to describe what has been happening in Washington, DC., for the past two and a half months. The so-called bail out of lending institutions and banks has turned into a free for all that is mind boggling, already running in the TRILLIONS with no end in sight. As the layers have been unfolding over the past few weeks, only someone in complete denial can say with a straight face that this unconstitutional looting of the people's labor has been anything but mass rape.

The Fed is thumbing their nose at Congress: Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- "The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September they would comply with congressional demands for transparency in a $700 billion bailout of the banking system. Two months later, as the Fed lends far more than that in separate rescue programs that didn't require approval by Congress, Americans have no idea where their money is going or what securities the banks are pledging in return."

Congress foolishly gave the privately owned "FED" and Treasury total power with the bail out deal and now they're getting their noses rubbed in it. Lending institutions who received all this borrowed, worthless paper called a 'bail out' or 'rescue plan' are spending the sweat off your back like there's no tomorrow on big bonuses and lavish events, while Congress sits around scratching their backsides. Congress has let the genie out of the bottle and they're now running around like the nitwits they are trying to shore up this disaster of their own making. More
