Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur

C-span via SOTT: Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur Puts a Beatdown on Bush Bailout (video)

Wall Street and the Administration want to play the bailout game, and this is how they propose to do it:
1.) Rush the decision
2.) Disarm the public through fear
3.) Control the playing field (hide info from the public, hold private hearings, and private teleconferencing calls)
4.) Divert attention and keep people confused
5.) The goal is to privatize gains and socialize losses
You have perpetrated the greatest financial crimes ever on this American Republic. You think you can get by with it because you are extraordinarily wealthy, and the largest contributors to both presidential and congressional campaigns in both major parties.

She is fillibustering. Putting in amendments, like no foreclosures that she knows to be unacceptable to those who put forward the bill, to hold it up. Hopefully the debates will hold up the bill to the extent that it cannot get passed before Congress closes down for the election run up in a few days. This approach is Congress's best hope. This is what Webster G. Tarpley suggested.

Absolutely fantastic - well done Marcy. Who in power here will say the same things to Brown next week? Vince Cabel may be a good get - will be emailing him this now.

malct - ain't it just! She needs to be careful or she'll suddenly develop a 'heart attack' and that'll be the last we see of her.
