I want to scare the hell out of you by John Galt Sep 4, 2008:
I want to scare the living hell out of you. I want you to fear going to work. I want you to worry about having a job tomorrow, next week, or next month. Inflation? Deflation? Recession? Depression? Ha, that’s the wimp factor in this. They should scare you only if you are sane but I am the fear you should be beholden to.

I want you to understand that myself and my cohorts will create a control mechanism where you will be enslaved to us for life. I want you to know that your next meal might depend on my actions. I want you to feel the pain we feel when our plans go awry. I want you to pay for my mistakes while I get to penalize you for yours. But I do want you to have a large home.

I want you to have two or three cars. I want you to have debts that you can repay and enjoy the finer things in life. But you have to fear me to have these things. I want you to fear the consequences of not participating. I want you to avoid things which I can not control. I want you to vote for who I pay for. I want you to listen to who I select to run your life.

Then I want you to do what ever it takes to let me run yours. I do not want you to prepare for tomorrow, I will do that for you. I do not want you to think. I do not want you to be different. I want your choices limited to A or B. Black or White. Left or Right. Up or Down. I want to put you in a box and watch you run around like a trapped rat. Then I want you to pay for the box.

I want you to ignore the Founding Fathers and pay attention to our Founding Fathers. I want you to worship our money, not real money. I want you to live and die by our whims. Who am I? That’s right. Your friendly neighborhood Federal Reserve banking system. Have a nice day and pay your bills on time. Especially now.

Fear is the message of the ROTW. Thats how they gain control. So, don't be afraid, blend in, after powerdown they will have to play in thunderdome for their supper.

The Fed wants you to stay asleep, not to fear or worry. Panic will be the end of them. We all got into this mess together and we are all royally farked. Neither side is talking about this looming credit crisis because they can't. Panic will send the sheep running for the gates and the FDIC can't cover the bets.

Peak oil is real and a threat, but the credit crunch is here now and the storm is about to make landfall.
