People everywhere learned a blunt lesson about power, who has it
and who doesn't. . . . Just about everything
is riding on how we navigate this unprecedented, and frightening,
moment in history. And and our new president appears to
be on the verge of squandering the enormous goodwill that swept him
into office. . . . Unless and until Barack
Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal
of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our
economy will be paralyzed.
Below
are a few links to a few other stories dealing with this issue.
Obama
Told Us to Speak Out, but Is He Listening? William Greider,
Washington Post
Has
a 'Katrina Moment' Arrived? Frank Rich, New York Times
The
Big Takeover Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
It
might not bode well that Geithner, Obama's Treasury secretary, is one
of the architects of the Paulson bailouts; as chief of the New York
Fed, he helped orchestrate the Goldman-friendly AIG bailout and the
secretive Maiden Lane facilities used to funnel funds to the dying company.
Neither did it look good when Geithner himself a protégé
of notorious Goldman alum John Thain, the Merrill Lynch chief who paid
out billions in bonuses after the state spent billions bailing out his
firm picked a former Goldman lobbyist named Mark Patterson to
be his top aide.
In
fact, most of Geithner's early moves reek strongly of Paulsonism. He
has continually talked about partnering with private investors to create
a so-called "bad bank" that would systemically relieve private
lenders of bad assets the kind of massive, opaque, quasi-private
bureaucratic nightmare that Paulson specialized in. Geithner even refloated
a Paulson proposal to use TALF, one of the Fed's new facilities, to
essentially lend cheap money to hedge funds to invest in troubled banks
while practically guaranteeing them enormous profits.
God
knows exactly what this does for the taxpayer, but hedge-fund managers
sure love the idea.
We're
in This Together Chuck Collins, On the Commons
These are uncertain times.
The economic crisis has reminded us of our vulnerabilities. Debt. Foreclosure.
Evaporating Savings. Rising Costs. Job Insecurity. We can face these
changes alone or come together.
"This is just a complicated way of
having the government pay,
having you and me pay,
for buying these assets at more than
any private investor is willing to pay for them."
Paul Krugman
ENOUGH!

Speculations
on the Evolution of Global Consciousness
by Lorenzo Hagerty
Matrix Masters' Overview
The mission of
Matrix Masters can best be summed up in the lines Franklin Rosemont
wrote in his introduction to the writings of Slim Brundage, where he
described Chicago's famous College of Complexes:
The aim of the
College of Complexes, as an educational/recreational forum, was neither
to recruit members nor to mobilize troops for the achievement of specific
goals, but rather to inform, agitate, educate, emancipate, provoke,
inspire, offend, scandalize, tickle, and excite.
Well, our aim
here at Matrix Masters is to provoke an unmuffled, ungagged, and unsilenced
generation of world citizens into speaking up and taking the actions
necessary to wrest control from the privileged few and to reclaim this
planet in the name of all the humans, animals, plants, and other forms
of life who share its bounty.
And as for our
name, Matrix Masters, we intend this as a reminder that
ultimately YOU are the Master of Your Own Matrix . . . unless, of course,
you have surrendered that right to someone else :-).
Definition: Matrix a mould,
environment, or substance in which a thing is developed, a womb.
