>The Great Gold Deception and Misdirection  - Stewart Dougherty - 
Dear Mr. Smith: I loved your message, and it gives me and the 24hgold community much to think about. I remember reading that Steve Jobs once had a very nice house in Atherton, CA or thereabouts, but it had no furniture. He meditated and slept on the floor. He had no interest in material things ... he was only interested in creating. (I believe this changed a bit when he got married; his wife probably wasn't quite as Spartan!) I thought this was so very interesting about him ... he was a true entrepreneur, innovator and creator. For him, it wasn't, first and foremost, about money; it was about creating. He was an artist. For Wall Street, it's very much about money, or all about money, and in the process of getting it at any cost, destroying. I do happen to think that greed is an addictive disease. Not everyone is afflicted by it, but some (maybe many) are. Some people get hooked on drugs, but many do not; some people smoke cigarettes, but many do not; some people are addicted to food, but many are not; some people can't stop shopping, but many can. To me, those who suffer from the affliction of greed are likely gravitate to Wall Street ... which is logical; that is where their addiction can be satisfied. How can a person satisfy their greed if, say, they are the manager of a paper mill, or a regional VP at Wal Mart? So Wall Street attracts the greed diseased, just as the local pusher attracts the person addicted to drugs who needs their supply. It is all pathetic and sad, but it is also human condition doing what it does, sometimes with unfortunate results. I think that the reason why greed has been able to destroy our society is that we have vastly underestimated its power. Thanks again for writing, Mr. Smith. It was great to hear from you, and I plan to think more carefully about your thoughts, my comments notwithstanding. With best regards, Stewart

Beginning of the headline :“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” Benito Mussolini It would be fortunate for the western world, particularly the United States, if it were “merely” becoming a neo-fascist dictatorship. But since all life forces evolve, particularly those that are evil, the west is actually experiencing something far more pernicious: namely, abanksterist dictatorship, which is en route to something even worse...
