While opinions vary, for those who believe there was a takeover of some sort, many suspect this Coup D’état took place on or around September of 08. We all remember that month, right? Paulson proposed to Pelosi on bended knee and begged with teary eyes (or so the public myth tells us) for the blank TARP check to be signed, sealed and blessed. Who could forget the Congressional drama queens “failing” to pass the needed enabling legislation, which (ostensibly) led to a severe and dramatic stock market plunge?

This engineered market crash flashed frightening signs of Armageddon, striking fear into the hearts of men. This was all that was needed to soften the minds of “we the people” and their dually elected Congressional Creatures. With the red fear dial now set on maximum DEFCON 1, just enough minds and votes were altered to push through passage of the “TRAP”. With America now saved and the bankers sleeping tight, this naturally led to.......wait for it......wait for it...... another good old fashioned stock market plunge. You just can’t make this stuff up because it would be unbelievable. That sentiment alone is a testament to the divergence between reality and the public’s mindset and beliefs.

The orchestra was finely tuned and magnificently conducted to serenade us with some high quality C-Span Shakespearian theater. The rest as they tend to say is history. Ah the good old days, when men were men and the control system’s shadow government didn’t need to work so hard to get what they wanted while maintaining the illusion that we control our own destiny. But was this really when the banking cabal’s Coup D’état occurred and was it the bankers alone who asserted authority? Perhaps the dirty deed was a collaborative affair implemented earlier in the decade with parties as yet unidentified?
