The Men from Atlantis Communiqués

Clearly the Romans, one of Poseidon’s favorite societies had the right idea.  In times of crisis use decimation.  Line all the bankers up, have them count off by tens (if they can really count that high), line them up and have the nine kill the tenth.  The choice of method of execution can remain with the nine.  They can stone them; they can shoot them; the can impale them; they could smother the tenth with piles of dollar bills.  After all, $700,000,000,000 is a big pile of dollars.  Remember that the pentagon had to ship money to Iraq on pallets.  And those were twenties and hundred dollar bills.  This will send the right message.

This financial crisis is NOT that hard to understand.  Although Ben Bernake, and Hank Paulson would love for you to believe that only someone of their intelligence can understand and/or fix this disaster, it is not true.  Understanding this crisis is simple.  Bankers have squandered their fortunes, and now, with a stick up their collectivce ass(ets), they are unwilling to lend what little cash they have left to the rest of us (who did not cause this disaster).

Our economy is built on credit, and without credit the manufacturing sector, the transportation sector, the energy sector will be unable to borrow.  When they can’t borrow, they can’t continue to do business.  They cut payroll and jobs are lost.  But its not the manufacturing, transportation or energy sectors that caused this mess, it was BANKERS, fancy pinstripe-wearing prancing pansies that they are.

Teach them the ultimate lesson.  Let them know what will happen in the future should they screw up so royally again.  I gaurantee, with the loss of one in ten, the remaining ninety percent will quickly learn to make better decisions.  They’ll make decisions like their lives depend on it, and it WILL.

In the meantime, all of us are morally bound to keep the economy rolling.  You must spend what capital you have remaining.  You must continue to invest.  And there is no better invesment than real estate, specifically property in Atlantis.  Buy your deed here.
