ZIMBABWE - February 10, 2009 - A nation being robbed of its wealth is nothing new. Throughout history murderous tyrants have inflicted pain, poverty, disease and death upon their people for the sole purpose of hoarding wealth and power.

Last night under a threat of financial Armageddon, illegitimate President Barack Obama told America that it must sacrifice the security of generations and support the greatest single wealth transfer scheme in history.

The ransom for this economic terrorism perpetrated by an international banking cartel and delivered by their hand puppet politicians is 9.7 trillion dollars.

The unprecedented transfer of wealth from American citizens to the hands of few is a clear sign that government and the corporations that control it have become completely criminal and are without conscience.

In a recent Bloomberg article by Mark Pittman and Bob Ivry an attempt is made to put the banker bailout figure of 9.7 trillion dollars in perspective. For example, the 9.7 trillion dollar bankster bailout is enough to send every man, woman and child on this Earth a check for $1,430; it is 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; and almost enough to pay off every home mortgage in America.

The scope of criminal behavior now being witnessed in America is best illustrated by the despotism of Robert Mugabe, the autocratic leader of Zimbabwe. Mugabe turns 85 later this month, and even while the people of Zimbabwe survive on international food aid, 94% unemployment and cholera rampage through a population debilitated by hunger, Mugabe and his fellow conspirators enjoy wealth and luxuries most will only read about in history books and fairy tales.

The zealots of the Zanu Party (PF) are planing a birthday party that their glorious leader, President Mugabe, will never forget.

The supply list includes 2,000 bottles of champagne (Moët & Chandon or ’61 Bollinger preferred); 8,000 lobsters; 100kg of prawns; 4,000 portions of caviar; 8,000 boxes of Ferrero Rocher chocolates; 3,000 ducks; and much else besides.

Consolidation of money and power in the hands of the few always leads to servitude and desolation for the many.
