The Senator from Nebraska behaved like an 8th Grader at the Smithsonian asking gee-whiz questions about dinosaur bones, “Oh gee Mr. Dimon, sir, could you tell us how to regulate banking ’cause you’re a great genius and all…”He was so in awe of Dimon it looked as though he was about to ask for the man’s autograph.
Only Merkley had the balls to actually ask some tough questions of this mega-thief who acted like he was doing the Senate a favor for appearing. And Dimon looked irritated as though he was wondering who this pipsqueak Merkley was daring to ask for an accounting of his misdeeds and incompetence. You can be sure when Merkley runs for office next time his Republican opponent will be showered with cash from Wall Street. I also invite the Source’s readers to check out Matt Tiabbi’s newest exposure of the LIBOR scandal, which is just now unfolding. It reveals just how corrupt the world wide banking system is. Shocking stuff. But not much will happen since the Banksters have bought the Republican Party and most of the Democrats as well. Oregonians are fortunate to have Jeff Merkley on our side. Unfortunately, those of us in this Congressional District are stuck with Greg Walden, a total lap dog of Wall Street and a member of the radical Republican nut cases that are now the majority in the House of Representatives.

Here’s the bottom line, folks: With VERY few exceptions (notably Jeff Merkely, Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders) “our” entire Congress is BRIBED into committing intentional TREASON against the Nation and our Constitution. That this bribery is legal is the direct result of Scalias’ “decision” on Citizens United…If you don’t like this fact please thank Mr. Scalia.
FYI: Oran’s Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as “…[a]…citizen’s actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation].” In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavor.
Examples of Congressional treason: The so-called Monsanto Protection Act hidden in a SPENDING bill (HR 933 section 735), The National Defense Authorization Act (the “new and improved” “Patriot” Act..Violates ALL of the Unreasonable Search and Seizure restrictions), SOPA, PIPPA, CISPA, the tax breaks for billionaires and “investment” income vs. wage income (violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment), and many others that we don’t even know about yet…
