Are Attorney General Holder’s Statements on Banks and Drones Connected?
■ The president can assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil
■ The big banks shouldn’t be prosecuted, as that would destabilize the economy
These statements may – at first glance – seem unconnected. And the mainstream media is treating them as separate. True, the government is hell-bent on keeping the giant banks afloat, even though virtually all independent economists, financial experts and bankers are calling for them to be broken up, and Americans overwhelmingly want the government to get tougher on prosecuting Wall Street fraud. But there might be more to it then than that … and Holder’s statements may be intimately connected. For example, the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and other government agencies worked hand-in-hand with the big banks to violently crack down on the Occupy protests. And what was Occupy protesting? One of the core complaints of the Occupy protesters was that there are two systems of justice: the little guy gets thrown in jail for the smallest infraction, while banksters escape prosecution for their criminal fraud.
