In addition to being a regular reader of Glenn Greenwald (http://www.salon.com/writer/glenn_greenwald/ thanks to bls I have now (re)discovered Matt Taibbi (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog (also see my post yesterday).
I particularly like this post: Wall Street Isn’t Winning – It’s Cheating: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/owss-beef-wall-street-isnt-winning-its-cheating-20111025
He is somewhat profane (which I like) but does seem to have a very good grasp of things, at least based on my research. I have read several Rolling Stone articles in the past (heck, they might have even been Matt’s) and liked them, but never saved a bookmark to come back regularly.
Much like the post I added yesterday, I am somewhat at a loss on how to add additional useful comments to what Matt had to say. It is very clear to me that the sheeple are being lied to regularly and with malice aforethought. Because, of course, they are sheeple, they go right along with it (for instance, 90% of the coverage of Occupy Wall Street is about the fuckups that are invading the movement with the only intention to engage in vandalism (I would not even lift an eyebrow if it were found that these people were in fact financed by the elite) rather than the 99% of the time where the protesters are trying to communicate their messages).
Oh well, I guess as long as I can keep my claws on being in the top 2-3% of earners in the country (note: I pay taxes at the higher rate that does not apply to millionaires and billionaires, so people like me are the ones that actually pay our country to operate) I should turn a blind eye and enjoy my cake as long as it is available.
