If we are to be 'saved', it will be citizens of a once free country who 'remember' what freedom once was. Many nations are doing their best to destroy us, but the greatest of these destroyers are some in the USA.
We have built a highly integrated set of systems which require all to function reasonably well for the entire set of systems to function well. The banking system is much like the circulatory system in biologic systems. Without a reasonably well functioning banking system all systems which rely on credit (debt) to carry on the day to day activities of buisness become starved for the oxygen of buisness. In order to have arrived at this point, beyond the point of no return, means the dependency state of downstream buisness needed to become completely dependent on banking. So, in the ninties, investment banks were unleased with 'permission' to leverege up 30, 40, 50, and at times in excess of 100 times assets. This allowed the banks to 'service' the needs of their customers. As long as the leverege was allowed and no questions asked about the 'phantom' money which bought 'things' and sold 'things' for profit everything was fine.
But think for a moment about what the banks were buying (investing in). They are bankers.....of all folks they need to have their purchases securitized.....so some friendly bankers at Morgan Stanley 'thought up' the idea of over the counter derivitives...that is a pieces of paper, unregulated, between the parties, which "guaranteed" against loss. Those little pieces of paper, with ink on them, was what securitized the purchaces,....not buildings, not T-bills, not real estate, not buisnesses.....little pieces of paper with ink on them....that is all. Under the self imposed delusion, the bankers 'created' security. Except when Lehmans failed and turned to AIG which held little pieces of paper as security for Lehman, AIG said, "Ooops, we got no money to cover your losses." Badda-bing, badda-bang. AIG is immediately bankrupted and Paulson stood there with an $85 billion check to stop all other banks (Hundreds of them, and buisnesses, and other insurance companies, etc. which AIG had written securitization agreements) from going immediately the way of Lehmans.
Paulson stood there and stopped the 'nuclear trigger' which had begun the nuclear chain reaaction of failure of all those banks which resided downstream from AIG. That is why AIG believes it holds Uncle Sams nutsack in the clutches of their hands and has come back to the trough to demand 2 more massive 'injections of capital'. If Paulson and Bernanke- had not granted those monies, scores, if not hundreds of banks would have failed since that infamous day, Sept. 15,2008, when Lehmans was sacrified. Yes, I said sacrificed with the plans to create such havock that it would propell us toward a one world government. As you must know Sarkozy has said as much. So has Paulson and Bush. I believe they did not anticipate the velocity of destruction which began to manifest itself.
We are in the midphase of watching our republics' demise. You ask who will get us out of this. Only ourselves who understand what is at stake could have once saved us. And what is at stake is Freedom. The very freedom we demanded at Concord Bridge, at the Battle of Long Island, at the Boston Tea Party, at the Battle of the Buldge, Normandy, the Battle of Bagdad. The right for your children and my children to be free to use their minds and their hands to forge the kind of life they choose to make. I believe forces beyond our ability to correct have been working for decades to create an electorate who has chosen to be enslaved, if they are offered a subsitance wage. Where is the love of freedom exemplified in our recent election of a Marxist? He got more than 50% of the vote. A complicitous media and a very good speaker was all it took to convince the people that they should lay down and give up precious freedom for the tyranny to come. And it is coming with a vengence. I do not know how freedom will be recaptured once power is handed to this Marxist man. We are the overripe fruit which hangs low for socialism to woo.
If we are to be saved, we must reinfuse every man, woman, and child with a love for Freedom and a desire to destroy tyranny over the minds of men. I fear that order is much too tall for this society to accept. We want what we want, and we want it now.
Who will save us.......nonone but God Himself can save us from what is to come upon this nation...and very, very soon.

Our only chance is to rebel against that immediately. We must flood the media and our Congressmen with our concerns . Only the numbers of those of us who don't agree with this will matter. If that fails we must remember the words of RWR about rebelling against tyranny, "What can they do, hang us from a higher tree?"
There’s a Billy Joe Shaver song that says “I’d have never felt the sunshine if I hadn’t felt the rain”.
I’m afraid there are two many spoiled people in this country who’ve lived in sunshine their whole lives. Their idea of freedom is plenty of food to eat and a television to watch American Idol.
