Biden wants to Appoint Communist to take over Banking: Scary & Unbelievable

[SigmatheZeta]

*wing-shrugs in regard to financial stuff*

I'm part of a credit union, myself. I don't think that I would ever join a regular bank. I find them to be hostile and unfriendly.

I go into my credit union, and they be like, "What can I do for you, my tovarish?"

I be like, "We are all together in this! We are stronger together!"

So they be, "This transaction will be a great victory for us all!"

I happen to care a lot about intrinsic rewards. It means a lot to me that I am being treated like a person and not so much like a piece of meat when I walk up to the teller window. Even if someone could prove to me that I could make more from a savings account than from my share, I would still not want to do business with a bank. I just feel very uncomfortable when people are looking at me like I am food.

If she wanted to make a positive impression on me, then she would say something nice about credit unions.

I am basically a very confused-looking dog when it comes to discussions about the federal reserve, but what made my decision for me about Saule was when John Kennedy said, “I don't know whether to call you ‘professor’ or ‘comrade.’”

Fuck him. Confirm her now.

I have had so many talks with communists

Wow. They are pretty hard to find nowadays. How do you pick 'em out so easily?

Same way he knows an illegal immigrant on sight. It's the color of their aura.

 

[Keith&Co.]

My point was that authoritarians come for your guns. Trump did not. He embraced the 2nd amendment. The only ones who talk about taking the guns are Democrat authoritarians. Strange, right?

Fox will mever tell you this, but you might want to actually look up Trump and legislation on guns....

Anyway, Trump was working behind the scenes. He sent Cuomo a huge battleship and he sent people to die in nursing homes instead just to stick it to Trump. Imagine killing people's grandparents just to spite Trump. Sadistic stuff. Democrats have been terrible for COVID.

Now you are starting to sound like Clownstick. So now I know you don't know much of anything about the military. That minor bit was informative, but certainly not for any of the reasons you might been trying to convey. Now can you figure out just what within what you said here is off the wall?

 

[SigmatheZeta]

I mean...I don't like having where I came from held against me.

I have had experiences where someone found out that I came from a Southern US state and had a Confederate soldier in my family tree, and I was just explaining to somebody that, after reading his war-diary, I was pretty sure that my great great great grandfather was really just this dumb boy that lived on a tobacco farm and didn't even know where to get a damn slave, much less own any. Some fucking bitch painted a caricature of me as a knuckle-dragging racist neanderthal over that. She also misgendered me repeatedly, not by accident (I don't care about that) but spitefully because she wanted to imply that I somehow represented all the most offensive possible male stereotypes.

I am a blue-haired transgender woman that plays tag with cops at Black Lives Matter rallies, and I quote Peter Kropotkin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon like a good little anarchist. I have spent my life trying to establish an identity separate from that which was foisted off on me against my will because having somebody else's identity forced upon me feels like a Freudian nightmare of being consumed and dissolved by a giant amoeba. It is such a struggle to have a personal sense of identity that pigeonholing people based on their origin is hideously cruel.

Somebody that holds a person's background against them needs to be stabbed in the gut and left to die slow.

You missed the point. It's been almost 2 years of "just 2 weeks to slow the spread." We went into lockdown. Didn't work.

It did not work because small percentage of people actively sabotaged it, the rest sabotaged it passively.

And it worked in China.

It worked over there because they are very authoritarian. Trump was not authoritarian no matter how much people like to say he was. If he was, we would've been locked down without questions. Thank God Trump is the farthest thing from an authoritarian. Tell me, does China allow its people to have guns like Trump did?

So, now it is about Trump&guns?

I did not know Trump passed 2nd amendment. He must be a vampire or Highlander of some kind.

That is why his head is sculptured upon Mt. Selfgushmoore.

Also, have you heard of Hasan Piker? He's one of the msot popular figures on the left and he got rich talking on youtube about how much capitalism sucks. He recently bought a 3 million dollar mansion and he still talks about how much capitalism sucks and how communism is the best. So a guy who got rich only because of capitalism and now lives in a mansion is still trying to convince people that capitalism sucks. This is the best the left has. Don't you find that funny?

Never heard of the dude before. Anyway, individual people can be quirky. Rush Limbaugh asked Elton John to perform at his wedding; and Elton John did. I found that quite funky. People quite often don't fit within the tiny little boxes that other people try to imprison them within...

I'll note that this last year my position changed on guns. This is not because my concerns about what leads to a civil society have changed but rather my beliefs about whether civility is possible or even recommended at this stage in history.

I have gone from "there is nothing in this country needing defense against to the point where you would need more than a few rounds" to "there are active militias seeking to destabilize and capture the central government, and everyone with any military or tactical training left of Hitler needs to ammo up."

I clicked on OP's link. This Omarova atended school in Uralsk at the same time as there was a giant statue of Vladimir Lenin in front of the Uralsk Communist Party Headquarters. Pretty incriminating.

As for her political leanings, I think we can learn a lot by checking out the "scholars" whose ideas she parrots in her recent article. Morgan Ricks was a senior advisor to Barack Obama during the 2009 crisis, diverting hard-earned money from the calloused hands of real workers to prop up quasi-state institutions like Goldman Sachs. Michael Kumhof is the senior research advisor at the Bank of England: That's right; the same England that tried to cram the communistic tea tax down our throats twelve score and eight years ago. I could go on, but you get the idea. Her Marxist ideas are self-incriminating. From that article:

More fundamentally, the proposed restructuring of the Fed’s balance sheet would democratize not only access to financial services but also the very process of generation and allocation of financial resources.... It would make financial markets less complex, more stable, and more manageable sites of truly private risk-taking. In effect, putting the People’s Ledger in action would restore the socially efficient balance between private intermediation and public generation of credit. It would reprogram the financial system to support productive economic activity and to serve the needs of the American people.

"Public generation of credit" is straight out of the play-book of Milton Friedman, darling of the communist dictator Augusto Pinochet. And look at the final clause in the excerpt — "serve the needs of the American people." This is an exact echo of Karl Marx's "to each according to his needs." Her Marxo-terrorist leanings couldn't be clearer if she carried an AR-15 into the committee hearing room.

I'm surprised OP didn't attach the photograph of the Lenin statue from Omarova's own home town. It really tells us all we need to know. I think she tried to distract from that by attending Vanderbilt University with its statues of the Vanderbilt family, but — uh uh — we're not fooled so easily. Anyway, Anderson Cooper, CNN's communistic "reporter," is a Vanderbilt.

No critical thought whatsoever. Just bumper sticker politics from the that side of the spectrum.

'Fess up, folks! Doesn't Generation55 hit the nail on the head with this observation?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Rather than posting the giant statue of the Commodore himself, I'm showing the statue of his great grandson Harold Stirling Vanderbilt. He was a leading light in the early development of the game of Contract Bridge. Anyone want to play?

Crazy how a perfect communist uptopian country like cuba still has crap cars from the 50's on their streets. Funny, isn't it?

1. The 1950s is the era when all the conservatives think we should all be as great as, isn’t it? “Take Our Country Back” is all about taking it back to the 50s.
2. If you’ve got a bunch of cars still running after 70 years, they aren’t “crap cars,” are they.

The rest of your posts just say more unsubstantiated stuff that’s been debunked dozens of times.
I’m frankly surprised that you don’t get angry at the sources that feed you this kind of information, they know it’s all been debunked, but they propagandize hoping they can get their marks to believe it and get angry over it and vote for the GOP, who will do nothing about it at all, just keep moving money from the pockets of the working man to the vaults of the ultra rich.

I’ve heard that a lot of people are starting to get very angry at folks like Alex Jones and OAN and Brietbart an Tucker Carlson for suckering them, and they’re not going to fall in line fo the ultra rich any more.

Well since I go by nothing but the facts, I will say that when Obama was President, the media loved the guy. He could do no wrong. He was The Savior. Then anti-establishment Trump came into office and the media despised him and treated him like dirt every single day of his Presidency hammering him relentlessly. A wimp would've quit after 1 day of that treatment. Trump took it every single day no-stop for 4 years. Then Biden came in and now the media loves him. Biden can do no wrong, either.

The question is why? Why did the establishment media despise Donald Trump but loved Obama and Biden? It's almost like Trump was actually for the people and the establishment hated him for it. The idea of a conservative being the actual rebel is an idea that is alien to many people. The funny thing is, the conservatives are the underdogs now and everyone knows it. The left has big tech, corporations, the media, and Hollywood under their control. Conservatives are portrayed nowhere. They have become the new counter-culture. It's become cool now to consider yourself a socialist or a communist and it's become rebellious to call yourself a capitalist. What a long way we've come.

We literally live in a society where it is considered racist to tell a black man that his life would be better if he got a job, yet those same people make fun of rural unemployed whites for not having a job and call them inbred hicks. Very racist.

The media loved Obama and he could do no wrong??? Tan suit, anyone?

The media loves Biden. Patently ridiculous as this article clearly shows,

A wave of good news for Biden wrecks media's doomsday narrative

Still obsessing over Va.

Terrible. She never denied the existence of said paper. She just won't show it or give any reasons why she won't show it.

Never saw those tax returns that Trump promised to release. He promised that the day he entered the presidential race. Then, he just kept lying and lying about them.

Much more terrible than a decades old homework assignment. Do you really not see that?

Poor '55. Starts a troll thread about his irrational imagined fears of a very competent Biden nominee ("all banking will be done through the fed"... whatever that is supposed to mean). Ends up quoting an anonymous poster on an unidentified forum, as if the fact that someone said something makes whatever they said true because '55 endorses it.
For the benefit of '55, one must loudly endorse all the excesses of capitalism or be labeled "commie", along with the monsters in his closet and under the bed.
Fear and ignorance are the two hands of evil.

 

[Elixir]

I did read her writings.

I believe you are ... uh ... UNtruthing. Fabricating. Indulging in mendacity, as right wingers are like to do.
Please link to the writings you "did read" because I don't think they exist.

She didn't provide a copy to the committee, but ... she provided it to YOU? ROFL!

 

[laughing dog]

The thesis in question was written in 1989 for her undergraduate degree. It is conceivable she has no copy if it.
I don’t have a copy of any papers I wrote as an undergraduate.

Then why doesn't she say that? Or at least summarize her views on Marxism.

I don’t know, it us posdible she has snd Toomey is lying. It is possible she feels a paper she wrote as an undergraduate over 30 years ago is irrelevant.

Still waiting for some actual evidence that

1) shiws she us a communist, and

2) shows from her written or stated views how she would destroy the US banking system all by herself.

Oh I see, you expect her to just stand up and say, "i am a full blown Marxist and I want to give all power to the FED and bring down the banking system. It's all government now, baby!" Well, this is the real world where people hide thier intentions.

In simpler terms, you have no evidence she is a communist.

I seem to recall Trump never stating, "I am a white supremacist hellbent on destroying all non-whites." Yet, that didn't stop you guys from inferring it.

Now, I don't believe Trump is a white supremacist but I can certainly see how people might get that impression. He did play fast and loose with his words a lot. I think he was just desperately trying to play both sides in a way to get more votes. But, the fact that he had the biggest plan in American history for the black community where he wanted to invest $500 billion in capital so they could open businesses and start generating wealth, I can definitely say he's not a white supremacist. Under capitalism, you need to get capital somehow to start out. The rpboelm we have with capitalism is that we don't have enough of it or make it easy for people to generate capital. Trump knw this. He's a smart man.

In simpler terms, you have no evidence she can and will destroy the US banking system.

I like to call myself an anarcho-communist, but that does not mean what most people think it means.

Well, assuming you're using the component words for their meanings rather than for their penumbras, either it means you're in favor of getting rid of the State and then you expect the people to adopt communism without anyone making them, or else it means you're in favor of the State turning society communist and then you expect the State to wither away.

 

[Bomb#20]

There are a lot of people who think postal banking is the way forward. The issue is, of course, that the banks are doing a cockup of the financial sector. ...
Just the fact that postal banking offers all investment back to the held accounts means that conventional banking could not compete. ...
Of course, there will be plenty of banker's who suddenly are very interested in working with the post office for setting up postal banking, and all of them should be shot when they try...

So a person who drools over eliminating private competition from an economic sector is the same person who drools over shooting people who aren't on board with his social engineering plans. Never could have seen that coming.

Postal banking is a great idea. Lots of countries have it. The U.S. had it until the 1960s. We should should start doing it again. A lot of people would benefit. It wouldn't render conventional banks unable to compete. Back when we had it it didn't render conventional banks unable to compete. Postal banking and conventional banking and credit unions serve different markets because they're optimal for different niches in a diverse financial ecosystem. Never could have seen that coming.

 

[Bomb#20]

I mean...I don't like having where I came from held against me.

I have had experiences where someone found out that I came from a Southern US state and had a Confederate soldier in my family tree, and...

I mean, I used to think I was an anticommunist. Then I got to know a scientist from the former Soviet Union. Now I know what a real anticommunist looks like.

I am definitely fascinated with the writings of Pyotr Kropotkin and his literary influence Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

An anarcho-communist does not necessarily call for overthrowing the government as long as the government is able to do something as simple and elementary as staying out of some people's way. Anarcho-communism is not a form of government, but it is a method of organizing people in spite of the government, in absence of the government, or with the tacit support of the government. Theoretically, you could call yourself a weird monastic order, and nobody would bother you.

The truth is, though, I don't want to treat either Pyotr Kropotkin or Pierre-Joseph Proudhon as prophets. They are these guys that wrote some books, and their ideas were interesting. I'll take the parts I like, and I'll use them and consider the rest to be fiction.

*wing-shrugs*

I mean if you want an example of anarcho-communism working in actual practice, look to the open source community. They are the closest thing that I can think of to a practical application of the basic idea of at least some of the concepts. I always really liked the idea of open source. Open source might not be precisely what Pyotr Kropotkin had in mind, but I am absolutely certain that he would not have objected to the idea.

But when I talk about any philosophy whatsoever, never forget that I am a dragon. We are not even orthodox about being unorthodox. We are the ultimate heretics. We are elemental blasphemers. I can read Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's or Pyotr Kropotkin's work and say, "It's interesting, and I cherry-picked some interesting concepts from their books." I show my appreciation for an idea by immediately perverting it.

Can we skip all that and go straight to the merits of Many World Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics?

You noted a dodge? You've dodged so much in this thread you must be the CEO of Chrysler. Constant whataboutism and gish galloping throughout.
