loved the utube!
Wait, what? Did the FDIC just seize Deposits and then sell them to JP morgan? How the fuck did they do that?
This was likely done to put pressure on Congress to push the bailout through. The timing is just too perfect.
I still say we need to organize a general strike - pick a day and no one goes to work or school!

WE SHOULD BE IN THE FUCKING STREETS, OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC AND RAISING HELL!

"WaMu ended August with $143 billion in retail deposits -- roughly triple the size of the entire Federal Deposit Insurance Corp fund that backs customer deposits. It has also said it expects to end the quarter with a "well-capitalized" status well in excess of federal minimums."

so where does this power of the FDIC to seize deposits come from? anyone know?
Okay, then let's organize a general strike and then "BE IN THE FUCKING STREETS, OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC AND RAISING HELL!"
If that doesn't provoke martial law then I don't know what will! Are ya ready?Cuz if we did that, we'd be playing right into their hands.
I went and saw Naomi Klein speak yesterday. She said that a general strike a la France is the only way we are ever going to be able to impact the govt. You say that we are playing into their hands? How?
She stated that every time the citizens have had a massive general strike, the government has backed down. It just worked in Pakistan for example.
