Mr Saunders is saying exactly what some of us here,Hawk, GFS and a few others have been saying for years, that the system is controlled by the finiancial institutions.....global capitalism.

The problem is, most of you people are still fighting the battles they want you to fight.......Divisive party politics, civil and human rights issues, unions who pretend to fight for workers, but are owned by the capitalists.
Capitalism in decline, as we are seeing in most Western countries, has nothing to give the poor or the middle class, we are obsolete,they no longer need us, but will continue to suck the last drop of blood
through increased prices for the necessities of life, like light, heat, food, and water.
Their only failure has been their inability to package and market air.

To be in any position to challenge the system there must be unity, while we are divided on party lines, believing that some day OUR kind of society will evolve within a capitalist system, we are bound to fail.
In America and to a lesser extent Britain, this means a move to the centre right, thats where the people are....not in "liberal" think tanks like Mudcat.
You may not like these people....they may be easy to ridicule, but by god you're gonna need them, because they are the ones with enough belief to fight bleed and die for a cause like freedom
It is telling that these are the very people who have been harnessed by the Tea Party and who are the only voice in the West to condemn Government policy no matter what label it is under.

If you have sense, you will start makin' friends with and influencing these people pretty quick.....if you dont, and they are marginalised, the consequences could be terminal.
