Catherine Austin Fitts The Real Deal

Felix Rohatyn's Financial Holocaust

<snip>
Here is the Real Deal on Felix Rohatyn and his proposals to solve your financial holocaust with more dependency on federal subsidies and debt paid by you and your credit and controlled by Washington.

In the late 1990's, Felix Rohatyn's friend and fellow Council on Foreign Relations colleague, Dick Ravitch was talking to me about his lobbying for large federal increases for domestic subsidy to ensure that his real estate projects would get more subsidy and he could sell them for big profits. We were sitting at dinner the Jockey Club in Washington and he said, "As long as I can get government subsidies, what do I care if people have education or jobs?" In addition to his private interests, Dick was the chairman of the AFL-CIO housing trust that also stood to benefit from more federal subsidies available to "help" poor people in times of trouble.

What Felix is doing is proposing lots of federal government money and contracts to protect the financial interests of the rich from any impact that results from increased narcotics trafficking, financial fraud, corporate takeover of government functions, the deterioration of small business and the movement of jobs and businesses off shore. The rich will not have to worry that the economy does not work --- they will have a pork filled soft landing.

Rather than spending more of our tax dollars, why does Felix not mention all the things that we can stop doing that save us money. We could stop money laundering, we could stop financial fraud, we could stop government corruption, we could stop corporate takeover of government functions, we could apply our anti trust laws to corporate crime against small businesses and our pension funds, we could stop dumping narcotics into our neighborhoods and schools.

<snip to end>
The federal government has been hijacked by financial terrorists -- as a practical matter we no longer have a sovereign government as the federal government has limited if any control over their finances and information systems --- and anything that increases the federal power will promote criminal enterprise in your neighborhood and throughout the world.
