AMERICAblog: American Express customers falling behind

    Oh well, I guess all those with the purple/black/gold/platinum/rainbow coalition colored Am-Ex cards are starting to see the cracks in the ivory tower. Although I have 2 or 3 credit cards, I don't really use them except for the occassional purchase to keep my credit rating maintained. As soon as debit cards came out and there was widespread adoption I switched to using my VISa branded ATM card for pretty much all my purchases. I get points and don't have to worry about a bill later on. My philosophy on most purchases (aside from houses and cars), "if you don't have the money in your bank account, you don't need it!".

    This is the ripple effect of GAS PRICES that DO NOT have to be at over $4.

    May every oil executive feel the pain of what they are doing to their fellow human beings.

    GREED will be their downfall.

    The international banking system died last year. We were not told about it. Now we are seeing the residual effects.

    Do you get the picture now??

    LaRouche has been saying this for sometime, alot of you have not been paying attention....

    -------------------------

    Enaharo: Now, what will this breakdown crisis look like? Give me some specific information to let me know when we've reached a breakdown crisis point?

    LaRouche: We're already in it. All you have to do is look around you. Accept the reality, and just grasp the reality: Any citizen who just sits down and does that, knows it. Most people are complaining about it, most people are terrified by it. The price of food: Do you realize that over 40 to 50% of the world's population is on the verge of starvation? And do you realize that when inflation occurs, as it is occurring—it's hyperinflation, actually—that you have politicians from leading countries, saying that the problem is caused by poor people in China, India, and so forth—are eating too much! And they're down to one meal a day, if that! Most, about 40% of the world, is in danger of a food shortage on their tables. And this is a killer: It's becoming worse. That's typical.

    The loss of jobs. We've lost the auto industry, since 2004-2005. We lost it! We don't have our own auto industry any more. We have some Japanese auto industry; we have some other foreign-owned auto industry. We don't have our own money any more, it comes from the international financial community.

    And everything is becoming worse.... It's becoming worse, it's becoming terribly worse. This is worse, already, than the 1929 crash....
