Time to Blockade Goldman Sachs and Washington D.C.

If you agree with what I'm about to say, please pass this on to everyone you know.

If it's true that Goldman Sachs:

1. Packaged CDO's (the vile instruments of financial mass destruction that have caused so much grief) filled with toxic mortgages based on the fact that they had home owners financial information (mortgage papers include social security numbers)

2. They induced AIG to give these pitiful instruments AAA ratings (for a price)(i.e. they got a seal of approval for absolute crap)

3. They then sold these CDO's to pension funds and others reperesenting U.S. citizens.

4. They then bet against their own Frankenstein creations via the stock market. An easy bet as they knew how much crap they had jammed into the CDO's.

5. They then accepted government bailout money negotiated by former Goldman Sach's employees.

In other words if Goldman Sachs:
Processed crap.
Got an official seal of approval for what they knew was absolute crap.
Sold crap as AAA rated filet mignon.
Bet against their own AAA crap.
Allowed their tame politicians and former employees to give them a special TARP bonus for cleaning up the mess produce by their crap.

Then Goldman Sach deserves what I'm going to recommend - Banishment.

If these 5 statements are true then there are evil geniuses at Goldman Sachs who have commited:
1. Unspeakable Acts against the American public and their own country. Treachery of the most vile nature for money.
2. Unethical Acts of the most heinous nature.
3. Fraud against these United States and the American public.

The problem is that Goldman Sachs (and other financial firms) have purchased our Congress and our Senate via campaign contributions and through their lobbyists. (There was more money spent in 2009 on lobbying than ever before)

So if this is all true, how should Goldman Sachs and their employees be punished?

If we leave it to our elected representatives and their bosses at Goldman Sachs they will be punished by receiving massive financial rewards (bonuses) and the reinforcement to do this again. And again. And again.

How should the American public reward this behavior? March on Goldman Sachs and Washington D.C. and shut this mess down. In a peaceful show of power let's stand together and demonstrate that this is still our country and we're not going to let a few bankers destroy our freedom.
