"Financial terrorism and economic weapons of mass destruction, how come we don’t declare war on them?"
Good point. My only question is who is the "we" you are referring to?
Is the "we" our own financial institutions who stand to make a killing here, or if they make the wrong decisions, will throw the world into a depression and utter chaos?
Is the "we" the US government who is the means to an end for those mentioned above? The government who put the taxpayers on the hook for billions and trillions without requiring any accountability or punishment for those who created this mess? The government that employes the key figures in the meltdown in strategic positions and appointments?
Is the "we" the the individual taxpayer who has tasted what it is like to reap the fortunes in high risk stakes and then watched their fantasy burst as the house of cards came tumbling down? Is it the people who are struggling just to survive and who still believe there is a magical answer that will restore their fantasy life to solvency and financial growth? Is it the people who can recite the marketing they were sold but have little clue as to how this entire game is played in totality and by what rules?
Who do you expect to wage this war?
