Faces Of Foreclosure

America has Super Man, Super Woman, Super Bowl . . . and we have Super Thieves. Actually, the world has always had Super Thieves from pre-Crusades to Bernie Madoff and Hank Paulson (reportedly Paulson managed to heist $700 billion for his Wall Street cronies).

From a blog: If our country ever collapses from all these politicians ripping us off, it will be like in the French Revolution, these people will be hunted down and executed by the angry mobs. Remember that lawyer several years ago who ripped his client off, hiding behind the tree and dodging bullets his client was trying to pump into him and caught on camera? Picture Paulson, Dodd or Reid or all the other thieves in our government in that scenario.

and from another blog post:

There are VERY few losers in this scheme. You know, most of the investors are in on the game. They will be leaving the country in a year or so and going to the middle east where they will build hotels, casinos and shopping malls with stores that make Harrod’s of London look like Walmart. They have stolen the gold and now they are taking off to steal from the Arabs. Little do they know that gold will not be the new form of money in United States. They will not be able to buy from us, so they will have to eat the gold that they stole from the American people.

I don’t have time for this yet, but I reserved SuperThieves.com a in late 2009 as I am fascinated with these men and women who think they can get away with absolutely anything and who don’t care who gets harmed in the process. I like making money as much as the next person, but it is absolutely mandatory to screw everyone around you to do so?

These pages are devoted to the Super Thieves . . . with quite a bit of fascination. Who do they think they are? Why do they think what they are doing is acceptable? Why/how do they get away with it? Do they sleep well after destroying a life for the sake of improving their bottom line?

Years ago, during a long argument with a friend, he insisted that the Crusades were for religious purposes, whereas I took the stand that all “crusades” (then and now) are for acquisition of land, money, people, livestock, etc. Astrocities were committed by knights throughout the Middle Ages in foreign lands. The later middle ages saw a new kind of knight who was a professional adventurer, motivated by nothing higher than gain – a mercenary in fact. By the mid-fourteenth century there were large numbers of these men in Europe, with no place in society other than as soldiers of fortune.

One of the greatest scandals resulted from the recruitment of such men in the “Crusade” against the city of Alexandria in 1365. The mercenaries sacked the city, slaughtered thousands of its inhabitants (including many Christians although they were purportedly rousting the “infidels”) stole as much loot as they could carry and then went home, with the result that the city fell back into the hands of “the Infidel” within days of its conquest.

A successful knight could make an immense fortune, as can be seen from the example of William the Marshall and others,

Veterans of various wars around the world do not sleep well. How do people who rob American citizens of everything in the name of commerce fare . . . can they sleep?

This is beyond the current focus of America’s lenders; it will include the head of large corporations who poison us: i.e. Coca-Cola, cigarette manufacturers, unnecessary food dyes that are harmful . . .

Obviously others have the idea. The following is from one of those sites and we will be adding to the list shortly . . .
