David Petraeus, former CIA head, is now Chairman of the newly-created New York-based KKR Global Institute, the investment firm of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
Summary: Surveillance and radical classification of "Occupy Wall Street" (by all means necessary, even through mercenaries like Stratfor -- a privatised CIA extension) is beginning to make more sense while alternatives to the current economic system are sought
LAST week there were numerous reports (in the corporate press even) about how the CIA, which is supposed to serve national interests in secret/covert means, actually sort of colludes with the biggest domestic criminals (those causing the most damage). "Jamie Dimon And Lloyd Blankfein Love Being Romanced By The CIA's Top Spies" is how one article put it [1].
The economy is not really in shambles. It is said, based on hard evidence, that there are around 30 trillion dollars in (mostly) illegal offshore havens and this money belongs to people who tell us that we have no choice but to vote for austerity now, i.e. punish the poor. The NSA (CIA) knows about all those tax evasion crimes and it has all the evidence needed for conviction. Instead, the NSA helps IRS
et al. go after those who oppose the aforementioned corruption. There are black budgets that drain trillions of dollars per year and someone is pocketing that money (it is not the middle class). The solutions are really quite simple [2], but top executives won't pursue these solutions. They contribute a great deal to growing disparity and they mock the poor [3], whom they themselves make poor.
It should be no surprise that given these injustices more and more people look for alternatives to the mainstream economy (e.g. Bitcoin [4]). It should be no surprise that secret agencies are eager to shut down Bitcoin and the likes of it (some have already been shut down). The state-protected system, which facilitates greedy banks (that take risks at taxpayers' expense) and runs corporate-leaning spooks like the CIA, is losing credibility and it's easy to see why. When the state and the banks are inseparable, then banks
are the law.

An alternative option would manage unemployment by reducing everyone's work week by 7.5 per cent, or roughly 3 hours out of a week's 40 hours. Every worker would then have 3 hours of extra leisure for which no pay would be received. Instead, the saved money would be used to hire the 7.5 percent of workers who no longer need to be fired. Their work would substitute for the 3 hours lost from every other worker's week. In this way, unemployment would be shared by everyone and not imposed on a minority selected by capitalists.
