I am not saying that the release of the documents was the threat, but rather the fact that he said if you try to imprison or prosecute me, my 'friends' will release this info. If you do this, I will retaliate. That is a threat. Not sure how circular that logic is.
As far as the banks, there is nothing he could release that would change anything. They took 9 trillion dollars in virtually interest free loans!!!!!! If that isn't enough to topple them, then nothing is. 9 trillion, that is like half of our deficit, all to one group of people, who turned around and paid their CEOs ridiculous sums of money with it. JPM controls the price of silver by selling silver they don't have, the banks are gobbling up land one piece at a time. Soon that land will belong to government.
We bailed out failing auto companies, and let them keep their unions, the mos crippling facet of their whole process.
We GIVE away billions of dollars in aid to foreign countries that don't even like us.
We are condoning illegal actions (immigration)
What more do you need to topple an empire? Americans are passive, touchy feely, *******. We are so engaged on PC BS, making everything fair, making everything safe, that we have forgotten what is important. Freedom and Justice.
We are at a point where if someone doesn't tell you what to do, then you won't do it.
As I said, I think we share similar views, just not on this specific topic.
