Go Peasants, GO!
Monday, a group of 350 to 400 at-risk homeowners, organized by the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, staged a series of protests outside the mansions of wealthy bankers in a moneyed Connecticut neighborhood.
“Called the ‘Predators Tour’ these actions were the start of NACA’s ‘accountability campaign,’ an aggressive, confrontational protest aimed at several top executives of companies that refuse to allow NACA to renegotiate the terms of loans on behalf of members, according to NACA CEO Bruce Marks,” reported the Stamford Times.
“Sporting bright yellow shirts that read, ‘Stop Loan Sharks,’ protesters demanded more accountability from the CEOs of the financial institutions responsible for the millions of unaffordable mortgages in the state and across America,” reported NBC New York in an article titled, “Grab Your Torch and Pitchfork.”

Look for black SUVs and armed guards to become a more common feature of the mansion districts. The rabble are getting restless, and hired guns are the best insurance against property damage. The rich have lived in fortified compounds for centuries. The American rich will get used to it.
During the Great Depression, the rich adopted a low profile to avoid unpleasantness. Today, their gross excesses are harder to hide, and their haunts are well known. So look for a boom in private security services. Protecting the rich may become a major source of employment in predator-ravaged America.
Don’t miss this!
Worse than I feared.
