about his epic battle with the big, elite bankers when he was boy mayor
of Cleveland. This excellent article provides important insight into why
pols can behave as they do, and how we citizens tend to be pacified by
hanging the first scapegoat that the media, together with affiliated
allies and power mongers, trots out, rather than REALLY getting to the
root and the truth.
It is worth noting also, that Cleveland is currently particularly hard
hit by the latest "economic downturn" and defaulting mortgages. An
interview with a city councilman by Bill Moyers a few months back has
the official saying this too was on purpose and orchestrated by the big
bankers - who, BTW, have NO relation to the small community banks other
than to swallow them up.
You might recall that Dennis lost his home, his wife and almost his
life, and was run out of Cleveland after the bankers threw the city into
bankruptcy. (He was recalled 10 years later by the City Council and
given an award for his part in saving Muny Light. We have to ask
ourselves, would we be so brave or risk so much in the same situation?)
