If you haven't been to the University of Goldman Sachs (been trained and worked there) you are hardly likely to be involved in financial policy making in the USA, Canada or Europe. They have insinuated themselves into all the governments and do what they want, ethics be damned and are completely blind (purposely) to the very idea of "conflict of interest."<br /><br />Only one GS major domo would even speak to the producers of the film and he went silent when asked an actual question, demanding to stop the tape and quickly ending the interview. <br /><br />Jailing these bastards would be a good start on improving the world!<br /><br />It is a show worth watching, even though it is depressing, or likely to incite violence against the assholes who feel entitled to rob the rest of the world of pretty much everything. <br /><br />Lehman Bros was allowed to go under, due to lack of their people in government, but GS negotiated with their own people to make the fact that Obama had declared they would be held accountable irrelevant as the AIG crisis was resolved in the interests of Goldman Sachs who was holding billions of AIG debt. kootcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11344208424209840730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-67739513576890310972013-08-27T08:11:47.821-07:002013-08-27T08:11:47.821-07:00Thanks for the re-post Grant.

Pot and Syria. <br /><br />Now the executive at BC Ferries are able to thieve from us out in the open as the election is over and the rats are in charge for another four years. As long as BC can be put into more debt, there will be continuous thieving until it all blows up like Greece.

No, the Greek people are not lazy.<br />It's all about the big banks, the policiticans. The payoffs and outs. Average joe/jane isn't allowed to earn a decent wage, have time off, have large families. Disgusting. <br />And our last Bank of Canada - Carney, he's gone to London too. He and Gord attended Bilderberg also.<br />DISGUSTED ! Wake Up People, we're all being taken.

He and his favorite henchman Campbell who has the dirtiest record in history, worked as fast as they could to dismantle and thieve this province of all the assets and our natural resources.<br /><br />The dirty thirties was a depression. Recessions just don't happen, they are engineered. How does money just vanish? Someone has it. The giant corporations are sitting on all of the money. They want the globe to crash. <br /><br />There are very few politicians in this world, that are worth the powder to blow them to hell. They are corrupt bottomless pits of greed. Most of them will steal your eyes, and then come back for the sockets.

It seems that people are starting to get a sense, despite the cover-ups, of the extent of the rot and the consequent damage to society and to the idea of civilization. I was gobsmacked by the item this morning about Berlusconi, following the Greek model, has said that he is the only way through the crisis (http://monarpentdeneige.net/staringout/?p=173). It's right in the vein of the Missing Women Inquiry, where Wally gets another gig, and there is no reasonable way to hold anyone responsible for the mess because the individuals who created the mess were just part of a mass of swirling greed, corruption and racism. As usual, thanks for a great piece.Danneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129916194006552602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-5367462858776317792011-10-12T20:23:34.944-07:002011-10-12T20:23:34.944-07:00Michael Campbell ranted on CKNW on Saturday about ...Michael Campbell ranted on CKNW on Saturday about how he could not understand how the Wallstreet protesters could be morning the passing of Steve Jobs, while protesting against the banks. Of course, he forgot to mention the criminality of said banks and how they own the US government. The thing is though that the Michael Campbells of the world are looking like complete idiots as they really have no reasonable arguments to discredit the protesters, since they are right in exposing the crimes of Wallstreet.<br />The CBC had Kevin O'Leary interviewing the acclaimed journalist Chris Hedges and O'Leary called him a "leftwing nutbar". Fortunately, Hedges laid out the case of the 99% eloquently and exposed O'Leary as an ignorant buffoon, which was a thing of beauty. O'Leary looked like he had been whacked in the head with a 30 pound salmon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-15277576467271000362011-10-12T18:19:15.308-07:002011-10-12T18:19:15.308-07:00Hi Mary, Mom is strong, I`m well, lonely though..

The insanity of it. The Olympics -- and there's our Gord in London guiding the Brits into their Olympics money-pit. The breath-taking attitude that profit-taking is OK regardless of consequences. <br /><br /> It's going to take me about a dozen re-reads to get my head around all of what you've told us. Very impressive indeed. <br /><br />I hope you're well, Grant. How is your Mom doing?BC Maryhttp://bctrialofbasi-virk.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
