Default The moral bancruptcy of Golden Sacks

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/op...achs.html?_r=1

Not really surprising if you look at things in a similar way like I do, nevertheless: the level of cynism that has come to power and money in modern times is breathtaking.

Some say the system has brought us this far and thus it works well. I say if a system created temporary wealth for some only at the price of bringing it to the abyss that we stand by now, it is no functional system, but a suicidal one.

If violent revolution would break out in the West, I would understand why it is coming - and I no longer would resist it, nor would I raise a hand to defend the old corrupt order.

That far we have gotten - that now, at the age of 45, I think like this.

I do not turn radical because some radical paroles or stupid propaganda have caught me. I turned accepting radical cleanups because the old order fails so miserably and totally and completely, leads us deeper and deeper into the sh!t - and still has not gotten enough.

P.S. Just for the record, I do not thinki is is Golden sacks alone, but the vast amjority of huge banks. That they cheat theirn customers in order to make their own maximum profit I take as granted. To me, a bank is a ordinary customers's natural enemy - the interests of both are totally antagonistic, with the customer being prey. And often, banks are complices in rightout crime.

"Golden Sacks"?

I guess it's possible. They are pretty rich over there at Goldman Sachs...

Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan the list goes on, they don't care because they run the world.

Just enough glister in the chicken feed of Bonds they sell you which turn out to be toxic. Some advice for Italy, don't sell your gold reserves or you will be facing a Greece situation. And get rid of that PM he has connection to Goldman Sachs.

In real terms of money, one sheet of toilet paper.

They are loaded big time.
