Right this minute there are more than a million employees among the four largest US Banks.
The top 4 US Banks have a cumulative total of less than five trillion dollars in assets - and a cumulative exposure to derivatives of more than 211 trillion dollars.
In the story I link below, Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse blog took the time to show the key numbers in 2007 versus those points today. The situation today is tremendously worse than it was in 2007. When the economy blows the engine this time, there is not enough duct tape and chewing gum to fix it.
I know where I stand on the issue: Anyone knowingly and willfully participating in the current rape and imminent implosion of the economy is guilty of malum in se crimes, and they are accessories to the coming deaths of those who will die as a direct result of implosion by famine and disease.
What say you?
Here's the link.

That includes Stock Brokers, Financial Advisers, Hedge Fund Managers, ForEx traders, CFOs and CEOs of EVERY midsize bank on up. Their accountants, tax lawyers and estate planners. They are all guilty and will face justice when the hammer drops.
ReplyDeleteMuch of their info is out there, just waiting to be dumped.
Hey, Sandman. I don't recall disagreeing with your comments and I know you're on a roll...that redoubt may move the world yet. I hope it does.
ReplyDeleteBut damn, that's a wide brush there. Many, many sheeple aren't looters and almost none are threats; people only work with what they know. Besides, I'm pretty sure the goal is Rightful Liberty, not eliminating all immoral actors of any degree. Besides being immoral itself, it's also the case that unachievable goals are never rational.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm looking to WIN.
Goals are only unachievable - until someone achieves it. Yet if you believe you can't do something, you are right.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Sandman said "They will face Justice..." which is proper. Justice has many remedies that don't include "eliminating".
Jim,
ReplyDeleteWith respect, let's clarify it this way:
"Anyone knowingly and willfully participating in the current rape and imminent implosion of the economy is guilty of malum in se crimes, and they are accessories to the coming deaths of those who will die as a direct result of implosion by famine and disease."
^^^Deserve to face trial, justice and prison or death for their actions.
How does that sound? The ditches WILL be full, let's make sure it's not us. And I agree with the win idea.
Thanks, Sandman; I figured that's more like your POV. There are still huge problems with it--like who's going to decide which retired vets qualify and which don't, just for starters--but I'm not looking to argue about it. You probably understand that I don't think in those terms anyway. When I say I see nothing but individuals out there, I genuinely believe it.
ReplyDeleteThanks also, K. It's not time to go around about Justice yet, but it should at least be noted that like ALL conceptual abstractions, which includes ALL of morality, your knowledge of "true justice" may vary widely from someone else's...even someone else who sees things as they are. IOW, please save any charge of moral relativism...you won't find a person on Earth who acknowledges the existence of objective morality any louder than me. I just don't think it's the issue currently, since Job No. 1 is for decent and rational people to live and be free. We can DISCUSS morality then, and IMO you need to realize that your version of morality includes taking physical action against others because of it. It should be more than obvious that this is likewise the underlying principle of all statists. That doesn't make you a statist at all, but it does mean you share a fundamental principle with them.
Plus, it seems to me that true Believers ought to hold that the highest form of Justice belongs to the Lord, and He alone. Don't get me wrong...things have degenerated enough that I'm not terribly concerned about other people's views of Justice. I figure defense will keep me and other adherents of the NAP and Rightful Liberty, busy enough.
I'd say.... your fucking RIGHT!
