CB and Fin Min. self service on the national treasury! Next there will be some 'accidents' like fire in buildings and recods will be gone.... Angola probes illegal C.Bank, FinMin transfers Wed Nov 25, 2009 1:09pm EST Oil falls 2.5 percent on Dubai default worries More Business & Investing News... LUANDA, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Officials from Angola's Central Bank and Finance Ministry have illegally transferred money abroad, prosecutors said on Wednesday, promising to recover the missing funds. The statement from the Attorney General's office was short on details and did not say how many officials were involved, how much money had been allegedly stolen or when charges might be expected. The announcement came just days after President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said the ruling MPLA party had been timid in its fight against corruption and called on its members to implement a "zero tolerance" policy on corruption. [ID:nLL75727] "The attorney general's office, in coordination with other competent authorities, will carry out efforts to clarify these facts, considered to be illicit and criminal, and will return the money taken from the national treasury," the statement from the Attorney General's office said. "It will present the alleged authors of these illicit acts to court," it said.

It's amusing that the word "protectionist" is used as though those taken prisoner are "protected". They are protected in the same way that the Mafia collects "protection money". NZ, being a minor economic power somewhere near the edge of the planet has been the subject of various protectionist measures by so-called allies like USA, France, Britain which have banned or put quotas and tariffs on NZ products. My attitude is that's their problem. If they don't want low cost good quality products, somebody else will. Sure enough, China seemed to be willing to buy all that was available. Euroserfs being "protected" by their politicians are like sheep and cows in NZ being protected by farmers who fleece and milk them for all they are worth. Life in Protectionville can be quite pleasant as long as the Sheeple have no aspirations and are happy to munch grass all day and be herded by sheep dogs when it's fleecing time. What is fascinating is how in large scale Stockholm Syndrome the sheeple vote for more of the same every election. They are frightened of freedom and prefer the farmer to do their thinking for them.
