your kidding right?
your actually arguing that really rich powerful people are not doing everything in their power to get richer and more powerful?

I wonder though Mish, was it well documented in 1915?

maybe you could start by reading something really mainstream Mish: how about the NYT? Conspiracy minded though they are...

nytimes.com

You think the fact that TG's long history of personal relationships, dinners, lunches and tutelage by Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and most of the CEOs of Wall Street’s largest investment bankers, brokers and investment funds might not have had any influence on his decision making?

I am sorry, Mish, but unless you can prove to me that you are an oath-bound member of Skull & Bones, I cannot tell you.

Me. I was in on the conspiracy. I also was in the 9/11 conspiracy. (In fact, I personally planted the explosives in the WTC on direct orders from the Illuminati and Dick Cheney.)

And Mish, if you're nice to me I'll clue you in on joining the next conspiracy. These things are really profitable.

MISH, you are funny.

let's see, the banksters were the number one contributor to congress, to the tune of well over a billion dollars over time, b/c they love the citizenry so much?

you are a smart guy, they were conspiring to eliminate laws that prevented them from getting even more wealthy.

why did the money center banks lobby to get treasury secretaries that did the bidding of the big money center banks?

so they could enrich the american people at their own expense?

really?

i mean *really*?

almost all congress persons are essentially amoral mercenaries out to do the bidding of the highest bidder. that's why banksters are the highest bidder.

you understand this, right?

why was blankfein called into a private meeting regarding AIG?

you think these are random government decisions being made with no influence by the big money center banks that dropped billions on congress over the years?

you actually believe a politician when s/he says the money doesn't matter as they then go about doing the business of those who gave them cash?

*really*?
