Those who watched Frontline's special on why nobody has been prosecuted on Wall Street titled appropriately "The Untouchables" didn't learn much new. The rehash of ideas presented is what has been well known for years - namely that when it comes to prosecuting Wall Street criminals nothing will ever happen, because as Bill Gross tweeted [13]" Its not Republican in politics. Its not Dem in politics. Its money in politics" and all the money in politics comes from Wall Street, which happens to be the ultimate ruler of the United States of America, pushing levers here and pulling stringer there to give the impression the constitutional republic is still alive. It isn't - this country has become an unchecked despotism of those in charge of money creation and who control capital - just the thing Andrew Jackson warned against. One thing we did learn, was courtesy of Assistant Attorney General Lenny Breuer who made it very clear that when it comes to the concept of justice the banks are and always have been "more equal" than others. He does so in such shocking clarity and enthusiasm that it is a miracle that this person is still employed by the US Department of Justice.

ReplyDeleteWHERE is that goof that keeps saying it's TREASONOUS to suggest we overthrow and hang these pirates and thieves? He must be a wealthy and comfortable retired CEO whose biggest concern is whether or not to take his dividends or roll them over. Or a politician who knows HE would live 30 minutes when thing start to pop off. GOT to yell TREASON! and hope people fall for it. THINKING people think it's treason for HIM to continue to say everything can be solved by merely electing a NEW set of thieves (because its worked so well lately). Hang him FIRST.
