Never paranoid enough, again
Every now and then I'll get carried away with paranoia, and my natural caution will damp it down.
Then the real news will pop out somehow, and I'll see that my paranoia was gravely UNDERSTATED; I'll realize that my worst nightmares were only about 10% of the real problem.
Happened in
1969; happened again with Watergate. Happened in 2008 when I could
see something coming but didn't realize the full extent of the Mafia takeover until Shotgun Paulson pulled the TARP over the whole unfortunate country.
Now it's happened with the Euro crisis. I've been ranting about Goldman too much, or so I thought ... and was trying to take it down a few clicks..........
Until tonight, when I caught the truth while looking for news blooper clips to amuse me before bedtime!
Watch
this clip from France 24 TV, summarizing a report in the Paris paper le Monde.
Or read
this piece by Bill Bonner in the Christian Science Monitor.
Le Monde and CSM are a long long long way from the Birchers or Newsmax, to put it mildly. Yet they're quite openly exposing a truly grand and monstrous conspiracy.
Roughly speaking: Goldman spent several years using its agents in Italy and Greece to set up the debt crisis, encouraging those gov'ts to overspend and encouraging the rating agencies to overrate the debt. Meanwhile, Goldman was laying bets on the crisis in the form of credit default swaps as usual. When the crisis happened (presumably on schedule) Goldman used its agents in the EU bureaucracy to plant obvious and non-secret Goldman agents as the new unelected heads of Greece and Italy. These new heads are steering Europe on the predestined Goldman trajectory. Zero interest, infinite bailouts, infinite chaos, total starvation.
Centralize, commoditize, securitize. Guaranteeing perfect conditions to maximize Goldman's swaps and speculations.
Huge kudos to Bonner for being (far as I can tell) the only American in mainstream circles to mention the whole thing.
I'm totally unsurprised at the lack of mention elsewhere.
But I'm still amazed at all these actors prancing around on the world stage, pretending to be "ruling countries" and "solving problems" while in fact they're just reading Goldman's script. They're openly and brazenly leading an entire continent into total bankruptcy, just as Shotgun Paulson, Rezident Bush, Comrade McCain and Obama did with the US in 2008. The people of Europe know it's all wrong, and they're weakly attempting to protest, but to no avail.
Goldman is all. Goldman is the universe. Heil Goldman! Heil Goldman! Heil Goldman!
