Why the exception?
Sort of continuing the theme of information / not information....
When the power structure conspires to commit a crime, normally truth-tellers are suppressed. They may be Fort Marcy'ed; or they may have a "sailing accident on the Potomac"; or they may be honeytrapped into silence. Most commonly they're forced into situations where they do something that looks crazy, so they can be dismissed as crazy.
The normal pattern doesn't apply with the Wall Street Mafia. On this subject we have at least a dozen smart and knowledgeable people who constantly tell the truth in wonderfully straight language. At the top of the stack we have Elizabeth Warren, Sheila Bair, William Black, and Eliot Spitzer. Of those four, only Spitzer has been honeytrapped, but he decided not to shut up, and nothing bad has happened to him since then.
Of course the power structure is completely ignoring these truth-tellers, proceeding as usual to steal from the poor and give to the rich. That's standard.
But why is the rest of the standard procedure missing? Why do the truth-tellers continue to speak publicly without being suicided or crazified? I'm completely puzzled. No hypothesis.
