[...] to allow workers to have more money is to destroy the Oligarchs (read also : “Let’s just call bankers ‘oligarchs’ “). that doesn’t make me anti-capitalist, it makes me [...]

@Don Joe (bag O chickens). Yep, and they should all go to jail in my view. I mean, what a p*ss take! Bloody massage chair! Cleaning out someone’s moat or swimming pool and claiming for mortgages that didn’t exist! What a joke! I don’t think I can take credit for the police investigation though, I think I was one of many, many people who contacted the police. The British people are disgusted by the behaviour of their MP’s, for a number of reasons but this last just take the biscuit. The media are saying that this could lead to the dissolving of Parliament.
I am very suspicious regarding the agenda on this one. In my experience the msm do not run with anything unless they’re allowed to, so there must be a reason for this. The robber baron’s usual MO is to cause chaos and in that they are succeeding. It could be that they want to get rid of Parliament and replace it with something else or force us in to Europe lock, stock and barrel. The other possibility is that Lord Black, the owner of the newspaper that broke the story wanted his revenge against the politicians and the robber barons because they scapegoated him (he is currently sat in a US prison serving a 7 year sentence). Anyway, we’ll see what happens but I don’t think it’s gonna go away and people have said they’re not voting for any of them in the next election. In fact I think someone said they’d rather see them all hung from lamp posts. Now that would be a sight worth seeing.

@Rian Orr,
You’re right. My Mom has always said they’re keeping us in our place.

@Giuseppe. It could be protectionism or it could be a similar con to the one played on Europe back in the 70s when we were told that signing up to join Europe was purely based on trade – turns out they lied.

Paul Craig Roberts calls them Financial gangsters.

Some progressive commentators have called him oligarchs.

They all apply. Parasites is another good description.

@bzmoore

You make an ugly point so eloquent. I, as an “American” am ashamed of what the mega money war machine has done to the people of my own country and those of the world. In the US being blood thirsty and racist is seen as being a patriot. I hope that as Humans, we can evolve from Humans Doing too Human Beings.
And I pray for the Palestinians and all people of Earth. We have such great potential if only it could be unleashed.

Getting the feeling that the shit might be hitting the fan sooner than expected like in an economy worse than expected. I heard that countries are demanding their physical gold stored elsewhere like Germany in the U.S. Can or will they deliver?

Woo hoo !!!
BUY AMERICAN!!!
looks like the USA wants a trade war with Canada.
Isn’t that fantastic???
I can understand the desire for the USA to create more “stuff” with the MADE IN THE USA label…
but come on…
if something is MADE in the states,
who cares where the raw materials come from.
It’s not like the USA has much in the way of resources.

Unless you count the nations it occupies or tries to control…
I can’t wait to see how fast the Lesbian Cowboy Harper runs to the WTO over this crap…

Call them what you will, I prefer the tried and tested, FCs, the ruling class, regard it as, as necessary to destroy the emergent middle class upstarts as much as they desire the total suborbination of the mass of the population.

Everyone must be controled and everyone must serve. The middle class people I have met live a world of delusion, thinking that they are valued and must be preserved. No wonder the are looking for one last desparate out. I have no sympathy for their plight. Pathethic hypocrits to a man/woman.

I dont know where Max / Stacey fit into this but lately Max sounds like a good old ‘Ranter’ and that’s good enough for me.

You cannot get a job at the US FTC unless it is via favoritism and nepotism — in fact failing to engage in “Insider Trading” will get you fired rather quickly.

If the UK “white colonies” of Australia, Canada and NZ there are actual punishments for insider dealing. However, this lack of total corruption in these colonies has more to do with ensuring these colonies have functioning economies regardless of the sickness of the mother country.

I jokingly called Max an ‘economedian’ once, maybe a more negative spin on the word could be ‘economaniac’……..
