    Haha. The neoliberal rag had no choice really.

    However, remind folks of last week’s front cover…

    “The Precarious Brilliance of London” Oo

    Forget the phrase “more cowbell”. It’s time for something a little bit more appropriate.

    “More rope”

    When you actually understand the significance of rigging interbank lending rates then you also have to understand that this affects everyone on the planet. Your talking about the cost to produce food, the cost of doing buisness and the interest you receive on bank deposits. Not to mention foreign exchange. Max is correct when he rightly points out that crimes of capital/equity deserve capital punishment.

    The end.

    No it is not “the end”. That is a whole other friggin’ debate, mate. When you start executing people, you always end up killing innocents.

    More to the point, I have noticed a few posters now advocating that kind of murder (some other poster called Rowlandson) and it is at best irresponible and naive; or at worst, we now have provocateurs trolling us.

    But apart from your blood thirsty solution, I totally agree with your summary. Peeps need to ignore the MSM propaganda (i.e. that this crime doesn’t really affect the ordinary person) and understand it affects us all.

    so what are they going to pull to draw our attention away from all this? A false flag terrorist attack? ‘humanitarian intervention’ in Syria? a Brit winning Wimbledon? ha haha….

    Flopot given modern truth serums, polygraph machines, interrogation and torture techniques I am sure the truth about who is guilty or innocent could be found out before the issue of punishment or release has to be dealt with. Considering the crimes of secret societies, people in the FIRE business/ Banking , governments and common criminals and perverts I am sure there is no shortage of blood that needs to be spilt in the name of justice. What you should be worried about is the survival of the status quo and the elites being able to succeed with their plans for the world. That is an out come far worse than a culling of the criminals and perverts that operate above and below the law. Their goal is to get rid of 90 to 95 percent of mankind and enslave the survivors. If you don’t believe it do a search for the Georgia Guidestones and find out for yourself. It is written in stone like the 10 comandments.

    This LIEbor issue truley proves, as Max and Stacey have said for years now, that the 2008 fiasco was indeed a controlled take down in order to profit on the bets these firms took out against their own “assets” (loans to every serf in the world).

    @fllowpot.

    As a brother to all human beings. Do you think that anything is going to change if these psychopaths are left in their positions of power? They subvert, they corrupt for their own benefit. I wish there was some magic bullet. Some hero to come save us all. But the only reason these pricks get away with it all is because the people will not hold them personally acvountable for their actions. City of london has more blood on its hands than the catholic church and that’s saying something.

    Flopot executing criminals and perverts is not in any way murder or manslaughter.
    It is justice and pest control. Those that think otherwise are part of the problem.
    Also I am not some troll working for some political or financial organization either.
    I am a real austerity advocating ultra conservative and my patience with the modern world and its BS has limits. The so called austerity fascists Max and doctor Deagle complain about are Pikers next to me and I seriously doubt that they the so called austerity fascists know any thing about austerity or fascism and wouldn’t practice either if they had a chance to do so. The real problem in the world today is the application of satanic doctrines to politics, finance, religion , social and sexual matters. The result is the world as you all know it and the ultimate outcome will be hell on earth and the near extinction of mankind if it is not stopped and the perps brought to justice.

    @TJ and Rowlandson

    Fairplay to you guys for responding but it is a FACT that your policy would lead to the execution of innocents. For example, the UK would have the blood of dozens of innocent Irish people on its hands if the death penality had existed throughout the troubles.

    The question is really not what to do with the banksters but HOW to prosecute them in the first place. The lawmakers are in their pocket: these politcians do not have the political will to tackle the banksters. The MSM is also under corporate domination which is why Max always has to go ballastic on their asses.

    I’d love to be optimistic. I just don’t see any kind of solution. Im stacking gold and silver. Got a couple of guns and plenty of ammo. Got a garden producing some food and some land that is also producing. My advice is to stock up while the $$$ actually buy something real.

    STFU to all politicians. Lying cheating scum that you are.,,

    @Steven Rowlandson “Flopot executing criminals and perverts is not in any way murder or manslaughter. It is justice and pest control.”

    While I understand (and sympathize with) your point of view, don’t you think you might be being a tad lenient. Lock them up for life and put a web cam in their cell so all the people they’ve “raped” can watch what their new “boyfriend” does to them FOR THE REST OF THE UNNATURAL LIFE.

    Seems to fit the crime.

    Just want to put this out there. Shareholders of banking stocks are not to blame for all of this. It is the board of directors that are in breach of trust . Only they, set company policy. The CEO is just the public figure head and is only an employee of the corperation. You want to know who the rope should apply to it is anyone that sits on the board. As under trust law these are the persons that are responsible for activities that are undertaken buy said corperation.

    End

    Didn’t the Economist have reps at Bilderberg this year?

    Gardens and gold might not be enough. Start learning bush survival skills.

    @ stevenrowlandson, that mind set is the problem, kill people, will you do the act or will you have others kill for you.

    They are the ones that killed or made conditions that people died in, let them stand for there crimes, receive jail time, hard labor for what they did.

    Then you quote some stones in georgia, as if someone with a agenda is going to prevail, because its written in stone.

    So what happened to that groups Monument in DC, an earth quake put a crack in it, to let them know that what they want to happen is not going to.

    Why would a loving creator put forward a negative, like hell and punishment, it did not, that is a man made control and by killing another human you keep the control going.

    IF everyone was a non violent sheep, there would be no wolves, or predators of human flesh, then there would be no sheep dogs to move the herd in one direction or another, and there would be no sheep herder to own the sheep.

    If the sheep needed to be sheared then they would volunteer there wool.

    This service to self mindset, eye for an eye is insane.

    We can agree to disagree on whether it is foolish to think that the world will ever do this but I need to only do this myself, and if you could do this thats great, and is a start.

    Like the once Juden of poland that walked into the gas chambers to sacrifice there shell of a body refusing to kill to save there own skin, do you have that commitment?

    The nazi’s were defeated by this, how can one person with a gun lead 100 people to there deaths? I mean they could have ran away, living in fear of more pain and torture, how they must have spent each day, surviving this.

    So now it doesn’t even take that kind of thought to make people fear death, just use fear porn to remind them that there dignity is all about money, there value is measured by it.

    Will you kill to save that last piece of food for yourself, so that you can survive another day?

    I hope you find love and gratitude

    I doubt the UK Government will do anything whatsoever about these corrupt Bankers, since a couple of years ago, Directors of a business that about fifty people worked for (including myself), exploited the staff and acted illegally.

    Then, the same unscrupulous Directors simply used holes in Employment law to withhold staff wages and ultimately cheat employees out of the money that they had worked hard to earn ( full story here ).

    Despite Employment Tribunals agreeing that staff were treated badly, the High Court said that they are powerless to help because their is noting stopping this in law.

    Now, to rub salt in the wound, the local MP and Government officials simply dodge the issue by claiming that it is not in the public interest to do anything about this matter, whilst refusing to have the Directors struck off, failing to introduce new laws to outlaw these kinds of sharp practices, and not even bothering to call for an inquiry into this scandal.

    The Economist cover indicates the magazine has articles on price fixing banksters and on the apparent discovery of the Higgs boson particle. Very appropriate timing since the boson subatomic particle is sometimes called the “God particle” and the banksters who fixed the LIBOR interest rate (the basis for computing a vast number of consumer interest rates) considered themselves as Gods of finance. Down the line, you won’t need a scanning electron microscope to see the wolfpacks of lawyers when these lawyers attack Barclays Bank.
