He makes an interesting point. Is it really that GE is a badly run company or is it that the financial markets have a flaw that allow corporations to be executed through no fault of their own?

Allow me to point out that that isn’t Capitalism. It’s fascism.

It's just going to create a job market for printing press technicians to keep the dollars flowing and law enforcement to hold the public at bay.

“In a letter this week, GES Immelt told shareholders that current events present an opportunity of a lifetime, because capitalism will be reset.
Immelt wrote: The interaction between government and business will change forever. In a reset economy, the government will be a regulator; and also an industry policy champion, a financier, and a key partner.”
Mr. Immelt should be hung for treason! Socialist/marxist pig!

Close. It’s traditional name was “national socialism.”
It was very, very good to certain well-connected companies.

Politics is all about the money, they are all stealing for one another to the tune of trillions. All legal, of course.

No wonder Chris Matthews tingle up his leg at MSNBC. Obama will control NBC, MSNBC and CNBC while the others follow along including Saudia-Fox.

I think Denninger is concerned about manipulation to take down viable companies. There could be no stopping this without a takedown of the corporate economy, if true and if not addressed by zerO’s team. Which is either inept, or complicit.

Call it whatever you are comfortable with, but don’t call it capitalism. That was my point.

I am praying that GE fails and fails big! These people are part of a plan to destroy our entire country with this globul warming hoax! He basically admits in the snipet that he is promoting the marxist take-over of our country and plans to profit from it.
