Just wow...
Somebody finally unraveled the national screwing of the middle class.
I'm going to have to re-read this a few times to absorb all of the ways somebody managed to run off with trillions$.

The next move, one would hope, is to follow the thread and deal with the culprits, however many they are, wherever they are.
I never really believed that it was possible to make a trillion$ disappear without leaving a trace.

Can we keep this thread going for a while? Remarkably, to this day there are many delusionary self-styled experts here on FR willing to dazzle us with the explanation that the means of perpetrating this monumental scam were simple tools of the trade that we mere mortals are just too dumb to grasp.

The necessary arrogance of the scam artist is still in play. But the victims are slowly awakening from their unconscious role as financial sheep.

I think what we are seeing is the Auric Goldfinger principle:

"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy ... Three times is enemy action."

Cheers!

The culprits are our ruling class. They are not going to accept being "dealt with".

I watched CSPAN the other night when they aired one of the hearings regarding the bailout and AIG bonuses. Congressman Darrell Issa is trying (against all Dim odds) to understand how it is that Timothy Geithner could not have been aware of the bonuses scheduled to be paid out -— essentially with taxpayer monies. Geithner is one corrupt little Timmy.

This is (I believe) about the third in-depth report about this subject that Matt Taiibi has written. They’ve all been informative and well-researched, irrespective of this politics.

I think one of them was my first post ever at FReepers and a lot of people wondered why a newbie’s first post was from Rolling Stone.

LOL
