The world’s scariest story: trading in derivatives

Bad as these scandals are and vast as the money involved in them is by any normal standard, they are mere blips on the screen, compared to the risk that is still staring us in the face: the lack of transparency in derivative trading that now totals in notional amount more than $700 trillion. That is more than ten times the size of the entire world economy. Yet incredibly, we have little information about it or its implications for the financial strength of any of the big banks.

 In Russia, it is normal,

 In Russia, human nature, it is normal,

There, fixed it.

"COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS DESPOTISM"

And the solution?

But unfortunately Thomas Jefferson didn't anticipate the effectiveness with which the progressive state-establishment worshipers would pervert the mechanisms of the American "GENERAL PLAN" he proposed for educating and empowering the common people.

Russia is the end result of human nature under Communism.

Communism, Collectivism, Corporatism... is the result of human nature.

Thus, “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, [American] governments are instituted among men”.

Securing the inalienable rights of the Individual takes a lawful Republic, not the village mob.

The problem with your statement is the Russian people are not completely behind Putin. It us common knowledge that he has been voted out before and his time has also run out to be the leader in the first place. He basically just continues in his position by force. The people elected someone else and that guy gave his position to Putin because he knew he would be killed if he didn’t. The next election the same thing will happen watch. Putin is going to rule as long as he wants. There is no democracy in Russia and the majority of people there don’t like Putin.
