The Financial Terrorism of Corporate Gangsters in the ‘Western World’

December 18, 2015
The Financial Terrorism of Corporate Gangsters in the ‘Western World’

by Stephen Martin


Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.

Don Lucchesi in Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather’



The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. They’re an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice! You have owners! They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they’ve got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They’ve got you by the balls.

George Carlin



One Bank to rule them all,

One Bank to find them,

One Bank to bring them all,

And in the darkness bind them.

Jeff Nielson



There a historically unprecedented level of deceit currently practised at level of ‘Hegemony’ much as would be made by racketeers of the ‘Western World’ as ‘Orthodoxy’ – such the ‘Freedom’ as become of ‘permit’ which would be universal, such the drive towards Globalization – and so, accordant the prescience of Orwell – Truth told in the ‘Western World’ become ‘revolutionary’ – as refutation of the ‘death of thought’?
