Related: About this forumThe Biggest, Most Corrupt Bank Scheme That's Not Being Stopped
TheYoungTurks·Published on May 12, 2013
"Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game.
We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything."*
The Libor bank scandal has nothing on the newest interest rate swap manipulation scheme where bankers are going completely unchecked. This is a $379 trillion market-- why are bankers allowed to manipulate it without restraint? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
- So it turns out that both the hippies AND the conspiracy theorists were right.....

...is the Fed's collection agent. And since the Fed is not a federal agency, then neither is the IRS.
- Interesting, eh???

And, as the planet's ecosystem roils from our hubris, these yahoos care for nothing but their filthy lucre.

(27,137 posts)6. Actually I think they also enjoy......
...suppressing the masses as a side benefit for their pleasure. It reinforces their belief in their superiority over the members of the Outer Party dying to get in with them.
- And of course over we, the Proles whom they hardly think of at all.....

Thanks for posting!
- As for the hits:
''The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.'' ~Morpheus
Thanks, again!
