1. Nice of the Swiss to NOW start caring where or how someone gets the money they put in their country

2. My thoughts exactly

I wonder how much pressure is being placed by the banksters considering the coming revelations regarding the industry.

Hmmmm. Release them now, Mr. Assange?

3. First they condemn you, then they discredit you, then they defund you....

The world collaborates to grind Julian Assange into the dust for exposing their lies.

4. Swiss banks. I wonder what there might be in there about our buddy Phil Gramm.

"Who's to blame for the biggest financial catastrophe of our time? There are plenty of culprits, but one candidate for lead perp is former Sen. Phil Gramm. Eight years ago, as part of a decades-long anti-regulatory crusade, Gramm pulled a sly legislative maneuver that greased the way to the multibillion-dollar subprime meltdown. Yet has Gramm been banished from the corridors of power? Reviled as the villain who bankrupted Middle America? Hardly. Now a well-paid executive at a Swiss bank, Gramm cochairs Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign and advises the Republican candidate on economic matters."
