Eliot Spitzer: The LIBOR SCANDAL

[Segami]

1. I can only hope

that Obama will be the president we all expected him to be his second term, not having to worry about being re-elected again. Reigning in Wall Street will create a lot of enemies with unfathomable amounts of cash.

2. LIBOR=LIE MORE

These freakin' crooks gotta hear the clank of the jail cell and make sure the other crooks see it...you know that these other megacrooks just might curb their rank act, so they won't be the next doin' da perb walk.

3. How can justice be inflicted on these banksters?

They simply buy governments and purchase legislation to make their crimes legal. Can't bust them if their stealing is perfectly legal.

Here's a meme I heard on the internets -

If Nixon committed a Watergate caliber crime today he'd have nothing to worry about. Because all his 1972 era crimes are legal in this present day. BOY OH BOY, does THAT need MASSIVE FACT CHECKING!

We do have a hell of a lot of "If the President does it, it's not illegal" precedences from the eight dark GWB years. Obama being able to assassinate anybody on earth he wants without any form of due process is proof of that!

7. Finally. When even the super-rich are being ripped off by the banksters, they are going

to push back.

A major issue is whether the politician office holders who are auditioning for more opportunities with the super-rich after they leave office will continue to choose the side of the banksters or will not choose the side of the other super-rich.

Anyone who believes that any political office holder is a populist who is just waiting to emerge as a populist, instead of being someone who is looking out for their own interest and responding to the super-rich, is disregarding history and the obserable facts of how such office holders have reacted in the immediate past.

We have corruption on a massive scale. At best, we can hope that a sufficient number of politician office holders will choose to represent the interest of the super-rich who have been ripped off by the banksters.

8. You are correct, Sir!

"Finally. When even the super-rich are being ripped off by the banksters, they are going to push back."

Why is Bernie Madoff rotting in jail while others that routinely commit EQUALLY HEINOUS CRIMES are walking free in positions to give themselves lavish bonuses?

Simple - Bernie stole from the rich. If he stole from THE LITTLE PEOPLE, like most Wall Street Captains of Industry, he'd still be a free man.
