The situation here is as pathetic after the meltdown as it was before. The media is owned by a postbox on Cayman, sustained by a dame who inherited the nations fish stocks, and edited by a master crash-man. It is understandable, that reporters do not bite the hand that feeds them, but even the state-factory’s mantra was all through the impeachment proceedings, – the former PM is ohh! so innocent. – Surprisingly the court did not agree.
Lost currency reserve? What, where? Offshore kronas are said to be the greatest single threat, asking for ownership or even Tobin tax is in bad taste, so is asking about transfer pricing. Every sperm is sacred.
François Hollande, said that they were dealing with a faceless money power, but then he would. “They” do have a name, face, and address, but “they” just love their impunity, privacy and bank secrecy.
After successfull removal of the FSA’s Director, the undermining of the Special Prosecutor is in progress, this too does not warrant any attention.
Even the new constitutional draft takes money out of reach for the people, so continues the legalization of private profit and public loss.
The postbox on Cayman has now revealed it’s preferred presidential candidates.

The year 2012 will be interesting. The usual coalition of money, politics and propaganda will fight for their privileges to: not follow any rules, to not bear any responsibility and never ever admit mistakes.

The bank is to “precious” to fail.
The bank makes a sure bet because a 3rd party, “your” government, pays the losses.
If you woted you are responsible for “your” government.
If you didn wote it’s your own fault.

Not a day passes without our minders telling us about our true benefactors, those who come baring investor gifts: jobs, development and yes financial growth – all this at no cost to us – Hallelujah.
Somehow our narcissistic media missed this insignificant and ‘slanderous’ report.
“From Kazakhstan to Australia, taking in the views of Zambia, war-stricken Congo and Angola, cutting across from Siberia to Iceland is a network of mining and metals companies with a catalogue of environmental and community abuse in their wake. In Iceland its face is Century Aluminum, but behind them, at the heart of this web lies the secretive commodity broker Glencore International of Switzerland.”
“The importance of commodity markets has been intensified by the 2008 financial crisis. From 2003 to 2008, the commodities future market grew 1900%, from $13Bn to $318Bn55. Part of this is a shift out of stocks and shares to capitalise on increased growth in China and on natural disasters, which are helping push up the prices of basics. Brokerages such as Glencore make their money from trading on shortages” … “Rather than deal on the open markets, the main business deals are done in private, away from scrutiny.”
