The future of news

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.

Gross negligence

Is Negligence a Subjective Evaluation?

“The accused is in this matter convicted for having with gross negligence failed to hold cabinet meetings on important administrative matters as prescribed in Article 17 of the Constitution, although he must have been clear of the danger, which loomed over the banking system and thus to state security, as specified above, with the consequence that those issues were not discussed at cabinet level”

“The conduct of the accused to fail to comply to the instructions of Article 17. in the Constitution to hold cabinet meetings on crucial policy issues, described above, was not only a breach of form, but it contributed to, that, on ministerial level no political strategy was adopted to deal with the complex problems that the accused had to be aware of in February, 2008. If such a policy had been formulated, and it followed in an orderly manner, including the Central Bank and Financial Supervisory Authority, it can be argued that it was feasible to reduce the damage left by the fall of the banks in October 2008. Furthermore, it is likely that the government had then been better prepared to evaluate the request from Glitnir bank for financial suport at the end of September 2008 such as to enable resolution to the problems of that bank in a more judicious manner than was the case. ”

“Accused, Geir Hilmar Haarde, is not rendered punishment in this case.”

The benefits from disconnecting the government (Win-win). In early 2008 insiders had ample opportunity to run with their money. No formal input was from other ministers (finance, banking etc), – thus other ministers “escaped” responsibility.

There is still no word on the reserve that went missing.

Crime Math could be an interesting video. Money and politics have been on display in the High Court of Impeachment. Dressed in an Armani(?) suit, supported by powerful political interests, lawyered up to the hilt, admired and defended by the obliging media. Nevertheless the cost to the society as a whole is incomprehensible.

Bikers have gained much prominence at the same time, dressed in an well recognizable manner, sparsely lawyered, hated by the police and the media. However, we can all understand the cost of their individual crimes, which by the way are only a tiny fraction caused by the Suits.

Daly we are told of the dangers to the rule of law if we prosecute Suits of prominence and if we show any leniency in prosecuting the leather and jeans. One solution suggested has been to ask Armani to mark their suits, similar to racing driver suits, with all the appropriate corporate logos – for our convenience, and Lady Justice, who’s blindness has been questioned.

Some go as far as talk about Class wars.

A Century of Conscious and Intelligent Manipulation

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.

We could empty our overcrowded prisons in a day if we used the same justice for all.

Corruption in a small society takes on a contracted form of mutual insurance.

It was said that all the players in the meltdown could fit into a restaurant, the difficulty is that so can the jurors of their peers

Learned Anything Yet?

William K. Black @ hammer.ucla.edu (90m)

In perception management terms, in our own and so very local (except where it isn’t) case, there is a subtle shift, fist we voted against IceSave 93%, but now we vote on the IceSave agreement which is a fine and professionally worked out agreement.

Can we be assured that “they” will never use our name and guaranties to swindle all of us again?

Have we been given the necessary information?
Are our representatives in control?
Is the Special Prosecutor paralyzed by analysis?
– Two years, 80 cases, 216 defendants, 600 interrogations – two charges.
Is the justice system able to take on it’s pairs and superiors?
Is there ongoing corruption, autocracy, despotism, nepotism, crony-ism?

Are the bankers already paying them-selfs exuberant salaries and bonuses?
Are “they” further privatizing our natural resources?
Are the same people buying/removing the remaining banks and other strategic businesses, aided by the politicians, and shielded by the entertainment industry (TV, press)?
Are the same people repeating the exact sorry story?

Is No, the only assurance we can give, that we will not pay for CEOs Welfare, the Perception Managed, Lobbied, Lawyered, Cut, Bailed, and Non-Jailable class.
