“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men,
they create for themselves in the course of time,
a legal system that authorizes it,
and a moral code that glorifies it.”
– Frederic Bastiat, The Law (1850)

The latest ‘investigative’ report informs us of incomprehensible losses of the retirement funds. This, big as it is, is only a fraction of the total losses in the banking meltdown.
Accountability is a concept in ethics and governance with several meanings, nevertheless none of these fit the cognitive climate.
Voodoo priests are currently hard at work stuffing history down the memory hole, their version is that none of this happened, others compare us to post colonial Africa, as we’ve been occupied in succession by: Denmark, UK, US, and the IMF.
Having successfully separated the peasants from their retirement money, the “gentry” wants the serfs to work until they drop, – not mentioning the simple fact that there isn’t work even for young slaves – regardless of how often they redefine the unemployment figures.
Loss of money is one thing but loss of identity is something else.

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.”

Repeat: “…a fundamental rethinking of economic theory”…. (a greater) “distribution of income”…(more) “regulation of financial companies”, “central banks need to do more to prevent lending and asset prices from expanding too fast”.
Are you kidding me? Read that passage again and I think you’ll agree with me that Strauss-Kahn had signed his own death warrant.
There’s not going to be any revolution at the IMF. That’s baloney. The institution was created with the clear intention of ripping people off and it’s done an impressive job in that regard. There’s not going to be any change of policy either. Why would there be? Have the bankers and corporate bilge-rats suddenly grown a conscience and decided to lend a helping hand to long-suffering humanity? Get real.
Strauss-Kahn broke ranks and ventured into no man’s land. That’s why he was set up and then crushed like a bug.
(Note: Strauss-Kahn has been replaced by the IMF’s number 2 guy, John Lipsky, former Vice Chairman of the JPMorgan Investment Bank. How’s that for “change you can believe in”?)

Selling citizenship is the latest Moral Hazard offered by Vulture Capitalists.
A group of Super Wealthy, Holy, and Wholesome foreign investors and hedge fund managers is offering easy salvation, they just want to bring loads of good money and they are definitely not coveting our natural resources, – they only want to create jobs – from the goodness of their heart.
They are all vetted by Lawyers and Kroll, and just want to bring their families (except for wives?) and become Icelanders, what else could we want?

Those with learning disabilities manifested by the Casino Mentality of latter days, confirm even at this late hour, that, the ‘meltdown’ was not confined to the banking sector.

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.

Well, he has done it again. Thank you mister president. We get to vote, but what about: Who, what, when, where, why, in what way, by what means and how?
By the way, this is the same president that aided and abetted the Latter-day Viking raids on the coasts around us (e.g. „You ain’t seen nothing yet“).
The “cheerleader” role of the president is given a whole chapter in the SIC Report (already forgotten) and the summarized lessons learned are:
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Are we to feel grateful for this opportunity to be made responsible for the Criminal Banking Cartel? Or just for knowing that we are damned whatever we do?
Taking into account the secret and classified preconditions for the agreement, the nonjailable class is asking the rabble to play Russian Roulette with a blindfold, but that’s their reptilian nature, they always operate under the Mask of Sanity.
And Sane it isn’t. Now that the whereabouts of the stolen Icesave money is known – ask the Deloitte London Office – return it, and stop this madness.
There is only this tiny snag, we are now told it was all perfectly “natural” and “legal”. The money was funneled to other Banks in the Global Cartel to pay for equally natural and legal loans. Propter hoc, the money accumulates in the (Jekyll Island) “System”. Ex post facto, the Perfect Crime for the Bankers, but we get to vote on it. Yay!
