Markets
Not to big to jail
The Supreme Court Verdict in the Al-Thani case:
“The market manipulation is said meticulously planned, committed by a focused intent and unusually reckless and disregarded.”

Furthermore, the market manipulation directed “against the public and financial markets in the country as a whole and the damage that resulted directly and indirectly, can not be measured in money.”

Now, the infinite wisdom of hillbilly’s is to provide China with 300 square km of land* for a new airbase in Europe, sorry my mistake a luxury hotel and an eco-spa.
The gospel of “foreign investment” and “jobs” sounds loud and clear from the corporate propaganda industry, with nationalism and conspiracy thrown in for the infidel’s. Yes we used to provide prostitutes to the beloved but forgone American airbase. And some privileged people used to live of the American taxpayer.
Who hoards, with greed that never tires?
It is heartwarming to see the Social Democrats of both sexes, having so heartily embraced the neoclassical Vision, sorry The Nordic Model (my bad).
The ‘Kissing Cousins’ syndrome may explain the superior moral aptitude. However, others say that the best stock left the country in 1870-1914, leaving only bankers, politicians, middlemen, and telephone sanitizers.
