Goldman Sachs fingerprints are all over the massive economic meltdown crime scene and subsequent bailout of Wall Street and Mike Morgan has dared to tell the truth in his interview with Mike Whitney which just may be the pebble of truth that brings Goldman to its knees: Allen L Roland
As Schopenhauer once wrote the Truth always passes through three stages ~ First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed and Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
But first the truth must be shot, like an arrow, on its flight and if it has merit ~ many other hands will guide it towards its target which in this case is Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is the definitive financial GOLIATH and registered investment advisor and blogger Mike Morgan is the diminutive DAVID ~ who is extremely critical of Goldman Sachs, its board members and its practices and is more than willing to take on Goldman with his truth. Goldman's feathers have been more than ruffled and has threatened Morgan with legal action.
However, Goldman Sachs fingerprints are all over this recent massive economic meltdown crime scene and there are still too many obvious clues and too little truth and transparency. So Morgan knowingly fingers the usual suspects like Goldman's Henry Paulson, the SEC's Christopher Cox and confirms the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform as well as its stranglehold on the political process.
Now the highly respected Mike Whitney, Counterpunch, jumps on board by interviewing Mike Morgan and asks the obvious question:
Why is Goldman Sachs So Scared of Mike Morgan?
By MIKE WHITNEY http://www.counterpunch.org/whitney04142009.html
Mike Morgan is a registered investment adviser and a scrappy shoot-from-the-hip guy who doesn't mince his words. Recently Morgan has come under fire from Investment Banker Giant Goldman Sachs ~ for his hard-hitting web site Facts about Goldman Sachs according to the U.K. Telegraph;
"Goldman Sachs is attempting to shut down a dissident blogger who is extremely critical of the investment bank, its board members and its practices. The bank has instructed Wall Street law firm Chadbourne & Parke to pursue blogger Mike Morgan, warning him in a recent cease-and-desist letter that he may face legal action if he does not close down his website.
According to Chadbourne & Parke's letter, dated April 8, the bank is rattled because the site "violates several of Goldman Sachs' intellectual property rights" and also "implies a relationship" with the bank itself.
Unsurprisingly for a man who has conjoined the bank's name with the Number of the Beast ~ although he jokingly points out that 666 was also the S&P500's bear-market bottom ~ Mr Morgan is unlikely to go down without a fight. He claims he has followed all legal requirements to own and operate the website – and that the header of the site clearly states that the content has not been approved by the bank.
On a special section of his blog entitled "Goldman Sachs vs. Mike Morgan" he predicts that the fight will probably end up in court.
"It's just another example of how a bully like Goldman Sachs tries to throw their weight around," he writes." (UK Telegraph)
