In fact, the
head of the European Central Bank itself, Mario Draghi, was the former managing
director of Goldman Sachs. It's widely
known that Goldman Sachs made the euro problem worse when it helped Greece hide
its debt back in 2002. As the DailyKos
described the scheme
Goldman is playing, "The normal scenario usually involves helping a nation
hide a problem and sell its debt until the problem blows up into a bubble that
bursts in a spectacular way. Goldman
Sachs then puts their 'man' into a position of power to direct the bailouts so
that Goldman gets all its money back and more, while the nation's economy gets
gutted simultaneously so as to get Goldman its money."
The same
thing has happened in the United States, as the last two Treasury Secretaries
came from Goldman Sachs, and Goldman made out like a bandit in the 2008 Wall
Street bailouts. Plain and simple, when
a bank the size of Goldman (G-S) can run the world, as America's fourth and
most powerful branch of government, American democracy is dying if not already
dead.
If all of
the top officers of G-S were simultaneously executed or killed by a terrorist
organization, G-S *might* reform, out of fear.
Otherwise, with no accountability of any kind, and with the top Capos expecting
the public worship them instead of knee-capping them, G-S will
continue to suck the life blood out of the global economy until there's nothing
left. Instead, Goldman's assets should simply
be seized as the loot taken by a criminal enterprise, and the top officers
arrested and held without bail under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as
terrorists.
