I am shocked that bureaucrats have no knowledge of the free market. They do however know how to skim money for themselves.

Anything that begins with the words “United Nations” ought to stand without comment anyhow. (The IMF was born out of the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference of 1944. Poisoned thinking such as that out of Keynes certainly influenced its direction.)

No. It was a setup to put Christine Lagarde in charge of the IMF.

She worked as a labor lawyer in Chicago along with - are you ready? - Eric Holder.

The USA should walk away from the UN and its various tentacles and watch it collapse from afar.

“...Oh, how they mocked...”

It’s getting more difficult by the day to not feel paranoid, that most things aren’t part of a conspiracy. But Hell, I can’t help it, and this scenario is a great example.

I never believed in conspiracies before researching BHO2. I do now.

No, the USA has to kill it since it created it in the first place, in a Frankensteinesque fit of liberal folly.

LOL... If the other person is already that close behind you, probably whether the soap on the floor is a trap or not shouldn't have mattered at all...

Am thinking once upon a time was told its name was the system. One could fight it or join it. Joining meant corruption and the acceptance thereof, fighting it meant certain there would be a loss, and it would not be a loss to the system.

Scary thoughts, once stated in a long ago conversation in a far away time and another place not of this world.

Where power and money are at stake, there are no accidents. And when there are, they are quickly exploited for advantage.

I'm right there with you, SatinDoll. Have you seen THIS? Wolf to Leave UBS to Form New Firm (Obama bundler, golf buddy booted from Swiss bank...)

They must have recently sprouted. He must have seen these problems 10 or even 15 (maybe 20) years ago, and did nothing until now.

Whistleblowers are not treated kindly. He'll probably never find another job outside of fast food.

not to butt in, but...

Wolf to Leave UBS to Form New Firm

now that Jon Corzine's out of commission, there needs to be a vehicle to launder funds for the regime.

You're not "butting in". I'm glad you posted your comment because you brought up something I didn't even consider. I think you're right about the laundering.

Oh! I hadn’t thought about that, but you’re both probably correct.

Much as I really hate to think that anyone is dishonest and corrupt, in today’s business environment that’s
wishful thinking on my part.
