    Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    This stuff is piss funny. Of COURSE the mongrels are taking over, it's been common knowledge for ages.

    Just don't expect anyone do jack about it.

    The biggest take over in modern history happening right before everyone's eyes and no one gives a damn.

    Gotta love it.... eh baaaaa brothers?

    Look at almost every single US secretary of the treasury, 99% worked for Goldman Sachs at one stage

    They have huge influence as part of the banking cartel

    lol lol lol. Do we really believe the global power elite would be revealed for all to see by a corporate mainstream rag like the telegraph? That bank is simply a tool, like John Howard was a tool, like westpac is a tool. The names of these people behind the corporate takeover of the world will never appear in the mass media, and who cares anyway?

    Crying that the world is not fair, that we are being oppressed and robbed, this is the cry of a weakling. Someone who has never stood up for themselves and taken responsibility for their own life. Always playing by the rules of some politician, some police department or some employer, they expect in return to be rewarded and protected. When they are not they cry "unfair unfair" They are always unsatisfied and vote for more from someone else at the next election. They are like a mouse on a treadmill as they play the stupid game their masters devised for them for another 4 years. Pathetic!

    Don't worry, we don't miss out.

    Arthur Sinodinos (The man behind John Howard), Malcolm Turnbull.
    Goldman Sachs devising things like Carbon Taxes and NBN.
    Stephen Fitzgerald (Future Fund Board of Guardians).
    Advising NSW Gov how to sell its Desalination Plant.
    Advising NSW Treasury on how to sell Lotto.

    I suppose it goes on and on.

    When were there not assholes in charge? My parents have been voting for over 40 years and every time it's been "we just need to get someone good in". I'd given up on democracy after the first couple of elections and haven't voted in over a decade. It was a choice of "gee, I can have the asshole on the left order me around or the asshole on the right order me around and there is no option to have no-one order me around". F**k that and f**k them.

    So let's say that GS are in charge(overtly or covertly) for arguments sake. So what? You think getting rid of them means you'll get someone good in to replace them who'll look after you?

    It's a shell game.

    The classic article that exposed GS to the masses.

    Read on and weep.
    These people are scum of the earth, without souls and without a hope of redemption.

    My sentiment exactly so why would anyone put any money into equities. A whole generation of baby boomers (not this little duck) have seen their retirement plans go down the gurgler because of these scum.

    If you treat the share market as nothing more than gambling with money you can afford to lose, fair enough. Fools and their money invested in the share market are efficiently dealt with.

    Some people are professional gamblers also called Quants and they mostly can make money on the sharemarket except for a disasterous period in late 2008- early 2009.

    The majority of small "investors" have little or no mathematical ability and are really better compared to the punters at the TAB:lol:

    Kind Regards

    seems to me the property speculators are what brought everything else down. those over leveraged banksters funded the speculators and blew a huge property bubble till it burst under its own weight.
