I think we better make a stink over Wolfowitz if appointed to World Bank..
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 11:45 PM by EC
I found this article and I think we are in deep shit:

<snip>

The US currency is managed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, itself comprised of twelve privately owned Federal Reserve Banks, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which in turn serves as depository for the US government bank accounts. The member banks that own and control the individual Federal Reserve Banks have received extraordinary credit and information subsidies through the governmental apparatus.

If you review a list of the leading banks in the Federal Reserve System that are involved as depositories, trustees, servicers or securities dealers in the US agencies missing more than $3.8 trillion:


It's the same banks whose names appear in allegations of gold market manipulations.<17>

It's the same banks whose engineered Enron offshore deals.<18>

It's the same banks implicated in 9/11 profiteering.<19>

It's the same banks implicated by the big narcotics and arms trafficking and money laundering allegations.<20> .

It's the same banks implicated directly or indirectly in the “pump and dump” and naked short selling stock market schemes.<21>

It's the same banks implicated in black budget government contracting and collateral schemes and the fraudulent asset stripping of our great manufacturing enterprises.<22>

It's the same banks that are managing the huge derivative positions that are increasingly used to manipulate markets and drive monetary and fiscal policy.<23>

It's the same banks whose senior management, attorneys and accountants cycle in and out of the top government jobs at the agencies missing $3.8 trillion.<24>

It's the same banks that tell you that small business loans are not good business.


a whole lot more-->http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0407/S00040.htm

2. Can we still elect Bono?
I, for one, would trust him more than any of the other bozos on the list.

4. Good, but I get the feeling
one's as bad as the other...it's time we pull our money out of all these large corps....individually, one at a time, each one of us, just stop banking, spending or borrowing from any of these world corps...
