"Governments don't rule the world; Goldman Sachs rules the world."
Whoever rules the world, their ruling is only possible due to government monopoly. Goldman Sachs doesnt threaten me, does not steal from me. It may profit from government collusion but it is ultimately government that enables this not the other way around. Government is constant in all of this.
It's on the blog...
Alessio Rastani is the UK trader interviewed on the BBC who said many uncomfortably true things, which is uncharacteristic on television. Apparently, many people thought he was a fake that somehow managed to get on television. Forbes rang him up for an interview, and asked him a series of questions to test his authenticity. The results are here. Let’s just say that he seems to pass just fine.
Isn't this ironic? If you have somebody on TV (or on the newspaper) who doesn't go by the party line he must be a fraud. Is the BBC (or any other news outlet) there to simply provide information or to ram down people's throat the fact we "live in the best possible world" (my mother still calls any newspaper "Pangloss Special") due to our magnificent leaders? I say ironic because hardly a week passes without the BBC running programs about Hitler and his cronies...
Finally an advice to Mr Rastani. Get out of the New Soviet Union quickly. You belong to a category that soon will be given a summary process (and perhaps a little Cultural Revolution style humilation), a bullet in the head and a shallow grave. You are a speculator and your kind is trying to sabotage the Revolution because of your petty bourgeoise interests. And we know how the Party deals with saboteurs...
