Fellas, this ain't a happy article. Read and weep. Our "Friends" From Goldman Sachs: By Marc Roche ~ published in French newspaper "Le Monde" on 16/11/'11 Guys,... Is there some way -- other than outright revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat -- to limit the influence of these big financial institutions?! The financial sector reminds me of my older brother: you give them a hand, and they end-up taking an arm.
It's from PressEurop -- which takes the best from European press and translates it into 10 languages, which are German, Dutch, French, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Czech and English. I've got PressEurope in my "Favorites" map.
Nothing here that informed people have not known about for some time . It is far too late to start bleating about possible conspiracies , imo . These people are the only ones that can save the whole planet from huge shifts of long term power and appalling economic woes in the short term . All my money has been against them as I took the view three years ago that what is now happening was certain to and that Contrarian Investments would succeed. Regardless , and without the power elite working with each other , the world is as certain to go into the deepest ever Depression as the Sun is certainly going to rise tomorrow . The power elite could be play acting and are actually cleverly supporting a Contrarian end game without the masses ever realising . So they have you all by the proverbial . With them , you might pull through . Without them , there is no chance whatsoever . Pulling them down from frustration , anger or even hate is tantamount to deliberate suicide .
On the other hand, if we could actually trust the European politicians not to be corrupted by these people (which is actually the root cause), we could prevent it. The problem is that when an entity becomes too large, as in the US and EU, the mecanisms for controlling the entity and the people charged with looking after the entity become so complex that they either do not work, or they are easily corrupted for self-interest, or produce a massive bureaucracy and self-serving. We can already see that small entities such as Sweden, NL, Belgium, Australia, NZ are better at serving their people than the larger entities. So why would we screw that up ?
