Yes its anything goes until January. They are going to get while the getting is good even if it means the total destruction of a once properous nation. For the super rich beyond measure, nationalism and patriotism ends at the front door.

Hedge fund mafia tactics are backed fully by the crooks and criminals in and around the White House just like the last time the Savings and Loan money was raided under Bush 1.

Yes they were bailed out
and McCAIN voted for the bail out as well as being involved in the savings and loan heist AKA the Keatin 5.


This latest BLATANT short selling robber baron game has not been played so openly since 1900.

In real life these guys don't look anything like the meglomaniac villians in the James Bond movies... they look like well dressed geriatrics. They dont even show up for meetings. They have their people represent their family interests. Well the Bilderburg meetings might be an exception.

They will not appear on the richest men in the world lists.
They are the owners of the 5 leading banks and more than half of all the value of Wall Street invesments. Hedge funds secrecy rivals that of Swill opps Swiss Banks.
Hedge fund managers are paid well to keep the secret but compared to the big 5, they are merely errand boys sent to fetch lunch.

They are in it for the money be it ,real estate, global wars, weapons, global drug sales and anything else that involves sums of money that most of us can not even imagine.

The Machiavellian tactics of the "Rich Beyond Measure" does in fact employ armies to take fortunes by force and to guard fortines by force. Where the goverment ends and the "RBM" begin is invisible.
For the RBM the CEO's of multinationals are but pawns and are rewarded too keep silent no matter how they perform.

The first decision by Chase Morgan who just "acquired" Bear Stearns and Country wide Mortage Co. was to give the last CEO of Country Wide a $10,000,000.00 BONUS. Thats is one nice diamond parachute.

There are a couple odd characters like Warren Buffet who just bought most of Bank of America but most of the big movers are invisible ghosts.


Their first rule.
They NEVER want to be a target or a celebrity and go to great lengths to avoid any media mention. Occaisionaly they have an upstart grandson who blabs a bit too much but 5 or 10 million dollars buys a lot of blind eye forgiveness from anyone close to the scene.

heric, As their apprehension of retalliation and civil unrest grows so does the deay of our privacy and the cancerous growth of domestic spying on every person who communicates. Yes they are scared despite their outrageous security measures.
They know all too well that even a king can be dispatched by a pauper.

Ask Greg Palast for the A list. It will not resemble the 100 richest list I assure you.
