So,
The mafioso president at the World Bank has stepped down and the rumor goin' 'round is that Hillary Clinton is going to get the job. Her people are denying the rumor which is political speak for, "Hillary Clinton wants the job but needs a referral from the Great and Powerful Oz and isn't sure she's going to get it." If she acts too confident and the job goes to someone that is better at sucking the cocks of the 1%, she could lose face.
Is that possible?
Seems like getting a 1% facial is the height of losing face.
A couple of months ago, the vice president of the EU bank gets appointed to be the prime minister of Greece. In true political nature, prime minister Lucas Papedemos had this to say about his appointed subjects setting fire to Athens, "Violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country."
I suppose the obvious question is, "What does your statement have to do with the fires in Greece?"
Speaking of pretend democracies, I read an article tonight about Chicago Gangster Mayor Rahm Emanuel getting ready for the G8 summit. In a new "law", Emanuel can purchase stuff without the city council's approval and without submitting the purchase for bids. He can choose the person that offers the most in bribes and award contracts to that person. Handy, n'est pas? He has used this new power to buy new helmets for the police with face shields designed to allow officers to wear gas masks.
So they can't smell the stank of corruption?
Do they make gas masks that strong? Might I suggest SCBA's?
Additionally, there will be aerial surveillance and snipers in place to deal with anything remotely looking like democracy.
Snipers are harder to catch on video.
The whole world is wat . . . BANG!
Back to the theme of this post . . .
It has gotten to the point where the parts between Wall Street and other large corporations are interchangeable with politicians. It's like watching tag-team wrestling.
"Z-Man Zoellick reaches out and tags up with Battle Kat Klinton who takes Blankfein's dick out of her mouth and jumps in the ring."
Can you smell what the crock is cooking?
In the near future, it's going to be like watching hockey. If a politician gets tired of Occupy Wall Street doing mic checks on him, he'll just head for Goldman Sachs in the middle of his term and someone from Goldman Sachs will jump the barrier and take over for him. Like Papedemos, they won't wait for the next election, they'll just appoint senators to seats and call it democracy.
Will there be fires in Chicago?
Violence and destruction have no place in a demo . . . BANG!
Speaking of Chicago-style politics, Obama came down hard on the big five banks who have to pay about $40 billion in a settlement for foreclosing on people illegally.
See? He's not Wall Street's bitch after all!
Wait for it.
As part of the settlement agreement, the banks can use tax payer money to pay the settlement. The home owners lost their homes illegally to the banks and if they still have a job, they have to pay the settlement for the banks. As good as I am with words, I really can't think of anything strong enough to describe how truly evil the 1% and their bitch puppet president are.
Not that the 1% care in the least what I, or anyone else, thinks of them or their parasitic spokesperson. If the people get tired of Obama, the 1% will just sub in someone else.
