Vietnam is sentencing corrupt bankers to death, by firing squad

That's why there wasn't the slightest hint of genuine ramifications for those rogues in the financial sector that precipitated the GFC. Because "corrupt banker" is a psuedonym "politician" in the U.S.

*Do you remember the TARP bailout?  The American people were absolutely outraged that the federal government spent 700 billion dollars bailing out the “too big to fail” banks.

Well, that bailout needs to be added to what the Federal Reserve did.  As you will see documented below, the Federal Reserve actually handed more than 16 trillion dollars in nearly interest-free money to the “too big to fail” banks between 2007 and 2010.

I was somewhat alarmed to find out just now that of the Federal Reserve's, 7 member board of governers. There are currently only 4 sitting members, 3 of whom are Jewish and 2 of whom retain dual citizenship.(U.S. and Israeli).

In Australia at the moment there is a bit of political ruckus going on as a number of federal politicians have been forced to step down upon the revelation that they are in fact dual passport holders....Aus/Kiwi, Aus/Canadian, Aus/Italian. The obvious reason that represents an issue is the question of divided loyalties.

In that sense I'm quite staggered (though not completely shocked) that the power base which presides over one of the most influential mechanisms in the world would be subject to what amounts to the very same conflict of interest.

These people don't want to see bankers being subject to legitimate scrtuntiy and genuine ramifications because all of the sudden their dealings are thrust into the spotlight.
