Absolute Must Read ⇒ The Big Takeover : Wall Street "Coup d'ETAT" !
Matt Taibi from Rolling Stones Magazine wrote an incredibly interesting version on what led us in the mess we're in.As a news junkie, i read at least 5 papers a day and never encoutered a comprehensive investigation's story like this even in the most prominent us news papers (Wall Street Journal, New York Times etc..I could only be left with questions about news papers'credibility, professionalism issues, or both.
It's over — we're officially, royally fucked. no empire can survive being rendered a permanent laughingstock, which is what happened as of a few weeks ago, when the buffoons who have been running things in this country finally went one step too far. It happened when Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was forced to admit that he was once again going to have to stuff billions of taxpayer dollars into a dying insurance giant called AIG, itself a profound symbol of our national decline — a corporation that got rich insuring the concrete and steel of American industry in the country's heyday, only to destroy itself chasing phantom fortunes at the Wall Street card tables, like a dissolute nobleman gambling away the family estate in the waning days of the British Empire.
