Helping out the banks.

After the Wall St crash of 1929 (which was a premeditated scam btw) ...

safeguards were put in place to ensure such a thing could never happen again ...

... until they were removed by the Bush administration ! (kinda similar to taking the brakes off your car ... what did they think would happen ?)

A financial 9/11 .... take the brakes of the market, scares & panics ensue, share prices fall, top executives get huge payouts to disappear into the sunset, .... people panic & demand action ...... Governments can now snap up the highly devalued shares & obtain a majority shareholding in the banks. Public breathes a sigh of relief ...

Lots of banks .... one owner !!!

Work out the potential pitfalls in that for yourself ... be afraid .... be very afraid !

(btw did anyone else notice it's a G7 again ?)

... spoke too soon .... it's the G8 again !!!

and now the IMF is being "rebuilt" ...

Just because something's a theory doesn't mean it ain't so...

I've been watching for this to happen since the 70s. The one world money system is inevitable. Just interesting watching it all unfold.

They should all have been allowed to collapse, everything would have gone to hell much sooner and resolved sooner.
Wonder why fuel prices have taken a nose dive at the same time and suddenly the dollar is much stronger. Wish i knew who the people are that really run this planet, then the revolution could begin.

What's all this nonsense about RBS executives getting astronomical "performance bonuses". For what? Bringing the bank to a state of collapse? RBS states that they are contractually obliged to pay these leeches this money. I would ask "Why"?. These pampered individuals and their like have ruined the financial system, (of which they were probably to a great extent the architects), and still expect to receive at least six-figure sums for effectively ruining the country. Is the management of this organisation completely bonkers? This bank only remains trading because we gave them 20 billion, and the arrogance of RBS is unbelievable. When the taxpayer has to help a bank out, the goalposts shift, and any contractual obligations need to be revised in view of the fact that they are not "dishing out" their own money.

Tonight on the news the Treasury has ordered an investigation into bonuses for bank executives. Let's hope that it moves quickly before RBS shares out our money to these already highly remunerated parasites. :evil:

And let's hope, against experience, that it's not another whitewash! :evil:

I saw in the papers today that Obama is limiting the amount of money Bankers in the USA can be paid.
That should happen here.

The banks should be stormed.

What a waste of time were today's apologies from the estwhile bosses of HBOS and RBS. They are walking away from these jobs having done for the banking industry what Harold Shipman did for the medical profession.

Even if they never get another job, they'll hardly be retiring in penury, unlike many of the bank customers whose businesses they have helped to ruin.

if all those unemployed lazy gits got a job none of this would be heppnin,yes they could take over from the bankers who used to run the show.the ones who dont even have any banking qualifications.thats right they have no experience of running banks yet they were given the job.ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you couldnt make it up.
we have let these idiots take over the country,but no one has the balls to stand up and say enough is enough,oh god wheres my crack pipe? :evil:

It's truly amazing that to get an ordinary job you need to have qualifications and experience, yet if you want to get a top job you need sweet Fanny Adams.

The results are there for us to see.

Incidentally, for anyone who is interested here is a link to the online petition against RBS paying out bonuses:

If people really feel that strongly about RBS paying out massive amounts of money in bonuses then perhaps they should consider moving their accounts to another bank? Wouldn't that send a more tangible message to the bank's executives?

Aye - send it to Loyds :lol:
