There's an online petition to jail crooked bankers. Perhaps it will have some impact on politicians and media outlets. There is a definite need for more accurate reporting on the banking situation with the mainstream media. Politicians don't really seem to listen to anything but money.

Put bankers behind bars
Posted: 10 July 2012
Big banks have been caught in a massive scam to rig global interest rates, ripping off millions of people on their mortgages, student loans and more! We'd go to jail for this, but Barclays bank has only been fined, and just a fraction of their profits! Outrage is mounting -- this is our chance to finally turn the tide of the banks' reign over our democracies.
The EU finance regulator, Michel Barnier is standing up to the powerful bank lobby and championing reform that would put bankers behind bars for fraud like this. If the EU goes first, accountability could quickly spread across the globe. But the banks are lobbying hard against it, and we need a massive surge of people power to drive these reforms through.
If we can get 1 million people to stand with Barnier in the next 3 days, it will give him momentum to face down the banking lobby and push governments to bring reform. Sign the petition, and our growing numbers will be represented by adding mock bankers to a jail right in front of the EU Parliament.
This petition is for arresting some bankers, but Barnier wants the European Council and European Commission to be united under one president! Sure, this president of the EU would be democratically elected by every nation's parliaments. But the last time european nations had a vote, they were told they were wrong in not wanting to join the EU (e.g, France, Holland, and Ireland) and that they should vote again until they got it right!
ReplyDeleteBeware! This Barnier looks like he is calling an audible straight from the Ordo ab Chao playbook if you ask me...
Why do you censor comments?
ReplyDeleteDon't you believe in free speech?
First of all I don't censor speech. I delete hateful speech. Censorship is when someone edits another's writing. I don't do that. But if something is blatantly hateful, or meant just to push people's buttons and get them angry I make no apology for deleting it.
DeleteBecause I get comments sometimes from Nazis who hate Jews and try to blame the banking stuff on Jews, when the whole banking problem is much bigger than any one ethnic group.
But a lot of good that did me, the JDL still sent me a threat.
This is my blog, I try to keep a certain civility and vibe to it. I don't delete many posts.
