Wall Street's "Secret Government"

Post by Egg » Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:14 am

We now have concrete evidence that Wall Street and Washington are running a secret government far removed from the democratic process. Through a freedom of information request by Bloomberg News, the public now has access to over 29,000 pages of Fed documents and 21,000 additional Fed transactions that were deliberately hidden, and for good reason. (See here and here.)
These documents show how top government officials willfully concealed from Congress and the public the true extent of the 2008-’09 bailouts that enriched the few and enhanced the interests of giant Wall Streets firms.

Why do you suppose that is?

Media complicity?

One is immediate and understandable, the other is too large for them to fathom.

No doubt. The problem with fiat money is that you give other people the right to create it.
