Summer Show Trials

http://structuraleconissues.blogspot.com/

Get out your popcorn its going to be a very exciting summer once again with the start of another round of show trials on the docket. The media parrots are gearing up to parade their emotionally charged personas in front of the cameras while a group of managers and small ‘bit players’ are once again thrown to the wolves in order to protect the interests of the business elite. We among the general citizenry can once again believe that justice is being served while we curse at those scoundrels who orchestrated the entire hedge fund and mortgage frauds upon an unsuspecting global finance community.

Even those poor uninformed business elites (CEO’s, CFO’s, CTO’s, and business board members) were totally caught off guard by the actions of these sinister brilliant master minds. At Bear Stearns two former senior managers of 2 hedge funds were sending emails indicating that they knew that the funds where garbage back in the first quarter of 2007 – what a surprise to the business elite at Bear Stearns – at least the FBI arrested them swiftly after the taxpayers had the opportunity to pay out billions of dollars to give the company to J.P. Morgan. Remember the business operations at Bear Stearns couldn’t possibly have been questioned by the business elite because their jobs consisted mainly of plundering wealth from investors, not analyzing or questioning why so much wealth was being generated from ‘toxic debt’ – nothing more than worthless paper. Leaping with joy at the loot that was enriching them beyond belief these business elites knew all to well that they were beyond the law – they are the law since the government is theirs – so many ‘body snatched’ lobbyist bound government representatives one could easily lose count.

Meanwhile another group of untouchable business elites at firms like Countrywide operating in the shadowy nether land of mortgage trash collected handsome salaries and an endless potpourri of filthy cash – who would dare touch them - wasn’t that what the summer show trials were designed to do throw the gullible general citizenry some management ‘meat’ to gnaw on while the business elite escaped through the backdoor into the dark alley. True to custom the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) unveiled an ongoing awe inspiring investigation. This time they indicated that they had arrested 400 citizens charging them with mortgage fraud – the business elite once again continued to breath easily when these arrests were made – they were beyond the law – they are the law since the government is theirs - so many ‘body snatched’ lobbyist bound government representatives one could easily lose count.

It’s a wonderful development having these show trials divert the attention of the general citizenry from all the relevant problems that are a direct result of the business elite dominated industries like oil companies that are daily sucking the financial marrow out of our frail subsistence finances. We can once again focus on meaningless trials that end with legally annihilating the scapegoat managers and ‘second rate’ operators while the wheels of the convoluted and corrupt totalitarian economic society grind more of us into dust.

Time for the business elite to collect their endless bonuses; move into another position from which they can once again begin their thievery of the global citizenry. It’s good to be king or queen nothing will inhibit their desires not even a backup of desires like a toilet stopped up with more feces than it can swallow through its hole – the sewer of the system and the society that legitimates corruption, pillage, deception, and sheer evil fills once again - ready for another flush. Must get to the private jet – can’t miss cruising in the Caribbean – another corpulent business elite dreams of fulfilling his decadent greedy desires while his Swiss bank account accumulates dirty money overflowing its filthy sewage of corruption yet into another account standing at the ready to handle the slimy discharge.
