(85,373 posts)28. Goldman Sachs' Global Coup D'etat
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/12996-goldman-sachs-global-coup-de-tat
When the people of Greece saw their democratically elected Prime Minister George Papandreou forced out of office in November of 2011 and replaced by an unelected Conservative technocrat, Lucas Papademos, most were unaware of the bigger picture of what was happening all around them.
Similarly, most of us in the United States were equally as ignorant when, in 2008, despite the switchboards at the US Capitol collapsing under the volume of phone calls from constituents urging a no vote, our elected representatives voted yes at the behest of Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulsen and jammed through the biggest bailout of Wall Street in our nations history.
But now, as the Bank of England, a key player in the ongoing Eurozone crisis, announces that former investment banker Mark Carney will be its new chief, we cant afford to ignore whats happening around the world.
Steadily and stealthily Goldman Sachs is carrying out a global coup detat.
