6. What seems particularly interesting - for those who are not scared to see
the naked Emperors/Masters of the Universe - face the Big Lie and see it for what it is: the Big Truth is that the banking moguls responsible for this emerging depression are, in the most technical, literal sense of the word, "recidivists"; "like a sow returning to its vomit". Well, a leopard doesn't change it's spots, and decent souls gradually, increasingly tire of constantly invigilating the congenital malefactors and forfending against their potential villainy.

But, there can be no excuse for the banking moguls looking the other way as the Ponzi-scheme juggernaut hurtled over the Gadarene cliff, even as they were filling their own private coffers with booty.

Not that it makes any difference in terms of the effecive impossibility of penal sanctions being imposed on them. They will, as always, get off scot free. Although financial penalties are at least a theoretical possibility. But the thing is, recognising the situation and its architects for what they are, a new start can be made once again - this time sincerely honouring Adam Smith's teachings, instead of merely honouring them with their lips, while mocking them in their actions.
