The coming banking failure and wikileaks.
Edited on Thu Dec-30-10 11:21 AM by The Backlash Cometh
I was just wondering. We all assumed that the banking crisis was just the result of abject greed. What if there is an angle we didn't think about? What if it was all about financing strategic political organizations? For example, has anyone stopped to follow the money that televangelists collect? How much money do banks make when they refinance the churches? If the churches, or other companies and organizations that finance right-wing politics, begin to default, wouldn't that be a huge incentive to keep them afloat under the guise of a bailout? Wouldn't that be a reason why the banks pass on so many bonuses? Because they fulfilled their end of the bargain?

1. Stay tuned - if that is true it'll come out
The banks are slimy enough that they'll rat out their partners in crime. In a heartbeat.

No honor among thieves, ya know.

3. I wondering if such leaks will prove banks were in cahoots with the government...
Essentially calling the shots for US military involvement?

It would certainly go along with the "creeping fascism" that we've suspected for some time now...

4. Hmmm...
They are obviously hiding something big. Wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to negotiate with Assange to keep it covered up.

What if it turns out to be another Madoff type of swindle, only this one finances the right-wing way of life? Sort of Oliver North's dream come true?
