I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. But I finally found something I think is very worthwhile.
The clip on this page is from the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. In this episode (I think it’s dated Dec. 9th) he interviewed a journalist named Matt Taibbi about investment banking firm (I think they’re a regular bank now) Goldman Sachs and their involvement in the destruction of this nation’s economy.
Truth be told, this economy was already in trouble given its complete reliance on interest and fake wealth (electronic and paper money).
But Matt Taibbi shows just how far Goldman Sachs has gone to accumulate enormous sums of wealth at the expense of average people.
Mr. Taibbi posits that Goldman Sachs was responsible for the Tech Bubble of the 90′s, the housing bubble of the late 2000′s, and the commodities bubble (yeah, I didn’t hear about it either before today) of last year.
And they profited grandly of the creation, rise, and burst of all of those bubbles.
If you’re really want to spend about twenty minutes reading a great article, I’d suggest you read his full report in Rolling Stones Magazine.
What does all of this have to do with this blog’s title? Not much. Except this sh** could never have happened under Islamic law, or Shariah!
Hey, I had to make to make a connection somehow.
