And Now for the News that Matters
After all, having a 200lb issue that “matters” hanging under his nose for over a month now must be taking a toll as he strains to look every which way to avoid it.
The issue, of course, is Andrew Maguire’s disclosure of systemic fraud perpetrated by the usual suspect banksters in the gold and silver futures market.
Now Peston will need to redouble his efforts in looking the other way as the SEC probes six major Wall Street banks for evidence they “mislead investors”. Not that anyone needs any further evidence to notice the jumbo neon sign at the summit of a mountain of corruption blinking, “Bloody Obvious!”
The list of guilty parties, let’s dispense with pretentious words such as alleged considering we are talking about the same old gang, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, UBS AG, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc reads like roll call at a mobster’s convention and indeed it is.
This malignant and execrable cabal that has hijacked the global economy and looted trillions from humanity will now deploy a steaming horde of the world’s most unscrupulous ambulance chasers to defend their spray-on honour. And of course they’ll prevail because that’s just how it works in these enlightened times.
Gatekeepers like Robert Peston who apologise for gangsters like Goldman Sachs inflict a terrible harm on our society in addition to the fundamental toll caused by the great banking scam. Consider the sight of half the population of the western world wandering around in a delusional state worshipping new heroes like Obama or the cynical “change” coalition spewed up by the UK election. How were these people so thoroughly misled and for such a sustained period of time?
That’s correct, they have been listening to worm-tongues like Robert Peston.
Most of us don’t even suspect the nature of the problems we face, it appears. People like Peston are afforded gravity and authority rather than being laughed and then angrily chased out of the room. Little surprise the banksters can pull off daylight robbery.
The victims of the mass media all worry how the privileged hens shall be aligned in the coup whilst the fox walks through them taking bites from each. We all have to take the pain, advise the banksters’ political and media friends. Nobody must ever mention the fox.
Getting back to the terribly troublesome Andrew Maguire, I suppose he’d be a post apocalyptic Chicken Licken rushing around the silly old hens warning them the sky had long fallen and the heavens were on the way down too.
Cluck, cluck, cluck says Peston as he forces another dose of conventional wisdom from his overtaxed and swollen rectum. Bonds will hold up, the hedge funds are secure, house prices are improving, the recovery is surging ahead, it’s a boom, it’s a bust, treat all the symptoms but never admit to the cancer.
Even so, he won’t be able to forever distract you from the teeth sinking into your groin. “Peston Shocker – The Banks are Corrupt! Who could have known?”
There’s a huge and long running global scandal exploding around our ears yet for now Peston remains confident of the mainstream machine’s ability to airbrush it all away. When will he realise that closing his eyes won’t make Andrew Maguire or the record of the banksters disappear?
We need a better media, a media that informs and acts as a warning when the powerful exceed the bounds of their already lavish entitlement. We need a media that doesn’t entertain the likes of Robert Peston.
And it’s not just Peston but all the gatekeepers who examine the dots but studiously fail to connect them. These hacks and repeaters are detrimental to an informed public that would be a genuine antidote to the corrupt political system and global criminal corporate network. We need to make them invisible rather than the whistleblowers.
That would be a change worth getting excited about.
