Mobius Rabbitholes

TocqueDeville at Kos has noticed that CNBC has become quite the anti-Obama financial policy platform, including staging a bogus uprising against Obama's mortgage plan. Among other things.

...This rabbit hole involves the thugs surrounding Jim Cramer and some of the top financial "journalists" from the New York Times, WSJ, Fortune magazine and BusinessWeek, top hedge funds, the Mafia, and the DTCC. It also includes "blackmail, smear campaigns, espionage, fraud, harassment, extortion, bribery, rumor-mongering, sabotage, off-shore money laundering, political cronyism, frivolous lawsuits, witness tampering, biased financial research, false identities, bogus credit ratings, bribery, libelous blogs, bad science, forgery, wiretapping, counterfeiting, collusion, lying, cheating, threats and theft."

And if that wasn't fun enough, it may be the underlying story of what collapsed the entire, global banking system or at least served as the catalyst for the collapse...

It's always good to see the Oborg notice the world they live in.

Now, if they would only notice the other crowd of banksters that actually surrounds and guides policy for The One is the same crowd that surrounded and guided policy for Bu$hie in his final months at the behest of Poppy.

And they're making enemies.

The question is , do Chicago style banksters have Chicago style vendettas?

In the world of Bu$hCo, we saw internal struggles within the CIA that reflected the dissent within the Company. The repercussions of this internal war led to the Der Decider ignoring the pre-9-11 warnings, while propagating his own biases. The outing of Plame was part of a wider war for control.

That produced the Endless War in Iran, and screwed it up so bad Poppy had to knock Rummy out of the driver's seat with Gates.

Similarly, Paulson was sent in to manage the money once it became clear the Kewl Kids had drunk a little too much of their own Kool-Aid and actually believed their own cooked books. He didn't really solve anything, he only made things appear more solvent. Geithner's a similar sort of man doing a similar sort of thing.

In the world of the Oborg, we are seeing a similar factional dispute in the administration of economic policy. The One has no more real control of the Company's financial machine than Der Decider did of its war machine. What he does do is set the tone among the factions. Negotion instead of confrontation. Still, all those two-bit gangsters the Cheney administration elevated to positions of power and inflluence are now being discarded. Change has come, and the short changed, both the innocent and the shyster, are increasingly outraged.

The reality is, many of the banksters that profited under the old Bu$h smash-and-grab are real gangsters. Many are people who can't keep up with the New World Order they brought upon themselves. Many will do more than curse those who ride higher on the new wave of chaos they themselves propagated.

I believe the saying is: There Will Be Blood.
