Karno's Rare-Because-He-Never-Has-Time Blather:
An old crony of mine has advised me it does little good to rant against the evil oligarchs ruining our country in general and our lives in particular, if you don't name names. Well, here they are:
https://www.gregpalast.com/larry-su.....end-game-memo/
A quote: "In 2013, a little birdy dropped a highly confidential note written to Summers from his flunky, Timothy Geithner, then Assistant Secretary (International Affairs) to the World Trade Organization. Its content was so explosive, so sick and plain evil, I just could barely believe it.
The scheme revealed in the note was breathtaking: complete deregulation of the WORLDWIDE banking system.
The End Game Memo confirmed every conspiracy freak’s fantasy that top US Treasury officials secretly joined up with a cabal of banker big-shots to rip apart financial regulation across the planet.
Geithner wrote to then-Deputy Secretary Summers,
“As we enter the end-game of the WTO financial services negotiations, I believe it would be a good idea for you to touch base with the CEOs.”
To avoid Summers having to call Geithner to get the phone numbers (which, under US law, would have to appear on public logs), Geithner listed their private lines. And here they are:
Goldman Sachs: John Corzine (212)902-8281
Merrill Lynch: David Kamanski (212)449-6868
Bank of America, David Coulter (415)622-2255
Citibank: John Reed (212)559-XXXX
Chase Manhattan: Walter Shipley (212)270-1380
CEO Reed at Citigroup picked up our call, but when it wasn’t Larry on the line, he hung up. Other numbers were changed.
Most important, the banker-Treasury lock-up succeeded beyond imagination."
This looting of the planet by demented greedheads led directly to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of deaths, and terrible suffering of millions more. Not only did this not bother these psychopaths, they planned for it:
"Ecuador, once its bank sector was de-regulated and its economy “structurally adjusted,’ exploded into riots. Stiglitz told me that inside the World Bank, these were called, “IMF riots,” which were not only predicted but planned into the re-structuring agreements. The crackdown was also predicted. Tanks in the street and martial law would allow the implementation of the full structural smash and grab.
My Argentine friends told me Structural Adjustment led to school teachers hunting in garbage cans for food. Ensuing protests and riots did not stop the sell-off of the nation’s oil company to Spain and the Buenos Aires water system to Enron."
This is the situation we're in, folks. And not only did a certain orange cretin's election NOT slow down this looting spree (as even his red-hat cult is starting to notice), he has joined and intensified it. Billionaires have a friend in the White House, but no one else.

That being said though, while it may be true that it does little good to rant against the evil oligarchs ruining our country in general and our lives in particular, it's just simply the right thing to do.
On the other hand, the noticing is important.
"TDS" is what Drumpf's cult has.
What about Miller, Vance, Hegseth, Nome, Bondi, etc?
