The intervention of Mervyn King appears to represent the injection of that note of realism so evidently lacking in the electoral campaign. However, things have gone so far that even our realism is delusional. Is it really the case that some tough decisions, a dose of austerity, can bring us out of this crisis? Alas, the contradictions are just too deep and all our thinking depends on the assumption that what worked in the past will work again. We fail to grasp the uniqueness of our predicament, that it is no longer just a a question of more or less of the same: draconian cuts are no more a solution than was Bush’s mad mantra of endless patriotic spending. Something is coming to an end in Anglo-America and until we have grasped what it is and acquired the humility to face up to it we are just going to be flailing around helplessly.

Seize and Liquidate Goldman Sachs

Today’s Senate hearings, carried on CNBC, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN, represent the first major exposure of the American people to the scandalous frauds of the derivatives casino, including synthetic collateralized debt obligations (synthetic CDOs or CDO²). These are things most people have heard very little about. They begin to open up the shocking reality behind such shopworn euphemisms like “toxic assets,” “exotic instruments,” and “troubled assets.” Reactionaries in general and Republicans in particular have done everything possible to hide the role of derivatives, which must be considered the main cause of the financial panic of September 2008 which brought down Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and AIG, after felling Bear Stearns in March of the same year. The reactionary legend, repeated yesterday on the Senate floor by financier minion GOP Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire, is that the crisis was caused by poor people taking out subprime mortgages and then defaulting, bringing down the entire Anglo-American banking system and triggering the bailouts. Either that, or too much government spending was too blame.

Bring Down Goldman Sachs and Expose the Financial Coup

Not only did Goldman Sachs profit on betting against CDOs they designed to fail; more importantly, they insured them through AIG which led to a $182 billion taxpayer bailout.
Have you heard the news? It’s everywhere! The SEC and Congress have all of a sudden sprung to life and are now “getting tough” on Goldman Sachs. Is this all the first phase of a long-awaited investigation that will reveal the causes of our current economic crisis, or is this just more show trials and psychological operations designed to manipulate public opinion and make the American people feel that our elected officials are finally standing up to their campaign funders on Wall Street?

Dollar surges on Europe downgrades
Posted by seumasach on April 28, 2010
It’s working! What a great idea having your own rating agencies- one minute you can triple AAA rate a junk CDO, the next you can trash competing currencies. You can even maintain UK government bonds at AAA rating! The battle for Europe is heating up- look out for retaliation soon.
28th April, 2010
The dollar surged to a new 11-month peak against a basket of its major counterparts overnight, broadly boosted by mounting sovereign credit concerns in Europe.
Yesterday, Standard & Poor’s ratings agency downgraded Greece’s government debt to junk status amid mounting concerns about its ability to finance its soaring debt.
