Brooksley Born

They bilk us; information found regarding internal communications back in 1993 when Proctor & Gamble sued their bank for selling duff products highlights this. It’s the rest of us versus the banks, and sadly the politicans seem to be more on their side than ours. One woman who fought for regulation, essentially for civilisation against lawlessness, was the CTFC’s Brooksley Born. Her story’s here in video;

Educating and frightening in equal parts.

It suggests to me that since the OTC derivatives entire process is dark, there’s only one realistic approach when it goes wrong; walk away.

You can’t fix what you can’t see.

I know this means walking away from the existing banking system, so to what exactly? Ellen Brown seems to be pointing the way;

Nick Griffin And The BBC

Firstly, if I was Nick Griffin I’d have absolutely made sure there were riots outside the BBC centre if I knew I was going to be on Question Time. It’ll be interesting if it turns out that at least some of the protesters against his presence there turned out to BNP members bigging up the occasion.

The real significance of the occasion for me was that he was there in the first place anyway. A representative of a fringe party, regarded by most as cranks a few short years ago, now here they are on a highly-regarded mainstream political program, albeit from what I gather (didn’t watch it) he wasn’t asked any decent questions. What would have seemed impossible, unimaginable even a few short years ago is now becoming commonplace and even respectable.

Who are they going to have on next week, the Druids?
