One down

yeah! scum like murdoch are next :banana:
 
Small bank, sacrificial lamb. Too bad for him he wasn't a Goldman Sachs exec, he'd be in the Obama cabinet.
 
Dunno about the last part, but as with some banks being too big to fall, certainly there are those bankers whose position effectively isolates them from just about anything legally.

Likewise politicians and movie stars...

Yes, it is true.

It is not simply Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Gary Gensler and Mark Patterson who are Goldies, but a long list of others. “But that’s just the tip of the Goldman Sachs iceberg. Here you will find, I believe, the most comprehensive list of people-groups yet available to show how Obama’s administration has really become the Goldman Sachs administration.”

Elena Kagan is merely the latest addition, although her ties to Goldman are downplayed if not completely ignored by the corporate media.

More comprehensive list here.
 
Damn. That's... an even cushier golden handshake then the system we have over here, in which we make the bigshot bankers Peers.

Ta for the link, makes for some quite unpleasant reading.

Do you know of anywhere that offers a comparison to previous incumbents?

Sorry, I do not have any link handy. Sadly this is nothing new and Bush had plenty of his own G$ bankers.
 
If I had the time a project like this would probably be just up my street.

Thanks again for pointing to that link.
 
A Closer Look at Government
The vision we're usually given of how political power is manifest in our society typically runs something like this: government at the top, banking, industry, media and military, beneath, and the people beneath this. However, an independent examination of the development of modern political power is more likely to reveal the following arrangement: extended family banking groups at the top, government beneath, facilitating the wishes of this hierarchy, and the media beneath portraying the work of the government to the people as "democracy in action."
It can thus be seen that, in truth, most governments are little more than front organizations for the elite banking cartels. They interface with the public via the media, acting to facilitate social change in a manner that maintains relative social stability, while ensuring that our culture stays in line with any course the elite wish it to pursue. Western governments do not usually allow the public to actually pick who becomes their political representative, merely to choose between individuals selected by the party hierarchy. Neither do the public get to pick the policies the representative will pursue, this is also under the control of the party. To say that this system is open to abuse is a considerable understatement.
