A          “‘Go Kleptocracy, Inc. Go’ doesn’t have the same ring as ‘Go U.S.A. Go.’”

B          “You could replace the stars with dollar signs and the stripes with universal product codes to reflect the monetization of America.  Rally ‘round the ‘Dollar Signs and Bar Codes’ does not alliterate the way rally ‘round the ‘Stars and Stripes’ does.”

A          “And doesn’t sound right, does it.”

B          “To say that everything is a lie and a fraud is an understatement.”

A          “Almost everything is a lie.”

B          “That may be closer to the truth.”

. . .

B          “A kleptocracy is an oligarchy that no longer is even vaguely concerned about even the pretense of evenhandedness or equality.”

A          “That’s it; that’s us.”

. . .

B          “And yet so many commentators point to the Dow that topped 16 Grand for a time today.”

A          “It’s over the top.  The rise is so tightly correlated with the monthly eighty-five billion dollar ($85,000,000,000.00) bribe paid by the Federal Reserve to the Big Banks.”

B          “What if they doubled the bribe to one hundred and seventy billion dollars ($170,000,000,000.00) each month paid to the Big Banks.  Why not.  Everything is a fraud and a lie and a fraud.”

A          “The crash will be even more epic.”

. . .

A          “One of the former Federal Reserve officials confessed and apologized for the program known as ‘quantitative easing’ as the ‘greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time’ with little real economic expansion.  Bernanke* is a nice guy who has really done little more than dispense bribes to Big Banks.”

B          “Like Bernanke*, Jellen may be the best this talent-starved kleptocracy can produce.  She will continue the official Federal Reserve policy of dispensing bribes to Big Banks.”

A          “In her testimony, she assured Wall Street and the Big Banks that she will maintain their primacy and hegemony.”

B          “Congress charged the Federal Reserve with considering employment.”

A          “The Fed is mindful of the impact of its bribes on employment on Wall Street.”

. . .

A          “What if he went out like former President Eisenhower and delivered a warning about the perniciousness of the financial industrial complex?”

. . .

A          “The answer is so obvious and so easy.  Preclude any bank from holding more than one hundred billion dollars ($100,000,000,000.00) in assets.”

B          “The Big Banks will never approve that action by the Federal Reserve.”

. . .

A          “The Norwegians do not help when they dispense their trophy to the cheer leaders who put a cheery façade on the fraud.”

B          “And the e-con-omics departments oblige by providing a steady pipeline of obedient sycophants.”
