The Living Proof That All Assholes Look The Same!

Greg Smith

Why is everyone getting so excited about the new Goldman Sachs scandal is beyond me.  The business ethics of GS were well known before the crisis, more dirt came out about their “unethical” standards and practices during the crisis and the dirt keeps on coming out the financial sewer pipe. The latest and newest GS exposé has been published by none other than (of all people) Greg Smith,the executive director and head of Goldman Sachs’s United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Surprise surprise…NOT me.

GS was instrumental in causing the Greek, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish financial messes and eventually will be shown that their hands were dipped into the French and German honey jar as the problems with those economies begin to surface shortly after the elections in those countries.

The only thing that surprises me about GS,  is the fact, that even though American Regulators are in possession and have been in possession of damaging documents regarding GS, nothing has been done and  not a single manager, director, or executive from that organization has been charged, or has been investigated.  Hmmmm….how does that old saying goes…if it looks like shit and smells like shit you can be sure it’s not French pudding. 

There is so much documentation about GS’s illegal and immoral practices out there, that if the authorities were to actually put their politics aside and their efforts in gear to investigate GS through and through, there would be enough incriminating shit to bury under every building GS owns, every executive, every manager and every con artist associated with this company past and present.  But of course we know that ain’t gonna happen bro…is it?

You see GS is the Ringmaster of a three ring circus called Congress, Judiciary and Executive branch. And given the fact that Americans by the nature of their character are not very honourable people (greedy yes – honourable not), the possibility of them committing hara-kiri in defence of their honor, it’s not a likely event. So when the main stream media, electronic and print flush stories like the one about Greg Smith with such fervour and excitement and passion as if it is some kind of a game changer….I just BMAL!
