Maybe all these 'big wrongs' do not make the 'small wrongs' right. Neither Berlusconi, nor these big banks, nor P2 or any other self-interest group have played any significant role in my life besides maybe as a background rhythm section.

It is the Italian people themselves, my "furbi" ex-colleagues and business partners, my ex-commercialista, my ex-landlady which make me sick to the bone. Ravenous talentless thieves whose only merit is that they know someone who knows someone who may be important.

Maybe this is caused by Berlusconi, maybe by Andreotti, maybe by Mussolini, but by now it is your responsibility, like it always has been.

And no, "furbi" isn't smart at all.. it is childsplay. Berlusconi is just an excuse for foreigners to laugh about Italians..

"that people find mysterious:"
There is a fundamental to banking that most persons find incomprehensible, usually with their reality of student or mortgage debt. That "loans" are the creation of new money that didn't exist before. It creates a cancerous growth reality. Part of the URL page link is "Title verity for credit from bank as (Dollars original creation.)" If we were reminded of essential truth we might insist on a more sensible system.

There are three principle causes of the current crisis: Greed, corruption and tax evasion:
Greed of bankers and corporate bosses in quoted companies who for twenty years have put their own selfish interests and those of shareholders before employees and the long term interest of their companies and the country.
Corruption of politicians and the elite who have lost all sense of morality or the well being of the people. They have lined their own pockets, handed over national assets to business friends to rip off the people, and granted all kinds of tax favours to multinational corporations and wealthy individuals to the detriment of the nation. And the more they earn the less they want to pay in tax.
Tax evasion has been allowed to flourish and become a major earner for the financial services industry with backing from political friends to create and operate a range of fancy avoidance schemes that benefit a minority of wealthy individuals and corporations enabling them to transfer billions into offshore tax havens depriving the State of badly needed tax revenues and making the poor countries poorer. The result is increasing national debt, cut backs in public services, job losses, home repossessions, a failing economy and desparate people trying to reach Europe in the false belief it will give them a better life.
The only solution is a radical transformation of society through a redistribution of the nation's wealth. There has to be a clamp down on the use of offshore banks and tax havens, the abolition of all tax avoidance schemes designed purely to avoid tax and a reduction in the oversized pay packets of bankers and corporate bosses that are totally undeserved.
Regulation of the banking sector is necessary and the introduction of the Tobin Tax, approved by Bill Gates, on daily transactions in the stock, currency and commodity markets is so logical and fair. It raises money from the sector that makes the most without producing anything and is such a small tax it would not cause a ripple in the financial pond. Whether Wall Street or the City of London like it, this is the only way to create a more stable environment in order for the real economy to be able to grow and to ensure the future prosperity of the people in the so called rich countries and the poor nations of the world.

"Imperial Rome is the centre of the empire, undisputed master of the world but with this power inevitably comes corruption. No man is sure of his life, the individual is at the mercy of the state, murder replaces justice, rulers of conquered nations surrender their helpless subjects to bondage, high and low alike become roman slaves, roman hostages, there is no escape from the whip and the sword. That any force on earth can shake the foundations of this pyramid of power and corruption and human misery and slavery seems inconceivable". Quo Vadis.
For Rome and Romans read Wall Street and bankers and we can ask ourselves again. "Quo Vadis".

We don't have to go back to Bretton Woods in 1944 when the US (Then burgeoning with credit) insisted on creating the IMF; which would be required to go hand in hand for all eternity with an American veto.
Appallingly, the totally inspired - but entirely sensible - solution offered by John Maynard Keynes was thrown out of court -AND EVEN REMEMBERED AS BEING CONNECTED WITH THE IMF PROPOSAL!!!

KEYNES IS ENTIRELY INNOCENT.

KEYNES'S SOLUTION WOULD STILL WORK!!!

America (being now burgeoned with DEBT!) might even - with egg on its big face - approve. (China would have to be bought.)
