Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws.
--Mayer Amschel Rothschild

[Why it matters little which party is in power...]

Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game.

We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything.
--Matt Taibbi, Rollingstone Magazine

These banks, which already possess enormous power just by virtue of their financial holdings-in the United States, the top six banks, many of them the same names you see on the Libor and ISDA fix panels, own assets equivalent to 60 percent of the nation's GDP-are beginning to realize the awesome possibilities for increased profit and political might that would come with colluding instead of competing.

Moreover, it's increasingly clear that both the criminal justice system and the civil courts may be impotent to stop them, even when they do get caught working together to game the system.

...that would leave us living in an era of undisguised, real-world conspiracy, in which the prices of currencies, commodities like gold and silver, even interest rates and the value of money itself, can be and may already have been dictated from above. And those who are doing it can get away with it.

Forget the Illuminati-this is the real thing, and it's no secret. You can stare right at it, anytime you want.
--Matt Taibbi, Rollingstone Magazine

The only reason this problem [massive bank manipulations of the economy] has not received the attention it deserves is because the scale of it is so enormous that ordinary people simply cannot see it.

It's not just stealing by reaching a hand into your pocket and taking out money, but stealing in which banks can hit a few keystrokes and magically make whatever's in your pocket worth less. This is corruption at the molecular level of the economy, Space Age stealing - and it's only just coming into view.
--Matt Taibbi, Rollingstone Magazine
