[quote=IONEGARM]I thought the moon landing being faked was the #1 stupidest conspiracy theory.
But really this just takes the cake.[/quote]
That’s funny, because until last week I thought the allegation of market manipulation by big banks was the conspiracy theory that took the cake. And look what we found out:
“Last Wednesday, one publication stated that the software enables Goldman Sachs to assist the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (popularly called the Plunge Protection Team). Supposedly, this software reviews trading orders on the exchanges BEFORE they were committed. In the split-second before the orders are committed, Goldman Sachs’ program can enter trades to take advantage of the change in the market before other traders learn of these developments.”
And we aren’t talking about conspiracy theories from fringe sites. Even Bloomberg has caught on to the significance of this bombshell.
“Goldman Sachs Loses Grip on Its Doomsday Machine: Jonathan Weil ”
“It wasn’t just Goldman that faced imminent harm if Aleynikov were to be released, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Facciponti told a federal magistrate judge at his July 4 bail hearing in New York. The 34-year-old prosecutor also dropped this bombshell: The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways.”
Goldman has essentially been cheating the markets and making EVERY trade as if it were an inside trade. And how long has this been going on? Guess only the conspiracy theorists can tell us that 😉
Maybe it’s about time for you to invest in some tin foil. Truth is about to become stranger than fiction as more secrets are revealed. Oh yeah, that tends to happen when empires crumble…LOL.
