Nomi Prins has been poring over the books of the big banksters, who are floating on an ocean of $14 trillion of taxpayer-provided bailout funds (that's not a typo, the number really is fourteen trillion dollars), and it isn't a pretty sight.
In other news, Afghanistan is about to become the graveyard of a third Empire. Some future historian will have to uncover the relentless dialectic which drove the very last imperialist world hegemon (there will be no others) to commit economic and geopolitical suicide, by sacrificing its industrial base for a bunch of irresponsible banksters, and sacrificing its democracy for an insane war of colonial conquest on one of the poorest countries on the planet.
