Global bank looting by our representatives ---- nice.

[Jan Klimkowski]

George Orwell could've dropped acid and still not come up with a scheme quite so assumptive and brazenly deranged as this one. It is based on the following insane principles:1. Putting money in a bank makes every citizen a creditor of that bank, equally prone to confiscation in order to repay….who exactly? The answer is, other banks it owed money. So it's not really our money after all, it's the banking sector's money. After it's been taxed by the Government, despite the fact that we earned it…it's really all bankers' money after all. Unbelievable.2. If we are prudent enough to keep money in smaller amounts in lots of accounts, we will have to pay a penalty tax' well of course we will: I mean, given it's never our money really we're just borrowing it, or something then quite right too. And because it isn't really our money, we shall be given strictly limited spending money per day. The brass neck is beyond belief.3. If you have been seditious enough in your life to actually make quite a lot of money legally, then within five days the money that was never really yours will be taken back by its rightful owners…the bankers….or the Government rescuing the bankers but without doing it in our taxes. Why five days why not five seconds? I mean, it's their money: we were just earning it for safe keeping, right? Of course we were.4. Anything is an exceptional circumstance if they say it is. Even the Nazis in 1933 had to burn down the bloody Reichstag to declare a State of Emergency. In 2013, it requires just one dumb, over-leveraged, f**kwitted bank to collapse under the weight of its CEO's ego, and we're all pauperised by Law

There is no difference between this and my walking down the street, being confronted by a complete stranger wielding a knife or gun, and having my cash and credit cards stolen.

Except the street robber will probably be wearing a hoodie to avoid the CCTV cameras, whilst the banksters will be clad in white collars and preaching about the Joys of Capitalism whilst slugging their jerobeams of Cristal champagne and cheating on the mothers of their brattish kids.

Also the street robber is more likely than not to be caught and banged up in prison.

The bankster will not end up in prison, but will retire with a knighthood, a huge pension and a massive sense of entitlement.
