“While the earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by those happy few. This imbalance is the result of ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation. Consequently, they reject the right of states, charged with vigilance for the common good, to exercise any form of control.
A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules … In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenceless before the interests of a deified market, which become the only rule.”
Francis I
“He was a murderer from the beginning, not standing with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.”
John 8:44
It feeds on whatever is fragile, vulnerable, whether it be the environment, the public peace, the weak, the marginalized, the poor, the disabled, or the hearts and minds of children.
Peace and love are weakness; conquest and plunder are our calling.
There are a number of possible explanations for this recent cluster of untimely deaths on Wall Street.
They may be suicides. The culture of pressure and high stakes on Wall Street is notorious. Young bankers can literally work themselves to death for managers and institutions who have little or no value or appreciation for normal human life, except for the most cynical of public masquerades.
It is a culture made for the emotionally stunted and sociopaths, for crippled human minds maintaining their existence with insensate obsessions and mindless acquisition. It takes otherwise good people and slowly turns them inside out.
It has become anti-human.
The Banks have set money and personal power above all other values, whether they involve customers or employees or the public. The gods they worship are as old as Babylon, and evil as hell.
In addition to a physical death, which is tragic enough, there are also so many more moral and emotional deaths, the long, slow strangulation and eradication of all that makes us human, which I fear claims many more souls than we might appreciate or even imagine. It hollows out people and public institutions, extending the reach of the great emptiness.
Wall Street has become the wellspring of a modern culture of death.
Last Thursday, 29-year old Thomas J. Hughes, later described by his brother as ‘one of the happiest people I know,’ allegedly took his life by jumping from a luxury apartment building at 1 West Street in Manhattan. Before any serious investigation had taken place, the New York tabloids had dismissed the matter as a suicide. Hughes was an investment banker on Wall Street.
…for the first time in two centuries, iconic Wall Street banks are being serially charged with committing felonies. These banks have known for the same 18 months that bankers have been dying under suspicious circumstances that felony charges were coming. After a series of deferred prosecution agreements, two weeks ago on May 20, five global banks pleaded guilty to criminal charges of conspiring to rig markets. Two of those were U.S. banks, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, where recent unusual deaths have occurred.
In any serious investigation, law enforcement is required to look at any potential motive for foul play. But when it comes to serial deaths among Wall Street bankers and technology personnel, occurring repeatedly over the last 18 months in highly unusual circumstances, the deaths are almost instantaneously labeled non-suspicious by the police. But there are two glaring motives for foul-play in almost all of these deaths involving Wall Street or global banks…
This is a brief excerpt. Read the rest of the article here.
‘contra naturam’, to quote Ezra P.
Read the whole article.
Well, you associate with trash, and you might just find yourself in the dumpster, or dump site.
Of course those with more power and money, and the cops, courts, politicians, bureaucrats, regulators, in your speed dial and pocket, will take out those lessors that get in the way.
We have nearly reached peak corruption and power for these banksters. They are just chomping at their bits to get CONgress, and a President, to bank their ultimate business coup – a cashless society.
They already draw their cut, ever growing, from our poorest, our seniors, our disabled, and even the paychecks of CONgress, the only thing left is the cash we in the middle continue to hold in our hot little hands.
It will end, then we will be at Peak Bank Power, only God knows how that will turn out. My guess is “not good.”
Someone offing Wall Street banksters……….
Call me when they are all dead and we’ll throw one hell of a party.
The problem isn’t that someone is killing bankers. The problem is that the killers have their sights set too low in the banker food chain. They should start at the top and work their way down and then stop when they get to the community level, working stiff type bankers.
The linked article implies that the banks are profiting from insurance policies on their employees who commit suicide. Of course, these must be “coerced” suicides, no? As to the techies offing themselves, they must know something more than the code they write…
I had thought suicide precludes collecting on life insurance policies, but apparently not–with some exceptions, of course:
http://www.insurancequotes.org/life/the-truth-about-suicide-life-insurance/
And this one is obviously murder:
“Seven months after we had received the “trade secrets” letter from the OCC, 54-year old Melissa Millan, a woman who had the very type of peer review records we were seeking from the OCC, was brutally stabbed to death while jogging in Simsbury, Connecticut, a quaint, quiet town. Millan was a Senior Vice President with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, who worked in the Bank-Owned Life Insurance area. That meant Millan was among a limited group outside of Federal regulators who was in a position to have broad data on the death benefit claims being submitted by multiple banks and able to run studies to detect if anomalies were emerging.”
The pure evil happening over money seems to be getting worse with each passing day.
Rise up, most life insurance policies have a suicide exclusionary period of 3-7 years that I’m familiar with. After the exclusionary period, it pays off even in the event of suicide.
@IS, yes, that is what I learned from the link I included.
I don’t know what is killing them, but I have hopes about what might kill them in the future
I suspect the “casualties” are bankers high enough in their organization to see/know what is going on and what’s about to happen, but not high enough in the ranks to be the ones to select the “scape goats” that will be feed to the angry masses. They see themselves as the enviable fall guys that will be fed to the wolves and choose to exit on their own terms.
That’s just the way I see it.
inevitable not enviable
