If you are new to this blog, you are invited to read first “The Largest Heist in History” which was accepted as evidence and published by the British Parliament, House of Commons, Treasury Committee.

"It is typically characterised by strong, compelling, logic. I loosely use the term 'pyramid selling' to describe the activities of the City but you explain in crystal clear terms why this is so." commented Dr Vincent Cable MP to the author.

This blog demonstrates that:

- the financial system was turned into a pyramid scheme in a technical, legal sense (not just proverbial);

- the current crisis was easily predictable (without any benefit of hindsight) by any competent financier, i.e. with rudimentary knowledge of mathematics, hence avoidable.

It is up to readers to draw their own conclusions. Whether this crisis is a result of a conspiracy to defraud taxpayers, or a massive negligence, or it is just a misfortune, or maybe a Swedish count, Axel Oxenstierna, was right when he said to his son in the 17th century: "Do you not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?".

Irish lesson - post scriptum


In an article "Irish lesson" published on this blog on 14 August 2010, the author argued that the UK credit rating will be cut by the rating agencies, despite (or rather because) of the government savings, public spending cuts and austerity measures.

Recently a credit rating agency, Moody's, has confirmed such an intention.

The so-called "financial markets" have become so transparent, conspicuous and predictable in their rather crude ripping off strategy of the taxpayers that it defies belief. It adds insult to injury: this is exactly like a burglar sending an advance notice to his victims and then robbing their homes in front of their eyes.
