A Business Man


From Wikipedia:

Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff (born April 29, 1938) is an American businessman and former chairman of the NASDAQ stock exchange


sometimes, just the simplest of statements can sound deeply and resoundingly ironic...

Ive just watched this terrific video of world-class Whistleblower Harry Markopolos testifying to Congress on the Madoff case...

also this statement from Ron Paul (found on this page and video):

If you look at the principle of fractional reserve banking, that in a way is a Ponzi scheme. This gets people doing things and building a mountain of debt… debt on debt, in this manner.


It was in watching these two videos together today, that set up this incredible irony in the phrase "An American businessman"...

theres so much more to say, isnt there?... we can let it rest in the silence though... more will come from looking at this later...
