Actually, the fact that Jamie Dimon is on the board of directors of the Federal
Reserve is not exactly big news. The Federal Reserve is essentially a banking
cartel, like any industry cartel (bananas, chemicals, anything). They were
founded in the early 20th century in relative if not actual secret, and further
their industry sector's interests, which is to say banking interests. The more
interesting idea is that he was going to be tapped for treasury secretary, the
way Hank Paulson CEO of Goldman Sachs was treasury secretary under Bush.
There's not even a pretense that government and industry aren't one and the
same, except in name.
Mitt Romney is a vocal supporter of corporate legal personhood, he believes
corporations are people. He's now running for president against Obama. If you
were running for president and really wanted to be elected, which is to say,
needed the banks and other corporations' donations, were would you stand on
these issues? Hillary Clinton is giving up secretary of state at the end of
this term. I wonder if she had been president if she would have wanted a
second term.
Good night everybody.
Andy
