Hear here!!
But nothing will get done about it because the banks are swimming in drug money.
Fark, Cisco go smoke some weed.
This guy has done some very good research into banking involvement in drugs:
http://drjiggens.com/the_mystery_of_nugan_hand_bank.html and his book is a must read for anyone who followed the Donald Mackay murder.
It has long been known that the CIA used drugs to fund their operations in Asia. This is not something new, the poms brought China to her knees with opium. Afghanistani opium production is at an all time high now, in a country which is supposedly controlled by the Yanks. Is it likely they are involved? I doubt the production would be possible without their involvement.
The CIA is a long time partner with organised crime in the US of A. There are no other customers capable of handing over huge amounts of cash and no agents more capable of making secure shipment and transfers. And what more effective a system could you devise to pull cash out of circulation.
Wouldn't dispute army or intelligence agencies... but banks, why bother, they INVENT money!
And if that wasn't enough, they rehypothecate.
And if that wasn't enough, they sell you make believe assets.
And if that... you get the picture.
Sure in the past they're involved... before they were allowed to invent financial products.
You are absolutely right, banks have need of drug money but drug money has to have banks.
It occured to me about a year ago that if these massive transactions are taking place between the producers and the primary buyers, eg the maffia, it has to be the most effective method of removing hard currency from the system.
There is more than enough evidence that all of the intelligence agencies require cash for their activities. Some banks have to be compliant.
**** them, merry christmas! Took the dog for a run around the river this morning, saw quite a few folk but was wished a merry xmas by only one group, some asians having a genteel brekky
