S

GOLDMAN

SACHS THE EVI L EMPI RE? That see ms to be th e q uest ion that a

lot of

pe opl e have

on

their minds. There

is fa r too

many

coincidences with ex-Goldman people in str ate gic

political-appointed

po st s to jus t

be

o verlo oked. Congres s

and the

nation

are mad as

hell

at the

Federal Reserve

an d at the

very

minimum,

it

will

be

stripped

of it s so

called cons umer -pr ote ction power that

it

never too k very ser iou sl y anyway. Yet thr oug h all of this

f

remains a growing r esen tment outsi de of the pro fe ssi ona l

commun ity as

well

as

inside,

that want s

to

storm

th e

cast le walls

of

Goldman Sachs

and

destroy everyt hing

it

stands

for as if it

were

th e

creator

of an

evil

Frankenstien.

In the very

least,

thi s par tic ula r turn in the econom y was cen te re d directl y withi n

th e

finance

industry that

has

been givin g

t he

rest

of the

more sta nda rd inves tment community

a

very

bad

name.

For no

matter

who wr it es tfh at, the

whole

lot is

b eing throw n int o

th e

same

bath-tub

and

labeled Wal l

Street

as if it

was pure evil . The Rolli ng St one Magazine cal le d it the Great American

Bubble

Machine argu ing that Goldman

Sachs

has

been behind every major bubble since

the

Great Depr ess - io n. I have cal le d it the

Club

that

what

has evolved is a pe rsi ste nt des ire to jus t manipulate markets

to

create

the

perfect trade.

It is

time

we

expl ore this

in

detail

fo r

what

has

been going

on

Behind

the

Curtain

is

threat ening everyone

and

even

the

future

of our

children.

But

make

no

mistake,

it wa s NO T th e

F ederal Reserve

wh o was

to

regulate

the

Inve stme nt Bank s, that

wa s the

Securities

&

Exchange

Coomission

( SEC )

and

th e

Conitodity

Futures

Trading Commissi on

( CFTC ).

T he Fed regu late d commercial banks, rot inves tment

banks.

They

got

involved

in the

bailout,

but let u s lay

blame where

it

reall y lies

- th e SEC and

CFTC

who

have

wiped

out

your futu re.

You

cannot

fi x

something that

is

broken unless you unders tand what is broken. I

have

often

warned of the

Pardox

of

Solution

that I have named a fas cinati ng trend whereby the

evil

see n to cre at e a eco no mi c even t is the n att acke d and the

solution

cr eat ed thereby establishes

the

cause

of the

next event

and so the

next solu tion

is to g o

back

to

what previo usly exis ted creat ing

a

pendulum

move

that

becomes a nat ura l cycli cal swi ng back

an d

forth between these

two

solutions.

Thus, I have cal le d thi s cycl ica l tre nd the pla in Parado x of

Solution.

T he sol uti on for th e Great D epr ess ion , was to crea te a sep er at io n between investment/sp eculation

and

banking. Thus, Inve stme nt Bank s were regul ated

by t he

SEC and Commer ical

Banks

by the

Fed. This solution

was

-reversed
