For an amusing indication of just how effective the US justice system is, look no further than the JP Morgan offices in Los Angeles. A peaceful protest in front of the front doors of the megabank led to 22 arrests. Alas all of them were of those protesting: not a single banker was even touched in the making of this non-brush up with the law. From ABC News: "Police arrested 22 demonstrators who blocked entry to a downtown Chase bank branch Thursday to protest what they said were unfair home foreclosures. The demonstrators, which included homeowners facing foreclosure, community advocates and labor leaders, silently allowed officers to bind their wrists behind their backs with plastic restraints and guide them into a police van. Dozens more demonstrators chanted and marched on a nearby sidewalk holding sighs that said "Stop Bank Greed, Save Our Neighborhoods" as the 12 men and 10 women were taken into custody." So instead of the legal system finally finding at least one of the bankers who either led the country to the Great Financial Crisis even presumably guilty, the status quo marches on as those who dare to protest against what will sooner or later be disclosed as the biggest fraud in US financial history.

Detective Gus Villanueva said there were no injuries to police or protesters, who would be cited for trespassing and released.



Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment member David Mazariegos said the demonstrators hoped to bring attention to the plight of people who were unjustly losing their homes.



He said banks' failure to modify many borrowers' loans puts them in violation of the Home Affordable Modification Program in which lenders agreed to participate as part of the bank bailout.



"The banks are not helping anyone stay in their homes," Mazariegos said. "It's highway robbery, what they're doing to these people."



ACCE director Amy Schur said the groups were singling out JPMorgan Chase & Co. because most of the borrowers whose foreclosures and evictions they are contesting are serviced by that bank.



A Chase spokeswoman did not immediately return a phone call Thursday.

One wonders just what kind of event Julian Assange is waiting for to release any of the financially-related documents that may finally being some justice to the kleptocratic regime in which trespassing is a greater crime than the coordinate and organized theft of trillions. If his "insurance" is to be released only in the event of his expiration, perhaps someone should explain to the Wikileaks founder that at that time it may be too late to collect on the prize...
