After the attack on the home of the former RBS Chairmen  in Edinburgh by a group calling itself  ‘Bank Bosses Are Criminals’  are we seeing the start of a violent backlash against the greedy instigators of our world’s demise?

AIG bonus benefitters have been sending back handfuls of cash, some of them, quite possibly in fear for their lives and the safety of their families after a US newspaper published addresses of the homes of several who had received government bailout money in retention bonus form.

When the system promotes usury, there is always payback. Until we design an economy based on a fair return for a fair exchange and governments are forced by law to be utterly transparent and accountable, we will not be able to stop the money men from stealing our earnings. It’s time to stop accepting the staus quo and demand a better economic system for the future.

Bailout Busters

by Carey Lenehan

Infatuated with the tangled twine of ancient embezzlement,
moribund in extremity, and gushing in their excuses
the orotund wastrels of frippery, who value only excess,
rest apprehended in the process of meaningless extraction,
count their shrinking waistlines
and ruminate on their profuse gluttony

Across the spooked cities of a shrinking world,
the masses, in excessive harmony,
befuddled by hypnotic politispeak
and seeking symphonies of revenge,
watch mesmerised in eerie silence
as pinstripe suited actuaries
draw immoral lines between prosperity
and its muddled brother, greed.
