Very noteworthy despite the back page nature of this article is the following:
The U.S. and its partners fear Iran’s nuclear effort is a cover for developing atomic weapons, and Iran has rebuffed repeated United Nations Security Council sanctions resolutions.
Democrats and Republicans have joined forces to propose legislation in the House and Senate that would target Iran’s gasoline imports from Europe and India.
Kerry’s hearing today was headlined by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who has pressed criminal cases of fraud and money-laundering related to Iran sanctions violations.
Morgenthau last month announced a 118-count indictment against a Chinese company that supplies banned weapons to Iran.
In January, Lloyds TSB Bank Plc agreed to pay $350 million to settle an investigation by Morgenthau alleging it allowed Iran illegal access to the U.S. banking system.
Lloyds admitted it altered wire transfer information to hide the identity of its clients, Morgenthau said at the time.
The case has had “widespread repercussions” in forcing other banks to scrutinize their transactions more closely, Morgenthau said today.
The Economic Royalists have no loyalty to nations, or principles, or any cause, other than to increase their financial holdings, so as to advance their global power grab, and apparently they can buy their way out of anything, including national security breaches to hostile sponsors of Islamic terrorism ?!?!?
First, they enabled Hitler’s coup in the Treaty of Versailles, then they financed him, during the first Great Depression. If not for FDR, who know’s where we’d be today. So much has been written about this–it’s just incredible what’s out there.
Of course this all happened before the invention of the atomic bomb.
The current international diplomatic situation needs to watched closely … follow the money!

My comment is not for this particular post. It’s the way I view not only this post but your entire site. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! Our tax dollars has already made these white collar criminals too wealthy already!
But why should they think any different? We’ve bailed out these people several times over the past century. They knew the taxpayers money would come to the rescue when they entered their ‘den of theives’.
