Professor William K. Black explains everything you ever wanted to know about the mortgage-crisis & financial meltdown that the bullshit mainstream news media will never tell you: It was and is a fraud problem, not a business cycle problem. And CEOs, their lobbyists, and bought-off members of Congress are the ones who are ultimately responsible.

More on the $600 million theft/fraud of MF Global and its CEO, John Corzine. Warren Edward Pollock explains how "The Court Closed the Door To MF Global Customers." Major players like MF Global are desperately trying to make sure that fraud charges will never stick. For if they did, it would lead to potentially enormous losses in the derivatives market. And that ain't gonna happen -- not as long as the courts stay bought. As Thom Hartmann explained in a recently emailed newsletter:
According to a new report released by several voting rights groups, corporate special interests organizations are spending huge amounts of money to influence state supreme court elections. Just three pro-business groups -- the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the Business Council of Alabama, and the Illinois Civil Justice League -- have spent 13 times more money on judicial elections than has the ENTIRE national labor movement.
What are the expected results of this corporate buyout of the courts? Ever more court decisions will give corporations the right to pollute, to mettle in politics, and even to engage in genocide abroad, with immunity from civil suits.
So much for an impartial judiciary -- we are now on the verge of having a corporate judiciary.
