I think it's more about the method of which they give out punishments. These people are taking specific cases that happened recently to them and using their frustration as a fuel for their extreme ideas.

I think I read that HSBC also has millions invested in arms manufacturers.

Yeah, I read that too. Wouldn't be surprised, arms tech is big money, you know, destroying peoples' homes and families and shit.

Ah things were much nicer when I was a child (not THAT long ago), completely oblivious to the fucked up world that we live in.
I always thought Daddy Warbucks gyrocopter was pretty cool, though.

Double standards at its worse - unfortunately there is nothing that can be done  Angry

Stop using the banks and their money and stop paying the corrupt governments and so called justice system which doesn't even uphold justice.

If only it were so simple  Wink

Seems pretty simple to me. Unfortunately most people are also pretty simple  Grin.

Perhaps, but I don't think we are quite at the stage when we can stop using fiat money quite yet. And tax, unfortunately is not optional  Sad

Tax is always optional. They can't throw us all in jail, nor would there be anybody to throw us in jail if we stopped paying their wages.

Lol you do have a point. While taxes are important, they are massively abused in many countries. If millions of people actively decided to not pay their taxes (self assessment), and held off through the fines then it would cause havoc.

I don't know if that would be wise, but theoretically it would prove a point lol.


There's gonna have to be a little anarchy and discomfort if you want revolution. Most people don't though so they're happy to continue living their comfortable lives as long as they can do so without anyone bothering them too much.

They do, and loan billions to the industry. Barclays has billions in shares in arms dealers etc.

Regardless of your complaints about injustice and unequal application of the law, the federal complaint against Shrem will stand on it's own merits or lack of.

Having said that, I don't think they have a very solid case.  Maybe on the pot brownies, but that is small potatoes.

One law for the us and a different law for the banks. I wonder if you could bring up the HSBC laundering case in your defence? lol.

left side: not too big to fail, great target
right side: too big to fail

"Had the U.S. authorities decided to press criminal charges," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer at a press conference to announce the settlement, "HSBC would almost certainly have lost its banking license in the U.S., the future of the institution would have been under threat and the entire banking system would have been destabilized."

Yeah, the hypocrisy and double-standards are mind-blowing. Seems you can buy your way out of jail if you've got enough money. And there wouldn't be any cartels that needed to launder money if drugs were legalised.

You will likely be familiar with these stories, but this image containing clippings side-by-side demonstrates the power than banks have.
