Just going back to Chatham house & the BBCs use of their experts, their slogan is "Independent thinking on international affairs" Their corporate members pay £12,000 per year for membership, it's some list, I don't suppose there would be any chance of the tail wagging the dog ? According to this crowd the mainstream media will win the propaganda war on the internet.

I did a bit more digging & found this site which lists other examples of bodies who exert corporate influence, such as the International crisis group. I KNOW ITS NOT A PROPER LINK !!!, I will wear a hair shirt & put barbed wire in my underpants as penance, honest.

Through tatter'd clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it.

Stevie, you won't need to buy a book, unless you are planning on a career change or building your own site?

…. "Germany is drawing up plans to restructure Greece’s sovereign debt in the event that Athens’ economic reforms fail to heave the country out of its budget crisis.

Its intentions fly in the face of the European Central Bank, which fears that asset write-downs could trigger a financial crisis at a time when the banking system is still bruised from the last one.

But Berlin reckons it and eurozone partners could avoid such desperate straits if they persuade Athens to offer bondholders a voluntary restructuring with tools used before by the International Monetary Fund.

One idea is to encourage bondholders to swap risky Greek sovereign bonds at about market prices for safer paper guaranteed by the eurozone – akin to “Brady Bonds” issued to South American countries in the 80s." …

We've had hints on this for many months now, but of course it doesn't address the various German, French, British banks exposure to Greek and other non-sovereign debt.

Mind-boggling larceny in full daylight.

for anyone interested in where the bailout money is going: the wives of Wall St, and the Cayman Islands, apparently.

I forgot my html when not needed for a few years, and then had to learn it again, but it's only a small handful of things for this.

Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail ?

"Financial crooks brought down the world's economy — but the feds are doing more to protect them than to prosecute them"

" I write to you from a disgraced profession. Economic theory, as widely taught since the 1980s, failed miserably to understand the forces behind the financial crisis. … Economists [argued that] widespread fraud therefore could not occur. Not all economists believed this – but most did.

Thus the study of financial fraud received little attention. Practically no research institutes exist; collaboration between economists and criminologists is rare; in the leading departments there are few specialists and very few students. Economists have soft-pedaled the role of fraud in every crisis they examined, including the Savings & Loan debacle, the Russian transition, the Asian meltdown and the dot.com bubble. They continue to do so now. At a conference sponsored by the Levy Economics Institute in New York on April 17, the closest a former Under Secretary of the Treasury, Peter Fisher, got to this question was to use the word “naughtiness.” This was on the day that the SEC charged Goldman Sachs with fraud".
