KLEPTO-CRONY-FRAUDOCRATIC-PONZI-PLUTOPIANISM...Soon as i saw that headline i thought Banzais doing another toon on Dunkin Doughnuts!
What a surprise when it's just a cheap commercial plug for an over-leveraged paper round for schoolkids with Ivy League parents
Please simplify your headline writing Banzai for the hard-of-reading and easily confused like me.. toon underneath was good though
Actually, I think it was the all caps the threw you.
That's a good description of Corporatism. We are living in the film, "Rollerball".

Excessive Truth Alert:RAN Squawk:
France's Coeure says only governments can fix the functioning of the bond markets"...only governments can PRICE-fix the functioning of the bond markets."
Fixt.
He needs to get his head unscrewed.
Plutocronyistikakistocracy is shorter.
but it will take up a full 15 second sound bite. MSM won't buy it, maybe that's the point.
my gosh that's more authentic looking than Obama's BC. however I think we have him Wm B, I note that he lists his age as 7, but in the fine print it says you must be 12!!! AHA. oh wait that only means he ISN'T liable and his application was robosigned by some piece worker licking envelopes in a Detroit homeless shelter??? well i guess you win again Obama.
The "state" on the mail in coupon should be "of confusion" or maybe "of disgrace".
Very funny WB7, retro we can believe in!
Perp Amnesia. A malady which mysteriously seems to principally strike Wall Street executives.
Adequate research funding to find a cure is estimated to be decades away however.
The research will cost millions and a cure will never be found so...
Let's just get this revolution rolling!
The OWSers may be evicted, but they are very busy. http://occupywallst.org/article/occupy-will-never-die-evict-us-we-multiply/
Just a horrendous socio economic system.
Only has done more for the advancement of mankind than all the rest combined doubling the lifespan of the species in three generations-BOL replicating that with any other organism.
To the point that obese folks who own cars and homes are now called "poverty stricken."
Where the bottom 1% live in the to 1/10000th of 1% of historical humanity.
But I can understand how confusing it all is, peering down from ivory towers always seems to distort the view-they still haven't figured out up there-a country needs: food, fuel, banking system and a military and not much else-certainly not 15,000 agencies doling out social welfare.
Otherwise keep up the super sharp work and regal us with more tales of first class flights, five star suites sipping lattes discussing the future of the ants.
Little Johnny has indebted himself with student loans over $60 Grand to get a social science degree...or history......etc
Hopefully he can be happy discussing the rise and fall of civilizations, the vikings, King Henvy VIII, etc or social policies with his co-workers at Walmart or McD's while he tries to repay the mega loans with his minimum wages. I am not sure our society values any degree anymore except business?!
Yeah, strange how all the big art history companies are not hiring at the moment. This any degree is better than no degree thing clearly isn't working.
However, there is a very persuasive argument put forward in the book A Whole New Mind, that fine arts majors are in certain important respects better prepared to cope in this tough new environment than Finance MBAs.
They are warned to expect a tough life, they are trained in various physical crafts and they are innovative.
Hello Corzine (Hashed from the Super Furry Animal's song "Hello Sunshine")
So easy to say good bye - meaning it today
I've said good bye before - Leaving you alone
By the Jersey Shore.......
Good bye Corzine, you came into my life
Good bye Corzine, you gave me lots of strife
In honesty its been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Good bye Corzine. give him 10 to life
Funds comingled, cash withdrawn and moved.
To the Bermuda Islands or a bank in Thun
In honesty its been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Good bye Corzine. give him 10 to life
Pfffttt....one of the panels shows the kid going door to door to collect money. He should just pledge the potential earnings of collecting, and get the cash now.
This is how you do it boys (Meaning WB7 got it right) No hypothication needed.
WB7, this has been a battle long fought, going back before the very birth of the Federal Reserve System...

Wait till you see my next post...I used to think of the Robber Barons as the mighty titans of Wall Street swindling, but durng these past few years I have finally decided that we are living in the true Golden Age of Fraud. There is no comparison when you look at the magnitude of what has happened, even on a relative basis.
Teddy swung the broadsword here, back in 1904, but WB7, you are the visual combat "Jack" of the modern age. I would say "Keep them coming," but I don't have to: we both know that in this day and age, source material is essentially limitless.
No, this is not going away. I thought it might. But sadly this will just keep getting worse and worse. This is the modern day Tammany Wehrmacht we are facing...and I am styling myself after the fine traditions of Nast, Grosz and others.
And you're doing a brilliant job! I save most of your work for memory's sake later on.
It's not too late for last minute online Christmas Shopping folks...

Hi WB7,
Do you ever check out Gillray ?
Thank you for that ;-)
Here's two of my favourites as you seem like a connoisseur

This is a perfect example of why I like the old stuff so much. Modern cartoons for the most part latch onto one basic piece of humor. These old satirical illustrations are multidimensional. You can stare at them and get lost. That kind of visual trance is when people are truly persuaded. The message becomes indelible because you can experience the concept from so many different perspectives.
The visual trance is powerful. Lot's of learning goes on when belief is suspended and suggestion occurs.
I'm really sorry if I'm getting boring but this one is so current.

Not boring at all. A guided tour by a connoisseur is always interesting.
I wonder how many hours it took to create one of those.
Look at the rain. Very nice touch.
Yes, I love that one. It's 1797, Britain is at war with revolutionary France, hence the red capped opposition MPs, including Charles Fox , dressed as Jacobins in the rushes, the French fleet gathered in Brest waiting to invade and the ghostly hordes, all to the left, in the sky. William Pitt the younger is Prime Minister and there is a run on the Bank of England so he brings in smaller denomination notes (I think £5) for the first time. The stock Market cheers as he shits out paper (somethings never change) I don't know who all the figures on the right are but the first, in red, is George III.
lol brilliant
I couln't see most of it, because the advertizing was too big.

This truly is the age of fraud. I wrote the only biography of Harry Reid, who is up to his eyeballs in sleazy deals (City Center, DesertXpress, G-Sting). It's all right out of the movie Casino. Except now Harry is the Majority Leader of the Senate. I thought I was going to get whacked.
I know Reid's campaign manager from the 70s who picked up bags of cash from pimp Joe Conforte of the Mustang Ranch, who was mob connected and buying off other politicians. It went downhill from there.
Our whole system is now infested with these crony socialists. http://www.futurnamics.com/reid.php
It's difficult to predict which direction WB7 is going to go in. Sweet wholesome apple pie comforting familiarity with sharp sour satire.
Roy Lichtenstein with more meaning.
