  • Matt Taibbi pens a lengthy response after Goldman Sachs' (GS) spokesman Lucas Van Pragg laughs off his takedown. "Companies like Goldman Sachs have a virtual monopoly on mainstream-news public relations; for every one reporter like me... there are a thousand hacks out there willing to pimp Goldman's viewpoint on things in the front pages and ledes of the major news organizations."

    Like all oligarchs throughout history, the parasites at Goldman Sachs can simply laugh-off any and all criticism - because they OWN the government (AND most of the media).

    Meanwhile, government-owned fraud-factory Citigroup continues its own criminal operations with apparently ZERO intentions of ever eliminating crime from is "business model" (see www.bullionbullscanada...).

    And it will continue that way as long as the public is ignorant of the truth.

    Let Goldman and Co. "flack" all they want. We get our truth from Matt Taibbi--and Jeff Nielson.

    In the end a criminal is just a criminal. You do not have a crime problem because you have too many criminal minds, you have a crime problem when the police don't arrest criminals and stop the profits from crime.

    The problem here is not GS, JPM, or any of the other investment houses/banks, its that SEC that is letting them run wild and not doing its job.
