Goldman Sachs and Gaddafi breaking bread....

Goldman Sachs offered the Colonel several shares of stocks in the company and Gaddafi ate it up like a fat guy on cake.

After the crash, Gaddafi lost 98% of his shares.

Goldman thus swindled the shit out of the Libyan leader.

Gaddafi was seriously on his way to becoming a total neo-liberal dictator and a pal of the Western world until he felt that dagger sink deeper into his back. Idiot actually thought he could buy his way into the good graces of the West little by little. He is now seeing how the West can be when there is someone who can offer the goods cheaper and faster than him; the rebels.

Donald Trump admit to swindling him too! Did this guy think he was really going to appease the West with his lucrative joint ventures and his timid neo-liberal reforms?

But you don't support Qaddafi, right? It's totally not about lionizing a fascist "national bourgeois". It's about the libyan people, right?

Also, he was not on his way, he was firmly in with the war on terror, and are you seriously claiming the crash was somehow manufactured to swindle him? Tinfoil hat much? :rolleyes:

EDIT - Oh, wait, Russia Today. Nevermind, carry on. We'll just be laughing in the corner.

You seriously gathered that I thought the crash was a rouse to swindle Gaddafi?

I just meant that Gaddafi was just one in a long list of people whom Goldman swindled by having them buy their crap when they knew they were going under.

And the story was broken by Greg Palast, a good investigative journalist who broken the stolen election story in '00.

Clearly, you don't know what you're talking about.

Who in his turn swindled it from the Libyan people.

If those assets were in the name of the Libyan government, Goldman Sachs will have to hand it back to whatever Libyan government come out of this crisis - and they won't be able to give it any other destination until that. If they were in Gaddafy's personal name - well, then it is somewhat of a legal conundrum. To be sorted by either Gaddafy's victory, in which case it goes back to Gaddafy, or Gaddafy's defeat, in which case things will probably go into some international court of some kind. And quiter certainly, Goldman Sachs will still be unable to give this money any other destination.

On the contrary, he went too fast, lost control of the situation, and handed his head on a silver plate to the "West"...
