Ferrous ions are everywhere, here

The Iron-y -- that *ALL* these mondo Top-Dog orgs. with CIEIOS who have themselves bent, twisted 'rules' Beast-style, to get where They Are:

..imagining ..for-THAT-long!
that this bunch of glib spielers could somehow materialize such massive proceeds -- from no visible (or even imaginable) sources. Worse: imagine their concluding that they need not Check On Anything because, surely
these fellow biznessmen could not be That Corrupt!! - -

(No 'quarterly report' ?? OK how about dissecting an ANNUAL?)
right on down to the internal dummy holding-cos trading bogus paper == The earlier CREEP show,
as unravelled by just a couple reporters (Committe to Reelect ... remember them?)
(Imeanweallshavebitofftruthiness,nowandthen -- but We Are all Honorable Men. (for various def'ns.))

I suppose this is why Doze is still King of the biz IT-heap - the CTO is a first cousin of the CEO, thrice removed. Got their MBAs from the same mail-order. Maybe it is (already?) pointless to talk about Enron; when corruption is such that ONE Arb can extract an ANNUAL bonus of ~One Hundred Million $USD - and that is called, merely "smart biznessman." One presumes then that Enron, in cozy meetings -- is dissed largely because they -

1) got caught. How perfectly matched to the methods and goals of the Cheney Admin.
2) brought bright lights, for a few moments, into How corps can so easily play this shell game and
3) made themselves, other wanna-be perps look Stupid, unable to do it even Better.
(Even new 'Regulations' don't mean shit, when the major players' largest attention is >on< simply, Not Getting Caught.) We are Rome, with transistors and more expensive chariots:

Only today Caligula is a 'we' -
that Top 00.1%; that 300,000 who extract as much of the Sigma-wealth as the 25? 35? 50 million (this year?) chattels at the bottom: all via manipulating abstract , obfuscated "financial instruments", via numbers utterly disconnected from anything Alive.

Enron? - which week will it disappear into the attention-span pit.
Like the S&L bailout: there will be no Corrections in a system with magnets under every roulette wheel - when it is working so well for those who Count, it must be 'conserved'.

The 'public ass' deserves a LOT of kissing at these rates of profit-skimmimg by the 1:1000 ('Course you imagine You will soon be a beneficiary of the same rulez - just any. day. next. Right?)

Stock prices are a representation of the wishes of the purchaser, they have zero intrinsic value of the companies assests. It would be like lending me 3 million dollars with no collateral then crying foul when I spent it all and cant meet the payments. After I return my leased benz and jag, get kicked out of the rental manse, you would collect nothing. This is the basis of the stock market.

At the very least, we can (could..) regulate dummy holding cos. as well as notice what replaces that dodge, and so on. We do not have to favor corruption, even though it can never be eliminated. You shovel shit against the tide, or eat it a lot earlier.
