"Whichever chicken sticks its neck above the others gets its head cut off."

Madoff's sentence is indeed nothing but an example, as rip-off business in general goes on as usual. The only thing about Bernie was his head stood out above the others.

The $$ taken out of Treasury since 2000 is what should concern us.

Bernie's just a sad distraction, think of what good puropse that $$ could put to work?

That's the real crime.

Barney Frank and the rest of the congressional gang brought down our economy - maybe 200 years for each of them!

NOBODY'S so stupid they could destroy the WORLD economy so quickly and efficiently BY ACCIDENT! New World Order, remember? Requirements to include massive unemployment, religious wars that destroy the political and religious power of the largest nation-states (entities that are all to be done away with) which can then be absorbed, catastrophic shortages to help drive wars to reduce Third World and useless (i.e. old, disabled, sick, etc.> First World populations, massive pandemics, compulsory vaccines (to get rid more more useless population and implant others), implanted ID's compulsory...

Any of this sound at all familiar? And really, do you honestly believe that with the formula for economic collapse so clearly worked and marked out by the Great Depression and by the IMF these past several decades that all of this could have happened by accident? And look at ALL of the preparation for internal rebellion against draconian measures to "save America": multiple spy agencies almost all focused on the US population, new super crowd control weapons and urban warfare training in a totally unnecessary (save for the training, mind warping and the oil theft and ME bases) war, militarized thugs wearing badges and tasing and occasionally murdering people who don't grovel well or quickly enough, random midnight murderous attacks on citizens by Gestapo-like unmarked cops in black purportedly after a fucking WEED, a government that totally ignores the "voters" with impunity, Stolen elections, secret laws, a president who changes his mind about EVERY campaign promise and position without repercussions, a useless (for news) MSM - come on, how much more do you need?

Sheesh!

Bernard Madoff can NOT fool a REAL JEW.

He is a KHAZAR, the people who made a nominal conversion to Judaism and have been giving real Jews a bad name every since...

WHAT IS A KHAZAR?

The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who dominated the Pontic steppe and the North Caucasus from the 7th to the 10th century CE. The name 'Khazar' seems to be tied to a Turkic verb form meaning "wandering".
NOTHING JEWISH HERE.

During the eighth or ninth century the state religion became Judaism. At their height, the Khazar khaganate and its tributaries controlled much of what is today southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan, large portions of the Northern Caucasus ( Circassia, Dagestan, Chechnya), parts of Georgia and the Crimea.
At some point in the last decades of the 8th century or the early 9th century, the Khazar royalty and nobility converted to Judaism, and part of the general population followed. The extent of the conversion is debated. Ibn al-Faqih reported in the 10th century that "all the Khazars are Jews." Notwithstanding this statement, some scholars believe that only the upper classes converted to Judaism; there is some support for this in contemporary Muslim texts.

Some researchers have suggested part of the reason for conversion was political.. Recently discovered evidence suggests that Judaism was the state religion by c. 830.
The Khazars enjoyed close relations with the Jews of the Levant and Persia (IRAN). The Persian Jews, for example, hoped that the Khazars might succeed in conquering the Caliphate. In an Arabic commentary on Isaiah 48:14: "The Lord hath loved him." "This," says the commentary, "refers to the Khazars, who will go and destroy Babel" (i.e., Babylonia), a name used to designate the country of the Arabs. From the Khazar Correspondence it is apparent that two Spanish Jews, Judah ben Meir ben Nathan and Joseph Gagris, had succeeded in settling in the land of the Khazars.
Likewise, the Khazar rulers viewed themselves as the protectors of international Jewry.
DECEPTION IN TRADE AND IN FINANCIAL MATTERS. READ THIS! HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN?

Trade
The Khazars occupied a prime trade nexus. Goods from western Europe travelled east to Central Asia and China and vice versa, and the Muslim world could only interact with northern Europe via Khazar intermediaries.
No Khazar paid taxes to the central government. Revenue came from a 10% levy on goods transiting through the region, and from tribute paid by subject nations. The Khazars exported honey, furs, wool, millet and other cereals, fish, and slaves.
THEY WERE SLAVE TRADERS!

D.M. Dunlop and Artamanov asserted that the Khazars produced no material goods themselves, living solely on trade.

Khazar coinage

The Khazars are known to have minted silver coins, called Yarmaqs. Many of these were imitations of Arab dirhems with corrupted Arabic letters. Coins of the Caliphate were in widespread use due to their reliable silver content. Merchants accepted them regardless of their inability to read the Arab writing. Thus issuing imitation dirhems was a way to ensure acceptance of Khazar coinage in foreign lands.( FRAUD. CURRENCY ISSUED WITH NOTHING TO BACK IT UP!)

BERNIE COMES BY HIS CORRUPTION NATURALLY.
