    Rolling Stone calls Goldman Sachs 'The Great American Bubble Machine'

    Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression

    The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

    Any attempt to construct a narrative around all the former Goldmanites in influential positions quickly becomes an absurd and pointless exercise, like trying to make a list of everything. What you need to know is the big picture: If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy.

    a music magazine that unlike the rest of the ridiculous main stream media in America had the courage to do a full investigative article into Goldman Sachs. The full 12 pages long article is at the link below, try actually reading it first before being so flippant.
