Goldman Sachs pursued an ex-employee to Germany that tried to sell a computer program GS is using. GS said, "Someone with this program can manipulate the markets." They should know, they've been using it for some time now. GS thinks we should trust that they won't use the program for that purpose.

Goldman Sachs sold their customers sub-prime loans, then shorted them, making a lot of money, knowing these instruments would fail.

Goldman Sachs is being "investigated" for helping Greece hide their financial position to get into the euro game. GS of course, bet against Greece, knowing their true position. A country devastated for the profit margin of Goldman Sachs. It is probably not the only country GS intends on robbing.

When oil went to $147 a barrel, Goldman Sachs released a report saying they expected oil to go to $200 a barrel. As the investors who believed them started buying oil, GS began selling all they controlled and shorting it, making huge profits.

Goldman Sachs has started approaching states in the US that are hurting for revenue, suggesting they sell roads and highways to private interests to raise it. GS will take their cut on any of these that fall for it.

It's clear that the banking system doesn't work for anyone except the banks. Time to scrap the banking system being used and come up with a new one.
