Drugs, Elites and Impunity: The Paradoxes of Money Laundering and the “Too-Big-To-Fail” Concept | Small Wars Journal by Arizona State University

This paper puts forward the thesis that the concept of “Too-Big-To-Fail” functions as a cover for the impunity conferred to financial elites in the United States in cases that also involve transnational organized crime, such as drug trafficking activities and drug-related violence. The authors...

Thanks for sharing. Some interesting info in there.

There’s a lot to unpack before you even get to the impunity.

So many Mexico related deaths/disappearances, didn’t know it was that many.

I don’t know if I want to get started on banking because my tinfoil hat will come on.

Good job on the article. I hope it’s read and something positive comes of it.

Jazz Spazz, thanks for the thoughtful feedback. I too hope something positive comes out of it. We will see.

Weird, that was always my first guess.

Anyone here want to fess up to banking at HSBC?

Or move your accounts out if you do to a credit union?

So no drugs on offer?

 

[Rubashov]

In the 80s we structured our economy around the four big banks, called the four pillars, based along the concept of TBTF and the consequences for the economy have been disastrous. Over lending has been a massive driver of asset inflation, the average house price is now 11 to 14 times the average salary. There was a Royal Commission into the banks and no banker has faced charges or repercussions from their predatory lending practices. At present I would guess that more money in mortgage repayments is going to the banks than to the government in tax revenue. The flow on effect is high rents, high property values and despite high wages low levels of disposable income and high levels of personal debt. I feel we're a couple of months away from what will be a very long recession.

Rubashov, your insights are sobering. Are you living in Australia? I don’t recall where you reside.

Yeah mate, in addition to that the banks are too financially powerful to be taken on by the Labor government for genuine reform. Also there isn't a heap that can be done, restricting lending (which is happening driven by the banks self interest and risk assessments) puts home ownership out of reach for future generations and significant measures to deflate the value of housing (ie peoples assets) is political suicide.

You are talking out in the open on a forum. There is a DM function.

I am Guadalupe and already discussed this with the editors of Small Wars Journal, John Sullivan and Robert Bunker. I reported this situation. I wrote the article with my colleagues Bill Yaworsky and Charles Lewis, and found this impostor in your network. I will send a DM to the impostor. This action is subject to a lawsuit. I am really not interested in your opinion on this matter. This is our work and we will not tolerate fraudulent statements / academic theft.
