So I read this, and I got mad:

The U.S. Justice Department said it will not pursue criminal charges against Goldman Sachs Group Inc or its employees related to accusations that the firm bet against the same subprime mortgage securities it was selling to clients.

The decision not to prosecute Goldman, a firm held up by critics as a symbol of Wall Street greed during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, highlights the difficulty in prosecuting crisis-related cases.

“difficulty in prosecuting crisis-related cases” Isn’t that adorable? I wonder why it’s so difficult to prosecute these pig fuckers…

“The department and investigative agencies ultimately concluded that the burden of proof to bring a criminal case could not be met based on the law and facts as they exist at this time,” the Justice Department said in a statement late on Thursday.

Because the fucking banksters write the goddamn laws, and our worthless and corrupt congress cashes the checks and does what they’re told.

The Banksters own the American government, and until we take our country back from these motherfuckers, not a single one of them will ever face justice, because under the laws these sons of bitches have written, they haven’t done anything wrong.

Burn them all. Burn them to the fucking ground, and salt the earth where their ashes fall.

‘The department and investigative agencies ultimately concluded that the burden of proof to bring a criminal case could not be met based on the law and facts as they exist at this time,” the Justice Department said in a statement late on Thursday.’ This is simply the state constructing excuses out of the ether to allow the elite they serve evade accountability for their multinational economy-collapsing criminality. Those who pay for it, and the elite’s bonuses, bailouts, free central bank credit and tax cuts, are the millions of citizens suffering the despair and indignity of austerity, social immobility, mass unemployment and home foreclosures. In conclusion, we need a fucking revolution.
