Wall Street rides to the rescue as 11 banks pledge $30 billion to First Republic Bank.

It’s more like Wall Street shoots a bunch of people, rides their horse behind a hill and changes into a nurse outfit then rides back out again to the “rescue” of a problem and crisis they caused.

Why do people fall for this shit? The propaganda pipeline is so well-developed now. This is an example of a type of propaganda that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. That is, it’s the pernicious variety so ingrained that it no longer has to be promulgated. No, this propaganda lives right inside people’s minds already — so when another Wall Street failure occurs they automatically pen articles exonerating the actual guilty parties and painting them as the innocent white knights, ever blameless, riding to the rescue.

How the heck do your purge that from the body politic? It’s in too deep.
