One of those, by the way, was JP Morgan.

But that's a real bank.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Yep, but they're involved in the shadow banking shit.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

So they are exposed to when they're like fucking $700 million loan to like a fucking, actually wait, which one was the $700 million?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

I think a $700 million loan that went under was the one that was to a subprime auto loan company.

Well, because the FDIC is insuring it.

So, Molly, this is the point where we need to bring debt the first 5,000 years back into this and emphasize the extent to which the financial class has always been deeply connected to the military and why it's always been deeply connected to war financing.

It's very bad.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

It's all very bad.

Behind the Bastards

And this is to some extent why... Part of what right-wing conspiracism about the financial system is...

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Is that, like, these people are, like, the right-wingers, like, these people are, there's, like, a baseline level of anti-Semitism, like, in the U.S., right?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Because it is a Christian society that is just, like, what fucking happens there.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

And these people are, like, okay, we can channel all of the anger at, like, oh my god, my fucking house got stolen by the bank because they were betting on the mortgage to fail.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

I still don't understand why that's legal.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Yeah, what all these right-wing conspirators do is they look at that shit and they go, oh, well, it was the Jews.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

And it's like, no, like, fuck off.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Like, these are all... No, it was the banks.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

Yeah, and the other thing, and this is actually a really important thing that's not well understood here, is that, like, the actual people who run these fucking banks and the people who work at them are all fucking white Christian dipshits.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

This is, like, a really, like, persistent issue that everyone fucking has, which is that, like, one of the great successes of anti-Semitism was, like, creating the image of the banker as a Jewish person.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 225

And no, they're not.
