    I personally wasn't truly surprised till this mornings tape, which lead me to ask. Is this actually real? Mullah? Do top level bankers actually say stuff like that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,351 ✭✭✭NegativeCreep


    Does anyone have a link to the actual page on the website where the tapes are posted? Can't navigate the site whatsoever cause I'm thick.

    I'm worried though if, IF there is an investigation that it'll take forever, cost a huge amount of money and nothing will come of it.

    Thats what I was thinking. Who does Enda Kenny think he is kidding by trying to get an enquiry into this. He is only doing it to give immunity to his scumbag mates in Anglo while at the same time giving a massive payday to lawyers, all at the taxpayers expense.

    Any investigation into the banking crises will take at least 10 years, costs hundreds of millions of taxpayers money and involve the bankers giving the investigators the run around. It will tell us nothing we don't already know.

    The people involved should be criminally prosecuted, nothing else will suffice.

    Unfortunately not one of these scumbags know what shame or remorse is. I bet if you spoke to one of them today they would claim they did nothing wrong.

    They see it as playing the game, all is fair in love & finance, that people who are not in their position or similar & who criticize them... should... 'get a life'...

    The 1st 7-8 minutes is related to Ireland.

    The rest of it is about the USA.

    Max Keiser Video

    We need to get this guy to be Taoiseach. I wouldn't even mind getting him to be Dictator of Ireland!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭dirkmeister


    Is Max Keiser even his real name?

    It sounds a bit like...

    I'm going down to the Central Bank tomorrow morning with my arms swinging. I'm going to keep it really fcuking simple, just going to tell them “I want moolah, you have it and I want it. Have you written my big cheque yet."

    His whole body should be swinging ......... from a rope.

    I remember watching a german econmist on the late late not so long ago but I forget his name. Right before paying out a few billion. I wonder is it the same guy.

    I wonder is that mocking just being purely pissed off at Ireland and finding it baffling how we're not uprising to a massive scam and stitch up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 29,731 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    What he says about Pat Kenny and RTE and being thrown off the show for basically predicting the current farce is interesting.. if not exactly surprising! :rolleyes:

    I thought Kenny wants a Parliamentary Inquiry as opposed to a Tribunal, no?

    Doesn't a Parliamentary Inquiry just mean that politicians will be asking bankers questions, as opposed to hiring lawyers and judges to make a case?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 876 ✭✭✭RiverOfLove


    Hang on here for a minute. These anglo tapes have been with the government too, weren't they?

    How did enda and co continue paying out billions to bondholders knowing about these tapes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭ziggyman17


    All this proves one thing.. We are not fit to govern ourselves never have been and never will.. A country full of crooks, anybody with any bit of power in this country abuses the life out of their power..

    He pretty much said rte is a fcuking farce but sure we know that. Read back a few pages on plumberbuilders post and he wrote it well on corruption and the elite.

    I know, but I can't imagine the OTHER Kenny being best pleased about statements like that being broadcast outside these shores - it might upset his gig as Europe's golden child :mad:

    That's the bit that confused me today. Enda Kenny said the the Guards had the tapes for 4 years and then in the same breath says that the buck stops with the government and that he's going to "get them."

    Surely he knew about the tapes and now that the public knows about them he's trying to pretend like he's going after Drumm and Bowe and whoever else. Does he think we're stupid? This isn't news to him and he never did anything about it beforehand. It's seriously frustrating. I never thought about the extent of how we're being lied to until now and the reality is sickening.

    More chaps asking chaps questions..... and retiring to the Dail bar afterwards for a good larf at the ordinary plebs.

    He is tightly wound but very clued in. That woman, Stacey Herbert, is actually his wife.

    I'd say it's more a "hook" to be honest.. in the same way as everyone watches RTE football coverage to see what Dunphy will come out with this time! :p

    The Government should not be allowed to dictate what happens with this inquiry.
    They were silent for so long and denied knowing about the tapes.
    Does anyone seriously believe that the Garda Commissioner who is their appointed puppet didn't inform Shatter and his buddies about their existence and content?. Not a chance. (Remember Wallace's penalty points)
    They were obviously hoping the media wouldn't get wind of the tapes and I wonder why ;)

    The poor pets in the Dail lost their shop. They need their bar.

    Enda Kenny has really let himself down (again) with his reaction to the Anglo tapes. At best he comes across as a complete cowboy.

    But let's not fool ourselves. There are many many TDs and ex-TDs who went into Anglo for handy loans or digouts during the "boom" years. It's a can of worms.
