In this article the author reviews the economy-crushing acts committed by key banking institutions to override laws controlling their activities in order to provide a framework for the upcoming investigation by Sen. Levin's subcommittee into the latest scam perpetrated by banksters. This review of recent history demonstrates the overwhelming power of these key players in the US ruling class.
However, the author is naïve to think that anything substantial will come from this investigation. The banking scandals and the continuing banking schemes are the natural development of the concentration of power derived from the concentration of wealth that is inherent in the system of capitalism. To stop these crimes against society, it will take nothing less that the power of the people energized to defeat the entire system.
