In this post I speculated that the Real Government allowed only corrupt incompetents to run for US President as that way they could exercise control over them. Did something similar happen with sinister-looking Mario Draghi and the ECB? I mean, this guy is so mired in corruption and scandal (he is Italian after all) and so compromised by being a top Goldman Sachs capo, in a normal environment he'd have been run out of town long ago, let along be appointed President of the ECB.
Now in an interesting post over at Zero Hedge I see that more scandal is coming back to haunt him, this time from his time at the Italian Central Bank. In summary here's his record:
Mario Draghi, complicit and aware of the Greek currency swap arrangement, as a member of Goldman Sachs in the mid-2000s.
Mario Draghi, complicit and aware of various Monte Paschi derivative deals, as head of the Bank of Italy.
Mario Draghi, complicit and aware in rejecting Bloomberg's FOIA requests that would have blown all of these scandals wide into the open, as current head of the ECB.
And now, Mario Draghi, complicit and aware of at least one (and likely many) Italian window dressing derivative deals with one or more US investment banks, as Director-General of the Italian Treasury.
Yet no meaningful investigation has taken place. In fact he was promoted to head the ECB while most of this was in the public domain. Seems to me that should he ever step out of line, or harbour an independent thought, the Real Government will end the cover-up and unleash the hounds of hell. Pity poor Draghi if that happens.....
