Our Paranoid Would - Be Masters
"As Goldman Sachs prepared to announce its fourth quarter earnings and employee compensation levels yesterday, the bank had bomb-sniffing dogs and police barricades on hand at its New York City headquarters, the New York Post reports.
The decision to boost security as its offices was apparently driven by growing fervor over the bank's huge profits and bonuses. Yesterday, the bank announced that it earned $13.4 billion for the year, and set aside $16 billion for employee compensation. Goldman was widely expected to set aside approximately $20 billion for employee pay, but CFO David Viniar suggested yesterday in a call with reporters that the bank wasn't blind to the "pain and suffering in the world" and "wasn't deaf to the calls for restraint."

It's becoming altogether VERY obvious now why the criminals decided to destroy the WTC. Every time they have any kind of big meeting or public dog and pony show, they now have the excuse they need to turn it into a fascist activity, complete with the gestapo, neo-nazis, and brown-shirts everywhere about the event.
Pittsburg's event was most obvious. Now this. What's next? Will the Fed reserve be moved to a fortress?
Say what you will about Goldman Sachs, but the firm is helping those most in need, the poor unfortunates recently trapped under the collapsed rubble of Wall Street.
