Now the day has come to witness the biggest financial crisis of lifetime. Citibank , Société Générale, morgan stanley and all other top banks across the world are taking nosedives. Do we blame these losses to some bad debts written off or lending off mortgage funds, some hedge funds blown up or to the most extent a rouge trader???? Think again!!! We are dealing with world’s biggest losses in banking which took down the biggest names in a century old history. And I suspect it’s not just a few human error, it’s a deliberate attempt to wipe off the wild- wild west’s enormous wealth!! But it’s simply not “oops” resulted in a loss of billions of American dollars, but whatever it is, certainly remains a “million dollar question”!!!!
Here’s an outlook to the impact of this financial mess!!!
A departmental store in Baltimore,
Two men in black mask enter with a glock and .22 gun. One can easily hear the noise coming from the TV placed somewhere on the shelf. A newsreader is talking about the loss which the banks in America have made as the result of sub prime woes which certainly makes no sense to either of the guys.
One of the masked man swiftly points the gun on the owner of the store.
‘C’ : enough watching news!!! Time for business, get the fucking cash register and hand me over a few hundred dollars.
Owner: hey, stop! Take it easy, I’m bringing.
‘C’ : then bring it fast, no funny business. ‘D’ would you help me burying his whole fucking family alive if this motherfucker reports this to police???
‘D’ : my pleasure!!
Times square, Newyork city,
A woman in mid 30’s strolling along the busy road, talking on her cell phone. From her talk looks like she had been in some brokering firm.
Woman : “ I don’t know, it must be another long day, I stood there like some beggar asking for money!”...... (pause) “ yes I told him to place his bets on yahoo!, it’s gonna surge, anyone of them will take it over, but I don’t know what went wrong!! Son of a bitch keeps making me calls asking for his 40 grands. … a wait for another voice on phone…………” yeah looks like I’m done”!!!
While on other side of the road a black guy of 16 is staring at the woman, above him a giant screen is displaying the live plummeting stocks of different companies and clearly this guy has got nothing to do with it. He waits and looks for the right time to make his move.
Woman : “ok maria, I feel good whenever I talk to you. Take care, bye”
….!!! “Ah”! ( the guy makes the move and runs away with her handbag)!!!
Woman : “ stop u little bastard!!! Oh man!!! (in disgust). And now this guy steals my purse!!! God what the hell are you doing to me?? Looks like I have to go home on foot!!
Washington D.C
Two pentagon officials talking on a secure private line.
General Hoggard: “ yeah, this thing came to my attention. He was a creepy little bastard who forgot his limitations. I should have provoked him to pass the resolution, but all you have to do is to save this for your meal.”
General Sheffered: “ all I have to do is to save my ass. Don’t you know they identified one of the spokesperson for the banks was involved?? Goddamn!! Even thinking of him gives me shivers!!!”
General Hoggard: “ get the hell out of here there’s no way we’re gonna get caught.”
General Sheffered: “ I suppose”
Paris, France,
Before the quarter ending meeting outside the soc gen conference room a Frenchman talking to an American delegate.
Frenchman: (in a heavy French accent) hello Mr. frank, I can understand we are losing the trust of our people.
William Frank: yeah the way both of us have behaved in public, what on earth they are going to do?? Losing faith is all they have!!!
Frenchman: oh you are absolutely right. Don’t you agree we both are in the same boat. Afterall I find France somewhere relative to America!!
William Frank: (smiles in affirmative)
London, England,
A blonde with a pale yellow face holding a 9mm gun is talking to herself. From her body language it clearly looks her past days gave her a bitter feeling of disappointment. She’s on the floor and just ahead of her on her TV, Ben Bernanke, the current Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve is addressing different nations simultaneously through satellite broadcasting.
Blonde: “I thought I’ll go to London and start a whole new life, but everything blew up!!!! (sobbing) now I’ve decided what I have to do. (holds her gun tight and points on her head).
Suddenly on her TV Ben Bernanke’s speech gets her attention…..
“……… and for the time being now, we have taken a lot of precautions and therefore, we hope the condition in American housing market will improve. The subprime fear will be over soon and other economies will also take a breathe of relief with this decision. In last few weeks………..”
blonde: “ u were absolutely right John, I’m another victim of subprime woes."
And without thinking a moment further she shoots and her body falls on the floor blood coming right from her head.
Buenos Aires, Argentina,
In a motel room Munez, a guy from American origin is in his bed with his cousin sister. But does he really bother sleeping with his cousin sister?? Sure another corrupt teen. On the TV Bernanke’s speech is going on without any interruption. Suddenly he listens to the speech and glues to the TV.
“………… yes we did take a lot of measures to save the American economy from falling into a recession. We cut the key rates by 75 basis points and it was not even a month we slashed it again on January 30 at the fed meet by 50 basis points. As a result of which stock markets across the globe jumped with a positive approach including Dowjones. And we need to make………..”
Munez: “it had to happen, they all have advisers from across the globe some Europeans, Africans and some asshole Asians. They all fuck up and bring different strategies. You know it’s the same story of too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the food!@!!! Only Americans should be appointed with these sensitive posts. Don’t you agree dear???”
Cousin sister: “ when you are in the bed. I bet no one can do it better than an American does!! Get the pills!!!”
Munez:” when you’re here who needs a fucking four hour hard on pill???”
Love making starts again
Barcelona, Spain,
A black Muslim guy is watching the Bernanke speech on TV. And his curiosity is not simply because of being a scholar, he’s one of them!!!
Jose Abraham: “ who needs to bomb the financial markets again???”
Tikrit, Iraq,
the top Al-Qaeda operative in baghdad, Al-Masri is talking to his aides-
Almasri: "in this war Allah is with us. have you all come to know the financial mess all over the world??
saed: "we did ur majesty! they all are going to die."
Almasri: "do not underestimate your enemy. they still have a lot of money, big enough to buy half of the world."
Moscow, Russia,
Ben Bernanke’s speech finishes with an applause, the crowd which was watching Bernanke speech at a sandwich shop started to disperse. Most of them were keen buyers of stocks and they all used to watch every public announcement made by any news channel or a leader. This was their usual stop for talking shares and stocks. Two friends started to share their views.
Vlad: “no doubt this Jerome Kerviel has got over French nerves. How come a guy can ruin a bank of this big prestige???”
Mikhail: “ you better ask him. All I know that man cost soc gen a $7.2 billion loss. He is a rouge trader, let him die in prison.”
Somewhere on earth,
A man is addressing a group of most powerful people from different nations.
Chairman: “ I think there is no need to tell what has happened in recent weeks, everything is going as planned. But I’ve called all of you here to discuss this “Jerome Kerviel”. Do all of you think we should take him out of the prison earlier?? A?”
A: “no”
Chairman: “B?”
B: “no”
Chairman: “C?”
C: “yes”
Chairman: “D?”
D: “no”
Chairman: “E?”
E: “no”
Chairman: “I vote 'no'.What we are doing the world will come to know tomorrow. Go ahead with the plan. Thank you gentlemen."
