The governments don’t rule the world. Goldman Sachs rules the world – Alessio Rastani: By The British Asian Blog.
Alessio Rastani dropped a bombshell on BBC New Live. The Jaws dropped of those in the studio and who were watching live feed. His frank assessment of who’s really in charge of the global economy. He further states 12 months from now everything will collapse and especially the Euro Market and that they are moving their money to safer assets – what hit me the most was this claim “This economic crisis is like a cancer … what I’d say to everybody is: get prepared … this is not a time right now [for] wishful thinking that government is gonna sort things out. The governments don’t rule the world. Goldman Sachs rules the world. Goldman Sachs does not care about this rescue package, neither [do] the big funds.” I feel as if I am watching the movie ‘Wall Street – Money never sleeps’ all over again.
If that wasn’t bad he further admits “If I see an opportunity to make money, I go with that … Personally, I’ve been dreaming of this moment for three years. I have a confession, which is, I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession, I dream of another moment like this.”
You need to watch this youtube footage of this.
So here we have it, an early warning from someone well connected, if after watching this video you are like me disorientated, nervous, livid and amused then consider this: What ‘if’ he is right or partially right can we sit back and ignore the storm ahead of us? No doubt the environment around us and especially in Europe seems to be heading for another double-dip recession, and to be fair I think worrying times lay ahead.

Well if only he tells what to do .. and how to make the money that would be a bonus tooo .. else like you i am getting nervous now …
worrying times are definitely ahead .. lets hope things get better ..
I do get a feeling the only people who will suffer from a double-dip recession are the middle and low class people. Not sure what impact this will have in South Asia but right now things don’t look that good
I would like to describe him in no more then three words but refrain from doing so.
There’s one thing Indian families know better then anyone and that is how to downsize on all things quick and stay happy with the basics, it’s in our DNA.
Hey Bikram dude, why worry about something that is going to happen (as states numskull on the BBC site), just see it as early preparation and get in as many takeaways as you can, like me 🙂
I think it true for most Asian families (mainly from South Asia), most live as if in recession is here already – but I guess there is nothing wrong with that so long as you provide security for family.
wouldn’t it be nice to take his pink poncy tie and wrap it round his neck and pulllllllllllll!!!!!
It’s true u can make money from this … but out of others peoples misery…
how do you prepare? people are barely coping as it is… some have hit rock bottom in the past few years.. the Govt. cut backs don’t help much either.. hike and prices, fuel prices and interst rates… borrowing has become practically impossible at the moment.. ridiculous
What annoys me is why is that other European countries like Germany manages to stabilise itself with a few tweaks here and there and the uk does nothing.. as soon as europe or america suffers we have to suffer too…
Good point Aneesa, Germany seems to be in a strong position. I was reading few weeks ago that Germany economy showed the largest growth in Europe. What ever they are doing, they are doing it well. British Empire has long vanished – those days are gone where British lead the way in all aspects of economy growth, right now it seems UK has become a follower and not a leader.
The German economy looks after itself better than anyone with discipline mostly. When they things are looking bad for them they raise their taxes for a short period.. get the country to do their bit… and then they all reap the rewards…
When companies can’t afford to keep on workers they don’t make anyone redundant.. simply they cut back their own working ours… reduce the times the company/factories are open and work with the unemployment office to help pay the workers wages.. so they don’t lose out… their system is simple yet effective…
Their health care system is the best in the world.. you won’t find anything like it anywhere… it’s privatised but everyone benefits from it and there is no rich person or poor person that has it better than the other… and there is no such things as waiting lists either…
I always say the UK could learn alot from them … but they only seem to be stuck in their own four walls of doom and gloom… change is not for us… that’s the message our govt sends out to us…
The idea of a double-dip recession is something everyone needs to fear…and for a long time. The effects of such a possibility are daunting, no matter where you live or work.
Indeed Ameena, the standard of life for everyone (middle class or wealthy) has dropped. One now needs to dig deeper into their pockets to maintain the standard of living they had before the recession. The cost of living/working has gone up. A female friend who works with me tells me since April 2011 her monthly train pass has increased by 40% overnight yet the service is as normal. So another double-dip recession will just simply make life too expensive to live.
Big financial institutions are holding the world hostage. If they think there’s enough profit to be made then you can be sure that they’ll do whatever they can to ensure another recession. Or if they stand to make more money by a recovery then they’ll do that. The livelihoods of others don’t matter to them.
