Spreading Global Corruption - 2013 Quarterly Review

In 2013 many formally content nations are now fighting for survival while Parasitus Extraordinaria is fat, content and bloated, Sovereign nations have become abject victims of Parasitus Extraordinaria.

If establishing global economics networks did nothing else, they did create the most wondrous environment and habitat for the Corporate Parasitus Extraordinaria, a financial corruption blight which if not contained spreads faster than Floridian black mold in damp walls.

It came to light readily--global scope commerce and regional economic meshing provides the idyllic, quintessential parasitic paradise ever intentionally conceived.

In more sensible times, infection spread was somewhat contained by naturally formed, robust regional economies which served as containment to wild outbreaks of far reaching corruption, a barrier or firewall of sorts.

Removal of containment produced an epidemic of corruption never seen by humanity in the annals of commercial activity before, not entirely a surprise when one understands Corporate Parasitus Extraordinaria has usurped all governance and associated oversight, it has only one focus, self-enrichment.

2013 Bribery and Corruption - The new normal is upon us!

With tumultuous rivers of Trillion$ to spread contagion without impediment, global commerce infested faster than a virulent flesh eating disease and by 2013 the infestation had permeated every nook and cranny of commerce, stripping wealth at a mind numbing rate.

Eventually though--consuming the host entirely becomes self-defeating and so the process is being reinvigorated currently, surreptitiously--of course. This is the activity we saw in the first half, parasitic self-preservation gaged to preserve the globally enmeshed honey-pots.

Certainly, economic success for the world's population under unbridled free trade and open border policies cannot be viewed with any positive connotation, result demonstrates clearly... abysmal failure with horrendous social impact, at least for the host specimen.

Bribe Payers Index - Business As Usual

Fearing impending loss of its paradise a chilling realization prompted the Parasitus Extraordinaria to rethink infestation strategy, amidst angst of its host and mounting tensions against it, Parasitus Extraordinaria has mounted a media campaign against itself, hopeful the soothing words will lull its prey and continued good pickings can be preserved. Will the host succumb again?

How lucrative are the pickings? We may never know the full extent because detection has been spotty and inspections almost none existent or were performed in an encouraged cursory fashion. The spread of Parasitus Extraordinaria was enabled through these and other larcenous practices, referred to politely by elitist wealth grubbing parasites as "instruments";

• Conspired easy credit conditions
• Encouraged weak and fraudulent underwriting practices
• Intentional predatory lending
• Complicit deregulation
• Allowed increased debt burden or over-leveraging
• Creative financial innovation and complexity
• Intentional incorrect pricing of risk
• Contrived boom and collapse of the shadow banking system
• Manipulated commodities boom
• Tolerated systemic crisis

Applied tenaciously, these surgical instruments of wealth gouging yielded untold Trillion$ to the benefit of practitioners, at the cost and expense of untold victims. Although exposed as destructive activity no attempt has been made to curtail them, prosecute the perpetrators or otherwise apply deterrent.

Too Big for Jail! - Selective Law, for rich for poor!

At this moment the focus has shifted away from blatant wealth skimming, although it is still ongoing, to a strategy of replacing infested surfaces with a synthetic skin manufactured to resemble the original--that instrument is known as Quantitative Easing or its many variations, the hope being the scavenging cycle can be preserved and hence repeated again.

The ploy is to whitewash the infected surfaces having them appear as pristine.

The "Whitewash brigade"... a lot of sizzle, no bacon.

Predator economics knows no bounds.

The effect of QE devalues the worth of any original real skin, but that is the problem of the host not Parasitus Extraordinaria. It does not differentiate between the synthetic material and the genuine... it's only interest is in accumulation. The host of course finds itself increasingly impoverished since it's entire sustenance depends on the integrity of its remaining meager reserves.

At this point in time the symbiotic relationship of Parasitus Extraordinaria and its host hangs in perilous balance. 

Should the deceitful survival strategy of the parasite prevail then the host is doomed to continually being devoured. Should the thin and offensive dupes of the parasite be recognized for what they are, the host may in fact develop permanent immunity through ejecting its parasite.

Any weekend exterminator would know the inevitable conclusion... Too rotten to save.

My next update will deal with probabilities while exploring current developments...

More than 200 years ago, the great political thinker Edmund Burke warned that "among a people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist".
