Who's gonna win, JPM or the JPMs? Growing mountains of leveraged debt and corruption...or building mountains of PMs in the ground? Don't think the shares can go much lower.

Are Summers, Geithner, Bernanke and the advisory group of 30 going to trudge on doing the same old things that bring on even more of the same old results...or, are they smarter than we think with a massive dollar-default, hyper-inflation, debt-escape-hatch, gold-backed end plan?...all designed to save first, the banks and by default, the rabble.

Or, has the zeal to attempt to hide all sins and save the banks overidden all else in a high stakes game of winner takes all? Is it so bad that they think they cannot turn back?

So many questions. But, if you watched Geithner's response and demeanor yesterday, and the reluctance of the committee to go for the jugular....like, "gee Timmy, who gives a sh-t about your measely tax evasion caper? What we would realy like to know is if you are going to keep working the Rubin scam?" Then we see a shot of Geithner with Obama in serious discussion. Wonder if the new President really has a handle on this thing yet?

Is arrogance and fear shutting out all sense of reality in total denial of the facts? The ultimate judge and jury awaits their answer...Gold. They can pay now, or bail out for more time and pay later.
