Are We Preparing for War with the Cayman Islands?

Posted: 01/26/2012 4:35 pm

In a hangar in a secret location a corps of specially-trained auditors and CPAs are being prepped for the fight of their lives.

They are being led by highly-trained actuaries with orders to amortize first then ask questions later. (It is a little-known fact that actuaries have their senses of humor surgically removed when they pass their 9th exam.) These guys mean business.

Their target: The Cayman Islands.

Even though the fear-of-physical-activity gene was implanted in each one of these troops upon completion of the CPA exam, these intrepid pencil pushers are planning to parachute under the cover of a bank holiday into the Island that holds the Capital Gains for most of the world's wealthiest investors.

Their mission: GET OUR FRIGGING MONEY BACK.

Since the Cayman Islands have secured so much American capital it is necessary for the Obama Administration to take steps to recoup the TARP, the stimulus, and the moral compass of the Republican Party. (The moral compass is reportedly stored in a warehouse close to a bad imitation Philly Cheesesteak stand on one of the beaches.)

As the government doled out cash to fat-cat after fat-cat, these guys took our money and ran with it.

Reports are that the fat-cats are sitting on the cash in the banks on these islands. Even though the money is a little stinky from these people sitting on it, it needs to be unleashed here at home.

If even one trillion dollars (that is written $1,000,000,000,000) of the cash tied up in the Caymans can be released for its original purposes; investing in American infrastructure and the American people, it will mean President Obama's reelection.

Romney Co. will not allow that to happen. Allied with his subsidiaries, Newt Inc., and Group Santorum (please, do not Google that), these forces will do everything possible to take down these soldiers of a different intelligence.

Once auditors can getg through the thicket of bank regulations and international law to reveal exactly how much money Mitt Romney has holed up in these banks, it will be worth the sacrifice.

There has to be major change in this country to get a grip on this. I think it should be a Federal crime to conceal all that money just so you don't have to forfeit a little income tax on it. This deplorable practice of the wealthy is one of the major things that have ravaged our great country. Mean while we can laugh about it. Your article is funny and I like the comment about their money is now "stinky"; the only thing is they won’t get it because they think their behinds don’t stink.

This is the "war" behind the scenes? Like ANYONE on Wall Street is going to just let that happen. Our only hope is the "occupy" movement will take off come springtime. Seems the only way to garner attention is being an unavoidable visible presence with a very loud voice. If we can force the MSM (remember they are invested in maintaining the status quo) to actively participate in the revolution can real change be realized.

I am looking for someone to write and produce a song.
Remember the flick "Wag the Dog" where we all get ginned up over a fake war?
Willie Nelson composes and performs an anthem for the whole thing...

This is the fake war of 2012.

If you know someone who wants to take a shot at this, let's have some fun...

Brilliant satire! Just one question for Romney. Why would anyone want to elect someone for the highest position in our country when that candidate is not fully invested in our country?

I can just picture this Number Crunching Special Forces and what is out there for them to retrieve. They'll have to include search for trusts and false identities in their audit plans as well as piercing corporate veils. Sounds like great fun!

Great article, Joe! Can we simply name these multi-millionaires and billionaires as terrorists and freeze and/or seize their Cayman Island and Swiss bank accounts? At the very least, they are enemy combatants with the ultimate goal of turning the USA into a plutocracy.

Wow I kind of hoped none of it was true. I am slowly becoming more disillusioned with the wealth seeking game everyday for it seems to fill one's pockets and empty out one's soul. Thank you for responding to my post. Peace.

So could less than honest Americans take money made by their companies, avoid taxes, and hide the money in offshore accounts maybe?

With the amount of money being stashed on the Cayman Islands it's amazing that they don't sink.
