On my show this week ON THE EDGE I ask the question, should Goldman Sachs be prosecuted for human rights violations? I have been in touch with famed human rights attorney Geoffrey Robertson who has agreed to discuss this hypothetical case on my show. My initial thought is that Goldman Sachs was guided in their human rights abuses just like Augusto Pinochet was during the time he was conducting deadly neo-liberal experiments on the population in Chile. The law eventually caught up to the Milton Friedman proselytizing criminal Pinochet and I think the law will eventually catch up with Goldman Sachs, but only if the prosecution venue is moved outside of the U.S.
Here in part 1 of my show ON THE EDGE I discuss the Goldman-Pinochet connection:

In part 3, after Kanjorsky mentions "going back to the 16th century" (at 2:40), is that you that whispers "Jesus Christ" or is it someone on the C-SPAN tape?! Either way, it was funny.
Can't wait to see the show with Robertson.
that he can be shut out like this.
Americans are losing their home and jobs they are dying from lack of heath care while Goldman is reaping obnoxious profits all at the cost of the working American People. This is not only Un-American it's criminal.
I found it interesting that Goldman did exactly what Cheney did with the New York Times when he was on Meet the Press -
He fed a New York Times Reporter that he believed Saddam had WMD, then when he was Meet the Press said, 'see, even the NYT a liberal left paper says Saddam had these WMDs' When he was the source of the report!
People need to spread these videos.
If Congress is protecting Goldman Sachs as it cannot distinguish between their fiduciary duty to protect people and conflicts of interest with the selected few, I would argue that it is time to remove the US government. After all one can assume a social contract between the people of the United States and the government where the people give up some liberties in exchange for protection. A failure of the government to secure rights is a failure which justifies the removal of the government, its agencies and officials.
