People with lots of money tend to collect stuff. KDC just happens to collect WW2 memorabilia (and very fast cars). And purchasing a rare signed copy of Mein Kampf is a shrewd investment. It will appreciate in value long after the current stock market bubble wipes out the next wave of speculators.

Sol K, that sequence got even better when just outside the tent the Bros & Goldie got stuck into each other. That was mind blowing!
Good times...

John Key is a banker! John Key is a banker! Lalalala hey! Lalalala hey!
He answers to Wall Street and Barry O and the City of London. And until those 32% of NZers that think he's a good bloke lose their shirts in a stock market / bond / currency / property crash then he'll carry on his fascist way.
Expect many more dodgy law changes and back room deals to take place before the rape and pillage of NZ is complete.

Word of the year nominee: HOPIUM
Word of the decade nominee: TRUTHINESSThe former wouldn't be quite as addictive without without liberal sprinklings of the latter. Like two peas in separate pods.

The BBC did a great piece on how this all got started - How Goldman Sachs Helped Mask Greece's Debt.
The Greek economy was already behind the eight ball in 2000-2001 and they needed to show an improving economy in order to be welcomed by the EU. Golden Sachs offered them a (off balance sheet) deal they couldn't refuse - using a currency swap mechanism that "guaranteed" to reduce debt to GDP ratios.
Surprise, surprise... it didn't work.
And the ex-GS cronies running Europe are now busy changing laws to suit their masters.
With all the quants at their disposal the banks have created a financial system that is truly flawsome.
