Jews and the 2008 Financial Collapse: A Book Review of Michael Lewis' 'Flash Boys: Cracking the Money Code'
A Book Review of Michael Lewis, 2015, 'Flash Boys: Cracking the Money Code', 2nd Edition, Penguin: New York
When I picked up Michael Lewis' 'Flash Boys' in order to read it; I must confess that it was a whim. I happened to be in a large book shop and decided that it might be interesting so I purchased it. I wasn't disappointed in the choice either as the book is engaging written in the narrative style following the exploits of Brad Katsuyama - a Canadian employee of Japanese heritage on Wall Street - in his crusade to reform the behaviour of the major banking houses and the high-frequency trading (HFT) firms (1) that were effectively stealing from their customers.
Lewis - who himself formerly worked on Wall Street for the jewish firm Salomon Brothers - documents the battle that Katsuyama and his (almost entirely) non-jewish colleagues waged against Wall Street banks and HFT firms. He discusses the creation and use of dark pools - basically private non-transparent/non-regulated stock exchanges - the biggest two being operated by Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. As well as how stock purchased inside these dark pools was used to defraud the actual investors to the financial benefit of Goldman Sachs, HFT firms and the ilk.
'Flash Boys' is extremely engaging and yet utterly shocking in both the complete cynicism and lack of moral scruples on display. As Lewis observes the behaviour of Wall Street in its quest for short term profits and personal bonus regardless of long-term cost or ethical implication undermines the very credibility of capitalism itself. After all if financial markets cannot be trusted to self-govern via the mechanism of supply/demand and competition then it calls into question the viability of the system itself or at very least requires the presence of external arbiters to the market to prevent such destructive behaviour.
This destructive behaviour is interesting to us precisely, because of how overwhelmingly jewish the actors in Lewis' book are.
You have the leadership of the major banks - such as Goldman Sachs of course - but you also have the HFT firms who seem to have overwhelming number of jews involved in creating and managing them as well as being responsible for the advanced computer coding (for example Sergey Aleynikov), which forms the wealth creation mechanism for HFT firms.
Then you have specific jewish figures that Lewis mentions such as:
Bill Ackerman (of Pershing Square)
Danny Moses (of Seawolf Capital)
Mike Gitlin (of T. Rowe Price)
David Einhorn (of Greenlight Capital)
Dan Loeb (of Third Point Partners)
These fives jews alone have a net worth of several billion dollars, while they control a combined capital figure of over a trillion dollars.
If you ever wanted to know what we are up against; this is it. The jews in the United States control trillions of dollars and - if research on the Israel Lobby is anything to go by - they aren't even using a large part of it at the moment.
'Flash Boys' isn't a book that is explicitly written about jewish power and corruption on Wall Street, but it may as well be from the amount of jews who make an appearance and their behaviour. It is a fun read, but also a deeply, deeply disturbing one.
Read it, weep and then start doing something about it.
