New Post (120) : A cryptic anecdote from Switzerland.
Here’s a cryptic anecdote for you to enjoy.
“C” approaches “S” with a bag load of money and asks him to “take care” of it for him.
“S” gives him a receipt with a number scribbled on it.
“C” goes away relieved and cheerful.
“S” invests the money and makes himself rich.
“C” meanwhile comes under the scanner and is investigated for the sources of his wealth.
“S” is contacted to enquire about any bag loads of money he may have received from “C”
“S” feigns ignorance.
“S” meanwhile continues getting richer.
“C” walks away unscathed from the investigation, as the investigation is dropped.
“C” and “S” --- --- --- gloat over their little game.
*** The lesser said about “C”riminals and about “S”wiss bankers………the better. Indeed.
What ? Are you missing the joke here ?
The joke my friend --- is on all of the rest of us.
Banking secrecy law is akin to a cloak of silk …on a pile of stinking garbage.
Can’t hide the stink.

Domodedovo may break our hearts, but will not break our collective spirit.
New Post (119 ) : Domodedovo may break our hearts, but will not break our collective spirit.
The world stands with Russia...as they come to grips with this tragedy...
News item from Moscow:
OPEN
A female terrorist 'opened a bag' at Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport, triggering a massive explosion that killed 35 people, a source said, adding: 'She was accompanied by a man whose head was ripped off by the explosion'.
Quoting a law enforcement source, that two terrorists were involved in the suicide bomb attack that also injured up to 180 people.
Both terrorists died in the explosion that ripped through the international arrivals zone at 4.40 p.m., as friends and taxi drivers were meeting arriving passengers.
CLOSE
1. Here is how these females are recruited to become -a “dreaded” suicide bomber /terrorist:
Male terrorists kidnap a girl and whisk her off to a hidden camp.
Starve her, beat her, use her---break her over a long period of time---till her spirit is totally completely utterly broken.
In short turn her life into hell. So even getting blown to bits seems like an escape from hell.
When at that point---she will do as she is told.
The one man accompanying her on the “mission” is a “minder”. Just in case she thinks on impulse on the spot about “changing her mind”.
This “equally tragic” side of ---the story of the female terrorist, almost always, never gets told.
2. My heartfelt condolences to all the Moscovites on this most terrible abhorable horrible tragic event……….May they succeed in finding the “PLANNERS” of this cowardly act.
They are the ones who ‘must” be found & I am “certain” they will be found.
