Sociopathic financial political criminals, Really who are they?
Excellent question. Did you watch that program I gave in this post below?
Click Here for Post & Click the Link Called The Warning
Read that Book or Get the Audio on "The Sociopath Next Door". It's in the torrents as .PDF or Audio, or order from Amazon, etc.
Sociopaths are extremely difficult to detect, unless you've had to deal with them & were duped & become their victim.
Greenspan turned-out to be a sociopath for certain, imo, because he believed in an ideology-religion by Ayn Rand and applied it to the entire economies of the world. Greenspan implemented a firm policy to reverse previous financial regulations with deregulation & zero regulation & zero enforcement & zero criminal investigation in the largest market in the history of mankind beginning in the early 1990's known as the OTC Derivatives Market. He discounted
the certainty that dangerous Criminals exist at any level of social strata, and that dangerous criminals & sociopaths are likely a high percentage in areas where fraud is given more possibility to exist. Greenspan willfully protected "his kind" & "his philosophy" & cultivated a "group think" to keep a 595 Trillion dollar market by 2007 unregulated & unenforced by criminal investigation
REPEATEDLY.

He is a fool & an arrogant sociopath to have ever gone down that road of putting in jeopardy 100s of millions of lives around the world.
Furthermore, Greenspan put the USA in extreme danger in terms of National Security, because there are active enemies that would attempt to destroy our nation's financial foundations & economy. Greenspan gave these enemies of the state, within & without, the green light to proceed. 911 is likely to have had substantial financial attacks on the USA inside that Black Box OTC derivatives market too.

Of course, Greenspan was the Cult Leader of this Rand ideology-religion, as he was put into the position of ultimate power to implement it, and that infected the top insiders in the Financial Markets & their political supporters they controlled too. (For example, Phil Gramm was a Senator & major supporter of Greenspan & the financial elites. Gramm is a sociopath, imo, too.)
This "hate the government" movement combined with Ayn Rand's connection to Greenspan
was primarily advanced by President Ronald Regan in our recent era of politics. It is Reagan that appointed Greenspan in the most important financial position in the World. The Cult of Greenspan would be worshiped as the new financial religion of "hate the government" & free the financial markets from the slavery of regulations.
Pres. RONALD REAGAN: Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.
From the program I referred you to:
AYN RAND: I'm challenging the moral code of altruism.
NARRATOR: the Libertarian philosopher Ayn Rand.
AYN RAND: Everybody is enslaved to everybody.
JOE NOCERA, The New York Times: Greenspan is a disciple. She is the great champion of government as a destructive force that just gets in the way.
MIKE WALLACE, 60 Minutes: Can I ask you to capsulize your philosophy?
AYN RAND: I am opposed to all forms of control. I am for an absolute laissez-faire, free, unregulated economy. Let me put it briefly. I am for the separation of state and economics.
NARRATOR: Greenspan talked about Rand in his autobiography.
[Alan Greenspan, The Age of Turbulence: "Ayn Rand became a stabilizing force in my life. It hadn't taken long for us to have a meeting of the minds mostly my mind meeting hers."]
NARRATOR: Rand stood in the Oval Office as her star pupil was sworn in.
DAVID WESSEL: Greenspan had a very clear ideology about regulation.
HENRY KAUFMAN, Dir., Lehman Brothers, 1995-'08: His philosophy was in the form of what was called Libertarianism. And that meant those who do well prosper, those who do poorly fail, and the market clears the transactions.
NARRATOR: It was a philosophy made to order for Ronald Reagan.
Pres. RONALD REAGAN: Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.
NARRATOR: In 1987, Reagan made Greenspan the most powerful banker in the world, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
JOSEPH STIGLITZ, Sr. Clinton economic Adviser, 1993-'97:
Greenspan was a believer in Ayn Rand, a believer in free market. A little bit curious for a central banker, because what is central banking? It's a massive intervention in the market, setting interest rates.
NARRATOR: Greenspan worried about this contradiction in his autobiography.
[Alan Greenspan,The Age of Turbulence: "I knew I would have to pledge to uphold not only the Constitution but also the laws of the land, many of which I thought were wrong."]
[Alan Greenspan,The Age of Turbulence: "I had long since decided to engage in efforts to advance free-market capitalism as an insider, rather than as a critical pamphleteer."]
DAVID WESSEL: He understood that there were laws he had to enforce that he personally would not have passed. But
he intended to do as little as he could on regulation, and he proceeded to do just that.
deVries/me: Greenspan begins to protect an unregulated unenforced 595 Trillion dollar market that's the biggest in the history of mankind...
INSANE

This describes Born's first meeting with Greenspan...
MANUEL ROIG-FRANZIA: How could you not have a little bit of butterflies in your stomach when you're going to see Alan Greenspan at that moment in time?
NARRATOR: It didn't take long for Born to learn that she and the chairman were not going to see eye to eye.
JOE NOCERA: He said something to the effect that,
"Well, Brooksley, we're never going to agree on fraud." And she said, "Well, what do you mean?" And he said, "`You probably think there should be rules against it." And she said, "Well, yes, I do." He said, you know, "I think the market will figure it out and take care of the fraudsters."
INTERVIEWER: The Alan Greenspan lunch did it actually happen? Where he says...
BROOKSLEY BORN: I'm not going to talk about it. I'm not going to talk about it on camera.
NARRATOR: Born is reluctant to speak about her meetings with Greenspan or others in the Clinton administration. Greenspan refused to speak to FRONTLINE at all. But Born's advisers did.
MICHAEL GREENBERGER:
Greenspan didn't believe that fraud was something that needed to be enforced, and he assumed she probably did. And of course, she did. I've never met a financial regulator who didn't feel that fraud was part of their mission.
MANUEL ROIG-FRANZIA:
And this is an absolute stunner for the new head of this tiny agency who is charged with making sure people don't commit fraud.
NANCY DUFF CAMPBELL:
Well, I think she was taken aback about how far he would go towards deregulation, that even the notion that we should police fraudulent activity he didn't think was something that was a given.
This just proves what a complete idiot Ronald Regan was too.
