Here is an enigmatic but informative article by Paul Farrell of Market Watch which harmonizes with my understanding of Tribulation and Antichristic prophecy:
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch 
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — 
Imagine 100 Goldman Sachs banks running America and the world. It’s happening. 
Forget politicians, Big Banks rule the world.

It was just a few years ago in “The Great American Bubble 
Machine,” a Rolling Stone feature, that Goldman was indicted by Matt Taibbi: 
“The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it’s everywhere. 
The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped 
around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything 
that smells like money.” 
Yes, till recently Goldman Sachs was boss, everywhere, the 
“world’s most powerful bank.” Taibbi: “From tech stocks to high gas prices, 
Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great 
Depression.” What an indictment. 
Today every bank in the world is a Goldman wannabe. That’s 
capitalism at its peak. All competing to be the world’s most powerful bank. 
Seriously, look around: Your world really is dominated by this amazing new 
innovation emerging from capitalism — a bizarre conspiracy of Big Banks, maybe a 
hundred Goldman wannabes. These new Big Bank capitalists are rewriting the 
history of the world. 
But we’re getting ahead of the story. Let’s review Goldman 
Sachs role in creating this new Big Banks Conspiracy. 
Goldman Sachs, now the role-model for all global Big Banks
In “The Great Bubble Machine,” Taibbi says Goldman was the 
mastermind behind every great bubble in American history since it was founded in 
1869 by Marcus Goldman and his son-in-law Samuel Sachs. Yes, one bank gets 
blamed for America’s amazing history: Bubble 1: the Great Depression. 2: tech 
stocks. 3: the housing craze. 4: $4 a gallon gas. 5: rigging the bailout ... and 
now the latest Bubble 6: Global Warming. 
Example: early on in this indictment, Taibbi focused on a 
chapter in John Kenneth Galbraith’s classic “The Great Crash, 1929,” titled “In 
Goldman Sachs We Trust” where the Harvard economist singles out Goldman’s “Blue 
Ridge and Shenandoah trusts as classic examples of the insanity of 
leverage-based investment. The trusts, he wrote, were a major cause of the 
market’s historic crash; in today’s dollars, the losses the bank suffered 
totaled $475 billion.” 
That’s almost a half trillion in today’s dollars, 
prompting Galbraith to add: “It is difficult not to marvel at the imagination 
which was implicit in this gargantuan insanity ... If there must be madness, 
something may be said for having it on a heroic scale.” 
That’s Goldman Sachs key to success, crazy like a big 
fox, a mad money machine, an awesome Bubble Machine, making history, dominating 
the world from America. 
Goldman Sachs mantra for domination: ‘Madness on a heroic scale’
Yes, Goldman Sachs’s reputation for over a century has 
been grown with this “madness on a heroic scale,” winning big because of its 
“gargantuan insanity,” constantly pushing the boundaries of ethics, integrity 
and morality while year after year since 1869 this “great vampire squid” keeps 
winning big. 
So Goldman Sachs is the gold standard against which all 
other banks must compete, the front-runner in profits and wealth creation, the 
role model that defined the moral code necessary for competing in today’s 
financial world. 
Goldman possesses a certain bold madness and borderline 
ethical behavior that today has not only been adopted by all its competitors on 
Wall Street but has also become the moral code running the collective brain of 
capitalists everywhere, corporate CEOs and Washington politicians. 
And today it is being rapidly adopted by business and 
political leaders across the developed world, wannabes all competing, fighting 
to be the next Goldman Sachs. 
 You just don't expect someone (Farrell pictured) from the Main Street Media to write something like the above article and get it published in Market Watch. That, in itself, boggles the mind like a contradiction inside of a contradiction inside of a contradiction.... RB
