The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies.

<br />
Such as for example, the 1,000 trillion Euros/Dollars derivatives gambling debts of the bankers: debts which continue to grow as far as I am aware, and which are otherwise known as the "financial weapons of mass destruction".<br />
<br />
What is the point of having hugely expensive court cases (paid for by the taxpayer) if they do absolutely nothing whatsoever to address, and hopefully remedy, matters such as the Republic of Ireland's ongoing exposure to the huge global "financial weapons of mass destruction" problem? -- which a "Yes" vote on May 31st 2012 will undoubtedly (in my view) make much worse for the people of the Republic of Ireland, and the rest of the world.<br />

Yet another "bad bet", and another $2 billion more of bankers "derivatives gambling debt" ...http://www.indymedia.ie/article/101805#comment2898272012-05-15T09:15:29+00:00W.

<br />
"I've been waiting to learn more about the big JP Morgan Chase loss -- $2 billion and probably growing when a derivative bet went bad -- before writing about it. So after perusing this AMs papers, here are some thoughts:"<br />
<br />
"What happened?"<br />
<br />
"The bank invested in corporate bonds, then bought insurance as a hedge against losses on the bonds. The form of these insurance policies are those good old credit default swaps (remember them from the meltdown days?) where JP makes bets with other banks that pay off if the underlying bonds go bad."<br />
