Goldman Sachs: The Wheel of Fortune & Blood Funnel

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

Here is the wheel of fortune of our times  

This map represents the connections and relationships of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Goldman Sachs International, Goldman Sachs Japan, Goldman Sachs Europe Limited, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies LLC, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Goldman Sachs (Asia) LLC

Below I will post a link to the interactive version where you can click on each of the boxes with a + sign and get more information and see even further connections. I will also post a list of all these many connections. I posted a smaller version of this wheel last night in Badabing’s diary, Matt Taibbi Pulls the Rug Out on Goldman Sachs – AGAIN… and am flushing it out for you all by request. Consider this a reference. I hope others will add to it.

Here is what the wheel looks like when expanded:

And here it is in it’s noctural form, the “great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money”. -Matt Taibbi

Here is the interactive version

or go here: Muckety

All you do is type in Goldman Sachs in the search field at the bottom, click go, and away you go!

MAP HINTS: Boxes with + signs can be expanded by doubleclicking. Solid lines are current relations. Dotted lines are former relations. For more options, right-click on a box or click on the map tools to the left. (Requires Flash)

This in an interview on France Channel 24 with the somewhat eccentric shall we say, Max Keiser. It’s a hoot and there’s a lot of truth in the debate. Plus, who can resist a Frenchman who says, “Hanky Panky!”

And Here is the Long Long List of Connections to be found on the Wheel. Again, if you go to the interactive muckety map you can open a new wheel of relationships to each.
