Lloyd Blankfein and Goldman Sachs are doing 'Satan's work'

“And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” – The Epistle of St. Paul to The Galatians, Chapter 6, verses 6-10.

In a revelation of ironically biblical proportions, Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, has told The Sunday Times that he believes he is doing “God’s work”. Others may disagree, but I find that John Arlidge, the credited author of this expose, spells out many tell-tale signs of what we are actually dealing with – pure evil, or Satan’s work, if you will – whether or not he ever intended to. Within that article, there are many examples which, when viewed in the full context of this report, demonstrate undeniable wickedness:

• The sub-headline reads “The Sunday Times gains unprecedented access to the world's most powerful, and most secretive, investment bank.” This outrageous statement validates the fact that God-given freedoms cannot thrive when there are unelected global powers operating with an undeserved cloak of secrecy.
• Arlidge identifies Blankfein as “Wall Street’s Sun God” – a pagan title that, even jokingly, should never be used to describe any powerful man, or woman.
• Blankfein admits he “understands that ‘people are pissed off, mad, and bent out of shape’ at bankers’ actions.” This quote is particularly important in relation to the forthcoming Catholic definition of evil.
• Anger-inducing sentences that will infuriate readers: “Bankers brought the world to the brink of bankruptcy and instead of doing the decent thing and jumping out of the nearest window, they turned up cap in hand to governments to hoover up taxpayers’ money to save their skin. Now, just one year on, they are carrying on as if nothing has happened, gambling, and winning, handsomely, with our cash.”
• Blankfein denies that Goldman Sachs “needed to be” bailed out by US taxpayers, but Arlidge notes, “sure, he took $10 billion from Washington’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (Tarp). But the bank has since repaid the cash, with healthy interest — 23%.” That’s nice, but how much has Goldman Sachs taken from the Federal Reserve, which is an absolute liability of US taxpayers? The Fed, a deceitfully sadistic organization, has ultimately refused to say, which is entirely unacceptable.
• Blankfein “insists we should be celebrating his bank’s success, not condemning it. ‘Everybody should be, frankly, happy,’ he says. Can he be serious? Deadly.” Interesting choice of words, Arlidge; are we foreshadowing anything at all?
• Arrogant exploitations of outright greed that will cause distress and backlash amongst financially-strapped readers: “Goldman Sachs isn’t nicknamed ‘Goldmine Sachs’ for nothing. There’s so much [money] sloshing around that in an average year a good investment banking partner will make $3.5 [million], a good trading partner $7-10 [million] and a management committee member $15-25 [million]. Some 953 employees got bonuses of at least $1 [million] in 2008. Blankfein may insist he is still a blue-collar guy, but he manages to have a $30 [million] apartment on Central Park West and a 6,500-square-foot home in the Hamptons, the summer playground of New York’s elite.”
• Outright blasphemy against Jesus Christ: “There may be arrogance at 85 Broad Street — behind closed doors, Blankfein likes to joke (but not really) that he has ‘attained perfection’”. This reference is utterly repulsive and its use here is categorically sadistic.
• Outright blasphemy against God Almighty: “Taking type-A people, making them feel like type-B people and moulding them into kick-ass teams that work every hour God — sorry, Goldman — sends, is important, no doubt.” This reference is utterly repulsive and its use here is categorically sadistic.
• In-your-face validation of this firm’s control over the US government, which by the power of the US Constitution (a living document that is, no doubt, inspired by God) belongs to the People: “Small wonder that another of Goldman’s nicknames is ‘Government Sachs’”.
• “Whatever alchemy it uses, one thing is certain: Goldman has dodged the credit-crunch bullet and is emerging from the crisis stronger than ever. To the victor, the spoils. But the patient might find cheating death easier than pacifying the public.” Foreshadowing, are we?
• Arlidge notes that Blankfein has “almost religious devotion to the dogma of finance.” You do the math.
• Finally, the most appalling act of outrageous blasphemy I have ever witnessed in my 26 short years on this planet: “Goldman Sachs, this pillar of the free market, breeder of super-citizens, object of envy and awe will go on raking it in, getting richer than God? An impish grin spreads across Blankfein’s face. Call him a fat cat who mocks the public. Call him wicked. Call him what you will. He is, he says, just a banker ‘doing God’s work’”.

My sincere hope is that as we witness horrid reactions to this nauseating filth – which, when coupled with other recent events, is very likely to produce great anger and hatred towards Jewish people – everyone realizes that certain writings are clearly on the wall for all to see.

More importantly though, before anybody even thinks about getting their knickers in a twist, you need to understand that, although I am a Christian, I am very proud of my Jewish heritage, and that fact will be further elaborated upon below.

As an unprecedented firestorm approaches, spiritually-prudent observers will note that, indeed, Mr. Blankfein has stated an absolute fact about his “God”; however, he knowingly fails to elucidate that his “God” is actually the Devil, a being that is also identified as Satan and/or Lucifer. Although there are many names for this truly dark and deceptive spirit, for whatever reason, I’m inclined to believe that Wikipedia nevertheless accurately portrays its existence:

The Devil is believed in certain religions and folklore to be a powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The Devil is commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. The Abrahamic religions have variously regarded the Devil as a rebellious fallen angel or demon that tempts humans to sin or commit evil deeds. Others regard the Devil as an allegory that represents a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment.

At the most primitive level then, the key argument here is that Blankfein and his organization are facilitating acts of evil upon the world; as the definition of evil remains unfortunately subjective, workers of darkness have been freely able to advance their demonic hindrances on all of humanity – that is, until now.

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia – which is, unsurprisingly, associated with a year that also established organizational malevolence – offers a straightforward connotation for the tenets of evil:

Evil, in a large sense, may be described as the sum of the opposition, which experience shows to exist in the universe, to the desires and needs of individuals; whence arises, among humans beings at least, the sufferings in which life abounds. Thus evil, from the point of view of human welfare, is what ought not to exist. Nevertheless, there is no department of human life in which its presence is not felt; and the discrepancy between what is and what ought to be has always called for explanation in the account which mankind has sought to give of itself and its surroundings.

Continuing, this narrative finds three embodiments of universal evil – physical, moral and metaphysical – of which two will be used to further validate the arguments brought forth by yours truly:

• Physical evil

Includes all that causes harm to man, whether by bodily injury, by thwarting his natural desires, or by preventing the full development of his powers, either in the order of nature directly, or through the various social conditions under which mankind naturally exists…Poverty, oppression, and some forms of disease are instances of evil arising from imperfect social organization. Mental suffering, such as anxiety, disappointment, and remorse, and the limitation of intelligence which prevents humans [sic] beings from attaining to the full comprehension of their environment, are congenital forms of evil each vary in character and degree according to natural disposition and social circumstances.

• Moral evil

The deviation of human volition from the prescriptions of the moral order and the action which results from that deviation. Such action, when it proceeds solely from ignorance, is not to be classed as moral evil, which is properly restricted to the motions of will towards ends of which the conscience disapproves. The extent of moral evil is not limited to the circumstances of life in the natural order, but includes also the sphere of religion, by which man's welfare is affected in the supernatural order, and the precepts of which, as depending ultimately upon the will of God, are of the strictest possible obligation (see SIN). The obligation to moral action in the natural order is, moreover, generally believed to depend on the motives supplied by religion; and it is at least doubtful whether it is possible for moral obligation to exist at all apart from a supernatural sanction.

The Catholic Encyclopedia also concludes that “it is evident again that all evil is essentially negative and not positive.”

In light of the aforementioned descriptions, and in order to properly – and fairly – condemn both Blankfein and Goldman Sachs, we must focus on direct actions that have caused undue suffering and negativity for all of humanity.

So, what “evil” acts – to name a select few – has Goldman Sachs committed?

• Goldman Sachs “secretly bet on the U.S. housing crash” and “peddled more than $40 billion in securities backed by at least 200,000 risky home mortgages, but never told the buyers it was secretly betting that a sharp drop in U.S. housing prices would send the value of those securities plummeting.” This is also known as fraudulent deception.
• Goldman Sachs, through its actions, has “left foreign investors holding the subprime bag.” The most frank assessment will demonstrate that a world war could ensue if these crimes are not properly rectified to the satisfaction of said foreigners and their respective governments.
• Goldman Sachs is “taking away people’s homes” and in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Becker, “Goldman declined for three years to confirm their suspicions that it had bought their mortgages from a subprime lender, even after they wrote to Goldman's then-Chief Executive Henry Paulson — later U.S. Treasury secretary — in 2003. Unable to identify a lender, the couple could neither capitalize on a mortgage hardship provision that would allow them to defer some payments, nor on a state law enabling them to offset their debt against separate, investment-related claims against Goldman.”
• Goldman Sachs has “engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression” and as a result, it has caused undue harm and suffering to millions of people that have lost their jobs, their homes, and in some cases, their lives.
• Goldman Sachs has willfully deceived and misled the public about its role as a partial beneficiary of $93 billion in backdoor bailout funds from AIG, which has caused “rage”.
• Goldman Sachs continues to funnel billions in bonuses, as unemployment and economic indicators continue to suffer, thus causing massive outrage among workers. Blankfein has previously been reported to be “scared to death about what might happen when the bonus numbers hit.”
• Goldman Sachs has committed blasphemy against the honor of Jesus Christ by allowing one employee to publicly suggest that Jesus would have “embraced greed”. The original report from which this sadism emerges has since been removed from the Internet.
• Blankfein has committed atrocious blasphemies against all Jewish people –particularly the descendants of those that suffered during the Holocaust – by allowing Goldman Sachs executives to claim that “anti-Semitism” is driving public anger over his firm’s actions. These actions represent pure and unmitigated sadism.

As it now must emerge, the last point is very important because innocent Jews are being collectively grouped with devious swine – people that, regardless of their religious affiliation, are dreadfully troublesome to humanity-at-large. Furthermore, as any fair observer will note, the aforementioned, evil acts, have surely been perpetrated by people of all creeds, and thus, it is entirely unfair to chalk this up to some “Jewish conspiracy”.

To wit, this is also a very personal matter: my great-grandparents, Samuel David Lichtenstein and Bessie Swieback Lichtenstein, were of Russian descent, and thankfully, escaped the horrors of persecution by immigrating to the US in the early 1900’s. They gave birth to my grandmother, Annette Leonora Lichtenstein (now deceased) in 1933, when innocent Jews across Germany – and later, all of Europe – faced unimaginable suffering because of their religion.

History also dictates that many other creeds suffered persecution during the Holocaust, so let me openly acknowledge this fact before any divisive scoundrels swoop in to further exploit unnecessary tensions.

I am a lifelong New Yorker, meaning that I have many friends – and close relatives – that are Jewish. I am very proud of this because they are good people with pure values that complement my Christian beliefs; furthermore, my Lord and Savior, Jesus, was himself a Jew, and this fact can never be forgotten.

If the Christian Messiah was Jewish, that means the Jewish religion is indeed pure at its core: I believe, in my heart, that this is true, regardless of what The Protocols of the Elders of Zion claims to suggest.

Now, before any critics emerge to state that I am merely functioning as a “Jewish apologist”, they had better get the facts straight: all actions are committed by individuals. Every nation, every creed, every ethnicity has suffered at the hands of – for the lack of a better term – “bad apples”. It is a sad reality, indeed, but we need to advance beyond childish, schoolyard tactics, if mankind is to survive.

In that regard, one shining example of a sadistic manipulation recently emerged from Ruth Madoff, a woman whose own lifestyle was doubtlessly funded by the pillaging of her own people – Jews. Please remember to keep that in perspective at all times.

Good Morning America recently broadcast that Ruth Madoff maintains “the gentiles are responsible” for the prosecution of her disgraced husband, Bernard, a truly abominable man that will spend the rest of his life behind bars. This outrageously misleading remark has since sparked a frenzy of outrage on the Internet, and if left unchecked, it will ultimately contribute to unwarranted anti-Semitic attitudes.

Ruth Madoff does not speak for the Jews. She, like her husband, is disgraced among the Jewish community; therefore, it is categorically deceitful to represent that her beliefs somehow shed light on the prevailing attitudes of all Jews. That ridiculous assumption is not, and shall not be true, ever.

Therefore, against the backdrop of all this, we are literally witnessing a final battle of sorts: good vs. evil, and the dissemination of truth, with the revelation of universal deceits.

Matters that were long considered too sensitive to “come out” – you understand – are now being aired in front of all of humanity.

Although this is somewhat painful, it will allow for the mass enlightenment of mankind in biblical proportions – which, in turn, will generate the resurgence of the Spirit of purity, honesty, goodwill and righteousness – a resurrection that is so desperately needed right now.

Most importantly, people must always remember that the mindset and actions of individuals are of far more importance than the respective methodologies that are employed to connect with the True Great Spirit.

Fear not, for humans have come way too far to allow for the ultimate destruction of His creations – the Lord is not mocked – this will not, and shall not happen. Good shall prevail. It is written. It is God’s will. His Kingdom shall be established, here on earth, and it need not result from unprecedented destructions.

Miracles happen. Divine interventions occur. All you have to do is believe and have steadfast faith in God. He will protect all that call upon His protection; do not allow fear to cloud your better judgment.

In light of these facts, many individuals are strongly encouraged to come forth and repent for their atrocities; seek forgiveness from God – so that mankind may serve you justice in a humane fashion – in lieu of the expected atrocities that many assume follow certain revelations.

Each of you will and shall be held to account for your actions; the final Judgment spares no one.

Therefore, the choice is ultimately yours: renounce your demonic behaviors or you may very well spend the rest of eternity in a pit of burning fire, glass and never-ending torture.

The Lord is not mocked; do not test His will.

Finally, before anyone even thinks about inflicting any sort of destruction upon the respective author of this piece, you would be very wise to read between the lines; those of you being called out now tend to trust in superstitions and other belief systems of some sort, even though you would never publicly admit to such.

Read between the lines. The Lord is not mocked; do not test His will. His protection is guaranteed for all those that call upon Him.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – for the future of the whole of humanity – let His reign begin, whether it begin in three days, three weeks or three years, it shall be, once and for all.
