Some vultures have feathers, but some have fancy offices and huge homes. Tonight, BBC investigative reporter Greg Palast follows the trail of one "vulture fund" chief, from a locked office door in New York to mud-brick houses in Africa.

US congress will not pass this type of legislation. The Rs in the senate would filibuster it because it because these vultures are part of the capitalist system.

Leo:

You are correct. The entire U.S. regime is owned by big business -- the banks above all, but Big Pharma, too, and Agric. Obama is simply and solely a house niggah for vested interests; so, too, all of Congress, both House and Senate.

America, rise up! Boot them all out: Hang them all on your votes.

As usual, Palast is right on the case. He needs to be supported to be able to continue this kind of investigatory work, which is sadly missing from our corporate media. It's a sad day when we have to learn about these scum from the BBC and Palast, but we shouldn't be shocked, for this is but a drop in the bucket of the mindless, greedy and inhuman element in this country who thrive on the misery of poor countries. Let's be glad for individuals like Palast, but let's not forget we have to help them with whatever resources we have.

"How are the mighty fallings, and the weapons of war perished" Some people are so heartless, that they want to make money, even if it's soaked in blood. Nemesis will catch up with them one of these days.
