Spreading Global Corruption - 2013 Quarterly Review

In 2013 many formally content nations are now fighting for survival while Parasitus Extraordinaria is fat, content and bloated, Sovereign nations have become abject victims of Parasitus Extraordinaria.

If establishing global economics networks did nothing else, they did create the most wondrous environment and habitat for the Corporate Parasitus Extraordinaria, a financial corruption blight which if not contained spreads faster than Floridian black mold in damp walls.

It came to light readily–global scope commerce and economy provides the idyllic, quintessential parasitic paradise ever intentionally conceived.

2013 Bribery and Corruption – The new normal is upon us!

With tumultuous rivers of Trillion$ to spread it, global commerce infested faster than a virulent flesh eating disease and by 2013 the infestation had permeated every nook and cranny of commerce, stripping wealth at a mind numbing rate, eventually–consuming the host entirely becomes self-defeating and so the process is being reinvigorated, surreptitiously–of course.

Certainly, economic success for the world’s population under unbridled free trade and open border policies cannot be viewed with any positive connotation, result demonstrates clearly abysmal failure with horrendous social impact, at least for the host specimen.

Bribe Payers Index – Business As Usual

Fearing impending loss of its paradise a chilling realization prompted the Parasitus Extraordinaria to rethink infestation strategy, amidst angst of its host and mounting tensions against it, Parasitus Extraordinaria has mounted a media campaign against itself, hopeful the soothing words will lull its prey and continued good pickings can be preserved. Will the host succumb again?

How lucrative are the pickings? We may never know the full extent because detection has been spotty and inspections almost none existent or were performed in an encouraged cursory fashion. The spread of Parasitus Extraordinaria was enabled through these and other larcenous practices, referred to politely by elitist wealth grubbing parasites as “instruments”;

• Conspired easy credit conditions
• Encouraged weak and fraudulent underwriting practices
• Intentional predatory lending
• Complicit deregulation
• Allowed increased debt burden or over-leveraging
• Creative financial innovation and complexity
• Intentional incorrect pricing of risk
• Contrived boom and collapse of the shadow banking system
• Manipulated commodities boom
• Tolerated systemic crisis
