Re the third item, it is truly Kafka-esque in its suggestion, since Morgan and his cronies almost certainly engineered the market collapse of 1929, if not prior and later economic crises. Indeed, the idea of Morgan “protecting” us vis-a-vis economics is on a par with the idea of George Bush “protecting” us from terrorists (even if he was NOT complicit in 9/11).
