My recollection is that the private wall street banksters were lobbying

belongs to the people of Norway.

Norway invests all over the world in all sorts of things, Those
investments return real capital gains. The SS/MC funds are not really
invested in anything. There are just IOUs in the box and the
government spent the money on things that do not generate any income
for the government. They chalk up phony interest payments but some of
the money has to be borrowed from someone else when they actually have
to pay people the benefits they promise.


I suppose I should explain in pidgin English. I am not opposed to
investing. I oppose using the banksters in the USA to handle those

Let's see a picture of the motorcycle and odometer with a current

Right.

We wouldn't want any of your imaginary possessions to turn up under
someone elses ownership (like the red barn), or worse yet, from an
archived set of photos that someone else took (think Google images).

PS, you appear to be overworking the word "malook". You must have a
thesaurus laying around someplace. If not, there are several free
ones online:

Let's try one just for the fun of it.

This is odd. The Oxford English dictionary has no exact matches. Are
you sure that malook is even a word?

You think your 'Ducati' is *that* special? No one bothered your Maryland Red Barn, so why would they
be interested in your imaginary Ducati?

It's an Italian-American slang word, the "full" version of the word
"mook." It's in the urban dictionary, among other places.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mook

Mook is in the online Merriam-Webster.

It has several, similar meanings...the most common is "idiot."

Growing up when I did in New Haven, I had lots of friends of various
cultural backgrounds, including many Italians. In describing someone
like you, "malook" was a word that would have been used. Or "mook." It
had meanings back then beyond idiot...some of the WASPs were referred to
as mooks not necessarily because they were idiots but because they were
so "white bread." No decent "ethnics" back then ate Wonder Bread.

Once again, the Norges Bank belongs to the people of Norway. Banksters
they may be but they are not Citibank or Wells Fargo types of banksters.

Both Citibank (division of Citigroup) and Wells Fargo are publicly
traded companies on the NYSE.

That means stock owners own them.
