THE TRICKSTERS
August 23rd 2008 02:00
“Trickster” that word does not sound that bad, does it? Let’s try the synonyms: cheat, swindler, con-artist, charlatan, fraud. How’s that? The original term does not sound that good anymore, does it?
I suppose that’s how they often succeed in their trade and why a hell lot of people fall prey to their schemes. They, the Tricksters, know how to present themselves nicely. They are pretty much like the illusionists, magicians. They are able to make you see things the way they want you to see them and, sometimes, the way you want to see them.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being an illusionist or a magician. They can be very amusing, in fact. But then, they cease to be funny or entertaining when they use their tricks to blind you into parting with your hard earned capital.
They can be a little hard to spot as they take all kinds. Sometimes, they even take the form of well-respected analysts and advisors.
Without passing judgment or condemning anyone, let’s have a look at the most recent happenings that may have involved the kind of things and people that we are talking about in this link here. Really Long Link
