This idea had been lingering around in my head for a while now. It’s a satirical characterization of the current corrupted state of the western world’s centralized financial institutions and government. It centers on highlighting the relationship of the banksters composing the network of fraudulence at Goldman Sachs and their puppet show in Washington politicians.
It is well-known that the US government and banking system has been converged so that the edifices of power can retain that power by any means necessary. Often times those means are deceptive, if not all the time. One of the mechanisms of deception our puppets and financiers in Washington use is the “revolving door policy.” This essentially means that top officials in office never really go back to “normal life” as prescribed for politicians by the founding fathers of the US. They just revolve through the doors of deception and perception in and out of the White House of mirrors so as to make it appear that they go back to “normal life.”
It is said that once a person gets a taste of power, they never want to give it up, and, if they have to give it up, then they will do anything to get it back. So people in politics and finance never leave office or positions of authority. They just revolve through different states of fraudulence. While Jim Cramer may not be a figure who revolves through the doors of Goldman Sachs and Washington, his image reminded me of Lloyd Blankfein, a CEO of Goldman Sachs. They both have balding heads, and both have that flimsy fang-hiding financial grin.
The fact that banks invent debt out of thin air in order to financially enslave millions of people across the world to them, I found the symbol of a balloon to be quite applicable to them. They try to expand economic growth with debt, not realizing that a more mercurial concept called economic confidence, is what actually stimulates economic growth. I don’t want to get into the details of these factors because their ramifications go on and on.
I thought of putting a suit around a balloon so that its head expands out from the neck of the suit’s shirt, thus making the suit float from the helium in the balloon. I thought of making several of these suited balloon bankster-politician dolls, and attaching them to a rotisserie type machine that would revolve. This idea would be part of a bigger idea in which they would be displayed in a museum of natural deception, politics, and satire.
The pant legs and shoes of these precarious jokers and liars are getting all dangled up as they revolve, thus symbolizing their increasing inability to walk on ground and have normal relationships with real people anymore.
