it would be a good move if Babylon plans on selling hollow stones via sockpuppets.
nobody would see the difference.

I think the most plausible possibility is that politicians are just stupid/evil and are probably shorting clay to hell with Babylon federal reserve printed salt-money. ;-)
Lately would seem that bank/politician interests are far from the US American ideals of the constitution or just those of 50 years ago. They are knowingly destroying many industries (motor=detroit -> china) just for financial benefit/scam. So that politician linkage with their own country interest seem to be broken lately. You have just to read some politico.com articles to see that something fails.
site looks interesting, you can never have enough variation of news coverage.
