Yes, the curse of the word-phreak has struck the International News
desk, and with philosophical and numenous [sic] if not religious,
intensity. Making sense of it all, as always, goes back-and-forth like a
see-saw, ending (or beginning) with true identity of the enigmatic
Jerome Kerviel.
BTW - to the word-phreak, Dubai is this strange little oil-poor, but
asset-rich, emirate on the Gulf (both Persian and Texan, by abstraction)
which is pronounced the same as its essential mandate: Do-Buy. The Emir
is one Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (pronounced Mock Tomb). You
can probably guess where he was educated.
Kerviel is the so-called "rogue" trader (or scapegoat) who is taking the
heat for the recent French banking scandal ... which is becoming a story
with many far-reaching tentacles- there are whispers of Halliburton, a
secret CIA-Clique (reminiscent of the Star Chamber), the Bin-Laden
option"trades", secret infiltration of the European banking system by
ArAms, and it all may eventually get back to our beloved (and
aptly-named) "Vice" President.
Keep you eye on this site for upcoming salacious details:

BTW an "ArAm" is short for ArabAmerican, which is more an earned
distinction, based on avarice ... more than anything racial or ethnic.
It comes from the former 'suits' of this outfit, which is now the
largest corporation in the World, Exxon notwithstanding:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramco
They (ArAms in general and Aramco in particular) actually have far more
net wealth than the entire United States of America ... which recnetly,
under the watchful anti-terrorist-eyes of the Bush Admin, has sunk to
become a net-debtor nation. (no exaggeration)
To continue into the numenous. "Cur" refers to a dog, usually of "mixed
ancestry" shall we say. In common usage, even in the USA, the term is
derogatory, but to a Muslim, for whatever reason, it is almost a worse
than the common ghetto insult (which involves misdeeds performed with
one's mother). We all know what a veil is. It has Islamic overtones as well.
Now "nomen est numen" to one Brutal degree or another, and this
particular pundit has always been fascinated by "names that work" (in
the tradition of one of the great unsung American journalists - Herb Caen)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Caen
... but more to point, is Kerviel ... hmmm... a long stretch for being
fingered as the Veiled-Cur, operating for the benefit of a sinister
Clique, which exists within, but apart, from elected office?
A hipster lyricist named Stuart Davis, with no (obvious) mention of
Halliburton (or Cheney), wrote a Dylanesque song called "Asshole World
Renown" which expresses the growing sentiment towards the last horrific
8-years of Treason, and Corporate over-indulgent coddling... over which
some warped persona (or tightly knit group) with strong Dubai ArAm
connections, has been orchestrating events, for their own financial benefit.
Stuart describes his musical style as 'Post-Apocalyptic Folk Punk Rock'
or 'Dharma Pop'. He has not sold very many records, but there is a
certain amount of warped poetry in his lyrics. FWIW he is also a member
of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute.
Here is a sordid sampling, which is dedicated to a certain newly
relocated Do-Buy-Company
"Bored stiff with my wallet fat,
I ordained myself a diplomat,
bought a plane and some aerosol,
sprayed my name on China's Wall
Then I pissed all over the Kremlin steps,
punched a monk in Tibet,
got drunk and disordered in the ol' big Apple,
passed gas in the Sistine Chapel
CHORUS: Asshole World Renown
Went to Rome to spread V.D.,
robbed the homeless in Haiti,
was slapped by a woman on the great Euphrates,
kidnapped kids in the slums of Haiti,
Poisoned livestock in Korea,
tainted food shelves in Tanzania
torched Saigon like a Buddhist pyro,
slashed tires in the streets of Cairo
CHORUS: Asshole World Renown
...et cetera... you get the point: Poets (for one) are fed-up with this
prevelanet rape-the-world M.O. of greedy crime families, like Halliburton.
Kant's transcendentalism may be at work here. It searches the hidden
abscesses ...err.. make that the hidden recesses, of the human mind for
the a priori conditions (primal abstractions) as our best crutch for
understanding bewildering daily experience (the human condition, now
morphed by corporations into the "inhuman condition").
Old Ed Husserl (the father of phenomenology) talks about "inquiry back";
i.e. inquiry back into the subjective sources of meaning. Things that
are called "objective" (for example a mathematical calculation)
nevertheless ONLY have meaning because they are abstractions. These
abstractions can stay unquestioned for a long time, yet they are often
far from unquestionable, and often (if not most often) false, even in
the case of numbers (statistics).
Phenomenology is a counterpoint to numenology - the essence of things.
Phenomenology, has to do with the with the way things are actually
perceived to be that essence. That is why some of the fringe can look at
simple family surname and strain to find hidden meaning there to explain
the illogic of events.
Hmmm... Don't know if all of the above was necessary to get a grip on
this- but here is an understated story from Reuters which may illustrate
some of this problem of trying to determine "what is real" and what is
abstraction, in the News of the day.
HONG KONG - Incredulous equity traders said on Monday they wanted a
better explanation from Societe Generale for how a single rogue trader
managed to build up a $73 billion position and cause the French bank to
lose $7 billion.
"I think most people are just astonished that someone could get away
with that kind of trade for so long without being noticed," said Matt
McKeith, head of equity dealing at First State Investments in Hong Kong.
"I'd always be slightly suspicious of the company line in these
circumstances."
Societe Generale said the trader, 31-year-old Jerome Kerviel, created
fictitious accounts to make it look as though his positions had been
covered, when in fact they remained unhedged, and falsified documents to
justify his actions.
[SocGen almost immediately called for an equity "infusion". Translation-
a shift in ownership. No problem there, right Do-Buy?]
Equity traders were foxed by the explanation, especially since the
relatively lowly Kerviel appeared to make no personal profit from his
gamble, and were flummoxed as to his motives.
[Personal profits can be sown in Paree, and harvested in Do-Buy]
BTW Kerviel, at the time of this incident, was making about one-tenth
the salary of a Wall Street trader with the same responsibility; and
French Banks are notorious for low bonuses. No wonder he was so easy to
recruit. Bottom line for Jerry?
Even after a short stint (for his health) in La Santé, Kerviel if he is
not "Vinced" as they say, will probably have some nice 'digs' waiting
for him in the world's tallest hotel...
