I was curious what you Finance guys thought about the 'Occupy Wall Street Movement' in terms of what it means to Nepal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street

If the world was a village, the United States would be the wealthiest and most powerful person of the village. In the village of the world, the US is the Gaun Mukhya. Well, don't you think the Gaun Mukhya enjoys being the top dog in the village? Don't you think the Gaun Mukhya enjoys all the chakadi that he receives with people coming to his angan rubbing their palms in supplication? Don't you think the Gaun Mukhya enjoys smoking his tamakhu slowly, pulling the smoke into his cheeks, nodding his head slowly and understandably? Of course he does.

He loves being the thulo manchhe of the village.

The Gaun Mukhya will help the other villagers. But he will never help them too much. Why? Because he will lose power. The Gaun Mukhya's power comes from people needing him. From them depending on him. From them fearing his gundas. From them daring not to vote for people in county elections that he says, should not be voted for. If the other poverty stricken villagers actually start to become independent, then what would happen to the Gaun Mukhya? His skills would no longer be relevant. He would no longer be in demand. No one would fear offending him. Then what would happen to the career of the Gaun Mukhya? What would happen to his clout?

So the Gaun Mukhya would be damned if he was going to help the global village enough so that they don't need him anymore.

But the Gaun Mukhya has children who have become educated in proper values. They understand democracy. They understand egalitarian values. They understand exploitation. And when they see how their father acts, they are torn. On one hand they want to be loyal to their father. But on the other hand, they know that their father's money is 'blood money.'

Credit is the currency of the Gaun Mukhya to bleed the world. All the poor come, doing chakadi to the Gaun Mukhya so he will extend their loans a little bit more. And the Gaun Mukhya gets to play the benevolent benefactor in public while bleeding all the poor villagers in private.

In Africa there are 'blood diamonds.'

In Nepal, there is 'blood grains,' 'blood tourism,' 'blood farming' and 'blood banking.' There is blood everywhere.

And these children of the Mukhya, they see the Gaun Mukhya for what he really is. That is why they do 'Wall Stree Protests' against their father's 'blood banks.' These are banks filled with blood of the poor and needy. Blood that has been extricated like in this movie:
