Please re-broadcast the word (new to me) "BANKSTERS" meaning international global bankers who are stripping the wealth of nations. It may also refer to economists participating in quasi-legal activity of criminal intent.
Rhymes with 'mobsters' for reasons that should be obvious in context.
This caught my imagination today, from the words of the Keiser Report @RT (Russian Times, English edition). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v-PtIDKtaTz3M
