Ok. Wow! Now then, this is a fascinating piece of broadcasting history.
It’s a financial trader telling the stark and gloomy truth. If you’ve not watched it before, now is the time to watch and listen very carefully to what he has to say…
There are of course conspiracy theories surrounding what he says, yet there are millions out there he got suckered in. To them they thought that maybe he was just a little out of his depth and so returned to what he knew best, talking about trading rather than how to fix the Eurozone as he’d been asked.
However … those that know a bit about ‘stuff’ should have heard the alarm go off when he suggested those who were going to make money would be buying the US Dollar, one of the most unstable currencies in the world.
Aha.
Why would anybody buy a currency in collapse? A giveaway!
So, who is this “Alessio Rastani” speaking like a truthful (for once) market trader?
Aha.
Is it the first time he’s pulled a gigantic hoax on the BBC News team?
Aha.
No. …or should I say, “Yes”.
I put it to you that this is one of the ‘Yes Men’, the politically left-of-centre gentlemen who perform highly elaborate hoaxes by pretending to represent large organisations and making outrageous statements on public media in order to embarrass them, or bring home what might be the unsaid reality of the situation.
He does look slightly different of course, but it’s Andy Bichlbaum, the ‘Yes Men’ man that shocked the world via the BBC back in 2004 when, posing as a “Jude Finisterra” from the Dow company, he announced they would be accepting full responsibility and making unconditional payouts to victims of the Bhopal chemical plant disaster some 20 years before.
Yes, it’s a ‘Yes Men’ man. We need more of this kind of television when surrealists take over reality in a Chris Morris style. I approve!
And, he’s made a lot of people ‘think’ about what’s really going on, hasn’t he?
