The banksters are going all in on this one. FASB got bitch slapped plenty last Spring and they still do not get it. The next phase is to get rid of them altogether. They will soon sleep with the fishes.

+1 (not for the video but Woods link above to huffpo - even though I don't care for huffpo)

as for the video - I posted this on the too big to fail thread (much more entertaining - think of Maxine Waters as the balloon and the stick person as Timmay)

FASB is rubbish, rubbish... it is time for the proletariat to take over - we could sort out those balance sheets with Common Bloody Sense!

Ugh....Ruppert is attempting to reinforce my 12/21/12 Nostrodamus flashforwards. I must resist.

I have NEVER read anything from Ruppert that subscribes to the 122112 Calendar BS..

 

If so, give link in his own words..

Nostro flashforwards belong solely to any and all who are now storing canned goods in their mountain hideaways.

Marla,  you are unique, aren't you?  BTW, are you and Tyler in love?

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

35K for 99 balloons

VH1 Classic, an American cable television station, ran a charity event for Hurricane Katrina relief in 2006. Viewers who made donations were allowed to choose which music videos the station would play. One viewer donated $35,000 for the right to program an entire hour and requested continuous play of Nena's "99 Luftballons" and "99 Red Balloons" videos for an entire hour. The station broadcast the videos as requested from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. EST on March 26, 2006.

Good news, Freddie lost $6B plus, but won't have to draw more from the taxpayers because of some funny accounting.

A gun, needle, or knife, would help in both instances.

Given there's no rhyme or reason various banks become the "chosen ones", I'd like to know why banks such as, let's say, BAC, aren't on the list?  Hee hee hee, cough, to big to fail, cough, corruption, cough... Anyway, ProHobo over on implode-explode found this web site that breaks things down anyway you want it;

http://portalseven.com/banks/index.jsp

and you can see layoff lists, chapter 11 lists, and your lottery results as well.  About the only thing that I'd add to the site would be the forclosures by state, month, year.
