More Relentless BS From The BLS (And Princeton) Forces Santelli To Snap
From John Lohman
As usual, the Department of [no] Labor did not fail to deliver its usual Thursday morning humor: yet more upward revisions to initial and continuing jobless claims (initial were revised upward by 8,000, while continuing were revised 12,000 higher). But the unexpected round two of laughter came from Rick Santelli’s instantaneous description of the report. For those that missed it, his FTMFW quote is below, followed by a visual of the claims cluster:
Of course, this is old news and has been pointed out ad nauseam on ZH (2010 summary here, and longer-term view here). It’s already known, based on the percent of up revisions vs. down, that the binomial probability of the initial report being unbiased (either statistically or otherwise) is precisely 0.000000004% (which incidentally is rumored to also be the probability of Cramer’s foundation making money this year).
What was news, however, were the annual revisions that were released with the report. More humor: they were larger than the first revisions and contained comparable levels of upward bias. While free entertainment is always welcome, one can’t help but wonder why the DOL doesn’t borrow one of the FRBNY’s interns to adjust the specs in their model. It’s not like removing a predictable bias in a model is rocket science. The only legitimate explanation could be, well, Rick’s.
And for those who may have missed it, here is Rick Santelli's latest moment of insanity when confronted with monumental bullshit (link in case CNBC decides to take the embed version down):

Santelli Blood!
Double or Nothing bitches!
Santelli is awesome. I don't know how he has maintained his sanity this long!
Check out the Capital Research Institute "Don't Trust the Frontmen":
http://www.capitalresearchinstitute.org
Hyperinflation is the manifestation of everyone coming to the same conclusion, at the same time, that the corporation we lovingly refer to as the United States Government is bankrupt. Now to the point. Today the G20 met.
At the forefront is the issue of world reserve currency, as the global economic system hinges on it. China sees the Fed printing money, and in general making the rules up as it goes along, and of course, they want to be able to do the same. Who wouldn’t want to be able to print their own money, and make up the rules as they go along??? Unfortunately, that is no basis for a global economic system, as it would quickly degenerate into a world awash with dozens of useless and devalued fiat currencies...
What do you mean he is the only sane one on CNBC!
I think I figured out the problem with CNBC and the MSM. All the reporters are international banking cartel employees, except for Rick Santelli.
Just turn that shit off !

Mainstream media opinionated reporters and NWO people are the new "Fags".
Obama is a fag too.
Film Actors Guild ?
Annoying stupid opinionated piece of shit = Fag.
Don't forget superficial and useless.
Also, many don't yet understand that "fag" is genderless.
"Me thinks the lady doth protest too much" Michael, I think you're the fag. You always have to put on the shit kicker boots with this big tough macho manipulated pea brained act of yours. You are one miserable Neanderthal.
I think alot of people are over sentelli and his antics. I mean he comes across as being against wall street but works with them, and probably has a coffee with the criminals.
lot of people think we are doomed, but there are still great ways to make money. Even while the economy is collapsing around us.
I subscribe to the guy from australia and his FFT economic newsletter at http://www.forecastfortomorrow.com that guy has called many big events before they have happend, including the stock market crash in 2008 and the current financial collapse of the US. (currently happening) I found him from a friend last year, and he has some important work.
His oil calls are insane, and I have been making good money with them. He has been crusing the market with this videos lately too. He is well worth a look, if you want to keep two steps ahead of the sheeple out there.
I am now crossign santelli off my list. Oh well :(
Another talking (shouting) head. He was given the bad-boy label by cnbs and plays his part well. He's fun in a quick-vent kind of way.
Santelli = useful tool for the appearance of diversity in media by the gatekeepers. His salary and his appearance depend on the mercies of his corporate owner GE, when they no longer find him useful, another tool shall appear in his place. The line is endless for compliant souls wishing to shill in the corporate media.
The Department of Labor should be immediately renamed, The Department of Irony, they toil to compile the data on those who don't toil.
Actually, when he goes over the top and harms their perception of professionalism (as opposed to propaganda-peddling), he'll be run out on a rail like Ratigan.
Note, however, who pays Ratigan still. No different than Red vs Blue from the minds of most of the simpletons targeted by the media. So, they'll just have him on a different channel.
For those who know what's going on however, Santelli is dead-on right. His message won't change no matter who is paying him.
+1. Keep on trying to disprove that negative son, like the jackwagon, retired at 42 years old former cheif economist of the US department of Labor on CNBC this morning.
Now for retort: We should end the fed, but before we do, we should give them the chance they are specifically asking for first: End the dual mandate (dont matter which one you drop) and then see where the current crop of crony capitolists vacation at. I bet it aint in Ben's SAT score.
Not everything is gamed and prevaricated. There is such a thing as the truth. And Santelli is telling it.
[Not everything is gamed and prevaricated. There is such a thing as the truth. And Santelli is telling it.]---unununium
Unununium, don't waste your time responding to knucklehead posts like TheMerryPrankster's above.
Rather, I'm sure you have smart insightful posts that inform and enrich the community here.
Best wishes.
Oh...and high-five Santelli!
I don't mean to belittle Santelli personally or to discredit what he said. I think there is a great deal of truth in what he said. I just want to point out that he is a man in a box and he is only allowed to say so much and if he says too much another man in a box will replace him and the game goes on.
It should be apparent how little truth is broadcast, that we cherish such gems as these. It proves the hypothesis that 99% of the live is controlled and of course all the tape. The power structure abhors those who stray too far off the reservation and will quickly turn on those they once treated as brother.
Santelli's probably a good guy in a shitty spot, defending the truth for a corporation that wipes their ass with it.
[I don't mean to belittle Santelli personally...]---TheMerryPrankster
Hi Prankster. I appreciate your thoughtful Reply. (I'm glad you discerned my post above did not imply you are a "knucklehead." I was disparaging only the post. Nothing personal.)
The only time I un-mute tv while cnbc is on is when I see Santelli. I'm always anxious to see how far Santelli will go. He puts his cnbc contract on the line every time he opens his mouth. I like that.
Santelli and I don't agree on everything, but I hold him in high regard. And will always remember his "rant heard 'round the world" as giving birth to the Tea Party.
Let it rip Rick!
WINNING : Ron Paul / Rick Santelli 2012
and Mr. Tyler Durden as the Secretary for the Department of Thruth
Tyler Durden by name at ZH doesn't exist. Few know whom he/she really is.
they
That's a Dream team - literally. The press didn't give Ron Paul the time of day in 2008, and wouldn't be likely to do so in 2012. And I can't see Santelli agreeing to be part of the bureaucracy, despite the honor.
The Republicans need a media-savvy candidate to go against media-savvy Obama. or at least one that the media seems interested in following. McCain was a tired dud, which is why Palin became the only story.
The GOP/Tea Partyers have only two choices in 2012: Chris Christie and Donald Trump. No one else will register on the media's Richter scale. Christie has repeatedly said he won't run. If that holds true, then Trump is the only one who has a chance of beating Obama, given Obama's advantage with the media.
You might say "Trump ?!?!?!?" But really, is it so in inconceivable? Ronald Reagan - a "mere actor" - won in a landslide against Carter, who is often compared to Obama. Trump is a proven executive, with sharp negotioating skills and someone who is entirely comfortable in front of the cameras. He can delegate authority; he has flair; he commands attention; he consumes the oxygen in the room. He'd be a great candidate against Obama in the media-driven campaign of 2012.
Yeah, I know. What about governmental experience? Well, what about it? The government is really just a large organization whose prima donnas have competing personal interests. Trump understands how to stroke and cajole these people, to get what he wants. And he is not phased by the Rich & Famous (which is half of the Senate).
Trump is resonating with those in the country who want someone who isn't afraid to mix it up, and who can stare down his competition, whether it be foreign or domestic. And he understands finance - in a real-world sense - better than any other candidate, period, including Mitt Romney of Bain Capital fame.
I say keep an eye on The Donald.
"The Republicans need a media-savvy candidate "
The fact that your comment is 100% true leads to the conclusion that the US is screwed. A republic is only as strong as it's people. Since the US has become a nation of Jersey Shore watching sheeple and can't come to sound independent conclusions anymore, the system is screwed. People will vote for endless money printing and then throw a fit when their savings blow up and there's no more free money.
You guys talk as if this is a US problem and therefore the US can provide a viable solution, it cannot...
Nothing the US can do will stop China or anyone else printing money.
The only solution can be for Fx rates to be conducted once again in gold. Only that can force the discipline on a global system gone amok, and that is not for the US alone to decide.
Kevin Rollins was also of Bain Capital fame. Remember how well that worked out for Dell? Explains why TPTB love Romney and why everyone else should run like hell.
[The GOP/Tea Partyers have only two choices in 2012: Chris Christie and Donald Trump.]---YouBetYourLife
IMO Trump is not a Tea Partier's candidate. To date, I am not convinced he has a firm grasp of and embraces the founding principles of our nation.
But, he's a hoot to listen to. Refreshingly forthright, outspoken, and unafraid.
Oh come on. You're acting as if this is the fault of Ron Paul not being "media savy". He's unelectable because the people who really on this country, don't want him elected and they run the media.
All the candidates that were possibilities (according to the media) in the last election during the primaries, were all but identical. The truly honest politicians, Mike Gravel and Ron Paul were immediately labelled insane, and shunned by both their parties, and the media. It will always happen. We do not chose our elected officials anymore - we haven't for a while.
Am I the only one to remember santelli ranting live on air on all of the middle class people that foreclosed on their houses? Calling them losers and the rich shouldn't have to pay for their defaults? Or does he now have a change of heart and is for the little person now? (rolling eyes)
Video at 11?
Here's a video Santelli's daughter is a dancer :)
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2011/03/rick-santelli-isnt-only-dancer-in-his.html
I am glad Rick Santelli is on CNBC. I hope his lovely daughter has a happy life that doesn't involve stealing other people's money like the average banker whore. I junk you because nobody should talk about a man's daughter. Well that and I hate internet acronyms.
So strange to see a moment of honesty, particularly from CNBC - bitchezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not really honesty hambone. Artfully crafted opposition to the doublespeak is all. He is a shill, one with an arresting and convincing style.
Anyone who watches th etube thinking they are so "awake" that they are beyond programming is kidding themselves. It si after all called programming for good reason.

Turn off, tune out, drop in, to paraphrase Timothy Leary. When tv went digital, I said bye bye, here's my chance to jump off the stupid train. So I did.
It does one good to stand outside the bullshit stream and watch it go bye. I see the flurries of news releases over what happened on a television show and I'm not even tempted to see what they are about.
I enjoy a good movie, a book or surf the web. Tv's a losing game, all it wants is all your time everytime forever. TV wants to sell you a way of life and you need to buy whatever they are selling to get that way of life be it a commercial, a "program", the news or a fricking political speech.
Once we were different and better for it, now they want us to all be the same and blind, deaf and dumb oh and poor seems to be on that list of goals for us. Notice how were not citizens anymore, now we are all only consumers.
America, Inc, doesn't want educated citizens it wants programmed consumers and TV is the tool of choice for America,Inc.
Well said all around Merry One. I'm with you. A decade now of Zero TV (except in a hotel on Biz trips, but now, not even that).

Santelli is the best. Santelli, Diana Glick and Tyler. What a combination.
it is ironic that Santelli comes across as a loon who's losing it on CNBC ...while Bernank, Dimon, Blankfein, Geithner et al come across as calm, intelligent and authoritive sitting on top of a totally insolvent ponzi scheme
those with a firm grasp of reality like Santelli, Faber, Schiff and Paul are increasingly losing their tempers and pulling their hair out over the absolute insanity of our crumbling banking and political systems while the truly insane delusional fukers are as cool as cucumbers
the loonatics have taken over the asylum... did anyone mention the loons would be on best behaviour in the asylum and drive everyone sane absolutely fuking nuts?!!!
It's true, we're in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' territory these days.

...animal spirits coming for Rick Santelli? I hope he didn't mean in a hot tub kinda way.
Probably meant more of a Howard Beale type of animal spirits.
I loved it when he tossed the papers over his head. It was a classic "WTF is this shit?" move.
After awhile the whole system becomes so absurd as to become a farce, a parody of itself. We have reached that point. From here on out, I can only laugh at the idiots steering the ship into the rocks. I think Santelli has reached that point, as has just about every ZH'er.

After awhile it becomes apparent that the plan is there is no plan. Everybody keeps doing their same routine day after day to give a patina of reality to what is actually endless chaos.
We exist in the shadow of disaster and lament the shade without ever noticing its cause.

Now that's a good post. Thanks, Prankster.
I hope you guys aren't giving up! The banksters are crooks. TBTF must go! Zirp must end! Repeal legal tender laws, etc!
Give up? Never. But one of the few tools for bottom up change is to choose not to participate as much as possible in their corrupt rigged system. These guys on top have gotten so greedy their avarice has made them transparent to anyone who cares to look.
Hank Pauslon's 1 page 12 points "agreement" for bailing out the banks is a prime example. The CEO of Goldman Sachs, swaps thrones and become Secretary of the Treasury and then bails out his cronies with tax payer money. Unprecedented looting of the treasury on a scale that would make Bernie Madoff puke, Madoff goes to jail and his son commits suicide, Paulson makes 600 million tax free on his sale of Goldman stock and retires to fly fishing and paradise.
These fuckers are bold, I'll say that for them. All money is their money and you are only holding it until they can get it back again.
A system this corrupt is likely to be unrepairable, only a new system will do. Jefferson and Franklin knew it and they knew it had to be done, for the worst that could happen is to be stuck with the old corrupt system.
We closed our eyes and liberty was stolen, a way of life was gone. Give up? No, but explore alternatives for this system cannot sustain itself, as is obvious if one looks at the true economic picture.

What is it with Blinder and that annoying twitch ? The guy exhibits more facial contortions than Chief Inspector Dreyfus. Load him up with Tourette meds and be done with it. The man is painfully unlistenable and completely unwatchable.

Santelli is god. Enshrine this dude in the the Fight Club Pantheon or Valhalla -- or both. The man has that refreshing knack of always being able to put a run in Liesman's stocking.
Which is why Liesman never lets him finish a sentence (without having to shout over the top of him). I swear, other than Joe, nobody ever gives him time to complete a thought.
Santelli still feels like controlled opposition though, front-running the next chapter of the Kochtopus Tales (ala "The Rant Heard 'Round the World").
That said, other than Diana Olick, he is the only reporter there worth listening to.
Absolutely right. I'm frankly surprised Rick hasn't jumped ship like Charlie G. did, by now. Santelli worked the pits his entire career; he offers commentary from the perspective of a professional -- not from the perspective of a "journalist." Definitely worth listening to.
Rick and Charlie are not even close to the top of the pantheion. CNBC runs a segment every friday afternoon with a dude that could sell tobacco to himself. Much less a bunch of taxpayers.
Gasparino is an egotistical blowhard.
http://reason.com/blog/2011/03/31/cavanaugh-gasparino-rematch-li
Gasparino was arguing with Lew Rockwell on the Judge's show yesterday, but I can't find a link. I think Chas skipped the Austrian Economics stuff on his way to the Street?
Name one of these network types who is not.
That said, Gasparino was one of two on CNBC ( Santelli being the other ) who could tie Liesman's Speedos in a surgeon's knot.
Wow, I saw it totally differently.
To me, Joe slammed Rick. He asked the guest if he was a "CNBC contributor" who could then say whatever he wanted like someone who is tenured, which I took to refer to Rick's rant which Joe clearly didn't agree with> Joe's open disdain then caused Rick's comment regarding Ivy League education (which Joe has) but I must have read too much into it. Still, Joe seems to have stepped up his defense of the "right to wealth" and is becoming increasing agitated at anyone who attempts to create a case against increased taxation of the wealthy because he lives in Jersey and is probably getting it at home with the double barrels of less service and higher tax under Gov Christie.
Fuck Joe. He's a fucking douchebag who deserves to die in a car fire on the NJ Turnpike.

First post on ZH. To give you some background, I had a financial radio show about a decade ago for several years. I interviewed one of the hosts of CNBC about the markets in 1999. He gave me the usual BS about BTFD and NASDAQ 5000 was nothing to be worried about........ went on for about 30 minutes. My last question was that I asked what he was doing with his own money.
Then he proceeded to tell me how most of his money was in CD's and T-bills.

Thanks gents. In over 30 years of being in the business, I have never seen such a corrupt market and system as we have now. Oh sure,everyone knew the game was rigged even in the old days, but not to this degree. They simply make up new rules as they go and outright lie to your face. There is no sense of integrity anywhere in the financial field or government.
I truly do feel sad for the next generation as they will not have the same quality of life due to our generation's selfishness.
Sadly these guys are setting the examples of lawlessness. We'll have a whole social culture of greed instead of just enduring it in Congress and Wall Street.
You mean we're not "enduring" Congress and Wall Street? What am I doing wrong?

Jeff Immelt, chairman and chief executive, endorsed an overhaul of the US tax system that would end special loopholes in exchange for an overall decline in the corporate rate
http://on.ft.com/hgRKSO
snort...."end special loopholes in exchange for an overall decline in the corporate rate."
Because GE paid how much in taxes for 2010 again?
GE pays for *NBC, most of CNN/Fox and all of the non-news cable networks suitible for a young unemployed man to drink beer, smoke cigarettes, learn about pawn shops, captian kangaroo and viagra, while at the same time not having to feel small because you have no idea what type of "whine" you'd need to bring to a dinner date with "snooky" and her kids.
The tax system doesn't need to be overhauled. That would take ten years of committees, review panels, statisticians, tax lawyers, reform Czars.....
Dump the whole rotten special interest twisted crap. Three pages max for an efficient simple way of collecting taxes.
hilarious. what type of tax overhaul? if you contribute to obama like GE not only dont you pay taxes, your officers will be given high profile WH positions and get lucrative gov Ks
Rick is the next best thing to an honest to goodness ZH poster getting on CNBC and going off - imagine any of half the posters (minus Smailes, Wanger...could actually go w/ Robo though) w/ a chance to call out the hypocrisy, the greed, the impending grave danger we face...but alas, Rick does more than I imagine the overlords truly allow.
I watched Santelli this morning. For unemployment numbers, and he was just fine! Rick kicks ass! If Frankenstein spent less time sucking up to Tom Watson's(golf book) ideas the day before, and payed attention, I would pay attention to his squawk!!!
Have not seen the Harry "fucking" Wanker post on here in a while, maybe he got a job as a janitor at CNBC licking Joe's and Liesmans's balls between breaks!
Rick's one tough hombre.
Betcha he's got a tattoo.
I would really like to see "Wolfman" get a guest speaker slot on Squawk and hear what that cat has to say.
Oh yeah. I used to turn the volumn back up when he appeared with Santelli. "course its nice to just look at him too...

Mr. Rick Santelli needs to go kindly fuck himself, untill he is willing to show up at a public high school during luch time and give a speech on just how fuck these kids are.
