Nobel Peace Prize Recipient To Award Old Hypocrite Medal Of Freedom For Most Successful Circle Jerk Execution In History
Yes, it's official. The whole has gone crazy. The rape and pillage of the middle class is now awarded with prizes and medals.
President Barack Obama will name Warren Buffet as one of fifteen winners of the 2010 Medal of Freedom, a White House official said on Wednesday.
Buffet, one of the world's most successful investors who has donated a vast chunk of his multibillion dollar fortune to charity, will receive the medal at a White House ceremony early next year. The award is the highest U.S. civilian honor.
Buffet is one of Obama's closest defenders in the business community and the president has sought his counsel dating back to the 2008 presidential campaign and since.

"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call... The Ponzi Zone!" - Rod Serling
The award ceremony, police security, etc. will probably cost the taxpayers millions.....
That second picture is hilarious!
here's a not so funny picture. mister buffet with nazi lover schwarzenegger getting their marching orders from lord rothschild:

Arbeit macht frei.
John 8:32
So the jew is giving orders to the nazi lover? I'm confused.
I'd pay 20 bucks to have it on a t-shirt. And maybe a zero hedge logo.
Ponzi Zone, Bizarro World. Fuck I think my brain just split in two. I have been trying to put it off but this shit is getting comical.
This is an old and honored tradition, that of awarding the tools of the state shiny medals and life time employment in the private sector for having successfully implemented the directives of the masters of the universe. This should have been obvious to all when Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his continuation of the never ending Imperial Empire wars.
The history books are always written (and revised) by the winners. Rest assured these weighty tomes will always tell us who's to be admired and who's to be scorned. They aren't writing these books for you and me. They're writing them for our kids and grand-kids. The future of indoctrination lies (sic) with our children.
Well CG, the good thing is your reply leaves me hopeful there will still be such things as "lists" and "books" when my kids are my age.
I'm not quite so hopeful, my feeling is this shit won't mean anything, nor will anyone be around to print the tales.
Lord of mercy, i just realized, if you're right, we get to craft a new creation story.
In the beginning, there was tyler, and he was good. He spoke and he said, let there be reason, it was, and it was good.
Did you happen to notice that the revisionists all write memoirs and books revising history, which are then used by the historians to substantiate the same version? I confirm you who confirms me who confirms you etc.
Indeed. Here in jolly olde Britain, the tools of the state are given peerages.
Now, in Amerika, where they don't believe in such things, they give... medals.
It looks like we've all got our own vestigial tails of feudalism; like your queen.
I guess it's better than winning the Nobel Peace Prize while actively leading two wars.
These prizes don't mean shit anymore.
He took those wars to the bank like he said he would.
Reallly though, and Gitmo too. He is a filthy SOB.
The Nobel Prize committee lost me with Arafat.
Me too...
Uh Kissinger?
Did Wen Jiabao win ?
Thieves receiving the medal for their greed,
real hardworking honorable people are starving jobless on the streets of old US of A, what an irony.
douchebag circle jerk.
whole world
Buffet did thank Uncle Sam this morning......
That should be enough right?
May I speculate that his love letter to the Elites was based upon his previous knowledge of his award?
or given to him for writing it?
Warren has a lot to be thankful for....like where he was on the morning of 9/11:
http://killtown.911review.org/buffett.html
Wow, that might be the shittiest HTML I've seen outside of MySpace.
An ancient part of cyberspace now more than 9 years old.
I agree about the HTML...don't see that graphic style ever making a comeback anytime soon.
Pulitzer for Kneale?
Makes about as much sense.
Kneale is gearing his career up for an iTulip Award.
Where's our Medal of Freedom. Haven't we given more to charity? Hell, we've sold our children to the cause
Our medal of freedom is Silver. get some, put JPMorgan down like a mad dog.
+100 Awesome.
Stephen Hawking gold medal for 100 meter dash?
Horrid, but hilarious. Crikey....I feel bad.....
Welcome to the 13th centuray ladies and gentleman.
Warren Buffet says "what accounting standards, I don't need no accountability I know the king!"
He earned this one with Obama.
How ironic that it's called the Medal of FREEDOM. Facilitate indentured servitude for the masses and get lauded for being a luminary of our nation.
doublespeak.
Any language deliberately constructed to disguise or distort its actual meaning, often by employing euphemism or ambiguity. Typically used by governments or large institutions.
It has been rebranded to freedom from accountability.
Please stop. I don't think I can take it anymore.
Barky Obama's presidency has been disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Obama is just following in the footsteps of Bush. They both liked to give out medals to disgusting people who didn't deserve shit.
And we didn't even get to see the bath house scene where Buffet took it for TARP and then gave the reach-around for the medal.
Classic headline TD.
yeah, absolutely.... was gonna ask did ya make that up yourself? Geez...your so cynical, Tyler :-)
His last name is Buffett.
in the sense of having wealth served on the platter.
or simply - inside trading!
He doesn't deserve that extra "t".
Egad.
each passing day the ruling elite further mock the citizenry...
at what point will the masses understand that only 2 forms of resistance remain viable methods of opposition to their rule...monetary & violent
Gold, Silver, and the bullet...
wow to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness
This is no circle jerk - In a circle jerk you pleasure your self!
It is more like an elepant walk - where a circle of men reach through the legs of the man in front of them and yank on that mans unit.
been through a TSA checkpoint i take it ;-)
LOL, that's a new one on me.
I guess I just don't get out enough. Well, at least not in the right social circles.
The Medal of Freedom from Investment Loss.
This is the prize for backing Obama during the electoral process of 2008.
Buffet has lots of money, as his ass was saved for him by Bernanke and Geithner, but he always wanted a shiny Medal of Freedom.
Next up - Obama will award an Oscar to Bill Clinton and a Grammy to Larry Craig.
My suggestion would be the Medal of Free Money. But yes: what do you get the man who has everything? I'd mainly see it, though, it as a PR move - reward a high-profile business figure who's Democratically-correct as well as revered by both the public and other businessmen, as a safe way to show that Obama's really very business-friendly after all. Mission accomplished...
Cue the picture of Fonzi on water skis. The Buffet bull market is now done.
LOL!
By the way, love your screen name!
You mean Warren "bailout Front Runner" Buffet!
Who bitches endlessly that he doesn't pay enough taxes, Warren, shut up and write a check to the US treasury!
There are princes and there are paupers. Nothing exists between the two. hedge accordingly.
Rather like Wesley Mouch giving James Taggart an award, no?
Righton redpill. These times are so similar - I'm just waiting for some CEO to lead the strike. Instead of going to Galt's Gulch, move the whole company to Singapore....Larry and Sergey?
The dude donates billions to charity. I see that as pretty admirable. I guess I'm not a Warren Buffet hater. Tough to hate someone who is so charitable.
So it doesn't matter what anyone does, as long as they donate a small percentage of their net worth to charity? You are a cheap sycophant, Wanger.
+1 Well said!
Uh, yup!
Where do you suppose he got all that money to donate in the first place?
Nonetheless, it's good to know that at least one person here on ZH still favors the dispensation system.
In other words, the America taxpayer donates billions to charity in Warren's name?

So giving $1.6 Billion to the Gates Foundation this year alone is so horrible. You people would rather let African children continue to die from malaria? Come on. The guy's doing some incredibly great things. To compare him with Madoff is silly and childish.
You dribbled some on your chin
Quick, save the innocent sperm.
LoL. Funny
@HarryWang
do u really believe what ur saying or r u just trying to provoke people on this site? if u believe ur schtick, puhleeeze do a little reading and avail urself of google. ur opinions indicate u only read the headlines. regarding mister gates and his so called charity, it's main purpose is EUGENICS. mister gates has openly said he will use vaccines and health care for population control (@2:35) -- and mister buffett is right there with him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUJMR3BUm2s
Wow, it's frightening that you read that completely wrong in the video. You conspiracy nuts all try to bend a sound bite. All I can say is - wow!
The ends justify the means, huh? Isn't that an Alinsky-ism?
How much did you contribute to the African Children Harry?
Do you snowball as well?
Harry
If you understood how foundations operate then I don't think you would be so supportive. Gates is investing in Pharmacuetical research heavily. Africa and other third world countries are the laboratories. Reminiscent of the Rockefellers. Also no taxes and they still have access to their cash. Buffett is a trustee. On face value it looks clean but you have to dig deeper. There is a lot more info on this than I am posting.
I live in Seattle and work very closely with the Gates Foundation. Your description is conspiratorial and completely off base. I see the amazing things this foundation does on a daily basis.
We should probably take your objective word for it then, eh?
Now we understand.
If you had fessed up sooner I would have laid off of you a long time ago. Do you have a photo of Warren, Bill & Melinda that you whack off to? My last shot at Harry. Sign off.
RC
Hey man, nice shot.
@Harry
do u want DEATH PANELS as part of health care, like mister gates does? this is not a conspiracy, it is in mister gates own words:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03MZG9vK0W8
The elite can control economies. They do. They can not control population growth (one of their biggest fears) without continuing to export war, famine & disease and finally in the end "corporate genocide".
It can happen through the use of a "bad batch" of vaccine or something as simple as putting a sterilizarion agent in all of the Coke-A-Cola that gets shipped to target country X
or cover-up RADIOACTIVE TAP WATER IN TEXAS for 20 years. oh, and that flouride you're adding to the water, contains radioactive isotopes and other toxins besides the flouride itself which is toxic.
http://www.kens5.com/news/Radiation-in-Houstons-tap-water-long-history-o...
I will buy bottled water then as long as it is not a product of Coke, Pepsi, Nestle etc. etc. etc. etc.
The list is endless really.
Get a filter and make your own.
Better yet collect it when it falls and then filter it.
+ standing ovation. Bravo!
lol, i think you just blew your remaining drip of credibility right there.
Now I understand. He's the Gates Foundation's broker.
Now we see why Harry loves Apple. MSFT has done shit for what, 10 years or more. The only reason the foundation has any spending money is because of Harry's brilliant call on Apple. :>)
Amazing really that he has the time in a day to toy with the ZH rabble
I'm not impressed Harry. Why doesn't Gates feed the homeless in his own city if hes' so big on charity? Africa? Plenty of hurting people right there. And why not contribute to fix the freeways that are clogged from his monopolistic company that created the traffic jams in the first place? And BTW, good to see Gates Sr's attempt to extract more taxpayer money (via a state income tax) was shot down.
Funny how all these rich people want to tax the rich and poor meanwhile they don't pay any taxes anyway. Reminds me of Ted Kennedy's speeches on taxing the rich while most of his families money was in a trust. Fucking hypocrites.
Thank God for that. Anyone with common sense could see that the tax would have "trickled down" to the middle and lower class in a few years. I just loved how Gates Sr. and Christine Gregoire pulled strings and finagled a 60 Minutes interview with Leslie Stahl the Sunday before Election Day. Yet another shill for the NWO...

Gates Foundation - 100 million to IRRI
IRRI was started by the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation under the guise of helping poor rice farmers (Asia) in 1959. Well have they helped the poor rice farmer. No. So where did this technology go, to the corporations such as Monsanto and their genetically modified seed and food program. What are the benefits to doing business this way? You recieve land for free from the Philipine Government and donatians from others which is tax free money because you are a non-profit. Also the non profits (IRRI) recieve money and grants from governments which is probably lent to them from the IMF and World Bank for the advancement of agriculture. Then these corporations introduce their genetically modified seed program in which you have to buy their seeds which are the only ones resistant to their pesticides. Mark up the price and pay off a few gov. offficials to enforce its use then rake in huge profits. Meanwhile these people in the loop have got in on bargain prices of the stock. Take your proceeds and donate them to your own Foundation for a tax deduction and recycle. Of course there is more to it than this but I don't have the time to post it all.
AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria are three of the world’s largest killers. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated millions of dollars to help sufferers of these diseases. It seems however that the funding from the foundation has failed to reach the particular needs of societal health that parallel the problems of these major infectious diseases. "Gates-funded vaccination programs have instructed caregivers to ignore – even discourage patients from discussing – ailments that the vaccinations cannot prevent" With such concentrated focus on the vaccinations that are made available, talk of any other ailments may congest patient outpost and vaccination lines. Additionally, hindering people the chance to discuss other ailments is problematic, because a trip to a vaccination line may be the only contact that person will have with healthcare personnel for many months or years.
Bet they are meeting the Pharmaceutical companies needs. Glaxo-Smith and Merk.
Look into the Reese Commission (Warren Dodd) they investigated foundations in 1954. Found some startling info on their agendas or keep your eyes closed.
speaking of the ford foundation. do you know that timmay's dad (peter geithner) and barry's mom (ann dunham soetoro) both worked for the ford foundation, at the same time in the 1980s, in indonesia? anyone care to connect those dots?
Its quite the history. The foundations have groomed many powerful puppets.
Typical Gates micromanagement of customer experience. That style directly led to inability to capitalize on the Internet.
Are you also the Dos Equis most interesting man in the world?
Stay thirsty my friends.
That guy came from an advert from that gap-toothed brit "Tony Sinclair" who was hawking Gin at the time.
If you pay attention you can see him at 0:12 with a blonde woman.
I guess if you get invited to opulent tent parties on glaciers, you are interesting.

He gave it to the Gates Foundation so that they could do more with their eugenics project. Look it up.
Shhh...we need to maintain the image of these people so everyone can associate Bill and Warren with George Washington and the like.
Enough said!
And, I don't think it comes as much of a surprise... Buffet bought this little place in history back in '08...!
I wonder how much of that cash found its way right back into Madoff's "fund?"
All those donations have a comma. save one..

That's fukin funny..
I junked you, mostly because I can't kick you in the shins.
I didn't junk you, because there's no 'like' button.
charity?
hahahaha
it's a tax vehicle you idiot!
+ 1 trillion itemized deductions.
If he didn't, he'd have to pay taxes.
So I suppose Bill Gates is receiving one of these Medals as well?
The Mafia kill people. That they donate to the Catholic Church does not absolve them of murder. Many people think it does, they are wrong.
(Tax deductible) Charity by the rich is just the modern day version of the Middle Ages Catholic Church handing out Indulgences for bribes.....err.....payments. The State was the Church back then. In many ways, it still is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence
Wangmun, you're statement makes you look like a tool (sorry, i'm trying to be nice here). You have to wonder if Warren Buffett is the best as redistributing wealth. In general, would charity be needed more or needed less in a world where there were fewer capital hoarders like Buffett?
I am going to ask a serious question here: How rich is rich enough? When does it get to the point of just being for show? At what point does excessive individual wealth start to hurt society at large?
I don't know how rich is rich enough but there are tons of billionaires out there that don't come close to giving away half their fortune. Yet the guy that does somehow is a horrible person in your eyes? I don't get it.
giving away half their fortune?
please contact your high net individual tax attorney for a knowledge update.
Giving away half of what you've earned?
He's not an idiot, but you are, because you believe this bs.
Please go back to school, especialy charity accounting 101 class!

Well, I really don't know warren buffett so I can't tell you if he is a horrible person. I'll tell you that I hold the billionaires who don't give as freely as buffett in much lower regard.
Buffett has a net worth of 37 billion according to the Internet [ http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/10/billionaires-2009-richest-people_Warren-Buffett_C0R3.html ]. It took him almost 80 years to get it all. It's his life, he can live it as he wants to. He could make another 37 billion for all I care. I just don't understand why. I consider it capital hording. It seems to be an obsession with people like him. Maybe I'm delusional, this is just my perspective, but I suspect that merely possessing this amount of wealth does more damage to society than his (comparatively) meager charitable contributions make up for.
I believe he's given away some of the earnings off his principal as a cynical ploy to impress people. The real Buffett is seen with Munger's "Suck it up" quote.
Sure you do. People are saying a good portion of his wealth was ill gotten.
BTW, Knight does not manage money.
LVS is a better buy than APPL at these levels.
Please have the foundation look at the set of documents called "Inventory of World Resources Human Trends and Needs" produced by Fuller while at Southern Illinois University.
here's one of bucky's docs (warning : direct link to PDF)
http://www.williambowles.info/b_fuller/WD_Book.pdf
Way cool, thank you so much for the link.
First let me state. I hate Warren Buffett. I think he's a liar and a fraud, and has front run the power of the federal government for years.
Now, what the hell is a capital hoarder? and who the hell has the right to tell me I can't hoard anything. Charity is exactly that. It is given of my own free will. NOBODY should be redistributing wealth let alone Uncle shatbag Warren. If I don't break any laws, how is it that you and your comrades who think they are smarter than everyone else should be able to decide what I do with the fruits of my labor? How rich is rich enough? None of your damn business if it was earned legally and I didn't abuse the power of the government to get it. And how does one person's wealth hurt society? It actually helps society if a person get's rich in a free market environment. Why? Because it means that person produced something of value that someone else wanted to pay for that provided value to that person or saved them time.
The problem comes down to the fact the Uncle jizzload Warren and his buddies are using the Government as their own personal errand boy/body guard/shylock to fleece the taxpayer. They are getting rich by exploiting some regulation that their puppet in goverment sets up to benefit them. It definitely doesn't provide value it's just a mechanism to ensure there are barriers to entry to reduce competition for the Uncle smegburger Warrens of the world. The government is picking winners and losers plain and simple. I think the system is pretty much done. I think the crash of the system will be the ugliest thing in recorded history. That being said, the thing I'm most afraid of is the "workers of the world unite" crowd getting control after the system resets. Either men are free or they are slaves. In the end capital is just a store of my previous labor, the claiming my labor in the name of redistribution or "social justice" makes me very very angry. You can't make everyone equal. You can only make them equally miserable.
Not while you're around, they can't.
sorry Harry, but the "dude donates billions" to Bill Gate's vaccination agenda.

the above links to a TimesOnline (short) piece on just what these "philanthropists" are funding.
"America's richest people meet to discuss ways of tackling a 'disastrous' environmental, social and industrial threat"
recommended reading, included in the secret meeting are such lovelies as David Rockefeller Jr., Buffett, Soros, Bloomberg, Ted Turner & Oprah - and of course, Gates.
Harry, I've tried to understand your posts, and even give them some space as opposing, but (in my opinion) most often misguided views. Stick to the market - You have revealed your true nature with this post. No more. You just don't get it.
Sad, really.
If I punch a senior in the throat, take their wallet, and give the contents to someone else...am I still being 'charitable'?
I am bestowing a Peabody upon myself.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one, Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son, Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight. Red is grey and yellow white, But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion???
just sayin
ah the days of future passed...
Buffet can suck a big fat cock.
He has, but it was know then as, "The President's Huge Stimulus Package."
new insight into Munger's "Suck It Up" comment.
The fraud could not be more blatant nor the rewards. I'm officially sick.
I wonder how much this cost Buffet?
Are you fucking kidding me? Why does it feel like the world's citizens are the target of this bukkake?
It's Bukkake Kabuki
Well, it will be his last medal or honor for the rest of his life.
