Too BiG To JaiL...
The Law demands that we atone
When we take things that we don't own;
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine...
Anonymous, circa 1764

The dice of this moron are loaded
All trust in our system's eroded
But still he plays on
A Kleptocrat Con
He'll play till the world has exploded
The Limerick King

Commemorating 100 Years of Central Bankster Schtupping

We Americans are basically a very simple people.
Our formula for past successes has essentially been distilled as follows: maintain a "can-do" attitude, believe in the "American way", honest hard work will be rewarded, abundant opportunity and upward mobility for all.
Those who play the prosperity game correctly may look forward to retirement in a spleniferous life of leisure and Obamacare.
Once upon a time, this is is what American Thanksgiving was supposed to look like...
Most Americans desperately cling to the foolish Ponzi pipe dream of a notion that this Thanksgiving dream is still possible.
And for some PhD morons who evidently borrow subprime QE money to purchase shitty American vehicles made principally of plastic components sourced in Shenzen, the dream has been fullfilled.
Unfortunately, for reasons far to numerous to enumerate in this post, this is all just a Ponzi Pilgrim's delusion.
There is one big kahuna of a fucking reason so very plainly obvious.
When it comes to ridding our fucking system of finance, the "fucking system" if you will, of all the learned fucking thieves sitting the top of the fucking Ponzi pyramid, we are hopelessly screwed up each and every one of our Holland and Lincoln Tunnels.
The same cheap fucking QE paper that buys those shitty vehicles will also pay the much ballyhooed $13 Billion JPM shyster fine. Half of JPM's profits in 2013.
Gobble fucking Goebbels.
I won't insult anyone's fringe low brow intelligence by asking who has been convicted.
In any event, such a scenario is far to fetched to even consider.
Instead I will pose the following question:
The biggest most egregious case of financial fraud and chicanery by a US banking institution measured by the fiat of the fine.
The biggest fine ever!
"Hoooly Cow!"--Phil Rizutto
Have the regulators who are in charge of the whole JP Clusterfuck (you know the ones who keep getting reappointed, promoted or hired by private equity firms) applied their very substantial leverage to force the Shyster in Chief of JP Cesspool to cede his shysterly position by resigning?
Is this something that could have happened? Of course it is.
Don't believe me?
Go and ask our distinguished colleague Bill Black, Esq what he thinks.
Does the fact that the same schlemiel will remain in charge of the old JP Cesspit send the rest of us a message?
You better believe it does...
Whatcha are you gonna do sisters and brothers?
Sadly, for most of the rest of America it all boils down to this...
Goebbel, Goebbel, Goebbel!

Don't wait to long folks, the Christmas clock is ticking…
A great artist too!
I event think Norman Rockwell were he alive today would have drawn that epic Thanksgiving painting just this way!
If it was any other World we were living in we'd be laughing uncontrollably. Actually we were laughing when the revelations about the London Whale and LIBOR were making it's ugly debut -but at some point you stop laughing when the same "jokes" keep reappearing ,especially when they are dead serious.
Fantasitc images to your satire per your usual Will.
Thanks
Something very interesting about these old Puck Illustrations. They preceded the formation of the Federal Reserve Bank and the principal villains were the robber barons at the top of the various business trusts.
The Fed is of course a legalized money cartel and two of the biggest trust scoundrel names, Morgan and Rockefeller, are still at the apex of swindle ground zero: JP Morgan/Chase.
And the illustrations are just as relevant today as they were back then. Perhaps more so now.
Love the Norman Rockwell re-do; we are all turkeys to the banksters, and turkeys for putting up with it.
Amazing how the reckless abuses of the 1920's and 1930's have been forgotten, and now repeated by new generations.
Repeated on a scale that makes the days of old puny by comparison.
Back in the 1960's my step-father did light construction contract work for the chairman of an oil company in Oklahoma. He told me about being in the chairman's office and looking at his "love me" wall and noticed that he had photographs of himself with both Democrat and Republican Presidents. He asked about that since he new the Chairman despised Democrats. The chairman told that to stay in business he made campaign contributions to both parties. If you didn't you'd have the feds all over you. Since then it has gotten worse because now you have the heads of government agencies doing the same thing. There are some very wealthy "civil" servants out there.
Pretty much the same thing in finance. They all have pictures of themselves with pols from both parties. One with Marx one with Hitler etc...
that's why

Do you want to be an intern in Banzai7 Institute?
The real quation is why does the editor suddenly do that? I am doing the same thing for every image insert.
handcoding is so much more satisfying... at least until your eye sight starts to go
My eyes have seen better days...
When I saw the title I imagined a Dimon faced whale...
They need to send Wall Street a strong message such as sending Martha Stewart to jail again.
oh, wait....
That is funny, but not funny ;-) Poor Martha.
I gave up completly on the rule of law when Corzine walked. That was a tipping point for me, "the straw that broke the camel's back" so to speak.
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoleon BonaparteMine was the moment Chrysler bondholders were fucked to the benefit of union workers. That's the instant I knew that the Rule of Law had been abandoned by the Federal Government.

A magnum opus, a masterpiece of a post, and sealing it with a turkeyhead dinner. All hail the mighty banz.
p.s. that last picture reminds me of one of Dio's final songs before he left. EATING THE CANNIBALS!

Sir William, you're a genius!
quick review of the masters: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/06/13/100-years-of-propaganda-the-g... they don't call it "manipuflation" for nothing. problem with propaganda is when you start believing in your own. someone did their homework on the ACA...someone else did not. the question to me however has always been to what extent is Wall Street drinking the Kool-Aid...and i am a full on Kool-Aid drinker i might add...and to what extent are they pulling another 2008 and "ramping up into the crisis." there will be no "Hammerin' Hank" this go around in my view. there are no interest rates to cut (they are in fact rising...quite dramatically at the margin actually) and there is a high probability of "some God awful war somewhere" that just comes out of so called "nowhere." in other words "the Government is locked and loaded on these clowns." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Stearns in other words to what extent has Wall Street "reblown" a bubble so big that yet again they find "there is no containment this time." i remain committed to my view that it is Wall Street that has blown an even far larger bubble than anything we had in 2008 while at the same time the Government's "demand destruction team" is busy at work monetizing the debt to such a degree that "everything has to work just right in order for everything not to be totally wrong." it ain't like the Navy isn't working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LFzHhU-Rro. ain't like i haven't done my part either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWRS8VGIrnY
i do recommend combining the Opera and the "test range" videos actually.
