Meanwhile In Downtown Camden
As we reported earlier, Camden may be broke, the local police may now be history, unemployment may be 50%, it may be nothing more than one big crack cocaine depot and driving through downtown at less than 88 mph may be hazardous to your health, but that wasn't always the case. In fact, back in 2009 the city had enough money to afford billboards. Such as this one on the intersection of Dr Charless Brimm Blvd and S. Broadway, courtesy of Google StreetView (sorry iPhone 5 users: you can't see this). Brought to you by www.joncorzine09.com

Don't worry good People of Camden. The Bundler and the Teleprompter in Chief will protect you! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
The BERNANKE cometh with the fiat,
and the POTTER pumpeth with the button,
so it was written.
ATTENTION ZERO HEDGE READERS:
I am proud to announce that next Weekend I will be hosting a modern art exhibition for charity in New York City. The title of the exhibition is “What Is Art?”, and it will consist of an array of innovative pieces ranging from a half-eaten apple painted blue to represent individuality and self-expression, to some thought-provoking cardboard boxes which represent the heartlessness of modern capitalism and materialism. Some of the coolest names in modern art will be there, and the event is expected to attract some of the trendiest art enthusiasts.
Tickets will be $500 each, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the IPCC to fund research into climate change. If you want to make a positive impact in the world, then you absolutely have to be there. There are no excuses for not contributing to the cause, and for those who can’t make it, I would appreciate a donation to fund the event and the cause.
I'd be happy to contribute. Whats yer email address?
Donations don't work that way. Just PM me and I'll give you the account details. I expect donations to be upwards of $300. Remember, a portion of each donation will fund research that could save the lives of millions of children, so be generous. Climate change must be stopped. The climate was never meant to change, but sadly human activity has upset the natural equilibrium, and millions in the third world are suffering as a result.
Well...., if it's for the children, count me in.
I would like to pitch in a CDS on an IOU from a friend which is backed by a rehypothicated zero coupon T-bond he owns. He says some day it will be worth something, so are the donations tax deductible?
Geezuz.. liquor store, a Sam’s, lots of parking, no traffic jams, no cops.. the place has potential.
Do you accept bitcoins over the TOR network?
Much better, MDB. I assume your art gallery is next to that new coffee shop on Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn?
I'm so there!
Not to rain on your parade, but as it's an ART exhibit, and for the CHILDREN - I hope you've cleared this with both The National Endowment for the Arts and The National Education Association. Also, I hope all the artists are union members, and patriots.
How can i trust a troll?
Ignore my alter ego...
He's off his meds...
I was going to inquire about payments in bits of string and lint.
MDB: "The climate was never meant to change"
just ask the dinosaurs....
Not enough cow farts to warm things up for them.
As an American, I say we are doing more than any other nation out there regarding global climate change. Look at how many people have taken it upon themselves to store carbon on their very person! You should be walking up to every obese person you meet and shaking their hand for saving the planet. Maybe identify the largest planet savers with a tee shirt, call em "Heat Sink Nation". The art fest is a nice idea as long as you serve hamburgers and fries to promote heat sinking. Maybe a nice performance art piece where the artist punches skinny people for killing the planet.
And pay no attention to the giant fucking furnace we circle.
Oh good, if you guys are "doing more than any other nation" and exclusively picking up the environmental bill I guess, as an Australian, we can finally put that Carbon Tax in the bin and start driving 3,000kg vehicles again.
I'm all for an extended summer.
"The climate was never meant to change, but sadly human activity has upset the natural equilibrium"
First +1 you've ever gotten from me.
Don't forget the ozone layer. (We gotta get rid of that)
MDB- if it b 4 da chilluns, count me in. I'm good 4 30 large! Oh, I forgot, can't get no large in NYC. Never mind. Oh, but I do soooo love the planet and the nitural eekwa-librium- especcialy the 25 mg ones!
MDB can we swipe our EBT for dat donation?
Can't global warming be cured with nuclear winter and we go there we could get a bonus for the economy with a number of broken windows
I will donate some carbon emission futures to the cause. Make your futures account routing codes public on this forum so I can transfer them.
Well-played, MDB. Like the direction you went in there.
As long as all the food is kosher, gluten free, soy based and no drinks are larger than 16 oz, I'm in.
I only attend art exhibitions with porn and free lap dances. But, best of luck, nonetheless.
Bravo <golf clap>
the ever popular canadian ballet
Perhaps you could print and frame some of your comments from ZH and call it: Bombastic Bullshit. Sounds like it would fit right in.
I represent the Bilderburg group. Your appeal has made us decide to change our ways, and we'll be donating the Holy Grail, to your cause!
Wouldn't want to miss it for the world. What a worthy cause.
9/10. Almost as good as Zoolander's "Derelicte".
Thank you very much for your kind invitation. I would be glad to attend your first class exhibition, and speed up our fight against climate change. Could I settle your apiece expenditure in fine EUR instead of USD? I am sure, you will be proud to physically hold a currency used by many progressive people like me living outside of the United States.
It's times like these I feel weak and powerless for only being able to click the up arrow once.
climate change is the right wings version of performance art.
errrr left wing???
fixed it for ya!
sarc???
I would subtitle your What is Art? with the phrase "Everything that is wrong with the United States".
I do not agree with the "climate change" bullcrap, or the IPCC - a Communist front group, and view sending them 1 cent, as endorsement of suicide. You should raise the ticket price to a much larger sum.
(By the way, I've got a half eaten sandwich .... that's got some green shit on it, in the fridge, I could let you have it for say $5,000).
So, just like, "if anything is art, nothing is art", you can say, where "anything is government, nothing is government"?
I'm just waiting for Netflix to move "Mad Max" from the list for Action/Scifi, to Documentary.
What the hell is up with all this global warming crap??? Its cyclical morons!!!!! Are we polluting mars, jupiter, pluto, et al - because their atmospheric temperatures are increasing as well!!! Its the SUN stupid!!!!!!!
what if MDB had a sarc button AND an alter ego and the alter ego was a notorius practical joker and he got his hands on the sarc button....is this what it would look like?
.
And so it shall be.
you also read the harbinger?............................
Make it so!
By "It" do they mean the Ponzi schemes?
Keep it going, going, gone.
Wonder why the faces have been blurred out?
Are they blurred out? I thought they both just look like Cramer's butt.
So, the Google privacy filters are also fooled by the cartoon facade of Obummer and his bag man? So lifelike, yet so lifeless.
Corruption, bitchez.
Global warming has this effect on some cities. It's rare, I'll grant you that, but I suspect Al has proof. Carbon Tax should clear all this up.
Yes they can.
Someone fails to see the humor.

Not too late to switch the venue for the Escape from New York reboot to Camden. Seems like production costs would be much lower there.
Hah ha ha ha
The Reality Version!
Why isn't Romney smart enough to run with stuff like this.
Das Romneystein liest ZH nicht.
Because it doesn't really matter who wins the election.
Wall Street is paying Romney to lose the election. Simple as that.
Jamie already won
Latest polls show Helicopter Ben has taken off.
How fitting; reality trumps perception yet again.
Camden in the shitter while Corzine the crook having mimosa's and shrimp on a beach somewhere and Obummer appearing on Letterman and The View.
Another four years and all will be better, they just need more time (and money).
Camden will look like Palm Beech if the Obaminator gets his way, and the rest of the country will look like Camden.
The higher the unemployment rate, the better for the markets. I wish it would be 30%, the game has to be played ad absurdum. In the max, until BO is (not will be) reelected. Go for it! Do not miss the once in a life time 100% success guarantee by no other than the master himself.
I wonder how many bankers live over there...
the libertarians and anarchists here should like it better with no cops, no teachers, and no military. this should be seen as a positive development unless everyone has turned into pussies overnight.
Nice chicken picking. I would say that much of the abject poverty has directly been caused by the shifting of assets over to failed institutions in the form of bailouts, QE, etc. This misallocation of assets to failed organizations leads directly to higher cost of living for everyone else. Pull that together with drugs being illegal and you have the recipe for cities just like Camden. So go ahead and pick one detail of libertarianism ideals and then ignore root causes of the poverty and violence.
Plus, I just have to say this - "TWOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKSSSSS"

<< Pull that together with drugs being illegal and you have the recipe for cities just like Camden. >>
'Pull that together with drugs being illegal and you have the recipe for cities just like that across the country.'
Fixed it for you Doctor.
Libertarians are the antithesis of anarchists.
I should know better than to respond to an obvious troll, but libertairians want limited, but SUSTAINABLE goverment. Property rights are essential to Libertarianism, as is a rule of law void of crony favors.
What we have now is neither limited nor sustainable. Something's gotta give. An out-of-control government eventually collapses in on itself. In a worst case, we'll get something too close to anarchy, at least for a period of time until the system resets.
That's exactly what Libertarians want to avoid.
Government requires revenue which has always been extracted involuntarily and therefore your property rights under government can never be absolute. When the elite government class has the right to extract wealth at the point of a gun you will inevitably end up in a system of wealth redistribution. It's foolish to give strangers the right to take as much of your money as they need and not expect them to take as much as they want.
Not all gov revenue is extracted "involuntarily" per se. I'd gladly subject myself to a small tax to support a limited government, if that's what we had. There are obvious economies of scale pooling resources for a national defense and enforceable rule of law.
But I agree with your overall point...absolute power corrupts absolutely. Would have been nice had we stuck to the 10th ammendment to keep the central gov small. Maybe the founders were on to something.
a tax other than an income tax. An income tax is a tax for war. always has been, always will be.
Good pt. No property taxes either; if my property can be taxed, it's not my property.
Money extracted from you in any form of tax is no longer your property.
Consumption tax or flat income tax are fine by me, as long as it funds a limited gov.
What will stop those in government from increasing their mandate while the majority of citizens watch football?
That'd never happen...
The fix was in from day one. There was nothing wrong with The Articles of Confederation except that the Federal government had little power to extract wealth from the states or from individuals.
One does not need government in order to live lawfully and securely. In fact, the presence of an elite class with guns and the supposed moral right to use them against the citizenry pretty much makes security impossible for the little people. Government has always been incompatible with the rights of man.
"Libertarians are the antithesis of anarchists."
Err, no.
A libertarian is someone who accepts the NAP. Therefore, many anarchists are libertarians (anarcho-capitalists, such as myself), some libertarians are not anarchists (the minarchists, for example), and some anarchists are not libertarians (anarcho-socialists).
(Some anarcho-communists would actually qualify as libertarians, as long as they reject the use of violence to achieve their ends. The fact that their philosophy of living doesn't scale beyond a small handful of people is irrelevant for the purposes of the NAP.)
an-comms dont believe in property rights.
As long as everyone in the "commune" agreed voluntarily to the rules of collective ownership, they would be perfectly consistent with the NAP and thus "libertarian" in nature.
Sure, they would starve to death shortly thereafter, but that just means that their system sucks, not that it's based on violence or statism.
The way the troll was defining "anarchy" was just total gov't collapse and chaos. Not exactly libertarian.
No cops is fine but I'd bet that if you were forced to defend yourself you would come before the law for judgement at some point. So it ain't really anarchy.
If the police actually focused on protection of property and people instead of revenue generation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWk1_Tgj-Fo&list=UUK7Q9Kl6xWpDtLIineKSgnw&index=1&feature=plcp - as well as non-violent offenses, then much of the issues being experienced in cities like Camden, couldhave been avoided.
But Dunkin' Donuts is safe. See they are performing a very important function.
George Washington recently wrote an article citing the importance of 'Rule of Law' in any free market society. Camden, Mogadishu, Monrovia, and all the other cited places anti-capitalists refer to as failed libertarian societies lack enforcement of laws and thus contract enforcement, private property protections, protection for businesses, etc. You might want to read that and get back to us.
I think this is a valid shot at Libertarians and should be addressed:
the libertarians and anarchists here should like it better with no cops, no teachers, and no military.
True and absolutely! But I have read other sources which say that they are just simply dumping the city cops, so they can actually INCREASE the number of cops to come in from the county. As for teachers, no Libertarian or Anarcho-Capitalist ever complained about teachers per se, they are against statists pointing guns at their heads and stealing money from them "for the chilrens" as for "no military" are you saying that drug laws will not be enforced in Camden? The "drug war" will be surrendered and no "drug warriors" in camden? No taxes to be taked since no "teachers?" Furthermore Jersey has exceedingly strict gun prohibitions, so while the thugs are all well armed, the law abiding citizen risks his freedom to do so. Your entire comment is a lie, and perhaps you should check yourself.
this should be seen as a positive development unless everyone has turned into pussies overnight.
If the dark shadow of the police state were lifted from Camden it would be positive, but alas, it remains a Socialist Police State hell with disarmed sheeple, no thanks!
Nice high def pic coming thru on the EVO.
Nope, no problem with the street view on the EVO.
Yes they sure brought a lot more of "IT" to Camden. And I'm sure there's even more where that load came from.
Could be their new slogan: "Obama/Corzine: Showering you with even more IT"
Because Romneys the useful losing patsy. Why replace a puppet with a muppet?

Oh dear,
Is Zerohedge going to back Romney ?
Is there a Tyler super duper PAC ?
I like Zerohedge because it holds all politicians in contempt (and rightfully so)
I can't believe there was never a billboard or newspaper advert in Camden for a Republican candidate ?
Bit cheap IMO. I thought ZH was above politics.
I guess I can look forward to an open endorsement in the next month or so ?
Just in case there is a doubt, both Obama and Romney are arseholes IMO and neither have any solution to the current economic crisis..
Just because Tyler puts something up that tells the truth about one side doesn't translate that they support the other. So you can go back to your cave Obama troll.
Obama Troll ? I called him an arsehole in my original post!
One of the biggest problems with the MSM is not dishonest reportage but selective reportage.
Is Zerohedge going to be part of the problem or part of the solution ?
So showing a picture of something is dishonest? Great point. You've convinced me.
No, being 'selective' imitates the worst characteristics of MSM which is responsible for hoodwinking the people.
I doubt there is anything I could write which could "convince you".
Look at the down arrows you are getting fool and check yourself.
Troll school lesson 1-- "Ingratiate yourself with the stupid sheeple you wish to fool, tell them you agree with them insist you think Obomba is a tool! Then accuse them of some treachery against their own principles: Sow massive confusion in their simple hearts!"
Cass fire this idiot.
ZH isnt promoting anybody and never has.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah you qualified yourself as a non-troll by calling him an arsehole...that certainly settles it. Zero Hedge is part of the solution by illuminating the corruption in the system. Something the press forgot was their duty. Now go back to the daily koz.
LOL,
............and Romney isn't part of the corrupt system ?
"Roll up! Roll up ! And choose your prefered delusion........."
You've been a member long enough to know the Tyler's are equal opportunity truth tellers. ... Listen... You hear that?.... It's farcebook calling your name. So why don't you write on the back of your hand why you pledge your allegiance to Obama... Place it over your heart and head over there and post your picture?
Don't think Tyler would have reported on corzine or obama 'cept for the fact that they are BOTH on a billboard together.
Understand the humor...........it's fucking hilarious
Camden is a fucking wreck, people's lives are in ruin, it is a sore which will fester and infect the body politic.
It didn't take 4 years for that to happen, or 12 years.
Fucking hilarious............
Are you dense or what?
The fucking point is the irony of Obama and Corzine in the billboard picture.
I'm probably 'what?' rather than 'dense'.
:-)
Dude nothing you said is "fvcking hillaryous" more like "fvcking idiotic" and your strawman tarbaby act is pitiful. You have fooled NOT ONE SINGLE SHEEPLE on this site.
Cass please remove this operative from the program he's damn boring.
Total customer non-satisfaction.
Lighten-up gojam, take a pill.
Tyler, this is business and this man is taking it very, very personal.
But if you live in camden or have to look at the shit-hole from philly, I can understand your vent
Pill taken.................. relax...........................and..........................................breath.
Thanks HO .
I'm sure many people here would be happy to precipitate in your solution.
Hallucinate often?
It really doesn't take much effort to understand that this has nothing to do with Mittens or the election, but rather, is about Camden and this advertisement for its saviors. See, this mix of outcomes is incongruous, and therefore FUNNY (well it was before you went all stupid in the thread, seeing things that don't exist)
Go be a tard somewhere else. The only cheap shots around here seem to be coming from you.
It is a shame that you can't accept an alternative view without being insulting.
You obviously feel passionate about it.....................
Insulting? You seem to have forgotten this is Fight Club.
That billboard pic NEEDS to go viral!!

I snorted a booger out my nose!
"That billboard pic NEEDS to go viral!!"...unfortunately the results of their combined crookedness already has.
Who wants to start a tech company and make gazillions?
All you need to do is write a robot that goes around Streetview and removes politically embarrasing evidence like this.
Once the robot finds it, you can then auction the Remove / Do Not Remove action off to the highest bidder :-)
Meanwhile, in an air conditioned ivory tower located in princeton...
more stimulus, more stimulus...
i'm giving you all she's got captain, benny tells shumer...
I'm sure all those folks in Princeton been meanin to get down to Camden to show their support.
Ironically, a taxed crack cocaine depo would provide the best solution for reinvigoration, of the dismal local economy.
LMAO Tyler! That was a good one ;-) "Hope and Disdain" Should be Otools new campaign slogan.
The Commander and Thief.
Corzine soon to be assigned Treasury Secretary, He'll make whatever money is left disappear.

And they have kept Camden going - right down the toilet.

MDB is the trolls troller.
MDB is a troll that never quits.......
The more down votes, the more it comes back....
If I were to guess I would say a major portion of the 47% live in Camden ......
really, the people of camden are not doing so poorly.......they get temporary housing assistance, mcdonalds that accepts food cards, medicaid, free cell phones, and most have cable, internet, flat screen tvs, etc..............................however, you dont want to be anywhere near this city when welfare breaks down....then you will see what a hellish city looks like......................
you dont want to be anywhere near this city when welfare breaks down
Indeed - the phrase "killing field" comes to mind. But I wouldn't limit it to this future hellmouth, though.
I think Camden (and Ironically Richmond VA) already qualifies as "third world killing field" by murder rate, somewhere between South Africa and Mexico. And this is with the lights "on"
true kito
many of the largest cities of states are facing this hell.
I could tellyou why, but I think ZH readers know
camden, detroit, sacramento........boom!
'Change' the sign to "Keep going" and 'hope' you can make it through Camden.
Dont worry Camden we have Christies NJ Comeback to clean up the mess left by Corzine and Obama. /sarc !!!!
Well thats a nice picture of :
- The Commander in Thief
- The Former Governor of New Bribsey
Camden may have a high crime rate & it may not have a police force however I would wager that Corzine STOLE more money via the MF Global swindle than many multiples of all of the property stolen in & around Camden since its incorporation...If you want Corzine to headquarter his hedge fund in Camden simply indicate that all Camden tax receipts will be deposited into customer segregation, governed by SEC rule 15c3-3-1 & require a firm to provide fiduciary services...I am Mary Shapiro & I approve this message...
When welfare breaks down then the good citizens fo Comden will be forced to find a job. It will be better for them in the long run too.
How was lunch at the country club today?
Oh, Gov. Christie put it on his expense account........
I see lots of jobe there...roofing..electrical..plumbing..road repair..lawn maintaince...painting...remodeling...you name it..thousands of jobs just fixing up your won hellhole...but nooo...it is so much easier to live off of other people..and to smoke crack..
Is there anyone still left there who is able to pay for those jobs you mentioned?
I would be willing to bet that we will see strip joints, glory holes and peep shows on Times Square before this is over with...
A return to the '70s it is then.
