IRS official: Lavish conference followed IRS rules

Laws are legal!
I fart in your general direction you silly Ke-nig-its
Like all the big movement trades, there must be devastating losses imposed upon the small traders until they are demoralized, BK'd, or pressed from the fray. Examples: US index flash crashes, bond gyrations, USDJPY and JGB whipsaws. It is the financial EMPs which clear the hull, destroying the small fry. Thereafter the big entities with government's kindly countenance may enter and all money creation is funnelled to its intended purpose. Markets of every colour and stripe now exist to serve LevIathan with a second propaganda feature which the small unwashed use as the wind indicator or mood ring direction finder.
In other words, the usury system we've renamed Ponzi and represents all who've MadeOff with unearned gains has reached its brownout phase. Every legitimate enterprise, every secret sophisticated con, every surreptitious connivance of counterfeit has been so exhausted that the high order gov'ts must resort Open Lies and ugly behaviour in pure sunshine. They put flying monkeys of spin doctors to counterdict pure math and convince the sub 120IQ crowd that artificiality is sustainable reality.
Every nation state a field with some in flower, others in fallow. 15th century Chinese would have laughed up their sleeve to consider any western nation a presumptive contender for culture or technology. The USA believes that land, structures, Potemkin markets, and bond/currency fraud are sufficient to create wealth.
Meanwhile their vassal, Edo, languishes as their energy plans are demolished, their markets sacked by other Asia, their debt and currency under seige like a fat bellied whale left defenseless to a pack of blood sharks. This is why they have smoked through 10 finance ministers in six years. It is because Japan is different. Culture is unlike anything in the Anglo-American fabric. They look forward but deeply back. They revere the past, they revere their elders, they worship their ancestors. And most reverent to uphold is the old social distinctions. Nobles or warrior class who kept the peace, maintained social harmony, dispensed justice, and tinkered upon high culture to the farmers who produced the fuel upon which the entire nation's bellies depended.
Last was Eta similar to untouchables in the subcontinent. Dealt with death, touched the dead, buried the dead.
Japan's latest crew of political assignees are ETA. They are the new NokanShi. See Departures (the movie). They prepare (in the open eyes of all mourning invited) the body. Ceremoniously, with deep dignity and beauty, unsparing of expense for robes, cypress coffins, every contrivance. But they touch the dead, they prepare the dead for the send off. They console themselves that they are gatekeepers sending the soul to its next existence. But they are ETA. Highly compensated, indistinguishable by cursory glance, but ETA.
Japan is Dead. and Nokanshi are its leaders, now become ETA. And the Anglo-American banking system is the furnace into which all this elaboration is tossed. And consumed. Producing nothing but smoke and ash and everywhere grayness where once was beauty and industry.
Since free market capitalism has been abandoned, all is brownouts systemically with the worst effect and side symptoms masked by thin air money creation.
If freeloaders throughout the world began passing handwritten IOUs to further their indulgences, creditors would quickly put a stop to that.
How different then is it to take state printed goofy paper the same or worse?
Open air secrets in plain sight. Build a better mousetrap and the world beats a path to your door. The best mousetrap--FIAT. Sub120 mice run to the cheese under the ever heavier backloaded spring in plain sight. And never look up.
Alexandre, nicely written!
So, logically........

NAMBLA claims all NAMBLA rules followed during Annual NAMBLA Jamboree
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
So in the ongoing struggle to convey critical information to the masses, I have been trying to think of ways to describe the problems we face in the future in AS FEW WORDS as possible. Here goes...
A choice has to be made between:
1) the continued existence of the government/status quo
or
2) the US Dollar.
BTW, the status quo gets to make the final decision. Determine the most likely outcome!
The internment of people in labor camps and the killing of millions upon millions of people by Nazi Germany was "legal" too.
It is and will be legal here too, in "the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
Now, is it "work" that makes one free or "working?!"
P.S. Any US intelligence agents that are reading this, please delete the records of my affair with my secretary. I don't want my wife or mistress to find out. Thanks a bunch, and if you are ever in the neighborhood, come on by.

The economy feels fine! The economy feels happy!!
Somehow the following seems so appropriate, maybe because the opposite is true of things today where it seems like there are Zombies everywhere - dead that can't be killed or simply won't die.
" I'm not dead. I'm feeling better! I don't want to go..... I feel fine.... I think I'm goin' for a walk... I feel happy.... I feel happy....." THUNK.

And at the end of the clip, the classic:
"Who's that?"
........."Must be a king - he hasn't got shit all over him."
It's all fun and games until someone loses an economy...
It's not quite dead yet...
But sadly, it really IS. It's like "Weekend at Bernies" - propping up a corpse and pretending all is well.
Oh yes it is dead... but it won't be considered as such until it is officially declared by TPTB to be dead which of course it never will be...
The "It's not quite dead yet" is a spoof of the protestation of the "I'm not dead yet" peasant that was being loaded onto the wagon...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8mNjeuyV4
And "Weekend at Bernies" is an all-time CLASSIC.
Plus he's having trouble finding the tombstone of Mr. is.
Merely a flesh wound.
Kind of like the self inflicted wounds of the ZH anti free speech code.
Lots of the adults seem to have gone AWOL.
Every form of oppression has its price.
People may not be commenting but they're still reading.
Seems to have lost the center of the country.
Everything from the Blue Ridge to the High Sierra.
Lots of folks don't like being insulted. They also don't like sloppy socialism.
It proves Alistair Cooke's observation that New York is the most provincial little place in the world.
I'd politely suggest GREPing my comments for a reason (Hint: Swiss / EU hard-core legislation).
If you look to the NSA "recording everything" posts, you might start to understand how comments on a blog can be used as legal weapons. If you really imagine everything online isn't logged in the same manner, then you're either a fool, a tool, or a useful idiot. At the very least, educate yourself. The war is being fought in milliseconds, by expensive lawyers, International Laws and so on. Trust me: the wilds of middle America is not where the real action is going down.
If you're too immature to understand this, then you're not an adult, so I suggest getting out of your paddling pool and swimming with the real sharks.
And some of us post despite this, 'cause reasons. Ceasing to post / read because some theoretical "Free Speech" ethos has been breached is about as stupid as it gets. Your worst nightmare might be the FBI asking some dumb questions (at which point you calmly say nothing & grab a lawyer): some of us will get V&'d for this sooner or later. (And worse - or do you not know about the multiple Black CIA torture sites around the world?)
p.s. The junk says it all: wanker.
Thanks for proving my point about New York, ilene.
It wasn't my junk. I prefer honesty and open debate.
This seems to be where infinite paranoia leads. My sympathy.
And yet, you managed to address none (nada, zero, muppet levels of zilch) about my post, just add in some High School level of insult? Fuck me skippy, you're sorely missed. Tell me more about your adult ways.
Try harder: want to answer any of my points? You know, ZH not being hosted in 'Murica n all? This is a throw down now, so step up, step up, and play the game. And yes, us adults might be crying as we post this.
Wow, check the dose level on that medication.
OK, why not try HONESTY?
If the problem is and was a law suit in Switzerland, be honest about that. There are plenty of good legal minds, and some people with actual political connections who would like to help. If you know the whole world is out to get you, that's a self-fulfilling prophesy. Telling truth to power, or at least humiliating power, used to be what decent journalism was all about.
Give the readership some respect. Give truth a chance, and save some of those "millions" for WB7.
ROTFLMAO
Again, you missed the point. I'm fairly good at honesty, if you want to play adults. You might want to do a GREP then do a fact-check. You might be surprised at the Future Reality Truth to them. Remind me when your "political connections" or "legal minds" (from deep in the MidWest) stopped war, please do. If you view ZH as anything but an extension of war, you're either stupid or being disingenuous (or, as I can smell, not a friend to ZH).
Again, as I'm contractually obliged to ask this three times, what does a minor warning that agrees with Legal Doctrine that isn't actually enforced (Francis is still posting) have anything to do with der Wille zur Macht, American Ideology of "Free Speech" or anything I've said? Can you give me an answer, before the Cock Crows?
Please tell me, (or do me the decency of actually addressing any of my questions) how some Middle American poster of average ability is going to influence one of the most powerful European Political Groups (again, do a GREP) or even match them for resources? If you can, you're probably not the droids we're looking for. Octopus, Octopus, Octopus.
And you know what, I was going to post the Yellow Submarine Animation, but all we found was this:
This video contains content from EMI Music Publishing, AdShare MG for a Third Party, Sony ATV Publishing, Apple Corps Ltd and EMI, one or more of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.Guess what? Yep, the original animation can no longer be seen. Even though it was legally filmed a long time ago, but I guess a HD remake is all it takes. RetroSpective CopyRight again, Cunts. Oh, and for the record: your Monkey Tactics of Mental Illness Slurring doesn't work on my kind.
We don't suffer that kind of break down like you do, simply doesn't work the same way.
So... Fuck you.
Oh, and p.s.: Today was the memorial to D-Day, and some of us bothered remembering the dead (on all sides). If you're unmoved by the link after the famous Eton song, to Newbolt, and don't even understand why it was posted, you're not a predator, you're a cockroach. A parasite, even.
After a few thousand comments, I have no idea how many, and recommending ZH to anyone who would listen for over three years I should qualify as a friend of ZH, but who really cares?
The free speech problem, since you asked, is that these things are always done from a PC lefty perspective. There is never any threat or intimidation to anyone left of center, no matter how demented or radical.
I can't begin to parse the rest of that, so I'll wait for Boris' translation from the Russian. Good night, ilene. I hope some day you will learn to listen. It has a calming effect that we could all use in these troubled times.
Cock Crowed. Dawn, my favourite time.
Your problem is that you don't understand the world; you're speaking purely out of an American viewpoint, and you're ignorant to boot:
Less than two years after a monument was raised in Madrid to the 35,000 volunteers who joined the International Brigades to fight the fascist-backed forces of General Francisco Franco during the Spanish civil war, a court has ordered that it be pulled down. [Guardian 5th June]
Free Speech is constrained by both the Radical Left and the Right. Always has been, always will be.
It's about control, not ideology. And you're so ignorant, you don't even see it within your own society [hint, dear: It ain't about the Red or the Blue, read the fucking Patriot Act you muppet].
If you want it in Russian: here it is (hint: they're Russian, and there's a whole realm of Russian protest music you know nothing about. I won't post the Russian language stuff from multiple bands, you'll probably think the fucking Marxists are coming, even though they're all protesting against Putin and Old Skool Communism).
There was a test: you failed. Oh, and you're really lucky that the slurs on my mental health were so laughable. Spend two hours 1-1 and I'd break your tiny little mind in two. That's not a threat, it's just reality; my problem would be making sure I didn't do it by accident, if you need a reference. You're that fragile; imagine capturing a butterfly in your hand as it beats against your window, and trying not to break the dust off its wings or crushing it by accident while trying to set it free: that's your reality of Mind versus mine. You're. That. Insignificant. And. Frail.
D-Day, don't forget it. Here's Turkey tonight, bitch.
Despite yer oversized opinion of yerself, you STILL have illusions you've not dealt with (on this plane of existence). ALL is Maya.
Implying that my replies are anything but art.
Interesting. Still, +1 for Maya.
There's no glory in war.
War - rich old men sending poor young men to kill other poor young men so that the rich old men can get richer.
Both my grandfather and father paid dearly for WW1 and WW2 respectively which had a huge effect on my life too.
It's time for war to go extinct.
+1 for dexter linkage ;-)
education for those who need it
Déjà vu all over again
edit:
the hits keep on coming
So either I missed it... or ZH didn't do a post about Draghi saying that he's considering negative deposit rates???
http://www.fxmarketalerts.com/free/document.aspx?premium=1&codes=7d83a1f...
Eurozone: ECB Draghi - technically ready for negative deposit rates, but no reason to actdouchebag CB'er says more bullshit and threatens pan-EU financial rape. Duly noted.
Now move on to the clip of MP lobbing the holy handgrenade!!!
Isn't that called a "bail-in"?
Not if bondholders don't get wiped out first. Welcome to the new bankruptcy hierarchy..... "whatever I, omniscient politician, feel like doing."
Negative deposit rates can be very beneficial for stimulating much higher rates of 'economic growth' in a collapsing formerly consumption-based economy.
Although administering an anal monetary suppository to the corpse of a constipated and gassily bloated financial system may have some unintended side-effects...
Unintended side-effects like lack of sleep from having sleep on really lumpy matresses or frost bite from having get your grocery money out the freezer.
You missed it....

Tyler ran the live webcast with a mention of negative rates earlier.

How else do you get Congress to do what you want?
This is nothing new. Cheney uh... Bush was expert at this. Remember all the vehement opposition in Congress - often by Republicans - who folded and 'went along' at the last minute? No need for Watergate when you can listen in to all calls and read all e-mails..... You can get anyone to do what you want when you know the skeletons in their closet.
It's just a flesh wound!
Perhaps if we built a large wooden badger...
It's not the size of the bunny in the hunt, its the size of the hunt in the bunny.

And what do you use to burn the central bankers?
Moar central bankers!
Everyone can smell it because it fucking stinks...
What's no laughing matter...
1. Vladimir Putin and his wife of 30 years, Lyudmila are getting divorced. I take it she's taking taking her/his secrets to the grave?
2. The Rice-A-Roni treat: First Condy Rice, now Susan Rice? What/who's next? Europeans are protesting or rioting, while Americans are... doing what exactly? All Hat, No Cattle?
3. NATO wants Sweden, Finland and Georgia to join its club. Russia rebuffed. The writing is on the (Kremlin) wall -- in multiple languages: English, Russian, and Hebrew. Bear being antagonized into making "sucker swipe". Then it's off to WW3. Unless they have their own version of Global Shitdisturbers: My (Hezbollah) riff-raff can beat your (Al-CIA-dah) riff-raff.
YES
