Quote Of The Day From Gary "Batman" Gensler

Tyler Durden's picture




 

There was a lot of competition for Quote of the Day today. Between President Obama's double-speak, a rationally exuberant Janet Yellen, and overnight idiocy from Suga and Abe, choices were numerous. But the following from Gary Gensler - still chair of the CFTC - took the provberial biscuit:

  • *GENSLER: 'I THINK MARKETS WORK BEST WHEN THEY'RE TRANSPARENT' (but)
  • *GENSLER SAYS HE 'BENFITED FROM DARKNESS' IN WALL STREET CAREER

Well that sums it all up.. The question is - will Massad have a CFTC-shaped floodlight fixed to the roof of the agencies' building?

Gensler deserves a terminal case of anything.

May his soul be condemned to the darkness he has enjoyed in life.

How illuminating! The words of Jesus certainly speak to that...

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:19-21)

In other words, if they were really doing "God's work" they wouldn't need the cover of darkness. In fact, they would "come to the light" so as to show they are true.

Zionist Wall Street works best in the dark...that is everyone is in the dark except for the zionist themselves...So we have Bernanke give the helm to another Jew Yellen AND we have Gensler hand over the reign to another Jew Massad....No wonder theres no good jobs left, you have to belong to the tribe to get one.

on the contrary, the wall streeters and zionists are more deeply in the darkness than anyone else...  best to serve their true master that way, the lord or darkness himself.   not being sarcastic.  until people wake up to see the reality of what these people are into, the world will not change.

Nature relies on deception.  Humans are OF nature.

Where it all goes bad is our insiting that we have to have gods and masters, as this sets up a stage where those seeking to master deception can impact large swaths of people.

Does he think he is Marlow? is he saying he has seen the darkness of Wall Street and he is shaken...? More please.

"And this also," said Marlow suddenly, "has been one of the dark places of the earth."

The CFTC was sunk the day Brooksley Born resigned in June 1999 because she was denied the ability to regulate the derivatives market.

And he's "paying forward" the darkness he's enjoyed by proliferating a completely broken market via CFTC inaction. Oh, and I would imagine he has a few dollars invested with those he knows are benefiting most from the his cloak of darkness.

Remember his name, he will make the top 100 list of those who killed Capitalism.

Sounds like he wants to come clean about all the horseshit that has been going on in the "free and transparent markets".  I see an untimely death in his future, either hit and run, heart attack while in a hot tub, or 5 self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head.

"5 self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the back of the head"

It's entirely possible if you work for GS.  Of course, this only holds true if those bullets aren't silver...

Maybe Gensler was confused when he'd hired on.  Maybe he thought that he heard that he'd be WORKING WITH Robin, not that he'd be robbing...

I'll tell him what's transparent.  Every day, at precisely 5:00 PM EST, until 5:15 PM, anywhere from 20,000 to over 100,000 contracts are dumped on the silver market.  Yesterday was about 72,000, today 42,000.

It's really obvious.

Check it out at NetDania, set the time to 5 or 15 minutes, turn on the volume chart, and see for yourselves.  This has gone on for at least 3 weeks now.

With very few exceptions, most great fortunes in history have been amassed with amoral, immoral or illegal activities. 

Even so, all crooks quickly realize that no matter how useful and enriching it may have been to live a life of crime, the moment you're rich you have a vested interest in "integrity".  That's why there is no one more "upstanding" than an ex-hooker, or more honorable and sanctimonious than an ex-crook.

There is nothing cleaner or more respected than dirty money, aged well.
