Kappa Beta Phi Exposed (Redux)
As we initially exposed over five years ago, with luminary frat brothers and sister such as Jimmy Cayne, Richard Fuld, Stan O'Neil, Martin Gruss, Michael Bloomberg, Jon Corzine, Mary Shapiro, Alan Schwartz, Larry Fink, Larry Fink, Wilbur Ross, James McDonald, this "secret" organization puts the Masons, Bilderbergs, Skull and Bones, Templars, Fight Club and all other secret societies to shame. Now, as New York Magazine infiltrates the inner workings of the "Kappa Beta Phi" society, Liberty Blitzkrieg's Mike Krieger notes the following will confirm what everyone already thought - that a great many of these oligarch financiers are complete and total sociopaths and a menace to society.
I can still remember
How the Dow Jones used to make me smile.
And I learned my trade and had my chance
The music played I did my dance
And I made seven figures for a while.
I can't remember if I cried
when they pulled the plug on Countrywide...
It sucks that Iceland is out of ice....
Bye, Bye to my piece of the pie...
Now I travel coach whenever I fly...
Maybe this will be the day that I die.

Here’s What Happened When a Journalist Crashed a Wall Street Secret Society
Before we get into this post, let’s review the definition of Antisocial Personality Disorder according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine:
Antisocial Personality Disorder: A mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal.
Now for the symptoms:
Symptoms:
A person with antisocial personality disorder may:
- Be able to act witty and charming
- Be good at flattery and manipulating other people’s emotions
- Break the law repeatedly
- Disregard the safety of self and others
- Have problems with substance abuse
- Lie, steal, and fight often
- Not show guilt or remorse
- Often be angry or arrogant
How about treatment?
Treatment:
Antisocial personality disorder is one of the most difficult personality disorders to treat. People with this condition rarely seek treatment on their own. They may only start therapy when required to by a court.
Behavioral treatments, such as those that reward appropriate behavior and have negative consequences for illegal behavior, may hold the most promise. Certain forms of talk therapy are also being explored.
Exactly as many of us have said. Jail time and accountability are necessary to stop these people. Bailouts will only encourage continued sociopathic behavior, which is exactly what we have seen. Think about the above as you read the post below. Enjoy…

The following article by Kevin Roose was published late last night by New York Magazine, and it recounts what the journalist saw when he crashed Wall Street fraternity Kappa Beta Phi’s private party back in 2012. Some elements of his experience were already published a couple years back in a New York Times piece, but his latest article adds an additional perspective and recounts many outrageous aspects of the event I had never read before. This article is particularly important considering the recent trend of billionaires running around on financial television claiming they are being prosecuted for no reason.
Basically, it will confirm what everyone already thought. That a great many of these oligarch financiers are complete and total sociopaths and a menace to society.
From New York Magazine:
Recently, our nation’s financial chieftains have been feeling a little unloved. Venture capitalists are comparing the persecution of the rich to the plight ofJews at Kristallnacht, Wall Street titans are saying that they’re sick of being beaten up, and this week, a billionaire investor, Wilbur Ross, proclaimed that “the 1 percent is being picked on for political reasons.”
Ross’s statement seemed particularly odd, because two years ago, I met Ross at an event that might single-handedly explain why the rest of the country still hates financial tycoons – the annual black-tie induction ceremony of a secret Wall Street fraternity called Kappa Beta Phi.
It was January 2012, and Ross, wearing a tuxedo and purple velvet moccasins embroidered with the fraternity’s Greek letters, was standing at the dais of the St. Regis Hotel ballroom, welcoming a crowd of two hundred wealthy and famous Wall Street figures to the Kappa Beta Phi dinner. Ross, the leader (or “Grand Swipe”) of the fraternity, was preparing to invite 21 new members — “neophytes,” as the group called them — to join its exclusive ranks.
Yeah Ross, what’s not to love about a guy like you.
Looking up at him from an elegant dinner of rack of lamb and foie gras were many of the most famous investors in the world, including executives from nearly every too-big-to-fail bank, private equity megafirm, and major hedge fund. AIG CEO Bob Benmosche was there, as were Wall Street superlawyer Marty Lipton and Alan “Ace” Greenberg, the former chairman of Bear Stearns. And those were just the returning members. Among the neophytes were hedge fund billionaire and major Obama donor Marc Lasry and Joe Reece, a high-ranking dealmaker at Credit Suisse. All told, enough wealth and power was concentrated in the St. Regis that night that if you had dropped a bomb on the roof, global finance as we know it might have ceased to exist.
If you recall, last year Mr. Benmosche compared anger at Wall Street bonuses to the lynching of black people in the south.
I’d heard whisperings about the existence of Kappa Beta Phi, whose members included both incredibly successful financiers (New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Goldman Sachs chairman John Whitehead, hedge-fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones) and incredibly unsuccessful ones (Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld, Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne, former New Jersey governor and MF Global flameout Jon Corzine). It was a secret fraternity, founded at the beginning of the Great Depression, that functioned as a sort of one-percenter’s Friars Club. Each year, the group’s dinner features comedy skits, musical acts in drag, and off-color jokes, and its group’s privacy mantra is “What happens at the St. Regis stays at the St. Regis.” For eight decades, it worked. No outsider in living memory had witnessed the entire proceedings firsthand.
After cocktail hour, the new inductees – all of whom were required to dress in leotards and gold-sequined skirts, with costume wigs – began their variety-show acts. Among the night’s lowlights:
• Warren Stephens, an investment banking CEO, took the stage in a Confederate flag hat and sang a song about the financial crisis, set to the tune of “Dixie.” (“In Wall Street land we’ll take our stand, said Morgan and Goldman. But first we better get some loans, so quick, get to the Fed, man.”)
The neophytes – who had changed from their drag outfits into Mormon missionary costumes — broke into their musical finale: a parody version of “I Believe,” the hit ballad from The Book of Mormon, with customized lyrics like “I believe that God has a plan for all of us. I believe my plan involves a seven-figure bonus.” Amused, I pulled out my phone, and began recording the proceedings on video. Wrong move.
“Give me that or I’ll fucking break it!” Novogratz yelled, grabbing for my phone, which was filled with damning evidence. His eyes were bloodshot, and his neck veins were bulging. The song onstage was now over, and a number of prominent Kappas had rushed over to our table. Before the situation could escalate dangerously, a bond investor and former Grand Swipe named Alexandra Lebenthal stepped in between us. Wilbur Ross quickly followed, and the two of them led me out into the lobby, past a throng of Wall Street tycoons, some of whom seemed to be hyperventilating.
Once we made it to the lobby, Ross and Lebenthal reassured me that what I’d just seen wasn’t really a group of wealthy and powerful financiers making homophobic jokes, making light of the financial crisis, and bragging about their business conquests at Main Street’s expense. No, it was just a group of friends who came together to roast each other in a benign and self-deprecating manner. Nothing to see here.
But the extent of their worry wasn’t made clear until Ross offered himself up as a source for future stories in exchange for my cooperation.
“I’ll pick up the phone anytime, get you any help you need,” he said.
“Yeah, the people in this group could be very helpful,” Lebenthal chimed in. “If you could just keep their privacy in mind.”
This is how these guys talk to everyone, particularly Congress. They are used to getting anything they want because of their money.
The first and most obvious conclusion was that the upper ranks of finance are composed of people who have completely divorced themselves from reality. No self-aware and socially conscious Wall Street executive would have agreed to be part of a group whose tacit mission is to make light of the financial sector’s foibles. Not when those foibles had resulted in real harm to millions of people in the form of foreclosures, wrecked 401(k)s, and a devastating unemployment crisis.
The second thing I realized was that Kappa Beta Phi was, in large part, a fear-based organization. Here were executives who had strong ideas about politics, society, and the work of their colleagues, but who would never have the courage to voice those opinions in a public setting. Their cowardice had reduced them to sniping at their perceived enemies in the form of satirical songs and sketches, among only those people who had been handpicked to share their view of the world. And the idea of a reporter making those views public had caused them to throw a mass temper tantrum.
Cowards, yes. Dangerous cowards, absolutely.
Full article here, and I highly suggest reading it as it includes some creepy audio from this oligarch frat party.

I don't think any organization puts anyone to shame except the Bohemian Club, which most likely extends to these sick fucks.
NO ONE....and I mean no one...puts Fight Club to shame!

There once was a [wo]man named Corzine
[S]he never went to jail.
FREE Jon Corzine!!!
Man, that never gets old!
Larry Fink and other evil twin brother, Larry Fink...?
"All told, enough wealth and power was concentrated in the St. Regis that night that if you had dropped a bomb on the roof, global finance as we know it might have ceased to exist."
What an excellent idea!
There once was a prick named Corzine
Who never had to do any time
It was all understood
that he'd stay in his 'hood
and hang out with the rest of the slime.
"All told, enough wealth and power was concentrated in the St. Regis that night that if you had dropped a bomb on the roof, global finance as we know it might have ceased to exist."
What an excellent idea!"
I was thinking that about the conference at Davos actually.
The joke's on them. Not only did they positively lap up the clam chowder, but they gorged on the lobster bisque.
It's late here but did I miss the part where he explained how he got invited to this shindig in the first place?
Duplicare, sorry. fat Finger.
I am the leader of the most secretive society in the world.
In fact it's so secretive there is only one member, we have only had 1 meeting in our entire history, during which nothing was said.
It doesn't get any more secret than that.
these reprobates are the visual sign of the cancer in our culture. they are not the cause, which is society's mistaken notion that money is wealth. john locke once said that "true wealth is in a man's labor". the cancer will disappear when we become self sufficient (as we were before the industrial revolution) and control the production of our food, clothing and shelter. and of course, our local governments. the tools we will need are courage, wisdom and love.
I'm gonna forward this to my shrinks, they really need to know about this, cause they might have a problem to worry about in the near future.
I call bullshit on this thread. Why would this secret organization allow a reporter inside to share the story?
Read the article. He used subterfuge to sneak past the registration desk.
How could you overlook The Pilgrims?
And ,of course, The Ashkenazim Society, which meets even more privately, where poor gentile journalists never venture?
From the article:
No outsider in living memory had witnessed the entire proceedings firsthand.
I wanted to break the streak for several reasons. As part of my research for my book, Young Money, I’d been investigating the lives of young Wall Street bankers – the 22-year-olds toiling at the bottom of the financial sector’s food chain. I knew what made those people tick. But in my career as a financial journalist, one question that proved stubbornly elusive was what happened to Wall Streeters as they climbed the ladder to adulthood. Whenever I’d interviewed CEOs and chairmen at big Wall Street firms, they were always too guarded, too on-message and wrapped in media-relations armor to reveal anything interesting about the psychology of the ultra-wealthy. But if I could somehow see these barons in their natural environment, with their defenses down, I might be able to understand the world my young subjects were stepping into.
So when I learned when and where Kappa Beta Phi’s annual dinner was being held, I knew I needed to try to go.
Getting in was shockingly easy — a brisk walk past the sign-in desk, and I was inside cocktail hour. Immediately, I saw faces I recognized from the papers. I picked up an event program and saw that there were other boldface names on the Kappa Beta Phi membership roll — among them, then-Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Home Depot billionaire Ken Langone, Morgan Stanley bigwig Greg Fleming, and JPMorgan Chase vice chairman Jimmy Lee. Any way you count, this was one of the most powerful groups of business executives in the world. (Since I was a good 20 years younger than any other attendee, I suspect that anyone taking note of my presence assumed I was a waiter.)
I hadn’t counted on getting in to the Kappa Beta Phi dinner, and now that I had gotten past security, I wasn’t sure quite what to do. I wanted to avoid rousing suspicion, and I knew that talking to people would get me outed in short order. So I did the next best thing — slouched against a far wall of the room, and pretended to tap out emails on my phone.
...
The neophytes – who had changed from their drag outfits into Mormon missionary costumes — broke into their musical finale: a parody version of “I Believe,” the hit ballad from The Book of Mormon, with customized lyrics like “I believe that God has a plan for all of us. I believe my plan involves a seven-figure bonus.” Amused, I pulled out my phone, and began recording the proceedings on video. Wrong move.
“Who the hell are you?” Novogratz demanded.
I felt my pulse spike. I was tempted to make a run for it, but – due to the ethics code of the New York Times, my then-employer – I had no choice but to out myself.
“I’m a reporter,” I said.
Novogratz stood up from the table.
"You’re not allowed to be here," he said.
I, too, stood, and tried to excuse myself, but he grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let go.
“Give me that or I’ll fucking break it!” Novogratz yelled, grabbing for my phone, which was filled with damning evidence. His eyes were bloodshot, and his neck veins were bulging. The song onstage was now over, and a number of prominent Kappas had rushed over to our table. Before the situation could escalate dangerously, a bond investor and former Grand Swipe named Alexandra Lebenthal stepped in between us. Wilbur Ross quickly followed, and the two of them led me out into the lobby, past a throng of Wall Street tycoons, some of whom seemed to be hyperventilating. ...
Of course Corzine never had to do time. Mary Shapiro, former head of the SEC, has been a long standing member of Kappa Beta Phi, along with Corzine and his cronies. It's an exclusive frat and we ain't in it.
Now, if it were only recorded via google glass. "They Live" comes to mind.
rather than escorting the reporter out of the gathering, they should have just called the police.
or a watchman.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Slave_kidnap_post_185...
or the mayor or aldermen
Heads up: Corzine is set to run Obama's myra program.
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's...
Toga? Oh, wrong narcissist rulers.
And libertarians believe the state should not be allowed to forbid these societies...
No wonder why international high finance and it's sociopaths always have loved libertarians as their useful idiots to weaken the only force, that is dangerous to them: the strong nation state.
I heard Obama was shining shoes at the event!
Was he in Uncle Tom mode, or blackface?
Obama gives State subsidized (aka taxpayer supported), too-big-to-fail, utterly incompetent, wealth sucking parasitic financial entities better BJs than Clinton could ever imagine possible, daily.
Well yeah, that's because B Clinton is a heterosexual rapist while Obama is a queen.
Sure as hell not the Underdog variety. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a frog. And you're boiling mutherfucker.
Lyrics to Underdog theme: When criminals in this world appear / And break the laws that they should fear / And frighten all who see or hear / The cry goes up both far and near / For Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! / Speed of lightning, roar of thunder / Fighting all who rob or plunder / Underdog. Underdog! when in this world the headlines read of those whose hearts are filled with greed who rob and steal from those who need to right this wrong with blinding speed goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog!
Turns out he was just a black dude who likes banker money.
Lucky for member of bankster class, boiled frog is not complain... but that is end of analogy. Huddled masses is begin to wake up!
Sadly, the huddled masses these days are the hoodies masses. And they have EBT cards to keep them soundly asleep. The middle class is also asleep, dreaming about Ferraris they will never own. Upward mobility means a free scooter at Walmart.
OK "shining shoes" is some sort of sexual act? Like a "chocolate ascroft"?
.... All told, enough wealth and power was concentrated in the St. Regis that night that if you had dropped a bomb on the roof, global finance as we know it might have ceased to exist..... THANK GOD!
Target Rich Environment
I love real capitalists & despise taxpayer sucking parasites who view debt piled unto the backs of future generations as their and their families personal slush fund.
No worries about them.
They are trapped in a bubble of their own creation sucking air out of each others lungs.
Draw a large circle and put a dot in the center.
That dot is where they are trapped, they cannot walk the earth.
Poor things.
They are dead.
bill
oh but they can sure as hell fight their way out. they control the courts, mic, police state(s), about a dozen other policing entities, the money system, the political process, government regulatory agencies and your ars when they decide you are a person of interest. now deal with that. admit you are fucked. denial is the first step..
hey, at least we are smart enough to understand the symptoms(effect). now deal with the cause, but first understand their systems of contol!
The second thing I realized was that Kappa Beta Phi was, in large part, a fear-based organization.
Of course it is. Any "club" whose existence serves only to conjure status out of thin air is rooted in paranoia. Did he expect to find himself in a room full of quietly-confident models of selflessness?
All those empty lamp-posts... all those rusting pitch-forks...
Just waiting...
Don't forget the Hempen Cravats.
Any "club" whose existence serves only to conjure status out of thin air is rooted in paranoia.

Little Wilber Ross is a beta pussy who gets dressed by his Mommy every morning. He will NEVER know what it feals like to be a real man, ever. Smart, yes. clever, yes, but a living, breathing pussy, now and foreverr. One day (if he lives long enough) he will be a waiter in a fine dining establishment.
I think that the Rothschild family learned a few centuries back: when one is rich and Jewish there will always be the envious who seek to get what you have.
They will use the power of the state so you need to keep close to those who exert the power of the state.
There will never be an end to the reason why you should be fleeced, stay alert and never assume.
All family members must behave at all times lest their misbehavior be used as an excuse for taking what is yours or deny you access to activities that could be profitable.
Never sit on a board of a company unless you control the company, any problems will be blamed on the Rothschild.
If the Fascists win they will seize your bank.
If the commmunists win they will nationalize your bank.
Don't associate with idiots like those mentioned in the article here.
Aside from that enjoy your wealth.
and just because you are rich and powerful doesn't protect the lives of the extended family...stay alert.
lasvegaspersona when one is rich and Jewish there will always be the envious who seek to get what you have.
Comment
So what is a person that is envious of the Rothchilds because they are rich but they don't care about the jewish part?
Leave out the biggotry. Bad people are bad people no matter what ethnicity.
Whats next? Vomitoriums? feeding the plebs to the lions?
This is human evolution?
These people will be beggars on the street if they're lucky.
You've never been to the Bohemian Club have you?
(but the lions are a no-go since they're an endangered species...)
That doesn't stop anyone from feeding giraffes to them. Not as much meat on people, but the principle's the same.
I was thinking more along the lines of the five-story urinal/vomitorium. That stench never comes out, and the need for eye bleach never goes away (but I guess it does sort of blend in if one lives in SF).
Meh...still not as bad as Washington DC.
At least on Wall St. you can still tell who's dressed in drag.
this "secret" organization puts the Masons, Bilderbergs, Skull and Bones, Templars, Fight Club and all other secret societies to shame.
Wow what a crock of shit.
The crock of shit is thinking the hydra has only one head (or even a primary head)... It has more heads just in NYC, and the beast itself is supra-national in scale.
miss post
when we finally muster the stones to off these heads the world will be better "off".
What a bunch of sick fucks
What a bunch of fuck sticks.
We need balls-to-the-walls prosecutions of Kappa Beta Phi, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, credit rating agencies, Countrywide, the mortgage industry, the appraisers,Freddie and Fannie, Citi and the big bankster Wall Street banks, AIG, and current and former federal co-conspirators at U.S. Treasury, SEC, OTS, Federal Reserve, especially FRBNY( Tiny Tim, Dudley-Do-Wrong), and those members of Congress who aided and abetted the greatest financial crimes in U.S. history.
Justice demands these long-overdue prosecutions of overlapping RICO criminal enterprises. We need 20 years-to-life hard time prison sentences for the hundreds convicted. We need RICO confiscations of the hundreds of billions in illegal "profits" from the criminal enterprises of the banks, mortgage industry, and Wall Street Mafia.
Because of the huge backlog of RICO cases, the prosecution and the courtroom should be modified to process the mass trials in style of the Maxiprocesso (Maxi Trials) of the Mafia in Sicily during the 1980s that resulted in hundreds of defendants convicted.

No one has the balls to do something meaningful for the very real fear of sudden death.
Most American's dont want to kill. At least the good ones. They will when they have nothing left to loose.
tom
by the time you get your trials a billion won't buy you a burger
What pisses me off is that they steal from me to do this kind of shit and then claim to be better than me.
We need a virus that only kills rich, arogant fucks.
there's a over a hundred million guns in America -who needs a virus?
And no guts to use 'em.
Somebody is planning a "multi million" march on DC May 16. "peaceful unarmed display of force calling for resignations.".
Idiots. What force?
They'll be ignored, ordered to disperse, or arrested.
Oh wait, they'll be "spiritually and constitutionally armed". Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.
Amazing, the unwilllingness to accept the truth:
There is one solution to enslavement by the insane: You kill the enslaver. Period. There is NO OTHER SOLUTION.
Do so and you may reveal what really enslaves you.
Kill the enslaver and another replaces him.
The USA hairlip is too stupid for self-rule,
The USA man has also been a goat led on a leash by others.
The "USA man" is enslaved by exactly the same power that every other man is. But you missed that point the first time, why would you get it the second, son of AnAnonymous?
they're all scum. Time to get rid of them all
Thank you sir, may I have another.
What a bunch of fucking children in grown men's bodies...
Amazing how fucked up society has become. Fuck these people.
-"Antisocial personality disorder is one of the most difficult personality disorders to treat. People with this condition rarely seek treatment on their own. They may only start therapy when required to by a court."
I've heard that LEAD has a 100% positive outcome for treatment.
Yes, yes, yes....A lead or metal jacketed brain implant for each of them would save the people of the world much misery.
I fial to see why so many run from the fact that we may very well need to "Regulte" this situation, besides NO One gets out of the life Alive!
So this is reaching the top? Wearing a skirt and cracking homo jokes? Fuck that you fucking motherfuckers. Glad we have a list of these little bitches.
For the psychopathic scum this mob are, even so I did like the Hillary joke.
Amazing the number of tweets and fb links from the original article. Like 51K. We will be hearing more about this in the coming days from other sources.
Hopefully, but not counting on MSM...
I wouldn't be surprised if the original author received a very unpleasant phone call, visitor, or package in the mail. It also would not be surprising if he had a sudden bout of depression and decided to end it all.

So they gave an 84 year old Catholic Nun a 36 month sentence for trespassing and vandalism at the Oak Ridge nuclear plant.Thank God AG Holder is on the job......
But no prosecutions for all the criminal fraud on Wall Street?
This is a classic case of the Mandela factor: If she dies in prison,they are gonna have a huge martyr problem on their hands.The assault on the power substation in San Jose,and cutting of the fiber optic cable shows that some groups have had enough.
Six months probation would have been sufficient.Better hope she doesn't do a hunger strike......
Now I know what the 1.5 billion hollow point DHS bullets were for. (Octagenarian Peace Activists!).
SHE IS EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS OLD.
This is where disgust for these Wall Street bastards and the justice departments/politicians that protect them turn to boiling hatred!!
Uh, that's a DOE facility that is involved with nuclear weapon research and production. The Nun should have known better. I want to know how many abortion clinics has she protested outside of.
There is a strange logic wrapped up in this. Surely the OP is right, giving the Nun that much time (or any time) compared to Wall Street thugs is in itself criminal.
However, the Nun SHOULD have known. If we complain of societal breakdown, and denounce those in power that skirt the laws, surely we should have the same contempt for those of a lower class that do the same. But by giving her a pass based on age/occupation/relevance to other "more serious" crimes, we are allowing the further errosion of social contracts/values. Rule of law continues its slide into oblivion (at least for now it applies to some people, sadly not the ones doing the most harm).
Need more reporters like this!
You see it's not a generation thing, It not a boomer vs millenials.
It's the same pool of sons and daughters of sons and daughters of the same circle of families, social groups.
Two Movies. Animal House and the later one like it. PCU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCU_%28film%29
In both cases It was PCU's David Spade as Rand McPherson, or in Animal House it was James Daughton as Gregory "Greg" Marmalard:
Those two represent the same element in every generation. The "Class" of people who are in essence The Future PTB. ' Just my father and his before him, We rule the world.'
The "Average" person in both films just went home and went to work for somebody...

A review of the membership can be done here:

Meredith Whitney is listed as having joined the Wall Street Chapter in 2010.
So what happens at these secret societies, do they have to wear silly hats and dressing gowns during the day. But do they get cheap drinks for being a club member. And I wouldn't want to be a member of any Club that would have me as member.
Pretty sure they sacrifice the middle class upon altars and drink their blood.
Time to organize the Zero Hedge convention. Let's start roasting these horrible people. For the Mormon slander, make them engage in public antisemitism! Then let's see how profitable they are.
How about a Zero Hedge siege?
We'll demand 5,000 lbs of gold, 30,000 lbs of silver, and their women folk in exchange for their lives during that particular siege.
Rinse, and repeat.
We will never make contact with these degenerates running loose on the surface of the planet.
My obvious conclusion is a reporter completely divorced from journalism and reality.
Then there are the comments. What can you say about the comments considering the subject matter of this silly attempt at manipulation?
100% agree. This article seems like a 'limited hangout operation', where a paid stooge comes out to tell us how high level secret societies spend their time doing drag and failing to be witty / droll, when the reality is rather more like http://svalispeaks.com/ (a site recopying most of the stuff a high level illuminati defector explained in detail a few years ago).
I also feel the comments were a bit too much: I very quickly started skimming through and skipping subcomments. U R too obvious, suckers!
P.S.: also, it's really hard nowadays to believe there's a working mainstream journalist who isn't a part of the machine, so that journalist's attempts to paint himself as someone who resisted temptation / coercion come across as totally hollow. A completely discredited class of individual can't pull it off, sorry! In any case, it would not have been published in those propaganda channels without approval, evidently...
"I also feel the comments were a bit too much: I very quickly started skimming through and skipping subcomments."
Hydrogen cyanide doesn't care.
Well Christophe2 you live in America and therefore you have the right....to be absolutely wrong.
LOL. I guess I'm wrong because you say so, without a single argument to back you up? How convincing...
THAT Doug Casey?
I thought he was a maverick..
Is the Art Cashin listed on the full membership roster, the same guy that drools over Bernanke and now Yellen on CNBC?
Mindset : social darwinism disguised in "search of excellence". Being "top of the heap" meme.
Examples : Caesar, Pope Lotario Conti, Genghis Khan, Saint Louis, Charles V, Napoleon, Queen Victoria, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, GWB.
What else, Nespresso and Exxon and Google games?

I know a few and they are coward period. Thats all I can say. Also, they aren't as bright as you are made to believe.
It's good that people like this are exposed for what they are, but it's not new.
In the days when Prof Hare first identified the problem, people of this ilk were generally called psychopaths. Then the politically correct brigade got involved and we have to call them "sociopaths" or suffering from "antisocial personality disorder".
It's all the same problem, just a matter of degree. And there are many of them among us.
Virtually every politician, businessman, banker and many other groups are psychopaths in varying degrees. The most successful ones have carefully manicured façades to present themselves as nice, cool, cuddly people to get what they want. Only when you deal with them do you realise they're into manipulation big time. By then it's often too late.
What the hell is up with these frat boys and their dressing up like girls? When has that ever been fun to watch?
These idiots think that's what goes on in real frats?
If these people were not so dangerous, it would be pathetic.
It's not the crappy visual, it's the subjugation and degradation of an uppity POS who wants to eventually grow to become your "equal"...
I actually respect the aspect of not cutting membership standards to appeal to the lowest common denominator or social/political norm, (as opposed to what the armed forces, labor unions, republitards, and countless other organizations do when they need new blood)
Joiners are fucking retards.
" if you had dropped a bomb on the roof, global finance as we know it might have ceased to exist "
Nope....global finance would have went on fine n dandy. The problem is, these cocksuckers think if the above happened, things would cease to exist.
GAS 'EM...
This actually sounds like my annual holiday dinner with my Dad's Jewish friends. One runs one of the biggest personal injury lawfirms in the country, another sells Mercedes, another one sits on the board of the Cleveland Clinic, the whole gang probably only does about one minute of real work a year but pulls in millions.
We're kind of porch Jews. We're close enough to see and hear what goes on in the master's house but nobody believes what we tell them because they think it is ridiculous and nobody would really act like that.
Description of antisocial personality disorder sounds like 0bozo's resume'.
Well perhaps reprinting this laughably inept hit piece was a Pavlovian experiment. "We've got them trained, so instead of red meat let's throw them some puppy chow."
Hmmm...you're sure doing a lot of whining about something that you think is "laughably inept"...why is that?
Well let me try my hand. I seem to remember that I was at a party with some NY bigwigs. That's right a party(the crowd gasps, women feint). Off color jokes were told(oh the humanity). Black humor was employed(black stands for satan). Cross dressing antics ensued(women tear their hair, grown men cry). And the final unforgivable sin. They didn't want to publicize the event based on the unbelievable assumption that the hallowed media might exploit it(ZeroHeros run screaming from their rooms).
It's all so so obvious but even when pointed out the closest ZeroHeros can come to recognition is an imitation of Gestapo interrogation. You don't think that's funny?
