The repeatedly implied assertion of your video, that the FDA and it's drug approval and oversight processes are a model for good governance of Wall Street, would be hilarious if it wasn't so nauseating.

i agree the analogy is flawed, but there is still
an important point there. nausea and suicidal ideation
are mere side effects of the good team made by abilify
and your favorite anti depressant. remeron (mirtazapine)
,and another pharma products, were found in robin williams
upon autopsy. it is banned for use in children as it
causes suicidal thoughts and acts.
the bankers and financial engineers are homicidal, suicidal
but they don't know or care, that is the point. my guess is
neither do most medicated people.

maybe this will get you to throw up this morning?

"..This was why the former Labor government did not conclude the bilateral trade agreement with Korea (Kafta) – it contained an ISDS clause. Our concerns were far from scaremongering, but the Coalition government didn’t share them, and signed the agreement back in April. The TPP also contains ISDS clauses that have been extensively criticised. Robb expects it to be concluded by the end of the year.
ISDS clauses present a sovereign risk to national governments and court systems. It wasn’t always so. They were originally created to protect businesses that invested in foreign jurisdictions where there may not have been robust democracies and legal systems, so that investors would have international redress if there was a coup, a takeover of their investments or some other unforeseen negative impact on their business in the nature of sovereign risk.
Over time, the reasonable shield offered by ISDS clauses has become a sword, used by multinational corporations to extract profit and market advantage, against the legitimate interests and values of a nation, its government and people." m.p.

Why support the TPP when it will let foreign corporations take our democracies to court?

they are destroying the constitution (just a piece of paper) and
maybe one person in a million sees it? they use finance, the money
system and law in combination with medications to accomplish it.
good night.

it was a rhetorical question,
"are we all financial muppets now?"
look around, muppets, as far as the eye can see
and becoming more so.
"hilarious and nauseating", i would rather say
provocative.
Putin's only detraction was offering a Chinese woman his coat at an official event. The Chicom honchos were offended because Chinese women think the bare breasted, boob bopping , bareback riding Putin is an "heart throb." Dont know what they think of Obama.
today's WildBilliance recalls to mind my freshman year in high school. for four years i did my best to pretend i was a wrestler. to be fair, by the end of it all i was fair -- not terrible but not noteworthy either. i like to compete, and i liked the quick-witted calculations required of the sport. it's a mono-e-mono kinda athletics; you take all the glory and/or shame, no one else on the mat to credit nor blame. sorta like chess of the corpus for those of us who like to bring the pain, and can take it when it comes our way.
the sport is interesting in that it pits two similiarly sized men in the center of a circle with no external advantage permitted and all the intrusions of climate and fate cordoned off by a gymnasium and a six minute time limit; each brings an amalgamation of gifts to the hash marks as he squares off eye-to-eye against his hated rival, some gifts far more pronounced than others. in wrestling, one learns to exploit whatever relative advantage he has to proportionately balance his alternative weakness. in other words, if you are exceptionally quick it may compensate for a bit of slow-wittedness; and if you are intuitive & clever, it will satisfy an acceptable deficiency in physical strength.
but only to a point.
which brings me to my first match as a freshman. there's janus, purple and gold singlet (we were the Purple Hurricanes and those were our colors), barely five foot tall (i grew a foot in high school; and it was worth every inch of it), straping on my head-gear and conjuring up some raw intensity.
janus was at this early time wrestling varsity, but that's only because my competition at that weight class (112) was a total fish (wrestling slang for a wuss). the bright lights, noise and intensity of the gym there in west rome, georgia were somewhat intimidating, but as they echoed through my head-gear i started to feel something that can only be described as imminent doom.
that's one of the things about wrestling; at first, you don't quite know who it's going to be lining up eye-to-eye on the other hash. several are always hoppin and boppin around in the background, each going through their sundry intensity conjuring rituals...and it's therefore often difficult to discern which is the precise opponent you'll face. as i scanned the potential field of rivals (those who looked to be about the same weight class as me), there was one in particular that i'd hoped would be wrestling one of my teammates -- preferably one that i detested.
when his name was announced over the speaker and he shed his sweats and sprinted out onto the mat, i had this sinking feeling...sorta like i was sunk. this kid looked like he'd just spent seven years training with rocky balboa in sibera...no shit, this kid was twenty eight if he was a day...probably served hard time and already had two baby-mommas. what's worse, he had this crazy look in his eye -- like he wanted to hurt me or something. and that's all fine and good, but when it's clear to both parties that the crazy-eyed felon 'can' hurt you it lends that sinking feeling an extra heft of gravity.
so we met at center and shook hands, he still with the crazy-eyed killah thing kickin, janus wondering how many will attend his funeral. and then, as if he sought to make poor young janus piss himself, he starts to violently smack his own face...hard. just swat after swat after swat. i looked at the ref hoping he'd offer some means to forefit, but the whistle'd already been blown. the die had been cast. my feet were taped to the pedals.
before i knew what was happening, janus had scored the first point of the match. as is my idiom, i did it in the unconventional way. allowing your opponent to slam you so hard that your awarded a point is a very clever strategy to get ahead quick in the game. but it isn't really a viable strategy over the long term; after a while, the violent slamming with work against you. i'm the kinda guy that can take a punch and all that shit, but this was something else. i remember hearing the whole gym make that noise like, 'wooohhhh'; the sound people involuntarily emit in chorus when they're impressed with the spectacle but at the same time concerned that the victim may never walk again.
that would be the one an only point janus scored in his first match.
i shouldn't have to tell you what happened next...suffice it to say, the whole thing was over before the first period was over.
sure, i'll conceded that nobel prizes, syphocantic press-corps, teleprompters and all the rest are something; but, when pitted against strength and a brilliant tactical mind, all the tinsel of our spineless president are less than nothing.
it's embarrassing...you can almost hear that 'wooohhh' sound echoing across the conference room.
wooohhh,
janus
Gonzo gets slammed by Putin

Do these criminal career politicians and banksters and Corporate's ( Oil, Pharma MSM etc ) go to work every morning (week or month ) and say ' Not sure if i/we can keep this Ponzi going OR fuck 'em if their so stupid let's squeeze till the SHIT hits?
We know the coercive evil nature of the BEAST, BUT FUCK the sheer (and it would have been appropriate to have spelled sheer with an a ) magnitude of this imminent eruption cannot be swept under a basket of treasuries.
I suppose we are covering the personal security costs of our great leaders also.
Popcorn anyone?
"A former high-ranking diplomat and Clinton ally at the center of an FBI counterintelligence probe was a registered foreign agent for the Pakistani government up until just days before she was appointed to run the U.S. State Department’s Pakistan aid team.
The Washington Post reported last week that the State Department’s aid coordinator for Pakistan, Robin Raphel, is the subject of a counterintelligence investigation and has had her security clearance revoked.
The FBI has not specified the nature of the probe, although the Post indicated that it could be espionage-related. She was reportedly placed on administrative leave last month, and the State Department said she is no longer employed by the agency.
The U.S. Foreign Agent Registration office told the Washington Free Beacon that Raphel’s foreign agent registration for Pakistan remained active until July 31, 2009. The State Department announced her appointment as Pakistani foreign aid coordinator five days later."

Surely Obama's FBI wouldn't be doing another "rogue agents" Lois Lerner type thingy on this true patriot at the expense of Hitlary for... ;-)
Having given up on finding romance as luck would have it i literally bumped into this mature student, 29 years old at a friends party.
Been out with her a few times and last week she invites me to her place for dinner (nudge nudge ).
She's a final year student ' Women's Empowerment Studies ( Post Suffragette )
As she stood in the kitchen with me just inside the door she asks ' Derek, why do your friends call you Monty?'
So i dropped my kegs and boxers and just let it swing. ' It's my most favorite film too . The Life of Brian. '
' Now hurry the fuck up with that bolognese and let's have some of that empowerment rub off on me. '
No matter how you dress Barry up the dude lacks class.
The Kenyan is looking kind of green as he gets slammed to the mat, and his eyes are bugging out.
Vladster isn't even working up a sweat.
Never send a boy to do a man's job.
I wonder if those ObaMao t-shirts are still selling like hotcakes?
LMAO!!!

Common folks--it's way past time to fremove this asshole/ Milestones
It's an affirmative action black belt. Good for his ego; bad for giving him false confidence.
I'm amazed at Barry's LOW aspirations. Thick fucking bagboy that he is , had a real shot at the title, coulda been a contender, up there with history's finest AND chose the easy option of sucking BANKSTER DICK. CUNT
"...up there with history's finest AND chose the easy option of sucking BANKSTER DICK. CUNT"
Much like a Thailand whore, he didn't choose to suck the bankster dick, he was chosen to suck the bankster dick.
An American, not US subject.
"Chosen by the 'Chosen' to carry water for them."
Kcris - love what you do, but take it easy. Thailand maybe the last free country on the orb.
since there are no more Maoists in China, and no capitalists in America, the question is who are those guys?
"USA
TODAY--Obama emerged from his car chewing gum; he's a well-known user
of Nicorette, the smoking-cessation gum. But Chinese Internet users,
accustomed to the highly formal standards of their stiff party
leadership, quickly characterized the leader of the world's most
powerful nation as an impolite "idler," or careless "rapper.""
At best a buffon, at worst a useful idiot. Most certainly window dressing and a willing patsy.
Let's all face it the man is bored.
I do not doubt his inate intelligence potential BUT he settled for an actor's role that is not getting very good reviews. So his contract runs until 2016 and he will chew gum and play golf and act the buffoon.
I will try to give him one molecule of awareness of what he does. And maybe his protest is acting the buffoon. But Ok I know I am wrong.
But mental illness works on many levels of denial. He may know the game. He may be flattered by handlers. But he is now confined to the wive's club. Snubbed and shite upon by the press. Ridiculed in many venues that used to support.
No amount of handling and ego stroking will take away the awareness that he is so unimportant and immaterial to the world.
Maybe we should set up a fund?
"I do not doubt his inate intelligence potential"
Seriously?
At least he didn't salute with a fucking latte.
Still, can you imagine Eisenhower showing up at a gig like this chewing gum?
Cog, this crap is getting worse by the moment...
from Wall Street Journal:
Man, I am trying to eat.
You didn't eat that...
the gooberment eats it for you...then regurgitates it into your mouth.
Wait...
Is that the front or the back end?

The prez resembled a brown Gumby stick, suited in his Chicom tunic - as he was chewing a stick of gum
The guy on the right looks like Chinese brother of Jamie Dimon.
Holy Shirt!
Bout fell off the freaking chair here.
Wowza yowsa!
You sure can create some scary shirt, William.
My what a puny hammer! (Words no guy ever wants to hear: "Oh, it's so cuute!")
He's Chairman Barack in his mind.
Very good WB7, missed that the first time.
the oba-mao wanna-be is such a total disgrace in China. He sucks so bad at trying to be a Marxist, Commie, treasonous piece of shit that even Marxist, Commie pieces of shit disrespect him! La-who-Za-her! hahaha
Talk about a total worthless fuck-tard. The commies hate him...the new "soviets" hate him...the Americans hate him. This fucker needs to be shot to Mars. At least there's nobody on Mars who would hate him. Other than the microbes.
Yes in 20/30 years time , hunchback from all the golf , white head , watery eyes and the wife leaning over to clean some dribble running down his chin, people will point and say ' he coulda been a contender '. Then pop five into his head.
The floors all yours Barry.
