Blankenfein sort of looks like Tiger Woods today after he shot that 82. i'm of the opinion that the major private banks (which are no longer really part of the Feds charter banks, since the Fed became part of the WH) the big banks could break the Fed and they would at that moment pretty much own the top level federal government offices, they would control all federal government debt issuance, which i am ambivalent about. since it would amount to a coup of sorts, and none of them (i believe) have any inclination to run the country. on the other hand controlling the money means they control the candidates, and they could run their own people, pretty much unopposed.and it could all happen without anyone knowing who did what to who and when they did it, 2008 proved that. next time the working banks will not leave these fed idiots in charge

That magazine is truly unreadable now. Anyone try it? It's like some mind-control psyop for those plebes trying to learn about buSyness.
Bloomberg dumped everyone and took the brand.
Bloomberg, of course, is one big Wall Street propaganda operation.

The Zero Hedge page is also unreadable with the ad overlay across the article . What gives?
Outstanding Heavy Commentary. THe images along with the message is bigger, than both of those elements alone. Superb Propaganda! (no, not the BS, but the technique of hard hitting graphics to send a message that's instantly understood!) Great work and thanks for your hard work and especially the genius part!
Thank you
I spend a great deal of time thinking about how to describe what I am doing. Putting aside the aesthetic and technical quality and origins of my work, I am definitely engaged in a form of persuasive communication. I struggled with the word propaganda and the negative connotation of that term. Initially I was ready to concede that I am engaging in a form of counter-propaganda.
However, on further consideration, I decided that there is a big difference between what I do and what the MSM propagandists do. I encourage/invite the viewer to engage in thoughtful deliberation and to reach an independent conclusion based upon their own analysis and pursuit of the truth. Although I appeal to the emotional/limbic part of the brain, my purpose is not to manipulate but to awaken. This is very different from straight propaganda which presumes to have done all the necessary thinking for the audience and simply seeks to inculcate the masses. And unlike a true propagandista who is basically performing a function, I remain willing to be thoughtfully convinced on a subject.
I hope this makes sense.
The MSM presents repetitive lies as truth. You use the ridiculous and sublime to present truth.

Very few understand the real evil of this act and the harm it's done forever. Was a beautiful, laid back country where all cultures and ages sauntered around carefree. Very respectful people who would dash to the aid of a foreigner. A Tragedy that could prove to be the final nail in the coffin of Amerikan exceptionalism i kid you not.
Hold on, here it comes now.:

We the common people were too rich
The rich were not rich enoug.... so.. the rich, printed massive amounts of money, and put the money into their own pockets, and handed to us the debt.
Just a little at first, then a little more, then more, and each time; The American people were handed the min., payment on the debt.

Think of it this way, your kid has a credit card, you have a bank account.
Your kid charged up the credit card, and the bank hands to you the bill.
Now your kid has a pile of stuff, and your bank account of empty, and you have gone broke.
Thats what the elite did to us.....they charged it, and handed us the bill.
Good stuff WB.
Fortunately, I got to grow up in and thrive during the era when we indeed had the 'World's highest standard
of living'. Which makes me feel especially bad knowing what my grown kids are going to miss out on.

Bill, I sit down each night at my dinner table and across from me on the wall is your "peace"..buddha looks down, i look down at my food..I look up buddha looks down. I feel the inadequateness of my life, the missed opportunity, and I look up and budda looks down. everything is right at that moment. Thank you.
That was beautiful. My biggest problem in my life now is regret. Regret I did not take opportunities due to fear. Regret I succumbed to pressures from others I should have had the strength to resist. Regret I failed others who could have benefited from my help. Regret I went along with the group and did not have the confidence to strive alone.
This is living in the past rather than in the moment. Judging things one is unable to change. Pointless but so seductive. A trap of the mind. I must remember what the Buddha taught.
You are what you think. Everything arises from your thoughts. With you thoughts you make the world.
I must let go.

It's a total waste of time trying to see these cartoons because the ads are directly in front of them.
I am not going to the trouble to save image to my desktop just to see them... instead I'll complain.
Easy fix; hit CTRL (-) on your keyboard till you shrink the size of the items on the page. The adds withdraw from the pics. To increase the type face size, do the opposite: CTRL (+) until you acheive your liking.

Thanks. I had tried shrinking the page but
just did not do it enough. That tip really helped
Some tracking protectors are available here. I believe I have found that "enabling" these helps me to load webpages faster. All of Banzai's pictures come through for me without ads covering them up.

good shit, WB7!
your picture says it all: as streets and infrastructure is crumbling, middle class housing deteriorating, wages/incomes declining, the average american is still focused outside the nation on 'faux enemies' as his wealth is slowly being stolen. I can't wait for the entire enchilada in ol'merika to finally come crashing down and watch the 401k s, pensions, and wealth become property of W.st and its minions. Even then the I doubt them merikans will wake the fuk up. Probably blame Putin.

tell the natives to go find their own country.
tell them they must construct a legal fiction
to become a worthy adversary to the boot on their
throats. this is how it is done.

i have noticed the higher the standard of living
the more insular, isolated and desperate the
human unit becomes; notwithstanding outward projections
to appear as the contrary. (notice the mask of the
aspiring to be "rich" and plastic surgically enhanced)
and young and happy and potent and satisfied .....
.
so, i heard gen. portay-us has a published correspondence
with the real life french paratrooper characterized in
this movie ,"the battle of algiers", implying fact is
following fiction or reality
is imitating art exemplified in a portion of the iraq war/s
and its execution. the center stage maroons can't resist
their own maroon-ness. only the dynamic response of the average
maroon to the incoherent chaos of order can fix it.
here a link to think about....

there is the point in the film where general

question of empire. they have no response just
as today, sickening.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/08/07/embattled-jon-corzine-to-host-ready-for-hillary-hamptons-fundraiser/
Washington (CNN) - Embattled former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, the man who was at the center of the $1.6 billion MF Global collapse, will be the co-host of a Ready for Hillary fundraiser in the Wainscott, New York later this month.
Corzine will co-sponsor the event along with special guests David Brock, the head of Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton messaging and rapid response group; actress Ashley Judd and Craig Smith, a longtime Clinton friend and Ready for Hillary senior adviser.
Doesn't this almost seem like saying cancer is contagious?
I don't know, but it just seems to me, that traffic fatalities are so much higher than firearms casualties, that its got to be easier to kill somebody with a car and get away with it. Pay the car czar vig and you're good, mebbe bag up to 2-3 before they take it away.
Just sayin'.
Yesterday I saw a bumper stickers on a car that said "I'm proud of my president" & "Hillary 2016".
I wept.
whats the penalty for pissing on someones car bumper?
They will taze your dick.
Embattled Jon Corzine.........arrrrggghhhhh
Should be imprisoned Jon Corzine for fucks sake.
Yes, but it difficult to host a fundraser from prison!
Money trumps law

Wonder how much of the missing $1.6 billion is being used to fund Hillary. This will ensure he is not indicted now. The crooks operate in broad daylight now. The sheeple continue to fumble over the remote.
Good question... but I think a very small portion of the $1.6 bln would be used because these politicians are cheap whores. They'll sell out the nation for a dime (in relative terms)
I would go with the american bad ass from detroit proper kid rock bawidtabah reference (a.ka. snarky comment). But it would get lost in the fact that he now shills for 14% romney and his wifes my little pony oilyimpic (tax free) dressage competitions.
As always. (ir)regardless,Thank you for what you do sir.
