Ex-Plunge Protection Team Whistleblower: "Governments Control Markets; There Is No Price Discovery Anymore"
One year after the great stock market crash in 1987, US President Ronald Reagan launched the "Working Group on Financial Markets." Conspiracy theorists believe, however, that the real task of this committee is to protect against a renewed slump in the stock market. In the jargon of Wall Street, the working group is known as the "Plunge Protection Team."
One glimpse at a few days suring 2007/8 and it is clear that 'someone' with infinitely deep pockets was able to support markets on several critical days - though, of course, anyone proclaiming intervention was propagandized away as a conspiracy theory wonk. However, as Dr. Pippa Malmgren - a former member of the U.S. President’s Working Group on Financial Markets - it is not conspiracy theory, it is conspiracy fact: "there's no price discovery anymore by the market... governments impose prices on the market."

In this 38 minute interview Lars Schall, for Matterhorn Asset Management, speaks with Dr Pippa Malmgren, a US financial advisor and policy expert based in London. Dr Malmgren has been a member of the U.S. President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (a.k.a. the “Plunge Protection Team”). They address, inter alia:
- Malmgren’s recent book “Signals: the breakdown of the social contract and the rise of geopolitics”;
- the “inflation vs deflation” debate
- the closer ties between Russia and China
- the future of the Euro
- Germany’s gold reserves
- and the phenomenon of “financial repression”
- Moreover, Dr Malmgren explains what she foresees as the endgame of the financial crisis.

Still don't believe?
Here is Scott Nations in 2008 getting "Schiff'd" by the CNBC anchors (Liesman) and some other guest muppet when he dares to suggest the Fed is intervening and that the President's Working Group (i.e. Plunge Protection Team) is hard at work...
"look at the market action on the 10th and 28th and tell me what else might have generated a 100 point rally in the S&P under that situation?" Liesman fobs him off as some conspiracy wonk...
Yep looks normal to us... 10/10/2008
and 10/28/2008
Those are 100 point moves on a 700/800 S&P!! Nothing to see here eh Liesman, Kiernan, Quick?

Would you please hold your breath until that happens. Like maybe 20-25 years. Until then, better make a plan B. Doomsters are dumb. No offense... I understand it's just a DNA thingie. Not really your fault. But why do doomsters like to dwell on armageddon?
Back door property seizure via taxes once ESEA enacted for charter schools.
It's the communist manifesto & it's happening now. Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon re: private, home, or parochial schooling...they got that sewn up too. Add they're going to drug your kids thru medicare & you got the next gen of B F Skinner automatons.
No. Fucking. Way.
In the PM markets they are known as the Plunge Producing Team
You must be one of those tin foil hat wearing dudes that like to hang out in tents at parks near Wall Street. There is no suchthing as th PPT, 911 was conducted by a bunch of cave dwellers that got lucky, and building 7 fell because it had fires in it. You got to love 'Merica!
Pipa does NOT believe the gold market is manipulated. She a smart women but clearly naive in certain areas.
If this is a limited hangout, maybe the real intent of the whistleblowing is to keep the illusion of no fraud around gold hidden yet a while longer.
Given that she is smart, I don't buy that she's that naive, especially having been on inside. All of which brings this entire situtation into question.
Absolutely. Why did she come out with that now? Why did Greenspan come out of the closet now? Why does Hillary remind me of childhood nightmares? Inquiring minds want to know.
Pippa IMO is a very clever plant. I have heard and seen her now at least a 1/2 dz times. Her in your face with what a reasonably coherent observer can see is even more plus sized to earn some cred points. Then we get BS like Bitcoin is SEXY and gold is not an effective hedge.....so yeah TPTB see they have to throw some raw meat in the discussion BUT then the soft pedal comes. Its classic next level propaganda yeah like BITCOIN is not anything the Bankster Gubmint Cartel can't manage....seriously. Whomever is her promotions team they is good. Her paint and plaster team is even better....Unless she was out doing Jaeger shots until 5 am before I saw her no way CAN she look that good.... She is good and smart but not showing any new skin just confirming what most that are paying attention already know and then saying oh no worries in the end TPTB will figure it out.....uh....I'm OUT
Humanity has decided, collectively, to ride the bomb. Not much a person can do about that.
I decided against it but nobody cares.
I care Bastiat x.
I decided against it too amd I am sending you a big hug from the UK!
"Humanity has decided, collectively "
BULLSHIT.
Humanity decides nothing collectively.
Individuals make ( rational or/? irrational ) decisions.
The problem being that the sociopathic ideologues and criminals among us would rather extort or even destroy everyone else in attempts to profit or hide their inadequacies.
LOL, I agree Throxx. People that make statements about the people choosing this or that are so full of shit their fucking eyes have to be brown. Disinformation assholes is what they are.
Goosing the equity market by 2-3x over the period of 5-10 years, crushing the shorts as you go, is an excellent way to co-opt anyone who invests . . . to whatever (global government, grab-the-guns, diversity is our greatest strength) goal you might conjure.
spolier alert, the end game to the financial crisis is a nuclear war, someone will decide they're not gonna get looted (Putin)
Printing and mega trade deficits have consequences, one is your trading partners with leverage end up buying your home and replacing you with cheaper labor.
Exactly.
The Russians have bunkers deep in the Urals. We MAY get a glimpse on TMZ, “Look at the stupid Russians marching into their ant hill”.
Two days later who will play, ‘last man standing launches’.
I guess that means we no longer need to fund useless organizations like the SEC and the CFTC...
They are useless anyway.
They're good for busting little guys.
Beep! Beep!
Congratulations, Player #3. You have reached the Corzine Level.
You are now safe from Prosecution!
Pippa is hot. She is obviously telling the truth.
I've got an issue I need Dr Malmgren to take a look at...giant bulge in my pants.
I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll before someone said 'she's hot'
Thanks for answering!
Oh, dear. I ran The Google on her. That picture has to be 30 years old. She has since put on 100, plus, pounds. She's not telling the truth.
Yeah, it's safe to say the selected the single best picture of her in existence.
Here's some video of her since they're not showing video in this story. I'd say she's bordering on BBW territory.
Fortunately that has zero impact on what she has to say, however.
Yeah, she knows her stuff. Too bad that many bias their opinions based on looks. Although not at ZH, of course...
BBW? She musta run into one of those women aliens from the planet Kardashia.
wtf is BBW?
Big Bitchin Wookie, same as Michael and hitlery
She's not exactly Eugenia or Nataliya in the AnastasiaDate.com ads, that's for sure.
Thats a man.
I mean the neck is like an NFL linebacker ( in the video).
"she;s not telling the truth" :-) Too funny, that was a good pic though
she is selling a book... she is the epitome of the modern female with the corner office, educated yes... but I wonder how it feels to have plumbed the mathematical depths of a false science? :-) A lucrative, but wasted life. Perhaps she will go on to become one of the "innovators" she speaks so highly of. I doubt it... more book deals and speaking engagements likely.
%$&^*! Tyler(s) punked us!
My contacts were already steamed up.
All those who think she's "hot" may wanna engage in some "price discovery" on google image search.
She's apparently done a good job manipulating and inflating her own exterior value based on the pic in question.
Smart woman tho.
The bitch is definitely hot.
Also dangerous.
What a HOT bitch she is.
Hot? Meh, She looks like Snoopy. Click on newer fotos & she looks like Snoopy + 50lbs.
Now that she has confessed I am going to have to give her a spanking.....
As ZH devolves into hot economic chick nothingness....
Evolves son, evolves....
Thanks for the upvote Pippa !
what building will she be flying off soon?
If she has the right documents in multiple places with instructions as to what to do with them in the event of an 'unfortunate' accident, she may get left alone.
Doubtful this will hit CNBC or any of the other propaganda outlets, though.
Other than at ZH this will be ignored ,, she's already been published and most of the danger is past... besides who doesn't know about the manipulation already ... acknowledging it this late means little.
..... Do - not - seek - the nailgun.
Drown on her own while taking a bath combined with sleeping meds and wine . . .
We get more out of the system at the end, when we retire. Don't sweat the input.
"We get more out of the system at the end, when we retire. Don't sweat the input."
The normalcy bias is strong with this one.
Some are taking a lot more of the system then they ever put in. Much of it well before or at the cusp of retirement.
A family with gross income below 50K with 4 or 6 or more children is costing upwards of the gross just in education costs in most of the country. They will never make enough to pay for their own children's education costs once the retirement of the educators and bureaucrats is considered -let alone any tax credits or ACA subsidies and the like even if they never actually receive WIC or section 8 housing or other overt support.
Disability claims have increased tremendouly since the 2008 crash. People suddenly became disabled in much higher numbers than historically just as soon as the economy soured! Did they all somwhow hurt themselves opening the envelope with the pink slip in it?
Look at the skyrocketing costs draining the elder-care and medicare system. Drugs ( even what may arguably be recreational drugs in the case of such as Viagra )including rampant growth in the use of insulin, statins, blood-pressure meds etc.., surgeries: new knees, spinal fusion, to say nothing of the expense of electric mobility carts and care subsidies both in and out of home...
the knobs required to fix this have been installed
so again, that which cannot continue will not continue. Just because it is today does not mean it will be that way tomorrow.. The US will not print it's way out of this hole. To many big regional powers will say otherwise and the days of banker driven gun boat diplomacy on (former) ox cart nations are fading fast.
The summation of which is a drop in the bucket compared to the bailout of Wall St. Understand, my friend, when the BUMS at the top commit fraud and game the system, the plebes then do also. This is the only 'True' "Trickle Down". See Larry Krudlow for a full explanation...
There are few things I can think of that are more revolting than government "controlling" free markets. Along with price discovery, these are the bread & butter of a healthy/successful/vibrant economy. Controlling free markets is as socialist as you can get. It makes me want to puke.
It's called corruption, not socialism.
If it's controlled, it isn't free.
Socialism is controlled, freedom is not. Corruption relies on contolled systems, structure, that freedom does not.
I'm an anarchist.
I was just going for accuracy.
There is room here for lots of failed ideologies. The problem is us, ideologies are simply an excuse.
i am a bear
i don't shit in the woods...
"I was just going for accuracy."
I'm sure you were, but you went off course. What is happening is socialist in nature (Statist if you prefer). Taking control of markets and manipulating them for political ends is exactly what socialism does. It's part of creating a façade to give the (false) appearance of everything going according to .gov plan. Whereas in fact the .gov meddling and interference introduces internal pressures which build up and create distortions. Enter what is being called 'crony capitalism'. But corporatism and fascism are more familiar terms because it's all happened before. See Mussolini.
Exactly the same thing happens within society itself. Eventually these economic/societal distortions blow and all hell breaks loose. At this point, the socialist solution is to impose more socialism but due to resistance in the economy and society, this mounting socialism has to be imposed by ridiculous new laws, enforced by jackboots, because socialists on their way to utopia cannot counternance anybody acting outside of their prescriptive edicts as this may lead to a challenge to their power & control and their journey to utopia.
You eventually end up with a totalitarian system of government with ever more State control: more meddling, more laws, more regulations. The State will never admit being what it is because its leaders will always find someone else to blame, often another government which leads to war to distract away from yet another failure of socialism.
It is always The People who have to pick up the pieces and clear up the mess after an indulgence into the murky world of socialism and its inevitable failure. It appears that new generations do not learn from history.
There is nothing about this that at all resembles actual socialism. This is simply State Capitalism. Socialism would have totally different people in charge, these leaders would be subject to automatic recall, and there would be greater participatory input from those lower down in an organization.
I really don't understand who taught everyone here that state-control = socialism. This is merely a reflection of failed socialism that transmogrified into state capitalism in the USSR before collapse. The USSA is in the very same state, only it never ever ever ever had socialism or a revolution with socialist aims.
"This is simply State Capitalism"
State Capitalism = Corporatism = Fascism and "Fascism is Socialism with a capitalist veneer" (ie: full circle back to State Capitalism)
Mises also wrote this: "Why Nazism is Socialism and Socialism is Totalitarian"
Two historical examples of people who were lifelong socialists but adopted fascism are Mussolini and more recently Tony Blair.
The truth will enlighten one.
Socialism, corruption. What's the difference?
Yes, but don't tell that to all of the socialist apologists here on ZH -- and there are a surprising number of them. Of course, none of them will ever admit it.
.... All we need now is a Revolt to go with the puke.
And 'TREASON' to boot!
Better move along before you discover you've been priced inappropriately.
You mean my Birth Certificate isn't worth as much as I thought it was?
She's saying BTFD?
I think she said ILItInTAss
MY thought exactly. Buy the dips, you dips.
The "markets" are a policy tool. It's a way to get the upper-middle and lower-upper classes to come to heel on a variety of policy issues. Jack up the market, and they forget about financial regulation. Drive it down and you have free reign to institute any policy or law you want. The market is a pressure point on the class that can actually inflict harm on the oligarchy.
Very very good observation there... they also serve as
1. A mythical beast to which blame may be affixed
2. The largest brothel in the Solar system
The whole shootin' match is pretty much bad news.
ha ha , so what's new ???
You have to ask yourself 'Why did Tyler publish the babe's picture' if he wanted a serious discussion of the topic?
Did it have to do with zh advertising customers or instructions from his jockey shorts?
And the truth shall set u free ...

Guest Pippa Malmgren on rigged gov. data Jan 14 ( 2 0 1 4)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGTdbcZuI6U
The real conspiracy is that there are still people walking around that think the markets are not rigged. Seriously, who is so retarded as to think the markets actually operate with any integrity?
+1.
You could sustitute the word "market" wherever it appears in your comment with the word "elections" and you would have an equally true statement.
Have a nice day.
.... no shit, anybody connected to "the Markets" in anyway knows exactly whats going on.
Welcome to Dirtyfuckerville, have a nice day.
I rember Art Cashin being questioned about the existance of the PPT on CNBC long ago when I "gulp" was being brainwashed and he dismissed it simply: "Nah".
Now what say you Mr Cashin?
Cashin might as well be a mob soldier. He knows exactly what is going on, always has and will die before he admits the most obvious "Secret".
Art Cashin sure comes off like a total douchebag in that CNBC clip. What a complete fucking asshole, why does ZH feature that shill so often.
Price? Yea that comes outta yellens ass.
If governments controlled as much as they thought they did....then throughout history so many would have no been laid to the waste said and crumbles empire after empire...yet here we stand.
Govt is comprised of merely people...not super beings. The free market will eventually price discover one way or the other.
You have to have a 'free market' for it to work.
Nature is another game altogether.
Mother N will always win in the end.
Ideally, I agree, but I am afraid the free market has been rendited to some nasty place in Egypt where it is being beaten senseless by the mukhabarat!
Eldred Gregory Peck, Captain Ahab in MOBY DICK
Am saving his line 'Thar She blows' for this coming bonanza Crashes of Crashes.
Well the theory is that without the intervention we still would have needed multi-trillions in debt and printing, but it would be to a crashed economy. By doing it early you save no money but live in pretty much a non-crashed economy. Nobody (outside the clueless MSM) doubts the intervention anymore, but neither has anybody documented exactly how it has been working. Looks pretty obvious that somebody, somewhere, is either buying and selling individual issues, maybe ALL issues, or else is dictating the pricing levels directly. I'd sure like to know which. Maybe both, of course.
anyone making a 'conspiracy theory, yet now a proven fact' list ?
....or is it simpler to assume everything the gov/fin-sector says is the preciscely the opposite of what it does ?
Thanks to all concerned in gov/fin-sector for the snake-eating-it's-tail situation, good work ! <sarc>
I'd hit it.
You mean "I'd tap that ass!"
I don't know whats going on, but I can't even enjoy rubbing one off anymore.
SH
Why do I get the feeling The Truth about 9-11 is about to be exposed.
The PPT can not stop the employment participation drop. When very little is produced in this country and the money printing scam runs its course, the game will be up. This country has a choice, go to war to win or default, restructure, and place the power of the country back to the idividual States.
Rent walkouts point to strains in U.S. farm economyCHICAGO (Reuters) - Across the U.S. Midwest, the plunge in grain prices to near four-year lows is pitting landowners determined to sustain rental incomes against farmer tenants worried about making rent payments because their revenues are squeezed.
Some grain farmers already see the burden as too big. They are taking an extreme step, one not widely seen since the 1980s: breaching lease contracts, reducing how much land they will sow this spring and risking years-long legal battles with landlords.
The tensions add to other signs the agricultural boom that the U.S. grain farming sector has enjoyed for a decade is over. On Friday, tractor maker John Deere cut its profit forecast citing falling sales caused by lower farm income and grain prices.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/rent-walkouts-point-strains-u-farm-economy...
Raw land is dropping fairly fast in my area and are about 40% less then their height a few years ago. The locla banker/loan officer who lives down the street predicts another 40% or more.
They should have planted their seed in Apple..... Don't those Farmers know nobody needs real stuff anymore?
The kin folks said move away from there Jed and Getcha self a heaping helping of the Federal Ponzi.... Free money, Zero % interest rates, sex parties with Honorary Johns.
One of the things that hasn't been reported on is basically just how many farmers today are really modern 'sharecroppers' who essentially have almost all of the risk pushed down on them. In a lot of ways it is not much different that the Ante Bellum South where you had the wealthy white land owners turn poor farmers (black and white) into slightly more than economic serfs.
She equivocates all the way and believes that gov't officials are well-meaning and are trying to do what they think will "work".
She's a plant, naive, or a policy wonk looking for a job.
...or she doesn't want to be seen as being a knowing accomplice in a huge continuing criminal action.
Maybe she just wants to sell her book to everyone.
........maybe she just wants to avoid a nailgun.
Why does gold being "Heavy" make it hard to deal with? She then goes on to say property is liquid? WTF?
She does not know much about gold to be honest. People are going into bitcoin, another fiat currency only digital made me want to laugh. Most people do not even know what bitcoin is or how it works. I will keep my physical gold anytime. All the markets are manipulated, period. She is spot on about government tilted towards the financial markets.
She is an insider like Jim Rickards so in a thread of truth is a lot of BS. This is the company line and they throw a bone to you guys (price manipulation) to make you think this is worth your time. It is interesting to see ZH slowly get infiltrated by bankers and wall street cons.
There is more than one reason to read it, and more than one thing to learn.
If you know what to read for.
Oh good..some news...
(*post may include sarcasm)
And on a serious note.. that guys name is 'Lies-man'?..
Are you shittin me?... you can't write this kinda stuff if you tried...
Its not a mystery that gold has not faired well during all this money printing its that QE money is directed into specific areas where banks are mostly invested such as morgages, stocks and generally debts which carry interest payments. So you see distortedly high prices in all these areas banks are interested as this is where new money goes to ensure debts stay good and interest payments keep flowing in for the banks and you see little to no change even delfated prices in areas they are not interested like gold for example as gold does not tend to be a debt obligation on bank balance sheets that carrys interest.
Wow, blowing that whistle now after the last 7 years of blatant "Rigging"... Chick has balls.
sounds like she like wealth redistribution
Bug Fuck! Sounds like world-wide Bath House Barry Communism!
I would never fuck a bug. but barry is a marxist. No doubt his chickens are coming home to roost.
if only we could be so lucky...
"Governments Control Markets; There Is No Price Discovery Anymore"
I finally get the message in 2015??? Are you guys / gals shitting me....Thank god for that headline,, I never would have guessed...
This has to be a fucking nightmare....
I spent $450 bucks at 3 grocery stores shopping sales stuff mostly on Saturday which is really insane.I spoke to my buddy who manages a Saefway in my town and he said that unless they have the Five dollar Friday sales they would be in the toilet totally. He also said that selling at that price is total deflation and their margins are being destroyed. He does not see how they can survive and he is worried about his job.
I am also worried about mine my company is 65 % off sales and revenue yoy and we are headed south.
I am a old guy and never have seen the economy this bad no matter what you read contray. I am in the auto finance business and deal with poor credit but the captives and money center banks are buying that paper hand over fist just to stay alive. 26 % of new car franchise sales are sub 600 fico scores and 34 % are lease because the good credit types cannot afford the payment. The Manhiem auto auction in PA had 5400 cars to auction 2 weeks ago and 1700 were 2015 and 2014 models years with under ten thousand miles which were repos.
Thanks cheap money for all the economic distortions ruin what ever you want and the peoples lives so you can buy another beach house. I have a hard working 21 year old and I really feel bad for him and his friends they will never have peace of mind or a happy life.
Thanks for the view from the trenches. I always appreciate hearing what others are seeing "on the ground" where they live. There are not many pockets of the country that seem to be doing well, except in connection with Washington DC or Wall Street.
I can add my perspective as a lawyer who handles hi-tech bullshit. Those assholes and their 5 man teams are bringing in absurd funding rounds - I have clients who take in $2-50 million a year in funding. These funds largely come from VCs that are more or less government/intel. The companies don't make any profits and just keep getting more funding and bridge loans because everyone believes they'll exit. My clients who do turn profits are working in disgusting advertising skim operations or are benefitting directly from the US spy-matrix grid expansion. The ones who do well are the ones who know how to scam the American lie. I miss real people who work for real and contribute to their community. That's why Upgrayedd is pulling an HonestAnne soon.
I am an old guy too. I know what you are saying.
In Canada years ago, we were being sold "Free" trade. We thought we could buy American goods and bring them over sans duty and tax. I don't know what free trade meant, except I know companes like Nike and Apple are working people to suicide in far off lands for less than the price of a MacDonald's breakfast in the USA for a days wage.
Capitalism works if a company treats their employees fairly, but when the top syphons off everything, treats their employees like slave, even monitoring if they have a cigarette at home or not, we have a big problem.
We need a major reset allright, not in Russia, but in DC. There is going to be some sufferring for a bit, but you can't tell me there aren't thousands of homeless not suffering now.
We need change, but not the banker/politician/lawyer type. We need the go back to Constitution type change.
That is exactly what capitalism is. End of the Cold War enabled that labor arbitrage which was already showing a lot of cracks in the West (especially the UK and US) to be ripped apart almost completely in the private sector and to various degrees in other countries.
I'm a manufacturer and provide service to the same people. Sales imploded in September of 2014. It is terrible. The service side is OK, but has seen fallen a little. Lots of cancelations since oil went splat.
$240 BTC is looking even better.
CNBC is pure shit and their broadcast team should wipe barry's snot off their chins before they speak.
What conspiracy are we supposed to be talking about here? The fed has openly been buying trillions in securities with the express purpose of driving up their price for years now. No big secret.
Do you really think it makes a difference if they buy stocks or bonds?
How much more explicit do they need to be?
If this is what qualifies as a conspiracy, no wonder you all think they are everywhere.
The things that pass as 'news' these days.
She's drunk!

Zbig: Put that funny cigarette down and listen to Henry, Barry.
Barry: SSSSST! OK.
Henry: You see, Baff House, ze reason you are here iss ve must convert ze vurld over to Full Sofiet!
Barry: Cool! Frank said it would happen. But why are you Hebrew Guys in charge?
Zbig: Zionistas.
Henry: Because ve are ze chosin ones! Only Ve can do it!
Barry: This is way cool. OK. So, what do I gotta do?
Zbig: Well......here is the Plan......
actually, it does matter if they buy stocks or bonds, bonds are wildly more important, and artificially low interest rates affect almost everyone (some in a good way, some not), as the vast majority of adults have some form of debt, be it car loan, mortgage, line of credit, student loan etc.
Relatively few people own stocks in any meaningful amount.
And of course QE has artifically supported commodity and precious metals prices too.
But those bubbles seem to be deflating rapidly now.
Wah happened to the Rothschild thread? Weekend party's over, i reckon. The min wage post from the holidays also got disappeared a few weeks ago. ZH has either gone PC or some of these articles are getting nailgunned or into boating accidents.
i kept telling you guys that raygun was a dirty socialist commie but you wouldn't listen. capitalism has always been a lie.
Duh?
I knew this six years ago. Am I smart? Phuck no.
Nah Duc, you ain't smart, you're brilliant!
Al Capone said "this ain't a market, it's a racket!" when asked why he didn't apply his considerable intellect on Wall St. instead of crime.

Price discovery is racist.
anti semitic
God listen at steve liesman and joe kiernan. How disgusting. Sceaming conspiracy crap. Like there's no way it could be true. It's so obvious that they are trying to cover it up. Even art cashin too. Lying fucks.
Don't fight the Fed, BTFD. That is all, over.
Conspiracy theories presuppose the venality from power corrupting men. Trust is an antithesis of conspiracy. Government, the media, bankers or other want to control your wealth or life? Cui bono from your trusting? Cui malo from your trusting?
"Monetary Policy". Hahahahaha
This story is bullshit just like the Greenspan story!
All the sudden some of these assholes jump out of the wood work and cry that the "Sky is falling"
This is a psychological operation to placate the average joe or the end of this cluster fuck is imminent and in sight and now some of the banksters are decrying what they had participated in to save their skin or their reputations.
No plea bargains no mercy Fuck them.
In Praise of Price Discovery
For six years financial markets have been drugged into zombiedom by maniacal central bankers who have violated every known rule of sound money and financial market honesty. In expanding their collective balance sheets from $5 trillion to $16 trillion over the past decade, for instance, they have midwifed a planet-wide fiscal fraud. Politicians have been enabled to spend and borrow like never before because central banks have swapped trillions of public debt for electronic cash confected from nothing.

Gotta love ole Bonner. Still plugging away. The message board he had over there was more entertaining than his blogs, which were also pretty humorous and sarcastic, but always informative. Glad he's still fighting his/our war between "what ought to be" and "what is." ZeroHedge's founders probably counted among his readers.
The more convinced the masses become that no "real" correction in the equity markets can occur with central bank intervention,
the more convinced I become that we are on the verge of a major incidence.
Once it happens, I think it maybe a spectacle unlike anything before witnessed.
Timing as always is an issue but can "bullish conviction" at this point get any higher?
There are rumors that they are planning a New Madrid earthquake. FEMA has a page up on it. There was an order for thousands of morgue trailers.
Theft covered by lies and bullshit.
The banksters need to repay us.
Inflation is the outcome of the banksters' stealing your depoists and counterfeting more.
