Jason Furman Gets the NFP Report the Night Before the Official Release, Does Anyone Else?

StalingradandPoorski's picture




 

Last night on Bloomberg TV, they had an interview with Jason Furman, President Obama's Chief Economist. What caught my attention was right at the beginning of the interview, with Bloomberg's Hans Nichols whereby he mentions the following to Furman: "You're the man who brings the President the jobs numbers on Thursday night, the Thursday night before everyone gets to see them." Why this came as a huge surprise to me, was that as far as I and everyone around me knew,  no one except the BLS has access to the data, and that the data wasn't available till 8am on Friday morning. I remember a video in March of last year, where PBS Newshour interviewed Karen Kosanovich of the BLS, where she mentions that her and others are quarantined, and she mentions how tight the security measures are. This just makes me wonder, how is Furman getting the NFP data (email? in person?), and who else is getting it? If the Fed minutes were being leaked to congress and lobbyists, anything is possible is all I'm saying.

Wasn't there something similar that went down a month or two before the 2008/2012 elections...?

Depressions, *by design* are events triggered in such a way as to look random or accidental.....where the cash that has slowly trickled down to the middle and lower economic layers of the population over the years, can be almost instantly sucked right back up into the 1%, and nobody knows what hit them; It is simply Carpetbaggers strip-mining the last of the not-nailed-down-wealth from all of America

TievendeFred: "Voor 1 november 2015 nieuw bestuursakkoord tussen rijk en gemeenten".

http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4500/Politiek/article/detail/3975709/2015/04/2...

Burgemeester Eberhard van der Laan zei dat hij zich de boze reacties goed kon voorstellen. Hij stelde voor om er over enkele weken dieper op in te gaan.

VVD en PvdA hebben anderhalve week mogen onderhandelen hoe ze zich in de volgende fase van de 3e SpinozaGolf zich zouden gedragen. Jan Paternotte, fractievoorzitter D66 in Amsterdam, kent natuurlijk niet de strategie en noemt het 'een dom en onwerkbaar compromis'. 'Overal in Nederland sluit je de bed-, bad- en broodopvang. Die mensen stuur je naar Amsterdam, want de meesten zullen hierheen komen, en dan mogen wij ze na enkele weken weer op straat kwakken. Als je kiest voor een in tijd beperkte opvang, zoals nu het plan is, zwerven die mensen daarna weer op straat. Want een aantal mensen kan niet uitgezet worden, dat is nu juist het probleem.'

Voor netwerk @GuusjA is dat helemaal geen probleem, want deze mensen komen in netwerk @SuperWil. Deze oplossing voor het illegalenvraagstuk zal namelijk het debat over 'wat is de rol van de mens in de evoluerende werkelijkheid' op een hoger plan zetten. De naar schatting 80- tot 100.000 mensen die illegaal in Nederland verblijven zijn namelijk ideaal om het systeem 'Liegen om te Leven' op te blazen.

De rol van het Europese Comité voor Sociale Rechten is om het 'Internationaal Verdrag inzake Economische Sociale en Culturele Rechten' te gebruiken om het systeem 'Leven en Laten Leven' te promoten. Eduard Nazarski, directeur van Amnesty International Nederland, ziet dat het waarheiddelen tussen 'het Torentje' en de Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten eindelijk op gang komt. Ook de zetbaas van de @RaadvanState is blij dat netwerk @MinPres niets heeft losgelaten van de blauwdruk van het systeem 'Leven en Laten Leven'.

Sybrand Buma is namelijk getuige geweest van een gênante vertoning, waarin het schizofrene compromis de aanzet moet zijn om de Kamer te informeren over ...

In het beleidsplan 2010-2015 van Stichting Met Elkaar stond dat de Nederlandse Publieke Omroep de invoering van het DAB-systeem moet ondersteunen. De commercie zal geen 'bedreiging voor Nederland 1 zijn;, omdat de 5 grootste politieke partij'en ieder de 5 blokken mogen inkleuren. 

 

http://www.volkskrant.nl/media/npo-doet-greep-naar-de-macht-in-omroeplan...

 

Natuurlijk zullen grote internationale bedrijven als Liberty Global (Ziggo), Google, Apple en Netflix ook zendtijd kopen om het (creatief) bewustzijn van de kijker te prikkelen, maar kan nooit zo aan waarheidsvinding doen dan de grootste politieke partij'en. 

 

http://nos.nl/artikel/2031936-bbb-akkoord-schendt-mensenrechten.html

 

Het script die VN-rapporteur Philip Alston van netwerk Juncker heeft gekregen stond dat hij geen goed woord mocht hebben over het Haagse compromis om de blauwdruk van het systeem 'Leven en Laten Leven' nog onder de pet te houden. Natuurlijk is de 'bed-bad-en-broodregeling in strijd met internationale regels', maar het is nog niet zover dat psychosegelovige gewetens worden onthoofd. 

 

http://www.volkskrant.nl/dossier-europese-unie/juncker-imiteren-van-popu...

 

Dus mag Jean-Claude Juncker binnenkort vertellen dat 'de gevestigde politieke orde is aangevallen en opgejut door burgers en media', omdat ze nog steeds geen beleid maken in lijn met de 'Logica van de 1'. 

 

Juncker verwijtte al in december 2014 dat de traditionele partijen in Nederland zich 'muisstil' houden over Europese integratie. Nu kan hij zijn gram halen door alle regeringen te bestempelen als onbekwaam en een deal te maken met de gemeenten. Dus behalve Griekenland, gewoon alle landen van de eurozone failliet te verklaren.

I am in awe that the President gets access to the numbers ahead of everyone else? Why is that? So he can massage them? Make up some fucking story?

Here's the truth. I can't think of one justifiable reason why a President would need those numbers any sooner than anyone else. It's just the same old elitist bullshit where King Obama or Jarrett probably demanded that- given their Godlike status- they should have them before anyone ese because dontcha know- they are entitled, would never engage in scandalous leaks, and certainly not to their buddies and donors. Like Warren.

This is why I strongly believe that there won't be a market crash any time soon. 

The markets are now under the control of the elites in a big way. should the markets fall significantly, a lot of very "important" people will get burned. Heaven forbid, they cannot let that happen.

Au contraire!  I believe that the true insiders are fomenting a crash.  Why?  So that they can buy the assets from distressed sellers for pennies on the dollar.  The longer these various QEs go on, the greater the debt load on the masses.  For instance, US student loan debt is now $1.3 trillion.

We've all heard and read about the calamity that was the Great Depression.  We know about people losing their homes, farms, and businesses, but those assets were not destroyed in the Great Depression.  Ownership of those assets passed from those bankrupted to those who had cash to buy at the bottom.  I believe that we will see the same thing in the next Great Depression, and it is being brought to you by the same people, the central bankers, who gave us the last one.

"I believe that the true insiders are fomenting a crash."

Who are these true insiders? The large banks? If not, who else, maybe the polititians or the FED itself. ZH is such a great website. I stumbled accross it some six months ago and now addicted. But I have to tell you, sometimes these conspiracy theories do get quite wild. 

If any one was deliberately formenting a crash, I'm sure that it would have already occurred. The only people creating these bubbles are the people willing to gambling everything for a slice of the action. Do you recall the article about the Cheese sandwich truck? What f.....g idiot investor would effectively pay $20000000.00 for a truck?

Bring back the dot.com, such sweet times.

Exactly Big Dog, the whole point of a central bank is to create a system where the elites transfer real assets from the common folk via boom and bust periods.  That is why there wont be a QE4 because the system is designed to crash.  Now after the crash I am sure there will be other monetary easing.  

 

To fuck with the smart money people I always ask them 2 questions, "do you believe in capitalism?" (they always say yes, cuz to say otherwise is taboo) then I ask "If you support capitalism then how can you support a central bank, a central authority deciding on rates, shouldn’t the market decide the rates?" I love it how they stutter and try to explain why we need a central bank, but they already fucked up by saying they support capitalism, because all I have to do to counter their flawed argument is "but didnt you say you support capitalism?"  Fucking morons most of them.

 The Fed was allegedly created to prevent boom & bust cycles, to prevent great depressions.  They tied all the worlds banks together so that if one falls we all fall together.

I believe what you say is true. The whole purpose is to smooth out booms & busts. However, the Central banks actions are working in opposite. Their continual involvement is actually amplifying the booms & busts. No one, not even the FED can tamper with natural economic cycles without causing unintended consequences.

They have certainly failed at their stated mission, question is, are they failing for unintended consequences, or maybe their stated mission was bullshit to dazzle us until they succeeded internationalizing the issuance of currency - crushing the American producers and crashing the Dollar, until we all become good little consumers.... because competition is evil and obedient slaves make the Elite filthy rich!

Where finance, and especially global finance, is concerned:  CHAOS RULES!

That's always been the case.

Can't have those remarkable, super-profit making swings, with mass speculation and artificial bubbles!

69BIGDOG69 is correct --- several years ago I heard an interview on a progressive radio station of several newly minted economics PhDs who had begun a nonprofit dedicated to stamping out any type of market chaos or churn.  They believed that was the problem with economies, all those ups and downs.

I questioned them as to how they thought the elites made their money (besides land grants, taxes back due to rigged conservation laws for all that fallow land from those land grants, etc.)?

No response. . .
