You think that drink is Schiff is holding is because he likes to drink? It's because the motherfucker had his tongue up the Bernank's asshole not 5 minutes before the photo was taken, and he's trying to wash the taste out. Schiff likes to make money and if that involves sucking Ben's ass, he'll do it.

Tough times ahead for insider traders now that the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled illegal the mass hoovering up of all American communications under section 215 of the Patriot Act.  The Carlyle Group, which once owned 90% of Booz Allen Hamilton (where Snowden worked), must have seen the handwriting on the wall, which is why it has reduced its stake in the firm to 37%.  Probably after having one of its Booz Allen analysts scoop up the 2nd Circuit's metada (which can be converted to written transcripts in microseconds).  Too bad thsi decision didn't come last year, Joan Rivers may have still been alive today.

Meanwhile, this pops up...

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/d98b3e7331194263bd7a4dd35ff1170a/ebola-fo...

Ebola has infected more than 26,000 people since December 2013 in West Africa. Some survivors have reported eye problems but how often they occur isn't known. The virus also is thought to be able to persist in semen for several months.

The new report concerns Dr. Ian Crozier, a 43-year-old American physician diagnosed with Ebola in September while working with the World Health Organization in Sierra Leone.

He was treated at Emory University Hospital's special Ebola unit in Atlanta and released in October when Ebola was no longer detected in his blood. Two months later, he developed an inflammation and very high blood pressure in one eye, which causes swelling and potentially serious vision problems.

He returned to Emory, where ophthalmologist Dr. Steven Yeh drained some of the fluid and had it tested for Ebola. It contained the virus but tears and tissue around the outside of his eye did not.

Standard Disclaimer: Keep hoping it mutates to the "banker" strain...

So what?  About the only member of the Jewish Banking Mafia that Peter Schiff isn't related to is Jacob Schiff.  For all the love of conspiracy theories around here and the fetish for assigning guilt by virtue of the Six Degree of Kevin Bacon School of Amateur Intelligence... I would have though someone would have hit on it in 5 years (infinite monkey theorem and all).

All the elite on Wall Street are basically related by blood or by marriage, irrespective of their professed faiths.  That is what CLASS is, on a long enough timeline...

Never forget that Jewish guilt has resulted in decisions being made by Jewish women home.

 

Uncommon Knowledge: The phrase "Illegitimi non carborundum" may look like Latin, but it doesn't exactly translate to "Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down."

Carborundum is actually the name of an extremely hard mineral (silicon carbide) used for grinding. Illegitimi suggests illegitimate, but it really has no meaning in Latin.

The phrase originated during World War II and is attributed to British army intelligence. It was later adopted by US Army general "Vinegar" Joe Stillwell as his war-time motto.
