The Debate: GOP Candidates Elevated, CNBC Eviscerated
Let's get this straight. On Wednesday morning a new national poll revealed that 54% of Americans rate the economy as 'poor.' That's after nearly seven years of Barack Obama's big government solutions. Republicans, of course, are especially gloomy about the economy.
That was Wednesday morning, teeing things up for CNBC, the self-described 'world leader in business news.' Surely the moderators would flood the zone with substantive questions about the U.S. economy.
Instead, Becky Quick quizzed Marco Rubio about his 'lack of bookkeeping skills,' Carl Quintanilla posed questions about homosexuality and fantasy football, and the astonishingly incompetent John Harwood expressed doubt about Donald Trump's 'moral authority.'
To be fair, CNBC's triumvirate asked many questions about taxes and spending and deficits and Social Security, but way too many of those questions did not elicit solid answers. They seemed crafted to bring attention to the hosts, not the candidates.
But, as Contra Corner blog's David Stockman details, almost with out exception the GOP candidates conveyed a compelling message that the state is not our savior, while the CNBC moderators spent the night fumbling with fantasy football and inanities about which vitamin supplements Ben Carson has used or endorsed.
But this was about more than tone. The interaction between the candidates and the CNBC moderators revealed the yawning gap between the bubble world at the intersection of Washington and Wall Street and the hard scrabble reality of economic stagnation and political alienation on main street America.
Yes, the CNBC moderators engaged in a deplorable display of gotcha journalism punctuated by a snarky self-righteousness that was downright offensive. John Harwood is surely secretly on the payroll of the Democratic National Committee and it was more than obvious why Becky Quick excels at serving tea to blathering old fools like Warren Buffett.
So they deserved the Cruz missile that came flying at them mid-way through the debate.
At that point the Senator from Texas had had enough, especially from Carl Quintanilla. The latter has spend years on CNBC commentating about the “market”, but wouldn’t know honest capitalism is if slapped him upside the head, and has apparently never meet a Washington intervention that he didn’t cheer on as something to help the stock averages go higher:
Let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media. This is not a cage match. And if you look at he questions—Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math?… Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen? How about talking about substantive issues?”
Nor did the Texas Senator let up:
“Carl, I’m not finished yet. The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every thought and question form the media was ‘Which of you is more handsome and wise”
As one pundit put it afterwards, “given the grievous injuries inflicted on Team CNBC” by Cruz and the rest of the candidates, the only thing left to do was to “shoot the wounded”.
Actually, there is rather more. Last night was billed as a debate on domestic issues and the economy, and CNBC is the communications medium of record about the daily comings and goings of the US economy and the financial markets at its center. Yet not one of the three moderators during the entire two hour period asked a question about the elephant in the room.
They had to bring in from the sidelines the intrepid Rick Santelli to even get the Federal Reserve on the table. Its almost as if the CNBC commentators work on the set of the Truman Show and have no clue that it’s all make believe.
In the alternative, call this condition Bubble Blindness. It’s a contagious ideological disease that afflicts the entire corridor from Wall Street to Washington, and CNBC is the infected host that propagates it.
The fact is, the monetary madness in the Eccles Building is destroying free market capitalism by systematically and massively falsifying the prices of financial assets, and fueling a relentless, debilitating accumulation of debt throughout the warp and woof of the American economy and the rest of the world; and it’s simultaneously extinguishing political democracy by deeply subsidizing our crushing $19 trillion national debt.
The GOP politicians appropriately sputtered last night about the bipartisan beltway scam rammed through the House yesterday by Johnny Lawnchair, but they were given no opportunity by their clueless moderators to explore exactly why this kind of taxpayer betrayal happens over and over.
Well, there is a simple answer. The Fed’s elephantine $4.5 trillion balance sheet represents the greatest fiscal fraud ever conceived. Last year it paid the Treasury approximately $100 billion in absolutely phony profits scalped from its massive trove of Treasury debt and quasi-government GSE paper.
That is, over time Uncle Sam has purchased $4.5 trillion worth of real economic resources——in the form of goods, services, salaries and transfer payments——from the US economy, which were paid for with IOUs.
Under an honest financial regime these obligations would be eventually redeemed in equivalent goods and services, thereby causing a transfer from private to public use and a reallocation of savings from productive investment to the balance sheet of the state.
But no more. The Fed’s massive purchases of the public debt are funded not with society’s real savings from current income and production, but from fiat credits it conjures out of thin air.
And then the monetary charlatans behind the curtain at the Fed add insult to injury. Every year they send back to the US treasury the coupons earned on these airballs, causing the politicians to think the national debt is no problem; and that they can buy aircraft carriers and GS-15 salaries indefinitely while booking a “profit” on their borrowings.
Folks, this is just plain madness. Back in 1989 when the real median household income first hit its current level of about $54,000, this entire monetization scam would have been considered beyond the pale by even the inhabitants of the Eccles Building, and most certainly by everyone else in Washington——from the US Treasury, to the Congressional budget committees, to the summer interns in the Rayburn Building.
But after 25 years of central bank induced financialization of the US economy, there has developed a cult of the stock market and a Wall Street regime of relentless financial gambling in the guise of “investment”. Consequently, the massive aritificial inflation of financial asset values is not even recognized by CNBC and its fellow travelers in the main stream financial press—to say nothing of the very prosperous punters who inhabit the casino.
But here’s the thing. How did the real median household income stagnate at $54,000 while the real value of the S&P 500 soared by nearly 4X during the era of Bubble Finance?
Likewise, how did the aggregate “market cap” of US debt and business equity soar from 200% to 540% of GDP when main street living standards were not rising at all? Could it be that something rotten and deformed has been injected into the very financial bloodstream of American capitalism—-something which the CNBC cheerleaders dare not acknowledge or even allow conservative politicians to explore in a public forum?
Worse still, this entire Fed-driven regime of Bubble Finance has inculcated in the casino and its media megaphones the insidious notion that the arms and agencies of government exist for one purpose above all others. Namely, to do “whatever it takes” to keep the bubble inflated and the stock market averages rising—–preferably every single day the market is open.
There was no more dramatic demonstration of that proposition than after the Wall Street meltdown in September 2008 when the as yet un-house broken GOP had had the courage to vote down TARP.
But when they were dragged back into the House chambers by Goldman Sachs and its plenipotentiaries in the US Treasury, the message was unmistakable. On one side of the CNBC screen was the House electronic voting board and on the other side was the second-by-second path of the S&P 500. And delivering the voice-over narrative were the same clowns who could not even mention the Fed last night. The US Congress dare not vote down TARP again, they fulminated.
It obviously didn’t. Yet right then and there the conservative opposition was broken, and the present statist regime of Bubble Finance was off to the races.
During the coming decade the nation will be battered and shattered by a monumental fiscal crisis and the bankruptcy of the bogus “trust funds” which now pay out upwards of $2 trillion per year to 70 million citizens. At length, the bearers of pitchforks and torches descending on Washington will surely ask how this all happened.
But they will not need to look much beyond last night’s debate for the answers. The nation’s fiscal process has been literally shutdown by the Fed and the Wall Street gamblers and media cheerleaders who insouciantly and relentlessly demand of Washington that it do “whatever it takes” to keep the bubble inflated.
As a result, we have had the absurdity of 82 months of ZIRP and a orgy of public debt monetization that has driven the weighted average cost of the Federal debt to a mere 1.75%. That’s close enough to free for government purposes—–so exactly which heroic politicians are going to fall on the sword to stop the debt machine when they can kick the can without visible consequences?
And when a few courageous remnants of fiscal sanity like Senators Cruz and Rand Paul have had the courage to resist still another increase in the public debt ceiling, they have been treated as pariahs by Wall Street and the kind of snarky financial media types on display last night.
The fact is, the President has clear constitutional powers to prioritize spending in the absence of an increase in the debt ceiling. That is, he can pay the interest on the debt, keep the Veterans hospitals open, send out the social security checks and prioritize any other category of spending that he chooses from the current inflow of tax revenues, and for as long as it takes to legislate an honest fiscal retrenchment.
Needless to say, that would create howls of pain from the Federal vendors who wouldn’t get paid, the state and local governments which would have to wait for their grant payments and the Federal employees who would be put on furlough.
But that is not the reason that Mitch McConnell and Johnny Lawnchair have capitulated every time a debt ceiling crisis has reached the boiling point. That kind of action-forcing circumstance was managed by Washington innumerable times in the pre-Bubble Finance world, including on upwards of a dozen occasions during my time in the Reagan White House.
But back then no one thought that Wall Street would have a hissy fit if the government was shutdown for a few days or if the fiscal gravy train was temporarily put on hold; nor did politicians much care if it did.
My goodness. Paul Volcker had taught Wall Street a thing or two about the requisites of financial discipline in any event.
No, what is different now is that the establishment GOP politicians are petrified of a stock market collapse, and have been brow-beaten into the false belief that a government shutdown will create severe political costs.
Baloney. Even the totally botched affair in October 2013 created no lasting damage—-as attested to by the GOP sweep in the 2014 elections.
At the end of the day, all the hyperventilation about the political costs of a government shutdown or the forced prioritization of spending in the absence of a debt ceiling increase is pure Wall Street propaganda; and its an untruth amplified and repeated endlessly, loudly and often hysterically by its financial media handmaidens.
At least last night some GOP politicians gave it back to them good and hard.
So maybe there is some hope for release from the destructive pall of Bubble Finance, after all.

Still think "voting" matters? LMFAO!
Can we please stop talking about the circuses part of bread and circuses?
< Trump
< Not Trump
Liberals and Progressives = mentally Ill
Democrats = Mentally Retarded (since there is no Democrat party anymore)
John Harwood is a fussy, prissy, little bitch of a libtard.
Indeed. And Becky, you're still lookin' good. Too bad you completely exposed yourself as a shill for the ptb. All those years - perpetratin' like you were a serious financial journalist...
I lost interest in CNBC 15 years ago, and I know they have been falling like a rock in the ratings, but this was like them finally taking off the mask and baring their chests.
thinking about that... becky - If you're going to bare your chest after all these years, at least show us them titties....
If Obama should ever come to a sudden halt Harwoods head would be lodged so far up his ass he'd be wearing Barrys sphincter as a Nehru collar. Rumor has it Har(D)wood enjoys cocoa butter night at The White Swallow.
Are they still voting?
Hard to find any of the GOP clowns worth even listening to for 5 seconds.
Fell the Bern!
Beats the fuck out of the Bengahzi email beast and Mr. Communist chia pet though doesn't it?
Grandpa commie can get run off a stage by two loudmouths.
Well, yeah, but given the choice between Jeb and Bern, I'd go for eating a bullet.
Only a complete and total fucking idiot would ever vote for a Socialist fool.
Well, they seem pretty happy in Denmark.
Ah, but you pay slightly less in taxes for the freedom of massive debt and healthcare costs, so I see your point. Ever consider that you're being screwed at least as bad now as you would be under an eeeeevil socialist? No? Well maybe you ought to try considering it just for fun. As a thought experiment...
Because guess what - the non-socialist candidates are going to fuck you, and your country, substantially worse than the cantankerous old nut from Vermount could or would.
Enjoy the wars, and keep telling yourself you're "free" and living in a "capitalist" utopia as the .01% continue milking you and pointing at the bad men over there {no no - over there} who want to take your freedoms away...
With few exceptions, they're all big government socialists to varying degrees. The fucking "Bern" is the only with the balls to admit it -- and that includes a lot of apologist commenters here on ZH who for some reason, are clearly socilaists based upon their rants, yet do everything in their power to deny it.
That being said, why would those whose principles are anchored by individualism, personal responsibility, and limited government -- and proudly admit it -- ever vote for someone who openly tells everyone that he is the polar opposite?
The reds around here sure as hell don't deny anything. Reds don't admit failure, they double down on it.
Only reason why Denmark can appeal to you is because how much worse US got. Decades back it would be Denmark taking US as example and if anyone in US said it want to make it like Denmark they would probably shoot that person. Also, US will never be like Denmark, its a different country and culture. Slapping few laws from their into US system(while omitting many others) wont make it anything like them.
You confuse us with someone that gives a shit about anything to do with this evil government.
You do realize that Denmark would not exist at all if not for the US/Russia, right? To help you out, the Americans supplied the manufacturing and the Russians supplied the bodies.
Not so much since they started importing parasitic dindus.
"Fell the Bern"
He will "Fell" himself as he is there just to get the far left back on the short yellow school bus and to the polls on time to vote for the nasty skank.

Lyndon LaRouche should enter the race, should make things interesting for Hitlery.
Bill O Reilly....ask one Dbag about another Dbag?
I whonder if Russia streams our "news" outlets and just rebrands it as Comedy Central on their stations.
Roger that. Jerry Springer could have asked more relevant and profound questions then this bunch of gruberized overpaid shills.
TD,
I urge you to do YOUR part! Show readers the VERY INSTRUCTIVE content that is here!
http://showrealhist.com/yTRIAL.html
If by "elevated" you mean whined about the media. Will that be how they run the presidency - complain that MSNBC is being unfair to them?
Presidential indeed.
More like standing up to bullies.
FUCK YOU, CNBC!!!!!!!!!! BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised CNBC didn't have Caitlyn Jenner as a moderator asking questions about the pros & cons of inflation.
Hey! Did hear Hillary! is opening up her own IT company? ;-)
Caitlyn, Howard Stern and Springer will be the next three moderators.....
That would be an upgrade.
Thanks for the chuckle - and a very good line because CNBC in particular would pull some stunt like that as well, couched, of course, in the language of progress and acceptance and the like.
Bruce Jenner has been a fake old cunt for years by now. I'd rather listen to Maroon 5 than to Jenner pontificate anymore.
the consumer 'economy' of make-work activity runs backwards, and the consumers have voted to tell the producers what to do, so the producers have opted out, leaving the critters to implode, at which time the next group can take over. The kids are not participating, so what are they doing? Well, there's a distribution...If anyone thinks anyone in this country is actually paying taxes out of production to subsidize consumption, I mean public, private and non-profit corporations, instead of a bunch of morons printing money...
Gotta give Trump credit; the others said that you cannot grow your way out...I'm watching, wondering if the repubs pittied Carson against Trump and the two teamed up...
CNBC is the infected host that propagates it
I might be more inclined to believe this if the ratings showed that anyone watches CNBC anymore.
Should have collectivly walk out on the mother fucking shit heads at CN-BS
"and it was more than obvious why Becky Quick excels at serving tea to blathering old fools like Warren Buffett."
Arguably the euphemism of the week.
Becky Twit
dON'T even think she qualified for that but she can sure rub Warren's knob. Such a clueless cunt and that metrosexual cunt Quintinilla is such a fucktard. Fuck Harwood, he still obama's jizm on his cheeks for the show
Gosh, who could have seen this coming from PMSNBC's little sister CNBC? Fucking hacks all the way down to the janitor who cleans the head. Seriously, Becky Cumquick. Carl Quesadilla & John Hardonwood? These fucking libtard DEM activists posing as "journalists"; hired because they have no shame and will blindly follow the Libtard line. Any bets any one of them will ask Cankles about her money laundering, crime family, tax evading Foundation any time soon?

Even National Propaganda Radio was bashing CNBC as "comical" this mornnig. The far left Dian Reems repeatedly reamed them with her guests. Sort of the pot calling the kettle black but it was still fun.
D-i-i-i-d youuuuu seeeeee thhhhhe d-e-b-b-a-ttttt-e?
I may not be in the majority with this, and, lest anyone wonder, I could not give less of a fuck about that, but in my particular view - the field of candidates tendered by the GOP is a fucking embarrassment.
None of these people have answers.
All of them can be counted on to fuck Americans over and over again to benefit their buddies and benefactors.
Not one of these reprehensible sacks of meat gives a fuck about you, or this country, or the real, productive economy.
All of these men represent further sacrificing American blood and treasure to shitty ideas.
Every one of them.
Fuck 'em all.

“I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.”
- George C.
Voting or not voting is the real Catch-22.
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
If you do vote the only choice you're given is corrupt politicians and if you don't vote you have to live with the decisions made by your fellow traveling idiots.
Well I can rule out the ones like Barry who want to import a few more hundred thousand "refugees" I can tell ya that!
I mean - I believe that it literally doesn't matter. So to do it is to, in a way, repeatedly build your own cage.
consider this:
Placebo ButtonsThe Misconception: All buttons placed around you do your bidding.
The Truth: Many public buttons are only there to comfort you.
http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/02/10/placebo-buttons/
Voting is a placebo button.
It doesn't matter, a crack whore has the same vote as I. I quit voting before the last election cycle.
I plan on writing in 'Scrooge McDuck'. Just to make it obvious that I voted NONE OF THE FUCKING ABOVE,
With my luck it will be interpreted as a vote for Donald.
Well the handlers nightmare has occured. That's when something thats real negative for their client starts popping up on the Internet and those magic words are heard, "It's gone Viral, Jim." So I'm seeing video outakes of Cruz's pissiong in the face of the CNBC "moderators" along with scatological comments showing up all over the place. CNBC has become the crippled bird in the hen yard getting pecked to death.
The conservative candidates are telling the bozos in charge of the RNC, (Rancid Penis) that they want a change of venue or they are going to boycott the RNC choices and collectively start debating elsewhere.
Why have a debate or even an election.
Just throw them all, Repubs and Democraps, into the Thunder Dome and the one left standing wins.
That is kind of funny, would be entertaining, but won't actually work. Who run Bartertown?
One of the witches of CNBC witchcraft machine is good for nothing but a quick relief of some decomposing oracles' physiological needs, all of them, for handsome compensation worthy a nymphomaniac LGBT presstitudes.
If this cheap farce of ignorant and impotent fakers ,called a debate, would have any reminding shred of legitimacy they would be at least talking about the suffering of millions Americans that are being exterminated by the Wall Street and US government in ways for example like this:

As to the debates. Was there actually any sort of debate? All I heard was media sniping and candidate position statements. Not much rebuttal between any of them.

Yep.
After 102 years of CB fraud we are exactly where the scheme was intended to take us.
I suppose that folks who get paid to interpret the world for the rest of us need to do something with their time. And some of them may actually be stupid to be sincere. But this article is yet one more attempt to provide rational to a program clearly intended to take down Western Civilization.
Curencies are being crashed. National boundaries are being freely overrun, while jobs are being given away to anyone and everyone so long as they are not a citizen. Order has all but broken down in schools where the emphasis is on teaching young people to feel good about their ignorance while recognizing they can achieve no greater status then a claim to be someone else's victim. Meanwhile we sail back and forth passed the Chinese in the South China Sea daring them to shoot at us. And Germany is going to take in how many barbarian's this year?
Seriously... does anyone think this has anything to do with the stock market except in so much as the market can be used as an instrument to fleece what little wealth still lays beyond the immediate control of a handful of demonic low life villainous thugs?
Fucking A. Those CNBC tools all get driven in from NJ or LI each morning passing the Great Unwashed on the streets, while snuggled in the deep rich Corinthian leather interiors of their dedicated Towne Car. Becky should pose nude for Playboy before it goes out of business. Fuck the rest of them.
I'll bet the airport terminal bars had good liquor sales last night.
Just read the Huffington Post (Clintonton Post) about the debate, they are doing 'Warp 9' to reinvent the debate.
The Huffington Post really has deteriorated into buckets of pig diahorea, pathetic and obvious in attempts to hide Trump, raise Clinton a hundred times a day, praise Democrats as Jesus returned to earth and all else irrelevant. And osf course they have been sucking Obama's dick constantly no matter how badly he does.
The Post is becoming more and more desperate daily, and it would be interesting to look at the evolution of their front pages over the past year.
Huffington Post is really a culmination and caricature of all that is sick and rotten about American media.
And the nature of the media which the Huffington Post emptomises as well as the others, 'anything but the truth'
I'd gladly pay $100 to punch John Harwood in the face.
His eyes would roll back and he would inhale your arm. It would dissolve in seconds in his disease-ridden innards.
Twice.
The failure of America is just as much a result of the failure of its media.
And if you were to 'put against the wall' anybody for the destruction of the US it would the media owners and their prositutes who have whole heartedly betrayed the country.
..
...the field of candidates tendered by the GOP is a fucking embarrassment.
The entire USA has been an embarassment for the past decade or so.
Really this is to miss the reality entirely. Democrat candidates are just as useless, and in Clinton you have an absolute morally bankrupt and incompetent fool. All the candidates will be nothing more than proxies on a leash should they become POTUS. Nobody is going to be allowed to do anything that harms the Oligarch(s).
The big surprise from last night's debate is that Quesadilla, Quink and Holdwood made Jim Cramer seem like a normal person.
Anybody who's watched CNBC could of seen this coming a mile away. Harwood pulls this shit constantly. It's nothing more than a propaganda channel for the Obama administration.... Just like it's sister channel MSNBC. The real question is why the hell would they go on there? Have they've never seen the blatant manipulation of economic data by the anchors? I don't know who's the bigger idiots here?
I would say Reince Priebus but he knew exactly what he was trying to do.
Personally I would have refused.
There was some funny stuff, like Jeb Bush trying to sell his 4% program. But I saw a video posted by an authentic accountant, that showed in charts and graphs that were unimpeachable pieces of information from the GAO, that what the US needs to do to dig out of the hole, is have the economy produce 8% GDP for 16 years straight. Math is math. You just can't bullshit it. As a person once said: when numbers speak, they speak with eloquence. So 4% doesn't cut it Jeb. I'm sure you were saving the rest of the money for microphones and tracking devices to surgically implant in every citizen, because it's such a great idea. Screw fixing anything. Just fix it so you and your masters are happy.
Jeb Bush is a piece of human excrement. He thinks he is fit to lead. He was promised the presidency- but he's too fkn stupid to even step into the footsteps of his brother. Never mind his Daddy is a Nazi.
Let's not speak about his Gran'pappy Prescott...
Same goes for Hitlary. Deserving, eh?
Ignore these people. Never mind that it's the right thing to do- the one thing that drives the psychopath crazy, is to laugh at them.
Reaganites can drone on about how he disempowered the Soviet, but it was laughter, and the sheer hopelessness of things that precipitated the fall of the USSR.
We ain't far behind.
OK. I didn't even read this article- there's no need.
This entire farce is intended to get you to focus on national-level issues, and ignore your own obviously local environment.
Face it, folks- most of you are in no way, shape or form qualified to opine on same. Neither am I.
If you know what's good for you, you'll ignore the circus of national-level politics, and concentrate on the slimeballs in your own neighborhood.
Yeah, I know that might get ugly. Do you actually think it will get better if you ignore it?
Leaders need minions. If the minions refuse to challenge those leaders, we need to challenge the minions.
Got a better idea?
I'd love to hear it.
Worst moderation I have ever seen. The moderators kept talking over the speakers, didn't use soft sounds to indicate times but kept saying WTF crap like "I'll give you 15 seconds", asked totally worthless questions, had no fairness in procedure, were arrogant and condescending, partisan as fuck, and worst of all it became about them, not the candidates.
You are absolutely correct, RedDwarf. The Moderators, aka "Team Hillary", certainly deserved the venom they received from the candidates after the "Cruz Missile" was shot. The only thing left to do is publicly tar and feather them.
I think it is time for Rush, Beck, Hannity and Levin to host a democratic debate... in the interest of fairness.
Great idea although they are too gentlemanly to ask the shitty questions the MSM does and the progs are too afraid to discuss any real issues and those that vote for the progs only want their handouts and fck everything else - just sayin......
Absolutely Love David Stockman. The Emporer has no clothes and David will stand up and say it. He will also point out all the wrinkles and cellulite on that fat ass as it waddles arournd looking worse than sh*t while the CNBC et al crew makes love to that lump of lard they are trying to pass off as our economy.
Let me say this as kindly as I can. The main lame stream media sucks big hairy donkey balls.
Im sick of these clownfish!! This is a guy with real moral authority and no one on the left or right can shine his shoes..much less ever lifted a finger to help..or raise the greatest issues of our time..NSA aint about terror its about profit..ways to peep trades..steal ideas..control markets..and keep us dumb with these punch n judy shows..
