And In The Category For Biggest Conspiracy Theory We Have....
Two and a half years after consistently and methodically exposing one conspiracy after another (and by the way, once it is proven to be a fact, it is no longer a conspiracy), we were stunned to find that the biggest conspiracy theory is none other than... Zero Hedge. "Zero Hedge, for example, is one that lots of hedge funds look at, lots of money managers look at, and the guy that runs it has their ear. Now I'm not saying that he is not doing his own proprietary work, but, people like to plant stories in there. [cue ominous silence]." TA DUN DUN.
Gee - one does learn something new every day.
And now, back to planting malicious rumors and vile, incorrect stories of ponzi schemes, broken markets, deranged vacuum tubes, plundered tungsten bars, BLS data manipulation, collapsing Nielsen ratings, hyperinflationary obsessive-compulsive printing habits, global central planner intervention and what not.
Also, to anyone who still doesn't get it, please send your dodecatuple secret "plant" stories to plant@zerohedge[.]com along with your payment made in physical gold Zimbabwean dollars, to be delivered to our paper street headquarters. We certainly would prefer it if the drop man is Bank of America's James Mahoney.

Nuance. Its NOT government who is saying this. Its the private Oligarchy à la CNBC... MSM shills. But government obviously is aligned behind it. That is the tragedy. The Oligarchy leads and the government follows down the pied piper route of financialised mayhem and false mirrors.
"Anthem" by Leonard Cohen
The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.
I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
Ring the bells that still can ring ...
You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
The more I think about it, the more trashing of ZH by MSM I think should take place. I'm Serious. You see, There is more information content when such event takes place. Think about it.
Thank God ) For JUNKS < Richard Branson ) Style...
I love MACD! Beats Rsi any day!
You can get some fast signals from MACD if you ignore that trigger line. Just change the color of the MACD itself when it changes direction. It is much smoother than the RSI and gives good buy signals, though not good sell signals.
I guess they're right...we should be reading the wisdom of the market guru's at Goldman Slacks, MS, UBS, et al. Or reading the insightful commentary from Dick Bove - His BAC recommendation is only second to his 'buy' on LEH in '08...
Jump Lloyd, jump!
I listen to CNBC every day so I can take advise of exactly the opposite of what they suggest.
We are the consumer, and they are doing a diservice to the public.
Like, Maria Bootanna De Roma, One day last week, the market was as stubborn as an Oxen stuck in a plough rut with two legs on dry land. We were -521 in the hole one half hours before the close bell, the market came back to -481 and she says "Well, were are well off the lows for the day!" What an idiot, You guy's have the market ticker even on your XM display if your not watching it on TV. She is a total sell out to even her own Country. Go back to checking hats and coats at Spargoes in down town lower Manhatten cause you suck at the real topics endangering our Country today. Or, don't forget just where you came from!
The other thing is they bash the hell out of PM's, because they are the NWO's worst enemy when they are in the hands of the educated un washed public, then they go on to explain why you should invest in Diamonds. Stupid show with only opinions and no real facts. It has entertainment value though.
Brian bit off more than he could chew or thought he would be bailed out 100 cents on the dollar. What do you do with riskey paper? you sell it to the stupidest guy in the room, we just have to figure out just who that guy was. Or, B of A is the ultimate IED, you choose, but I wouldn't think too long about it.
The Bad Guy.
CNBC is garbage, but for whatever fucking reason, financial masters of the uiverse watch the fecal matter.
I have a story to plant whenever you get a chance.
And some day ! ( I can be IN BRED Jed!>
In the fx market/ GBP!
I am posting this in response to some of the bashing on this thread about Engineers and Doctors not being intelligent.
So much is taken for granted by the financial elite and their brood (and yes this *may* mean some of you that are reading this but most likely not as I agree with many of the posters here in general). Some Finance wizard types might have no clue the enormous sacrifices made by engineers and doctors. Poor pay (relative to the work), long hours, crappy management, impossible deadlines, complex problem domains, and the one requirement your type doesn't get: a grasp on reality. Doctors are just paid better than engineers in general otherwise they have the same types of challenges. Generally we have to obtain very expensive degrees/certifications and learn our trade through time-consuming trial and error. Our personal investment in our trade can be enormous. Our responsibilites can be enormous. Some of us design the weapons our soliders use every day to keep our country strong. Others create the software that manages the fuel delivery in your automobile engine or guide the planes flying overhead, landing them safely when the Pilot falls asleep or forgets he is flying the plane. Some of us design the infrastructure everyone else takes for granted until it fails. Some of us find cures for diseases or diagnose the problem your little girl might be having with her hearing and provide relief. We aren't saints by any measure. But to bash the people that by in large provide tangible(-book) value to your lives is pretty low.
So while you financial wizards are busy running around causing bankruptcies, hostile takeovers, fighting over ideologies about Keynes vs. Austrian, complaining about various taxes you never pay, and stealing from grandmother's SS check through cuts in "entitlements" they paid into their entire working lives, there are a large number of professionals in the country working hard to make life better for others. Yes, this may sound foreign to some of you but we aren't worried about Libor, CDS, MBS, spot price of gold, CME margin hikes, ZIRP, QE(n), 10-year yields, tangible book value, etc. We are too busy working... you know.... MAKING STUFF.
But the financial types decided it wasn't good enough for us to make stuff and they wanted to profit big time. They decided the engineers and other professional types were just too expensive...and the help sometimes talked back and complained because they wanted a pension or retirement plan after working their entire lives. You know, little stuff like that. So they embarked on journey of regulatory capture, sneaky lobbying, bribery, and plain old bamboozlement to capture our government and they succeeded. So they invented this new buzz-word that sounded great "GLOBALISM" and sold us all on the idea that we would have better jobs, more work, better pay, etc.
See the truth is, to the financial wizards and corporate leaders, GLOBALISM was really a mechanism of extracting all of the value in our labor force, factories, and schools to the third world and then reaping enormous short-term profits. All along it was promised there would materialize this nirvana of better jobs and better lives for Americans. All we got were pink slips, lowered wages, longer hours, and financial bubble after bubble that wrecked our finances. Now the very same financial wizards are scolding the workers for not paying their mortgages and such, calling them deadbeats. How pathetic.
Furthermore, the damage is more severe than the elites realize. It won't be easy to "regenerate" because the resilient aspect of the society is gone. Engineers (and farmers) tend to be the most efficient members of a society at generating and allocating capital. This has been proven in several studies. Too bad they were hood-winked by the wizards and the captured banana government into believing those investments were safe. I guess it was the engineer/farmer's fault for not reading every bit of fine print and examining every detail first. Mind you that they are working long hours every day just to keep their corporate task-masters happy in transferring their valuable knowledge to India, China, and other far flung parts of the world. They don't have time for the level of due-dillegence required to sniff out a fraud. Instead these professionals trusted the financial elite to handle this (and paid HEFTY fees for the advice).
What do you think happens when the extraction process and transferral of our technology and labor ends (i.e. the Globalist Agenda)? Think, think really hard because it is all around you now, like the Matrix. With very little wealth left to steal from the middle class the elitist financial wizards need to start to feed on each other. It becomes a very nasty brawl and things like the Blodgett article epitomize this. Each insulting the other and all "talking their book" with righteous indignation while the rest of middle America continues to implode down a stainless-steel blender into the Middle-Kingdom.
I don't see any solutions being offered because thieves don't ever consider the consequences of their actions. They steal and let others pick up the pieces. The problem is this theft has been just a little too big and the natives are now waking up. Maybe all of the financial wizards and pundits can grab their gold and take a private jet away to Switzerland and live in peace and luxury. That must be the dream. Good luck financial wizards. Good luck hoarders of little bars of gold and worshippers of money. You are destroying the goose that laid the golden egg and then blaming the goose for it.
I would rather live a life by an honest days work and be poor financially then live a life of looking over my shoulder worrying a better thief will stab me dead. The market is that hall of mirrors and most of the fools are merely the mark. Everytime we press "buy" to commit an order something, somewhere, in our financial system steals from us.
So I will sign off with a big PISS-OFF. Your gold isn't going to be worth jack-shit if you don't have a society worth living in. Your priorities should be community first not gold and silver. Gold and Silver are Money, yes. Simple money for the people that can't be decietful and full of hidden clauses. I agree with the premise that our currency should be backed by gold. However, hoarding gold is not the answer to our problems. The problems start with what we are doing to one another. The rich and elite money wizards have created a hall of mirrors and are trying to keep us believing in their illusions.
That was a very thoughtful and eloquent post --- thank you.
I must still state, however, that nobody's profession, no matter how intensive or all-encompassing, releases them from their responsibilities from being informed and involved citizens --- responsibilities not only to their society, but to themselves (and their financial well-being) as well.
You are like me an engineer. Solutions to the possible are available but the impossible will take a little bit longer.
ask yourself the question ?
Bacon and eggs - ask yourself- who contributed and who was fully committed
Everything you said is true. Boy, are you in trouble now! Watch your backside!
Posted this a number of times on this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNUGCu1hx88
People and posters on this site here have been exploring solutions for a while. Buying gold is one way to prepare for the future. Land is another option.
I think what most people recognize here is that there is a shift coming. It is up to you how you prepare for it.
Thanks. Great video. I have been following Peak Oil and ramifications / predictions of outcomes for years. I find his view on this very interesting.
Abstruse Goose agrees with Stack.
Damn I'm in pressed!
Albiet I'm Impressed!
I think CNBS doth protest too much.
BAC is a house of mirrors , get over it.

@TD : Respect.
To you guys being hard on the MSM and CNBC for selling us all horseshit I ask, how much money would it take to get you on TV selling horseshit? Most of the folks here would sell out for the right price, and are smart enough to do a better job of it then the braying asses on TV. Just sayin.
PS How many of the Braying asses on TV do you think have physical silver and gold at home? I bet more than half.
The real question you should be asking is, How much are you willing to pay for your Freedom? I would never sell out my Country for anything like these wanna be CNBC "reporters", there just commentary and they only give you their opinion, not the facts.
Look, were going to Hell in a Hand cart and their the grease on the wheels. Jackson Hole will not reveal anything new unless B of A goes under or their is a new such "crisis" people will beg for QE3, mark my words.
You can not put a price on Freedom, but you can a slave. This is where they want to take you, do not have any disillusions to what their end game is. This will be their Hostle take over of America by an off shore entitiy.
I'm digressing, carry on...
The Bad Guy.
I bow before you, my dark Zerohedge overlords and await anarchic (and treasonous) orders!
If it wasn't for the fact that our government would just make the tax-payers foot the bill I would love to see Bank of Anus pucker up and shrivel away. The problem is what would come out afterwards wouldn't be pretty and would be more shit than we could handle. Why not have Trillions in losses when you can have Billions. Then again BofA is just a reflection of our government, our oligarchy, and our ideas: Bankrupt. Of course I must be a simpleton and not understand the complexities of high finance. You know, like I might not get how having millions of worthless homes and non-performing loans on my books as assets might mean I am not well enough capitalized. I don't know all the rules of tiers and capital ratios but I do know if your company is losing billions a quarter and you don't have infinite money you will....fail.
"Bank of Anus"
So funny ,almost spewed coffee thanks!
Mark Pittman would be proud
Haha, cry baby, cry...
They live in such a world of lies they honneslty think it's wrong to tell the truth.
see, tyler. you really effed up. if you had learned to play nice when you were a kid and gone along with the plan without regard to any personal ethos you could have been a contender. you could have been a player. you could have been a billionaire. you have been invited many times and you had the hubris to turn them down, to not join their secret club with the funny hand shake and peculiar rituals. no, you think you can be a gawddamned independent. you think you don't need the club. you think you can survive without the club. such juvenile naive arrogance. the club is omniscient. you cannot survive without the club. the club will crush your little head like a peanut.
there, now i bet you are shaking in your boots even after draining them and changing pants. get a food taster and fly coach.
...awe, such a fine display of Fast Money Fight Club bruising heel on one's own arse. lol

Easiest way to check is visit a public library, and attempt to access ZH through their systems. You might be surprised at the results.
ZH is blocked in a few Western countries that I know of. China, on the other hand...
[trans: if you have a trojan to promote, you don't block it from inquisitive public - you make it loud, crude, splashy and trashy, but more importantly, accessible. I'm looking at you A. Jones]
Great job ZH,Tyler
When they 'try' to discredit you on the mind control mechanism of the mass hypnotized,you know you are winning !
Lamestream media is dying,they will not go down without a
lot of crying first,Their ticket has been punched they are lying losers.
So sad to watch them try to claw their way back into the bottom of the barrel.The barrel has a large hole in it. They are the only ones that cannot see it.Probably totally "unexpected, a surprise...the same line they have been towing for decades.If they are looking for credibility theirs went down the barrel hole decades ago
Now if someone can just come up with the lid to finally cover the barrel up it would be great.....Oh wait ZH is doing it....good deal appreciate it.
Good day
You couldn't have a better 'on air' compliment, great advertisement for ZH !! ZH IS the place to be...BRAVO TYLER !!! the whole world reads ZH !!
Now Tyler(s),
You have to ask yourself, Will it be ass or crutch as you pass.
I'm thinking ass
ZeroHedge is well capitalised with BAC as collateral.
They don't refute the original suppositions. Again, attack the messenger.
The best way to bury lies is with the truth. But with the BAC discussion there is little discussion of this.
Just remember, universal vaccinations and hightech identity stamps for all.
What? Only 579 comments on this -- that's no where near the record -- why it's a conspiracy it is! Oh, wait...
The blind GE can't lead CNBC to see.
Financial blinders focus brain-washing words for TV
Lol.
Video doesn't work.

Yikes (dismantling the time machine found inside that old barn in the Number 4 immediately)!
Infamy is better than fame considering how cheaply the latter may be purchased these days.
Kudos, Messrs Durden.
I like how he says BOA's buyback exposure is only $25 to $50 billion. He only "knows" that because that's what BOA has said.
And that's the main point of contention here, is BOA's exposure $25B or $200B?
Right now we have to go by what BOA says and the stock market says.
Who knows who is right, my gut tells me it's the stock market.
Actually, once it's proven to be fact, it IS a conspiracy. It is no longer a theory.
