Don't laugh..
So it IS 2008 all over again!
Criminals at Goldman Sachs who sold SHITTY DEALS, JP Morgan who give out FOOD STAMPS to the people they stole from, BoA who ILLEGALLY FORECLOSED on home owners, etc will get big bonuses while whistleblowers will go to jail.
This is not new. When Jan Fleischhauer wrote his opinion in Der Spiegel, he received a letter from Brussels three days later. Maoist Barroso was not amused to read a critique of his person. Der Spiegel was warned.
So when do all of us down here in the peanut gallery get assigned a cot in one of FEMA's "Family Centers"? When is the roundup...I mean when do the invites get mailed out?
I call top bunk!
The way I understand how these things usually go down, we slaves will not fight our oppressors or even the jailers. We will fight each other for the right to the top bunk. It's all right on schedule.
Over my dead body will you get more than me....fellow slave. Besides, I happen to like the crumbs. Easier to chew and digest.
Ah, brother Cog....never. I'd never fight you. I love you, man.
Speaking of crumbs, does anyone know how the food is in the Family Centers? I was getting tired of mac-n-cheese-n-spam anway.
I hear they make a mean Pepper steak in Joliet
"Head em up! Move em out!"
On Christmas a PB&J... + a little knowledge and we can turn most anything into refreshing beverages.

==> I love you, man.

"Speaking of crumbs, does anyone know how the food is in the Family Centers? I was getting tired of mac-n-cheese-n-spam anway."
It's actually quite tasty... Called Soily Green or Soylent Green or something like that.
Yes, I'll have the spam, spam, spam, spam eggs and spam thank you.
Exactly. Three hots and a cot will fill those camps in no time. All we need is a li'l disaster in order to create the rationale.
not to mention the mandatory bank accounts.

WTF? Wasn't Katrina ~5 years ago?
Isn't this what the Republican/Democrat Family Feud is for, to make sure We The Serfs don't attack the right people?
I think getting as many people as possible on the dole is what will have the majority attack the wrong way.
Agreed my dear Rodent!

You made me laugh and then think. Bravo.
...and I call all your desserts.
Methane gas rises to top bunks.
a: your methane will be harvested, and
b: until further notice, piss filters down...
I'll take the bunk six feet under before I will fight for the top bunk at a FEMA camp. The top bunk is yours.
Quit stepping on my rack.
don't you understand how this game works?
there will be a major disaster.
dirty bomb? region wide internet based power grid sabotage? alien invasion?
people will be begging for a spot in the camps.
i just wonder how they plan on disguising the political affiliation part of the screening process.
Bad New Cdad! The invites were in the mail! Just so happened they made it to a Post office that was shut down!
How do they get "AMF" from Les Misérables?

that's too close to the funny bone...it hurts...as when you are an entreprenuer you get clouted by government run monopoly suppliers or by the tax authorities, for peanuts, doctored into Eiffel tower "you owe us"...
Thats why its called Opinion...Je ne sais pas parce que je suis un idiot?
what is the amf? this is all so stupid
Authorité des marchés financiers....
you know...AMF. They made small sailboats and sports equip in the 70's-80's. Crazy times...
I thought AMF was involved in Bowling
They are, but like many companies, they also manage a bond-rating agency on the side but their scoring methodology is said to be too confusing. For example, in terms of AMF ratings, AAA is akin to a 300 score.
Anyway, according to published reports, "due to a 'gutter ball' in Greece's latest frame, the AMF is recalculating their score this week."
Interesting...
Thank you all for remi ding me that I have not addressed the bowling angle yet...

Speaking of Murdoch... Fox News claimed Rick "crony capitalist" Perry won last night's debate. I guess enforcing vaccinations and farming out the work to your friends at Merck is a-ok, by Murdoch's standards.
but think of all those fresh young Dixie chicks ready willing and able with total abandon now that they are risk free. Liberty!
The whole point was to try to help daughters of dbag welfare parents not suffer from an avoidable disease. In this case, cervical cancer.
Parents could opt out if they wanted to.
Not really an exercise in tyranny.

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaccines/hpv/gardasil.html
It is a friggin vaccine. Do you think the live virus is preferable?
Bullshit. Merck had perry mandate the vaccinations even though he didn't have authority as governor to do this. Merck knew there was liability risk from bad reactions but as the vaccinations were mandated by the state any fallout would be covered by state liability funding, not merck's coffers. Perry doesn't give a fuck about little girls, he was making a cash deal at their expense.
Sorry, Rodent, that is "classic" tyranny!
I didn't realize "classic tyranny" had a "opt out" provision.
Was it widely understood that there was an opt out provision? Perry made vaccination a mandate without authority to do so, the opting out part comes from either 1) the knowledge that he wasn't authorized and challenging the bureaucracy, or 2) not sending your kids to public school as they didn't have their vaccinations.
Fox News has made their postion quite clear regarding the GOP candidate(s). In doing so, they are also making it quite clear that Fox News is no longer in the journalism business at all.

Let's stick together! In Euro-room with no exit
Uploaded by RussiaToday on Sep 13, 2011
Germany has called on eurozone members to stick together in an attempt to settle nerves over the potential Greek default. The Chancellor says that Greece must stay aboard the bloc to avoid causing a domino effect. Her statement came after fears of Greece declaring bankruptcy caused a sharp fall in global markets on Monday. It was triggered by reports that Germany was preparing for Greece to leave the eurozone. Athens has been struggling to bring its debt crisis under control despite stringent austerity measures. Financial journalist Demetri Kofinas says that there is no easy way out.
They're too late. They had multiple chances to take the initiative, and plan a controlled default, but chose "extend and pretend". What now, idiots?

Shades of Arthur Andersen: SEC Shredding DocumentsThe Senate Judiciary Committee is looking into allegations brought by SEC Enforcement Division attorney and whistleblower Darcy Flynn that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) illegally destroyed documents relating to preliminary investigations of, among others, Bernard Madoff, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, and Deutsche Bank -- literally thousands of files over the past twenty years.
No wonder we aren't seeing prosecutions of Wall Street wrongdoers who brought us the financial crisis. Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee is particularly concerned about this destruction of records at the SEC.
Unfortunately, the SEC also has a terrible track record with its revolving door. Enforcement Division attorneys, even Division Chiefs, frequently move directly to high paying jobs at companies that are the subject of investigations, including some of those listed above as having their preliminary investigations records destroyed.
The SEC also has a bad record of firing or retaliating against whistleblowers. In fact, the whistleblower here, Darcy Flynn, is represented by Gary Aguirre, a former SEC staff attorney who received a $755,000 settlement in June 2010 as a result of his lawsuit charging wrongful termination in 2005 when he was investigating a prominent hedge fund.
No surprise: The SEC has not been cooperative with either the Congressional investigation or requests for explanation from the National Archives and Records Administration. The SEC was supposed to keep records for 25 years -- time to see a pattern of possible illegal activity on the part of companies investigated. The SEC made its own policy to destroy records as soon as a preliminary investigation was closed.
I was reminded of the cartoon that surfaced during the Arthur Andersen records destruction case:
An Arthur Anderson partner says to his secretary, "Did you get my message to ship the Enron documents to the Feds'?" The secretary responds, "Oh no, I thought you said rip the Enron documents to shreds."
The SEC doesn't even appear to have that excuse.

Lynn de Rothschild Hosts Fundraiser for Huntsman

He's their choice for State Department.
That is a surprise, Hunstman reminds me of a pedophile being interrogated when he speaks, thought they could do better than him
Haven't seen a lot of pedophiles interrogated myself, mostly just hung from trees by their gonads, but what better insider than a Chinese speaking patsy whom happens to be Romney's cousin? No surprise to me.
I was thinking the same when I saw that debate [refering to the GOP Debate at the Reagan library] And I am not even an American citizen. I know it might not be very popular to say this, and I know that German candidates are not better or anything like that, but this Rick Perry scared the hell out of me. He seems to be an opportunist and a true showman. I might add that he is skilled as an actor. And such politicians always scare me. His lust for power. And I am predicting that if Perry will be the next president, we will see another American war.
The contrast to this is Ron Paul. You instinctively notice his decency and his honesty. He is really representing the American citizen. At least you have a choice. I envy you. When I am looking at the current politicians here - it is hopeless and I have no choice at all.
I would love to know how much speech time was given to Ron Paul in that debate. It seemed to be shorter than what the other candidates got.
There will be another war involving the US anyway, no matter who is elected, including Paul.

Now that is funny.
The french banks are obesssed by a pervasive feeling of insider trading and financial conspiracy in WS. They don't believe that the US market's main actors are not systematically, and in recurrent fashion, acting in tilted tabe conspiratorial mode. So "first amendment" is not their perception of the problem; its more predatory and illegal, as unfounded or slily media fed, rumour mongering to ensure a huge speculative run at their expense.
We are in the chicken and the egg situation. Is the speculative, predatory nature of a manipulated market the key factor in "dishonest" financial plays world wide by dominant power players (the US PDs and their HF fronts) or is it the real fragility of the said banks which is responsible for such market moves? Nobody who is a reader of the ZH blog can deny that both these two realities exist in the current market as ZH bloggers have so vividly highlighted time and again. When the PROVEN reality, as per the Zh perception, is that BOTH the said french banks are fragile due to their past actions AND that WS actions are totally manipulated and totally dishonest, as these US PDs are so in debt they are prepared to rape their own daughters to save their own skins, the ethical question is not clear. It is a choice between two LIES, the bank lie and the WS lie. So invoking the first amendment which defends "sincere" freedom of expression is not the real issue IMHO in this case.
Having said that, the Euro banking situation does not deserve any respect from the market. Does it deserve manipulation?
We are now at the heart of the problem. Is the inordinate financial power of these markets, in the context of thirty years of bubble economy exuberance, the true expression of capitalism? I don't think so. But thats just one opinion. We must not let the tree of current euro bank runs hide the reality of the forest of a mad financialised market.
Insider trading is way more prevalent and way less scrutinized (as is illegal short selling) in Germany then on WS. They should look next door before getting all bitchy at Lafayette's unholy love child.
Mad dogs are more like. It has been apparent for quite some time that certain individuals and many large corporations have reached a place where the power they wield rivals many states. Some of these entities feel free to wage financial war.
Now this is really getting to the bottom of the barrel. This is going to get very ugly. How can anyone sell their gold in this macabre scene.

BNP is simply giving voice to what financiers the world over believe. Namely that they and their interests are the only real national security concerns of their societies. Therefore anything that threatens them is a direct threat against society. Sociopathic sick fucks
BNP can call all the dogs it wants. Pure bluster. It is still shut out of crucial funding markets. Today's dramatic stock price reversal could be epic tape painting (it sure ain't short covering) or simple insider trading ahead of the announcement of a French government bailout.
