Santelli On Propaganda And Ostrich Economics
Everyone's favorite Chicago-ite, Rick Santelli, once again presents himself as the truth-teller-in-chief on the propaganda channel. This morning's dismal jobs data but utopian reporting of the improvement in the headline unemployment rate appears to have hit a nerve. Santelli takes on just how bad the employment picture really is, how mainstream media practices 'Ostrich Economics', and finally how nothing is deemed important to most politicians except who is to blame. One of Rick's best as perhaps CNBC has been looking at its ratings and realizes investors want the truth not the spin.

Santelli is the only commentator on CNBC worth watching!
Oh I don't know about that. Michele has a nice rack that I don't mind watching. Now... If we are talking about worth listening to , I agree with you Rick is the only one I can stomach.
I didn't junk you btw.
I should have said he is the only one worth watching with the volume on.
Slave economics 101.
How to become an export behemoth (TM Hugh Hendry): use slave labour.
http://www.thelocal.de/money/20120504-42353.html
East German political prisoners were not only making furniture for Ikea but also sewing bedclothes for West German companies such as Quelle and Neckermann, according to new claims in Friday's Handelsblatt newspaper.
Claims were made this week that Cuban political prisoners were also used to make Ikea products during the 1980s after a Swedish television programme aired the claims about East Germans.
What we need is ZERO HEDGE TV. Count me in for a few shares of ZHTV. (preferably pre-IPO)
You may not want that association to be traceable.
I'd rather be in a concentration camp than a coward living in a virtual prison camp.
The virtual prison camp may have more amenities, and even offer the illusion of some freedom, but it is not something to settle for and hope others are going to change it for you.
they'll work you to death. slavery is not voluntary.
Casting pearls before swine.
regarding using prison labor for corporate profit, it's not just by putatively communist governments, oh no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_prison
Indeed. Give me freedom or give me death, bitchez!
US does have slave economics.
They just hid the slaves in factories in China, Mexico, middle east, India, etc.
Globalism = take slavery to her colonies and away from the eyes of US citizens to maximize profit.
CNBC is typical "American beauty" manlike butch women who doesn't know what they are talking about

illegal immigrant == slave.
Uh, no. Illegal immigrant= illegal immigrant. As one who had to pay out much $$$ and time to have my wife here legally, I don't care too much for illegals nor those who excuse them. They are basically stealing from the rest of us who do it right.
Don't forget that Obama has removed the I-word. A courtacy towards his only remaining voter base - hispanic-only southerners and wall street.
would that it were true. though his ratings are dropping.
illegal immigrants are slaves which is something most people don't want to face. dems believe they are "helping" people and the repubs like the reduced costs of "domestic" help. It is a win-win for both parties which is why these slaves have not been freed.
If we really want to help these people why aren't we trying to transform their countries like we try to transform Iraq and Afganistan? Mexico and most of central america should be annexed which would be a real win-win for the people of these countries.
Where is the best place to find slave labor? China? India? Guatemala? Think again. It's the U.S. prison system. Many companies are moving their production right into the prisons. Some prisoners work for as low as .50 an hour.
The U.S. imprisons more of it citizens than any other country on a percent basis. Employing prisoners as slave labor is a real growth business.
When they open the FIMA camps and start rounding people up, employment is set to take off. Soon it will be to only place to get a job in the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Yep, buy CXW stock. Corrections corporation of America. Sick really!!
Or, just make an agreement with satan that results in payout in the event of the emergence of a nightmare totalitarian government. Call it a zero hedge.
Does it cover pre-existing conditions? If for example you live in the US
That's between you and satan. It's like asking whether forcing people's children and grandchildren to pay/work off the debt required to build new military bases is the same as quartering soldiers. It's all in the fine print.

Bingo! Oh, wait, it's only slave labor when it's in those countries. Here in the country of Homeland, it's rehabilitation.
Well, sure, but they're only doing things like making license plates. It's not like they're working on anything important or high tech.

WTF? Patriot missiles, jet fighters, helicopters? Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, General Dynamics?
...and somehow the low cost is ... ummm ... passed on to the taxpayer in the form of ... uhhhh ... lower defense spending?
Hey, look at it this way, at least when those slaves are emanc ... that is to say, when those prisoners are released after they've paid their debt to society, they will have new skills and can become gainfully employed in the defense industry. Good jobs, too. "Made in America" jobs.
http://www.alternet.org/story/150777/defense_contractors_using_prison_la...
Now hold on there. The owners of the last high-tech magnetics production plant in the U.S., making guidance components for missiles, received government permission to close the factory and outsource the work to prisons?
Sooooo ... then the best way for these rehabilitated prisoners to start working in the defense industry and use their new skills is to ... go back to prison?
They took our jobs!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP-l40WEGNo
Well, I guess we should be glad the factory wasn't sold to a Chinese state enterprise that moved all the machinery to China.
Except ... it was.
01:53: “Does it really matter whose fault it is?”
Um .. YEAH, IT DOES!!!!
Until you punish the criminals and stop the fraud, nobody with brains will have the confidence to participate in any purported solutions because you have not fixed the real problem – THE FRAUD AND THEFT.
I agree however, All of the original founders of the Federal Reserve are dead.
Dig 'em up and mutilate their corpses, publicly.
Wouldn't be any worse than their mockery of putting President Andrew Jackson on their $20 note.
Yep....what Rick calls Ostrich Econonomics, I call lying to the viewers.
I have no problems with the rant, but if he means elect Romney when he says send a message in November, who does he think that will benefit, pray tell?
I am not an Obama fan, and consider both parties to be owned by special interests, but Romney is downright scary in his devotion to looting America and off-shoring jobs for immense personal gain.....which is well dispersed in accounts around the globe. If you want more aristocracy, vote for an aristocrat.
Unfortunately, our choices are Gloomy verses Gloomier
11b40- "elect Romney in Nov who does he think that will benefit , pray tell?" Yes lets take a look at who that benefits shall we. If you re-elect Obama you will still get the same but undoubtalby worse economic conditons as well as full stealth nationalized healthcare using single payer via medicaid/medicare if the scotus votes down obamacare. there will be bigger gov't, expiration of the evil Bush tax cuts, all of them including the ones for the middle income, stealth carbon tax via the EPA, less energy independence while giving your money to the dictator nations who hate us by outsourcing US jobs because we now have the highest corporate income tax of any nation(35%). Romney will benefit all businesses, particularly small businesses that are 70% of the economy while you worry about such a small minority of 15-19% of corporations and then you have financials and so forth. The small business which this president has done his best to limit if not drive out of business will thrive and begin to hire more people because the ability to do business rather than to tax and regulate to death is what drives the economy. Who do you think will have any $$$ to spend if 70% of the economy is sidelined by taxes and regulations that stiffle any economic activity? Never hear people like you complain about Obama or Pelosi or Reid or Schummer or George Soros who rape the people of this country and get stinking rich while doing it. Don't believe me. Just go ask former Gov and Senator Jon "MFing" Corzine. There is a difference between the two parties. One wants captialism, and the others want command and control economy via state run capitalism which is nothing more than Marxism. Which one do you want sir hmmmmmm?
You sound like a Sean Hannity clone. What about "they hate us for our freedoms"? You left that one out.
That was a pretty good joke about Romney helping small business, though.
Does your reading go any deeper than bumper stickers?
Ron Paul is still alive and stealing delegates like there's no tomorrow.
Which, when you think about it .....
@Manthong
santelli isnt saying that the crooks shouldnt be arrested...he is saying the the current politcal group uses this as an excuse...so stop the fucking excuses and create solutions but when you elect a president that has never actually had a job and elect politicians that are only in office to fleece the tax payer than you have a no win situation.

Michele has a nice 36DD rack.
She's too butch for me. Even 36DD's don't mellow her out.
S(he)'s a MAN, baby!!! Is there a 'bag that face' app?
Looks a little too much like Ayn Rand.
wall st. women are all dykes, but they are still better than some snooki from New Jersey
Ayn Rand collected social security.
If it wasn't for wall st. bailout, Santelli and his trading buddies will back to pre1970s where traders often had second jobs at night shifts cleaning offices.
As I have been forced to participate in the SS ponzi, I too will hope to collect my "benefits". What's your point ? Most here think the whole economy is corrupt. Should we refuse to take a wage in order to meet your hypocracy standards? Slavery infers we are forced to labor for the benefit of others. Is it morally superior if we are forced to labor for those who don't work and are poor versus those who are rich?
I'd munch on the Chinese Dumpling!

michelle CSquared is a female joe kernan. The nano second you hear what she 'thinks' any pheremonic response to her exterior hotness vaporizes.
Yeah, but Chicago people talk funny.
Kudlow has a few good moments as well.
Kudlow is the head cheerleader for predatory capitalism. An ardent apologist for the banking sector who has been proven wrong time after time, ad nauseum.
Kudlow couldn't be more repulsive if he tried. Who are the clowns that like his shit?
Are you fucking serious?!? Kudlow?!? That shitbag is a posterboy for monopolies and banking shills. Kudlow has a hand in MSNBC making people want to puke. Send him to the fishes.
you said it better than I could.
You mean like 'green shoots' breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! ROTFLMAO..... your killing me man.
"Santelli is the only commentator on CNBC worth watching!"
Wrong.
Steve Sedgewick on SquawkBox Europe is ace and always on the money. You guys Stateside really miss out with it being on so early, but Cutmore and him provide a great 3 hours in the mornings. Record an episode and enjoy - its refreshingly entertaining and unlike their US counterparts (santelli aside) they aren't living in La La Land. Only downside is the female anchor they've brought in, Karen Tso. She has one of those whiny Aussie accents like chalk on a blackboard.
As to babes, there can be only one, and that is Julia Chatterly - though sadly as a reporter she isn't on much. Swop her in as anchor for Tso and you have an unbeatable combination.
How the f*ck that Goldman ass-kisser Kramer gets airtime is the 8th wonder of the world. Cnbc over the pond has zero credibility with that dipshit around.
It's 'Cramer', but who gives a fuck?
oh, I'd argue that Becky Quick's pillow talk interview with Daddy Warren are worth watching
He sure is and he isn't a dummy by a longshot. Most of those anchors know the truth but are told to think and say happy thoughts, or obfuscate.
I'm a MainStreeter. Often I read ZH with my eyes wideopen in wonder, punctuated with some "holy shit, you're kidding me" and "I knew that media story/op-ed story was bullshit".
I haven't watched CNBC (nor much of any financial porn) since 2007, with the exception of CNBC video outtakes that appear on ZH and a couple of others sites which don't destroy neurons. Nor do they tell me to have my milk and cookies and tuck me in at night with "Everything is fine and getting better, just close your eyes and go to sleep."
My personal favorite CNBC-moment was Charles Biderman's impromptu flip-out on the floor of the NYSE in Fall '09.. ie "This is impossible,... this market can't be going up like this... it's the gawddamned Fed....etc etc".
Santelli's famous-making rant was kinda' saddening. Was he right?,..yes. Was bailing out your neighbor for fucking himself with his mortgage fair... no. But that wasn't the Santelli I remembered in the trader's smock disagreeing with Liesboy's knee-pad conclusions in a common sense way, and calling outright "Bullshit" when appropriate.
Today he didn't need the flourishes of side commentary written on his board, but I will take him, the way remember him. And he was in crucial form today.
-The length and % of people unemployed is worse than any Recession. It is at Great Depression levels of destruction.
-The single most difficult statistical fact for a MainStreeter to find is that 80% of the improvement in the Unemployment headliner number is the result of millions of people being long-time frozen out of a job, and statistically permanently unemployed.
We MainStreeters aren't completely stupid, a number like that would stick in our head.
-The Workforce to Population Participation Rate being back to '81-'82. Would stick fairly easy, too.
Santelli is saying we're at the point that we need to know who the serious people are, to solve a SERIOUS problem with solutions. And gave the media a SERIOUS and deserved kick in the nuts.
That's the Santelli who can make a difference. One half-hour show to replace US broadcast evening news, and TPTB will have to change their Depends.
BTW, that Sorkin kid?... In history, he may become a legend for ass-boy stenography. Because handmaidens and poolboys to psychopaths told him something... it's true? Then he writes a book, and it's called journalism?
CNBC should keep him on. He's the Financial World's Poster Boy for showers in the Penn State locker room.
I ate ostrich...gamey.
Temporalist
I ate gamin ...chikeney.
Thanks coq.
Not at Fuddruckers.
You can change that to 'Fuckrudders' because I don't think anyone is steering the ship anymore. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not moving as we've been hit and are taking on water...where are the deck chairs?
I haven't seen a Fuckrudders in over a decade I thought they already capsized.
There's one near me....
It's been vacant for about 7 years. I wasn't aware that it was vacant for the first 5 or so of those 7, which makes sense in a psychic friends network sort of a way. "Psychic Friends Network goes bankrupt... how didn't they see it coming?"
all your ostrich are belong to us
What about ostrich eggs? I hear they're very similar to chicken eggs, only bigger.
"This morning's dismal jobs data but utopian reporting of the improvement in the headline unemployment rate appears to have hit a nerve."
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/299010/april-jobs-not-bad-you-think...
April Jobs: Not as Bad as You Think
The headline payroll numbers fell short of consensus expectations in April, rising 115,000 overall and 130,000 for the private sector. However, the Labor Department once again made large upward revisions to prior months. Including these revisions, nonfarm payrolls were up 168,000 and private payrolls were up 196,000, both beating consensus expectations.
Some analysts ignore these revisions, but we think that’s a big mistake. Normal monthly revisions to the original payroll report have now been positive for ten straight months and have averaged about 40,000 per month during this period. As a result, without revisions, analysts have a systematically and downwardly biased impression about the job market.
Meanwhile, some analysts may discount the drop in the unemployment rate to 8.1 percent, given that the drop was due to a decline in the labor force. However, in the past year, the unemployment rate has dropped 0.9 percentage points (from 9 percent in April 2011), while the labor force has grown 700,000. In other words, the trend of decline in the jobless rate in the past year is not due to fewer people looking for work.
Another piece of good news in today’s report is that the median duration of unemployment dropped to 19.4 weeks, the lowest level since 2009. Total hours worked increased 0.1 percent in April, and are up 2.1 percent from a year ago. Although cash wages were unchanged in April, they are up 1.8 percent in the past year. Combining hours and wages, total cash wages are up 4 percent from a year ago, which is still outpacing inflation.
The labor market is still far from where it was before the recession started. In the 20 years before this recession, the unemployment rate averaged 5.5 percent. With the right set of public policies, we see no reason why we can’t get there again. But the fact that we’re not there yet should not prevent us from recognizing the progress that we’re making.
lol...
...then crying.
Great spin, as the participation rate continues to crater. The labor force may have risen 700k over the last year; but considering the total population rose likely by about 3M over the same time frame, I'm not sure I see the reasons for celebration.
They should just stop playing games. If your not employeed its because your really not looking. Then the headline can say Unemplyment 0%.
Gully, did you hear "1981" anywhere in the segment?
Our last really bad recession was from '82-83. The only valid comparison from this point is 1929-1942. Foodstamps allow the public to think things are OK because of the lack of visual cues that soup lines provide.
The annual BLS reset has been wiping out over 1 million jobs per year under Obama. The monthly employment situation has been overstated by an average of about 100K per month since he took office.
It takes 200K monthly jobs to keep up with population growth, so 115K in April was clearly a fail.
If 130K private jobs is correct, it is the only positive. Public jobs need to run negative for a decade or more if the U.S. is to recover and get back below 100% debt/GDP.
I doubt Romney or anyone else will matter much until those who are failing are allowed to fail. This has been like falling into a well and implementing a plan to climb out before hitting bottom.
As bad as it was, The Great Depression model of foreclosure, bankruptcy, bank closings, and a general recognition of failure may be the best approach. Avoiding bubbles would be better, but human nature will probably always eliminate that more constructive approach.
how much do you cost?
Time for 'the truth', not the lies and BS spin anymore? Uh oh...
I hope we end up in the same FEMA camp.
We'll leave a light on for you....
A spotlight, directly in your eyes as we ask you, "why do you hate America?"

First person that comes out this fucking door gets a... gets a *lead ostrich salad*, you understand?
Ron Paul is a solution.... and the way the recent delegate counts are going it might be an interesting republican convention.
Post collapse... not pre-collapse. There is no solution within the context of our current monetary system.
The republicans are up to some dirty tricks in Nevada:

Right, Rick. If you suggest that voting for one of the front-running hucksters is a sufficient (or in any way helpful or innocuous) message, think again. About 3 weeks before thanksgiving demand that your pollsters take out that write-in sheet for your completion. If true "Patriots" do this, it will piss them off and bog down the system, but it will truly send the correct message.

“Life is better, comrades, life is gayer.” -- Stalin’s Five-Year-Plan boast when he ushered in the notorious era of purge and terror amidst starvation in the mid-1930s.
A “connected” economist’s comment on today’s miserable jobs report sums up a government that can no longer make the lies work: “We’ll just have to see the May and June figures to see if this is a trend.” And apparently the Obama Administration, with so few jobs added, doesn’t even have the nerve to call a press conference on another one-tenth drop in the unemployment rate.
Yet this guy says we just have to wait to see the trend. The trend is there’s the lowest participation percentage in the workforce since 1981. In short, the government’s portrayal of America’s economy is a complete fabrication; and people don’t buy it anymore.
The statisticians have become politicians. They make it up as they go along.
The word employment is meaningless as more and more empty store fronts appear on Main Street and the multinationals for the 11th year move 50,000 American jobs a month offshore; the word inflation is meaningless as costs of critical items and services that people must buy are going up so fast that households constantly are preparing for ever higher costs while the “official inflation rate goes down.”
Homelessness, equity-lessness, joblessness, futurelessness are Joe Sixpack’s contribution to gobblisation of world resources by the internationals.
Prior to glasnost in Russia, Pravda issued a constant stream of “how good it is” news, and no one above the age of six in Russia believed it. This is what is now happening in America. You would have to be a real dolt to believe the Consumer Confidence Report as it dizzingly rides up and down, up and down, ad nauseam. Can you imagine someone rushing out into the streets excitedly waving the Consumer Confidence Report yelling: “Consumer confidence is up! Consumer confidence is up!”?
"Can you imagine someone rushing out into the streets excitedly waving the Consumer Confidence Report yelling: “Consumer confidence is up! Consumer confidence is up!”?
Yes I can...Mr Robert Brusca.
Santelli is the only personality on CNBS who is not a shill. I'm not sure what he meant by "send a message". If he meant that we should vote for Ron Paul instead of either of the Bankster elite puppets that won't likely be possible unless... he just gave us the scoop that Dr. Paul is going independant! My apologies the market has moved not even 2% towards reality and I've gone all euphoric.
>>" CNBC has been looking at its ratings and realizes investors want the truth not the spin."<<
ROTFLMAO!!!
I have CNBS on my screens just for the entertainment!! (and to confirm how how the bullshit goes!!)
GAME OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick was pulling his punches...
Rick's the only journo on CNBC not with his head up his arse blowing propaganda bubbles ...refreshing
So the "SOLUTION" is to vote for another Wall Street sock puppet? Brilliant! This country is done, finished. Just don't come around my neck of the woods shooting, I pack fully auto. Regards.
Pre-election hyperventilating. Like Romney is viable option
Get your guns, gold/silver, rice and vote Ron Paul for president. Hold on tight cause this one is gonna get really bumpy.
Refreshing to see Santelli (with the OK from his bosses) are allowing some relevant supporting (facts) data to be included along with the usual brainwashing dribble.
I'd fight Carl Quintanilla.
Incredible, in 2 minutes flat he clarified the whole picture. Game. Set. Match.
Now to find someone with the balls to actually enact "solutions" as he says. >cricket sounds<
Once again its a question of presnting the numbers.
YES, the participation rate is lower and will contimue to trend lower
BUT the number of people working is going up, because the US population is growing so will tha GDP.
The participation rate was inflated like the Housing market was.
11b40- "elect Romney in Nov who does he think that will benefit , pray tell?" Yes lets take a look at who that benefits shall we. If you re-elect Obama you will still get the same but undoubtalby worse economic conditons as well as full stealth nationalized healthcare using single payer via medicaid/medicare if the scotus votes down obamacare. there will be bigger gov't, expiration of the evil Bush tax cuts, all of them including the ones for the middle income, stealth carbon tax via the EPA, less energy independence while giving your money to the dictator nations who hate us by outsourcing US jobs because we now have the highest corporate income tax of any nation(35%). Romney will benefit all businesses, particularly small businesses that are 70% of the economy while you worry about such a small minority of 15-19% of corporations and then you have financials and so forth. The small business which this president has done his best to limit if not drive out of business will thrive and begin to hire more people because the ability to do business rather than to tax and regulate to death is what drives the economy. Who do you think will have any $$$ to spend if 70% of the economy is sidelined by taxes and regulations that stiffle any economic activity?

Just go ask former Gov and Senator Jon "MFing" Corzine. There is a difference between the two parties. One wants captialism, and the others want command and control economy via state run capitalism which is nothing more than Marxism. Which one do you want sir hmmmmmm?
My love note to Santelli:
UR = 1 - (WPR/LFPR)
UR = unemployment rate, WPR = working population ratio (employment-to-population ratio), LFPR = labor force participation rate. UR can go down if WPR goes up; or WPR can stay flat, while LFPR drops. LFPR has been dropping slowly since 2000 and more quickly since 2009.
Santelli is one righteous dude -- it's amazing CNBC keeps him on the air.
And Cramer periodically does blurt out truth -- he recently and repeatedly referred to the "hedge fund-media complex" -- even though he touts individual stocks and sectors, he's clearly worried about the overall market going nowhere. He knows better than to just swallow the propaganda. After all, he too once worked at Golden Slacks :)

They realize the Repubs and hopefully, if there is a God, a 3rd party candidate, are going to start pounding the citizenry with the facts. Facts about the FED, the BLS, EURUSD, MF Global, etc. These networks need to get on board because Cramer and Liesman can only pump so much hopium up people's anuses before they explode.
