Scum is ‘bad for America’ [UPDATED]

Posted on July 17, 2009 by stacyherbert| 91 Comments

Stacy Summary: I love how polite Krugman states, “Goldman Sachs are scum.” And had to put Taibbi’s link to Max’s France 24 appearance. His comments are funny.

Paul Krugman on Goldman Sachs: “What it does is bad for America”

Matt Taibbi: ‘Goldman Sachs are Scum’

Paulson warned Congress of breakdown of law and order and starving Americans if $700 billion wasn’t given to bankers

The Bush administration and Congress discussed the possibility of a breakdown in law and order and the logistics of feeding US citizens if commerce and banking collapsed as a result of last autumn’s financial panic, it was disclosed yesterday.

Making his first appearance on Capitol Hill since leaving office, the former Treasury secretary Hank Paulson said it was important at the time not to reveal the extent of officials’ concerns, for fear it would “terrify the American people and lead to an even bigger problem”.

Update:

Spammers now using Goldman Sachs name to spread sex video links! Here is a spam that was caught by my spam guard:

“It doesn’t matter a shit if the oil is not a fuel it took hundreds of millions of years to pool will take that long to refill.”

Well, exactly.

Oil could be created by ‘magic pixies’ – but if the damn pixies can’t make it fast enough to replenish reserves (that is, reserves with an acceptable EROEI) we’re still f*cked.

We’re not dredging tar-sands for the fun of it.

@zmoore .. ” peak oil ”

Actually, it’s difficult to know what to believe.

I have a PDF from the Uni Salzburg ( Sept. 2001 ) which deals with WW oil and what’s left.
They noted that the only “known” pure oil left in the world is in North Iraq ( what a coincidence ).

OTOH, if you read Lyndsey WIlliam’s book “The oil non crisis” ( which I did ) , he claims that there’s enough oil and gas in Alaska to keep the US running for the next 200 years ; and that the US Govt. has tried to keep this a secret etc.

Don’t know why your allergic to peak oil.
Fields I worked in were 95% oil 5% salt water now,
30 years later, they are 5% oil 95% water.
It doesn’t matter a shit if the oil is not a fossel fuel it took
hundreds of millions of years to pool will take that long to refill. I know, never trust an oil company, but the cheap stuff is gone.

@ Adam…………………..Goldman Sachs in Talks to Acquire Treasury Department

Is this for real? Excuse my ignorance if the article is supposed to be a joke (I’m not familiar with that site) and bearing in mind nothing would surprise me anymore. But, if it’s not a joke then it should be front page news. Here’s a few bits from the article:-

In what some on Wall Street are calling the biggest blockbuster deal in the history of the financial sector, Goldman Sachs confirmed today that it was in talks to acquire the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

…………. the merger between Goldman and the Treasury Department is “a good fit” because “they’re in the business of printing money and so are we.”

The Goldman spokesman said that the merger would create efficiencies for both entities: “We already have so many employees and so much money flowing back and forth, this would just streamline things.”

Mr. Hestron said the only challenge facing Goldman in completing the merger “is trying to figure out which parts of the Treasury Dept. we don’t already own.”

WTF?

May I share an observation, that there has been a noticable shift in the tone of media coverage of the banking system since the media mogul conference hosted by former CIA director George Tennet a week ago. It seems a scapegoat hase been chosen. Even though it’s a blamewothy one, its eventual slaughter may make us forget to deal with the rest as well.

Perhaps the CIA hires ex bankers story was actually supposed to be read ‘bankers attempt to infiltrate CIA’..

They always say that about Alex Jones too but I don’t agree. Don’t forget that not eveybody is like you, meaning that some people will fall asleep by a blatant truth brought in a (too) easy way like Janet in the interview above.

Secondly I have same as Max regarding very ourages matters, I say to myself, stay calm, stay calm, but when talking about these outrages matters I get very mad just on the spot which everybody should, acording to my point of view. But not everybody is like me.

Some people are better reached on the Max approach some are better reached on the Janet approach.

@ phil & Danny – re: Mike Ruppert.

Mike Ruppert’s CIA and Drugs gives more details about his past. This is an amazing presentation.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7009998324250484369&ei=Vl5gStyTBsKF-Qadm8gd&q=cia+ruppert

I’m put off by his belief in Malthusian over-population but ultimately central belief in peak oil nonsense. Its interesting how that came around. Ruppert publicly took John Deutsh to task over the issue of the CIA’s involvement in drug trafficking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t3pl5Wxgyg that probably cost Deutsch a big job in Washington.

Matt Simmons, an oil industry insider and the face of the funding force behind the peak oil hoax (which the oil industry has made out nicely on) has ties to John Deutsch; they served on several boards together. Simmons got in Rupert’s ear and now Ruppert is a firm believer in peak oil. Is this John Deutsh’s revenge?

I know most of the people on here, like Max and Stacey, subscribe to peak oil theory. If you ever get the chance to watch Ian R Crane’s the “Peak oil: Myth of Reality” you should. He goes into this in greater detail about Ruppert and Simmons detail. Like Simmons, Crane was a former oilman. http://www.ianrcrane.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=11

Peak Oil rests on the unchallenged idea that oil is a “fossil fuel.” If you were a Russian oilman you would laugh at this idea. But would the Russians know about oil? http://www.engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net/Geopolitics___Eurasia/Peak_Oil___Russia/peak_oil___russia.html

That said Mike Ruppert is genuine and brave. His life story is inspiring. He always challenged anyone to look into greater detail to what he says. I have and I don’t agree with him on these issues. His lecture opened my eyes when I stumbled upon it and because of that Mike Ruppert will always a hero of me.

I downloaded the whole 15 part video … nice addition to reading the book.

The book says that he was originally a “Cop” and had to leave after he tried to prevent a Govt. cover-up on drug smuggling. He then became a journalist and book author.
In the Acknowledgements at the beginning , Catherine Austin-Fitts was the first name mentioned in the “thankyou list” … which for me means 100% credibility.

Now, if I move to Asia, I’ll pay significantly less tax, will not have anywhere as much deferred compensation, and won’t be subjected to the fury of the angry mob every time details of my pay is made public.

nobody votes for goldman. goldman (pretending they’re actually independent of the govt.) doesn’t rape children to get confessions from their parents. they don’t give smart bombs as wedding presents. or lock up millions of people stateside for a little smokey-smokey.

As much as I detest Paulson/Goldman/etc. I’d much rather see Cheney and his Likudnik goons on trial in The Hague.

Goldman Sach along with the elite government of the USA and an entire conglomerate of organizations, most of which were put into place by the same money controlling entity, IS the Federal Reserve. The following seperations of power are a deliberatelly induced misdirection for the public of the world.
1. The US elite government and Federal Reserve
2. Goldman Sachs (and all the others) and the Federal Reserve
3, The IMF and the Federal Reserve
4. The WHO and the Federal Reserve
5. The WTO and the Federal Reserve
IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
These are the facts:
The elite US gov., Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs and all the others, IMF, WTO, WHO, ETC., ETC., ETC., ARE ALL WORKING IN COORDINATION BY THE SAME CONGLOMERATE STRIVING FOR SINGULAR LONG TERM GOAL OF ESTABLISHING AND BEING IN CONTROL OF A WORLD CURRENCY AND FUTURE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

THE SEPERATION OF ALL THE ABOVE POWERS IS MISDIRECTION….AND THE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS FACT IS WITHOUT QUESTION.

Yeah Eliot Spitzer – he can do with a break and I’m sure he’d love the opportunity to have one over these schmadas who politically assassinated him.

Legal expert = Jonathan Turley?! I am not sure what his specialty is, but I’ve heard him speak about a lot of different legal issues.

I second Stacy on Spitzer to discuss RICO.

@Stacy … “Eliot Spitzer”

Of course …. that’s the man !

@maxkeiser – Elliot Spitzer?
Phil | July 17, 2009 at 1:22 am |

@max keiser … ” legal expert ”

Just an idea … you’d obviously need a US lawyer, so might I suggest you check out the Ron Paul website community .. I’m sure that they will know someone who has a good handle on the material.

Max,

The only piece of video I can find so far. Unfortunately, the actual Paulson footage is scant, but he is twitching (watch his eyebrows):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cjStRWSqnk

Sounds to me like he’s admitting to using the power of the Fed as a weapon of intimidation.
max keiser | July 17, 2009 at 1:17 am |

I want to get a legal expert on my show next week to discuss the procedure for getting Hank Paulson before the court in the Hague for crimes against humanity.. does anyone have any ideas about who I should contact about this to come on the ON THE EDGE show to discuss this? Also, I’d like to get a legal expert on to talk about GS and others involved in racketeering and therefore eligible for RICO prosecution.

If only I were in a country that had an actual social safety net, instead of this crummy USA. I have a feeling things are going to get very ugly and dangerous here, mainly because my fellow Americans perpetually blame other poor people like themselves instead of the billionaires.
Phil | July 17, 2009 at 1:14 am |

@Mini US … thanks for the great Bloomberg link.

Paulson & the FED obviously in trouble … LOL !

Great lines :
## “You ought to come and visit us in Ohio and see the results of your handy-work”
## “Is that your best excuse?”

PS: my favorite Taibbi blog comment was:

“Word. I’m bullish on guillotines.”

Stacy – Are you collecting Goldman articles?

Paul Craig Roberts called Goldman a “bankster firm”:

http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts07162009.html

And Robert Reich wants the DOJ to break up Goldman & JP Morgan, and also put a SURTAX on their profits!

“The surtax would approximate the economic benefit to these firms of such government largesse, which I’d estimate to be at least 50 percent of their profits from here on.”

LOL.

@Max Keiser: “Goldman Sachs Are Scum”

@ZERO HEDGE

@Matt Taibbi ..your link above

What’s missing ? …. CNBC !
Will they remai QUIET ( when it doesn’t suit them ) as Denninger pointed out in his video yesterday?

I’m impressed that France24 aired Max’s interview.
Are they “under protection” of the French Govt. by any chance … or is “free speech” normal in France ?
Danny | July 17, 2009 at 1:01 am |

I sent max’s appearance on France 24 yesterday to about 15 of the regular sites I visit including Zero Hedge.

See how easy it is to may things viral if something passionately talks sense. People are hungry for the truth.

C’mon, lets get it up to 50,000 views on youtube! My laptop is my pitchfork!
Phil | July 17, 2009 at 12:58 am |

@Max&Stacy … again congrats on that blowout video yesterday … one of the best.

@Krugamn Article….

… “The next crisis could look something like the savings-and-loan mess of the 1980s, in which deregulated banks gambled with, or in some cases stole, taxpayers’ money — except that it would involve the financial industry as a whole.”…

Today, they don’t need to steal the taxpayer’s money, it’s handed to them on a silver plate.

BTW … Karl Denninger on YouTube …
