NeighborWorks’ faith in “the legal authorities” has not been borne out by the facts of this unfolding economic depression, and Americans can see right through the hypocrisy of it all: From the housing bubble to the neutered bankruptcy bill and down to the highway robbery of the bailout, the collusion of the government and the financial-services industry has stripped the population of everything from its equity and savings to its dignity and options. And it’s mad as hell about it, as it should be, given that what it is enduring is a perversion and ultimately erasure of authority.

“Don’t we have an obligation to tell physicians about this?” Franklin says he asked his manager, Phil Magistro. His boss tried to reassure him, Franklin says.

‘Total Disregard’

“‘Don’t worry about this stuff,’” he says Magistro told him. “‘It can never get back to us.’”

‘Buying Access’
Pfizer’s marketing program offered doctors up to $1,000 a day to allow a Pfizer salesperson to spend time with the physician and his patients, according to a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by John Kopchinski, who worked as a salesman at Pfizer from 1992 to 2003.
“By ‘pairing up’ with a physician, the sales representative was able to promote over a period of many hours, without the usual problems of gaining access to prescribing physicians,” Kopchinski says. “In essence, this amounted to Pfizer buying access to physicians.”

Thanks for the Hudson Video, he is the best as always. Tied with Bill Black.

Three Decades of Subsidized Risk

Mr. Forstmann’s point shouldn’t be taken lightly. Not by the press, nor by policy makers in Washington. But so far it has been, and the easy money is flowing like never before. Interest rates are close to zero; in effect the Federal Reserve is subsidizing the risk-taking and bond trading that has allowed Goldman Sachs to produce billions in profits and that infamous $16 billion bonus pool (analysts say it could grow to as high as $20 billion). The Treasury has lent banks money, guaranteed Wall Street’s debt and declared every firm to be a commercial bank, from Citigroup with close to $1 trillion in U.S. deposits, to Morgan Stanley with close to zero. They are all “too big to fail” and so free to trade as they please—on the taxpayer dime.

Let’s recount what we know to be facts:

* Lending has not increased since “QE” began, despite the alleged purpose for “QE” being to increase lending. In fact total bank credit is decreasing at a rate never before seen in the history of modern data collection. This is being reflected in consumer credit, business credit, all forms of credit – except for Federal Government debt.

* The Primary Dealers are asserting that they require Tier Capital Relief to be able to participate in the reverse repo operation.

* Yet in theory at least, the “new reserves” that were created, since they financed Treasury issue, which the primary dealers intermediate, should be sitting on their “credit balance” with The Fed. That is, either The Primary Dealers are lying (they require nothing) or they don’t have the reserves any more.

Surely because the money has not actually reached the pockets of ordinary citizens, but merely helped to prop up asset speculation and disguise the fact that corporate profit rates are tanking.

So much for the trickle down theory, then.

State sponsored wealth disparity creation on a major scale.
