Just came across a Guardian article from 301109 about Chelsea Clinton’s engagement – and found the following detached description of their lives:
Clinton, 29, and Mezvinsky were childhood friends in Washington, then attended Stanford together. Mezvinsky is himself from a political family – the son of two former Democratic Iowa congressman. His father, also Ed Mezvinsky, was released from federal prison last year after pleading guilty in 2002 to defrauding business associates, friends and family out of millions.
Mezvinsky, 31, is an investment banker with Goldman Sachs; Clinton works for a hedge fund. The couple live in New York.

thanks for they site, but i wasn’t able to open http://www.theyrule.com instead I found that its http://www.theyrule.net
please confirm if http://www.theyrule.net is the site you are referring to
Stewart makes too much money to rock the boat for real, and he has kids.
I’m not aware of any one person or group on the planet,
massing the kind of energy seen at the summer raves in the early 90′s. The people today need some big sound systems to be heard.
If they could throw huge covert parties, and all the details were kept classified until the moment of the event.
Why can there not be a local movement in New York and Washington to take the technology and use it for actions of protest ? Do they all work for the government or wall street ?
In San Francisco starting in 92′ bike riders (critical mass) would mass in the city at least every month to let people know how they felt.
I guess all the opposition lives outside the city. Redlined

@naomi:
The white pussy is really sweet, except she scratches all the furniture to bits and meows to be let our directly after being let in. She scared the birdy away, unfortunately, but seeing as they are both ‘wild creatures’ I saw fit not to intervene!
I suppose the cat will run away some time soon: where will that leave me?! I’m thinking of writing a book, actually, and leaving y’all to the news. It is so upsetting to me I forget to see nice things and feel gloomy or angry at the turn of the clock.
For this new world seems so strange to me. I’m sure that the young will adapt, but I will languish amongst my books and wonder.
It is a great cause but a feeble message. It is better to seduce than rape, but I suppose ‘they’ find time to constrain ‘their’ action. I believe anyway in attraction/repulsion and wonder what words are that we hold them so very dear.
Would we die for mere words?
The world most probably has not changed a bit in the cruelty that sifts into everyone’s plate. We try to moisten the shards with rhetoric, but the cuts bite the tongue. Perhaps silence is better?
Thankyou red bird, white cat….snoot.
Keeping track of who is funding the paid mouthpiece of an organization is critical. One of the major shifts in people’s thinking and they are finally getting it is no more Democratic/Republican, Liberal/conservative paradigm. It’s getting shattered. Now, we have to keep clear where the money is coming from.
Snoot, there is a website called theyrule.com which shows who is funding whom and on what board of directors they belong. Are you familiar with that website? Is there a better one?
Did the white cat catch that pretty red bird?
Somehow I can’t laugh. What’s the real unemployment rate in the USA again ? 17,3% ? What a waste. These banksters should be put in FEMA camps and forgotten there. These parasites are sucking the life out of this country.
“a culture in which people see their actions as disassociated from the rest of the economy and society — has to be shattered”
Hardly a seductive ploy, the man seems to deign agency upon a culture and not the people. Must be shattered. The dominative agent here is the term shatter: rather Kristallnacht. So Johnson, writing on behalf of George Soros’ interests, is defining capitalism where risks are allowed within a structure of reason as a form of psychopathy that needs to be shattered. And agency, individual choice, is no longer a pursuit as an individual right, but a group dynamic.
And Johnson is not planning on calling this rape of American free-enterprise into being with his mere words: he is only defining for us the agenda of the IMF/BIS banking interests.
It’s like a duck quacking: rather obtuse, but there are words underlying the mime.
Thanks, Johnson.
Senior fellow Robert Johnson is Director of Financial Reform at the Roosevelt Institute and a former managing director at Soros Fund Management.
Robert Johnson is a hypocrit.

I was completely misrepresented here. Shame on you Jon Stewart.
The rest of it though, was hilarious.
Liars tell the best stories.
Why do they interview these b—tards? Tar & feather them and bring them to trial. Never give a liar a chance to talk.

This SH$T is not FUNNY!
John Stewart plays the ‘court jesture’ in this oligarchial world where the serfs are told how ‘cute-n-funny’ being a serf is.
WE SHOULD BE MARCHING ON WASHINGTON DEMANDING THE RECEIVERSHIP AND BANKRUPTCY LIQUIDATION OF GOLDMAN SUCKS AND JP MORGAN!!!!
IMMEDIATELY!
ENOUGH JOKES…FOLKS!!!
I”m glad I’m out of work now. CAn’t pay my mortage. And am on food stamps. I’m so happy the banksters who took all the money thier buddys in washinton gave them are making even more money now and being able to buy even bigger mansions and yaughts. Good for them.
And the bonuses. Would the banksters leave if they didn’t get the bonsues(theft from the public) . Where would they go. What country would be stupid enough to let those criminals in.
Sometimes he rocks for the DHS:

Haters, Jon Stewart Rawks!
Draghi’s ven-chart from hell for banks:

thorny questions regarding appropriate design and oversight of our financial system
The puppets, like Jon Stewart, tell the Americans what to think according to the rules being written adhoc by the Financial Stability Board of the BIS/Draghi.
“The upshot is that a quick return to business as usual is highly unlikely. And also undesirable. Restoring growth and stability will require movement toward a new economic equilibrium, a more sustainable one; one based more on competing in the global economy, and less on spending and borrowing. Needless to say, establishing such a shift will not be without its challenges.
The broad parameters of what needs to be done seem reasonably well understood:
We need to deliver on meaningful reform of our financial system, taking into account the lessons from the recent past. This will entail better capital and liquidity buffers, more comprehensive and systemic oversight, more robust market structures, and better tools for defusing and unwinding systemic threats.
Our public finances need to be put back on track. We would be kidding ourselves if we believed that today’s large structural fiscal deficits are consistent with a continuing strong global leadership role.
And we need to strengthen our competitiveness in the global marketplace and rebuild our once vibrant tradable goods sector and our infrastructure.
Meeting these challenges will not be easy, and the process will necessarily take time. We need to navigate the transition from near-term support for our convalescing economy and markets into longer-term thrift and higher margins for safety in the financial sector. We face difficult choices regarding spending priorities and the means to pay for them, as well as thorny questions regarding appropriate design and oversight of our financial system.”

Sounds like IMF policy for Iceland, not about re-routing economic growth for American jobs. We’re screwed.
@lucky country
People aren’t angry because laughter comes before and then after the tears (of either anger or despair). Don’t worry though, they’ll get there soon enough.
“Third, the Basel Committee is working on establishing international standards for liquidity requirements. There are two parts to this. The first is a requirement for a short-term liquidity buffer of sufficient size so that an institution that was shut out of the market for several weeks would still have sufficient liquidity to continue its operations unimpaired. The second is a liquidity standard that limits the degree of permissible maturity transformation—that is, the amount of short-term borrowing allowed to be used in the funding of long-term illiquid assets. Under these standards, a firm’s holdings of illiquid long-term assets would need to be funded mainly by equity or long-term debt.3
There is also work underway on the problem of how to ensure that financial institutions have compensation structures that curb rather than encourage excessive risk taking. This issue of compensation is obviously a hugely potent one, as there is a fundamental unfairness in what has happened over the past few years. The actions taken by the Federal Reserve and others to stabilize the financial system had the effect of rescuing many of the same financial institutions that contributed to this crisis. Many of those financial institutions are now prospering, and many of their employees will be highly compensated. This situation is unfair on its face. But it is even more galling in an environment in which the unemployment rate is 10 percent and many people are struggling to make ends meet.”

Last paragraph sounds like Stewart. Unfortunately, the standards are being applied to favor capital flows for those behind the BIS/IMF regulatory structure. The common men will suffer more, not less.
This sounds draconian:
international requirements for liquidity
Stewart is just what the doctor ordered, humor with fuckin reality.
My rant for the day ….

They need to keep the propaganda in house as its vulnerable to external analysis lol
Jon Stewart is the product of a bias news media and I think would
People think he presents a news program and is often cited as a trusted source, but it is in-fact a comedy show. This is not a refection of his stature but a dismissal of main stream news media in the US (e.g. FOX, MSNBC etc…).
Often, it’s the news channels who fact check him, call him up on not interviewing his political guests properly and suggest he is bias toward democrats (something which is more to do with his popularity increasing during the bush administration).
His response is always that he is nothing more than a comedian (as apposed to a Bill Mayer type), and his show should not be compared to a news program, because it is not.
And on treating his guests softly (which I cannot forgive him for doing to Tony Bliar), I think it’s fair to say. few news anchors treat guests without first deciding their own political alliances first (e.g. Bill O, et al going soft on fellow republicans) Stewart treats nearly all of his guest with respect.
A good comparison I think is Matt Taibbi who is a very good writer, but he works for Rolling stone magazine but writes the best articles about the economy. Not the WSJ, or the NYtimes. go figure…
Why are people laughing???
They should be going fucken nuts and getting a lynch mob made up of millions of americans to hang the pricks responsible.
Blood needs to be spilt for the dollar to be worth anything again.
I get a message “sorry videos are not currently available in your country”. Am viewing in the UK

Jon Stewart video ‘unavailable in my country’. SOUND!
Jon Stewart only starts shouting after everyone else starts , never a/the leader
Good comedian though
Hic
He’s also a little pussy when it comes to calling a spade a spade
Hic
A few points need to be made
1. Jon Stewart is an American Imperialist, note that NZ / AU / CA humour on the finance has not been transmitted in the US.
2. A lot of his career is observing the obvious — and this does not make a career save in the US.
3. Today is a very slow news-day on the finance system meltdown circuit …
already seen it Hic
