  1. His bank divulged private information regardng the amounts that he was paying to this private club. This private club was also owned by an operative with known connections to the Mossad.

  2. Billions swindled on Wall Street but no one wants to make a case.

    Howevr the IRS goes after car wash for .04???

    Priorities? We really are f**ked as a country.

    PS – Spitzer may have been guilty of seeing a prostitute but I’ve always held the believe that it was his enemies that pursued him and wanted him gone with the assistance of the US government. The swiftness of the public prosecution was amazing.

  3. I shared this link on Facebook and a friend commented “Boring!”. That’s what your up against. Sheer indifference.

  4. Have you checked the video link? There seems to be something amiss with the replay.

    Here’s a funny one!

    California is selling its buildings on fee simple interest.

    They’re requesting a firm term of 20 year lease back to State of California.

    Does anybody wanna buy the State of California Department of Justice Building at 4949 Broadway, Sacramento?

    The other day Max was talking about Goldman buying the Acropolis.

    Now, Goldman Sachs can just buy the entire Department of Justice in California.

    What a joke this state is!

  6. Elliot Spitzer gets my vote for Sheriff of Global Financial Markets. At this point, he’s got nothing to lose, which is what makes him valuable and dangerous to the oligarchs.

  7. Dreamers! We little people are ever so truly SCREWED.

  8. Prior to nuclear weapons an empire needed to control its own essential services (agriculture/manufacturing) and have a supportive population.
    With a large nuclear arsenal you can bully others to supply your essentials; and disregard your own poulation. With this knowledge the elite have become corrupt and rotten to the core.
    You know it is not going to end well for the masses.

  9. Bend-over America….

    ….enjoy the width, the breadth,
    and the depth of the shaft….

    …silently.

  10. Everyone MUST watch this film to truly understand the world’s controlling ideologies.

    “The Soviet Story” is a story of an Allied power, which helped the Nazis to fight Jews and which slaughtered its own people on an industrial scale. Assisted by the West, this power triumphed on May 9th, 1945. Its crimes were made taboo, and the complete story of Europe’s most murderous regime has never been told. Until now…

  11. “Hope” can simply be regarded as a state of recognition that things may improve. My recognition of typos in my previous comment leads me to be a consumate Obamanoid. Hope can be a curse. Let us think twice before we hope it springs eturnil…

    Yes, excellent, “open source”, inexpensive and effective. Hmm, but this is the New American Centuty, somehow the words “inexpensive and effective” seem a bit archaic. How would the bankster profit from such an investigation. Or worse – limited hangout – a corrupt Justice Department publishes a filtered [or fake]collection of correspondence to an unsuspecting public not only absolving surviving players but giving the impression that the self-regulation of Wall Street banking actually works like a charm. We end up breather deeper sighs of relief thinking, “Wow, the new millenium ain’t so bad after all. Our money is actually quite safe, bloddy skirmishes between nations only last a half hour, and hey look, even the likes of regular joes such as Saakashvili have been divinely granted eternal life. Perhaps WE CAN live with ‘to big to fail’, things HAVE changed, and there IS hope!” Uffda…

  14. Months ago I warned about Ernst & Young’s being the auditors for Central Fund here on this site. I was poo pooed because it was taken as criticism rather than a warning. I wonder how the investor in Central Fund is feelin’ bout their “audited” gold and silver now.

    All manipulation is self manipulation. When a company’s business is it’s reputation, as it is for Ernst & Young, and they settle instead of fighting off allegations, you’re manipulating yourself if you choose to trust them.

    Sure all the claimed gold and silver might actually be in that CIBC vault under Calgary. But people don’t buy gold and silver to invest in a maybe.

  15. Marc Authier

    The best form of enforcment is to boycott US financial markets. Financially strangle them by selling ALL US treasurie bonds and all your shares. Cut the oxygen to these bastards. Don’t believe in fuckin justice, especially the US justice. Fuckin US banana republic. Nothing has changed and nothing will change. Too much slaves in the USA. Spitzer said it clearly. “Lack of evidence.” Quite clear. Total criminals.

  16. Bravo.. Wrote the ex-guv’s website … with words of encouragement. Please note, the term enforcement has never been used. No, I stand corrected, I actually heard it used on CNBC?? But we all know the $$$$’s went to money heaven with the gnomes and elves that hide the computers on Wall Street. The Pin Striped Bandits need to be dealt with soon. Before they can hide or destroy anymore evidence. Let’s bring home a couple of Divisions from overseas, run them thru FBI Quantico and have them kicking in doors on Wall Street..

  17. easily, the most important thing about this video is that Eliot uses the term ‘open source investigation’

  18. Common Sense

    The Political Assassination of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMo7T9t0Gzk&feature=related

    Its simple.

    He had the goods on Bush administration collusion with
    predatory lenders and was preparing a case that would
    have tied the administration directly to wide spread
    fraud and criminality in the lending business.

  19. Marc Authier

    You have to see the New-York FED fot what it is ; a gutter filled with rats and smily stuff that feeds on shit. Always the same name Ratg Man name comes up: Timmy Geithner. The name of that fuckin criminal always pops up each time that there is major scandal. Like I said the other day. It’s much easier to steal a bank when you are a central banker. If you want to steal a bank own a central bank and be a New-Yorl banker.

  20. Marc Authier

    @Stacy

    Here was the probable plan. Assasinate by the CIA or the Mossad the Prime Minister of Georgia, which is quite a shame even for CIA/Mossas/Nato gang bang of robbers, and put the blame on Russia to poison the situation and destabilize the rapprochement berween Tbilissi, but also between Kiev. Who’s the bad guy today ? USA ! Numero Uno now the Evil Empire.

  21. wow, surprise , surprise, the feds were in on the swindle as well. i’m shocked. Har, har.

  22. Wow the NY FED knew…so Greenspan knew…What do they have on Mr. Greenspan and Bernanke.

  23. This has some photo essays on drones, and one on the German digital divide:

    http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-52514-12.html

    I suppose this does relate as US finance and military policy have become more and more fuzzy over time…

  24. @California Doctor

    The general sentiment of my previous comment is oddly akin to yours – “ink in the water for the squids called JPMC/Dimon, Citi/Pandit”.

    And hey, howabout you start a referendum to have California charter a state bank, like North Dakota’s. If I lived in California, I’d be the first to pull my millions out of JPMC and Citi and deposit the wad into the California State Bank. Two birds with one stone…

  25. Don’t know how accurate this is (perhaps Max can comment):

    MAJOR UPDATE, 12TH MARCH 2010:

    OBAMA, GEITHNER AND THE D.C MEETING ON SECURITISATION
    As elaborated below, securitisation in the United States is illegal and contrary to public policy.

    All securitised contracts are void not least because they were created to facilitate one or more criminal acts, as explained in this presentation. By definition and US law, all contracts created to accommodate an illegal act are void.

    So, what is happening in Washington, DC, ‘as we speak’? Why, a high-level meeting has been taking place to examine how SECURITISATION of FRNs can be used to dig the Obama Administration out of the void it has created by its bovine criminality and stupidity.

    The prime movers of this demented, ILLEGAL activity are President Obama and Timothy Geithner, US Treasury Secretary, backed by other purblind officials such as Larry Summers. No doubt the careful timing of the publication of our exposure of securitisation here as completely illegal and contrary to the Rule of Law, will have given the underlings of these perpetrators some concern. Obama’s World Court-granted immunity from prosecution does not extend to domestic felonies.

    @John Robb -
    Your statements regarding Greece are ironic.

    California is in a more precarious position than Greece.

    California is readying to release thousands of criminals from the state jails due to overcrowding and the lack of political leadership to build new jails and expand capacity.

    Then, you have the water districts failing and contaminated water getting to the populace.

    Then, you have the insurers leaving the citizens high and dry and people with medical problems dying.

    The villany and scum contaminating the halls of government in our nation must be sterilized.

  27. California Doctor

    To all those morons kissing E.Spitzer’s feet, you are joining the whores who were paid to do the same thing, but you are doing it for free.

    This whole Lehman story is a joke.

    Lehman is already dead.

    The other institutions keep playing up the Lehman and Dick Fuld in order to provide ink in the water for the squids called JPMC/Dimon, Citi/Pandit, WF/Stumpf, and Goldman Sachs/Blankfein.

    Instead of chatting about Lehman, they should be holding the other financial terrorists for crimes against humanity.

  31. Lehman, Madoff, AIG is only an accident, a mishap. The whole truth about Wall Street, American society and their leading jewish rulers is much more horrible.

    I stumbled across Le Fric Show from 05 hidden in a dark corner of the internet, WTF

    Germany is considering the possibility of euro zone countries using their central banks’ gold reserves to back a European Monetary Fund, German magazine Focus reported on Saturday.

  35. So, as shady as they seem, the repo is a legal instrument. My impression is that Lehman’s use of repos was fraudulent despite having listed them as sales, as Lehman engaged deception to hide toxic asset and falsely prop up its rating. Certainly the extent of listing them as sales crossed the line into illegally fraudulent, but even without having listed the sales, wouldn’t the behavior have perhaps been worthy of punitive action [via SEC or somesuch]? My question is leading away from Lehman actually. Dylan and Eliot mentioned Geithner and Bernanke which is fair enough, but I was half expecting Dylan to ask Eliot if JPMorgan and CitiBank were somehow morally complicit. I underastand how JPMorgan and Citibank did nothing illegal [in what was repoted by Dylan], but let me expand the picture. Max refers to Lehman as a suicide banker [or perhaps the victim of suicide banking]. Some suicide bankers die for the team(the cause), allowing other suicide bankers to remain alive as ultimate threats. Fuld is the face of Lehman as suicide banker. Certainly if he can be shown to have known that his behavior would eventually take down Lehman he should be locked up for a good many years, but even if he was simply being deceptive it will make no difference in my further points. For the sake of argument, let’s say Fuld is a moron. JPMorgan and CitiBank saw Fuld as a chump and approached him with propositions to help Lehman improve its rating [let alone regarding how Lehman acquired its toxic assets]. Call it in the spirit of predatory lending or loan sharking of sorts. Morgan and Citi recall their cash, Lehman spirals down, and all the banksters get to study the ensuing chaos and effects to the general environment of Lehman’s fall, take advantage of the tragedy, manipulate the fear, etc. Call it a controlled demolition, rogue airplanes, an initial experiment of mass instuction in a new era of toxic banking, or whatever you like. Fast forward to Greece. Is Greece not unlike Lehman Bros, attempting to hide its toxic assets with shady financial instruments from commercial Wall Street banks? Was it not attempting to improve its rating? Are some of its politicians and finance ministers not unlike Fuld, either chumps or perhaps even complicit with the global derivatives pushers? Am I not using the word “not” appropriately or not consistently? Well, here in Keiserland we seem to refer to Goldman Sachs as terrorists. If my comparison of Greece to Lehman Bros is not entirely moronic, then I shall eagerly await and take notice of any report of JPMorgan and CitiBank having terrorist egg on their respective bankster faces as news of the Lehman story unravels…

There has to be away to organize or allign ourselves with the Icelandic folks. Just like the banksters, mafia corporations and corrupt governments stand together the small folks need to stand together and fight back. If there is anything I can do please let me know…I can’t afford to buy gold unfortunately. Any suggestions?

    And who is going to put in prison the FED ? Arrest Bernanké and Geithner too. Naturally it won’t happen in this fucked up empire filled with corrupt rats in power.
    END THE FED.

    Boy Ron Paul is 10000000 % right about the FED. ARREST THE FED. Now that would be revolutionnary. Can you imagine the scene. You surround the FED building and then with a megaphone you shout : “The building is surrounded. Please come out with your hands up,” Will the police read Geithner and Bernank. the rights when they arrest them ?

    @sam … Spitzer “was” the Eliot Ness of WS

    This stuff has been going on for years, and will continue to go on until people actually start going to prison.
