Yes, well, the politicos/press are helping the sovereigns to siphon off every bit of cream in the future for the operation of their new reserve system:
Yeah but she’s an ideologue. She’s not a pragmadist like Dedo. Quite a nice lady and a superb mind ! But a dirty ideologue and a dogmatic. She’s probably not real. Get real Janet.
“The FCIC, charged with determining what caused the worst U.S. economic slump since the Great Depression, is investigating the roles banks and regulators played in spurring or failing to prevent a crisis that led to more than $1.7 trillion in writedowns and credit losses at financial companies worldwide.
Testimony from Greenspan, Rubin and Prince shows the panel is shifting its focus to the Fed, where Greenspan served until 2006, and Citigroup, where Rubin became a senior adviser after serving in the Treasury post under President Bill Clinton. Citigroup got $45 billion in U.S. government bailout funds in 2008 after the collapse of the mortgage market froze credit.”
@Marc,.. I’ll never really understand the arrogance of folk who are unable to perceive, other than the dogma they’ve been fed!,..
But I digress,..
So Marcee boy,.would you do as you do, or as you did,.and if you did,.wood it matter?
BTW,..where’s your monkey : )
“Former top brass at Citi, including Chuck Prince and Robert Rubin, are expected to be put through the ringer by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which is treating Citi as a poster child for everything that went wrong during the mortgage meltdown and subsequent global financial collapse, according to the AP.
You see, Citi was on both sides of many of the ill-fated transactions as both a subprime mortgage lender and purchaser of mortgage-related derivative securities.”
I will have to report you to your master. You would make a fantastic Lloyd Blankfien licker. Did you send your résumé to Goldman Sachs Mister Pragmatist ? Prefer to be on a ship of fools that on the nazi Goldman Sachs plantation.
U-boat U-977 arrived at Port of Mar Del Plata of Argentina on August 17, 1945. Hitler could be on board.
U-boat, U-869 in service during the war, later found sunk in U.S. coast.
After WW II, at least five German U-boats reached Argentina with no less than 50 high ranked Third Reich officials on board. During the trip they sunk a US battle ship and the Brazilian cruiser Bahia with a death toll of more than 400, including US citizens. Both the US and the British Government have systematically covered up the operation. Why? Did they take Hitler to Patagonia?
Ubersse S„Žd, Overseas South in English, is the name of the operation that, according with this investigation, helped high Nazi officials to escape from the Soviet fist under the umbrella of the British Government and the US hawks.
“WWII finished on May 7th 1945 and the first submarine arrives in Argentina on July 10. The second one, in August 17″, says De Napoli. The Argentina investigator makes reference to the well-known landing of the German U-boats U-530 and U-977 that surrendered to the Argentina Navy in those days.

“To avoid these outcomes, political leaders and citizens need to regard their country’s natural resources as the nation’s endowment. These resources do not belong exclusively to the current government or generation, but to all citizens and generations. The current govern-
ment and generation are simply trustees. To use these resources for one’s own benefit, leaving future generations impoverished, is to steal their patrimony. Leaders inside and outside of government share a responsibility to promote this sense of stewardship in resource-rich
countries…
There is no issue of greater importance than ensuring the long-run prosperity and stability of resource-rich countries by developing ways to use these resources and the wealth they generate well. The approaches explored in this important study provide a framework that will enhance the likelihood of success in what remains a very difficult task.”

Sorry for changing subject but Wikileaks has done an incredible job to expose the truth and few US media outlets are showing the footage or they manipulate the footage to fit their agenda.

Here’s a PRAGMATIC solution against Goldman Sachs. Trust me. It works. It’s called free markets and competition. How’s that Dedo for an ideologueand a “facist” clown like me. Not bad hey ?

It’s called hedging your bets . If Hitler was alive, I am sure Soros would have a anti-Hitler and a pro-Hitler on his team. It’s the nature of the beast. Probably a pragmatist like Dedo ?

War on Terror news: al-Awlaki on US assassination list. Recall that the Bush admin could never come up with enough evidence to charge al-Awlaki with. Now, we’re claiming that he was involved with 9/11, Fort Hood, and the underwear bomber, and we’ve put a “dead or alive” target on his head.
@Dedo
You asked a stupid question. A question with an implied answer. And when you don’t like the answer you start accusing others of being ideologues. It’s an old trick Stop playing stupid. Your question was a false question. You wanted to hear YOUR answer you pseudo-pragmatist.
Hey Dedo ? Is there a US government or a democracy in the US ? Might as well abolish democracy, close the newpapers, close everything, and open the FEMA concentration camps. Total moral bankrupt reasoning. It’s hopeless. This country desserve to go to hell.
@Marc,…Why are you so intent on shoving your ideas about me, down my throat !
I’ve noticed you never ask many questions on this forum !
Is it because you know how everything should be according to Marc Authier ?
@Dedo
Celui qui le dit celui qui l’est. “Fear your government, love your country.” It’s a pragmantist that said that. A pragmatist that would be horrified by what is going on in the USA. One day even if you play dead and shut your mouth Dedo, you lovin government will kill you. How’s that for a forecast of your future. Your lovin government. They did it in Nazi Germany, they did in USSR and they will do it eventually in the US. Play dead. Wow ! What a fantastic strategy ! I am sure things will change that way.
@Stacy : I’ve developed algorithms, and I’ve worked at distance with the Math department at Weizmann Institute. You don’t need a supercomputer to decrypt, you need the algorithm and a key. There are encryption algorithms out there that just cannot be cracked, no matter how many years and how powerful the computer is. These algorithms are completely non-linear, and non-deterministic. Weizmann possesses this technology. I am sure there are others.
I’ve been digging into Julian Assange’s work. One of his projects is ‘surfraw’. It works on Posix systems. I use it. There is nothing in that work that would come close to the technology required to crack encryption algorithms.
I am very very suspicious of this….there are unknown individuals in the US Military wandering around with easily decrypted videos on flash drives whilst their commanders are refusing to release this information.
@Dedo
You take people for idiots. I asked what ideology ? Democracy ? Freedom ? Liberalism ? Nor being raped, plundered and robbed by gangsters from Wall Street ? Nor being killed by state killers because Obeyourmamamtalibanana doesn’t like my opinions or my comments ? You like playing stupid. An one day Dedo you will wake up with a tazer collar on the neck and a RDFI in the arse. You desserve it.
@Dedo
No need. You know have Obama can order the CIA to kill you, torture you and liquidate you. No questions asked. Read your “Patriot Act” and the soon to be introduced “Enemy Belligerent Act” you American wise guy. You pragmatism smell the nazi concentration camp like the people running the Washington whorehouse.
@GB,…”Now this scenario is become a little unrealistic”

You tell me what is realistic ? : )

The Next Man..re the argument about corruption in high places.
I was reminded of this Sean Connery b-movie. Which kind of has the moral that there’s always the Next Man who’ll do their bidding. So it goes, some can hold their position and do ‘their’ bidding but claim it isn’t their own. Perhaps offering this as an apology and promising they’ll try to effect change incrementally. I kind of think that sounds a bit bogus (just a bit?) and also think, fat chance.
A dilemma of working in or outside the system, if at all.
Well this little butterfly is going to flap their wings and cast a wasted vote.
Don’t vote, the government always get in!
Still I can charge windmills if I feel like it. Just kind of got some weird voodoo that makes me think if I am bothering, bloody hell something must be up. I’ve gone and landed in that other universe where a tectonic shift occurred. Best not break the charm by ignoring the ‘call’. Like a zombie voter chanting, ‘I must vote, I must vote’.
Anyway I think I’ll go and get a copy of Zardoz. Another Connery film which I think I once saw only the ending and thought ‘hmmm?’. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070948/
Probably not on DVD in which case I’ll look for a Rita Hayworth film if one is going cheap.
I have already gone and got a electoral register form (it’s decorated in black and yellow) so I’ve done enough for today!
@Dedo
Boy. With this type of mentality in the USA and the anglo-saxon world, we are all going straigth to hell indeed. Going directly to hell. “Faire le chien mort.” It’s a old expression in french. “Play dead. like a doggie” How exciting. Are we in Nazi Germany ? Seems so ? It’s true Dedo. Maybe the Homeland Gestapo is listening ? You never know. Play dead. The political idea of Nazi Germany now “à la mode” in the USA.
@EB – you neglect to point out that the “computer time” is, as per the first sentence of the article, actually “super computer time” . . . that sounds to me like they were looking for a super computer, ie, something more than a macbook pro, on which to decrypt the video; and re: “that’s arguably what spy agencies do – high tech investigative journalism” . . . doesn’t sound like a ‘Freudian slip’ to me; sounds like he’s offering an analogy of what he is doing with what spies do in trying to gather intel
“Somehow — it will not say how — WikiLeaks found the necessary computer time to decrypt a graphic video, released Monday, of a United States Army assault in Baghdad in 2007 that left 12 people dead, including two employees of the news agency Reuters. The video has been viewed more than two million times on YouTube, and has been replayed hundreds of times in television news reports….“That’s arguably what spy agencies do — high-tech investigative journalism,” Julian Assange, one of the site’s founders, said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s time that the media upgraded its capabilities along those lines…”
Ahem. Spy agencies? Is this a slip of the tongue? And ‘computer time’ is what is needed for decryption? And I thought that the algorithms were the important part, nothing to do with ‘computer time’. By the way, the most important encryption algorithms in the world come from Israel (Weizmann Institute).
And concluding the article with:
“…Judge White said at the time, “We live in an age when people can do some good things and people can do some terrible things without accountability necessarily in a court of law.”
Ahhhh…we need supranational laws to shut these people down…next on the globalist agenda.

To put it simply, how would you fit in, to make the best of the situation!
(I seem to have lost folk in the premise of my question)
@Dedo
Brainwashed ? Nope. Just damn tired and mad about what’s going on. Pragmatism is a formula and a invitation to accept mediocrity and corruption. Human nature is what it is. I ain’t no dumb idealist or ideologue. How many trillions were stolen again by banksters again ? Sorry. But this has nothing to do with pragmatism. Nothing.
@Marc,…Keep your hair on bud’ !,..Don’t take everything so personally
I’m just commenting, and studying the reactions.
Getting angry never solves problems,..you should know this! : )
You seem to have a good potential. Dedo doesn’t get it. We are not talking about idealism.
It’s about having things and people working. Hey Dedo go live in Detroit. The place is perfect for a pragmatist like you. Personnally I would send you to Haiti or Liberia. Hey how about Congo or a polluted hell hole in China ?
You are perfect Dedo for North Korea. A lot of pragmatists there. Hope your Goldman Sachs pragmatists rape and plunder you much more ?
Pragmatism is overrated. I a stupid comment. I never believed in paradise or purity. I expect corruptiion and even tolerate to a certain extent. But yes ther are limits when everything is going to hell. What’s the hell is wrong with your Dedo ? You want to live in Liberia.Good. Be my guess.
Hitler was a “pragmatist” Dedo. So was Stalin. It ended up with pogroms and holocausts, gulags and concentration camps. And you will end in the USA the same way as Nazi Germany or the USSR. Pragmatist my eye. You don’t get it you arrogant pragmatist wise guy. You don’t screw with the Devil and you are gonna get it Dedo with your stupid and insipid stupid formulas. Ideology has nothing to do with. It’s about killing you, exterminating you, raping you and stealing you. I there are still asholes in the name of pragmatism that accept that. Disgusting.
Pragmatism has nothing do with satanism. And that’s what you are dealing with. You are dealing with godamn nazis. What’s the fuck wrong with you ? Your courntry is bankrupt raped and plundered. Don’t give me that shit about pragmatism.
Pragmatic ? Bull. It doesn’t justify being a fuckin nazi like these people are presently. I never believe in paradise. I can even tolerate a little bit of corruption. But when a country get ransacked and plundered like Greece or the USA, It’s not “pragmatism”. It’s cretinism.

You are implying that we would do the same thing if we would had these jobs and that there is in sum nothing else to do because it is like that. Bull ! It’s a lot like the Nazi and the fascist think. There is not just one way of doing things. I don’t believe in that bull. A lot of German and Russian assholes thaught the same way when Hitler and Stalin was in power. It was in their little brain like that things were. Today Stalin and Hitler are both dead and Gernany is no more like that. Neither Russia. Your question really implies that there is nothing else you could do and let the whole system implode because it’s the way it is. Come on.

Thanks for sharing the two video links that were long, yet very interesting as they contained a lot of ‘down to earth’ good analysis.
The downstream outcomes of the “War on Drugs”, started by Nixon back in 1971 with a budget of a couple of million dollars that today stands at 20 Billion $s annually, is woeful in terms of wasted human and money resources.
Hi Bonn
I do agree that the authorities are incaserating the wrong guys, while the Bankers who stand to gain the most, by being complicit in laundering “drug $s”, get away scot free, laughing all the way to their bank vaults! These are the same guys that US tax payers have bailed out from the Global Financial Crisis and whose excessive greed has got worse since the government threw money at them and have not instituted any regulations to reign in their excesses and greed! Because of tax payers money used to bail them out, the US Banks are de facto nationalised. Hence, the US government should bring in regulations to recover the loan money over time for the tax payers.
Like prohibition and the ‘War on Terror’, the War on Drugs cannot be won. There needs to be a complete re-thinking on this very complex problem involving human behaviour which needs to be brought in line with other substance addiction and abuse associated with legal drugs such as alcohol and cigarettes.
The video on 911 conspiracy theories were just as interesting and raised more questions than it answered! However, there were many ligitimate questions raised that need to be answered rather than avoided or deflected by governmental authorities and institutions as seems to be the case in the US.
Keep on interacting with the group as proxy for your Dad. Please convey my Salaams to Buljit and Rani? and let them know that I have happy memories of our meeting in Bangalore in 2002.
VOA ? You mean Voice of Albania. VOA is a lot like Albania.
Canadian media is about the same as US media. Almost total Pentagon propaganda. Same thing in Europe. It stinks. They they all stink. Voice of Russia strangely enough gives a more complete picture. However. Can’t say that when it comes to covering Russia ? I have doubts. The same can be said for all countries today.
Could it be that the new “Voice of America” is Russia Today? We know VOA was a fact filled propaganda network converting hearts and minds behind the iron curtain. Now, just where is that iron curtain and are we going to get a back-flow.
Dedo: Isn’t that the purpose of debate. You create a tension between viewpoints through which viable solutions are created.
I am not sure if status quo has anything to do with the equation. In some respects the ‘status quo’ has become a human construct in the hands of the Washington Consensus and can be morphed anytime into any shape. The projection of a status quo is at the disposal of the controlling entity. Hence it is difficult for me to see myself not doing exactly the same as G-dman if I where them. That is not to say that under a different paradigm I would find the thought of behaving like G-dman uneconomical as a survival strategy. Context is everything. Your question was shallow, but I gave it full respect in my answer. There is nothing to figure.
I also think some Greek money is heading our way as we also have a large Greek population here in Australia and apparently the Greek banks are drying up on the savings front for some reason
Corin Redgrave, an actor, activist and member of the Redgrave theatrical dynasty, has died. He was 70.
Corin was brother to actresses Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave and son to matinee idol Michael Redgrave and his actress wife Rachel Kempson, as well as uncle to star Natasha Richardson, who died last year.
His wife, Kika Markham, said he died in a London hospital Tuesday, after falling ill at home on Sunday.
Corin Redgrave was known for his radical political views, including his stance against the Iraq War and his bid to get former prime minister Tony Blair impeached.
Gérémi Adam, the only person ever convicted in Canada of pirating films, has died one week after completing his jail sentence.
Adam’s lawyer, Richard Brouillard, said he was told his client might have overdosed on prescription medication last weekend. The Montreal man was being seen by a doctor for problems with anxiety, he said. Friends and family are awaiting a coroner’s report to confirm his cause of death.
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing high-quality, pirated copies of Hollywood film productions.
He had been caught twice over the years videotaping movies in Montreal cinemas, which he would then sell over the internet.
Dedo: If I were in the position of supreme untouchable power which entities such as G–dman Sachs find themselves in then I might do exactly the same thing which is to maintain that position.
I would hope that any intelligent civilisation would prevent such a monopolistic enterprise to exist and instead aim to distribute the wealth via a mechanism of free-trade and transparency. How naive eh!
@Marc,…you’re missing the point,..I’m asking,.IF you personally were in any one of the positions these folk are (with their prestige, power, security),.how would YOU do things different,..if you knew all that would be taken away if you did?,…: )
(From page 7 of the GS “letter”) While the previous quarters’ accruals attract
much attention, our full-year compensation and benefits to net
revenues ratio ultimately represents the firm’s compensation
expense. In 2009, that ratio was the lowest ever since we
became a public company — 35.8 percent.
and I thought Hedge Fund managers with their “20% of profit” fees were steep…
The part on page 7 of the report re:AIG is MIND-BLOWING…
They had $10Billion of exposure, but got $12.9 Billion in Bailout…
Which is followed by their version of the MBS Meltdown, and how they manage risk…
They admit their crooked behaviour,
but, by using subtle language, it comes across as being just another speculative deal…
RIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiight, Uncle Lloyd, your firm doesn’t manipulate the market with its over-bearing capital flows… noooooooo…
I HIGHLY recommend reading the letter for yourself…
it is better than reading a synopsis, since every set of eyes will indubitably see something different…

Things were different 50 years ago. Does it answer your question ? You could maybe do things like in the 50′s ? At the time CEO were paid 70 time the average US worker salary. Today it’s 900 ! and going to 1000 ! But for that you will have in the anglo-saxon world stop being fuckin brainless slaves. I hope USA/UK go bankrupt. It’s probably the only way to get change and a return to equilibrium. It’s that, or Nazi Germany. Your choice.
You are a genius ! You really know how to read in the Lloyd’s mind. It’s one fine racket indeed. 85 Board Street and 100 sqklm surrounding it will become an independent country called Golmanikistan Sackistan. And their mission will be engraved from now on in the new Saint-Lloyd churc.
“Rape and plunder in the of G.O.D. Guns Oil and Drugs.”
To think of it, the Catholic chuch killed less people than this organization from New-York, the world’s terrorist capital. Nobody has the info. Is Lloyd a pedophile like Barney Frank and the folks at Haliburton and Dyncorp ?

GS= scum of the earth. Children, Mothers and Fathers are turfed from homes, whilst GS still gave enormous bonuses to the detriment of the US taxpayers. It’s no wonder, as bloomberg reported, they armed themselves, they know they did wrong and are concerned for their safety now. All the damage control and twisted, spun words will never amount to anything, what’s done is done, and they’re the scum of humanity, just like the governments that used their people and propaganda to kill 1.3million Iraqis. It’s all CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, and what goes around will come around, I know it will.
It just dawned on me, Goldman is planning to become a new religion in the US, where they will be guaranteed safety from persecution, tax free status, and Blankfiend is going to be their new Prophet!

“The FCIC, charged with determining what caused the worst U.S. economic slump since the Great Depression, is investigating the roles banks and regulators played in spurring or failing to prevent a crisis that led to more than $1.7 trillion in writedowns and credit losses at financial companies worldwide.
Testimony from Greenspan, Rubin and Prince shows the panel is shifting its focus to the Fed, where Greenspan served until 2006, and Citigroup, where Rubin became a senior adviser after serving in the Treasury post under President Bill Clinton. Citigroup got $45 billion in U.S. government bailout funds in 2008 after the collapse of the mortgage market froze credit.”

You see, Citi was on both sides of many of the ill-fated transactions as both a subprime mortgage lender and purchaser of mortgage-related derivative securities.”

I call it Bonn’s English
U-boat U-977 arrived at Port of Mar Del Plata of Argentina on August 17, 1945. Hitler could be on board.
U-boat, U-869 in service during the war, later found sunk in U.S. coast.
After WW II, at least five German U-boats reached Argentina with no less than 50 high ranked Third Reich officials on board. During the trip they sunk a US battle ship and the Brazilian cruiser Bahia with a death toll of more than 400, including US citizens. Both the US and the British Government have systematically covered up the operation. Why? Did they take Hitler to Patagonia?
Ubersse S„Žd, Overseas South in English, is the name of the operation that, according with this investigation, helped high Nazi officials to escape from the Soviet fist under the umbrella of the British Government and the US hawks.
“WWII finished on May 7th 1945 and the first submarine arrives in Argentina on July 10. The second one, in August 17″, says De Napoli. The Argentina investigator makes reference to the well-known landing of the German U-boats U-530 and U-977 that surrendered to the Argentina Navy in those days.

“To avoid these outcomes, political leaders and citizens need to regard their country’s natural resources as the nation’s endowment. These resources do not belong exclusively to the current government or generation, but to all citizens and generations. The current govern-
ment and generation are simply trustees. To use these resources for one’s own benefit, leaving future generations impoverished, is to steal their patrimony. Leaders inside and outside of government share a responsibility to promote this sense of stewardship in resource-rich
countries…
There is no issue of greater importance than ensuring the long-run prosperity and stability of resource-rich countries by developing ways to use these resources and the wealth they generate well. The approaches explored in this important study provide a framework that will enhance the likelihood of success in what remains a very difficult task.”

@Stacy : I’ve developed algorithms, and I’ve worked at distance with the Math department at Weizmann Institute. You don’t need a supercomputer to decrypt, you need the algorithm and a key. There are encryption algorithms out there that just cannot be cracked, no matter how many years and how powerful the computer is. These algorithms are completely non-linear, and non-deterministic. Weizmann possesses this technology. I am sure there are others.
I’ve been digging into Julian Assange’s work. One of his projects is ‘surfraw’. It works on Posix systems. I use it. There is nothing in that work that would come close to the technology required to crack encryption algorithms.
I am very very suspicious of this….there are unknown individuals in the US Military wandering around with easily decrypted videos on flash drives whilst their commanders are refusing to release this information.
Doesn’t this make you a little bit suspicious?

The Next Man..re the argument about corruption in high places.
I was reminded of this Sean Connery b-movie. Which kind of has the moral that there’s always the Next Man who’ll do their bidding. So it goes, some can hold their position and do ‘their’ bidding but claim it isn’t their own. Perhaps offering this as an apology and promising they’ll try to effect change incrementally. I kind of think that sounds a bit bogus (just a bit?) and also think, fat chance.
A dilemma of working in or outside the system, if at all.

@EB – you neglect to point out that the “computer time” is, as per the first sentence of the article, actually “super computer time” . . . that sounds to me like they were looking for a super computer, ie, something more than a macbook pro, on which to decrypt the video; and re: “that’s arguably what spy agencies do – high tech investigative journalism” . . . doesn’t sound like a ‘Freudian slip’ to me; sounds like he’s offering an analogy of what he is doing with what spies do in trying to gather intel
Off topic, I know. Following the WiKiLeaks/Iraq video story…
NYTimes:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/world/07wikileaks.html
“Somehow — it will not say how — WikiLeaks found the necessary computer time to decrypt a graphic video, released Monday, of a United States Army assault in Baghdad in 2007 that left 12 people dead, including two employees of the news agency Reuters. The video has been viewed more than two million times on YouTube, and has been replayed hundreds of times in television news reports….“That’s arguably what spy agencies do — high-tech investigative journalism,” Julian Assange, one of the site’s founders, said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s time that the media upgraded its capabilities along those lines…”
Ahem. Spy agencies? Is this a slip of the tongue? And ‘computer time’ is what is needed for decryption? And I thought that the algorithms were the important part, nothing to do with ‘computer time’. By the way, the most important encryption algorithms in the world come from Israel (Weizmann Institute).
And concluding the article with:
“…Judge White said at the time, “We live in an age when people can do some good things and people can do some terrible things without accountability necessarily in a court of law.”
Ahhhh…we need supranational laws to shut these people down…next on the globalist agenda.
I do not trust WiKiLeaks. Not at all.

Pragmatism is overrated. I a stupid comment. I never believed in paradise or purity. I expect corruptiion and even tolerate to a certain extent. But yes ther are limits when everything is going to hell. What’s the hell is wrong with your Dedo ? You want to live in Liberia.Good. Be my guess.
@Marc,…I agree, they are somewhat deviant,..my point being,.what YOU gunna do about it! : )
BTW: What do you mean MY country,..it never has been, never will be.
You seem slightly brainwashed to me my friend,..
Hitler was a “pragmatist” Dedo. So was Stalin. It ended up with pogroms and holocausts, gulags and concentration camps. And you will end in the USA the same way as Nazi Germany or the USSR. Pragmatist my eye. You don’t get it you arrogant pragmatist wise guy. You don’t screw with the Devil and you are gonna get it Dedo with your stupid and insipid stupid formulas. Ideology has nothing to do with. It’s about killing you, exterminating you, raping you and stealing you. I there are still asholes in the name of pragmatism that accept that. Disgusting.
Calm Down MA

Pragmatism has nothing do with satanism. And that’s what you are dealing with. You are dealing with godamn nazis. What’s the fuck wrong with you ? Your courntry is bankrupt raped and plundered. Don’t give me that shit about pragmatism.
@Dedo
Pragmatic ? Bull. It doesn’t justify being a fuckin nazi like these people are presently. I never believe in paradise. I can even tolerate a little bit of corruption. But when a country get ransacked and plundered like Greece or the USA, It’s not “pragmatism”. It’s cretinism.

Per GS – “Although it is difficult to determine what the exact systemic implications would have been had AIG failed, it would have been extremely disruptive to the world’s already turbulent financial markets,”
Thank you, thank you, thank you Almighty GS for doing God’s work and taking billions of dollars of taxpayer money. The only way you could save us is to make AIG your own personal ATM. We truly are blessed.

You are implying that we would do the same thing if we would had these jobs and that there is in sum nothing else to do because it is like that. Bull ! It’s a lot like the Nazi and the fascist think. There is not just one way of doing things. I don’t believe in that bull. A lot of German and Russian assholes thaught the same way when Hitler and Stalin was in power. It was in their little brain like that things were. Today Stalin and Hitler are both dead and Gernany is no more like that. Neither Russia. Your question really implies that there is nothing else you could do and let the whole system implode because it’s the way it is. Come on.

Thanks for sharing the two video links that were long, yet very interesting as they contained a lot of ‘down to earth’ good analysis.
The downstream outcomes of the “War on Drugs”, started by Nixon back in 1971 with a budget of a couple of million dollars that today stands at 20 Billion $s annually, is woeful in terms of wasted human and money resources.
Hi Bonn
I do agree that the authorities are incaserating the wrong guys, while the Bankers who stand to gain the most, by being complicit in laundering “drug $s”, get away scot free, laughing all the way to their bank vaults! These are the same guys that US tax payers have bailed out from the Global Financial Crisis and whose excessive greed has got worse since the government threw money at them and have not instituted any regulations to reign in their excesses and greed! Because of tax payers money used to bail them out, the US Banks are de facto nationalised. Hence, the US government should bring in regulations to recover the loan money over time for the tax payers.
Like prohibition and the ‘War on Terror’, the War on Drugs cannot be won. There needs to be a complete re-thinking on this very complex problem involving human behaviour which needs to be brought in line with other substance addiction and abuse associated with legal drugs such as alcohol and cigarettes.
The video on 911 conspiracy theories were just as interesting and raised more questions than it answered! However, there were many ligitimate questions raised that need to be answered rather than avoided or deflected by governmental authorities and institutions as seems to be the case in the US.
Keep on interacting with the group as proxy for your Dad. Please convey my Salaams to Buljit and Rani? and let them know that I have happy memories of our meeting in Bangalore in 2002.
Take care buddy,
Peter.
VOA ? You mean Voice of Albania. VOA is a lot like Albania.
Canadian media is about the same as US media. Almost total Pentagon propaganda. Same thing in Europe. It stinks. They they all stink. Voice of Russia strangely enough gives a more complete picture. However. Can’t say that when it comes to covering Russia ? I have doubts. The same can be said for all countries today.
@Ptah,..Just casting seeds,…just seeds,..try not to get too deep! : )

Al Capone denies being in the mafia.
Could it be that the new “Voice of America” is Russia Today? We know VOA was a fact filled propaganda network converting hearts and minds behind the iron curtain. Now, just where is that iron curtain and are we going to get a back-flow.

Dedo: Isn’t that the purpose of debate. You create a tension between viewpoints through which viable solutions are created.
I am not sure if status quo has anything to do with the equation. In some respects the ‘status quo’ has become a human construct in the hands of the Washington Consensus and can be morphed anytime into any shape. The projection of a status quo is at the disposal of the controlling entity. Hence it is difficult for me to see myself not doing exactly the same as G-dman if I where them. That is not to say that under a different paradigm I would find the thought of behaving like G-dman uneconomical as a survival strategy. Context is everything. Your question was shallow, but I gave it full respect in my answer. There is nothing to figure.
Hey Max.
The voice of the savers is starting to be heard…
http://www.smh.com.au/business/winners-aplenty-from-rbas-rate-rises-20100407-rraf.html
At least in a country that has a savings rate.
I also think some Greek money is heading our way as we also have a large Greek population here in Australia and apparently the Greek banks are drying up on the savings front for some reason
@Ptah,..yep,..it’s human nature,.self preservation,..no different to everyone on this forum, wanting to keep the status quo,..go figure,..

Corin Redgrave, an actor, activist and member of the Redgrave theatrical dynasty, has died. He was 70.
Corin was brother to actresses Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave and son to matinee idol Michael Redgrave and his actress wife Rachel Kempson, as well as uncle to star Natasha Richardson, who died last year.
His wife, Kika Markham, said he died in a London hospital Tuesday, after falling ill at home on Sunday.
Corin Redgrave was known for his radical political views, including his stance against the Iraq War and his bid to get former prime minister Tony Blair impeached.

Gérémi Adam, the only person ever convicted in Canada of pirating films, has died one week after completing his jail sentence.
Adam’s lawyer, Richard Brouillard, said he was told his client might have overdosed on prescription medication last weekend. The Montreal man was being seen by a doctor for problems with anxiety, he said. Friends and family are awaiting a coroner’s report to confirm his cause of death.
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing high-quality, pirated copies of Hollywood film productions.
He had been caught twice over the years videotaping movies in Montreal cinemas, which he would then sell over the internet.

Dedo: If I were in the position of supreme untouchable power which entities such as G–dman Sachs find themselves in then I might do exactly the same thing which is to maintain that position.
I would hope that any intelligent civilisation would prevent such a monopolistic enterprise to exist and instead aim to distribute the wealth via a mechanism of free-trade and transparency. How naive eh!
@Marc,…you’re missing the point,..I’m asking,.IF you personally were in any one of the positions these folk are (with their prestige, power, security),.how would YOU do things different,..if you knew all that would be taken away if you did?,…: )
(From page 7 of the GS “letter”)

While the previous quarters’ accruals attract
much attention, our full-year compensation and benefits to net
revenues ratio ultimately represents the firm’s compensation
expense. In 2009, that ratio was the lowest ever since we
became a public company — 35.8 percent.
and I thought Hedge Fund managers with their “20% of profit” fees were steep…
The part on page 7 of the report re:AIG is MIND-BLOWING…
They had $10Billion of exposure, but got $12.9 Billion in Bailout…
Which is followed by their version of the MBS Meltdown, and how they manage risk…
They admit their crooked behaviour,
but, by using subtle language, it comes across as being just another speculative deal…
RIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiight, Uncle Lloyd, your firm doesn’t manipulate the market with its over-bearing capital flows… noooooooo…
I HIGHLY recommend reading the letter for yourself…
it is better than reading a synopsis, since every set of eyes will indubitably see something different…

Things were different 50 years ago. Does it answer your question ? You could maybe do things like in the 50′s ? At the time CEO were paid 70 time the average US worker salary. Today it’s 900 ! and going to 1000 ! But for that you will have in the anglo-saxon world stop being fuckin brainless slaves. I hope USA/UK go bankrupt. It’s probably the only way to get change and a return to equilibrium. It’s that, or Nazi Germany. Your choice.
@EB
You are a genius ! You really know how to read in the Lloyd’s mind. It’s one fine racket indeed. 85 Board Street and 100 sqklm surrounding it will become an independent country called Golmanikistan Sackistan. And their mission will be engraved from now on in the new Saint-Lloyd churc.
“Rape and plunder in the of G.O.D. Guns Oil and Drugs.”
To think of it, the Catholic chuch killed less people than this organization from New-York, the world’s terrorist capital. Nobody has the info. Is Lloyd a pedophile like Barney Frank and the folks at Haliburton and Dyncorp ?

GS= scum of the earth. Children, Mothers and Fathers are turfed from homes, whilst GS still gave enormous bonuses to the detriment of the US taxpayers. It’s no wonder, as bloomberg reported, they armed themselves, they know they did wrong and are concerned for their safety now. All the damage control and twisted, spun words will never amount to anything, what’s done is done, and they’re the scum of humanity, just like the governments that used their people and propaganda to kill 1.3million Iraqis. It’s all CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, and what goes around will come around, I know it will.
OMG!
Scientologists!
God’s Work!
It just dawned on me, Goldman is planning to become a new religion in the US, where they will be guaranteed safety from persecution, tax free status, and Blankfiend is going to be their new Prophet!
