Goldman Sachs are still scum.
http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/
Paul Farrell gets his rant on, raging at the $400 million lobbyist effort Wall Street has put forth to kill financial reforms.
He writes that this “signals a resurgence of unregulated free market Reaganomics capitalism, the conservative ideology that killed Glass-Steagall in 1999 creating too-big-to-fail banks, setting the stage for the 2008 meltdown.”
But its much worse than that. What Wall Street wants is to water down reform so it can, according to Farrell, pursue these 8 goals:
(1) evade securities laws
(2) avoid taxes
(3) minimize capital requirements
(4) increase leverage
(5) hide speculative risks
(6) maximize short-term profits
(7) avoid stockholder disclosures, and
(8) manipulate regulators.
I wish I could say I disagree — but I don’t. Unless we get substantial reform, nothing will change. Why?
“Wall Street needs to continue running the same scam on taxpayers in order to get their mega-bonuses. They have lost their moral compass, sold their soul to the devil, lack a conscience, have no interest in the public.”
Well said . . .
@ Max and Stacey
You’re right, we need to get ships between the banks and the money. Maybe we can start organizing civil disobedience along these lines. Perhaps we can park our cars in front of the bankers cars and on their streets so they can’t make it to work.
Well, we saw this coming http://bit.ly/ag8LyW. I guess if IMF wants to be a global central bank, it will need a global taxman to fund it
Goldman Sachs Is Loved by Those Who Really Count: Matthew Lynn
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-04-19/goldman-sachs-is-loved-by-those-who-really-count-matthew-lynn.html
Smart, ambitious graduates are still sending in their CVs as enthusiastically as ever. The big corporations still want the New York-based firm on their side. And it posted record earnings in 2009 while its stock price doubled.
There is a lesson in that for Wall Street investment banks. While spending millions on an army of public-relations officers, reputation consultants and sponsorship managers, financial institutions shouldn’t forget that people prefer their bankers to be greedy and mean. Being known for having sharp teeth, along with a nasty bark, won’t do you any harm. None of the scandals has hurt its business. This latest one won’t be any different.

I would assume that any and all non-US film and TV production derivatives would not be allowed to exist — so as to the American Imperialist film & TV bubble in a fish-bowl.
If non-US film and TV production derivatives are allowed to exist, that means the US as a matter of global policy seeks the genocidal extermination of all non-US film and TV production.
I am assuming this would be the case, as the US market excludes about 99% of the content in film and tv ever produced by Canada, Australia and NZ.

How that music used to make me smile.

And, maybe, they?d be happy for a while.wit tear CDO’s and OCD’s
But february made me shiver
With every paper I?d deliver.

I can?t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride, (Leahman Bro’s)
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died (Musical Chairs ) Fanniei Freddy an otters were left standin witout a Chair
So bye-bye, miss american pie.

But the levee was dry.

`cause I saw you dancin? in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.

There is no such thing as a “good” parasite for the victim infected. You were talking about symbiosis. Banks used to live in symbiosis. Today they have mutated in deadly parasites. You have to eliminate the banks that are now parasites. Fairly clear.

No. It doesn’t kill the “victim”. Usually its the doctor or the bacteria if infected. You have a strange definition of parasite. I never knew that sexual reproduction was parasitic ?
Russian scientists further claim in these reports that the United States mass vaccination of their population this past year for the supposed H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic was instead a “very clumsy attempt” to stop the spreading of this mysterious lung disease by injecting into these peoples a DNA “fix” to this genetically modified corn, and which by all the evidence available, they state, appears to have failed.
That is a rather interesting theory which I have not heard before,

GSI, chaired by Irish businessman Peter Sutherland, is the 14th primary bond dealer to be recognised as the NTMA aims to borrow €20 billion this year.”

Socialist party members asy “The bank has proved to have no qualms stepping over dead bodies, it would not hesitate to speculate on the dutch government going bankrupt, there are plenty of reasons to no longer support then as their customer.”
Liberals “If the facts are correct there is every reason to reconsider our relation with GS. We will ask our finance minster to get up to speed with the SEC and FSA.”
Our finance minister however wants to wait for the results of the SEC investigation.

This is from a report by Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the statements from the auditing firm Deloitte:
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

You should stick with your recent interest in show trials, and the original observation of the reverse, show acquittals.
Janet Tavakoli’s observations about the ProPublica case, and your own background research about the pedigree of their financial sponsors. …
… now consider an aspect of the ABACUS case against Goldman Sachs:
It’s always worth keeping an eye on the trade paper’s blog:
http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010/04/21/208661/in-defence-of-goldman-sachs-2/
An acquittal would make everything Goldman Sachs (and Paulson) did okay, n’est pas? And in the meantime, it’s a great platform for populist grand-standing.
The British learned the art of perpetual inquiries and show-acquittals to exonorate their forces for any and all actions in Ireland (Stalker-Stevens-Orde Inquiries etc, repeat ad infinitum)

Wow, the usa goverment(alias wall street banksters) is going over board on trying to gloss over all the crimes they’ve commited of late.
I”m sure they got a memo from a high up that said” just do or say anything that looks good to appease the stupid masses”. So we can keep stealing and get away with murder.” LIterally.

Corporate America is getting its astroturf on . . . again; this time, it’s trying to kill Wall Street reform.
Rachel Maddow did another of her great investigative pieces last night re: astroturfing and who’s who when it comes to “grassroots” campaigns. Incredibly, Corporate America hired DCI Group to stage a progressive campaign to kill Wall Street reform, and managed to snare Simon Johnson of all people. Simon Johnson appropriately commented in his interview with Maddow that this kind of sophistication in setting up disinformation campaigns is reminiscent of tactics he used to observe when he lived in Russia.
Anyone who doesn’t know just how twisted astroturfing can be should definitely check out the video from Maddow’s segment.
Corporate America needs to go down. Oh yes, it does.

Looks like NZ has, as a Prime Minister, the ” smiling assassin ”
His first job was in 1982, as an auditor at McCulloch Menzies, and he then moved to be a project manager at Christchurch-based clothing manufacturer Lane Walker Rudkin for two years.[8] Key began working as a foreign exchange dealer at Elders Finance in Wellington, and rose to the position of head foreign exchange trader two years later, then moved to Auckland-based Bankers Trust in 1988.[3]
In 1995, he joined Merrill Lynch as head of Asian foreign exchange in Singapore. That same year he was promoted to Merrill’s global head of foreign exchange, based in London, where he may have earned around US$2.25 million a year including bonuses, which is about NZ$5 million at 2001 exchange rates.[3][9] Some co-workers called him “the smiling assassin” for maintaining his usual cheerfulness while sacking dozens (some say hundreds) of staff after heavy losses from the 1998 Russian financial crisis.[4][9] He was a member of the Foreign Exchange Committee of the New York Federal Reserve Bank from 1999 to 2001.[10]
In 2001, on learning of his interest in pursuing a political career, the National Party president John Slater worked actively to recruit him. Former party leader Jenny Shipley describes him as one of the people she “deliberately sought out and put my head on the line – either privately or publicly – to get them in there

“If you see your friends’ smiling faces online, it’s an indication that they have clicked a “like” button on the website you’re visiting. In a way, they’re recommending it to you.”
What if you choose not to be an online addict? What if marketing campaigns shape public opinion and that opinion is then requited ot pressure others into ‘social compliance’.
The Facebook audience will be captured like the US consumer under mass media, but more insidiously, becuase of social pressure..

Brazil and India add to China pressure
While most of the public pressure on China has come from the US, the comments underline that a number of developing economies feel that China’s dollar peg has imposed costs on their economies.
Henrique Meirelles, head of the Brazilian central bank, said that a stronger Chinese currency was “absolutely critical for the equilibrium of the world economy”. He said there were “some distortions in world markets, one of them is a lack of growth and another is China”.
Duvvuri Subbarao, governor of the Reserve Bank of India said that an undervalued renminbi was creating problems for countries, including India.
“If China revalues the yuan, it will have a positive impact on our external sector,” Mr Subbarao said. “If some countries manage their exchange rate and keep them artificially low, the burden of adjustment falls on some countries that do not manage their exchange rate so actively.”

Chief economist at Goldman Sachs: “I have spent a lot of my career working on exchange rate models and am familiar with all the pitfalls. We have developed ours over the years at Goldman Sachs, including for the renminbi. At the moment, rather oddly, our model suggests that the renminbi is very close to the price that it should be.”

Organized crime or criminal organizations is a transnational grouping of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for the purpose of generating a monetary profit. The Organized Crime Control Act (U.S., 1970) defines organized crime as “The unlawful activities of [...] a highly organized, disciplined association [...]“.[
