Ralph Nader Turns Out to be a Moron

According to Bill Griffith of CNBC, Nader has held CSCO Scam since 2000!  That Cisco was a Scam and John Chambers a certifiable Crook was all too obvious to anyone but an investment moron. I did my best to warn people of this giant Scam as well as the fact that the old stock market was converted into the Scam Market. Now Nader is demanding a $1 special dividend from Cisco. Moron.
How could this moron, as a President, save Americans from the Crooks? Sad part is that only born-and-bred American dopes who are morally bankrupt have the chance to be the leader and Crook-In-Chief of the United Dopes of America. Is America screwed or what? Dopes led by dope dealers and Crooks.

Sell Americans short!

New Deal: Expansion of governmental powers beyond all constitutional grants

New Deal: "…expansion of governmental powers beyond all constitutional grants."

"On October 5, 1933, Dodd [US Ambassador to Germany chosen by FDR] gave a speech in Berlin in which he described the New Deal programs in the following way: "It was not revolution as men are prone to say. It was a popular expansion of governmental powers beyond all constitutional grants; and nearly all men everywhere hope the President may succeed."

"President may succeed" in expanding "governmental powers beyond all constitutional grants?" And break his oath? This was clear to Democrats and FDR's supporters! Isn't that reason enough for impeachment of a President?? There at least was no lying about the intent. Amazingly, the US Constitution has been abused by the elected officials, mostly by Presidents, for so long that the only muster left in the Constitution is mostly for the protection of the Crooks and to make more and more masses obey like slaves used to. BTW, how many American Presidents have been put in the jail? "Rule of law," my ass. According to Confucius, "rule of law" makes the population to be shameless! Results in America prove Confucius to be right.

It is always the rule of men, and the men who rule over Americans, in recent years, are Crooks and their agents. Obama was a predictable outcome and only someone who would serve the Crooks better would be able to replace him in 2012 (otherwise, Obama would get reelected). Unless Americans come to grasp the reality that democracy puts power in the hands of the Crooks, who are not held responsible for anything, they would keep voting like dopes they were bred to be and give mandate to the continution of the System of the Crooks. There are no policy solutions for America's fundamental problem—bad ideas (e.g., govt manipulation of the economy), put forth by bad people (e.g., Bernanke, Krooksman), resulting in bad policies (e.g., exponential growth in deficit spending, including due to tax cuts) that guarantee bad outcomes. The system needs be taken down, destroyed and rebuilt. That is the lesson of history—systems after systems were taken down and replaced. All systems get to the point where they need to be taken down. There is no American Exceptionalism; the only thing we have now is American Extremism—left, right, left, right, left… (From my school drill days). The election of 2012 would be another futile attempt, as were the elections of 2004 and 2008. No real change—Crooks don't want any! The march towards bad to worse would continue on course. Arrogance at full display.

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were flawed documents for the simple reason that they were drafted by men who were looking to protect their own interests ("all men" did not mean all mankind!), as was practical for the time, above all else. Who benefited the most and who suffered from the Revolutionary War? Elite of the time benefited the most and ordinary Americans suffered the most (including death and depravation). The dye was cast! At least the elite then were men of honor and class. Today's Crooks have neither honor nor any class. Shamelessness has replaced the old values. Degradation of Americans is thorough. The future leaders, after the System of the Crooks is taken down, would need to rebuild Americans! Deprogramming the dopes!! I know that it is a painful procedure.

Return of Calvinistic brand of Christianity, as a political system, is a candidate to replace the rotten System of the Crooks in America. Unlike the German Hitler, the American Hitler is likely to be a true believer. (The Anglo-American democracy is a Protestant Christian idea, or invention). Crooks have lot to worry and would fight any change tooth and nail.

The WW III Would End In a Decisive Chinese Victory

The American People, led by Crooks, simply cannot prevent that outcome. It is too late anyway. Many of the America's Crooks, money whores, are born-and-bred traitors and they have no compunction about selling America's interests to China or any other country. In due course, America's Crooks would move most of Das Kapital to Shanghai.

Let us face the facts on the ground—American People are politically impotent and Crooks have had a free hand in systematically destroying the US economy (the Crisis was not a happenstance) by selling American interests to foreigners. They can make more money elsewhere! Countries and places to make most money change over time and Crooks' mantra is: Follow the Money. And the American money has been moving to China. In the good old days (for Americans) money was moving into America, no? For everything there is a season (Ecc.).

Jas

PS: Pakistan has aligned itself with the future victor while India has imported the System of the Crooks from the loser. Short-term orientation distorts the vision. Even with America, Pakistan played better politics than India, no?

Mark Kurland Gets Two Years In Prison For Insider Trading

Mark Kurland… Sentenced To Two Years In Prison Over Insider Trading

"…a judge who blamed the attitudes of people like Kurland on the country's financial collapse two years ago.

"He had a choice as a leader of the financial industry. He could have led by example. Instead, he chose to follow. He became a joiner, surrendering to the spree of the financial market's virtual mob mentality that nearly brought down this country's financial industry in the quest for ever bigger and faster gains," Marrero said."

"People like Kurland" were bred in a culture of deception, fraud and manipulation centered in New York City. They are also sexual predators because they use their money and power to induce women who work for them to have "toxic sexual relationships" as was claimed by an employee of Mr. Kurland, Danielle Chiesi, who was also indicted for insider trading. She claims that she was used and manipulated into passing insider information. Kurland would get to keep most of his wealth as was convited felon Michael Milken. What a system!

People bred in the culture of deception, fraud and manipulation have leg up to become "leader of the financial industry." Fraud in financial industry is by design—to attract people who are experts at deception and manipulation and are more willing to commit fraud. Once they make lot of money via fraud they buy the lawmakers and most of the improper activities are made legal, or not explicitly illegal.

 

Forget the "Lost Decade," Get Ready For the "Lost Century"

Because criminal-minded people have taken over the financial system, the economic policy making, and enforcement of financial markets. One has to be blind to the reality of the American system to be optimistic about America's future. It is all over when proven Crooks take over the govt. System of the Crooks has been installed to rule over the American People. OK, OK, go ahead and sing freedom, freedom... Freedom, my ass. White Americans were lot freer under the British! Those who claim otherwise are ignorant of the facts.

Mark Kurland, Former Top Executive, Sentenced To Two Years In Prison Over Insider Trading

LARRY NEUMEISTER | 05/21/10 05:58 PM

 

NEW YORK — A former top executive at a $1 billion hedge fund investment firm was sentenced to more than two years in prison Friday in the first sentencing to result from what prosecutors have called the largest hedge fund insider trading case in history.
Mark Kurland, 61, of Mount Kisco, N.Y., was sentenced Friday to two years and three months in prison and ordered to forfeit the $900,000 he made through illegal trades by a judge who blamed the attitudes of people like Kurland on the country's financial collapse two years ago.
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said Kurland, a co-founder of New Castle Partners hedge fund in Manhattan, "frankly should have known better" than to join an inside trading scheme that led to the arrests of top executives including one-time billionaire Raj Rajaratnam.
"He had a choice as a leader of the financial industry. He could have led by example. Instead, he chose to follow. He became a joiner, surrendering to the spree of the financial market's virtual mob mentality that nearly brought down this country's financial industry in the quest for ever bigger and faster gains," Marrero said.
Kurland, who had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud, was among 11 people who have pleaded guilty in the case. Many of the others had agreed to cooperate with the government, a step which delays their sentencing.

Kirk Here:  We need to go after market manipulators with a vengeance. 

QE1 and QE2 are ways to transfer wealth from savers ("rich people") to borrowers. The US government is the largest borrower so it is a hidden tax on the "rich" retired school teachers and others who saved for a retirement and used interest on their CDs and US Ts to live a comfortable life.

The banks need to be healthy for an economy to work. GE and McDonalds need credit to build turbines and pay burger flippers.

I don't mind banks getting healthy with money they lend out at subsidized rates but I object when they steal wealth from stock investors with program trading to scalp pennies. I'd be all in favor of a TINY transaction tax just enough to make program trading far less profitable but not enough to dent what "real investors" who buy stocks as investments see for returns. That means make the transaction tax less than 0.1% and use the funds to shore up the SEC and look for and prosecute ANY traders that manipulate the markets. Make the markets FAIR again for the small investor and they will return and we'll get a wealth effect larger than QE1 and QE2 combined (opinion, of course!)

Obama Gives In to Whining on Wall Street + AGE OF GREED

Wall Street has the highest concentration of Crooks. Everything that is being said in the links below is consistent with System of the Crooks that got its biggest boost from the most successful dope dealer (propagandist) in recent decades, "Ronaldus Magnus." Among eCONmeisters, we have dope dealers on the right, e.g., now deceased Milton Friedman (see the appended), and dope dealer on the left, e.g., Krooksman, aka Paul Krugman. The economics profession has been taken over by dope dealers. There is nothing more profitable in America than dope dealing, e.g., Oprah Winfrey and Rush Limbaugh.

 

 American Extremism At Work

The two party system has been reduced to implementing the extremists polices on both sides because the extremists deliver the margin of victory to a party. Extremists on the left, led by Krooksman, claim that deficit spending pays for itself and the extremists on the right claim that tax cuts pay for themselves. Both polices have led to exponential growth in debilitating consumption debt. And there is no way out of this logjam until the depression could no longer be pushed into the future and economic reality forces itself on a population of born-and-bred dopes. Misery would be forced upon the dopes! Crooks have made sure of that!!  There would have to be an epic battle between Crooks and Dopes. And it would be bloody. Be Safe!

Age of Greed: Author's Talk with Jeff Madrick

"Greed will always be with us," writes Jeff Madrick, "but it rises and falls with the times." In AGE OF GREED: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, Madrick brings a narrative history of how greed bred America's economic ills over the past forty years—and in so doing tells us how we got to the crisis of 2008 and to the perilous situation we now face. At Cooper Union, he will talk about the impact of the 1970s—a decade of punishingly high inflation and unemployment. Madrick will also address how taxes and economic policies contributed to the nation's ills. A 50-year-old, free-market economic theory was resurrected to justify weakening or eliminating government regulation and social programs. Businesses organized aggressive, well-financed lobbying efforts to support such views. The single-minded pursuit and justification of self-interest has risen to levels of increasing destructiveness. AGE OF GREED is a history of this era, told through the lives of the individuals most responsible for it.

Also, "The chapter is titled "Milton Friedman, Proselytizer," and there is a good deal of (fascinating) information about Friedman's early years as a "fanatically religious" Jew. One is left with a picture of Friedman as a rather clever but irresponsible simplifier and dogmatist.

Do Not Get Sick In America! -- FWC: Do Not Get Sick In India

India has been blindly copying America for the past few decades. The System of the Crooks has been imported to India mostly by those trained in America just as the British political system was imported by those trained in Britain.

"Doctors are humans too. You can't trust them blindly. Please understand the difference."

More and more doctors in America and India are imitating the Crooks based on the success Crooks have enjoyed in making money. Crooks in America and India are the living advertisement for Crime Pays! The ranks of the Crooks are swelling in no less part due to democracy.

Do Not Get Sick In India

Every doctor affiliated to a hospital in India must perform a certain number of surgeries and physicians must refer a certain number of patients for laboratory tests, x-rays and MRIs, endoscopies and ultrasound etc..
If not they are removed from the hospital registries and premises…
Treatment is given not according to the disease but according to the wealth of the patient…
 Most of these observations are either completely or partially true. Corruption has many names, and one of civil society isn't innocent either. Professionals and businessmen of various sorts indulge in unscrupulous practices. I recently had a chat with some doctors, surgeons and owners of nursing homes about the tricks of their trade. Here is what they said
1)      40-60% kickbacks for lab tests.
When a doctor (whether family doctor / general physician, consultant or surgeon) prescribes tests - pathology, radiology, X-rays, MRIs etc. - the laboratory conducting those tests gives commissions. In South and Central Mumbai -- 40%. In the suburbs north of Bandra -- a whopping 60 per cent! He probably earns a lot more in this way than the consulting fees that you pay.

2)      30-40% for referring to consultants, specialists & surgeons. When your friendly GP refers you
to a specialist or surgeon, he gets 30-40%. 

3)      30-40% of total hospital charges. If the GP or consultant recommends hospitalization, he will
receive kickback from the private nursing home as a percentage of all charges including ICU, bed, nursing care, surgery. 

4)      Sink tests. Some tests prescribed by doctors are not needed. They are there to inflate bills
and commissions. The pathology lab understands what is unnecessary. These are called "sink tests"; blood, urine, stool samples collected will be thrown.

5)      Admitting the patient to "keep him under observation". People go to cardiologists feeling unwell and anxious. Most of them aren't really having a heart attack, and cardiologists and family doctors are well aware of this. They admit such safe patients, put them on a saline drip with mild sedation, and send them home after 3-4 days after charging them a fat amount for ICU, bed charges, visiting doctors fees.

6)      ICU minus intensive care.
Nursing homes all over the suburbs are run by doctor couples or as one-man-shows. In such places, nurses and ward boys are 10th class drop-outs in ill-fitting uniforms and bare feet. These "nurses" sit at the reception counter, give injections and saline drips, perform ECGs, apply dressings and change bandages, and assist in the operation theatre. At night, they even sit outside the Intensive Care Units; there is no resident doctor. In case of a crisis, the doctor -- who usually lives in the same building -- will turn up after 20 minutes, after this nurse calls him. Such ICUs admit safe patients to fill up beds. Genuine patients who require emergency care are sent elsewhere to hospitals having a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) round-the-clock.

7)      Unnecessary caesarian surgeries and hysterectomies. Many surgical procedures are done to keep the cash register ringing. Caesarian deliveries and hysterectomy (removal of uterus) are high on the list. While the woman with labour -pains is screaming and panicking, the obstetrician who gently suggests that caesarian is best seems like an angel sent by God! Menopausal women experience bodily changes that make them nervous and gullible. They can be frightened by words like"cysts" and "fibroids" that are in almost every normal woman's radiology reports. When a gynaecologist gently suggests womb removal "as a precaution", most women and their husbands agree without a second's
thought.

8)      Cosmetic surgery advertized through newspapers. Liposuction and plastic surgery are not minor procedures. Some are life-threateningly major. But advertisements make them appear as easy as facials and waxing. The Indian medical council
has strict rules against such misrepresentation. But nobody is interested in taking action.

9)       Indirect kickbacks from doctors to prestigious hospitals. To be on the panel of a prestigious hospital, there is give-and-take involved. The hospital expects the doctor to refer many patients for hospital admission. If he fails to send a certain number of patients, he is quietly dumped. And so he likes to admit patients even when there is no need.

10)  "Emergency surgery" on dead body.
If a surgeon hurriedly wheels your patient from the Intensive Care Unit to the operation theatre, refuses to let you go inside and see him, and wants your signature on the consent form for "an emergency
operation to save his life", it is likely that your patient is already dead. The "emergency operation" is for inflating the bill; if you agree for it, the surgeon will come out 15 minutes later and report that your patient died on the operation table. And then, when you take  delivery of the dead body, you will pay OT charges, anaesthesiologist's charges, blah-blah-

Doctors are humans too. You can't trust them blindly. Please understand the difference. 

Young surgeons and old ones.
The young ones who are setting up nursing home etc. have heavy loans to settle. To pay back the loan, they have to perform as many operations as possible. Also, to build a reputation, they have to perform a large number of operations and develop their skills. So, at first, every case seems fit for cutting. But with age, experience and prosperity, many surgeons lose their taste for cutting, and stop recommending operations. 

Physicians and surgeons. To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Surgeons like to solve medical problems by cutting, just as physicians first seek solutions with drugs. So, if you take your medical problem to a surgeon first, the chances are that you will unnecessarily end up on the operation table. Instead, please go to an ordinary GP first.

From:	Jas Jain

"Sick in the head" is also why America wouldn't get the govt it needs, economy it needs, etc. There is no solution to the problem of "sick in the head" because almost all those born in America who are alive today have been systematically bred to be dopes in the areas of economics and politics. The System of the Crooks necessitates it. Therefore, breeding dopes is an existential necessity for the American system, as it exists today. Crooks employ tens of thousands of dope dealers, e.g., Krooksman, Limbaugh, etc., to make sure that Americans are supplied with the political dope of their liking, or the ones they are addicted to. Capitalism is very good at supplying what people want!

It would take getting rid of the Crooks, as one gets rid of the pests, to have any chance for a better America. Until then, America would keep sliding down. The sickness-care system would remain sick.

Jas

BTW, I went to the UCLA Medical Center for a physical (for a check up and to get various tests done for those 62 and older) and there were plethora of overweight women employed there (mostly service jobs). Most overweight women were black and Hispanic and the least overweight were East Asian. The sickness-care "industry" itself is in bad shape. The intellectual health of Americans is lot worse than their physical health. Americans' prolebms originate in their sick heads.

Pope Is Against Abortion! -- FWC: Bernanke's Self-Serving Bold-Faced Lies

"For starters, were it not for the complete ineptitude of the Greenspan and Bernanke Fed the US would not be in this mess in the first place. Second, there most assuredly is a cost to the Fed's policies."

and
Bernanke is a complete fool, trapped in academic wonderland, completely oblivious as to how the real world works. To top it off, Bernanke has the gall to knowingly lie about the real world effects of his blatant stupidity. Ben Bernanke, you are disgusting.
Mike Shedlock

Bernanke and Tim Geithner were selected for their ability to lie and maintain composure; therefore, Bernanke's lies are not a headline event just as Pope's latest Curia issuing ban on abortion is not news. Greenspan's lies were couched more in a language of obfuscation. Deception and Lying are essential qualities in these positions; hence, people bred in a culture of deception, fraud and manipulation have a leg up for these jobs. There has rarely been such an obvious fraud as Bernanke in American politics (yes, Fed is very much a political body with powers to manipulate the economy for the benefits of those whose political agents select the Fed Governors and Chairman). Crooks had full knowledge of what Bernanke would do based on his published works and public pronouncements! And they liked what they had heard and read!! He came thru with flying colors!!! Behind the scenes, Jamie Dimon is one of Bernanke and Obama's bosses.

Only dopes could maintain faith in the current American econo-political system—a system of the Crooks, by the Crooks, and for the Crooks. When dopes vote Crooks are bound to come on top and keep people like Bernanke in power.

Bernanke would keep power no matter which party wins the White House in 2012. Crooks have iron grip on both parties, no?
