Patrick Creates The Ultimate Series on Captured Regulators and the Market's Folly

Location: Blogs Bob O'Brien's Sanity Check Blog

We are experiencing technical difficulties, and until they are resolved, I am limited to just a few sentences.

At a time when the SEC is losing top brass more often than Paris Hilton is failing Breathalyzers, Patrick's first installment in his series on the markets and captured regulators is particularly poignant. He addresses the corrupted market cops, the talentless hacks in the NY financial press whose penchant for toeing the Wall Street line exposes them as nothing more than fluffers for their hedge fund puppetmasters, the structural deficiencies in the market system, and the historical basis for our understanding that bad things this way come.

Which raises the question, are NY financial journalists cheaper by the dozen, or is there a graduated pay schedule? Couple hundred bucks for a Fool slam, $50K for 3 months of slander in a major? Do some rate anonymous ATM cards linked to offshore accounts, or is it as mundane as letting the dolt win a few big hands at the weekly poker game so he can afford more groceries and an oil change?

But I digress.

It's a must read. Disseminate it wherever you think it will get the most visibility. There is no way to claim ignorance after reading this.

Thanks, Patrick.

News: Senate Interim Committee on Consumer and Financial Protection.

Issues being examined by the committee will include Stranger-Owned Life Insurance schemes that take advantage of seniors by promising “free life insurance,” mortgage fraud that employs dishonest real estate practices, and the practice of “naked short selling” where investors profit off of shares they have never possessed. The committee will hear from experts on these and other matters to make legislative recommendations to the General Assembly.

Since writing & emailing Congress on the matter does not seem to get the attention it deserves, perhaps the more effective act is to hurtle printed fliers into the men's restroom facilities at all the air terminals frequented by congressmen & senators. Hurtle the fliers and tap your feet.

I am still amazed that an anonymous market advocate is still getting coverage by the press. While he is demonized for everything, there are problems developing at the miscreants' party ... rules getting rescinded, trials about to start. hmmm... and they are running out of ashtrays and booze.

It is kind of amazing, no? Almost as though someone instructs "sympathetic journalists" to keep speculations as to my identity alive, for purposes unknown.

What is particularly amazing is that even after Congress publishes a report detailing massive stock manipulation and obstruction of justice, and the SEC top players are tripping all over themselves to jump ship, some of the scribblers are more comfortable pretending none of this has happened or is newsworthy, and just stick to the agenda. Almost like it is work for pay, or something. "Hit the following high notes: Easter Bunny speculations, tiny mortgage lender slam, proclaim hurriedly retired and now represented by criminal defense attorney hedge fund short seller to have been "correct", etc. - Ignore all data showing market melting down and naked short selling crisis to be very real, and SEC corruption to be ubiquitous."

Frigging amazing, really, no? It is odd, as I don't read any of these fine publications, nor does anyone I know, so I'm unclear on the purpose it is supposed to serve the bad guys. But hey, if my 15 minutes turns into 5 years of ongoing fixation, whatever. Some collect bottle caps. I collect NY journalists with a bunny jones. Everyone needs a hobby.

I also get a kick out of being cited all over the SEC rulemaking proposals now. Note how that isn't mentioned in any of the articles? Loony Patrick and the loopy Easter Bunny's little journey is resulting in profound changes in the recognition and the regulation of delivery failures, however now the game is to avoid mentioning Patrick at all, and to slam "me" in connection with NFI periodically - I think you also saw Herb working from the same gamebook recently.

They are nothing if not predictably transparent, I will grant you that. But they also seem to be really annoyed that anyone rained on their little parade. Kind of like, crime should continue to pay well, and how dare the rape victim fight back....

Our fine NY media at work. We are all proud. No wonder the chinese aren't worried...

The Federal Register version... will be around for posterity...maybe the grandkids will take it all in. Do you have a scrapbook for all the bunny propaganda? How about a garbage can?
Remember when Cutler's firm declined working for Gradient group? Seems Cutler was the first to limit the scope of the investigation into Mack's alleged insider trading. Why would an enforcement person limit the scope of any investigation? No.. don't look.. don't look, we might find a pattern...

Patchie / Bud / Bunny, it is a badge of honor that when they look for distraction, the NY press has to talk about you.

Have you ever noticed that when you look back at history, citizens of that time always seem like buffoons? With the benefit of hindsight, it seems hard to believe citizens couldn't see the sudden paradigm shift that was about to overtake them. We get a confirmation bias, because our version of reality is the one that won and the people in the past didn't see the sudden rapid change that was engulfing them, but history is not about stability. It is about tipping points and rapid changes over short periods of time.

Historians from fifty years from now are going to wonder why more people didn't see the signs that the bankster families were going to fall, taxation was going to be eliminated and replaced with a government controlled dollar to pay government bills and that the stock market was going to finally serve its purpose to power innovation and entrepreneurship and not to serve criminals and vested transnationals. I'm hoping Ron Paul gets elected, but if he doesn't, there will be another Ron waiting in the wings. Others are thinking the same way, waiting for some politician to finally stand about to the banksters and republicrats.

I'm not being utopian or optimistic. It is inevitable. If you ran a computer simulation where the lies and secrets of the criminal elite were suddenly revealed to the masses via the Internet, you'd expect sudden rapid change. If we removed the parasites from the economy, it is logical that we would all have a better life with less need to work, just as removing the tapeworm let's the host survive with far less food. Let's face it, no one will miss the tapeworm or mosquito.

Off with their heads!

The signs are everywhere. Everyone knows the dollar is privately controlled and that private secret society power is used to control the stock market, the elections (touch screens with no audit trail), arms sales, drug sales, BCCI laundering of arms and drug money and that the banksters are racing to set up a world currency backed by energy (oil) and commodities (gold missing from the basements of the WTC's - google it) before we can stop them. Does anyone think all the foreign wars are in the interest of improving our standard of living? If not, who do they benefit? The war is costing more than it would cost to buy Saddam's oil. Think about it - it's about keeping it from anyone, including you that doesn't play ball when it backs the Canada/USA/Mexico Amero when they crash the dollar and remind you of the USA domestic concentration camps that Halliburton has been building along rail lines since 911.

Tell your neigbors to wake the fuck up and give their head a shake!

I saw the fox news propoganda channel on the weekend and Geraldo didn't know what to do when citizens in the background held up "911 truth" signs on his live show. We could have done the same thing with anti naked shorting signs. They can't stop us and couldn't stop them. Shit like this scares the bankster criminals.

Their New World Order is a global private currency based on debt where they don't have to compete with Islamic commodity currencies based on the idea that it is a sin to charge interest when you don't actually lend anything or to borrow from the bankster family scum. The banking families hope to create the Euro, the Amero, the Islamic Dinar and the Yuan to reduce world currencies to four privately controlled ones before they finally reduce to one currency, with world governments and countries beneath their private currencies. Their end game is the Amero and reducing all Arab countries to Arabia and the Dinar.

Control of Iraq and the Arab currencies is not going well, Iran is going to be tough to fight, Saudi Arabia has problems with their own citizens, Russia is rising again and populations in Europe and North America are figuring them out. The bankster criminal drug and arms dealing scum are losing.

Maybe a dozen banking families, tied into European royalty, bilderbergers, council on foreign relations, league of rome, trilateral commission, bohemian grove, skull and bones (graduate ten members per year, but both Kerry and Bush were members). etc. are racing to stop the global economic democracy that the free marketplace of ideas on the Internet is about to unleash. The number of people we are talking about could fit in a single room and we are letting them control the SEC and the Department of Treasury and all elected officials and much of the military through bribes and blackmail. Something is really wrong here. Why are you afraid of a room full of inbred tiny old men with nothing more going for them than "electrons" and "paper and ink" that their "banks" and "brokerages" churn out? Physically, your own friends and neigbors could probably take them in a fight - there are that few.

The reason they are racing is they know that after two thousand years of fractional banking control (invented during the Roman era), they are likely to be unsuccessful as we are figuring out their levers of control through netting banking and naked short obligations. Where we all need to use real money, they use the fact that they are a prime brokerage or a big bank to invest reputation and trust rather than value, then expect taxpayer bailouts when thier bets go wrong and they prove to be untrustworthy. They buy politicians and media outlets with checks backed by nothing as they own the banks. They have always been able to control the media by outbidding us, but they can't control a web page or email.

I can imagine the power elite laughing about how the little people thought the printing press might help them in 1440. Next thing you know, Columbus discovers America in 1492 and a Rennaissance of ideas take over Europe right to 1700 and the revolution in 1776. Great Roman and Greek ideas such as democracy and citizen's rights are suddenly introduced into European society by these books suddenly available to the peasants and at the cringing of the royalty and monied elite who think the masses should be serfs working the fields in the dark ages.

I feel like that kind of paradigm shifting change is upon us. If you look to recent history, it is depressing, but history doesn't predict the future. The future changes in a sudden quantum jump, the way that last snowflake triggers the avalanche.

The darkness is about to be lifted because the truth is an antiseptic that will make
the thieves scurry the same way bugs run when you turn over the rock they were hiding under. Herb Greenberg, look to your brighter compatriots such as Carol Remond who has gone silent or Jim Cramer that has repositioned himself on his side. I'd hate to be the front man for the thieves when the population comes with pitchforks and torches because your bankster bosses will throw you to the wolves and the dumbest reporters such as you and Roddy Boyd will be the first to be thrown under the bus.

There is no honor among thieves.

Now is the time to accelerate our efforts as they are on the run. To be mentioing the bunny or Patrick or to even give us the token naked shorting reforms tells me they are on the run. They are scared of us.

Patrick, the bunny, Patchie, Bud and a host of others are leading us to FORCE change. All they can do is make fun of the bunny, but they can't stop us. This board is one of the reasons SEC employees are quitting and one of the reasons why scumbag dicks like Shelby who played both democrat and republican, chasing the bribes wherever he could find them are not running the banking commission. We haven't got our way, yet, but WE WILL!, because the many don't like getting screwed by the few and the few can't get the Internet to shut up and their secrets are getting out.

I'm no fan of Larry Craig, but he is symptomatic of the way the bankster criminal families use bribes and blackmail to control our democracy. After many months, he is exposed when he brings out a banking bill? To be exposed means he told them to F. Off. Kennedy gets assassinated when he decides on government controlled money as did Lincoln?

What happened to defending against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC?

Anyway, suddenly the bankster criminal drug and arms dealers are facing an unseen enemy. The bunny post where EB talked about how evil he was must have driven them nuts. He admitted to all kinds of crap from gay lovers to underaged nymphos, from KKK to Hitler youth and Saddam supporter. A guy like that is hard to blackmail.

The bunny can't be bribed, blackmailed or killed and he is spawning fellow bunnies and neighbors and friends of bunnies until it gets to a point where the change will come in a landslide and the bankster families will be arrested or killed.

Change is all around us, can't you feel what the stranger next to you is thinking? Lots of people, quietly thinking ideas that they keep to themselves because they don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but well aware that life was easier in 1957 than 2007 and not happy about it. Change explodes onto the scene the minute they realize all the other strangers are thinking the exact same thing.

Do me a favor, take the ideas in this post, send them to your friends and tell them to send them to your friends because I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of letting the parasites run the system.

we have done this for over three years and brought out reams of proof and verbal history and confessions from some of the most credible on the front line people that have ever existed. The next step is for Joe six pack and Charlie the analyst to take the time to decipher what is in front of them, which is the equivalent of a lit stick of dynamite that can't be ignored. I have said all along and will still say it again that active demonstrations with cameras running, that HAVE to report news of great protest or get O'Reilly on the factor to comment. If this doesn't resonate with the average folk then they might as well get fitted for a straight slot or phillips head when the big screw comes. God knows they have been warned.

401k?

An IRA?

And about 40K in cash?

Thanks

I don't give investment advice, however will remark that being in commodities in times of uncertainty has never been a bad strategy.
