Dr. Patrick Byrne has broken down the entire US financial system failure to deliver/manipulation and captured regulator problem into an easy to follow presentation that describes precisely why the entire mechanism is as rigged as a 43rd Street game of 3 card Monte. It's concise, linear, comprehensive, and completely logical and seamless.
You won't hear about this presentation anywhere, certainly not from the US financial press. The reason you won't hear about it is because most of the NY financial press assigned to covering this story are bought and paid for by the bad guys. Simple. The few dozen critical figures who could do a Woodward and Bernstein understand that there are some things you don't bring the C section editor if you want to keep your job, or get to win at the weekly poker game, or get the trips to Barbados comped. Or if you want to keep your kneecaps.
The link below is a presentation that was given at the recent PIPEs conference, and it should go down as the definitive piece on the topic. There isn't a lot more you need to know.
Do yourself a huge favor. Listen to it. And then distribute the link wherever you can, as it is the single most important piece of material that has been authored on the topic to date.

The cat is out of the bag. Every investor in the markets should listen to this presentation. It is a must. The question asked early on, which is the single most damning question one could ask to show how corrupted the system is, should scare the hell out of everyone - why? Because it is an obvious question, that everyone from the DOJ to Congress to the press refuse to acknowledge or ask. And that tells one that the rot is pervasive at all levels. Scary. And true.
So listen to the presentation. Think about it. Disseminate it widely. Put it on Youtube. Link it on every message board, chat room, blog, or anything else you can think of. Digg this blog entry for wider dissemination.
And then figure out where you are going to invest, because it won't be in the US market system.
By the way, toward the end of the presentation, Byrne tells a story that corroborates something I discussed a while ago, which is where people are threatened with death for pursuing this story. It isn't a joke. This happens. Some of the crooked journalists try to pretend that it is all BS, however when 4-year olds are having their lives threatened, it doesn't seem so easy to dismiss. I suspect that if it was their 4-year olds, they would feel different, but then again, they aren't really paid to tell the truth, or even register it. They are vocational liars, as skilled at deception as a Hanoi streetwalker, if not quite as believable.
That's the rabbit hole. It's reality as it is, rather than as you are told it is.
And the fact that the question asked in the early part of the presentation is so obvious, and so large, and so un-asked by everyone, should be your wakeup call.
Who will watch the watchers. when the watchers are corrupt? Nobody, but one brave CEO who's a little more pugnacious than the liars are accustomed to encountering. How tragic for us as a civilization, and how telling about our integrity as a nation.
I'm frankly surprised someone hasn't done a hit and run, or there hasn't been an unfortunate KGB style heart failure drug stuck into his leg, by now. The machine has a problem, and because of this presentation, you can easily understand what it is. So why can't any of the folks paid to protect you from the machine understand?
Another good question.
