The EU And IMF Watch In Horror As Everything Goes To Hell In Hungary

I hate sounding sophmoric...
Like with the rest of the Obama 'law enforcement' and 'homeland security' crowd, if these hedge funds do not have genitals, the SEC is not going to find a thing. SEC 'doubles down' with two dirty books instead of one porn tuned computer monitor. You zombies keep forgetting who you are talking about. Does the memory of the SEC wanker circle @ over $100,000-$200,000 per year, EACH and still at their desks without disciplinary action ring a bell? Geithner's mentor was Richard Perle and the Vancouver Club! Jumpin' Jesus! The U.S. is under a manifold attack from a foreign entity using technologies and strategy beyond your average moron's grasp. I know you guys can do it. I believe in you. You have succeeded in a complex, esoteric realm dominated by treachery and deceit. Stop hoping for pigs to grow wings. It can't happen.
England and Belgium are in debt 1000% of GDP. If their debt is forgiven, The U.S. debt will likewise fall by the wayside. If Romney or Newt or the democrat get in, it probably will not. What next?

I like this declaration!

ie, the S.E.C. is a collection of appointed spoilers; an appointed placebo committee, to give adults of the neonatal persuasion the confidence needed to risk and lose all in the markets. Have faith? No.

Iowa caucus to be hand counted.

Note 1:

The next link (listed in the above story) refers to a past incident regarding Romney vote fraud

Romney Vote Fraud.

Note: Both parties are guilty of vote fraud. Brad Friedman does great reporting on this. Brad is a staunch democrat and is highly critical of republicans, but his reporting of vote fraud is still outstanding.

Analysis: Critics question cost as consultants nip and tuck SEC

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/29/us-sec-consultants-idUSTRE81S28Q20120229

[snip]

At a time when the SEC is fighting Congress for more funds, some agency employees are concerned that the SEC has spent over $8.5 million in just under a year on dozens of consultants from Booz Allen Hamilton to advise on reforming workflows and back-office operations, according to documents and people familiar with the matter.

Booz Allen consultants are costing the SEC anywhere between around $100 an hour to over $300 an hour depending on the person's position, according to internal documents reviewed by Reuters. The number of consultants on site fluctuates each month, but it has ranged from four to 77.

Is Steve still among us?....

Gomp, I posted all I know further down, btw, thanks for the video link a few days ago, it was great and thank you for your patience.

I'm beginning to wonder! Nothing from DB since 7 February. Has anybody heard what he's up to?

[John]

Yea guys, I know you are getting tired of me...I was hoping DB was too but apparently he is enjoying some much needed time off (my best guess). I talked with someone who had people see him at a certain film screening so he is out and about (still alive and kicking). We all know how god damn frustrating it is to see what is happening on a daily basis and combine that with frequent technical difficulties at this site can be a real ball buster. (Square space has once again blacklisted me as spam and have been ordered (on more than one occasion) to put me on a whitelist. Fortunately, DB was kind enough to allow me to log in and that is why you can see my posts with a capital J.

I hope he comes back soon, refreshed and ready to rock and roll. In the meantime, I will do my best with what little I have (I can do draft stories but not publish them)... If anyone here feels I need to take a vacation let me know.

I apologize as that is all I can do and all I know.

[Sagebrush]

Not tired of you at all John, I appreciate your effort to keep some posts up. Good to hear DB is still alive and kicking.

=====================================================================================================

Thanks Sage, you guys have been great to keep up posting the occasional comment (and link too) you don't know how much that means. We haven't heard from Dar and his last post was about a pretty serious medical condition that cropped up. I hope he is ok but feel his posts have also been blacklisted too. (even DB was blacklisted as spam on his own site before!)...

Hope you take the time to read your own posts from time to time as I may respond in this manner... (that goes for everyone) as that is how I will keep excessive comments down in the Most Recent Comments section.

[S. Gompers]

No problem John, I think you guys will enjoy this, especially T. Dar. Hope your O.K. T. Dar, he lives over where the storms hit the other night.

[John]

Gomp, I sent him an e-mail and will let you know how he is doing if he responds. T-Dar is part of the family here...

[S. Gompers]

I have done the same John, but have not heard back yet other than seeing his post last night.
