One of the better rants I have read in a long time

SMH,Please respond?

You betcha I'll respond, because naked shorting is only the tip of the iceberg. Naked shorting and failures to deliver are not the"greatest crime in history." The greatest crime in history, has been the systematic looting of Americain broad daylight by greedy Wall Street insiders,facilitated by corrupt politicians, and financed bypuppet central bankers controlled by the globalist,new world order elite.I know, I know... some of you are already rolling youreyes...New World Order, Globalist Elite, Bilderbergers,here we go again... Please bear with me... and keep an open mind.But, before I get started on a rant on the "real" Greatest Crime in History... I'll answer yourquestion by sharing two revealing exposes on naked shorting,one an award winning video from Bloomberg News, and the other,a very compelling slide presentation from Patrick Byrne ofOverstock.com.Before you dismiss Byrne as a kook, watch his presentation.His presentation, along with the video from Bloomberg, willdispel any notions that you may have, that naked short sellingis about shady characters working out of bucket shops, orboiler rooms in New Jersey. Because it's not. It's aboutBroker Dealers working out of corner offices on Wall and Broad.Here's the Bloomberg Video:http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vIrfhgQPAJ1s.asf

And here is Byrne's power point slide presentation - whichin words and pictures, will educate you as to the mechanicsof naked short selling. Whether you agree, or disagree,like, or despise Byrne... it's a very educational videothat will make the entire subject of naked short sellingunderstandable. Watch it - period.http://www.businessjive.com/nss.aspx

This subject is something that I and many others here havecommented on many times over the last couple of years. And it encompasses much, much, more than just naked short selling.Most if not all of those comments have (until now) beendismissed as either conspiracy theory hogwash, or as bitter, partisan political rants, as was this one, which I postednearly 2 1/2 years ago...

From: SliderOnTheBlack 2/16/2006 9:26:52 AM "The Most Profitable Crime in the History of the World!"http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=22173158From 1789 to the year 2000 -- it took 42 prior USPresidents and 211 years to accumulate $1.01 Trillion in government debt.But, it only took George W. Bush 4 years to nearly double US debt -- addding another mind-boggling $1.05 Trillion ofgovernment debt...that now rests not just upon the shouldersof U.S. Taxpayers...but, now upon the shoulders of theirchildren...and their children's-children.That my friends... is both the greatest theft in the Historyof the World, but also the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world...The Bushites have assured us that deficits and debt don'tmatter....in fact why are you even paying attention to thedebt & deficits behind the curtain.... you should beparticipating in the robust, inflation free economy andbe damn thankfull for what Bush #43 has done for theAmerican citizenry over the last 6 years !-- you could buy 50% more house than you otherwise ever could have afforded...hell, we even let you borrow 125% ofwhat your present house was worth... we even let you do itwith bad credit and no money down -- so whatcha bitchin' about debt & deficits for ?...pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain !-- there's also no inflation:... well, at least if you don't count food, energy, housing,taxes, insurance, college tuition, or anything else you spendyour money on.-- and you economists... and hawkish politicans like Ron Paulof Texas... shame on you for bringing up M3.-- there's not only no more inflation... there's no more M3....if we say you don't need to pay attention to M3 any more -believe us...it's not like we've ever lied to you in the pastabout anything before ?And as far as worrying about what rising Energy prices aredoing to the US Economy ?Don't Worry -- Be Happy !-- You've got the Bush/Cheney/Halliburton/JamesBaker/Saudi/ExxonEnergy Policy protecting you !Don't pay any attention to the fact that Japan has added23 LNG Terminals and the US has only added 4.Don't pay any attention to the fact that France has added 53nuclear power plants in the same timeframe that the US hasadded 1.Don't pay any attention to the fact that China has seen thelight and has 20+ Nuclear Power facilities coming online.The Bush Energy Plan...is working !At least for the Investment Bankers who increased theirinvestment in the US commodity futures markets from $15Billion in 2003 to over $100 Billion today -- as recentlyreported by Fimat USA's John Kilduff on CNBC.Shame on Aunt Millie - for not allocating an adequate portionof her Social Security check to Natural Gas Futures -- it'snot our fault she's shivering in the dark, cold and having toeat kibbles and bits out of a can... this is a Free MarketEconomy ...she had the same opportunities as the derivativesunit from Goldman had."

And these thoughts from this past March...http://siliconinvestor.advfn.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=24454109From: SliderOnTheBlack 3/31/2008 9:21:48 AM 28 Recommendations "From Super SIV to "Super Shiv"..."They're LOOTING America in broad daylight...right under your nose."Remember when you were told that a group of America'sstrongest banks were going to band together and forma "Super SIV"? Do you remember, when Paulson said this was the cure,that markets would provide - market solutions...and that the worst was now behind us?Well the "the worst" wasn't behind us - now was it?And markets didn't provide "market solutions" - did they?And that "Super SIV" where banks would bail out banks,never happened - did it?Well guess what?YOU my friend, are now providing the solution.Taxpayers just like you, and me - are now bailing out the banks....that's their solution.Taxpayers just like you and me - are now funding the new"Super Shiv"... and yes, that's shiv - not SIV.Shiv as in - a knife in the back of taxpayers.Did you see James Lockhart on CNBC last week? Lockhart isthe director of the Office of Federal Housing EnterpriseOversight, commonly known as OFHEO. His job is to oversee the GSE's like Fannie Mae and FreddieMac. In his interview on CNBC, Lockhart admitted that the one valid criticism that he would "not try to defend" - is that Fannie and Freddie - "are now indeed - too big to ever be allowed to fail."How big is big - you ask?How about $5 Trillion big. Yes, Trillion with a "T."And how big is Five Trillion Dollars?$5 Trillion is equal to the entire U.S. GDP - that's how big.And guess what? Not only are you, and I, going to fund the new "Super Shiv"...but, you and I are also going to absolutelyend up funding the ultimate bailout of the GSE's. Becausethe GSE's are going to fund the bailout of the banks andnow the investment banks.Fannie & Freddie's mortgage market share has now growna staggering +50% just since 2006. They now control 76%of the U.S. Mortgage market.Yes...76%.I'd say that's too big to fail - how 'bout you?And what have they just done with Fannie & Freddie?They lowered their capital requirements, and easedtheir lending standards.Now given that they have the same underlying "credit crisis"problems as Countrywide, and Bear Stearns... can you imagineanyone offering up a solution that would allow Countrywide &Bear Stearns to increase their market share by +50%, to lowertheir capital base, and to widen and loosen their lendingstandards?Does that sound like recipe for a fix, or a recipe fordisaster?My friends, we have just witnessed a historic turning point.And that turning point was not about the subprime mortgagemess, it wasn't about the collapse of housing, not about thecredit crisis, and it wasn't about the Fed bailout out of theinvestment banks.It was the death of America's middle class as we now know it.And that death was delivered by the greatest transfer ofwealth in all of history. A transfer that happened in just8 short years. A transfer that occurred via unbridled greed,leverage, and a lack of oversight. Greedy Wall Street insiders did it, and money grubbing, power hungry, and asleep at the wheel, politicans and central bankers allowed it to happen - in broad daylight,right under your and my nose.Wall Street insiders used an unprecedented degree of leverage,and financial engineering to suck billions and billions out of the U.S. economy... sucking it dry to the point that it isnow collapsing from the weight of a pile of it's own worthlessderivative paper.And what they've left you and I - is rampant inflation, ahollowed out Dollar, deficits as far and high - as the eye can see, a collapsing economy, and unfunded liabilities insocial security, medicare and the GSE's, for which you and I,our children, and our children's - children - will spendthree generations paying for.They have $25 million dollar apartments on 5th Ave,vacation homes with helipads in the Hampton's, and Yachts the size of ocean liners in Boca... and you and I, - we have the bill.And how big is that bill - you ask?Well don't take my word for it... let's use former U.S. Comptroller General David Walkers numbers.Estimates range as high as $450,000 per U.S. household.The GAO (the General Accounting Office) estimates that by2040, current policy will require a 50 percent reduction in federal spending, or a doubling of taxes to balance the budget. Given our history - do you think America will reduce spending by 50%... or, raise taxes?And just in case you were wondering? Do you think most ofthose Wall St. fat cats who just sucked America dry -care? ...given how capital gains & private equity firmsare taxed?And how is our government going to fix all theseproblems?With more Debt!Our government is now running up $5 of debt, for every $1 of GDP growth that spending produces. If a private business produced those results - they'd bebankrupt very quickly. But, instead of going bankrupt - our government just piles on more, and more debt onto thebacks of our children's - children.And if you think Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or evenJohn McCain are going to solve that problem... just wait for my next rant...S.O.T.B.

And as far as the agenda of the NWO, don't take my word, take the words that I'm going to show you coming out of themouths of Gordon Brown, Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, GeorgeH.W. Bush, and David Rockefeller & Company. Let them tell youin their own words what their agenda is.Because as America's freedoms are stripped away, as our Treasury is looted, as our currency is being systematically debased and destroyed... as our financial system is beingbankrupted, and our markets looted... those wishingto bring America to heel under a New World Order,are no longer even hiding in the shadows, or behindgated walls... they're openly talking about it tothe likes of Charlie Rose, FOX, and CNN...Here's Gordon Brown, George H.W. Bush, andHenry Kissinger...http://www.youtube.com/v/1xIjydXfePY&hl=en&fs=1...pay attention to Kissinger talking about how George W. Bush may become the seminal President inthe transformation of America into the new worldorder.http://www.youtube.com/v/pVEPlxwlzCE&hl=en&fs=1And here's Dick Cheney's now famous exchange withDavid Rockefeller about how Cheney hid his CFR(Council on Foreign Relations) affiliation from voters in Wyoming...http://www.youtube.com/v/BbnpN07J_zg&hl=en&fs=1Here's another interesting interview with DickCheney in 1994, concerning why we should not have marched into Baghdad in the first Gulf War.Of note: Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton oneyear later in 1995...(my how things changed).http://www.youtube.com/v/csKkdKlLUTc&hl=en&fs=1Historically, how have the global central bankersmade the most money? By financing wars, and the debt, and deficits they cause.I'm sure most of you have seen this video on formerPresident Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell addressto the American people, and his warnings about the growing political, and social influence of the Military Industrial Complex.If you haven't seen his speech, here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/v/8y06NSBBRtY&hl=en&fs=1If you have heard his speech... here is everythingEisenhower warned us about, coming true.I promise you that regardless of whether you area Democrat, or a Republican... whether you supportthe war in Iraq, or you don't... this video belowwill enlighten, inform, and educate you to the realities of what Eisenhower so prescientlywarned us about.This video is a must see. It is 75 minutes long. Bookmark it, and at least watch it later. I assure you, it will not be wasting your time...This is everything Eisenhower warned us about:"Iraq for Sale"http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6621486727392146155And if you think that video was politically slanted,here's Senate testimony about $2.3 Trillion, yes...that's trillion with a "T"... $2.3 Trillion Dollarsunaccounted for from the Department of Defense,and that number comes from the DOD's own auditors.To who's pockets do you think that $2.3 Trillion flowed?And don't forget about the pallets of missing cash fromIraq. Remember this?http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/10/iraq_billions200710"Between April 2003 and June 2004, $12 billion in U.S.currency, much of it belonging to the Iraqi people, was shipped from the Federal Reserve to Baghdad, where it wasdispensed by the Coalition Provisional Authority. Some of the cash went to pay for projects and keep ministriesafloat, but, incredibly, at least $9 billion has gone missing,unaccounted for, in a frenzy of mismanagement and greed."............."$9 Billion in Missing CASH"And for those of you who still think the NWO/New World Orderis a figment of the imagination of conspiracy theory nuts,here's a speech from President John F. Kennedy on the threatof "covert infiltration, and a monolithic conspiracy" fromwhat is now known as -- "The New World Order." In this speech, JFK could easily be talking about FISA, the Patriot Act, and the NeoCon agenda of today...http://www.youtube.com/v/ndi1YLkvEXM&hl=en&fs=1But, what does the War in Iraq, or the NWO have todo with naked short selling?In a word -- everything. Naked shorting is just another"stream of income" for the globalist elite. But, War is themost lucrative, and influential vehicle of bankers.Here's a series of clips from the movie Zeitgeist, with an excellent historic perspective on the Fed,the Great Depression, and the Globalist Elite.J.P. Morgan spreading rumors, creating a bank run, and panic. The Fed rapidly expanding the money supply, then contracting it, and creating a banking collapse,whereby insiders could step in and snatch up assets onthe cheap.Sound familiar? Can you say Bear Stearns, Fannie & Freddie deja vu all over again?This is an excellent historic perspective on the Fed:Part I:http://www.youtube.com/v/_dmPchuXIXQ&hl=en&fs=1Part II:http://www.youtube.com/v/lBZne09Gf5A&hl=en&fs=1Part III:http://www.youtube.com/v/SjUrib_Gh0Y&hl=en&fs=1Part IV:http://www.youtube.com/v/_BVNN1wqw3k&hl=en&fs=1Part V:http://www.youtube.com/v/VPPFgHF9VR4&hl=en&fs=1You can access the movie -- "Zeitgeist" in it's entirety here:http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/For those of you who wish to acquire a better understandingof the mindset of the Rockefellers and the New World Order,here's an interesting interview with Aaron Russo, a personalfriend of the Rockefellers, a major Hollywood Movie Producer(The Rose, Trading Places) and a former candidate for Governorof Nevada who won 26% of the Republican primary vote in 1998. Here's the bio for Russo:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_RussoAnd here's his interview:http://www.youtube.com/v/7nD7dbkkBIA&hl=en&fs=1For any of you who think this is an anti-Republican,politically slanted rant... think again. There wasonly one candidate for real hope, and change in this election - Ron Paul, and he was squeezed out...http://www.youtube.com/v/-jTpQSLCq_Q&hl=en&fs=1In case anyone hasn't figured it out by now, this entireera of billion dollar, single year incomes by hedge fundmanagers, of $100 million dollar homes, of $50 million dollarbonuses, and nine-figure golden parachutes for CEO's whobankrupted their companies... wasn't created by thesecond coming of the "Industrial Revolution", it was created by "The Great Financial Illusion."We didn't build factories and manufacture "Made in America"goods in which we sold to the rest of the world to earnour new-found prosperity. There are not new auto plants, textile mills, or steel yardsdotting the American heartland as monuments to our newfoundprosperity.Just piles of debt, and mountains of derivatives.We didn't create jobs -- we created CDO's.We didn't increase wages in America -- just credit limits.And we didn't lift the standard of living for the middle class-- we destroyed it.Their's and their children's-children.We've allowed America to be mortgaged, looted, and bankrupted.And now we're allowing them to turn our America intotheir Amerika....the clock's ticking, and there isn't much time people.It's not just time to wake up... it's time to act up.Make no mistake about it - we're at war.At least they are... Sadly, some of us won't figure that out, until historyrepeats itself and the once unimaginable, becomes ourreality.Talk to everyone you know about what's going on in themarkets, and with this country. Don't just call your congressman... get in his, or her damn face the nexttime they hold a town hall meeting. Circulate a petition... get a hundred signatures. That'senough to get attention. Send a letter, send fax's, fax's are easy. And make phone calls. Write an op-ed in your local newspaper - educate people about what's goingon with inflation, with the dollar, with the deficits.Take #$%@'n ACTION people, because at this point in time,talk ain't gonna do it.And say a prayer, because the the lady once calledAmerica... surely needs it.SliderOnTheBlackPS:I know that's a helluva lot of video, and a helluvalot of reading. But, hopefully, if you keep an open mind,it will be worth it. You don't have to watch all the videostonight... but, do come back and watch them later.The "Iraq for Sale" movie (75 minutes), the two videoson "Naked Short Selling" and the historic perspectiveon the Fed from the "Zeitgeist" movie... are must see's.Come back when time permits and watch them in theirentireity... you'll be glad you did....and get engaged, and take action.It's not just your future you're fighting for this time,it's your childrens, and their children's.This is a critical turning point in America's history,it's not conspiracy theory, it's here, and it's now.We've come to a crossroads, and you have to choices...Live in their Amerika, or take our America back.
