All the posts and articles so far miss the fundamental point. The wrong assumption is that gov't and insiders can in some way expected to be honest, when its stated trades will be "completely anonymous".
SEC can examine whether public corps play according to the rules, because records are kept.
This ridiculous DOD Death Pool has no such accountability, and is obviously the perverted amalgam of classic market software and theory, and spooks with too much time on their hands.
Clearly the "hundreds of billions" of dollars are immediately susceptible to being rigged by anyone with an operational capability. Who has the most operational capability on the planet?
This is wishful thinking on a galactic scale by death-freaks who are parasites on the Republic, and who have driven this country closer to the brink than any foreign enemy. They probably were encouraged by the results of 911 futures contracts that have stayed confidential. And maybe, just maybe, this is an attempt to create a cover story should those trading in 911 deaths ever be disclosed ("oh, well, we were just trying to increase the level of intellence, you see, trading on things that might happen, you understand")
Those responsible would be hanged or imprisoned in a previous century. They should at least be fired, immediately, if the administration has any hope of salvaging its reputation from the designation of the Party of Death.
Nothing less than full disclosure of the Public's business is acceptable, who thought this up, who approved it, worked on it, release of all transcripts and meeting memos, everything paid for by tax dollars, which is everything. The "sources and methods" ruse won't fly on this one. |
