"They're Looting America in Broad Daylight .....
Right Under Your Nose."

re: ["Slider, Please respond to this disturbing rant.
"The Greatest Crime in History."]

financialsense.com

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 America
in broad daylight by greedy Wall Street insiders,
facilitated by corrupt politicians, and financed by
puppet central bankers controlled by the globalist,
new world order elite.

I know, I know... some of you are already rolling your
eyes...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 your
question 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 of
Overstock.com.

Before you dismiss Byrne as a kook, watch his presentation.
His presentation, along with the video from Bloomberg, will
dispel any notions that you may have, that naked short selling
is about shady characters working out of bucket shops, or
boiler rooms in New Jersey. Because it's not. It's about
Broker Dealers working out of corner offices on Wall and Broad.

Here's the Bloomberg Video:

bloomberg.com

And here is Byrne's power point slide presentation - which
in words and pictures, will educate you as to the mechanics
of naked short selling. Whether you agree, or disagree,
like, or despise Byrne... it's a very educational video
that will make the entire subject of naked short selling
understandable. Watch it - period.

businessjive.com

This subject is something that I and many others here have
commented 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) been
dismissed as either conspiracy theory hogwash, or as bitter,
partisan political rants, as was this one, which I posted
nearly 2 1/2 years ago...

"The Most Profitable Crime in the History of the World!"
Message 22173158

From 1789 to the year 2000 -- it took 42 prior US
Presidents 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 of
government debt...that now rests not just upon the shoulders
of U.S. Taxpayers...but, now upon the shoulders of their
children...and their children's-children.

That my friends... is both the greatest theft in the History
of 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't
matter....in fact why are you even paying attention to the
debt & deficits behind the curtain.... you should be
participating in the robust, inflation free economy and
be damn thankfull for what Bush #43 has done for the
American 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% of
what your present house was worth... we even let you do it
with 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 spend
your money on.

-- and you economists... and hawkish politicans like Ron Paul
of 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 past
about anything before ?

And as far as worrying about what rising Energy prices are
doing to the US Economy ?

Don't Worry -- Be Happy !

-- You've got the Bush/Cheney/Halliburton/JamesBaker/Saudi/Exxon
Energy Policy protecting you !

Don't pay any attention to the fact that Japan has added
23 LNG Terminals and the US has only added 4.

Don't pay any attention to the fact that France has added 53
nuclear power plants in the same timeframe that the US has
added 1.

Don't pay any attention to the fact that China has seen the
light and has 20+ Nuclear Power facilities coming online.

The Bush Energy Plan...is working !

At least for the Investment Bankers who increased their
investment in the US commodity futures markets from $15
Billion in 2003 to over $100 Billion today -- as recently
reported by Fimat USA's John Kilduff on CNBC.

Shame on Aunt Millie - for not allocating an adequate portion
of her Social Security check to Natural Gas Futures -- it's
not our fault she's shivering in the dark, cold and having to
eat kibbles and bits out of a can... this is a Free Market
Economy ...she had the same opportunities as the derivatives
unit from Goldman had."

"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's
strongest banks were going to band together and form
a "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 is
the director of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise
Oversight, commonly known as OFHEO.

His job is to oversee the GSE's like Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. 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 absolutely
end up funding the ultimate bailout of the GSE's. Because
the GSE's are going to fund the bailout of the banks and
now the investment banks.

Fannie & Freddie's mortgage market share has now grown
a 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 eased
their lending standards.

Now given that they have the same underlying "credit crisis"
problems as Countrywide, and Bear Stearns... can you imagine
anyone offering up a solution that would allow Countrywide &
Bear Stearns to increase their market share by +50%, to lower
their capital base, and to widen and loosen their lending
standards?

Does that sound like recipe for a fix, or a recipe for
disaster?

My friends, we have just witnessed a historic turning point.
And that turning point was not about the subprime mortgage
mess, it wasn't about the collapse of housing, not about the
credit crisis, and it wasn't about the Fed bailout out of the
investment banks.

It was the death of America's middle class as we now know it.

And that death was delivered by the greatest transfer of
wealth in all of history. A transfer that happened in just
8 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 is
now collapsing from the weight of a pile of it's own worthless
derivative paper.

And what they've left you and I - is rampant inflation, a
hollowed out Dollar, deficits as far and high - as the eye
can see, a collapsing economy, and unfunded liabilities in
social security, medicare and the GSE's, for which you and I,
our children, and our children's - children - will spend
three 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 by
2040, 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 of
those Wall St. fat cats who just sucked America dry -
care? ...given how capital gains & private equity firms
are taxed?

And how is our government going to fix all these
problems?

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 be
bankrupt very quickly. But, instead of going bankrupt -
our government just piles on more, and more debt onto the
backs of our children's - children.

And if you think Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or even
John 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 the
mouths of Gordon Brown, Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, George
H.W. Bush, and David Rockefeller & Company. Let them tell you
in 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 being
bankrupted, and our markets looted... those wishing
to bring America to heel under a New World Order,
are no longer even hiding in the shadows, or behind
gated walls... they're openly talking about it to
the likes of Charlie Rose, FOX, and CNN...

Here's Gordon Brown, George H.W. Bush, and
Henry Kissinger...

youtube.com

...pay attention to Kissinger talking about how
George W. Bush may become the seminal President in
the transformation of America into the new world
order.

youtube.com

And here's Dick Cheney's now famous exchange with
David Rockefeller about how Cheney hid his CFR
(Council on Foreign Relations) affiliation from
voters in Wyoming...

youtube.com

Here's another interesting interview with Dick
Cheney in 1994, concerning why we should not
have marched into Baghdad in the first Gulf War.

Of note: Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton one
year later in 1995...(my how things changed).

youtube.com

Historically, how have the global central bankers
made the most money? By financing wars, and the
debt, and deficits they cause.

I'm sure most of you have seen this video on former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address
to 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:

youtube.com

If you have heard his speech... here is everything
Eisenhower warned us about, coming true.

I promise you that regardless of whether you are
a Democrat, or a Republican... whether you support
the war in Iraq, or you don't... this video below
will enlighten, inform, and educate you to the
realities of what Eisenhower so presciently
warned 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"

video.google.com

And 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 Dollars
unaccounted 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 from
Iraq. Remember this?

vanityfair.com

"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 was
dispensed by the Coalition Provisional Authority.

Some of the cash went to pay for projects and keep ministries
afloat, 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 Order
is a figment of the imagination of conspiracy theory nuts,
here's a speech from President John F. Kennedy on the threat
of "covert infiltration, and a monolithic conspiracy" from
what 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...

youtube.com

But, what does the War in Iraq, or the NWO have to
do with naked short selling?

In a word -- everything. Naked shorting is just another
"stream of income" for the globalist elite. But, War is the
most 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 on
the cheap.

Sound familiar? Can you say Bear Stearns, Fannie &
Freddie deja vu all over again?

This is an excellent historic perspective on the Fed:

For those of you who wish to acquire a better understanding
of the mindset of the Rockefellers and the New World Order,
here's an interesting interview with Aaron Russo, a personal
friend of the Rockefellers, a major Hollywood Movie Producer
(The Rose, Trading Places) and a former candidate for Governor
of Nevada who won 26% of the Republican primary vote in 1998.

Here's the bio for Russo:

en.wikipedia.org

And here's his interview:

youtube.com

For any of you who think this is an anti-Republican,
politically slanted rant... think again. There was
only one candidate for real hope, and change in this
election - Ron Paul, and he was squeezed out...

youtube.com

In case anyone hasn't figured it out by now, this entire
era of billion dollar, single year incomes by hedge fund
managers, of $100 million dollar homes, of $50 million dollar
bonuses, and nine-figure golden parachutes for CEO's who
bankrupted their companies... wasn't created by the
second 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 earn
our new-found prosperity.

There are not new auto plants, textile mills, or steel yards
dotting the American heartland as monuments to our newfound
prosperity.

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 into
their 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 history
repeats itself and the once unimaginable, becomes our
reality.

Talk to everyone you know about what's going on in the
markets, and with this country. Don't just call your
congressman... get in his, or her damn face the next
time they hold a town hall meeting.

Circulate a petition... get a hundred signatures. That's
enough 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 going
on 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 called
America... surely needs it.

SliderOnTheBlack

PS:I know that's a helluva lot of video, and a helluva
lot of reading. But, hopefully, if you keep an open mind,
it will be worth it. You don't have to watch all the videos
tonight... but, do come back and watch them later.

The "Iraq for Sale" movie (75 minutes), the two videos
on "Naked Short Selling" and the historic perspective
on the Fed from the "Zeitgeist" movie... are must see's.

Come back when time permits and watch them in their
entireity... 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.
