it amazes me that american j6p collectively fail to either (1) see the dark implications, (2) appreciate the shadowy possibilities, and/or (3) be fearful of the known unknowns.

freedom is not a birth right,
but a reward, but only to the deserving.

as the collective fails to be deserving, the reward will surely be lost.

another example is the proposal of having the irs operate the national healthcare bureaucracy - insane.

given that obama is ultimately responsible and accountable, he is either stupid, which i doubt, or evil, which i used to suspect, and am now convinced.

what is the point of expending so much energy to fight global communism only to have the core hijacked ?

let us watch n brief based on above premise and wait a bit for definitive conclusion on the truth.

Another Goldman executive named to key government post as its profits skyrocket
[Updated below - Update II (Sat.) - Update III (Sat.) - Update IV (Sat.)]

Apparently, the U.S. government didn't have enough Goldman Sachs executives in key financial and regulatory positions, so the following happened this week:

A Goldman Sachs executive has been named the first "chief operating officer" of the Securities and Exchange Commission's "enforcement" division.

The market watchdog says Adam Storch, vice president in Goldman Sachs' Business Intelligence Group, is assuming the new position of managing executive of the SEC division.

The move comes as the SEC revamps its enforcement efforts following the agency's failure to uncover Bernard Madoff's massive fraud scheme for nearly two decades despite numerous red flags.

UPDATE: Business Insider has more details on Storch, the new COO of SEC Enforcement: He's "29", and has worked at Goldman Sachs for the last 5 years -- since he was 24 years old. I'm sure there was nobody more qualified for that position and that he'll be an absolutely relentless and fearsome force in helping the SEC enforce applicable laws and regulations.

UPDATE II: I owe Adam Storch an apology for unfairly questioning whether he's really the most qualified person for the position of COO in SEC enforcement. After all, in 2002, he was named as a Co-Winner by SUNY-Buffalo of the prestigious Intern of the Year Award, for his sterling summer work in sorting mail and fetching coffee at Deloitte & Touche (h/t thelastnamechosen).
