Inside Job - Forget Werewolves and Vampires, this Horror is pure Wall Street!!

Time to crack open the popcorn and hotdogs and remind ourselves why Lloyd Blankfein deserves $18M a year, or twice last years pay, for a job well done earning Goldman Sachs 38% less this year

The Movie which ZeroHedge calls "the scariest Wall Street "horror movie" ever produced" - watch Charles Ferguson's run down of the GFC

"INSIDE JOB"

Enjoy!! Embedded below or download here (may get taken down)

How one and a half hours can reingite a fury not felt for a year! There has been so much going on in the last couple of years and then over the last 10 before that, you can get a bit numb to it. Yes perhaps I was suffering from some form of Black Swan Fatigue. But I feel soooooo mmmaaaaaaaadddddd again after watching that movie that I have veins popping out my head (#atnotreallybutforeffect). Awesome stuff Charles Ferguson ... you have earned yourself the position of my second favourite Ferguson after this guy ...

But just to be slightly critical he missed out on properly explaining the insidious nature of the fraud. The money/paper trail between borrower and ultimate lender or the lack thereof. When the "CDOs failed" (I don’t believe it is that straight forward) they were written down to nothing for your regular punter like the Norwegian village pension fund. But this can’t be right can it? In the case of the Lehmans CDOs forced, at times unwillingly, on to councils and charities across Australia, they were backed by US Mortgage Securities. Or were they? No. If they were then you know what, I’d be flying over to the US to take possession of my assets if I was left holding one of those pieces of shit ... sorry “shitty deals”

Okay so something is missing here. What happened to the assets in the CDO? Who got them? Who owns them now?

The JPM CDO handbook from 2001 hints at why no-one gets it ... the third bloody page and you are already confused by the line “the CDO sells the CDOs” ... huh? Okay well a little thought and that is easy enough to move on from ... but this is part of the problem, since no-one really understood what they were buying the banksters were able to completely screw everyone from every direction and still are.

The GFC was fraud on the galactic scale ... the set up through dodgy deregulation lobbying, the pushing of shit loans onto ignorant punters, the financial alchemy of repackaging shit into AAA debt, the knowledge that this stuff was shit but the pushing of the shit onto trusting others, the betting against these shitty deals, the purposeful destruction of Lehmans, the TARP bail-out, the big screw you to everyone outside the banking industry left holding CDOs, the theft of the CDO assets, and on and on and on ... and then ForeclosureGate ... either the bastards know who owns the assets and can therefore transfer assets to the holders of the (apparently worthless) CDOs or they have no right whatsoever to those properties they are foreclosing on ...

If they don’t know where the title lies then 1) they have simply stolen their bonuses and pay from the shareholders as they were not doing their jobs in the slightest 2) they need to go to jail under market disclosure laws 3) they need to go to jail for accounting fraud 4) they need to go to jail for tax fraud 5) they need their heads cut off.

Hank Paulson knew EXACTLY what was going on as he was head of Goldman Sachs when they came up with their schemes. Hank Paulson knew he and his mates were the main beneficiary of the TARP bailout. Hank Paulson has elephantitis balls. Hank Paulson must be hanged.

Number of people in jail - ZERO

Now that is one shitty deal!!

Radiation Update 3: Fucked Up Shima

Okay so things are going really poorly now. To start with the good news for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere is that levels are holding normal for us down south (at least over Melbourne Australia for now):



For those of you reading this in the Northern Hemisphere dont take this as a welcome sign that there is somewhere you can flee too. Dont forget this IS Australia. We will shoot at you and lock you in torture camps if you turn up on our shores as 'refugees' from this nightmare.

As far as the Northern Hemisphere goes we have noticed wildly oscilating readings now on the Californian live feed we have been tracking. Not good. Some sort of event is going on. Lets just hope those living on the West Coast of America are smart enough to be taking precautions and not wandering out to their deaths like the fishermen of Louisiana did with their Corexit party last year.

This uptick in activity is probably due to the uptick in activity in Japan itself. Somehow even as the Dai-ichi mess gets worse now a second plant has begun to show signs of strife. The Fukushima Daini plant was showing smoke over its reactor one turbine house. Which leads us to ask What the FUCK?? Didnt you switch that thing off the other week as you evacuated the thing?? What are these monkeys up to??

So by my count we have Four Reactors at the Dai-ichi plant in strife and at least one in strife at the Daini plant leading to a total of FIVE reactors going spastic at the moment. When we compare this to the single reactor out of the Four Reactor Chernobyl plant that caused all that mayhem in the 80's we surely have some serious shit on our hands?? Although apparently not its only Farts we are dealing with:



What a load of bollocks. We even today had the admission from the IAEA that in at least one of the Reactors at Dai-ichi as it Meltsdown we may acheive Nuclear Fission begining again. So called Recriticality. But hang on dont those control rods shut that sort of thing down?? I dont know enough about the process so if any Physicists or Al Queda are reading this perhaps you can jump on the comments and enlighten us as to how the nuclear process works.

Another intriguing query has also arisen now that reports raw Plutonium has been found outside the plant arise. If the spent fuel rod pools in some of the complexs sit in the upper parts of the building then how on earth did they survive the blast that ripped through some of them:



How did the rods themselves not become projectiles shot like missiles out of this explosion?? An interesting in depth analysis of this possibility can be found here.

Aside from the technical aspects of what must now surely be viewed as a completely apocalyptic scenario (STOP telling us its safe you bastards!!) this once more shows the interesting socio-political aspects of the fact that we are now completely under Corporate occupation around the World. It is astounding that this whole recovery effort has been under the control of the PRIVATE COMPANY (TEPCO) that owns the reactor. Surely in an event so serious the whole thing should have immediately been occupied by Government forces and the process of handling the disaster shifted to a Government response? But of course it was not in our new modern world of disaster. And of course the Private Company made decisions based NOT on the best interests of Japan or the world but on their profit margin.

Yesterday the head of company announced that four of the Reactors would be decommissioned now at the plant: "Looking at current conditions, I have to say there are no options other than decommissioning reactors 1-4," Tsunehisa Katsumata said.

Wait so only NOW weeks later has decomissioning been considered?? The minute they started blowing up shouldnt this have been a shut down and decomissioning project?? Apparently not. So it seems all along they were trying to save the reactors and minimise damage so they could CONTINUE TO USE THEM!!!!!! No wonder its been such a slow and painstaking process. The things are dangerous radiation emitting planet killers at this point. Dont hold back do whatever you have to to destroy the things safely!!! But no in the interests of TEPCO's profit they were trying to save and restore them!!!

This is exactly what we witnessed last year when BP somehow got jurisidiction over the entire Gulf Of Mexico and was allowed to go on its private rampage of a genocide and ecocide spree with the US government subservient to the whole thing even though supposedly it was on THEIR sovereign territory. And for all those who claimed that the numerous predictions of a Corexit apocalypse were wrong and thus the event was a big splashy nothing (you know who you are) turns out your WRONG!! These things just sometimes take time to fully eventuate.

[HappyAppleStarlight says: No not the Dolphins!!! Why haven't the Space Dolphins come down to save them?]


So really moving forward the Governments of the world need to F^%KING DO THEIR JOB and actually declare war on the Corporations for the good of the populations they supposedly represent. If they dont then they are pointless and their is no need for a Government at all. All you fat cat Parlimentarians and Congressmen can F^&K OFF to Fukushima for the rest of your natural lives. Which apparently should be greatly increased by the wonderful benefits of living in a radiation zone according to your own theories. Enjoy mofos!!!!!!

A Brief Historical Interlude, To Clear The Palate

BUSH: "American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free it's people and to defend the world from grave danger." March 19, 2003 [1]

[Ferretous says: lol, in Hicks' day when you win the presidency "you go into this smokey room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum fucks who got you in there ... and this little film screen comes down ... and its a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before" ... in our time you meet the "twelve industrliaist capitalist scum fucks" prior to getting elected and then once in someone takes Air Force One for a low altitude spin over Ground Zero in New York]

OBAMA: "Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world." March 19, 2011 [2]

[WhiteyRound Eye says: I noticed with interest the date they launched this. The Pentagon loves their symbology in the use of dates. Why did they not wait one extra day to begin the air strikes?? They had waited so long as it was. It really would not have altered materially what has since transpired on the ground. But no they chose to launch the strike dead on the same day as the Iraq mess began. Bastards. Also on Bill Hicks' note on the fact we are getting fucked in the ass it brings to mind some classic scenes we saw in Brussels the other day as Belgium was also rocked by massive anti Austerity riots in the recent days:]

La Grande Intifada: The Media Is Psychotic

Here is a small roundup of the Media coverage of the London Intifada.

Radiation Update

Here are today's readings out of Melbourne. Slightly higher than before but still within a range to be expected. Its possible we are seeing a slightly elevated reading due to solar flare activity which we seem to be witnessing a huge amount of.

Thankfully those of us in the Southern Hemisphere are still being spared any physical outcomes from the Nuclear Disaster. However we have not been spared the outrageous disinformation attack from the nuclear lobby (and strangely somehow some in the GREEN Lobby have joined them) in saying this disaster proves nuclear is 100 per cent safe. This outrageous and disgusting disinformation (its rude to the workers bravely sacrificing their lives to stop this mess if nothing else) has reached a peak in the land of balls out bullshit and lying at all costs no matter what is going on (the USofA).

[Ferretous says: yeah so safe that USS Ronald Reagan just left port in Japan, sailed beyond an extended potential fallout zone and scrubbed their decks for radiation. But we all know what a bleeding heart leftie Ronald Reagan was. Check out the Disinfo in that article. The following two sentences sit right next to each other LOL

1) "THE aircraft carrier USS George Washington was moved this week from its Japanese port to avoid a potentially costly and complex clean-up to remove traces of radiation, the US Navy revealed."
2) "The carrier did not face an acute, near-term radiation threat that would have forced its departure from Yokosuka"

Ah yes, top class reporting!]

[WhiteyRound Eye says: Notice the disinformation here. Even the age can't keep up. Earlier in the crisis the USS Ronald Reagan was pulled back for radiation fears. And that photo seems to show the deck of the Ronald Reagan being swabbed. Yet the text of the story indicates the George Washington is being pulled back. So I wonder what's going on and how many ships have now been pulled back. Given that these ships are nuclear powered as well you would think that the US Military has the longest history of dealing with Reactors and Nuclear Radiation. And their behaviour does not seem to indicate that they think its so amazingly safe. So come on Fux News you are supposed to love the US military why are you betraying them by suggesting that they are overreacting and they should be giving their crews shore leave for skin treatments and facial peels in the Core Pools?? This disinfo is probably the worst we have ever witnessed.]


Talk about a nation that has a "State Television" channel that is completely devoid of reality. Matches completely its Arabic counterparts. City might be burning but a shot of a calm street will be on state TV. Nuclear contamination might be breaking out but suddenly the past 50 years of Physics just changed so don't worry its GREAT for you!!! (In fairness to O'Reilly at least he couldn't even let that slide through completely unchallenged. He kept them at least one step back from total Arab State Media for now at least. Still close enough.)

[Ferretous says: #alittlebitofknowledgeisdangerous ... there are some significant scientists who are delving into Radiation Hormesis and yes it actually could be true that a little radiation could be good BUT ... it has to be the right type of radiation and would need to be somewhat controlled. The radiation from fallout from a meltdown or reactor release is NOT this type of radiation. Also ingesting radiation through contaminated foods or inhaling radioactive particles can be extremely dangerous and almost guarantees problems. This is where a little bit of information can be disinformative even if it is true. NUANCE is the key to truth ... Nuance hah check out the wiki page dedicated to Nuance ... exemplifies the lack of awareness of adherence to nuanced argument since the internet was born ... FOX doesn't know the meaning of the word truth and doesn't have the patience for nuance ... good on Bill Reilly though (uuurrrghh shudder) ... I don't think Radiation Hormesis principles suggest that Nuclear Meltdowns should be welcomed - and Ann Coulter is a prize biatch]



Really this is just getting ridiculous. If you are going to break your contract with the populations you are 'controlling' or 'informing' to such an extent that you just become ridiculous parodies like the "Information Minister" of Iraq was during the invasion of 2003 then you are lost.



No one will believe anything you say even when you are trying to deliver real information. And the people will have lost all respect of you and the entire system of death and misery you are peddling. Just give up and fuck off to Dubai already. Or even better if you love Radiation so much go to Fukushima. There is a movement building to buy a ticket for Ann Coulter to head over there:



We should send some from the Australian mining fraternity and Parliament there along with her. Go on you greedy bastards. Boil up some radioactive spinach in the melting core pools and have a party for us all. Prove to us how safe your precious Radiation is. We are all over your shit.

URGENT REQUEST TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!!

It has become clear that a nation is terrorising peaceful protesters and its army indiscriminately killing civilians!!!

First we have seen in one of the states of this nation called Virginia a number of peaceful protesters gathering to show solidarity for a member of the armed forces that is being imprisoned and tortured for letting the world know what is going on in his country. Many former soldiers were present at this rally this was no "hippy mungbean fest". And just like we are seeing across the other countries facing dictators now the Police were sent in AGAINST these Army personnel. And these are not just standard police but full scale paramilitary police with masked faces and loaded automatic weapons facing off against peaceful protesters:



Just like we have seen in Egypt this is night of the long knives stuff.

And as this despotic nation turns on peaceful protesters in its own borders its military has death squads overseas slaughtering civilian populations.



It is quite obvious that action must be taken immediately against this rogue nation. The international community must immediately begin an air war over this nation, the United States of America and carpet bomb this country from sea to shining sea in order to 'save the protesters' and stop the killing of civilians.

Hopefully a missile or two will find its way to Obama's rat hole and turn his Nobel Peace Prize into a glowing chunk of melted metal that is just the right size for insertion in the mad bastards anus!!!

Either way it seems only fair the UN should immediately sanction air strikes on the United States of America. If nothing else to safeguard all the oil supplies and strategic storage reserves that come from this nation. Think of the Oil people!! SAVE THE OIL BOMB AMERICA!

Total Agnotological Awareness

Awesome. Keiser and Co with the goods again. This time an episode that really delves into why there is so much Disinformation around at the moment:




Its using Agnotology that allowed the Uranium industry of Australia to announce today that there will be no threat to human health with the disaster in Japan.

Yeah right thats why the US military wont allow its members to get too much exposure and why large areas are being evacuated at huge cost and difficulty in the already disaster wracked area. If its so safe why not just leave everyone where they are and let everyone eat the radioactive spinach? Why refer to the brave workers trying to halt the meltdown as Nuclear Samurai and refer to their mission as a 'suicide' mission?? BECAUSE ITS NOT FREAKING SAFE YOU GREEDY MINE BASTARDS.

Of course we will still probably mine such materials for radiological health applications. But to say nuclear power is just totally safe like some at the Australian conference so dismissivly did surely gives us the right to attempt to capture and put on trial such CEO's in self defence as they threaten to exterminate the entire species with their greed?
