A Billionaire Lectures Serfs in Davos – Claims “America’s Lifestyle Expectations are Far Too High”

Screen Shot 2015-01-21 at 11.46.47 AMIf you listened closely this morning, you could hear humanity vomit as JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, began to speak at Davos. In what amounted to some of the most egotistical and delusional statements heard at a conference filled with egotistical and delusional participants, Mr. Dimon didn’t disappoint. Here are a couple highlights courtesy of Twitter:

Such shameless insincerity would even make his Best Banker Buddy (BBB) Barry Obama blush. I don’t know about you, but I’m eagerly awaiting Mr. Dimon’s 2028 Presidential run with Chelsea Clinton as running mate.

But I digress. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it has. Enter billionaire Jeff Greene, who’s comments at Davos make Sam Zell look enlightened.

From Bloomberg:

Billionaire Jeff Greene, who amassed a multibillion dollar fortune betting against subprime mortgage securities, says the U.S. faces a jobs crisis that will cause social unrest and radical politics.

“America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said in an interview today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.”

Wait a minute, “we” need to reinvent our whole system of life? I’m curious, Mr. Greene, how specifically will YOU be adjusting your lifestyle expectations? I didn’t think so. Kindly shut the fuck up.

Greene, who flew his wife, children and two nannies on a private jet plane to Davos for the week, said he’s planning a conference in Palm Beach, Florida, at the Tideline Hotel called “Closing the Gap.” The event, which he said is scheduled for December, will feature speakers such as economist Nouriel Roubini.

Apologies, it appears when it comes to Jeff Greene, he is adjusting his expectations in the opposite direction, upward. Jewish Business News reports that:

Billionaire Jeff Greene really does believe that he can get $195 million for his California estate, which just so happens to be the most expensive listing for a residential property in American history.

The 59 year old made his money by betting against the subprime mortgage market that burst in 2008. But many observers think that the $195 million price tag on the Beverly Hills property is just a type of marketing gimmick and that Greene does not honestly expect to get that much money for it.

Greene dispelled these rumors in an interview with the New York Times. “When you consider the value of the land and the quality of the construction. $195 million is really quite reasonable,” he said.

Oh, but there’s more. When Mr. Greene had the audacity to run for the U.S. Senate in Florida back in 2010, salacious details about what went onboard his yacht came out. While I don’t care what he or his friends do in their spare time, this doesn’t seem to vibe with the idea of Americans lowering their lifestyle expectations, does it?

From the Huffington Post:

Working on Greene’s 145-foot Choy Lee yacht was like being “locked” in Studio 54 in its prime. It was nothing short of, “Sex, Drugs, and Techno Music.” Celebrities, “hired” party girls, mayhem, and debauchery. I saw more tits and ass in one night on Jeff Greene’s Summerwind than I have for the past seven years on South Beach.

Greene attempted to dispel reports of the alleged partying that went down on his boat earlier this week.

“When I’m on my boat, we’re kayaking, we’re scuba diving, there’s no wild parties,”said the Senate hopeful at a press conference. “I think that people are trying to associate time I’ve been on my boat when I’ve had some different kinds of colorful guests. They’re trying to associate me with that. But, look, I’m a 55-year-old man. I’m not a partier.”

The “colorful people” alluded to by Greene could include Lindsay Lohan, whoreportedly spent time on the yacht in St. Barth’s last New Year’s Eve, and former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson, who has reportedly partaken in vibrant festivities aboard the vessel.

Peach recalls, “Mike Tyson got on board sometime in late August. I particularly remember serving Tyson a vodka and Red Bull while he was receiving oral sex from a hired entertainer.”

Tyson, now sober, offered a detailed account of time he spent on Greene’s yacht to Sports Illustrated last month.

“This [drug dealer] goes and gets me a big rock of cocaine,” he said. “So pretty soon I got a party going on. I got everything: I got these rugby players. I got these naked girls, I got all these … everything’s going on in the room.” 

Now back to the Bloomberg article:

The billionaire said he’s planning on having dinner tonight with former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, and will attend several private meals and parties throughout the week.

It’s not surprise that such a disingenuous guy would find the time to have dinner with Tony Blair, a celebrated crony capitalist and war criminal. Here are a few Tony Blair lowlights I have showcased previously:

Tony Blair Gets Paid (Again) – Secret $61,000 per Month Contract with Saudis Revealed

Apparently, some lifestyle expectations are more equal than others.

Have a Nice Day:

  1. Unfortunately, these Oligarchies are giving ordinary Jewish people a bad name – it is like all Americans being tarred with the same brush due to what the Bush and Cheney show did. Parochialism is a power weapon in the hands of the manipulators of Mankind – by means of it they divide and conquer. Even these Oligarchs are really richly rewarded scape goats for far more malevolent minds to manipulate. They are in effect middle management to the uber Oligarchies and the rapacious Royals.

    If it is any compensation or consolation at all, it is in my own sincerely held belief that this is all for a greater purpose, to reveal the way in which we, in general, hold others to account for the very things we do, not realizing that in judging them, we judge ourselves, and that the real enemy is that 5th column of our confidence in our own opinions. When this fiat funded Babylon falls, the financial carnage will be far worse than even those “managing” it will be swept away – sort of a chain reaction of unforeseen consequences.

    Mankind blew the opportunity in 2008 to take the correction and start anew, and in this now year of the Jubilee, I see that there will be a reverse Jubilee to those who will not forgive and relent in their “accounts keeping” over others motes while not dealing with the beams in their own eyes.

    Those who profited by the crash are like a stench in the nostrils of God, as are the landlords in our city who are gouging rents due to the EQ’s and our Govt. favoring the landlords. No travesty goes unpunished, and what goes around comes around. So, whose “come arounds” are we dealing with here? The Oligarchs? The plebs and proles being ripped off? All of the above? We are all part of the problem or part of the solution. The Oligarchs and the Hitlers of this world, are symptoms, not causes – they are like puss filled pimples on the body of society, but it takes a whole body to make a disease; a body that needs to be made whole to destroy the disease, and this is a man made disease with only a Divine Remedy…

    As to how someone can become fab-you-louse-ly wealthy betting on the misfortune of another is beyond me. I knew three months ahead the Dow was going to crash on Rosh Hashanah and told my Journo brother it would be called a perfect financial storm, and wrote to a friend in the States and told him as well as others – yet at no time did it appeal or occur to me to profit by it. It is simply not in my nature to profit by the misery of others. Then I think about how this nation was stolen from its original inhabitants who were decimated by the British when they began to identify with Israel and with Britain being like Rome, Egypt and Babylon, and which had stolen their land by conquest and deception. Funny how things go around, and how we do not like being on the receiving end…

  2. I love the Blair selfie that is a riot. Isn’t great when these turds lecture us on how we are living far to luxurious lives and really need to adjust ourselves back to serfdom. Go fuck yourself Mr. Greene and all the rest of your insane psychopath crony Wall Street thieving ilk.

  3. The oligarchs are with us in all civilizations and they go down with us when those societies fall but that is no reason to condemn them when they speak the truth.

    The civilized world is in trouble.and why is obvious. We are a consuming society, made so by the clever leverage of credit for anyone who lives amongst us. This is why our governments, really givenments are hemoraging debt beyond the capacity of the people to ever pay it. Nothing about who has the wealth and who hasn’t means a thing in this context,we are all going to suffer the consequences when we are overwhelmed by our financial malaise,including the oligarchs. Reread the history of the French revolution if you believe in the 90% minority versus the 1% who have it all!

    The stage has been set and the Swiss bank has lit the fuse. The explosion is just building up steam!

  4. By the way, this is the same guy whose bid to become a Florida Democratic senator was derailed when ex crew from his megayacht started coming out of the woodwork with pictures, videos, and stories showcasing what a horrible guy he is.

    Parties with hookers and illegal drugs, treating the crew poorly, not paying bills and so forth. As a 9 year veteran in the yachting industry, I can attest that he and his boat had one of the poorest reputations of anyone in the industry, all well deserved. He denied all the allegations as sour grapes, but I can assure you it’s all true.

    And yet here he is lecturing us to have a “smaller, better existence.” With no due respect, Fuck you, Mr. Greene. You have zero claim to tell anyone how to live a “smaller”, “better” life given your lifestyle choices. Get fucked (and not by a hooker this time).

  5. More frightening than the self-righteous mutterings is the fact this is THEIR REALITY. This is why they can disembowel an entire country’s financial system, wreck millions of lives and still think they are doing God’s work.

    If this is not the best example of just how psychologically damaged these clowns are, nothing is. What I wouldn’t give to see the look on their face as the howling mob drags them from their previously safe mansion and hangs them on hooks. Sic usquequaque ut imbeciles.

  6. “America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said—Maybe Greene could lead by example and dump his McMansion(s) and move into a small duplex.

  7. The writer’s use of vulgarity effectively turns off a sizeable portion of his potential readership, and also brings him down to the same level of the people he is attempting to expose.
    He has just joined the club of people I cannot and will not support.

    • Willard- I read this writer’s work regularly and this is the first time I have seen him use a “vulgar” word. If you ask me the word is entirely appropriate considering the circumstances.

      These globalists use their wealth and connections to steer political endeavors- if not out right buy them. Then the very policies they benefit from cause problems for the rest of the world. The financial industry is a perfect example.

      Let’s not forget that these people pay little to no taxes (with loopholes bought and paid for) and so when this group adjourns with their well thought out “solutions” it will be you and I paying for it.

      This is far more offensive than a “vulgar word.” What they are engaging in is criminal. Your offense is misplaced- I find it disheartening that you would take the time to write this comment yet probably have not contacted your Congressional members once since the 08′ crash.

      Reconsider- at least this writer is working to inform you and not fleece you like your captured government.

    • Actually, no, it doesn’t do that at all. You appear to be among those sincere but hopelessly misguided persons who confuse righteous indignation for vulgarity.

      The obscenity is in the actions and behavior of the moneyed classes, not in the angry rebuke of those who are harmed by them. You’re keen on polishing up the grammatical silverwear while their sole interest is in using it to cut your throat.

      Take a minute to read Michael’s background, what he gave up to do this work–God’s work in its honest sense–and then come back and tell us all he is on the same level as the porcine pedophiles who enjoy lecturing the hoi poloi on how to get by on less.

      Sometimes, the only really appropriate response is a big FUCK YOU. Know what I mean? No, probably not…

    • Willard, go read HuffPost then, ‘kay ? For every ONE reader that MK may have offended by using a ‘bad word’, there are MANY that he has helped enlighten with this column. We need many more journalists/bloggers like MK who is desperately trying to wake up the millions of clueless sheeple before it’s too late. Keep ’em coming Mike !

  8. If you want to convey love, you use words of love.
    If you want to convey vulgarity, you use vulgarity.
    It cannot be properly done any other way.

  9. The people on here whining about the choice of words used in the article are part of the very problem to begin with; they would rather bitch about epithets than deal with the problems causing all the pain and suffering in the world.

    To the shitbags who would kiss the elite’s ass while shouting down the opposition because they use WORKING CLASS language: FUCK OFF AND DIE, YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF WHALE SHIT. Your time is coming, scumbag collaborators.

    Remember what the inmates of Auschwitz did to the asshole collaborator guards who kept their boots on inmate necks to serve Hitler – the flesh was peeled off of their bones with shovels. I can’t say whether you’ll get that exact fate, but you sure as hell deserve it and have it coming…

  10. Do Billionaires Know They and Serfs Depend Totally on the Same Creator?

    In response to my request yesterday for comments on “The Great Social Experiment of 1945-2015” [1], Robert K. Wilcox, author of the most definitive book on the history of Japan’s atomic bomb project [2] – described this as:

    1. “a giant issue of monumental proportions”
    and
    2. “the greatest secret of the universe – creation, God”

    His response helped me realize that my entire research career has been the re-discovery of information my research mentor – the late Professor Paul Kazuo Kuroda – probably already knew: This greatest secret of the universe was hidden from the public in 1945:

    Modern nuclear physics and ancient spiritual teachings agree:

    God (a conscious and intelligent Mind) uses neutron repulsion to make galaxies of stars, solar systems that orbit the stars, and worlds consisting of atoms, chemical compounds and living organisms with conscious awareness of their surroundings, memories and the passage of time.

    Kuroda and probably others were aware of it – the post-WWII “secret” symbolically displayed as a point of origin of sun rays emerging from the center of the flag of the Land of the Rising Sun (1870-1945) and also represented by the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami in the Shinto religion [3].

    This post-WWII “secret” is consistent with basic spiritual insights of many different religions and philosophies, e.g., [4].

  11. No comment except for Michael, whom I would like to thank for allowing the raw and uncensored comments, posted above. ^

    Thank God this site still values – and respects – freedom of speech, no matter how harsh it may be.

    Yet another reason I keep coming back…
