My Two Cents on LIBOR-GATE
So much has been written on LIBOR-GATE that I have chosen to refrain from the subject until now. It is a generally confusing topic for many not in the financial industry (and many that are) so I want to cut right into the heart of the matter. First of all, in the CFTC’s very own … Read more
Secret Service Shuts Down Eric Holder Protest but Saves us from Al Qaeda!
Another terrorist attack thwarted. Another protest crushed. Take that Al Qaeda! You know the Obama goons couldn’t stand this photo below. Particularly since their only rebuttal to any criticism to the fact this entire Administration appears to be complete and total criminals is to yell “racist!” A huge kudos to this guy for calling out … Read more
Thoughts on Obamacare from a Surgeon and Friend
Over the past six months, I have had the distinct pleasure to become acquainted with Dr. Dave Janda, orthopedic surgeon and the Director and founder of the Institute of Preventative Sports Medicine based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Shortly after recording my first radio interview with him, he sent me his book, The Awakening of a … Read more
The Government is Encouraging More Food Stamp Usage, Calling it “Stimulus”
We have hit a new low ladies and gentleman. Our very own Department of Agriculture is actively trying to push more and more people into the food stamp program, or SNAP. The reason?

Mark Cuban, who wrote software himself, may have a bit more knowledge on the matter than some D.C. prostitute regulator, so I am sure they have contacted him … Read more

Yep, on Face the Nation, Romney stated: “I can assure you if I’m President, the Iranians will have no question but that I will be willing to take military action if necessary to prevent them from becoming … Read more
Computers on Wall Street are Buying and Selling to Themselves!
As if we needed another story to further solidify the running joke that has become the U.S. stock market. In this article from Bloomberg we find out that: High-frequency trading firms are drawing scrutiny from U.S. regulators seeking evidence that they may be distorting market prices by conducting transactions with themselves, said two people with … Read more
Why the American Economy is Chronically Dysfunctional in One Article
This is a must read article from Bloomberg. So the banksters steal billions (if not trillions) from the American economy and then they spit out a couple of million to desperate charities at black tie events in order to feel good about themselves. Robot-man himself, John Thain (I remain unconvinced that he is human), then … Read more
Jimmy Carter the Latest to Bury Obama – Who’s Next?
Powerful and courageous Op-Ed in the NY Times by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Although he doesn’t mention Obama by name the implication is clear. I really think the only way anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together can still support our bankster Puppet in Chief and murderer of American citizens, Barack … Read more
