"We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power."

What pure power means you will understand presently? We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”…Know more

Bear Market Is Not Over…History Should Be Our Guide - by Ziad K Abdelnour

One of the main features of the easy money economy of the Roaring Twenties was that investors could take advantage of investment margin leverage of 90%. This leverage was the fundamental reason behind the sharp run up in stocks, and this leverage left investors susceptible to market selloffs, which would come to pass in later years. All secular bears start by a triggering event that begins the de-leveraging process of the previous growth cycle. The Roaring Twenties, stock market crash and subsequent depression is a perfect example of this....Know more

The Entire Strategy is to keep People from Getting the Facts

It is a fact that the study of financial fraud is still receiving little attention if any. Practically no research institutes exist; collaboration between economists and criminologists is rare; in the leading departments there are few specialists and very few students….and economists have soft-pedaled the role of fraud in every crisis they examined, including the Savings & Loan debacle, the Russian transition, the Asian meltdown and the dot.com bubble. They continue to do so now.
Is it possible for mortgage originators, ratings agencies, underwriters, insurers and supervising agencies NOT to have known that the system of housing finance had become infested with fraud?
Every statistical indicator of fraudulent practice – growth and profitability – suggests otherwise. Every examination of the record so far suggests otherwise. The very language in use: “liars’ loans,” “ninja loans,” “neutron loans,” and “toxic waste,” tells you that people knew. I have also heard the expression, “IBG,YBG;” the meaning of that bit of code was: “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone.”…Know more
