David Carr in the New York Times, in an rather anodyne article given what is at stake, gave an overview of what is wrong with the bills, namely, a lot. Even if you accept the proponents’ dubious claims about the losses from “rouge” foreign websites ($58 billion!), the bills probably won’t fix that problem and will create a host of new ones. Despite assertions that it would create jobs, it would actually deter technology startups, undermine scientific journals, and could fragment the Internet domain name system. It’s tantamount to making the public wear ankle bracelets to combat shoplifting.<br /><br />So why is the American Bankers Association one of the sponsors of a bill that seems awfully remote from its terrain? The bill allows anyone to send a complain about a purported SOPA violation and get the site disappeared. This faster and more brutal than the execution of Wikileaks via cutting off its access to payment networks. From TechDirt in December (emphasis theirs):<br /><br />Oh no, this isn’t crazy at all, it’s authoritarian. Imagine how long Goldman666 or Matt Taibbi or Karl Denninger or yours truly would be around with this rule. Wikileaks demonstrates that even Swedish domiciled sites are not safe. <br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/01/why-banks-back-sopa-the-bring-the-chinese-internet-to-america-bill.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-8946970885823112272012-01-11T11:48:01.399-07:002012-01-11T11:48:01.399-07:00Your being Duped America

The internet is certainly an important factor in this change in beliefs, as is the economic devastation that has plagued the nation.<br /><br />Whether this recognition is coming quickly enough to offset the totalitarian trends is moot. The recognition is beginning after government has taken control of much of the economy and society. As a betting man, I believe the move toward totalitarianism will continue — for awhile. Longer term, probably defined in decades rather than years, the American people will become aroused enough to take back their country and individualism. Freedom is a part of our genetic make-up. When it is apparent to enough people what is happening, Atlas will shrug, or punch back.<br /><br />http://www.economicnoise.com/2012/01/05/the-corrupt-state/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-84214028034075006142012-01-11T09:01:28.048-07:002012-01-11T09:01:28.048-07:00The obvious solution, though it is unimaginable in...The obvious solution, though it is unimaginable in our managed perception paradigm, is to mark the debt down to market. <br />You could do it yourself, since your servicer, your politicians, your banks, and the creators of that system certainly won’t.<br /><br />But could you imagine sending a letter to your mortgage servicer telling them that you have analyzed the true market value of your home, and found it to be 45,000 dollars less than your current principle, and that you have calculated the new mortgage payment, applying the interbank lending rate plus 1% (more than fair) and will begin sending them the new payment, based on your new principle, and new rate of say 1.5%?<br /><br />Good luck with that. .. and yet … that is exactly what every mortgage holder in the world should do. Facebook revolution anyone?<br /><br />And if this was “imaginable” enough to go forward, when the banks refused, people could hold the line and begin defaulting on their mortgages in so great a number, we would force a one time emergency revaluation to clear debt from the system and stabilize the marketplace such that both bank balance sheets, and the real economy, are at an equilibrium. And a true global recovery could begin, this time on the backs of thieves who are quite well off after all, and currently completely in control of the economy.<br /><br />My friends, who would have the balls to get the ball rolling on this? Especially now that the classe politique has just postured with some interesting preparations to stave off that very event: Homeland Security “monitoring” of social media and Obama’s outrageous, un-Constitutional prececent of preventive detention.<br /><br />Big Brother has it covered.Facebook Homeoiwner Revolutionhttp://letthemfail.us/archives/11506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-12392727196980529892012-01-11T08:52:55.843-07:002012-01-11T08:52:55.843-07:00ron paul is being kept from the race because he co...ron paul is being kept from the race because he could beat obama. the fix is in this election like the last. like when the republicans offered the weakest electoral combo in history against obama (only way he could win). they're attempting to put the weakest candidate that has no chance of winning up. obama was funded by the bankers and insiders and the opposition is controlled and will lose. <br /><br />ron paul is merely there to represent the disenfranchised and acts as a steam valve to release pressure. he's an insider too. wake up people, both parties and their shills are only there to tell you what you wanna hear and continue the policies which wipe out the middle class.Edward Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921604039808598308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-50695411347703446902012-01-11T08:50:15.714-07:002012-01-11T08:50:15.714-07:00My AV showing that a virus tried to download.

Senior former regulators are willing to be quoted by name asserting that Obama’s (not Bush’s) financial regulatory leaders are blocking lawsuits against fraudulent financial elites and their anti-regulatory co-conspirators because they fear embarrassment. That would be a disgraceful policy. Indeed, it is hard to think of a worse reason for granting the elite white-collar criminals that caused the crisis and the Great Recession immunity from prosecution. The fact that Obama has no response rebutting this grave charge against his administration’s integrity sounds loud, but not proud. <br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/01/bill-black-more-proof-of-obama-policy-of-covering-up-for-elite-financial-criminals.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-90527865796929753552012-01-10T13:41:20.913-07:002012-01-10T13:41:20.913-07:00This could never ever happen in the gold/silver ma...This could never ever happen in the gold/silver market???hmmmm...lol...the cftc is a joke<br /><br /><br />AU Optronics group conspiracy cost billions: prosecutor<br /><br />(Reuters) - Executives met over 60 times at luxury hotels to fix prices of liquid crystal display panels, a conspiracy which illegally cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars, a U.S. prosecutor said in court on Tuesday.<br /><br />The government embarked on a rare criminal trial against a publicly traded company, AU Optronics Corp, as lawyers delivered opening statements in a San Francisco federal court.<br /><br />"Instead of competing, these executives and these corporations were conspiring," Peter Huston, an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, told jurors.<br /><br />But Christopher Nedeau, an attorney for AU Optronics, countered that AU Optronics "competed fiercely." The exchange of information between companies is not illegal, Nedeau said, and is necessary to survive in the industry.<br /><br />Executives kept notes of their secret meetings, Huston said, and AU personnel attended almost all of those sessions. In addition to picking prices, executives also set production targets at those meetings, he said, in order to manage global supply.<br /><br />"Ladies and gentlemen, the documents don't lie," Huston said.<br /><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/10/us-auoptronics-trial-idUSTRE8091VA20120110?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
