Sorry I see nothing amusing about the vampire squid except that Matt Taibbi has the best characterization
“The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money”.
and Mr faux ‘hope and change’ Obama sold out.
Both should get their comeuppance…..

The SPECTRE part is beyond truth.
If the sheeple only understood.

Are you experiencing unanswered prayer? Does God turn a deaf ear to some of your desperate pleas for healing, finances, or protection? Fear not, a house a gratitude has no place for fear to hide. Be gracious for the obscene profits and bonuses on the backs on the people. Oh I call BS. Lord Blankfein isn’t going to answer any of my prayers. or was the Lloyd Almighty played by …. hhmmmmm ?

The SPECTRE reference is good

That is correct! Lloyd Blankein works for me – Ernst Stavro Blofeld, head of SPECTRE!

@OT: This frog stupidly got so riled up he jumped out of the pot for now.
WTF? “Core” inflation excludes food and energy? So, at least there are no sheeple out there dumb enough to swallow that. They’re pricing things.
So all this fed BS about CPI is just that. BS.
But it affects one of the largest fed promises: Social Security. Thanks Bill. The best Republican Democratic money could buy.

Who has worse public perception…Golman or Tiger Woods?
BTW, Tiger and Dubai seem to have topped out in sync…

no inflation on food and energy, lol, i was at my local grocer yesterday, as usual the man asks if i need help, i say YES, “you’ve jacked the prices by 30% in the last two weeks on everything I buy”, he of course agreed, he knows me, i buy the same stuff same time every week……..i buy clean non-processed foods
i threatened to take my biz to walmart, he was shocked for a moment, i said i would not, because all they sell is processed foods for the masses which i don’t eat
heck, i don’t blame them, last year they got rid of alot of stocking units, like instead of a dozen different mustards they’re down too 6, they did this on lot’s of items

In a face-off with Mishkin the other day with Ron Paul, Paul didn’t mention Goldman Sucks once in the entire segment, their overwhelming control of every financial nexus in the world?
What’s with that? If he is aware of Blankfein, and Sucks’ control of our government, why does ne purposefully omit even the mention of their name?
Those who favor Paul, do you have any idea?

fsl,
it’s a good Q:, though, it may help to see where he’s coming from..
1.) He believes, and, to me, rightly so, that w/o the FedRes many of these problems would have a much more difficult time coming about/not exist..
as we know, even, GS would have been a smoldering crater w/o FedRes succor/intervention..
2.) He speaking on a national stage, to a nation that is not well-versed in many, certain, *Realities, and is, most often, filtered by the, status quo guarding, MSM.
if you saw how readily he was ridiculed, last year, by the, said, MSM, and the, various, hatchet-jobs launched, against him, on the ‘inter-tubes’, you’d be keeping your ‘message’ tightly focused, as well..
talk to the guy in private, he knows all about GS/Wall St., et al.. and, knows, too well, that if he began to lay out/discuss the nexus/’interconnectedness’ between the FedRes-GS (Wall St., et al.) he’d be labeled/derided, all over again, as a ‘conspir@cy the@rist’/'kook’, with a case of “The Crazy”..

guess I havn’t been as vigilant and watchful as I shoulda .. had to look up:
“SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) is a fictional global terrorist organization featured in the James Bond novels”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECTRE
oh save us Thunderbirds ..
the memories .. held back in 2nd grade while dreaming of a local water tower tranformation into:

Hopefully you got some Natural Gas exposure that day….your insight that moment marked at least a near term inflection point on Natty. Well done.

If it comes with a bundle, un-attended package, or … offer to broker you mortgage backed securities with a triple AAA rating … it might be wise, not to open.

Makes you sort of wonder what their 2003-2006 Christmas card distributions looked like.
