Forum Post: Things are going to get intense, hold tight.

The FBI is now looking into JP Morgan, where they will soon find a connection to 15 trillion dollars that came and went into and from HSBC of London and extensively covered by an MP before law enforcement became aware and was able to quite his naive course of addressing such a large scandal. Keep in mind that JP may be facing legal action by investors for the missing money at the now defunct MF Global. Sales have been little more than flat since the beginning of the recovery and employment has not kept pace with population growth since early 2006, yet Wall Street has somehow made record profits and bonuses. The last 2 meetings of the FED covered the possibility of QE3 which is nothing more than stimulus without congressional approval to avoid public scrutiny. There is talk that NATO may soon be disbanded and an increasing number of defense contractors are being investigated for fraud and embezzlement. Since we know JP has been a hub of questionable practices, it stands to reason all of these things are interconnected and involve some seriously high profile figure with plenty of cash to finance all of the online harassment that has been taking place. Adding to this, shortly before we discovered the name of a psychological operations firm being called into question by a senator for being a potential suspect in online harassment and illegal domestic operation, we seem to have lost one of our trolls. Folks, their house of cards is about to collapse and like any animal sensing impending doom, there will be some flailing and thrashing about.

Thanx - Damn Fine Post !!! radix omnium malorum est cupiditas ...

Jim Rogers is on video on CNBC and he mentions something about Bank Examiners being all over the banks especially JP Morgan. So maybe there is some quiet government regulators looking at the big TBTF Banks.... that is good.

What $15 TRILLION? I don't see that number anywhere. Is that a made up number?

[-] 2 points by Middleaged (5140) 12 years ago

Uh, I'm not sure. The GAO has published a studies before. The wheels turn SLOWLY.

Setting up foreign subsidiaries allows American defense contractors not only to utilize cheaper labor and more favorable regulations, but also avoid paying taxes that fund key government safety net programs. This conclusion was reached by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which examined 29 defense contractors and their reliance on offshore companies for their work overseas from 2003 to 2008.

I think the point you miss, is the level of action being taken about those things. You cannot dismiss the color red by saying, "Everything has a color".

[-] 1 points by Middleaged (5140) 12 years ago

Yes, I might not be seeing the whole picture. The picture is very big.

My point might be that the Government is Like a battle ship. It turns or changes course very, very slowly.

Is it the first time that FBI is investigating a BIGGY. Will it not be a BIG cover up, as usual. What is the difference this time? Is it OWS?

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

The difference to me is every time we hear of an FBI investigation of a financial company, it's after they have failed.

So, who do you think I am. You never answered? I'll give you a clue. We met once in real life. A while back.

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

Only once? Funny you would remember me if we had only met once. Tell me something about me that cannot be found on the web then.

[-] 0 points by JoeWinters (47) 12 years ago

I met you once at a party. I don't know much about you. But, when I met you, you were talking about taking classes at a cooking college. Your girlfriend was there. Nice girl, but a bit shy. Her named started with a M I think. Michelle? Not sure anymore.

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

lol. now who's full of it. Cooking is a family thing. I do as my parents did. If we had met at a party, you would know something about me. I think you know that I know exactly who you are. Why does that freak you out? It's not like you've tried to stay out of the lime light.

[-] -2 points by JoeWinters (47) 12 years ago

It doesn't freak me out. If you know, why are you too freaked out to simply write the name of who you think I am right here, right now?

You are joking right?

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

I think you both protest just a little much. At worst, I'm wrong, it's really not that serious regardless of how correct I am. It's just a forum conversation and an assumption of who I'm actually talking to. You guys need to relax. Have a cig and a coffee, go for a walk or something.

[-] 1 points by April (3196) 12 years ago

Right. Whatever you say richard. From the one that does "research" on a random internet forum user and thinks he has him id.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

actually someone gave a link to this blog a while back when I was being trolled like mad on here. It contains most of what I just posted. http://occupywallstreetdeception.blogspot.com/search?q=hall&x=0&y=0 You guys are seriously paranoid.

[-] 1 points by JoeWinters (47) 12 years ago

Nope. I don't even know who he is. BTW - You told me that once before. Does he have a Wikipedia page or something? I'd like to learn more about who you think I really am.

BTW - Keep at it and one day you'll be a real MatLock!

[-] 2 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

You have just enough web knowledge to get in trouble, you've been neglecting your blog since you began spending so much time on here, your grandfather specialized in Socrates, you also have been documented having a beef with elements of the movement. You're educated but not controlled (young) and haven't been working and thats why you had to wait until you won an ipad. You were part of the beginnings of Occupy and thats why you get along with Jart. Say I'm wrong if you like but the evidence is pretty compelling. I have probably done as much acid and shrooms as Steve Jobs and already had a pretty high IQ. I'm pretty sure I'm right.

[-] 0 points by JoeWinters (47) 12 years ago

Well, no, you're wrong. And, if you were right, I would tell you (no, wait, I don't know if I would tell you because I would be Edward Hall who has a different personality than me!)

What you are doing is working like a conspiracy theorist. You are using the scientific method backwards. You start by thinking I'm this Edward Hall, then you try to fit all the evidence you can find to show it. But, it doesn't work.

A lot of people have web knowledge. I'm a programmer. I told you that before. That's also why I got along with Jart at the beginning. I helped her with a few things, notably, I helped her catch an annoying spammer back in October. Nowadays, after I used bots, she no longer likes me. She bans me as soon as she sees me. I don't blame her. I told her I had bots and I used them for awhile. It didn't bother her at first, but one day she asked me to stop and I said I would. Then, I broke my promise and attacked girlFriday. Since then she bans me.

I don't have a blog, and I never met either of my grandfathers as they were both dead before I was born. I read Socrates myself as many other people did. Many people have beefs with elements of the movement. It's far from being perfect!!! I had to wait to win an ipad? I don't have an ipad, I use a MBP and have been since the beginning of my contributions on this forum. Check with jart.

I'm sad OWS protesters are mostly conspiracy theory type thinkers. If you had any logic you would see that the "evidence" you think you have is not tight at all. There are 7 billion people in the world and thousands of those people could fit the description you provide. You might have a high I.Q. (I doubt it), but, if you do, it's wasted by your obsession with conspiracy nonsense.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

Don't stress it. I'm just some floridaboy that likes the web and Occupy. It's not like I bite.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

I started by researching based on your original profile when we first talked and you started hammering folks. I know you think you're a programmer but you would be a lot closer to one if you spent more time on your light source project instead of playing games on a forum. I grew up with guys like you, it wasn't that hard to figure out. A troll that supports Occupy? come the fuck on lmao.

[-] 0 points by JoeWinters (47) 12 years ago

My light source project? What are you talking about?

I support Occupy to an extent. I'm more of a socialist than an anarchist, but I believe the movement is important. However, unlike you, in my mind supporting something does not mean agreeing 100% with everything about that thing. I believe criticizing something is offering it the best support. I only criticize things I care about, otherwise why bother? If OWS could be more transparent and lose all the conspiracy theorists it would have a really good chance. A new better world must be created through logic and science in my opinion.

You simply don't understand me because you are a simple minded American. You have English blood. You need to agree with everything. I am French. French people like to argue and complain. The way I contribute to OWS is that I criticize what should be fixed. The way you contribute is you go around giving useless high fives and taps on the butts.

[-] 1 points by richardkentgates (3269) 12 years ago

I could go over the many tells in all of your replies, but we both know that wouldn't be productive and it would be boring too. True, I do have a lot of other things going on besides Occupy and geography prevents physical participation but freely giving my location makes this not a secret. I am however about to finish an invention that will please most people in the Occupy movement. The CMS was an attempt to pay the bills in the mean time but I'm weeks away now so it doesn't matter, thus why I have begun providing free scripts on my website. Gota go for now. TC homie.

[-] 1 points by April (3196) 12 years ago

Light source "tells". Really richard??? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Too funny. Paranoia out of control-a. Get a grip.

Come to think of it, a US/Russian alliance may really be what Washington wants. When Russians were asked if they were willing to sacrifice liberties for security the majority have responded yes. Now that there is some distance from the events of 9/11 most Americans would respond no to the same question. This would explain why many issues may be connected right now such as NDAA, the NATO sumit, etc....

[-] 1 points by stevebol (1269) from Milwaukee, WI 12 years ago

I would not be surprized to see NATO disbanded and see instead a strong US/Russian alliance. Natually a lot would hinge on what takes place with Iran. This alliance makes little sense when you look at the two countries defense spending. Of course this would not happen should Obama lose the election.

The U.S. government borrows $2 Billion every twelve hours from China and foreign countries to keep running.

lol, lets see some code then homie. I take it I am the "Cook" ? Your explanation does not speak to coding or engineering experience, It speaks to daydreaming about how you would do it if you knew how. All I see is a script kiddy that has his laptop next to him while he plays his little Call Of Duty on the x-box.

Did you read my posting. I said I destroyed all the code. In any case, I don't want other users to run bots here so I wouldn't give it even if I did have it. I had posted it before under the name of RoadWarrior, but that thread got deleted by the admins. You can ask jart about that.
