And it was even funnier when those same working and middle class Americans were asked to fork over $700 billion of their tax money to save the very same financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, from their own bad acts. And goddam if isn't just hysterical that NO ONE from Goldman Sachs has been prosecuted for all of this rampant fraud and that they continued to receive millions of dollars in bonuses even after the taxpayer bailouts. I'm sure the 46 million people on food stamps, the numerous college graduates with six-figure student loan debts who can't find a decent job, the retirees whose pensions are being gutted, the underwater homeowners and the increasingly desperate wage earners whose 401K accounts have been bouncing up and down like a yo-yo are laughing their asses off right along with you.-billhicksisdead Capitalism, he said, "has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, that it is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells".-Karl the Man Marx
As Spain follows Greece (but not any of that 'austerity' shite, muchas gracias...;} "‘Spain is already in as bad a shape as Greece. And it hasn’t begun any significant austerity measures yet. Having seen what austerity has done to Greece (Greek GDP shrank 6.8% in 2011 AFTER Greece received bailouts equal to 57% of its GDP), Spain is much less likely to opt for the bailout/ austerity measure program.The significance of this is HUGE. ..."
And Spain has nothing on us. Our soon to be un employed students with 5 figure debt weights strapped to their backs, to the tune of $1 Trillion.....;} "According to the Bank of International Settlements worldwide exposure to Spain is north of $1 TRILLION with Great Britain on the hook for $51 billion, the US on the hook for $187 billion, France on the hook for $224 billion and Germany on the hook for a whopping $244 billion…’ (ZH) Yesterday, I posted about Berlin’s exit preparations.
Hey! I've got an idea! Let's pretend that Israel's not our colony and let them help us commit suicide... Then it won't really be our fault that our Empire went tit's up...;} "“As far as I am concerned, I do not harbor the slightest doubt that the United States is about to commit, and lead the world toward, the greatest error in its history,” he added.Castro said Washington is wrong to think that Iranians in the country’s Armed Forces, who are known for their religious principles and fighting traditions, will surrender to the US without shooting a bullet." -- Fidel El Hombre Castro.
Geeze, even the commie propaganda has been outsourced to foreign nations. Can't you find an American Marxist site?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Yep. Climate change will feel good in the winter. Like Phoenix....;}
Geeze, even the commie propaganda has been outsourced to foreign nations. Can't you find an American Marxist site? You need to read him. He's a Tory apologist. Would bow before the queen if she deigned to recognize him... that sorta bloke. And a commie site made in the USSA would be Forbes. Cause the Commies in the USSA are the Top 1%.

'That’s why in a nation of 1.2 billion, India’s 100 richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of the GDP...' The Waltons own more than the Bottom 100 million Amerikans.
The Waltons own more than the Bottom 100 million Amerikans. That's because you have people like Stone putting their local businesses out of business for a 5% discount.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

So, once again, the spineless European Union (EU) political "leadership" - once again acting like the poodles of choice - gloriously sabotaged what it has always billed as its most ambitious energy project; caved in to US pressure; and ultimately sacrificed its energy independence. And all this from people who never lose an opportunity to decry that Europe is a "gas hostage" to Russia's Gazprom. As with all things Pipelineistan, there are layers and layers of nuance. Moscow is pulling out all the stops to prevent Iran from eventually joining Nabucco - because its top policy agenda is to extend its stranglehold over the EU's gas supply to 30%. ... http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/NC23Ag04.html IMG[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B0vAUz...2-03-23+at+8.27.08+AM.png The most prominent but false conclusions on the expanding value of oil are centered on assertions that supply is decreasing dramatically, while demand is increasing dramatically. Neither of these claims is true…
Even if Azerbaijan decides to sell its extra gas wealth to Russia, Turkey also wins. Turkey has authorized the underwater passage of the Russian-Italian (Vladimir Putin-Silvio Berlusconi?) South Stream pipeline in its territory in return for even more robust trade and energy ties with Russia. But most of all Russia wins. South Stream is a go. Gazprom for its part has increased its charm offensive all across Central Asia; this means that the more Gazprom imports gas from them, the less gas will be available for Europe (unless it is sold by Russia ...) With Putin back in the presidency in May, the strategy that he laid out back in 2000 is graphically paying all kinds of dividends. -pepe escobar
The leadership in Azerbaijan, (currently being wined & dined in the USSA courtesy of AIPAC...;} for instance, knows very well that Russia is the only player capable of determining what goes on in the Caucasus - and on top of it offers great energy deals. So here's the writing on the wall; Russia under Putin will be even more influential from the Caucasus to Central Asia.
Still the most pressing question seems to be whether anybody in Brussels will wake up from its masochistic haze, stop the sanction nonsense, and talk energy with Iran. www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/NC23Ag04.html No. Not until the USSA Afghan effort collapses....this Summer.
Thank You for the link.
You're welcome. It's not the one I was looking for, which describes Syria capturing a large arms cache yesterday, but it'll do for now.
"Ironically, stock market activity in the Dow has now come under threat from this inflationary trend in oil. Rising energy costs have essentially put a cap on the epic explosion of equities, and many mainstream analysts now lament over this Catch-22. The problem is that these investors and pundits are operating on the assumption that the Dow bull market is legitimate, and that the rally in oil is somehow an extension of a “healthier economy”. This version of reality, I’m afraid, is about as far from the truth as one can stretch… In the candy coated world of Obamanomics, high priced stocks are a valid signal of economic growth, and oil is rising due to demand which extends from this growth...." http://www.alt-market.com/articl...e-oil-conundrum-explained
Speaking of planting corn: " In the study, Andrea Tapparo and colleagues explain that seeds coated with so-called neonicotinoid insecticides went into wide use in Europe in the late 1990s. The insecticides are among the most widely used in the world, popular because they kill insects by paralyzing nerves but have lower toxicity for other animals. Almost immediately, beekeepers observed large die-offs of bees that seemed to coincide with mid-March to May corn planting. Scientists thought this might be due to particles of insecticide made airborne by the pneumatic drilling machines used for planting.
News for AAPL halted news Wall Street Journal 1. Apple trading halted, resumes Fortune - 7 seconds ago By Philip Elmer-DeWitt March 23, 2012: 11:53 AM ET The hearts of Apple (AAPL) traders stopped briefly at 10:57 am Friday when the company's share price, ... 1. Apple Trade on Bats Triggers Circuit Breaker; Stock Rebounds Bloomberg - 31 minutes ago
Caused by BATS.... per ZH.... The reason for the crash apparently is because BATS stock is ony trading on the BATS exchange, where apparently the APPL halt second before also happened. Pretty much tells us all we need to know about the stability of broken market structure. In other news, the stock, and exchange, have now been renamed BATShit - perhaps the VVIX can trade there next or something... And they wonder why nobody trades this farce of a market any more.
I've never owned an apple product. They are inferior.
Slow day for you Stone?

Yes. It is raining today. :(
Yeah, it looked like you were trying to stir something up.

By saying Apple sucks. They do. They lock down and cripple their products. That Iphone thing is a PC. Do you think Apple should be able to control the programs on your phone? I don't. I think that is crap.
So don't own one. I love my IPhone. My Apple hating ex-husband just got an IPhone and is in love with it.

It should be illegal. That would be like Microsoft saying only microsoft programs can run on their windows operating system. You shouldn't have to jailbreak your phone.
I recently remembered that I received a Wal-Mart gift card for Christmas and it is still sitting in my wallet. I imagine it is of low value - $20 or so bucks - so I'm going to have to break my rule and visit Wally World one of these days when the need arises.
I owned AAPL when it was @ $33 a share. Being a genius I sold when it jumped 10 percent in value :(
I haven't felt the need to do that.

I haven't felt the need to do that. You do know that limits the phones power don't you. You know having it locked down by Apple. Would you be ok if you could only put a Ford radio in your Ford car?
If my Ford radio worked as well as my IPhone, why would I want to replace it? You don't have to buy Apple products.

Apple is an illegal monopoly. The justice department should go after them like Microsoft.
How is that?

They don't allow third party software on their devices without their permission. They also seem to think they still own the Iphone after you purchase it. They are hostile to you modding it. Screw them.
I many own the phone, however, they own the technology.

Are you too young to remember when you couldn't own a phone?

Actually once you buy it it is yours to do what you choose with it. You own that specific hardware/technology. To think otherwise is to think like a slave.
I remember you had to rent them from Ma bell. Which my mom said was owned by the mafia. Or something like that.
From a March 19 Bloomberg report by Laurel Brubaker Calkins and Margaret Cronin Fisk: BP Plc’s (BP/) Atlantis platform, its second-largest oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico, should be shut down until it’s proven to comply with U.S. safety and environmental laws, a whistle-blower’s lawyer told a judge. BP misled U.S. offshore regulators to win operating permits for the platform, located about 150 miles (240 kilometers) south of New Orleans, according to the whistle-blower. The facility produced an average of 60,000 barrels of oil daily last year and is capable of producing as much as 200,000 barrels a day, according to data on London-based BP’s website. http://www.stuarthsmith.com/another-disaster-in-waiting-whistleblower-calls-for-immediate-shutdown-of-bps-second-largest-gulf-oil-platform-2
“Atlantis is presently not fit for service under normal engineering standards,” David Perry, a lawyer for Kenneth Abbott, a former BP contractor, said at a hearing today in federal court in Houston. “We ask the court to take action to oversee remediation to make it fit for service.” It would seem that BP’s “renewed” commitment to safety and our federal government’s commitment to more rigorous oversight – on the heels of the worst oil spill in U.S. history – are being exposed as a fraud. We’re getting a look behind the scenes at another BP operation, and what is being revealed is frightening indeed. The jig appears to be up, again. More from the Bloomberg report: Perry told [U.S. District Judge Lynn] Hughes there’s a specific pressure-relief valve “that is protecting a 16-inch pipeline” connecting Atlantis to shore and “that is undersized by a factor of 20 to 1.” A failure in that valve “could cause catastrophe at any time,” Perry said.
