Hedging out Hedge Funds . . . Putting Banks in the Crosshairs

I just finished watching these YouTube videos (see below for all 3),  Disclaimer: At the end, they mention Michael Moore.  I like the videos, and they really do a nice job of explaining what happened in 2008 . . . so even if you don't like Michael Moore, the videos are good.

If you forget . . . 2008 was the beginning of the end -- the start of the 'rescission.'  These videos document how buying "put options," "naked short selling" etc. took place to bring Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers et al -- not even to their knees . . . but to their deaths.

Please watch these videos, and notice how The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) fiddled while Rome burned. 

It is now my contention that there is another Federal regulatory agency that is being 'groomed' just as the SEC was during the finacial fiddling of the Wall St. giants ... but who am I to contend anything?  I'm a nobody.   But I am an American speaking her mind under the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.  And it is now my contention that there's a whole lot of Pimping going on and there is another FEDERAL AGENCY being used: the FDIC.

 

When you watch these videos, you'll see the SEC didn't do shit when the 'fix was in'-- when the hit was made on Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns.  The SEC . . . they were bent over backwards and made to bark like a dog.  Now they're useless.  The financial trading institutions got plucked over, and tossed.

The manipulators businessmen that continually drink my wine (and yours!) are eying other financial institutions to suck blood from and that would be: the Banks, and their bitch whore this time is the FDIC. 

The United States government employs people. They employ people at the SEC.  When you watch the videos you'll see how the United States government employees did absolutely nothing when the smell of smoke was first noticed wafting up from Wall St.  The ones that raised a concern were FIREd -- why is that?

Don't think for a moment that the FDIC going into banks on the 'regulatory' guise is for the benefit, and in the best interests of the American public. The government did nothing when the financial instituions were doused with gas and set on fire.   

"Arithmatic" By Carl Sandberg

Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your
    head.
Arithmetic tells you how many you lose or win if you know how
    many you had before you lost or won.
Arithmetic is seven eleven all good children go to heaven -- or five
    six bundle of sticks.
Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand
    to your pencil to your paper till you get the answer.
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and
    you can look out of the window and see the blue sky -- or the
    answer is wrong and you have to start all over and try again
    and see how it comes out this time.
If you take a number and double it and double it again and then
    double it a few more times, the number gets bigger and bigger
    and goes higher and higher and only arithmetic can tell you
    what the number is when you decide to quit doubling.
Arithmetic is where you have to multiply -- and you carry the
    multiplication table in your head and hope you won't lose it.
If you have two animal crackers, one good and one bad, and you
    eat one and a striped zebra with streaks all over him eats the
    other, how many animal crackers will you have if somebody
    offers you five six seven and you say No no no and you say
    Nay nay nay and you say Nix nix nix?
If you ask your mother for one fried egg for breakfast and she
    gives you two fried eggs and you eat both of them, who is
    better in arithmetic,
you or your mother?

Hi Renee . . . I don't know if you'll be back to read this, but the FDIC, whom I affectionately call the Imperial Stormtroopers as on the march -- straight to a privately held bank in neighborhoods across the State. 

The SEC got Maddoff . . . that's ALL!?!   And they KNEW he was screwing with people, and they did nothing for years.  Then when the shit hit the fan, he's the fall guy?!?  The only one with soiled hands??   

Who put the hit out on Bear Steans and Lehmann Bros?!? 

The SEC is played out now.  Like a whore passed her prime. 

Nowthe FDIC is the whore, and the banks are the Johns.  I'm SO glad I'm a nobody, because if I was on the Board of a privately held bank, and the FDIC came a'calling, I'd be so pissed.  The FDIC  employs over 5,000.  They don't make a product, produce a good, offer a service.  They REGULATE!

I wonder how many they employed 10 years ago.  I bet it wasn't 5,000.  They can swarm a bank and SEIZE it . . . with what the SEC did (ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) when Wall St. was played, the SEC did nothing.  NOTHING!  Then the FDIC goes in to IndyMac and seizes them . . . then Washington Mutual, and the list goes on and on.  Bank seizures are the latest 'trend' in the government doing nothing but confiscating the pubic's money (via taxes) and seizures of banks.  The SEC allowed this to happen.  Wall St. was hit worse than 9/11 and cluster fucked.  Now the infantry (i.e., Imperial Stormtroopers) are on the march.  When Wall St. was 'tested' as the videos point out.  One day this amount of suspecious activity, then the next day, then the next . . . and no one at the SEC bats an eye.  Then the manipulators do it again in Sept., even AFTER they are called in by Congress and the Senate for hearings earlier in the year.  But in Sept., they do it again.  This time, they killed a few financial institutions. RIP.

Wall St. burned, and the SEC fiddled, what was done?  NOTHING!  The envelope is pushed, and pushed, and pushed and NO ONE is doing anythng about it?? 

Now I am convinced it's the privately held banks that are being targeted.  FDIC is the enforcer. 

And I know the founding fathers are just rolling over in their graves right now.  And the REAL Patriots who fought the British and gave up their life -- the ultimate selfless act -- in the American Revolution would not imagine they died for this shit! 

I get so sad, and upset Renee to see this.  Maybe I'm an idiot, but I used to be quite proud of being an American.  Now, I see another side of this country and I'm embarrassed and ashamed.  A lot of people have lost a lot.  Retirement/pensions funds were wiped out when Bear Stears and Lehmann Bros. died.  Wiped out!!  I can't forget that.  The news doesn't cover it, and we remain silent and forgetful.  Well, the Statue of Liberty has a blindfold on . . . NOT A FUCKING GAG!! Who is speaking UP?!?  Who is helping?  We want to have a leader . . . but there is none to be found.  Not one who still possesses the balls God gave 'em. 

I get so sad Renee. 

I wanted one egg, I got two . . . I ate them . . . WHO DOESN'T KNOW MATH!?!

Am I at fault for not speaking louder??  I don't know anybody.  What the hell can I do, but be sad and write this.  Bankruptcies, short sales, foreclosures, liens, deficiency judgments -- THESE ARE THE NEW JOBS in America?!?

Bank regulators, auditors . . . HA HA HA

Where was the SEC when those naughty little boys were putting junk paper (tinder) under the buildings at the financial district readying to torch them with their stock market arrows?

I get so sad to look at this in hindsight . . . because I know what is in PLAIN SIGHT!!

So many people have a story to tell.

You are an honest person.  I respect that in people.

I don't know if you'll read this . . . but thanks for listening.
