Media double standard yet again

Recently two WWII Veterans were killed, but with two very different media spins.

Delbert Belton, killed by thugs, is still a sensation and has multiple stories in multiple outlets all over the world.  The outrage is tweeted by many.  I would post a link but there are so many as the media's use of black on white crime for ratings intensifies.

John Wrana, killed by police for not taking his medications, will remain unmourned except by those close to him.  From the American Legion Site:

Obama negotiates directly with N. Korea to stall missle tests?

The current administration may have made a secret deal with the N. Korean govenment to stall provacative behavior from the ostracized country.

It appears there was a 4 day long secret US diplomatic mission to N. Korea on or about Aug. 17th.

From the article, an english version of the Korean news site Donga.

“There is a high possibility that the U.S. tried to prevent the North from making an armed provocation ahead of the November presidential election and made a proposal corresponding to it,” the source said

While the press is all over Benghazi gate, i hope they manage a few lines on this one.

America's Decline ...

Mein Gott! where to begin.  In the week following the election it feels like America has recoiled from the decision of the electorate while the mainstream media continues to blow trumpets for our Nero.
Trying to dig out the truth in this morass of disinformation is harder than it should be. 

Jefferson's "Tyranny of the Masses" has reared it's ugly head and the new "slaves*" have made the panglossian decision to print more money until the house of cards falls down.

Many elements of govenment have bloated to self destruction, a relatively detailed account of San Berandino's  downfall due to union extortion serves as a good example:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/13/us-bernardino-bankrupt-idUSBRE8AC0HP20121113

This brings us to the ugly scenario of government employees, including police and firefighters, siding with a government no longer "by the people".   There are already significant violations of fundamental fulcrums in the checks and balances system.  H.Con.Res 107 addresses one of these obvious transgressions.**
So who's going to union bust when the police are union?   I appreciate the work guys but your pay is out of line.  People are whining about losing twinkies wait until police and fire become problematic.  California just slapped a "fee" on rural dwellers for increased fire protection.  It's not a "tax" it's a "fee" for living near trees.  This fee will help our local fire chief go from 150k a year retirement to 170k.  Ca chopped millions from the fire and police budgets but has money to fund such projects as bullet trains with uncertain funding.  It seems that this "pet project" is going forward without the EPA looking too closely as only the farmers whos land is involved are protesting.  The reason for not addressing their concerns? It costs too much to stop moving forward with the project.
Judge refuses to halt progress of California high-speed rail (Reuters)
I won't even go into the "sanctuary city" concept, as flawed an ideal at the state level as likely to be recorded in history.  The "slaves" have counted themselves and have found that they are mighty.  They reveled in their win:
Dead Pig In Romney shirt thrown on Republican's turf (KTLA)

Was the vote cheated enough to sway the election?  Certainly America was cheated by their media, devoid of impartiality, who has been stuffing the "people" full of garbage for decades.
A picture is worth a thousand words:








 Was there feet on the ground fraud?  Probably, but it was good for Kennedy too and how much fraud may never be determined.  I did find this article:  (i have not had time to fully check out it's claims, however it's and interesting and scary read)

Stem Cell fraudsters busted

Some back alley stem cell activity.
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/01/03/3-arrested-for-peddling-miracle-stem-cell-cure/
From the article:
"Dr. Craig Klugman, a medical ethicist at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, said stem cells appeal to people who are desperate for cures."

no doubt... by the time they are at the stage of jumping countries all straws have hope.

Now as one of those "desperate for a cure", and i well remember my conversation with my kids about the intelligence of going avant garde for a cure, i gotta chime in a bit.
Stem cells have achieved miraculous results for me.  And the count is up to 4 others that i know personally that have used the same word miraculous or fountain of youth.  BTW, being of modest wealth and going downhill fiscally (still unable to work) i took the stem cells of a pig.

Another quote :
"They are using a new marketing tool to make you think this is something very futuristic and cutting edge," Klugman said. "I would be very skeptical of anything claiming to have stem cells in it because, at least in the United States, there is nothing commercially approved for use with stem cells in it."

It is not hard to see these as "futuristic and cutting edge" .... because they are!

So my rhetorical questions are:
Where is this stuff in mainstream medicine!?!  Is it because it will put the cut and dope men out of business?
Dr. Klugman's title is that of a medical ethicist, what is the ethics of withholding stem cell therapies from the American public?  What ethics are involved when irradiating, poisoning, and cutting are the preferred treatments?  Sounds like business ethics to me.

Stem cells should be front page news every day in the health sections.  And it should not be "beware of stem cell dealers in dark alleys" it should be "latest tests show...", "new strain developed to target inner ear cochlea cilia", (true btw added link 09/12/12 ) and "FDA finally gets off it's arse and looks at what Europe is doing with stem cells!".

These are also fairly inexpensive to make.

My source for these wonderful beauties has dried up.  I look forward to the day i can talk honestly with a mainstream doctor about where to get them and what to take.

Our accelerating proclivity to sell information, technology and natural resources without regard to long term American interests will bite us in the arse big time.  Until American politicians actively recognize China (and others) as economic enemies and start protecting the seeds of american prosperity  we are truly leaderless.

Why I dislike "Wall Street"

Recently inspired by being thought liberal after voicing concerns regarding Black Pool trading and the use of computer algorithms for trading I am going to try to articulate why I do not like "Wall Street".


In WWII it was American industrial capacity that saved our arse.  We out built them.  Even better, our free thinking minds out designed them for another 50 years. In the old days guilds were formed to protect trade secrets.  America protected it's technology well until the 1960's cultural revolution when it became more and more popular to sell hi-tech equipment to former enemies, in some cases, to existing enemies' proxies.  The Clinton administration was particularly good at it.  I recall being particularly incensed when Clinton sold some proprietary bearing cutting machines to a Chinese proxy effectively making all of their submarines significantly quieter. 

This has become much uglier, besides all of the jobs the past administrations (of both stripe) have shipped overseas, the demonization of heavy industry here in the US and the trade imbalance, there are serious defense considerations.

What percentage of .. say a F-18 is manufactured here in the US?  If not 100% what countries supply these components?  This is a topic that can be expounded on, i digress.

With the rise of the left in the mid 60s, these college students then entered the workforce.  It would be interesting to know the stats on number of MBA's vs. Civil engineers (or other "hard science") for the last 70 years or so.  I, after learning electronics in high school and the military, worked in the silicon valley in about 6 or 7 start up companies.  Watching how MBA's execute their skills on an "acquired asset" is a real eye opener.  Ethics are pretty well forgotten and bumper stickers like "he who dies with the most toys wins" exist on the backs of BMW's.  For anyone not feeling the anger i suggest re-watching (rereading?) the Scott Lei (sp) Enron testimony.  He is not the only one! These ethically castrated people have existed in business since time began, but, by their nature, rise to the top, and generally stay there until overthrown by a stronger power.  (i.e. the Knights Templar gained much power though usury tricks and were eventually purged)  I personally believe that the general ethical behavior in Americans has plummeted over the last 40 years.  I know damn sure it has in the politicians.

Now the tools with the most economic leverage ever to exist in the history of man are in the hands of MBA's and computer scientists.  The servers and condition sampling/prediction algorithms are in the hands of those that like power.  I have worked closely with computers, and have a pretty good idea of how they work.  The same can be said of programming, but i am not a programmer.

remember, some of these banks pay up to 150,000$ per square foot for server space in prime financial areas, to gain a few billionths of a second.

I imagine these servers (programs) recognize "states" i.e A hurricane in Florida + glut of plywood supply in Oregon = buy shipper stock for next 24 hours sell in 3 months

This concept can be honed to an infinite number of of conditions, and improved constantly over time with observation.  It is a computer based money skimmer.  So far it has only worked with massive cash injections at the taxpayer level.  When will their "computer model" develop a self sustaining feedback loop that pays for itself?   How much did it contribute to the "loan derivatives" causing the "too big to fail" situations costing me 40% of my retirement cash and about 100k equity, and my kids future money (by way of taxes).

https://occupywallst.org/

Peeps protesting Wall Street.  Now while I don't recommend this group (yet), because their agenda seems unclear (i haven't read what they are up to in detail).  But I am surprised there hasn't been more of this.  I do not understand why everyone who paid into 401ks and Social Security aren't more angry about bankers/wall street/credit rating/government/mortgage companies flushing 40% of retirement wealth on uncounted predominantly honest hard working people.

Questions I would like to see answered:

Why is black pool trading allowed?  Is it regulated?

Why are large financial servers being moved to 150K$ a sq. ft. facilities close to financial hubs so they have a 9 or 10 nanosecond edge on each other?

These things, un-regulated trade, and computer algorithms trading at a speed fast enough to where billionths of a second make a difference are what scare me into thinking the talking heads are heading the American train for a cliff.

I would also like a list of big money companies and people that have essentially "sold out" America, and drag in the politicians that aren't willing to slap some trade leveling mechanisms with our global cheap labor competitors.

Solyndra and goverment smoke and mirrors

First off, American based solar companies will not succeed because they can't compete with the Chinese.

I would also like to note, CNN hasn't run a story on Solyndra in 3 or 4 days.

So they all take the 5th, a predictable outcome but what toasts my bread is the following statements:

First it is established that the 500M loan was "restructured" (by the Obama administration) to pay the private investors off first, as opposed to the taxpayers, in case of bankruptcy or default in clear violation of economic stimulus law.

BUT
Deputy energy sec. Daniel Poneman (squidmo in my mind) sez that "the restructuring was entirely legal" because he was looking out for the taxpayers best interests by giving the company a better chance to succeed.

I mean... what is the response to such obviously self serving idiocy?  This has to be criminal.  If it isn't, then it should be.  I hope people wake up to the idea that criminals, in suits or in tats, need to be punished to the point of deterrence.

I propose that on the day the state of the union address is made, they hang the top 5 white collar crime criminals on the front lawn of the white house.  It should be a festive atmosphere with treats for the kids and weak beer for the adults.  Perhaps vendors can sell tiny nooses with the most vilified character dangling on the end.  Maddoff on a stick, Bouncing Bernie.

Update:  10/7/2011 This describes the "Federal Financing Bank" which is ripe for abuse (or squeezed dry from abuse)
 http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/10/06/treasury-bank-behind-solyndra-and-mortgage-bailouts

They start with an Obama quote ""We are not going to be duplicating the kind of system that they have in China where they are basically state-run banks giving money to state-run companies and ignoring losses and ignoring, you know, bad management." 

 Then the article points out that we DO have a state run bank that props up private ventures, and in the case of the Solyndra loan, the private investors get paid back before this "bank".

This is the type of corruption in the system that should be front page news every day until it is exposed and corrected.

Update 10/13/11 another company in the same situation:

Update 10/14/11 the actual structure of the loan being called into question by  Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee.


Gary Burner, chief financial officer of the Treasury Federal Financing Bank responsible for the loan and a 28-year veteran of the Treasury Department, said he's never heard of a case where private money was prioritized ahead of taxpayer money in a loan.

The GOP lawmakers cited other emails showing that Mary Miller, an assistant treasury secretary, said the restructuring deal could violate the law because it put investors' interests ahead of taxpayers.

Apparently some Delaware judge decided that ``I think it's clear this case does not rise to the level of failure to disclose that would mandate appointment of trustee,''
So the fact the the top management all takes the 5th doesn't raise a flag for any one?

I have been following the story still, but just saw the same stuff rehashed until this moment when Chu is taken to task
 Chu takes the fall

Re: the loan structure Chu says:
he Energy Department faced a difficult decision in late 2010 and early this year, Chu said: Force Solyndra into immediate bankruptcy or restructure the loan guarantee to allow the company to accept emergency financing that would be paid back first if the company was still unable to recover. 

"Immediate bankruptcy meant a 100 percent certainty of default, with an unfinished plant as collateral. Restructuring improved the chance of recovering taxpayer money by giving the company a fighting chance at success," Chu said in his written testimony. 

Although both options involved significant uncertainty, Chu said he made the judgment that restructuring was the better option to recover the maximum amount of the government's loan. The decision also meant continued employment for the company's approximately 1,100 workers, he said. 

Chu said it was worth noting that U.S. taxpayers remain first in line for repayment of the initial loan and noted that private groups invested nearly $1 billion in the company.
