I agree with this post entirely. I first noticed this several years back, when I was researching the background of faux historian (frequently appears on PBS's non-news hour), Michael Beschloss' wife,
Note that nowhere in the entry does it mention that Mrs. Beschloss was a former employee of the Carlyle Group (which in point of fact she was).
I became suspicious about this and noticed an extraordinary number of former Carlyle Groupers had excised that from their background and history. Most peculiar . . . .
.....and then Nathan Myhrvold got rich and went on to found an international patent troll predatory capitalist firm ---- that ole Nathan is soooo productive ---- OR NOT!
. . . . because of the existence of chatbots, trollbots, etc., since at least the late 1990s (automated software agents programmed to seek and respond in specific patterns), and since contracts have been publicly announced in the last few years (meaning they've been effectively working on them the previous decade!!!) to program "ConsensusBots" --- automated software to "persuade" (i.e., misinform and disinform) large numbers at popular newsy sites and social networking sites --- many, if not most, comments today are highly suspect!
What those rambling clowns probably meant, and what actually occurred initiating the global economic meltdown, was that trillions of dollars (US) worth of unregulated insurance, i.e., credit default swaps (referred to as naked swaps when they are uncovered, or the purchasers have no skin in the game) with potential payouts of hundreds of trillions of dollars --- far exceeding all the monies in existence. It was the largest insurance swindle in human history (just research the Abacus CDO [and John Paulson and Goldman Sachs], the $2 trillion swaps written against Bear Stearns' external debt of $190 billion, Magnetar Capital, etc., etc., etc.).
TrumpetPower, your comments are both infantile and idiotic, pure simplteton rant! You don't live above it all (unless you are one of those super-rich); externalities affect you along with the rest of us, sonny! Your advice is moronic in a world where super-crooks (those banksters) are now worth in the trillions! Get a clue, dood!
Which planet do you live on, dood! Hundreds of trillions of dollars of unregulated insurance, i.e., credit default swaps, are "assets"?
$90 trillion of credit derivatives are "assets"? WTF is the FED doing all that QE1, QE2, and QE-forever, if such "assets" are being referred to as toxic assets, my friend?
The economic meltdown occurred when a number of banksters around the planet simultaneously realized they were holding all those toxic assets, which are normally referred to as junk paper!
FYI, clueless wonder, Volcker is just another Rockefeller stooge, douchey! (Don't you know anything, dood? You are regurgitating TV bullcrap, and are therefore full of nothing but bullcrap!)
To those nimrods, lowbrows and paid-liars who have been casting epithets at the rest of us, proclaiming everything to be just so much "conspiracy theory" --- well all those detractors, assuming any sanity, must now view such a factual; it ain't no conspiracy when it becomes FACT!
To anyone truly interested in understanding what is now taking place, these five books would be most salient to such comprehension (i.e., you'll be a genius on reality after reading them):
The Invention of Capitalism, by Michael Perelman
The Surplus American, by Charles Derber and Yale Magrass
Wealth, Power and the Crisis in Laissez Faire Capitalism, by Donald Gibson
Battling Wall Street: the Kennedy presidency, by Donald Gibson
Rockefellerocracy: Kennedy Assassinations, Watergate and Monopoly of the Philanthrophic Foundations, by Richard James Desocio
[P.S. Guess who the majority owner of Verizon is?]
President Obama today announced he will no longer prevaricate (for the American audience: lie like Hell!) on the Syria matter, but instead offer them the "olive branch" of peace.
"If Syria and Iran will finally sign onto the WTO's Financial Services Agreement, thus allowing the banksters in, we will refrain from unleashing a leviathan deluge of cruise missiles against them," said an annoyed Barack Obama.
While I agree with the gist of everything you said, tlambert, I would humbly suggest the paid off "old debts" weren't still being sought "by accident" --- if ya know what I mean?
This is sooo very obvious it is almost not worthy of comment. Obviously a honeypot posting.
Furthermore, the point is most definitely how inaccurate their information may be, as they use it for employment screening, etc., and this particular company has long had congtracts with DHS, and the intel community.
They must not understand the concept of a digital backup copy.
You are obviously right, dood, how could anyone who contracted out to Endgame Systems, and has purchased state-of-the-art automated intel platforms such as the Trovicor Monitoring Center, with corporations like Boeing whose subsidiary is Narus, possibly know anything about backups?
DCSNet? Prism? MK ULTRA?
Just how many hours a day do you listen to Glen Beckerhead and Rush Bimbo?

Brilliantly and most logically articulated, good citizen Nephrite! Are you related to Sherlock Holmes or Batman? Seriously, great comment!
Hold on a second, Morty Zuckerman's US NEWS and World Report ran a cover touting Dick(head) Cheney as a "tough guy".
Are you doubting Morty Zuckerman? He is on the Trilateral Commission, after all......
Where was this so-called attack by al Qaeda ever decided in a court of law, may one inquire?
Anyone who offed Dick Cheney would be a hero of democracy and humanity, not a "terrorist"!
has anyone ever read Goralski's book on networking (he's a top engineer there)?

Thank you, tchdab1, for stating what should be most obvious to one and all! (I'm not being sarcastic, simply thankful.)

Nonsense, wasn't their Surface a colossal success?????? (Joke for the day....)

St. Creed obviously has a functioning mind. Such an individual must be immediately hunted down . . . .
. . .does this mean the American-based multinationals will halt the offshoring of jobs to that totalitarian paradise?
Oops! Sorry, forgot they LOVE such countries!
