“The Kochs are on a whole different level. There’s no one else who has spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is what sets them apart. They have a pattern of lawbreaking, political manipulation, and obfuscation. I’ve been in Washington since Watergate, and I’ve never seen anything like it. They are the Standard Oil of our times.” – Charles Lewis, founder of the non-partisan Center for Public Integrity, quoted in a New Yorker expose of the Koch Brothers Over the years, the Koch Brothers have spent over $50 million on campaigns in their fight to stop any action on climate change. They have poured gobs of money into federal politics, bankrolled climate deniers, and issued completely false ads on the impact of carbon-reduction policies. And to top it all off, the Koch Brothers are reportedly set to raise and spend $200 million on the 2012 election — with much of that money going toward energy-related issues. In short, no two people more epitomize the corrupting power and influence of the 1% over the 99% than the pollutocrats, Charles and David Koch. Now, one of the most prominent and vocal Koch-backed organizations, Americans for Prosperity, is spending $2.4 million on a new media campaign to highlight the Solyndra bankruptcy, releasing a one-minute television ad in key battleground states. The tagline: “Tell President Obama that you shouldn’t use taxpayer dollars for political favors.”

Why is Obama obstructing justice and ignoring a congressional subpena?
Because he thinks he can get away with it and to protect his crony enabler friends.....
Number of shallow, inadequate, hypocritical Leftards who have me on BOZO---3.......... That means I'm doing my job correctly !!!!!!!!! "CHANGE" you can step in..... Because he can. Once you're able to kill anyone you want at anytime for any reason.....you're Emperor....8D Only the Praetorian Guard can stop you....;}
Once you're able to kill anyone you want at anytime for any reason. Maybe I better shut up. I love Obama. Seriously I do.
Why is Don Corzine still not in jail? You all think that MfGlobal's over, eh? Re: World Markets - URL Post Sat Nov 05, 2011 8:47 am by mcgowanjm MR Margin on Line 1, sir. He told me to tell you that if you don't take his call your Accounts will be liquidated by Close of Market... :twisted: :? 8-) Monday PM.... :roll: :shock: :twisted: The CFTC and other regulators had the information right under their noses, but it appears they didn’t understand that they were looking at a leveraged credit derivative transaction that could lead to margin calls that MF Global would be unable to meet. Even if all the money can eventually be recovered, it doesn’t change the fact the MF Global took impermissible steps. Liar’s Poker Here’s a crazy but true side note. Michael Stockman, the chief risk officer of MF Global (as of January 2011), was in our Liar’s Poker training class lampooned by another classmate, Michael Lewis. More Liar’s Poker Last week when customers asked for excess cash from their accounts, MF Global stalled. According to a commodity fund manager I spoke with, MF Global’s first stall tactic was to claim it lost wire transfer =Tavakoli

You have to decipher your posts. But one thing I like about you is that you never make exescuses for Obama as war, mininggold, lucysmom, script intro do.
When All Commodities drop by 10% Monday, things will get a little less complicated. Margin Calls all around....there's something for everyone!!!! 8D
Did one of the kids hit you in the head with a baseball bat????
Number of shallow, inadequate, hypocritical Leftards who have me on BOZO---3.......... That means I'm doing my job correctly !!!!!!!!! "CHANGE" you can step in..... Obama is the best President ever. Even better then FDR and Jimmy Carter.
WOW... that's some pretty LOW company he's keeping..... Lower than snake shit in a wagon wheel rut!!!!
Number of shallow, inadequate, hypocritical Leftards who have me on BOZO---3.......... That means I'm doing my job correctly !!!!!!!!! "CHANGE" you can step in..... Cause I blew off his Bullshite and focused on his actions. Banksters/Military got exactly what they wanted from Day 1. And still do. Don Corzine was desperately trying to jump from MF Global to SecofTreasury. He didn't make it....Splat. Commodities will drop like a rock Monday.
And I'm seeing that on other sites...;} People thinking they're on these lists. Their problem is their 'lists' and secrets. They're so damn long and complicated, rat's nests is what they've become.
Which is why I was laughing at your post (yesterday, I think;). The one where DARPA's putting out fake classified. LMFAO Just what our gov't needs. More trash....8D
When I was in commodities, someone didn't get a money order for $100 000 to me same day? I'm on the fucking plane to Chicago if that's what it takes...;) $1.45 Billion....divide that by say $5700 margin per gold contract (the most expensive). To See how many people have been fucked over here.
boy those Koch brothers do some good political ads, make SOROS look like an amateur
You get what you pay for.

Failure to denounce is the same as support. Reminds me of purges under totalitarian regimes.

Reminds me of purges under totalitarian regimes. And there's such a long list I have yet to denounce.

Stone won't be able to show you, but that doesn't matter because he never backs up anything he posts. The thing is, you haven't called him a ni**er, which to him proves his point.

Keep in mind, the ad below lamenting “political favors” is being run by groups that have paid tens of thousands of dollars to sit down directly with other corporations and policy makers to write state laws, then engage in aggressive campaigns to get those laws passed.
