Zuccotti Park Raided – Latest on OWS

Bears Chat at The Wall Street Examiner — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:21:28 +0000

Zuccotti Park Being Raided NOW, If You Can, Join #OWS

Readers in comments and via e-mail noted that there seems to be national coordination on the crackdowns. This message came from reader Deontos:

Twitter chatter in #occupy is that local police are now on FEDERAL payroll in a number of municipalities and god knows WHO they are taking orders from. It sure has the appearance of coordinated action nationwide.

I do NOT have confirmation of the Twitter chat, so any reader intelligence is welcome.

Update 3:40 AM: Mike check: people in the kitchen were teargassed, wrestled to the ground and are being arrested individually. The others are being kept far enough away behind barricades to prevent images being captured. The live feed reports that people are being dragged out by their arms and legs. The police have learned to prevent video capture of their actions so as to prevent backlash. Bye bye free press.

In Case You Missed It…The World Ends Today

Bears Chat at The Wall Street Examiner — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:04:46 +0000

Harold Camping predicted a Rapture would take place on May 21, 2011. The world would experience terrible natural disasters, and only the chosen ones would survive.

Well, he was wrong.

But Camping is back, and he's sure the world will actually end October 21, and this time it will end quietly.

He hasn't told us a specific time for the world to end, so we gathered up a bunch of live webcams so you can tune in to see what's going on where.

(The end-of-worlders say that God's going to respect time zones, and make the end of the world a rolling thing, so if we see it happening in Europe, we'll have some time to prepare).

The World Will End On October 21

Bears Chat at The Wall Street Examiner — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:40:01 +0000

The doomsayer who swore that the world was going to end on May 21, Harold Camping, is doubling down.

Last spring, you'll recall, Camping predicted that "The Rapture" would arrive as a series of rolling earthquakes beginning at precisely 6PM on May 21.

God was well aware of time zones, Camping said, and therefore understood that 6PM was a rolling event around the world. This allowed us to establish links to live web-cams, so our readers could watch the world end in real-time, starting in Auckland, New Zealand.

Of course, the world didn't end. But, despite suffering a stroke in June, Camping isn't backing down. Last spring, he quickly admitted to some disappointment that the world hadn't ended, but immediately changed his forecast to October 21. And now he says that the rapture did, in fact, commence on May 21, it's just that no one noticed.

I am Microsoft free

For anyone interested in such things, this my experience

When my new computer arrived, I bought windows 7 in an unconscious, automaton type way.
Then, while trying to troubleshoot my old dead windows box, I used linux to run some hardware tests. I was surprised at how easy it was to use.
I have just finished the set up and install of Ubuntu 11.04 and it was not what I would call easy but neither was it overwhelming ( thank god for google).
Checking to make sure the hardware is supported by linux makes life much easier.
The longest part of the install was the wireless internet, followed by the Outlook & Quicken migration.
Word docs and Excel SSs were a breeze.

So I returned Windows 7 and I won't be buying MS Office & a new Quicken.
I am using Libre Office (Evolution to replace Outlook)
KMyMoney in place of Quicken

So far, I am quite happy with the new setup

This smacks of contagion. Maybe those who fear margin hikes in their neighborhood are scampering away. I find myself with somewhat mixed emotions on all this. On the one hand, flushing out the speculators works for me. On the other hand, setting up a sporting event and then changing the rules repeatedly would not likely get good Nielsen Ratings. Thank god, however, they hike margin requirements when the equity markets get out of hand.

Ron Paul Questions Bernanke In Congress

a Wall Street Examiner — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 11:47:01 +0000

Paul has five meinutes and all he can do is pontificate about the dollar for 3 1/2 minutes and finally ask Bernanke: "What is your definition of a dollar?" Interestingly, Bernanke replies, "That's a veery qood question you ask, Congressman". Translated: "Thanks for fielding me yet another of your famous softballs..."

Look, I have serious doubts about Ron Paul. He's not the sharpest tack in the box. I understand that. He's probably a brilliant obstetrician but medical school does not translate into the study of economics. The truth is he's always seemed to me to know very little about economics and certainly not enough to spar effectively with Bernanke which, I believe, is why he always only dares ask Bernanke a question right at the end of his five minutes each time in Congress. He knows he probably could not counterargue Bernanke's response without looking stupid and he doesn't want to take the risk.

This was what I used to (and continue to) think. But I now believe something else. I think Paul is not genuinely interested in changing anything. He's the nearest thinkg to a stooge that you can get wihtout actually being one. He never gives Bernanke any trouble. His 'end-the-Fed' jargon is toothless and appears more and more like posturing to me. I am becoming deeply suspicious of him and God knows, I contributed enough money to his presidential campaign. I used to think he just wasn't up to the job. I am now beginning to believe that he's set himself up as the straw man and that his motives are not what they seem.

Any ideas?

And Europe is completely ramped and camped--a total flatliner. God these guys are good. I don't think Tiger could stick it up that tight and hold it there (which, I just realized, is a very ambiguous metaphor.)

Kids and creativity…

Little girl in the a back of the classroom tells the teacher, "I am drawing a picture of God." The teacher says, "But nobody knows what God looks like." The girl says, "They will in a minute."

I am not sure we are educated out of creativity, but we sure have more as a kid. This is a very funny video...

Goldman’s Earnings Down On Security Costs

Newswires — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:43:13 +0000

by Jorma

Dec. 1- (The Stool Pigeons Wire) Shares of Goldman Sachs fell this morning on the announcement that its earnings will fall significantly due to expenses related to providing security for its partners and facilities. A $20 billion dollar contract with Homeland Security will be administered by Xe, formerly Blackwater, who will provide security for the firm. CEO Lloyd Blankfein noted the expenses will not effect the expected $35 billion in bonuses to be paid out this year for doing God’s work.
