Correction: Hitler was a jew who did not kill 6-million jews, but did help kill 55-million Christians and establish Israel in Palestine. But if you publish that fact in a book you get kidnapped from your hoem in Tennessee and deported for a life sentence on deathrow in ZioNazi Germany.

Thou Shalt Not Be Critical Of Thy Goldman-Sachs !

'...In May of 2008, Goldman Sachs warned that oil could reach as much as $200/barrel within the next 12-24 months [up to May 2010]. Interestingly, “Goldman Sachs is one of the largest Wall Street investment banks trading oil and it could profit from an increase in prices.”[27] However, this is missing the key point. Not only would Goldman Sachs profit, but Goldman Sachs plays a major role in sending oil prices up in the first place.

As Ed Wallace pointed out in an article in Business Week in May of 2008, Goldman Sachs’ report placed the blame for such price hikes on “soaring demand” from China and the Middle East, combined with the contention that the Middle East has or would soon peak in its oil reserves. Wallace pointed out that:

Goldman Sachs was one of the founding partners of online commodities and futures marketplace Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). And ICE has been a primary focus of recent congressional investigations; it was named both in the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' June 27, 2006, Staff Report and in the House Committee on Energy & Commerce's hearing last December. Those investigations looked into the unregulated trading in energy futures, and both concluded that energy prices' climb to stratospheric heights has been driven by the billions of dollars' worth of oil and natural gas futures contracts being placed on the ICE—which is not regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.[28]

Essentially, Goldman Sachs is one of the key speculators in the oil market, and thus, plays a major role in driving oil prices up on speculation. This must be reconsidered in light of the resurgent rise in oil prices in 2009. In July of 2009, “Goldman Sachs Group Inc. posted record earnings as revenue from trading and stock underwriting reached all-time highs less than a year after the firm took $10 billion in U.S. rescue funds.”[29] Could one be related to the other?

'...But is it fair to say the wizards of Wall Street (Goldman Sachs, this means you) are picking our pockets, or are they really the smartest guys in the room after all?

Let’s start with Duhigg’s explanation of how it works:

As new marketplaces have emerged, PCs have been unable to compete with Wall Street’s computers. Powerful algorithms — “algos,” in industry parlance — execute millions of orders a second and scan dozens of public and private marketplaces simultaneously. They can spot trends before other investors can blink, changing orders and strategies within milliseconds.

High-frequency traders often confound other investors by issuing and then canceling orders almost simultaneously. Loopholes in market rules give high-speed investors an early glance at how others are trading. And their computers can essentially bully slower investors into giving up profits — and then disappear before anyone even knows they were there.

High-frequency traders also benefit from competition among the various exchanges, which pay small fees that are often collected by the biggest and most active traders — typically a quarter of a cent per share to whoever arrives first. Those small payments, spread over millions of shares, help high-speed investors profit simply by trading enormous numbers of shares, even if they buy or sell at a modest loss.'

-wall-street-picking-our-pockets/

'...Powerful computers, some housed right next to the machines that drive marketplaces like the New York Stock Exchange, enable high-frequency traders to transmit millions of orders at lightning speed and, their detractors contend, reap billions at everyone else’s expense.

These systems are so fast they can outsmart or outrun other investors, humans and computers alike. And after growing in the shadows for years, they are generating lots of talk.

Nearly everyone on Wall Street is wondering how hedge funds and large banks like Goldman Sachs are making so much money so soon after the financial system nearly collapsed. High-frequency trading is one answer.

And when a former Goldman Sachs programmer was accused this month of stealing secret computer codes — software that a federal prosecutor said could “manipulate markets in unfair ways” — it only added to the mystery. Goldman acknowledges that it profits from high-frequency trading, but disputes that it has an unfair advantage.'

I love Ben Stein! He's awesome. He should be in charge of the treasury or something. The man knows his craft. And he's the only financial guy I have ever seen with a sense of humor. How can anyone not love Ben Stein?

I'm sorry: my two cents: Stein is a moron, and was fired for being an embarrassment.

Correction: Hitler was not a jew, and did kill 6 million jews, but the EU law is still wrong, because it stifles not only free speech by investigation into one of the worst crimes in human history.

Pirate News: Here's where I disagree with your logic:

1. Yes, Hitler was partly of jewish descent, everyone knows this. But he did not attend a synagogue or have a rabbi, he was iirc a lutheran, no offense to them, but a kind of christian. Being a christian makes him not a jew.

2. The polish and russian/ukrainians who made up the bulk of his civilian victims and military victims combined included at least 6 million jews. The fact that these people had little or no semitic ancestory was not relevent: They attended services of a rabbi, etc. Their ancestors, as we all know, were converted in the middle ages. They were still jews.

3. The point being: Judaism is a religion, not a race. Members of a religion can still be victims of genocide. (check out Islam, right now. There is no race that unifies the victims of our recent conflicts, but there is a religion) Also, similarly to romans in ancient times and the inquisition re: europe.

That said, Ben Stein is a douchebag, and I would fire him. His theories are bogus, and he's an embarrassment to anyone he stands beside. My guess is that they were just waiting for an opportunity, and he slipped up, they caught him at something, the end.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Would genocide of a religious group be deicide or some such? I feel it should have its own name.

--Anthony

P.S. I used to watch Win Ben Stein's Money, and I thought he was entertaining there. I did feel the show needed to reward its contestants better.

Hello,

In watching the video at the top with Ben Stein, and I quickly came to realize that Piratenews makes use of these same propaganda techniques.

Only if you are killing the god.

I personally don't care for the term "democide." Genocide should suffice, but if it were, theocide would be correct.
