Women (men too) that have to undergo the ordeal of milder forms of breast cancer that doesn’t summon them to the ports of heaven as metastatic breast cancer can impose. The former might making an appointment  to do this.

basic information about breast cancer

We should be aware of what it is and how to recognize an inadvertent tumor that might develop in our bodies.

Is freedom of speech squandered away?

Just caught my eye via the best podcast in the universe river of news, people should be aware what is about to happen. The Senate Committee on Campaign Finance discussed a proposed Constitutional amendment, crafted so it seems, to change the first amendment regarding to free speech

Exactly why 39 Democrats are all-in on this is obvious. It is designed to eliminate dissent in America and these folks are worried about their jobs. Or is there more to it? You’ll hear a deconstruction not found anywhere else in the media.

the “best podcast in the universe” will deconstruct it coming Thursday. by the way .. the funniest podcast too!

Want to get a glimpse how Washington D.C. works? Read “This Town”

Last year Mark Leibovich wrote this gem where he lets the reader peek into the Washington D.C. cauldron that is best summarized as a mash of politicians, media figures, Machiavellianism, sex and quid pro quo’s.

Here’s Leibovich’s inspiration to write the book as he recently ‘divulged’ at a book fair.

I’m ready to start off again rereading Atlas Shrugged

This video lifts the boat for those who are inquisitive. I liked Fountainhead also very much.

Another look on Syria

Here I share an email from Syria from Mouhannad I’m Mouhannad, long time boner (he means he tried to donate money to become a producer of the No Agenda Show, the recipient of this email) although tried and always trying to figure out how to donate but it’s impossible to donate from Syria cuz we’re under US and EUROLand sanctions and our financial system is completely on another planet. here is an article about Father Frans van der Lugt who was killed in “Homs- Syria” two weeks ago. I found it confusing reading this article and reading his opinions in his Dutch letters, his letters describe the truth, or at least the most of it which I’m daily witnessing and living through. it’s confusing because when he was being interviewed by Arabic speaking TV stations like Aljazeera from Qatar, Alarabiya from Saudi Arabia or France 24 in its arabic edition, he was in Arabic always blaming the government fin every matter. hope you will find his dutch letters helpful to understand the whole situation here in Syria thank you and J. C. D. for your courage and the beautiful podcast. Best Regards

When reading Father Frans van der Lugt’s take on the Syrian situation it prompts the idea that the mainstream media doesn’t share to the right extent in accordance with the antagonistic U.N./U.S./European etc. and false story that president Bashar Al-Assad supposedly is the most evil man who needs to be ousted out of his position. The policemen (earlier described) of the world force themselves upon so-called states with evil dictators who kill their own people. Yes, that’s what’s propagated, but is it true?

Rubblizing Ukraine

We’ve the Geneva agreement, the document that calls for reciprocal actions to stabilize Ukraine. There’s disagreement between secretary of state Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about the Geneva deal. It was supposed to happen that both sides (U.S. and satellite state Ukraine, and Russia) to disarm the ultra-nationalists. And this didn’t happen in Kiev. Essentially the EU, US. and Russia didn’t keep their end of the bargain so it fell apart. 

Kerry is trying to keep this going on and did the Geneva speak with Kathy Ashton (High Representative of the EU). What is going to happen is that the Troika (International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank, and European Commission) is going to rape Ukraine, the Germans will get Donetsk (the city today remains the centre for Ukraine’s coal mining and notable steel industry centre.) Furthermore they want the pipelines, land. 

The IMF is looking at $27 billion of which $15 billion needs to go Russia for backpay, and Russia offered a bailout for $15 billion of the money owed for paying back gas and was rejected after Ukraine and the EU. Now foreign minister Lavrov is saying: “pay us.” The citizens of Ukraine will be paying a hell of a lot more for they energy.

The video is very insightful, your government at work, inciting despicable thoughts what operation they are running.

Matthew Lee is a hero and has a history of asking the right questions. He’s an Associated Press reporter who covers the State Department.

Why hasn’t he a show on CNN instead of Wolf Blitzer? Blitzer knows how to negate questions like Lee asks. Lee does his job fervently and tries to get the truth out of these hired actors whose job it is NOT to tell the truth. Guess what .. Blitzer who isn’t intrinsically interested in reporting the truth rakes in fortune and fame (and lots of dollars for his coffers).

Ah .. the world is twisted!!

You’ll be seeing Matt double teaming with Said. He isn’t having any of this bullcrap, the photo story .. the false narrative goes as follows: a guy who was wearing a non-uniform with a beard, he was in Russia, in Georgia and he’s a Russian soldier (fact!). Even the NYT has back-pedaled on thishttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/23/wor… )

Matt calls ( spokeswoman or actor if you will ) Psaki on this, the U.S. government at work, spokeswoman Psaki doesn’t shy away from a lie.

Today I watched Narrow Margin

I’m not someone who plans ahead when to watch tv because I don’t  recognize (anymore) the ‘trinkets’ it purports. Since I became aware of the Zen tv experiment among other things like knowing that the Main Stream Media is selling their public to the advertisers, henceforth, MSM is mostly creating stories out of news facts that are at best disseminating some truth, but largely are build on memes/fallacies that evoke whole real world industries like the Department of Homeland Security or the carbon credit taxation that will impose an extra burden on eventually the consumer/citizen where again, at best, there is no proof ex ante that it’ll decrease our anthropogenic footprint and when we look back into geological models (a few minutes searching on this or this) we can see that the planet has endured colder and much warmer era’s where co2-levels where up to 10 times higher than today (> 4.000 ppm). But that’s another topic, and before I go off on a tangent, let me constrain myself haha.

Narrow Margin and my train of thoughts about the financial industries

Mainly I want to disseminate in lieu of contaminating your mind with my thoughts. By sharing some clips from this great movie that engrosses beautifully what goes on in these ‘financial spheres’ where smart and very capable people who perhaps devote their time and apt traits benignly when they started to work in this particular industry, but inadvertently are molded into cunning and mainly-focused-on-their-next-promotion-with-an-abundant-paycheck employees whose moral standards perhaps are turning every year more vile? On the other hand the clip “Margin Call Best Quote by Will Emerson” that lays out beautifully it’s also the hedonistic and trying-to-emulate-our-neighbor approach of the citizen/consumer that unwittingly and maybe caused by inertia buys into the world of financial derivatives, because making use of these products enables them to live a more ‘happy’ life in their new car and bigger house that was built on grounds that for many unequivocally falls apart when regulations will inhibit in a utopian world, hence, is there an equilibrium of a financial institutions vs consumer seesaw?

Speech by Paul Bettany’s character, Will Emerson, from Margin Call (2011).

“If you really want to do this with your life you have to believe that you’re necessary. And you are. People want to live like this in their cars and their big fucking houses that they can’t even pay for? Then you’re necessary. The only reason they all get to continue living like kings is because we’ve got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and the whole world gets really fucking fair really fucking quickly and nobody actually wants that. They say they do but they don’t. They want what we have to give them, but they also want to play innocent and pretend they have no idea where it came from. That’s more hypocrisy than I’m willing to swallow. Fuck them. Fuck normal people.”

 

 

 

Another look in hindsight

Peter Wallison takes a critical look at the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and argues that it is based on a false narrative of what led to the 2008 economic collapse.  During this event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, Mr. Wallison is joined by Wayne Abernathy (Americans Bankers Association), John Allison (Cato Institute), and Hester Peirce (George Mason University). 

Bad History, Worse Policy: How a False Narrative about the Financial Crisis Led to the Dodd-Frank Act

My shorthand transcript of the above video

1550 the alternative view 1920



1930 financial regulators 2045
2046 securities market wields more power than plain lending money at a bank 2135
2255L example of an epiphany that gov securitized mortgages 3 times as many I.E. NEWS MEDIA IS WORSE THAN BAD 2932 intro …
3730 panel member John Allison (former CEO BBNT) says it’s the fed (and FDIC) exist mayhem will crack down on the economy, leveraging itself enormously 4000
4228 Dodd-Frank will bring more SIFI’s to the table 4319

4320 IF YOU TELL A STORY ENOUGH IT BECOMES TRUE pointing to Dodd-Frank 4453

4455 AIG was crucial (derivatives) D. were not only the thing and the fact that AIG was insolvent was obscured NOT CONVENIENT 4606

4607 after Dodd-Frank false narratives are utilized to gain more regulation CFTC wielding influence in London 4640


4643 why is it that the fed gets to regulate banks and insurance entities without experience? 4725

4727 remaining Q could the Ordily ? Liquidation Authority be a force for good? #OLA 4802
4900 the detrimental role the fed had (it caused contraction) is now recognised, but in the first decade of 21st century the choice to do the opposite is not a guarantee to a solution 5139

5231 the Dodd-Frank act has succeeded to replace the financial crisis with a regulatory crisis 5411

5412 the deregulation in the, wall of regulation is just about to be unleashed just when the housing market is to recooperate 80s and 90s didn’t feel so 5454


5455 Gramley-Twily Act created a whole new regulator of privacy regulation subjecting financial institutions to the SEC regulations

To parse through (if you’ve the time)

Worth looking at

Some links and a review. Still, the two main areas of disagreement should not be construed as a negative comment about Wallison’s excellent book.  Bad History, Worse Policy is an essential read that will bring light to readers eager to understand what happened, where previously there was darkness.  Readers will be enthralled, and for the amazing information and analysis within, this is a book that they’ll always keep handy.  It’s that good.
