Headlines: We Are Not In It! Are You? How can a Plutocracy Government prosecute one of their own? In other words, the puzzle is not supposed to be solved… (From top to bottom)
After its yearlong investigation, the Justice Department said that it will not bring charges against Goldman Sachs or any of its employees for financial fraud related to the mortgage crisis. Is this justice or, as Gerald Celente often says, is this "just us" big bankers getting away with whatever we want?
Also, Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services threatened to revoke Standard Chartered's banking license after accusing the bank of laundering billions for Iran. Have we found someone to take on the big banks? This action has set off backlash from Federal regulators.
Are they going after the New York regulator for doing his job or is the regulator going rogue? We will discuss with Gerald Celente, Founder of Trends Research Institute & Publisher of the Trends Journal.
Plus, the Libor benchmark interest rates must be changed or replaced, says Britain's financial regulator. The regulator also said the future of other benchmarks, including oil, gold, and stock prices, is also under scrutiny. We ask Gerald Celente if there any place to invest that is not rigged.
Excerpts: 11 Things That Can Happen When You Allow Your Country To Become Enslaved By Bankers
But this is what happens when you allow the bankers to trap your country in debt. The central banking systems of the world are designed to be endless debt spirals that systematically transfer wealth from the people through the governments and into the hands of the ultra-wealthy.
Just look at what is happening in the United States. The U.S. national debt is now more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was first created.
Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and the rest of the nations of the western world did not get into all this debt by accident.
Excerpts: More Rising Food Prices? Grocery Bills to Skyrocket as Drought Crushes Crop Production
But of course this isn’t the beginning of rising food prices.
Costs have been going up for some time now; you can see a food price index here in an article we covered around just last Thanksgiving. The food index count, which is an overall score reflecting the total price of the top 6 food commodities, rose to 215 in December of 2010 — up from 90 in the year 2000. Sugar spearheaded the spike, hitting only 2 points away from the 400 mark in December of 2010.

Headlines: Dr. Paul Craig Roberts - Friday’s Jobs Report: More Lies From “our” Big Brother!!! And 2 Party Systems Must “GO” THERE IS NO LEFT OR RIGHT PARADIGM! THERE IS ONLY GLOBAL TYRANNY OR GLOBAL LIBERTY! #Agenda21#2ndAmendmentRights
Jobs numbers are out for July. Total non-farm payroll employment rose by 163,000, beating expectations of 100,000, and the headline unemployment rate inched up from last month to 8.3%. But given seasonal and birth-death adjustments how much stock can you put in these numbers, and how does the election year factor in? We talk to Michael Krieger, author and creator of libertyblitzkreig.com .
Also, US stocks rose today after the jobs report, sending the S&P toward the highest level since May, according to Bloomberg. We talk to Michael Krieger about if and when the stock market will catch up with a reality far more dismal than the adjusted and doctored economic data reflects.
Plus, the London Whale was encouraged to boost London Whale trade valuations, according to the Wall Street Journal. Also Bank of America is in the thick of the Libor probe, receiving subpoenas for information from investigators over how the bank set Libor. Plus, RBS has dismissed four employees for trying to rig Libor and set aside £310 million to deal with its misdeeds. Should average folks get out of this 'rigged casino' and where can they go? We talk to Michael Krieger, Principal of Krieger Asset Management.
COMMENTS: Lauren Lyster and Michael Krieger talked about the CLOWN candidates, Baritt Obamney for a few minutes. Below is my take for Twin Party Dictatorship #TPD – Plutocracy Government: 2 Party Systems MUST End!
Whose candidate is going to win in the rigged 2 party system election? Let alone that there are more brain-dead people than AWAKE?! #TPD DO NOT be a#HumanRoBOT#TotalCONTROL
Excerpts: Friday’s Jobs Report: More Lies From “our” Big Brother!!!
I will spare the readers an explanation of Williams’ account of the manipulation that is occurring as it is too arcane for the general reader. Instead, Let’s just apply common sense. According to the BLS, there were 163,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs created in July. This figure is about 13,000 more jobs than is needed to keep pace with population growth. Therefore, the unemployment rate should have declined fractionally. Instead, the unemployment rate (U3) rose from 8.2% to 8.3%.
The government that lies to you about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, about Iraq’s al Qaeda connections, about the Taliban in Afghanistan, about Osama bin Laden, about Libya and Gadhafi, about Iranian nukes, about Syria, about Pakistan, about Yemen and Somalia, about Bradley Manning, about Julian Assange and Wikileaks, indeed about everything under the sun, also lies to you about jobs, unemployment, economic recovery, GDP growth, 9/11, the “terrorist threat,” everything. Try to find anything that the government has said over the past 6 presidential terms that is not a lie.
Appearing during the middle two hours, former wrestler, actor, governor, and bestselling author, Jesse Ventura, shared his contention that the ineptitude and gang-like mentalities of both the Republicans and the Democrats have allowed corporations, businesses, and politically-motivated wealthy individuals to manipulate elections, and silence the average American voter. The Democrats and Republicans deliberately discourage third party candidates, and make it difficult for them to participate in the presidential debates, he noted. These two big parties are "very much like pro-wrestling," he commented. "In front of the public they're adversaries and they're going to kill each other, while behind the scenes they're working together-- they're business partners."
The two-party system keeps people stupid, with conservatives automatically voting for Republicans, and liberals voting for Democrats, without considering the individual merits of each candidate, he continued. In the upcoming November presidential election, it doesn't matter who wins-- we'll still get the same policies, he argued (Ventura said he is supporting the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson). If Ventura were President, among the things he said he'd do is close America's foreign military bases, enact campaign finance reform to eliminate the "system of bribery," and abolish income tax and switch to a national sales tax.
He also spoke about the mysterious death of past C2C guest Dr. Fred Bell, who the day before he died of a heart attack, had flown to Minnesota to tape a whistle-blower segment on free energy for Ventura's TV show, Conspiracy Theory. Off the record, Bell told him that he had a CIA handler who was going to go ballistic when he found out about the interview. Further, Ventura reported that all 8 episodes of Season 3 of his series were completed by November 2011, but has yet to air. George norry, art bell, George Knapp,
3rd World Peeps of A strongly agrees on Gerald Celente to NOT vote at all. We are hoping that 40% or fewer of Human RoBOT will vote for Baritt Obamney!
Why?
By doing so, the rigged election will be invalid and We the People, 60% of us will demand new election. The Puppeteers and the GREAT Puppets, Baritt Obamney, knows that they only have combined 40% or fewer votes. Now, there’s no way that#TPD could cheat the election because it is darn pretty obvious.
That will be a HUGE WAKE up for American People if that happens! We CONTROL our votes NOT the #TPD We just have to show them that… #FreeYourMind#MastersVsSlaves

News article: The Real Libor Scandal ~Paul Craig Roberts and Nomi Prins http://ow.ly/clov3
Today we survey the Wall Street hijinks. From potential big bank criminal wrongdoing in the Libor scandal reported by the Justice Department, to regulators answering for the money laundering probe at HSBC, to a former Citigroup banker accused of misleading clients in a CDO deal. Does this continue because of the lack of senior executive level convictions for financial crimes? We hear from Charles Ferguson, director of Inside Job and author of Predator Nation who wrote about that on the Huffington Post today. After all of the work he's done, he tells us the price he's paid personally for shining the light Wall Street's underbelly.
And returning to the issue of LIBOR, and the scandal there, the current picture painted is one that shows banks benefiting from borrowing at low rates through interest rate manipulation. But our guest, former assistant Treasury secretary, Paul Craig Roberts, argues that this is too simplistic and that it functions as a diversion from the deeper, darker scandal.
The dirty little secret (well, not so secret if you can do basic math) is that banks have been living off borrowed time since the onset of the 2008 financial crisis. They have assets on their books that they refuse to mark to market, and are dependent on cheap financing and easy liquidity to keep their insolvency from officially bankrupting their institutions. This is what characterizes a zombie bank, and zombie banks no longer speak only Japanese. This is a western phenomenon now, with the zombie virus having crossed the pacific, and then again the Atlantic.
Paul Craig Roberts, Economist and Former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury under Reagan, will discuss what he calls "the real Libor scandal," and tell us what we may all be missing from this latest hullaballoo.
