Oiled Crabs’
Fox 8 (New Orleans) reports on an “alarming discovery” made by Mississippi fishermen — around a half dozen “full-sized crabs filled with some sort of black substance.”
The find “has many wondering what’s happening below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico.”
“You could tell it was real slick and dark,” said one of the men who discovered the crab, a longtime seafood supplier and owner of Gulf Shores Sea Products. After opening the shell, he said “The lungs of the crabs — you could see the black.” According to Fox 8, “He said he’s never seen anything like it… crab’s lungs are normally a white.”
Fox 8 reports that this seafood supplier said “some of the largest processing facilities in the country say they just can’t buy from him right now because

Where's the oil
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/the-bp-disaster-continues_b_670937.html
Don't get caught up in the false bravado that everything is A-Ok now, because it's really not.

Last week, Time magazine published the headline: "The BP Spill: Has the Damage Been Exaggerated?" This coincided, practically to the day, with the emergence of a whistleblower from the EPA, Hugh Kaufman, who explained to Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC that humans and aquatic life forms alike were "bleeding from their orifices" due to the volume of chemical dispersant dumped in the water and onto dry land by crop-dusters and by various other methods. That's right, according to Kaufman, people and animals are evidently suffering from some kind of anal hemorrhaging because the dispersants are liquefying their internal organs.
And we still don't know exactly how much Corexit was used. BP reports that it was 1.8 million gallons -- which is still a lot. But that's based upon a standard of using no more than 3,365 gallons in a single day. Congressman Ed Markey, this past weekend, learned that on at least two occasions, BP used as much as 36,000 gallons of Corexit in a single day.
Meanwhile, as for the rest of the oil, it didn't take long for muckraking reporters like Mac McClelland to find it. As she read the AP report quoting Thad Allen's "where's the oil at?" statement, McClelland texted a reporter friend who instantly wrote back from an off-limits beach -- a beach covered in oil.
And yesterday, we learned that oil is pooling just below the top layers of earth and sand. This shouldn't come as any surprise, since the exact same phenomenon occurred at the beaches surrounding Prince William Sound. To this day, you can visit the site of the Exxon Valdez disaster and, with a cup of water and a scoop of sand, find the oil.
But the press, government officials and BP pitchmen are insulting our intelligence by suggesting that the oil has vanished and there's nothing to worry about

Reckless Europe beats reckless America at property bubbles
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/ambroseevans-pritchard/100007092/reckless-europe-beats-reckless-america-at-property-bubbles/
I think Ambrose has underestimated the US inventory, or he just hasn't figured out that the banks have it well hid off their balance sheets, but that's beside the point. The point is how many countries that he points out who all coincidentally had the same type of bubble at the same time.
What a convenient coincidence, or is it? It would seem to me that the same type of banking model practice has been put to extensive use world wide, and world wide it blew up into their face.
Can you see the outline of a plot here, that was FED fortified?
Or else the world got stupid all at the same time.
The we didn't know excuse just doesn't wash anymore
This was an intentional take down.
Once and for all, let us nail the lie that the global credit crisis was basically a US sub-prime property bubble that went wrong, and that Europe was merely an innocent bystander hit by shrapnel.
This is the property bubble chart on Page 12 of the IMF’s latest report (Article IV) on France.
As you can see, France had the most extreme price rises from 1997 to 2009, followed by Spain and Italy some way below.
The Anglo-Saxons were more moderate. The US bubble was tame by comparison (measured by price: inventory overhang is another matter) and has largely corrected. This the American way, a short sharp purge. The Club Med bubbles have not corrected, by a long shot.

Senate Cuts Food Stamp Funds; Leaves Oil and Gas Subsidies Intact
http://food.change.org/blog/view/senate_cuts_food_stamp_funds_leaves_oil_and_gas_subsidies_intact
Times are better now, and besides the government needs that extra money to help make sure there are actually teachers when your child goes back to school this year.
From what I understand between 3-400,000 won't be coming back to school this year to teach our children, unless the government forks over for their salary, because the States don't have it, to be able to gainfully employ them.
America's poor rarely catch a break these days. The Senate is expected to vote today for a bill that will cut food stamp benefits by $6.1 billion to help fund Medicaid and teachers' jobs, reasoning they were too high now that food costs are lower than predicted. Proponents essentially argued that poor people had too much money for food.
As the Washington Post's Ezra Klein explains, last year's federal Recovery Act increased the amount of money for food stamps, or the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), to about $80 more per household each month. Amid the recession and high unemployment, about six million more people registered for the program in the past year alone, so program costs boomed from $20 billion to $65 billion. Meanwhile, food prices have deflated from last year's high rates. Now people are able to get more bang for their buck, hence the Senate's idea to cut payments. It's frustrating not only because America's poor, working, and middle class are suffering at record levels and could use this tiny leg up, but also because it's a really stupid cut for the overall economic picture: According to Klein, food stamps serve as one of the best forms of stimulus money, to the tune of $1.70 of activity for every dollar spent. In other words, our economy desperately needs this.
"This is also a question of priorities," Klein writes, explaining that the Senate voted against proposed cuts to oil and gas subsidies, and may continue tax cuts for the wealthy. "But food assistance for poor families? You can get the votes to slash those."

Secret Banking Cabal Emerges From AIG Shadows: David Reilly
http://noir.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aaIuE.W8RAuU
I'd say more like Timmy played the "system" rather than saved the system.
Congress never agreed to the bailout money being spent for the purpose of buying
credit default swaps, the "People" would have strung them up if they had.
This should be seen for exactly what it was: The junkies were caught without a fix and Timmy copped them a score on money they fronted from us the taxpayer, even after we told congress in an exceptionally loud voice.....NO BAILOUT
The House heard "Us" but the Senate chose to just ignore "The People", so that Timmy could do his dealing, and now because of Timmy's dealings the FED is the proud owners of all the garbage that Timmy arranged to buy for them, and the 30 million dollar a month payment for it, has only just begun and the FED is now foreclosing on people to ensure that, that payment is met.
Saving the System
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was head of the New York Fed at the time of the AIG moves. He maintained during Wednesday’s hearing that the New York bank had to buy the insurance contracts, known as credit default swaps, to keep AIG from failing, which would have threatened the financial system.
The hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform also focused on what many in Congress believe was the New York Fed’s subsequent attempt to cover up buyout details and who benefited.
By pursuing this line of inquiry, the hearing revealed some of the inner workings of the New York Fed and the outsized role it plays in banking. This insight is especially valuable given that the New York Fed is a quasi-governmental institution that isn’t subject to citizen intrusions such as freedom of information requests, unlike the Federal Reserve.
This impenetrability comes in handy since the bank is the preferred vehicle for many of the Fed’s bailout programs. It’s as though the New York Fed was a black-ops outfit for the nation’s central bank.
Geithner’s Bosses
The New York Fed is one of 12 Federal Reserve Banks that operate under the supervision of the Federal Reserve’s board of governors, chaired by Ben Bernanke. Member-bank presidents are appointed by nine-member boards, who themselves are appointed largely by other bankers.
As Representative Marcy Kaptur told Geithner at the hearing: “A lot of people think that the president of the New York Fed works for the U.S. government. But in fact you work for the private banks that elected you.”
And yet the New York Fed played an integral role in the government’s bailout of banks, often receiving surprisingly free rein to act as it saw fit.

Foreclosed On—By the U.S.

Lets all remember what the FED actually is, and that would be a private institution
The Federal Reserve System (12 Fed Res banks) is a private entity - according to the 1913 Federal Reserve Bank Act - owned by its shareholders (national banks). The Chairman is appointed by the US President,and confirmed by the US Senate to give it the sense of being a federal agency, but it most certainly is not.
So who my friends is foreclosing on the trash called assets that Bear Stearns died owning or owing upon as the case actually now presents itself to be?
The Federal Reserve is, NOT the US Government.
That's a point I feel should be made very clear now that the monthly 30 million dollar payments loom large for the acceptance of the responsibility of Bear's blowout.
The FED owes and is responsible for the repayment of the money, which they borrowed supposedly in good faith,from the American taxpayer.
Those CDS's are going to be an extremely hard swallow since they are now seen for what they are, absolutely worthless.
James Currell is struggling to prevent his Minnesota home from being foreclosed. But his lender isn't a bank. It is the U.S. government.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is facing the prospect of foreclosing on a number of properties in the coming months, from homes to commercial buildings, a result of a souring mortgage portfolio it took over when it helped bail out Bear Stearns in 2008.
As it deals with delinquent borrowers, a team of New York Fed officials and outside advisers are trying to avoid having the U.S. government, along with local sheriff's departments, seize commercial properties and homes as it copes with falling real-estate values. In the process, the New York Fed is getting a hard lesson in the challenges of mortgage lending.
It is an unprecedented test for the most powerful of 12 regional branches of the Federal Reserve System. In its 96-year history, the Fed hasn't made or controlled loans to U.S. citizens and businesses outside of banking since the 1930s, when it was done on a much smaller scale. Now, under the watchful eye of Congress, the New York Fed must recoup a $29 billion loan secured by the Bear assets.
"For the Fed to come in and foreclose on properties puts it at some reputational and political risk," said Vincent Reinhart, a former senior Fed staffer who is now an economist

Mentally Disabled Chicago Teenager Gang-Raped In South Side Basement
http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpps/news/national/disabled-chicago-teenager-gang-raped-south-side-basement-20100802_8976928
This is the mentality of America!
Welcome to the new world order!
The nightmare began when the victim (FOX is not revealing her identity, or her mother's) momentarily left her Bronzeville apartment to take out the trash. She never came back; her mother found the trash on the ground in the alley less than ten minutes later.
Police say the teen's kidnappers took her to a little-used laundry room in the basement of a Washington Park apartment building, where she was forced to have sex with multiple men.
"You know what she told me? She said that it was 'a long line, mommy. It was a lot of people, a big, long line'," the victim's mother said.
"She said, 'Mommy, there were little boys and big men.'" Police say it was a gang rape that lasted nearly a day.
"She was bruised from head to toe. They hit her. She had big patches of her hair pulled out," her mother said, on the verge of tears.
"They couldn't hardly examine her because she was bleeding so bad and she was ripped so bad," her mother explained. An unknown man led her out of the basement, her mother said
Although the victim is 18-years-old, her mother said her mental disability means "she's actually the equivalent of 4 or 5 on a good day."
A young man named Jacque, also 17, was questioned by the police but not charged.
"I went down there. I didn't see what they were doing, but I knew," he explained, his words trailing off. He said he saw about six men in the basement with the girl, but he insisted, "I didn't partake in nothing." Still, he added, "I don't think she was raped because she let them do it. She wasn't screaming or nothing."
Philip Brown's mother agrees. "I don't think they raped her. I think it was her own free will to have sex with them."
