Wall Street Will Be Back for More
Posted on Jan 10, 2010
By Chris Hedges
Corporations, which control the levers of power in government and finance, promote and empower the psychologically maimed. Those who lack the capacity for empathy and who embrace the goals of the corporation—personal power and wealth—as the highest good succeed. Those who possess moral autonomy and individuality do not. And these corporate heads, isolated from the mass of Americans by insular corporate structures and vast personal fortunes, are no more attuned to the misery, rage and pain they cause than were the courtiers and perfumed fops who populated Versailles on the eve of the French Revolution. They play their games of high finance as if the rest of us do not exist. And it is a game that will kill us.
These companies exist in a pathological world where identity and personal worth are determined solely by the perverted code of the corporation. The corporation decides who has value and who does not, who advances and who is left behind. It rewards the most compliant, craven and manipulative, and discards the losers who can't play the game, those who do not accumulate wealth or status fast enough, or who fail to fully subsume their individuality into the corporate collective. It dominates the internal and external lives of its employees, leaving them without time for family or solitude—without time for self-reflection—and drives them into a state of perpetual nervous exhaustion. It breaks them down, especially in their early years in the firm, a period in which they are humiliated and pressured to work such long hours that many will sleep under their desks. This hazing process, one that is common at corporate newspapers where I worked, including The New York Times, eliminates from the system most of those with backbone, fortitude and dignity.
No one thinks in groups. And this is the point. The employees who advance are vacant and supine. They are skilled drones, often possessed of a peculiar kind of analytical intelligence and drive, but morally, emotionally and creatively crippled. Their intellect is narrow and inhibited. They rely on the corporation, as they once relied on their high-priced elite universities and their SAT scores, for validation. They demand that they not be treated as individuals but as members of the great collective of Goldman Sachs or AIG or Citibank. They talk together. They exchange information. They make deals. They compromise. They debate. But they do not think. They do not create. All capacity for intuition, for unstructured thought, for questions of meaning deemed impractical or frivolous by the firm, the qualities that always precede discovery and creation, are banished, as William H. Whyte observed in his book "The Organization Man." The iron goals of greater and greater profit, order and corporate conformity dominate their squalid belief systems. And by the time these corporate automatons are managing partners or government bureaucrats they cannot distinguish between right and wrong. They are deaf, dumb and blind to the common good.
These deeply stunted and maladjusted individuals, from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to Robert Rubin to Lawrence Summers to the heads of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America, hold the fate of the nation in their hands. They have access to trillions of taxpayer dollars and are looting the U.S. Treasury to sustain reckless speculation. The financial and corporate system alone validates them. It defines them. It must be served. This is why e-mails from the New York Fed to AIG, telling the bailed-out insurer not to make public the overpaying of Wall Street firms with taxpayer money, were sent when Geithner was in charge of the government agency. These criminals sold the public investments they knew to be trash. They used campaign contributions and lobbyists to turn elected officials into stooges and gut oversight and regulation. They took over retirement savings and pensions and wiped them out. And then they seized some $13 trillion in taxpayer money so they could lend it to us with interest. It is circular theft. This is why we will endure another catastrophic financial collapse. This is why firms like Goldman Sachs are more dangerous to the nation than al-Qaida.
"The psychology is about winning, and winning is marked by the level of compensation and bonuses and the power you have within the firm," Nomi Prins, the author of "It Takes a Pillage" and a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, told me by phone from California. "Every investment bank is like a mini-country. The political maneuvering and the differences between individuals who run certain areas and move up the ladder of the company are not necessarily decided by a vote. They move up depending on how close they are to the person [above them]. If that person moves up they move up with them. A certain set of loyalties get created. It is an intense competition all the time. You have trading and doing deals with clients, but the result is to push people up the ladder and to make money."
Square, Site wide
How you make money and how you climb the ladder of the corporate structure are irrelevant. Success becomes its own morality. Those who do well in this environment possess the traits often exhibited by psychopaths—superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance, a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception and manipulation, and the incapacity for remorse or guilt. They, like competitors on a reality television program, lie, cheat and betray to climb over those around them and advance. These demented individuals are admired and envied within the firm. They achieve heroic status. The lower-ranking employees are supposed to emulate them. And this makes Goldman Sachs and other speculative financial firms upscale lunatic asylums where the inmates wear Brooks Brothers suits and drink expensive chardonnay. Our problem is that the lunatics have been let out of the asylum. They have been empowered to cannibalize the government on behalf of the corporations that spawned them like mutant carp.
These corporations don't make anything. They don't produce anything. They gamble and bet and speculate. And when they lose vast sums they raid the U.S. Treasury so they can go back and do it again. Never mind that $50 trillion in global wealth was erased between September 2007 and March 2009, including $7 trillion in the U.S. stock market and $6 trillion in the housing market. Never mind that the total amount of retirement and household wealth trashed was $7.5 trillion or that we saw $2 trillion in 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts evaporate. Never mind the $1.9 trillion in traditional defined-benefit plans and the $2.6 trillion in nonpension assets that went up in smoke. Never mind the job losses, the foreclosures and the 35 percent jump in personal and small-business bankruptcies. There are bundles of new money, taken again from us, to make deals and hand out outrageous bonuses. And when these trillions run out they will come back for more until our currency becomes junk. Not that any of these people have thought this through. They are too busy focused on the pathetic, little monuments they are building to themselves and the intricacies of court intrigue.

It may be a mechanical problem. CDs and DVDs are frequently read with different set of optics in combo drives. Other than that, the only advise I can give reads like a tech-support script of things you've already tried.

Photo of the Week: Taking Over the Family Business
July 01, 2014
TechnoServe is helping a Guatemalan restaurant and food processing business usher in a new era of growth.
With its rustic decor and the smell of handmade sausages, Restaurante Katok in Tecpán, Guatemala, lives up to its name — katok means "come in" in the local indigenous language. General manager Fara Sánchez greets restaurant patrons with a warm smile that belies a busy schedule overseeing 80 employees and running two side operations — an artisan condiment business and a small-scale slaughterhouse. The 28-year-old took over managing duties last year from her father, Victor (pictured right), who ran the family business for 30 years.
"TechnoServe has helped us to transition between generations," Fara says. In 2013, Katok was one of 62 Guatemalan businesses to receive mentoring and support through TechnoServe's Impulsa Tu Empresa program. Fara learned better financial management and worked with a business advisor to improve operations and identify new regional markets for Katok's meat products and sauces. "Overall, it has been a valuable experience and has helped us to increase our sales," she says.
Learn more about how Impulsa Tu Empresa is helping small and growing businesses in four countries boost their growth.

Tn several previous papers from this laboratory the behavior of a chicken sarcoma transmitted by a filterable agent has been described.1 Emphasis has been laid on the growth's typically neoplastic character, and on the lack of phenomena suggesting the presence of an extrinsic causative agent. The importance of the subject in its possible bearing on the etiology of mammalian growths has led us to a further experimental study, here to be briefly reported.
An obvious point at which to attack the problem of the relationship between the avian growth and its cause is furnished by the process of metastasis formation. The histologic findings indicate more clearly than in the case of most tumors2 the development of secondaries of the sarcoma from transported cells. But is this the usual method of the growth's dissemination? And, if so, are not at least some of the metastases due to a localization

Posted on 05/07/2010 6:07:35 AM PDT by broken_arrow1
Yesterday, a listeners son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldnt return her call. The student took the sign down.
The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for 3 days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought youd like to know about a story closer to home.
You realize, I assume, that if a student removed or even burned the AMERICAN flag, they wouldnt do anything about it, Ill bet.
(Excerpt) Read more at ktrh.com ...
Can a FR poster please copy that photo and post it in this thread.
Klein Collins High School (832) 484.5500. Assistant Principal handling the case: Mr. Shelly Dick.
the American Legion needs to go do a flag program at that school and teach all those people proper flag etiquette
That looks like the pic taken a few years ago.
Still riles me to look at it, but it doesn't appear recent or related to this story.
Another reason to home school.
Kid should have worn a headdress like a Taliban fighter, or a Burka.
Personally I would have done the same thing.Our schools are not the United nations where they can fly any flag the want.
The American flag is in the distress position so I think this photo is from a protest against illegal immigration.
I wonder if on some special day for the south, they'd raise up the Rebel Flag? Nah, kind of doubt that...
No foreign flags should ever fly in this country, without the US flag flying above it. Or, I thought that was the protocol?
Well, all I can say is, this story, and the one yesterday, will make most Americans realize that laws against illegals need to be enforced and strengthened. Unfortunately, neither political party in the USA has any guts at all...
Stinko de mio is not even a federal holiday in Mexico so I don't get why Mexicans and Americans here make such a big deal of it besides as an excuse to drink.
And no national flag except under certain exceptions such as a visiting dignitary from another country being honored at a public government expense should fly on our flag poles. And then only with the U.S. Flag being given the place of highest honor.
This $#!+ has GOT to stop....
At least they properly showed that America is in distress.
America & Americans First bump!
Another thing that "leaves me feeling confused"...5 yr. old Trinity brought a Letter home from school...EXACT WORDING.."We will be having our annual art and essay contest again this year...the theme is What My Heritage Means To ME. One girl & one boy will be selected & reign as king & queen of the Latino Fiesta.....so...
I have to say; Stinko De Mayo is a false Holiday. So France sells Mexico to Mexico. The Mexican prez defaults on the payments to France. France comes to reposess. The Mexicans ambush Maxamillion. The French loose (nothing new here) BUT,Mexico can't make their payments and then kill the providers. Hmmm Really fine holiday you got there.
Do they have Octoberfest king and queen?
How about St. Patrick's Day king and queen? (sarc)
Thanks for the correction. I assumed that was what flew over Klein school, since it accompanied the website article. Either way, the words tell the story.
What the (bleep), this is right down the street from my house! I will try to be there this afternoon with a protest sign.
A bunch of students at a Texas school (IIRC) pulled down the American flag during the immigration protests of a few years ago.
They raised the Mexican flag and put the American flag under it.
I would give the kid a medal.
I think it is largely a regional celebration in Mexico so why its importance is so overblown in the U.S. in beyond me. Though I think beer sales have a lot to do with that.
Re: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6995047.html
(Comment: unfortunately, the photo on Michael Berry's website earlier in the week was not accurate ... he now has a correct picture posted at http://www.ktrh.com/pages/michaelberry.html )
It seems interesting that KISD is targeting one persons misinformation, Michael Berry/AM 740, as a distraction away from their actions.
Lets review the KISD errors:
- prominate display of the Mexican flag in the hallway
- display approved by KISD staff
- team of 6 staff marched the student down to the principals office (6?)
- per the students mother, there is a hint of extortion ... they are demanding the student pay a third party for the mexican flag
- KISD hung-up on / would not speak with the students mother early in the event ... and did not take parental objections into account
- the Student and his family are now receiving death and violence threats; there is a portion of blame that KISD must accept for these threats, based on how they treated the parent, how they treated the student, and based on the aggressive PR campaign they are now running
The student is an ROTC member at the school, and should be proud of his actions.
My view - the patriotism of KISD staff is in question, and they showed poor judgement and PC-like behavior. They ignored the majority of tax payers in their district, and embarrassed themselves. Effectively, they have spit on the American Flag.
There are reasons why we only fly the American flag inside and outside schools; the blood of our patriots and the blessings of God allowed this school to even exist - and for another nations flag to be openly and brazenly displayed is an affront to these American Patriots.

But they don't seem to be 100% committed - if you go to their website you can pay $18.26 for the e-book and no mention is made of it being available free at the author's own website. [Appropriately the book, "Go it Alone" by Bruce Judson is about entrepreneurial ideas]

I knew hard drive storage was cheap, but I didn't think it was that cheap. Freediskspace.com is offering 300Mb of storage for pretty much anything.

Hovering is not the problem, grasshopper, it's when you start moving those sticks that it gets interesting. I've got mine at 40% instead of 20%. Try going up slowly and see where you like it. That video talked about the pitch. There isn't any pitch, so, what was that all about?

In that video he doesn't set expo, he sets dual rate. 20% dual rate turns the mQX into a hovering piece of real estate. Try using 80% d/r and 30-40% expo (where it says "INH" in the display) for indoors, I find that to be a good compromise.
For outdoors you want to use 100% d/r and maybe 10% expo.
You're right. He did leave the expo alone.

So, the D/R setting is to the left, and the Expo setting is to the right. All of my Expo settings are INH. So I the same as 0% Expo. I was just flying it indoors again on 30% D/R (no Expo) and it is quicker to respond to the sticks, but it also is quicker to 'wander'. BTW, I like your real-estate analogy, because that's pretty much what I saw. A floating platform. My wife, who was observing from a lower floor of the house, says it looks like a flying spider.
I suppose for taking some stable video of something that would be good. Set it up with D/R, fly to the spot with a higher rate, then switch to the lower rate while 'on station'.

I'll have to try playing with the Expo instead and see how it goes. But compared to my first Lama V4 flight in the same setting, the wife's plants are breathing a sigh of relief! No quick trim this time!
FYI after flying 8 minutes on the timer, all 4 motor cans ranged from 80-84F with an IR Thermometer gun. The Lipo was also 84. The internal house temp where I flew is 69F. (Heat wave hear today in excess of 93 outside!). Coming your way, Jack!

Mine arrived today, but I can't get it to bind with my Dx8.
I put in a freshly charged battery, the mqx unit gives the flashing blue light after about 5 seconds to indicate it's in bind mode. I turn on the Dx8 while holding down the bind button, it says "Binding" and I let the button go. It will go about 10 seconds like that, then display "Transmitting" as if it made a bind, then turn on to normal control mode. However the mqx continues to flash blue. I unplugged the battery and then turn the transmitter off, waited, turned it back on, plugged the mqx back in, and it went into bind mode.
This is the 17th model to bind to the dx8 and I've not had an issue before. This is what I tried:
- Transmitter in DSM2 and DSX modes.
- I thought maybe something on that model slot was messed up so I tried to bind it to slot 18, which has never had a model assigned nor had any settings changed.
- I tried binding while standing about 7 feet away and then about 15 feet away.
- Out of sheer desperation I tried another battery that was right off the charger.
Nothing worked. I called HH but it's too late, so I'll try again tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone could spot something that I missed or know of any issues with this model and the dx8?

4 months ago I had never flown anything. I started with a few different coaxial indoor copters like the Syma S107, and a Syma Chinook. Had a good learning curve with those, then go the RTF MQX and was imediately overwhelmed. I first thought I had made a mistake buying this thing, but after reading about how loved it was in here, I figured I just need to learn to fly it, and that was it.
It took me a good week (using the stock Tx on low rate) of hovering over the pool table just skimming back and forth before I could actually get air with any control at all. Then I took it outside and with more room I could do basic hover, forward and back, and side to side, so long as it was facing away from me.
Eventually I tried some loops and rolls, and found them actually pretty easy in high rate mode.
Next I worked on turning and flying in circles ... orientation was (is) hard to get used to. I almost have it. I can do pretty well if I circle the MQX around me in the center. I still have trouble when I am outside the loop.
Anyhoo ... I just recently switched to a Dx6i and now am sorta re-learning how to fly this thing. I haven't found a comfortable level of settings that work for me yet. But it has been very crappy weather here lately so, in fairness, I haven't spent much time playing with it.

I got my MQX BNF back in March and pretty much fly it around in the backyard or garage. I bound it to my Futaba (with Spektrum DM8 module) and also to a brand new DX6i. But, honestly, I haven't had any problems with it using the Futaba, so I kind of don't need the DX6i anymore. Regardless, I haven't changed any settings (D/R or expo) on my radio and it flies fine. I've even commandeered a few Li ion 1100 mAh batteries from used cell phones and fly it using those batteries. Not as peppy as LiPos, but I get more run time =) I tried doing back loops, but that just ended in the quad yanking straight back and usually just falling to the ground. Maybe playing with the rates or expo in the radio would help? Not sure, and I'm new to flying, so maybe someone can throw in their $.02.
Needless to say, this thing is fun as hell around the house, especially when weather isn't conducive to flying the VC-450. I've trashed the hell out of the MQX, and I still haven't replaced anything. AWESOME!!

Dx6i is a game changer. Not just for mqx, but all my blade heli's also. It almost turns it into another craft. Once you fiddle enough with the dx6i and find your sweet spot, you'll never look back.

1. This fiesty little harbinger of the world's demise is Periplaneta japonica, a strain of cockroach so hearty that it can withstand the harshest of winter's chill.
The male spreads its wings, those who gaze upon its grim majesty weep and despair.
2. Periplaneta japonica is native to Asia and has never been documented in the United States. Until now.
The female prepares to reign over her forthcoming age of destruction.
3. Insect bioligists from Rutgers University have confirmed that a specimen discovered on New York City's High Line is indeed Periplaneta japonica. It is the first recorded instance of the super roach stateside. The collective losing of shit has begun.
The alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, progenitors of madness and suffering.
4. Even though the same experts who identified the anti-freeze vermin say there's very little chance they'll overtake the existing roach population, everyone in New York is basically picturing a wintry hellscape where not even our beloved pizza is safe.

9. UPDATE, Nov. 11th 11:30a.m. — The High Line has issued a statement saying they take issue with the findings of the Rutgers study, but are looking into it regardless:
We spotted species Periplaneta japonica last year and, as with all insects and other creatures that inhabit the space, have been monitoring any impact. Fortunately, we do not believe this insect is having a negative impact on the park.
The study speculated the source of the insect's arrival, but we understand it did not check other parks, natural spaces and buildings nearby – so it's truly anyone's guess! We source our plants through plant nurseries located mostly in the northeastern U.S., which go through routine USDA inspections to identify harmful pest/disease issues. No issue was raised with us.
Our team of experts will continue to keep an eye on it.

It's been a little more than a week since I started listening to this album, and after days of consuming little else in terms of music, I am still thoroughly floored. That so young a band could release a concept album of this caliber, both in terms of the lyrical concept and stories therein as well as the music itself is still mind-boggling.
This is the first album I've heard by Elitist, but it has grown on me very quickly. Elitist takes more of a Post-Hardcore/ Metalcore sound rather than Prog-Metal sound, as many fans of this band already know, but I did find minor Djent style and Prog-Metal elements to this album. In my few days of listening to this band I have heard this whole album and some of their older songs such as: Caves, Reshape Reason, and Unto the Sun and unfortunately, instrumentally, they seem to have stepped down a bit from the Djent style with this new album.
Ah, Monuments, the brainchild of John Browne, the crunchy riffs, the soaring solos.
For those that thought Periphery were just "a band for bands", that is, a band only to be obsessed over by tech enthusiasts and fret-watchers, you couldn't be more wrong. Periphery have gone from being low-profile and purely instrumental in their early days to becoming something else entirely – their latest double-sided offering 'Juggernaut: Alpha & Omega' is proof of that.
'Into The Dreamstate' is the second album from one-man solo project Encircle, released in early 2013. Back then, I was just getting acquainted with the Djent scene, knowing just a handful of bands and absorbing everything like a sponge, be it exceptional or mediocre. This record was one of the ones that really caught my ear with its exceptional sound and masterful writing. After almost two years, this still gives me goosebumps after every listen.
Anything that Thomas (Drop) Betrisey finds interesting enough to dedicate his masterful set of skills to will always earn a listen from me. I think the overall production deserves 5 stars! The audio levels are a little low, but being that I have some experience in production - this is probably because they were committed to retaining some dynamics (not overcompressing), which can result in slightly lower volumes. I LOVE the kick (reminiscent of In Flames). Guitars are THICK and layered. All kinds of subtle electronics in the background. Occasional melodic harmonies (which I love).
Overall, I'll give the album an 8/10.
We've all come to expect a certain level of brutality from TAS. With this album, however, I think we can all agree that they have outdone themselves, lyrically. The songs are dripping wet with existential nihilism, Anti-Christian views, and a general hatred for all existence.
It's the angry honesty of vocalist Vincent Bennett that has kept TAS fans coming back for more and while even I was borderline offended by some of the lyrics, I have to objectively say that this album definitely delivers in that respect.
Before I start with my review. A very informative read just as food for thought. There are 3 types of music listeners, sitters, seekers and standers:
1. Sitters do not actively seek out new music, they 'sit back' and let music come to them – usually through radio, TV and media. Their only exposure to music is through what others present to them. They have a strong preference for chart-topping music.
2.Seekers actively seek out music and are always adding to their collection. They may be into more underground and less popular genres. They may get recommendations from their friends, but often seek out music on their own.
3.Standers can be hostile towards new music. They tend to stick with their own collection of music, and don't want to add to it. They are often afficionados or fans of 'classic' genres. "Standers are big believers in a canon of music that is perfect and unchallengeable as the standard of excellence in the form." (Read this guy's full write up here)
'Vectorscan' is Amogh Symphony's third album. For many fans, it's Vishal J.Singh without his technical guitar chops, without complicated time signatures of Jim Richman and minus the extreme heaviness. There are complaints from the progressive metal fans because 'Vectorscan' is not what they were looking for, especially after 3 years of wait and patience. No. Not at all.
Amogh Symphony is back. Not just with a new Russian bandmate Andrey Sazonov, but also with Goregaon Brass Orchestra and a bunch of other new members including singers (sung by Vishal's mother Kasturi Singh with lyrics written by Vishal's Grandmother Labanya Prabha Nath), instrumentalists and engineers. It means it's not about a trio of Multi-Instrumentalists but an Orchestra. 'Vectorscan' is music made by Artists, for the listeners who are Artists. That's what the problem is in this conceptual 53 minutes 37 seconds long musical montage. It's almost impossible to believe that it's the same band, same guitarist, who gave us super technical progressive metal albums 'The Quantum Hack Code' and 'Abolishing the Obsolete System', which were way heavier than 'Vectorscan'. I've seen bad ratings popping up from fans of their old sound and it's not a disagreeable fact. One of the reasons is that people are doing wrong comparisons with 'Vectorscan'.
I've always felt that Monuments have been somewhat marginalised. Born from the ashes of Fellsilent which also gave birth to Tesseract with whom, alongside Periphery they toured in the now legendary League of Extraordinary Djentlemen tour of 2010, the band have been at the core of the Djent community from the beginning. Indeed guitarist John Browne makes up one third of the holy trinity of djentleman band leaders, the three guitarists who pioneered the sound to which this website is dedicated, graduating from online demos and experiments to full length releases and full time touring. Sadly, as Periphery was launched to stardom and Misha Mansoor was elevated to the position of guitar god by the greater metal community and while Tesseract have moved on to bigger and bigger things, culminating in this month's Sonisphere performance before an audience of thousands, Monuments have remained fairly obscure.
This was all set to change in 2012 with the release of Gnosis, the band's long awaited début full length. Beset by the bane of our community, the vocalist problem, the album took far longer to complete than fans had hoped but on release was well received. However, despite stand-out tracks like Doxa and The Uncollective, when compared to Tesseract's One and Periphery's self titled début, Gnosis felt unpolished and was clearly made by a band still trying to pin down it's sound.
Now with The Amanuensis Monuments have done it. If Gnosis was exploratory and raw, The Amanuensis is polished and confident. Better production, more fluid song-writing and a fantastic new vocalist have allowed the band to produce a record of which they should be proud.
In the present day and age, Australian heavy music never fails to impress. Or deliver. Or to blow minds. And on June 2nd, 2014, a new chapter opens. This legendary, Perth based outfit have been plying their world class trade since the late nineties, and this is their fifth album. Whilst certainly a big fan of their previous work, nothing could have prepared me for the musical wonder that is V.
