Jesse's Café Américain: Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - A War On Silver and Gold: ""I believe the origins of the manipulation can be traced to collusive and concentrated short selling for profit by large financial institutions, starting with Drexel Burnham, then on to AIG Trading, Bear Stearns and finally to JPMorgan.

Capitalism Without Failure: Capitalism ?
Capitalism Without Failure: Capitalism: ""You cannot have capitalism without failure."
Jim Rogers was referring to the lunacy of using public money to preserve failed private enterprise in a “capitalist” economy. That is what we did, after all. We saved failed institutions, failed individuals, and failed thinking. That is wrong on many levels. But we went a step further: we saved dishonesty, criminality, and corruption. That is a far more serious proposition.
Bill Black is arguably the most important voice when it comes to the criminality that was preserved. If you are not well-versed in the criminal aspects of the crisis and in Gresham's Dynamics, the following is an important video to watch (note: the quality of the video work is poor but the substance is superb - filmed 2/18/2010):

Sheila Bair on Bill Moyers: “Libor Always Troubled Me” « naked capitalism
Sheila Bair on Bill Moyers: “Libor Always Troubled Me” « naked capitalism: "Sheila Bair on Bill Moyers: “Libor Always Troubled Me”
Bill Moyers starts with the Libor scandal as a way to get Sheila Bair’s perspective on the failure to get meaningful bank reforms. It’s refreshing to see how direct she is in saying the fixes aren’t hard, the problem is lack of will. She also discusses the death of moderate Republicans, and “free for all markets”"

Journatic CEO Accepts Blame for Bogus Bylines | Street Fight: "Journatic CEO Accepts Blame for Bogus Bylines
5 Comments 02 JULY 2012 BY TOM GRUBISICH
The popular “This American Life” public radio program turned its eye on hyperlocal news service Journatic this weekend, revealing in its latest episode that sister company BlockShopper had slapped fake bylines onto some of the real estate site’s lawsuit-prone stories.
“This was a mistake,” Journatic CEO Brian Timpone told Street Fight yesterday. “We should never have run an alias byline and sent the article to our partners. It was my fault.” He insisted, though, that the stories below the make-believe bylines were “100% factual.”"

comments by Norton: Another example of what is presenting as authentic local news which is NOT. When I went to school, we studied what is called "primary and secondary sources of news". Now this is a new twist on secondary or perhaps news with no authenticity. So watch out for what is masquerading as credible, verifiable news sources.
