Does anyone else see the attachment? I get a "Error Converting the Document"
OT - I heard an ad on the radio here in New Orleans this morning offering loans against your auto title. Bring in your title and receive up to $1000 cash loan.
So now when you get in trouble paying your bills, you can hock your car (which btw gets your ass to work so you can pay your bills in the first place)? Unreal.

Kudos to him for bringing it out now.
But isn't he complicit, having stood by for 20 years knowingly allowing Levine to screw over plaintiffs?

the world has not changed.
this is how the world works.
only our perception of it has changed.
think hard before asking it to be knocked over.
there might not be anything under it.

He can ONLY act on the evidence presented. He cannot act outside of the law himself. So, while he might understand that what has happened is illegal, until it can be PROVED, he can do nothing. I believe that this is precisely why he is retiring.

I'm just wondering why anybody would be surprised about ANYTHING anymore? You've been saying there's no law for three years and then shocked everyday when there is none. I feel like the smiley face banging my head on the wall endlessly! (Sorry I don't have any to those cute critters to cut and paste).

Well Captainkidd, what do you suggest, that he brings his complaint to this guy?  Quote:Gary Gensler is the chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission under President Barack Obama.
Gary Gensler spent 18 years at Goldman Sachs, making partner when he was 30, becoming head of the company’s fixed income and currency trading operations in Tokyo by the mid-’90s, and eventually the company’s co-head of finance.

Everyone is bought off. Standing up for what's right just gets you looked at like you have 3 heads. It's beyond real how there is 0 accountability and people just do'nt give a **** about how they are screwing others.

Yes it was. Therein lies the rub, had you seen it then and been as enraged as today think of what all you missed out on. Think about all the memories you had over the past few decades thinking everything was fine being "the sheep". The reference above about the blue pill and the matrix is very accurate here. Most people do not want to see this and will refuse to see it even when it is in their face because they dont want to acknowledge they have lived their lives as a lie. That the future they hope for is a dream. Denial is a huge part of the first stages of mourning, and if you were to accept something this big; it would certainly fall under mourning. There is no way to fix it because it is not *broken*, this is how it works. The only thing broken is that we are talking about it. |

127001 - you are right. The internet just allows more people to see the way it truely is. It is happening everywhere in the world.

I once brought a pro se action to court. Proved my case. It was thrown out on a technicality.
The fix is in--nearly always--though I have known people who've succeeded at getting attorneys disbarred, acting pro se. Must've found an honest judge. I don't think there are many left.

Karl, why should we follow the laws anymore? Why? I guess I can go out and do what ever the hell I want, steal whatever I want, hurt whoever I want.
