FTA: astute financial observers are aware of the corruptive behavior of Mr. Corzine, certain regulators and the US justice system. Some are calling into question the security of the entire US financial system, not just the commodity industry.
I'm not an astute financial observer, I just follow the news and can work a calculator. I question not the security of the US financial system, but its legitimacy. For the last several years, it's been operating more like organized crime.

I must say, I went to the site and read the story. It's thinly sourced at best.
The comments are so whack-a-doodle they could have come straight from a Daily Kos - Ron Paul wedding reception.

I agree, Steve, but still, we suffered the destruction of at least an apparent decade's accumulation of wealth and no one was heal accountable. Not the politicians who rigged the system. Not the bankers who gamed it. Not the speculators. Not the appraisers. Not the crooked central bankers who bailed them all out. Not one single person.

If you get the gold and silver purchase "pop ups" when you open this link, please disregard. Sec 306 of the attached will soon make them null and void.

Seems I read recently how the Muslims have a term for what she did here when she said I am criticizing (people) who support Assad because they think he resists Israel.
That's not exactly a lie because the original statement was ambiguous enough that it can technically be interpreted in different ways. But you know damn well what she really means. Can't remember the term or where I read it but it's not taquiya. It seems they have made a whole science out of lying.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
