Psychopaths develop technology to detect angry normals

A cabal of psychopaths that rules the former USA has developed a new tool to detect and neutralize non-psychopaths who threaten their power. That, at least, is the implication of a recently-uncovered Department of Homeland Security document revealing the existence of Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) - a "pre-crime" detection unit not unlike the one dystopian novelist Philip K. Dick dreamed up for "Minority Report," which inspired the Tom Cruise film. And by way of homage to another great dystopian writer, George Orwell, FAST will red-flag individuals harboring what the ruling psychopaths call "malintent."

As DailyTech.com reports:

This new "pre-crime" detection facility was discovered via a June 2010 DHS document that was acquired by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). The document states that information is currently collected and retained on "members of the public" as part of the pre-crime system, which is called Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST).

FAST is made up of algorithms that use factors including gender, age, ethnicity, heart rate, body movements, occupation, voice pitch changes, body heat fluctuations and breathing patterns to identify clues as to whether the individual(s) will commit a crime in the future.

The idea behind FAST is to prevent crimes from happening before individuals even have a chance to commit them based on the factors listed above. It is able to do this through the use of sensors that collect audio recordings, video images and psychophysiological measurements.

"The department's Science and Technology Directorate has conducted preliminary research in operational settings to determine the feasibility of using non-invasive physiological and behavioral sensor technology and observational techniques to detect signs of stress, which are often associated with intent to do harm," said Peter Boogaard, the deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security.

The problem is that this kind of emotion-detection technology does not work against psychopaths - especially those psychopaths or near-psychopaths who have been trained to beat it by professional criminal organizations and intelligence agencies. Psychopaths compose that 1%-2% of the population that lacks normal emotional inhibitory barriers to grossly immoral and/or antisocial conduct. As Harrison Koehli said on my radio show, "If you were locked in a room in a burning building with an axe at hand, you would chop through the door to get away. A psychopath would chop through a human being just as easily as you would chop through that door."

USA: Clueless Former KC Fed Chairman Herman Cain Calls Occupy Wall Street Protesters Anti-American

Herman Cain is at it again, spreading misinformation and lies, after blaming protesters just last week, saying it is their fault if they are unemployed.

Cain is repeatedly mistaken in this clip from yesterday's Face The Nation. He has no idea how these protests got started, so he just assumes it was 'the unions' even though there wasn't a union representative to be found for the first 15 days. If you've been following the protests since months before they began, as we have, you know it was ANONYMOUS, and their anger at the Federal Reserve and stealth Wall Street bailouts that laid the groundwork for the rebellion.

USA: Panic of the Plutocrats

It remains to be seen whether the Occupy Wall Street protests will change America’s direction. Yet the protests have already elicited a remarkably hysterical reaction from Wall Street, the super-rich in general, and politicians and pundits who reliably serve the interests of the wealthiest hundredth of a percent.

And this reaction tells you something important — namely, that the extremists threatening American values are what F.D.R. called “economic royalists,” not the people camping in Zuccotti Park.

Consider first how Republican politicians have portrayed the modest-sized if growing demonstrations, which have involved some confrontations with the police — confrontations that seem to have involved a lot of police overreaction — but nothing one could call a riot. And there has in fact been nothing so far to match the behavior of Tea Party crowds in the summer of 2009.

Nonetheless, Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, has denounced “mobs” and “the pitting of Americans against Americans.” The G.O.P. presidential candidates have weighed in, with Mitt Romney accusing the protesters of waging “class warfare,” while Herman Cain calls them “anti-American.” My favorite, however, is Senator Rand Paul, who for some reason worries that the protesters will start seizing iPads, because they believe rich people don’t deserve to have them.

Blackwater: This Time Its Your House

Blackwater is on its way to your home - don't worry they aren't going to be confiscating weapons, shooting your family or raping your sister - this time its just a game. Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater has decided that his private mercenary army can be fun for the whole family, and has turned Blackwater into a video game.

Some see this as just a fun little kill 'em up - first person shooter game, but a more sinister plan is being unrolled.

At one time not so long ago here in America, Blackwater was synonymous with lawlessness and destruction. In the video game, Blackwater is working with the UN, " just trying to protect people", an attempt to portray themselves as the good guys they never were in real life. In Iraq they were accused of horrific crimes against innocent men, women and children. In New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina the Department of Homeland Security contracted the paramilitary force, made up of foreign nationals, to patrol American soil! Blackwater troops were actually "deputized" by the Louisiana governor and authorized to make arrests and use lethal force against American citizens, the same citizens paying them $240,000 a day.

In this Eric Prince fairytale it is fitting that the UN and Blackwater are working together. It is also frightening, because if there were something that might trigger social upheaval, (just as the globalists are provoking right now) causing a martial law type situation, it would most likely be the UN and some private army like Blackwater patrolling our streets. This little video game will make it easier for such a scenario to unravel.

Its amazing that this is a viable product, so little time has passed since everyone knew that Blackwater was bad news, could we be this far off? Prince seems to think so, and he is attempting to capitalize on our inability to stay focused by moving forward with his attack on young American minds that without guidance are unfortunately ripe for a good brain washing.

Cairo: Army and police massacre protesters at Maspero

The army and police committed a horrible massacre against peaceful protesters today in Maspero, Cairo. Army vehicles ran over protesters. Live ammunition was used. Extensive rounds of tear gas were fired, and showers of beatings from the military police and the central security forces. At least 19 people have been killed, and more than 150 injured. The toll keeps increasing.

The Army also stormed Al-Hurra TV station and 25 January TV stations, and took them off air. The Egyptian state run TV is inciting the public against the "Coptic protesters" and even called on the citizens to take to the streets to "protect the army"!!

UK: Protesters Bring London to Standstill

Hundreds of British activists have occupied Westminster Bridge in London in a last-ditch effort to stop ratification of the National Health Service (NHS) reform bill at the House of Lords.

Protesters closed the bridge on Sunday in a symbolic act that disconnected parliament from St Thomas' Hospital, on the other side of the Thames, creating severe disruption in central London, British media reported.

During the protest, crowds chanted "we are the 99%" -- a slogan associated with the Wall Street protests in New York, and activists unveiled a huge banner reading, "Save our NHS."

"By blocking Westminster Bridge we symbolically block the bill from getting from parliament to our hospitals," organisers said.

"Yes, it will be disruptive. Yes, it will stop the traffic. But this is an emergency and we have to shout as loud as we can," they added.

Trade unionists, pensioners, health workers and comedians, including TV personality Mark Thomas, also attended the protest gathering.

"Peaceful protest and civil disobedience have a long and proud history in this country, and are a perfectly legitimate response to plans that no-one voted for and no-one wants," said Mark Serwotka, General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS).

The health and social care bill will be discussed at the Lords this week.

Earlier in September, trade unions announced that millions of public sector workers would walk out their jobs on November 30th in their battle with the government over pensions.

Israeli extremism takes more victims

Israeli settlers shout abuses from behind a fence at 

Palestinian farmers (foreground) in a village in the occupied 

West Bank on October 9, 2011.

Israeli extremists attack Palestinian farmers again, injuring three of them and spoiling their olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.

On Sunday, dozens of armed Israeli settlers attacked some 50 farmers as they were trying to harvest their olive produce in the city of Nablus in northwestern West Bank, AFP reported. The Palestinian farmers fought back, but were later outnumbered with more and more Jewish settlers coming to reinforce the attackers.

An Israeli Army spokeswoman confirmed that one Palestinian had been injured in clashes with settlers. Downplaying the nature of the attack, however, she said, "It's the start of the olive picking season so there were clashes."

Since the beginning of September, at least 3,000 olive trees and grape vines owned by Palestinians have been cut or burned by Israeli extremists, according to the latest statistics released by the Palestinian Authority. Olive oil is regarded as the backbone of the Palestinian economy, being the second major export item in the Israel-occupied territories.

"Just as my father said, olives trees are like our children and growing olive trees is like raising children," said Souhail Khalaf, a local farmer of a small Palestinian village in Nablus. Human rights groups and local Palestinians have said at least 69 complaints had been filed over the past four years about the damage done by Israeli extremists to the Palestinian-owned trees.

A high-ranking Israeli intelligence officer recently admitted that there had been a dramatic increase in the acts of violence and destruction committed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Tel Aviv occupied and then annexed the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem) -- the promised capital of any future Palestinian state -- in the Six-Day War of 1967, but the move has never been recognized by the international community.

USA: FBI Director Vows More Use of ‘Lone Wolf’ Provision of Patriot Act

Testifying yesterday in Congress, FBI Director Robert Mueller and National Counterterrorism Center director Matthew Olsen both agreed that the seldom used “lone wolf” provision of the USA PATRIOT Act, a provision which allows broad intelligence gathering of people with no actual terrorism ties, would become much more widely used in the months and years to come.

Indeed, while Mueller claimed the FBI had never once used the “lone wolf” provision, but that US citizens with no actually ties to terror groups pose a “serious national security threat” and would need to be targeted more.

Olsen concurred with this sentiment, adding that such people are “probably the greatest challenge that we face.” The two also agreed that Congress needs to give them even more broad surveillance powers, citing the popularity of Android-based smartphones.

The FBI’s surveillance of Americans remains a serious issue, though the widespread classification of government records means the true extent of the policy may never be known. Thus while Mueller assures that no one has ever been targeted as a “lone wolf,” they continue to target American citizens for lawful activities.

Libya rebels: Human Trafficing mafia in Benghazi

From the outset the NATO propaganda was selling Libyan rebels as knightly freedom fighters, and it transpires at the moment to what extent the picture is at odds with reality. 

The situation evokes similarities with Kosovo, where “freedom fighters” from the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army, lauded by then-US SecretaryofState M. Albright, mercilessly butchered defenseless people and even set up a networkoftrafficking forcibly extracted human organs. (trafficking in human organs in Kosovo organized by KLA leader and Kosovo Prime minister Hashim Thaçi.)

These days, Libyan rebels are treated as heroes by N. Sarkozy and NATO top brass, and there are no signs that the hypocrisy and bias will ever wane.

So how did this most evil business find new life inBenghazi? You can thank NATO for this. While NATO bombs blanketLibyawith radioactive depleted uranium dust,partofthe “pro-democracy forces” based inBenghazibeing protected by NATO are busy sending Africans to a watery grave while stuffing their pockets with African blood money.

Techno-Occult Mad Scientists

Professor Kevin Warwick talking about humans as a sub-species? Shit, what does that make him then??

Obama’s Politics of Deception

The seeds for President Obama’s demagogic press conference on Thursday were planted last summer when he assigned his right-wing Committee of 13 the role of resolving the obvious and inevitable Congressional budget standoff by forging an anti-labor policy that cuts Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and uses the savings to bail out banks from even more loans that will go bad as a result of the IMF-style austerity program that Democrats and Republicans alike have agreed to back.

The problem facing Mr. Obama is obvious enough: How can he hold the support of moderates and independents (or as Fox News calls them, socialists and anti-capitalists), students and labor, minorities and others who campaigned so heavily for him in 2008? He has double-crossed them – smoothly, with a gentle smile and patronizing patter talk, but with an iron determination to hand federal monetary and tax policy over to his largest campaign contributors: Wall Street and assorted special interests – the Democratic Party’s Rubinomics and Clintonomics core operators, plus smooth Bush Administration holdovers such as Tim Geithner, not to mention quasi-Cheney factotums in the Justice Department.

President Obama’s solution has been to do what any political demagogue does: Come out with loud populist campaign speeches that have no chance of becoming the law of the land, while quietly giving his campaign contributors what they’ve paid him for: giveaways to Wall Street, tax cuts for the wealthy (euphemized as tax “exemptions” and mark-to-model accounting, plus an agreement to count their income as “capital gains” taxed at a much lower rate).

So here’s the deal the Democratic leadership has made with the Republicans. The Republicans will run someone from their present gamut of guaranteed losers, enabling Mr. Obama to run as the “voice of reason,” as if this somehow is Middle America. This will throw the 2012 election his way for a second term if he adopts their program – a set of rules paid for by the leading campaign contributors to both parties.

President Obama’s policies have not been the voice of reason. They are even further to the right than George W. Bush could have achieved. At least a Republican president would have confronted a Democratic Congress blocking the kind of program that Mr. Obama has rammed through. But the Democrats seem stymied when it comes to standing up to a president who ran as a Democrat rather than the Tea Partier he seems to be so close to in his ideology.

UK: Thousands plan protest camp in London's financial centre

Protesters inspired by the growing 'Occupy Wall Street' movement in the U.S are planning to establish a tent city in London's financial district next weekend

A Facebook page titled 'Occupy London's Stock Exchange' has already amassed over 3,000 people who have agreed to attend the event on October 15 while 'Occupy London' on Twitter has over 1,000 followers. The group, who were behind a protest that saw Westminster Bridge closed today posted on the social networking site that they are 'part of a global popular movement'.

One post under the name 'Occupy The London Stock Exchange' said: 'Hundreds attended the General Assembly and we are growing stronger every day! We remained unified and respected each others opinions. We are part of a global popular movement and not supportive to one ideology or faction, we are the 99%. Only the General assemblies and occupations themselves truly speak for the movement.'

'Please attend the General Assemblies, become involved in the Occupations have your say and combine your voice with millions - this is a global issue and must be fought in unity!' According to the website occupations are also being planned in other areas of the country, including Worcester, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Bristol.

UK: 'Green' air fares levy is just a tax grab

A controversial ‘green’ levy that adds hundreds of pounds to family holidays is a simple tax grab on hard-pressed households, the Chancellor has admitted.



Air Passenger Duty has been dressed up as an environmental measure designed to discourage air travel. But in a leaked letter, George Osborne says: ‘APD is fundamentally a revenue raising duty and currently raises around £2.5billion per year.’ 

Last night one senior aviation figure said: ‘The cat is out of the bag with this admission. It’s a tax grab, pure and simple.’ Mr Osborne is expected to announce a rise in APD for 2012 in next month’s autumn statement. At present, a family of four flying economy to Florida pay a total of £240 tax.

APD was introduced by the Tories in 1994 as a straightforward way to raise money but was swiftly rebranded as a ‘green signals’ tax by Labour. The idea was to discourage plane use, but it is loathed by many who have seen it vastly inflate air fares.

Mr Osborne’s admission that the tax, divided into four bands according to the length of flights, is nothing more than a way of raising cash comes in a letter dated August 12 to Olivier Jankovec, director general of the Brussels-based Airports Council International.

UK: The great parking rip-off

Expense: A resident's permit in Barnet, pictured, costs £100 per year

Residents are being hit by 400 per cent rises in parking charges - just to leave their cars outside their own front doors, it emerged last night. The staggering increase means some motorists are coughing up more than £100 to park on their own street. Councils are also raising millions by ramping up pay and display charges, and the price of visitor permits, above the rate of inflation, a survey revealed.


In a further sting, the hours during which drivers must pay are being extended in some areas – to include evenings, Sundays and bank holidays. More than half of local authorities have raised charges in the last year, by an average of nearly 50 per cent.

The revelations prompted fury that motorists - who are already facing huge hikes in fuel and insurance costs - are also being milked by councils. Edmund King, president of the AA, said: ‘Some local authorities are targeting drivers in an unfair manner because it disproportionately hits some people who live in a particular areas and have no choice - especially those who cannot afford a garage or driveway.

‘Raising parking charges is another attack on the motorist, who is already suffering record fuel and insurance prices - but they are an easy target.’

A survey by the Sunday Times found 57 of 96 councils surveyed had increased their charges or extended charging hours. Of the 46 which set out their higher charges, the average increase was 44 per cent.

In Barnet, North London, the cost of a visitor’s permit has risen by 300 per cent to £4 per car per day, and resident’s permits by 150 per cent from £40 to £100 per car. In Woking, Surrey, a resident’s permit now costs £50 a year, up from £10 - a 400 per cent increase. Next year Middlesbrough council will start charging residents to park on their own street for the first time, with each permit costing £20.

Occupation movement does not represent the 99%

Technology Changes the Game

The Money junkies thought the internet would be a system they can use on us to keep track of us. Now this very big world wide network is now a weapon being used against them. Thank to people having potable video devices and the internet. It is changing the dynamics of the information war. Were leftist and hired thugs were able to get away with taking over movements because the controlled media would control the information does not work anymore. It is getting harder for them to pull off highjacking the Occupy Wall Street thanks to technology of the 21st century changing the national landscape.


I am very optimistic that the foundation paid protesters and leftist thugs will not be able to do what they do as they did in the past and get away with it. In NAZI Germany and in Soviet Russia, the thugs got away with it because the flow of information and the controlled media. In the past, the state run media would demonize the opposition using these agent provocateurs to make the people opposing the regime look bad. The old playbook they used to take over and create movements is not working anymore. The mainstream corporate media does not influence the thoughts of Americans today as they once did 20 years ago. People are seeking news and information from the alternative sources of media. Technology is breaking the propaganda machine.

We the bloggers and independent freelance journalism are changing the dynamics of reporting the news with technology of the internet and portable video cameras. Police cannot get away with unconstitutional acts like they did before with the blessing of the press. Most of all people are getting in the face of the elites and ruling class forcing them to answer the tough questions on small camcorders. We will change this nation while the mainstream media that had a monopoly once on information is left behind. Occupy Wall Street is our movement and with the help of the alternative media using the internet and technology. These leftist useful fools will not have a hell of a chance anymore now the tables are turned thanks to technology and the internet.#

'Bridenapping' – a growing hidden crime

In at least 17 countries around the world, girls are being abducted, raped and forced into marriage. Emily Dugan investigates

Last year, Asana, a 14-year-old from Somalia, popped out to get some meat and milk for her mother. As she walked in a Mogadishu market, a car with blacked-out windows pulled up, a door was flung open and she was dragged inside. A man she had never seen before said to the driver: "This is my wife; we just got engaged." The man was Mohamed Dahir, a leader of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab. Her money was taken, she was locked away and forced to become Dahir's wife.

Asana's story is echoed across the globe in a phenomenon that is still little reported or understood. Bride kidnapping, or "bridenapping", happens in at least 17 countries around the world, from China to Mexico to Russia to southern Africa. In each of these lands, there are communities where it is routine for young women and girls to be plucked from their families, raped and forced into marriage. Few continents are not blighted by the practice, yet there is little awareness of these crimes, and few police investigations. The lack of reporting means there are no global statistics, but inquiries over many weeks by The Independent on Sunday have found anecdotal evidence that bridenapping is increasing. Something that belongs more to the Middle Ages is growing in the 21st century.

The lack of awareness, and therefore of any worldwide campaign on the issue, leaves little hope for women such as Asana (her name has been changed to protect her from Al-Shabaab, who still send her death threats). Now 15, and bringing up Dahir's baby son, she considers herself one of the luckier ones. She managed to escape to Kenya after Dahir was killed in a shoot-out. Her story, however, would not be considered "lucky" by many.

Germany: Gov't software can spy on citizens

A well-regarded Germany-based hacker group claims a German government-created Trojan horse program is capable of secretly spying on Web users without their consent. The group says on its website that it obtained and analyzed a piece of software that is supposed to be a "lawful interception" program designed to listen in on Internet-based phone calls as part of a legal wiretap, but its capabilities go far beyond legal bounds.

The program is capable of logging keystrokes, activating Webcams, monitoring Web users' activities and sending mountains of data to government officials, the club said. To cover its tracks, the data is routed through rented servers located in the United States, the club alleges.

"To avoid revealing the location of the command and control server, all data is redirected through a rented dedicated server in a data center in the USA," the Club said on its website.

The German government has yet to comment on the findings, but already, antivirus companies are reacting to them. Security firm F-Secure will detect and disable the alleged government monitoring software if found on clients' computers, it announced on Saturday.

"Yes, it is possible the Trojan found by CCC is written by the German government. We just can't confirm that,” said Mikko Hypponen, F-Secure’s chief technology officer, via Twitter.

The program, labeled a "backdoor" because it can open a computer to surreptitious access, targets certain applications for keylogging, including Firefox, Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ and others, according to F-Secure.

The Top 100 Statistics About The Collapse Of The Economy That Every American Voter Should Know

The U.S. economy is dying and most American voters have no idea why it is happening. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and most of our politicians are not telling the truth about the collapse of the economy. This generation was handed the keys to the greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen, and we have completely wrecked it. Decades of incredibly foolish decisions have left us drowning in an ocean of corruption, greed and bad debt. Thousands of businesses and millions of jobs have left the country and poverty is exploding from coast to coast. We are literally becoming a joke to the rest of the world. It is absolutely imperative that we educate America about what is happening. Until the American people truly understand the problems that we are facing, they will not be willing to implement the solutions that are necessary.

USA: The invisible surveillance state

Since its inception in response to the September 11thattacks, the behemoth bureaucracy known as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has grown into an organization that is nothing short of nightmarish.

The DHS boasts 216,000 employees (as of 2010), a $98.8 billion budget in the 2011 fiscal year, and child agencies that include: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), United States Coast Guard (USCG), United States Secret Service (USSS), and the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD).

The DHS has been behind countless highly controversial policies and incidents including (but definitely not limited to):

1. Fusion Centers which spy on American citizens without probable cause.

2. The infamous “MIAC report”, actually entitled “The Modern Militia Movement”, released by the Missouri Information Analysis Center which labeled supporters of candidates like Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr as possibly dangerous militia members.


Others who were targeted in the report included individuals associated with the Constitution Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarianism; people in possession of the film America: Freedom to Fascism (which you can watch for free here on End the Lie); people in possession of the Gadsden Flag, also known as the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag; anti-abortion activists; and so-called conspiracy theorists.

3. The 2009 Virginia terrorism threat assessment published by the Virginia Fusion Center which focused on historically black colleges as potential hubs for terror-related activity and also labeled hacktivism a form of terrorism.

4. The TSA’s grope-down procedure which has been used toharass people with the mental capacity of a 2-year-old, along with 95-year-old women with terminal cancer and young children, all without any probable cause whatsoever.

5. Absurdly costly, ineffective and dangerous naked body scanners.

6. Secretly using portable naked body scanners against Americans.

7. Nazi Germany-style roadside checkpoints, again in direct violation of the 4th Amendment to theConstitution.

8. Disinformation campaigns including the non-existent threat of terrorists carrying surgically implanted bombs.

9. “Customs and Border Protection does undertake [opening mail] when it is determined to be necessary”, including personal correspondence, without probable cause or any reason at all. In other words, you are a prisoner of America. And just like in a prison, your mail coming from outside the prison is subject to search whenever it is deemed necessary.

And so many more that I would be forced to devote the entire article to it if I hoped to get even remotely close to covering them all. However, all of these pale in comparison to what the Department of Homeland Security and child agencies have in store. This grim future is one in which you are guilty until proven innocent and discriminated against for facial expressions.

You could even be tracked and monitored by drones in the sky which can create “threat assessments” with the data gathered, which can then be used to further make you guilty until proven innocent. No, this is not the movie Minority Report. Unfortunately, this is fact, not fiction.

This is the Department of Homeland Security’s Future Attribute Screening Technology, or FAST. This program collects and stores “physiological and behavioral signals” for analysis, which are then used to determine if an individual could possibly commit a crime in the future or if they harbor malicious intent.

Like the rest of the DHS programs, this requires no probable cause, let alone suspicion of criminal activity.

USA: 11 Facts You Need To Know About The Nation’s Biggest Banks

The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City more than three weeks ago have now spread across the country. The choice of Wall Street as the focal point for the protests — as even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said — makes sense due to the big bank malfeasance that led to the Great Recession.

While the Dodd-Frank financial reform law did a lot to ensure that a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis won’t occur — through regulation of derivatives, a new consumer protection agency, and new powers for the government to dismantle failing banks — the biggest banks still have a firm grip on the financial system, even more so than before the 2008 financial crisis. Here are eleven facts that you need to know about the nation’s biggest banks:

– Bank profits are highest since before the recession…: According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., bank profits in the first quarter of this year were “the best for the industry since the $36.8 billion earned in the second quarter of 2007.” JP Morgan Chase is currently pulling in record profits.

– …even as the banks plan thousands of layoffs: Banks, including Bank of America, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse, are planning to lay off tens of thousands of workers.

– Banks make nearly one-third of total corporate profits: The financial sector accounts for about 30 percent of total corporate profits, which is actually downfrom before the financial crisis, when they made closer to 40 percent.

– Since 2008, the biggest banks have gotten bigger: Due to the failure of small competitors and mergers facilitated during the 2008 crisis, the nation’s biggest banks — including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo — are now bigger than they were pre-recession. Pre-crisis, the four biggest banks held 32 percent of total deposits; now they hold nearly 40 percent.

– The four biggest banks issue 50 percent of mortgages and 66 percent of credit cards: Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup issue one out of every two mortgages and nearly two out of every three credit cards in America.

– The 10 biggest banks hold 60 percent of bank assets: In the 1980s, the 10 biggest banks controlled 22 percent of total bank assets. Today, they control 60 percent.

– The six biggest banks hold assets equal to 63 percent of the country’s GDP: In 1995, the six biggest banks in the country held assets equal to about 17 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Now their assets equal 63 percent of GDP.

– The five biggest banks hold 95 percent of derivatives: Nearly the entire market in derivatives — the credit instruments that helped blow up some of the nation’s biggest banks as well as mega-insurer AIG — is dominated by just five firms: JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citibank, and Wells Fargo.

– Banks cost households nearly $20 trillion in wealth: Almost $20 trillion in wealth was destroyed by the Great Recession, and total family wealth is still down “$12.8 trillion (in 2011 dollars) from June 2007 — its last peak.”

– Big banks don’t lend to small businesses: The New Rules Project notes that the country’s 20 biggest banks “devote only 18 percent of their commercial loan portfolios to small business.”

– Big banks paid 5,000 bonuses of at least $1 million in 2008: According to the New York Attorney General’s office, “nine of the financial firms that were among the largest recipients of federal bailout money paid about 5,000 of their traders and bankers bonuses of more than $1 million apiece for 2008.”

In the last few decades, regulations on the biggest banks have been systematically eliminated, while those banks engineered more and more ways to both rip off customers and turn ever-more complex trading instruments into ever-higher profits. It makes perfect sense, then, that a movement calling for an economy that works for everyone would center its efforts on an industry that exemplifies the opposite.

The Future of America’s Great Traditions - Incog Man

ONE NIGHT A few weeks ago, my cell phone loudly jangled the quaint retro ringtone I so liked, rousing me with a start. Worried something bad happened to a family member, or I might be needed back on the front lines, I hurriedly reached over to the nightstand and snatched it up.

Thankfully, it was only my Aussie friend and favorite Jiggerman guide, Leif Billithong, calling from another time zone. He clearly could care less about my beauty sleep. “INCOG” he yelled, “you gotta get out here, mate, the Ghetto Jigging is fantastic. Just had a client land a whopper Street Ho on a EBT card streamer fly. It was his fourth of the trip!”

Still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I pretend angry asked: “Leif, where the hell you at?” He replied “INCOG, you won’t believe it, but Oakland, California.”

Oakland? They finally opened jigging in northern California? I guess it was really true that the rest of the state had finally gone belly up and was searching for any means of survival. It made perfect sense, open the area to jiggerman, make moolah on expensive out-of-state licenses and tourist industry taxes, right along with driving down special benefits doled out to worthless hunks of protoplasm.

[IF YOU'RE THE SENSITIVE, NON-SPORTSMAN, WHITE MULTICULT TYPE, PLEASE DON'T READ ANY MORE. I would not wish to be responsible for you having a coronary, or going off the deep end and destroying your monitor while trying to get at me for being “the most hateful man on the Internet.” Thanks.  ]

The streets of Oakland made jiggerman salivate the world over.

Here was a real glory hole, full of huge lunkers lazing about in big pods, swilling down luke warm Colt 45′s and gnawing noisily on greasy chicken bones. Nasty fat Hos stood around street corners, idly scratching exposed, fleshy limbs while waiting for the rare customer. Sullen, scrawny Gangstas filled unkempt, barren front yards — sometimes screwing, sometimes screaming, sometimes stabbing – all jive-shucking around in a drug-induced daze to incomprehensible hip-hop blaring loudly out of stolen boom boxes.

And the whole area had never once been jigged – it all sounded just wonderful!

Southern California and LA had opened up Ghetto jigging for the last five years or so, and the place was now a hellava lot better off, with serious money in the city coffers, too. Ghetto sportsman and even decent White families were moving back. But untouched Oakland was still off limits until now. Of course I had to go.

Plus, I just bought a high modulus, boron fiber SAGE rod, strong enough to tame the most coked-up jig running wild down the street. I matched it with a gold Tibor Gulfstream large arbor reel, filled with that hot new Scientific Angler’s bullet taper fly line in urban camo and backed up with 300 yards of braided nylon.

It was the perfect set-up for working sidewalk drys along burnt-out storefronts and skittering streamers down stinky, trash-filled street gutters.

Add to that, I just finished tying dozens of tried and true fly patterns: Twenties, Lotto Ticket drys and Big Ho Mama nymphs. Let’s not forget that new killer streamer of my very own design: The Greezy Weezy. All “must haves” for any serious Ghetto Fly Jiggerman (yes indeed, I’m plugging mine).

I immediately booked a first class ticket aboard my favorite airline — AryanNations West. I always loved how the smartly dressed, sexy White female stewardesses treated you like a king. Absolutely no self-absorbed, limp-wristed male faggots were ever allowed to serve, thankfully. And all the pilots were top-notch White guys — you always felt safe with them at the wheel.

The airport was clean, calm and nice. Sure, they had worker jigs in bright orange jumpsuits doing things like sweeping and emptying out the trash receptacles. All well-behaved and quite docile, since each wore radio-controlled microchip neck collars – you know, the kind where White managers could remotely activate pre-programmed work routines, downloaded into the primitive cerebellums via the now famous Dr. Mengele Corporation bio interface system.

Should a worker jig ever get out of line, the managers could simply press a special red button, setting off a small RDX charge that drove a round steel bolt straight into the spinal column, dropping them like a sack of garbage on the spot. There was very little blood and what simian brains they had, could later be salvaged for use in anything from high-tech guided missiles to automated agricultural machinery.
