A critical piece of the vulture capital scam now is basically prohibited. It will be hard to use leasebacks to strip mine assets while pretending everything is rosy at the debt zombie company. Presumably the goobers from Goldman will probably go 360 head spinning Paulson style once the shit hits the fan and cause this rule to get rolled back.
Maybe. Aside from contact info, I'm not sure what they have that Dunn & Bradstreet don't. In any case, the Snowden leaks are already proof enough -- they are wiretapping and surveilling anyone of consequence. Cryptogon, as usual, has the best speculation on the matter.
Not content to merely let every branch of the military do it, I see. Not surprising, as Obomber's "curtailment" was mostly window dressing for PR's sake.
Apparently measuring time with more precision causes small gravity wells where it is being more precisely measured. In this way, relative time slows and mass increases. If this relationship is proven to be true, it suggests that gravity (and entropy!) may actually be how we are observing fourth dimensional effects in the third dimension. This actually makes a lot of sense.
Hah. No matter how much the goobers at the FED wanted NIRP 4eva, the market found a way to let reality start to seep back in. Sounds like the genie is finally starting to irrevocably come out of the bottle.
Pretty sweet deal for Erdogan overall. Get $3bn from the EU for doing next to nothing, then claim EU did nothing to back out of the deal. He clearly understands the EU have no power to resist that sort of bad faith dealing. Good to see that the "Clash of Civilizations" plan seems to be going along well (not).
From the "That's the whole point, dummy" department. This sort of thing has always happened, and makes sense in the historical context (the first "parks" were made as a way to ensure nobody could live next to "robber" barons back in the gilded age).
