Lots of Banker Suicides – or Bankers Suicided – Lately

There has been a rash of articles coming out of the alternative Web press in the last 2-3 weeks about the untimely deaths of bankers, financiers, financial journalists and Wall Street types that smell, in most cases, very fishy, and the number and frequency of these deaths, whatever their cause, whether by suicide (the usual explanation offered by authorities) or murder seems rather high. This article below gives details on what seems to be a number of the individuals who died, though there are more not mentioned:

Stephen E. Arnold: Cash-Fueled Arrogance Displaced Innovation in IT Sector — No One Paying for the Plumbing [Facebook is Arrogant, Lazy, & Stupid]

Innovation: Bring Cash

Last week, two of the senior ArnoldIT professionals delivered a one hour lecture to a select group of executives. The topic was related to our work in locating high-value information using open source content sources.

Shortly after our presentation I read “Google Was Willing to Beat Facebook’s $19B Offer for WhatsApp.” Quite a windfall for WhatsApp.

The thought that struck me was the way the deal illuminated a comment made by an investment banker attending out lecture last week. The former consultant told me:

We focus on innovation. We are looking in high tech sectors.

The statement is a bit of misdirection. The investment firm wants to find companies, inject cash, and then do a deal like the WhatsApp anomaly. The user of the word “innovation” is an audible pause. Like the person who uses “so” or “um” in conversation, the individual talking about innovation is not interested in innovation.

SchwartzReport: California Exports Virtual Water to China While Killing Less Influential Farmers

03 Economy, 12 Water

Water is destiny. Here is a view of water you may not have considered. It gets virtually no coverage in the U.S.

California Drought: Why Farmers Are ‘Exporting Water' to China
ALASTAIR LEITHEAD – BBC News (U.K.)

Phi Beta Iota: “Virtual water” is a vital aspect of true cost economics as pioneered by Herman Daly. Governments that do not do true cost economics are in constant betrayal of the public trust.

Berto Jongman: 214 Human Brain Poisons Identified

03 Economy, 07 Health, 11 Society, Cultural Intelligence, Earth Intelligence

Growing number of chemicals linked with brain disorders in children

214 human neurotoxicants now identified — many widely used and disseminated extensively in the global environment

Toxic chemicals may be triggering the recent increases in neurodevelopmental disabilities among children — such as autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and dyslexia — according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The researchers say a new global prevention strategy to control the use of these substances is urgently needed.

The report was published online February 15, 2014 in Lancet Neurology.

“The greatest concern is the large numbers of children who are affected by toxic damage to brain development in the absence of a formal diagnosis. They suffer reduced attention span, delayed development, and poor school performance. Industrial chemicals are now emerging as likely causes,” said Philippe Grandjean, adjunct professor of environmental health at HSPH.

The report follows up on a similar review conducted by the authors in 2006 that identified five industrial chemicals as “developmental neurotoxicants,” or chemicals that can cause brain deficits.

HAARP, Chemtrails, and Weather Modification – The True Source of Climate Change

EXTRACT:

No leader in power is talking about the coming food crisis coming this summer and beyond, due to the lack of water in California. California is the “bread basket” of food produce and farmers will be cutting back severely on planting in the upcoming growing season.

Joe Trippi: Technology is killing cronies, and there will be a libertarian president. And sooner than you think. (Video)

By Nick Sorrentino on February 21, 2014

Trippi is an old time Democratic consultant who is very smart and his analysis here is interesting. This is a video well worth watching for those who care about the massive political changes going on right now especially on the so called American “Right.” He sees the libertarian movement as perhaps the most important movement in American politics and a movement which will change (and is changing) the political landscape.

4th Media: Paul Craig Roberts on US Intelligence Lying to Congress

Cultural Intelligence

The Five CRIMINALS: In AMERICA, the Gestapo Has Replaced the RULE of LAW

Paul Craig Roberts

RT is the best English language news source available to Americans. On January 29, RT published a photo of 5 presidential appointees lying through their teeth to Congress.

All five of these Gestapo wannabes are in violation of their oath of office to protect the Constitution of the United States. They have relentlessly violated the Constitution, which makes these five, who are in charge of US intelligence and black operations, traitors to the United States.

Yet, they have not been arrested and put on trial. Congress is content to sit there and listen to their ongoing lies time after time after time, despite the fact that these 5 have committed more and worse crimes against our country than the “terrorists” that serve as an excuse for the crimes committed by the intelligence agencies.

Read full article.

Phi Beta Iota: Two major points to be made here.

First, we try not to censor our contributing editors and channels. “Gestapo” is an outrageous word. Our intelligence “leaders” are civil servants working within a very corrupt system in which the Congress is demanding that they lie. What they are not willing to do is insist on telling the truth and accepting the prospect of being fired for doing so (this is the same dilemma faced by Colin Powell, who also chose to foresake his Oath to defend and protect the Constitution, against “going along” with treason). The US Government consists of good people trapped in a bad system, and “leaders” that are more like senior clerks than actual drivers of ethics and innovation.

Second, there are no criminal justice processes or sanctions sufficient to fix this. Our problems are political in nature. While our intelligence leaders have certainly disappointed us all in their unwillingess to tell the truth as an absolute good, at root this is about a US government — legislative, judiciary, and executive — that considers itself above the law and that no longer represents the public. A civil war has begun, pitting the 99% against the 1% and their captive Nazified government that will tell any lie and commit any crime favorable to its perpetuation in power.
