Some days....

   You know...there are days when I feel like screaming this.

Watch full episode of Keiser Report 190 on Thursday. This time Max Keiser and co-host, Stacy Herbert, ask why #occupywallstreet protesters are maced in the face for merely walking on the sidewalk while JP Morgan's CEO can throw a tirade in the face of regulators and a central banker without being pepper sprayed. They ask why Vince Cable doesn't pack some pepper spray when confronted with 'investor' threats. They also look at what infamous BBC guest, now viral Youtube sensation and famous tweeter - Alessio Rastani said that was so upsetting to the powers that be. In the second half of the show Max talks to Nomi Prins, author of Black Tuesday, about all the manic meetings happening around the world to save the global financial system facade when it is the system itself rotting from within that is the problem. Nomi Prins also compares the current financial crisis to the first Great Depression.

And then there are days when I feel like doing this: 
 



Then there are days where I'm actually just doing this:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Then there are times when I laugh, and hysterically at things like this:

Then I read things like this:  brought to you by, http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/Home/home.htm
 

THE KING CENTER IMAGING PROJECT

As of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2012, tens of thousands of never-before-seen documents associated with Dr. King are now accessible online and available to anyone in the world with access to the internet.
The King Center Imaging Project is an effort to digitize, preserve and make publicly available the tens of thousands of documents, housed at the King Center, from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other key figures and organizations from the Civil Rights Movement.
Over the course of nine months, JPMorgan Chase built a team of over 200 individuals to execute the Project. Project members focused on digitizing close to 200,000 documents associated with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The most famous speeches and correspondence by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – such as Dr. King's I Have a Dream speech, Letter from Birmingham Jail, and Dr. King's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech – can now be viewed around the world at any given moment, by visiting http://www.thekingcenter.org/archive
 
 
But, I feel that this is probably a more accurate message:


 Then I read this:

Alleged Whistleblower Veteran Loan Fraud Lawsuit Settled by JPMorgan Chase

(SOURCE Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP) – JPMorgan Chase Bank has finalized a settlement that will pay the federal government $45 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that it cheated military veterans and taxpayers out of millions of dollars by hiding illegal fees in veterans’ home mortgage refinancing transactions and then seeking to collect on void government loan guarantees.
This “qui tam” (whistleblower) lawsuit, brought under the False Claims Act by two whistleblowers, seeks to recover this money on behalf of the U.S. government from eight banks and mortgage companies.  JPMorgan Chase Bank is the first to settle these claims.
The case is still pending against Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, CitiMortgage, Suntrust Mortgage, Washington Mutual Bank, PNC Bank (which acquired National City Mortgage Co.), Countrywide Home Loans, Mortgage Investors Corp., and First Tennessee Bank (which acquired First Horizon Home Loan Corp.).
“We are proud to be part of an effort to return tens of millions of dollars to the government for fraud that would have otherwise gone undetected,” said co-lead counsel in the case, James E. Butler, Jr., of the Atlanta law firm Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP. “JPMorgan Chase is but one lender that thought it could get away with charging illegal fees to veterans and hiding these illegal charges.”
Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP teamed with Wilbanks & Bridges, LLP of Atlanta and Phillips & Cohen, LLP of Washington, D.C., to pursue the lawsuit on behalf of the whistleblowers and the government. The three law firms have won record verdicts and settlements and have extensive experience in whistleblower cases.
“Our lawsuit alleges that these lenders committed blatant fraud,” said co-lead counsel Marlan Wilbanks of Atlanta.  “Although JPMorgan Chase has paid to settle its claims, we are looking forward to moving the case against the other defendant lenders.  These banks should be held accountable for causing the government to pay millions of dollars on void loan guarantees.”
“This case involves illegal fees charged in millions of veterans’ home mortgage refinancing transactions and illegally obtained taxpayers funds used to back those mortgages,” said Mary Louise Cohen, a Washington, D.C., attorney who is co-counsel on the case. “Banks shouldn’t be allowed to get away with cheating veterans and taxpayers.”
The whistleblower lawsuit was filed in 2006 in federal district court in Atlanta, Ga., by two mortgage brokers. For more information about the case and examples of fraudulent refinancing transactions, visit www.vamortgagefraud.com.

BUT THEN I READ THIS:
 
JPMORGAN CHASE COMMITS TO HELP 100,000 VETERANS FIND JOBS AT HOME
 
So, I think to myself, DO they even HAVE HOMES ANYMORE??
