Matt Taibbi – Senators Grovel, Embarrass Themselves At Dimon Hearing – 16 June 2012

I was unable to watch J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon’s Senate testimony live the other day, so I had to get up yesterday morning and check it out on the Banking Committee’s web site. I had an inkling, from the generally slavish news reports about the hearing that started to come out Wednesday night, that it would be a hard thing to watch.

Wall Street Confidence Trick: The Interest Rate Swaps that Are Bankrupting Local Governments

The “toxic culture of greed” on Wall Street was highlighted again last week, when Greg Smith went public with his resignation from Goldman Sachs in a scathing oped published in the New York Times.  In other recent eyebrow-raisers, LIBOR rates—the benchmark interest rates involved in interest rate swaps—were shown to be manipulated by the banks that would have to pay up; and the objectivity of the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) was called into question, when a 50% haircut for creditors was not declared a “default” requiring counterparties to pay on credit default swaps on Greek sovereign debt.

John Ward – Sketch : Time Running Out For Al-Blankfein As Wall Street Spring Arrives Early – 20 March 2012

Internal reforms denounced as ‘window dressing’

Now that it is clear that L’oyd Al-Blankfein’s evil regime at Goldman Syria has the natives in open revolt, I think it’s high time the UN stepped in to boycott the firm’s products. Before fleeing dissident Greg S’mith’s open letter to Nu YorJhatimes, of course, we all knew anyway that Goldman was up to no good. It was bankrolling Greek embezzlers and working with the terrorist organisation Hedgbofund, but the point is that, now weve been told they crap on clients, well….we have no choice but to condemn it.

John Ward – DEBT SWAP ‘RESULT’: Hold The Euphoria….Validation, Scrutiny And Poison Pills Still To Come – 9 March 2012

The White House-Wall Street-Berlin-Frankfurt plan is still on track

Before everyone forgets what The Slog has said in recent days about this tiresome debt-swap mirage, let me just summarise:

1. I said plans had been put in place for a Greek default March 23rd. The last date set for bond-swap settlements announced yesterday is….March 23rd.

The Big Wall Street Banks Are Already Trying To Buy The 2012

The Big Wall Street Banks Are Already Trying To Buy The 2012. via 2012IndyInfo.wordpress.com by Laura Tyco

We are never going to restore legitimacy to our
political system until we get the money out of politics.  Typically, in federal
elections the candidate that raises the most money wins about 90 percent of the time.  In 2008, Barack Obama raised almost
twice as much money as John McCain did.  3 of the top 7 donors to Obama’s
campaign were big Wall Street banks (Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup).  Now Wall Street
is doing it again.  The big Wall Street banks are already trying to buy the 2012
election.  So who do they want to win in 2012?  Based on contribution patterns
so far, the overwhelming favorite of the Wall Street banks to win in 2012 is
Mitt Romney.  The big Wall Street banks have given to Romney as pile of money
that is more than 4 times larger than they have given to anyone else.  Even
though most Republicans really don’t want him, if history is any indication this
means that Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican nominee for president in
2012.
