The plot is thickening fast in Italy. Romano Prodi – Mr Euro himself – is calling for a Latin Front to rise up against Germany and force through a reflation policy before the whole experiment of monetary union spins out of control.

DealBook – After SAC Plea, Fellow Funds May Pay – 6 November 2013

DealBook

By ALEXANDRA STEVENSON

In striking its $1.2 billion settlement with SAC Capital Advisors, the government set a record for insider trading penalties. For the hedge fund industry, the hidden costs of the deal are even bigger.

Tougher regulatory scrutiny since the financial crisis and changes in the law have forced hedge funds to spend millions of dollars a year on new compliance measures to make sure that they are not ensnared in the same net as SAC. This has added to the cost of doing business, which can cut into returns.

Steve Lendman – Kerry In Cairo – 6 November 2013

On July 3, Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) ousted President Mohamed Morsi.

Doing so was an old-fashioned coup. It has no legitimacy. It doesn’t matter. Junta power replaced an elected government. Interim officials were appointed.

A previous article asked when is a coup not one? When John Kerry says so. When he claims lawlessness restores democracy. Junta rule is polar opposite.

ZeroHedge – Guest Post: Congress Sells Out To Wall Street, Again

Originally posted at Represent.us blog,

The U.S. House just passed a bill called H.R. 992 – the Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act – that was literally written by mega-bank lobbyists. It repeals the laws passed in 2010 to prevent another meltdown like the one that crashed our economy in 2008. The repeal was co-sponsored by a former Goldman Sachs executive and passed with bipartisan support from some of the House’s largest recipients of Wall Street cash. It’s so appalling… so unbelievable… so blatantly corrupt… that you’ve got to see it to believe it:

ActivistPost – Sally Oh – IRS Defeated By Hung Jury Against Tax Resister – 6 November 2013

This morning, the jury in Doreen Hendrickson’s trial returned to the courthouse and deliberated all day. At around 5pm, they finally emerged and presented their verdict: hung jury. Hung by ONE! What a delightful victory!!!

One juror stood up to the others, stood up to the IRS (no small undertaking) and to the judiciary — who was clearly making decisions on the side of the IRS.
