Two top ranking American bankers working in senior positions in London have committed suicide in the space of two days.
Gabriel Magee, a 39-year-old JP Morgan bank executive, died early this morning after he jumped 500ft from the top of the bank's European headquarters. His body was discovered on the ninth floor roof, which surrounds the 33-story Canary Wharf skyscraper.
Just two days earlier, on Sunday, fellow American banker, William 'Bill' Broeksmit, 58, was found hanging in his South Kensington home.
Broeksmit - who retired last February - was a former senior manager at Deutsche Bank and had lived in London many years. He started working for the bank in 1996 but left for a period of 7 years before returning in 2008.

Third Banker, Former Fed Member, "Found Dead" Inside A Week http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-3 ... nside-week

Mike Dueker was found dead at the side of a highway in Washington State.

He may have jumped over a 4-foot (1.2-meter) fence before falling down a 40- to 50-foot embankment, Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer said yesterday. He said the death appeared to be a suicide.

In the last 20 years it looks like the 200 day moving average has only been crossed by at least 2% while going down on 4 occasions. Of these half marked the start of very large bear markets. Still have another 7% to get to this.

Another way to look at it is when it has not crossed going down for a long time and then crosses going down, we have gotten big bear markets.

"The Powers-That-Be Are Secretly Terrified of the People’s Power … And Only PRETEND They’re Firmly In Control"

"Part of the reason that our actions are more powerful than we think is that courage is contagious. So is the ability to think."

"Our Actions Are More Powerful Than We Realize"

"[T]he central challenge of our time is posed not by global terrorism, but rather by the intensifying turbulence caused by the phenomenon of global political awakening. That awakening is socially massive and politically radicalizing."

The base is diluted for the ascendancy political power base.

Even our state has been divided again now to east side and west from the brain dead state department relocation's again.
It was bad enough in Lebanon as in Beirut on April 13, 1975, gunmen killed four Phalangists during an attempt on Pierre Jumayyil's life.
The net effect later locally was the relocation's that cleaned the street crime up in many areas of Detroit since if you robbed a store they did not call the Police.
I will leave it to thinking and informed readers why that was.
We clearly wish positive results. The only mindless bothersome rhetoric is the upcoming 2014 votes and the big tent ruse about narratives
to productive and unproductive enclaves. That is why I linked the canadian effect to enclaves and pandering nitwits.

It is collapsing since they write checks there ass cannot cash. Billions and billions in debt in our state and they rubs our face in it
as our area suffers. The mindless liberals bemoan more money to fix it. They are both red and blue petty thieves who know exactly what they did.

I remember when my grandmother a very long time ago was threatened to be deported who legally came here from Canada since voting record was blank.
They fled Europe and later her Sisters where butchered by the nazi later as She sent three Sons back to stop them.

Our family on both sides know exactly what nazi and communist are and we need no narrative of sanctioned press simpletons that today provide only that.

"Potemkin health care village"

Modern historians are divided on the degree of truth behind the current Potemkin health care that you can keep village story.

As we note as we go http://www.mises.org/daily/905 the most egalitarian country in the world. They may be right. The obsession with equality delivers a crushing, daily blow to anyone with a new idea or the inkling to cultivate an ability that surpasses the norm. Young people have virtually no chance to improve their lot in life, to take risks, to make it big through innovation and entrepreneurship.

asymmetric paternalism: states that paternalism should be invited if it bestows large benefits on those who make errors in judgment while imposing little or no harm upon those who are fully rational. While some may argue that this benefit to shortsighted consumers comes at the expense of retailers, it can be posited that correcting these errors in judgment enhances economic efficiency to the benefit of both parties involved. Given that achieving such change is a difficult process, it is helpful to understand the dynamics of an individual’s desires and the strategies that can effectively control them, AEA Papers and Proceedings, May 2003.

As you can see the red and blue crayons are fully rational.

The corruption of the regulatory bodies does not shake his blind confidence in the infallibility and perfection of the state; it merely fills him with moral aversion to entrepreneurs and capitalists. No one should expect that any logical argument or any experience could ever shake the almost religious fervour of those who believe in salvation through spending and credit expansion. The final outcome of the credit expansion is general impoverishment. By short-circuiting the price mechanism and forcing people into economic lives contrary to their own chosing, central planning destroys the capital base and creates economic randomness that eventually ends in killing prosperity.

Taxpayers are idiots and deserve all of it and more.
