Buffett Doubles Down On Another Taxpayer Funded Bailout: Warren Buffett’s Hypocrisy Exposed – Part 2 of 99

August 29th, 2011 · No Comments · Economy, Politics & Government

Warren Buffett invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs right before they were bailed out. He then cashed in on the taxpayer funded bailout that followed. Now he drops $5 billion on Bank of America…

As I said in Part 1:

Warren says he wants to be taxed more by a President who does his bidding. So, essentially, Warren wants the “mega-wealthy” to be taxed more so his puppet politicians will have some more funds to spend on bailing out his criminal partners on Wall Street, thus saving Warren’s personal wealth, yet again….

Warren is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. On the surface, he sounds like a benevolent billionaire who is willing to sacrifice for the good of the country, yet he hasn’t done anything with his money other than invest billions in criminal vampire companies like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, and buy off politicians. And now, he has his puppet Obama killing investigations into Bank of America as he is blatantly running a political bribery operation and pumping $5 billion of his own money into the bank.

Warren Buffett’s Hypocrisy Exposed – Part 1 of 99

August 26th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Activism, Economy, Hotlist, Politics & Government

I still haven’t received any response to my open letter to Warren Buffet concerning his meaningless PR ploy to dupe non-billionaires into thinking he cares about them. Not a single word back from any of Warren’s people yet. Not surprising though, he has been very busy this week.

First off, Warren has been fronting for the system of political bribery by planning a “fund-raising” event for the ultimate bankster puppet, Barack Obama. Maybe I’ll just go to this event at the swank Four Seasons hotel in NYC and have a little conversation with Warren. Does anyone have $35k I can borrow? That’s how much it is to get into this event VIP style.

Wall Street Pentagon Papers Part III – Are The Federal Reserve’s Crimes Still Too Big To Comprehend?

August 23rd, 2011 · 36 Comments · Economy, Hotlist, Politics & Government

Wall Street Pentagon Papers Part III - Are The Federal Reserve's Crimes Still Too Big To ComprehendAnother day, another trillion plus in secret Federal Reserve “bailouts” revealed. Bloomberg News exposes this latest Fed “deal” after winning a long Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) legal battle to get the details on what was done with the American people’s money. Their report runs with an AmpedStatus style headline: “Wall Street Aristocracy Got $1.2 Trillion From Fed.”

Yes, truth hits the mainstream every now and then. The aristocracy is alive and well… thanks to the Fed, of course.

Keep in mind, this $1.2 trillion is in addition to the $16 trillion the Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit revealed and the over $2 trillion in Quantitative Easing the Fed dished out, not to mention the now continued promise of the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP). This is also separate from the $700 billion TARP program that Congress approved. This is yet another unknown secret program, throwing another mere $1.2 trillion in public money at the Wall Street elite (global banking cartel), just being revealed now.

Enlightened Citizens Unite!

As long as the economy and government are rigged by the top economic one-tenth of one percent, we will all lose. It's time to unite and fight back!

AmpedStatus is part of a decentralized movement that has two key goals:

1) Break up the "Too Big To Fail" banks and Federal Reserve.

2) End the system of political bribery (campaign finance, lobbying, revolving door.)

Unless we organize and take decisive action on these two core common ground issues, we will all suffer the consequences of our inaction.

Get Involved. As a first step, join the AmpedStatus Social Network.
