Volcker: 'Financial System Is Broken' Article Tools FacebookTwitterGoogle+EmailSharePrint The financial system is still at risk even after an overhaul of financial regulation in the United States and new capital requirements for international banks, says Paul A. Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve and an adviser to President Obama. In a bleak assessment delivered Thursday at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s 13th annual International Banking Conference, Mr. Volcker said: The reason we are all here is that the financial system is broken.
Mr. “Relying on judgment all the time makes for a very heavy burden whether you are regulating an individual institution or whether you are regulating the whole market,” he said. “Even if you sense something going wrong, doing something about it is extremely difficult,” he said. In his speech, Mr. Volcker unloaded on banks and CEOs; he trashed regulators and the inept business schools.

Jeff Zucker, the chief executive of NBC Universal, told the company’s employees in an e-mail Friday morning that he would step down from his position upon the completion of the takeover of NBC by Comcast. Peter Kramer/Associated PressJeff Zucker, the chief executive of NBC Universal, will step down upon the completion of the takeover of NBC by Comcast.
The fate of Mr. Zucker, the longest-serving senior manager at NBC, had been the subject of widespread speculation since Comcast agreed in December to purchase 51 percent of NBCU from its long-time corporate owner, General Electric. The deal is expected to close at the end of the year, following regulatory approval. In an interview at NBC’s executive offices, Mr. Zucker, who is 45, said the decision to leave the only employer he has ever worked for — a decision that he acknowledged was not his own choice — became inevitable after a meeting two weeks ago with Steve Burke, Comcast’s chief operating officer.

BOJ Holds Emergency Meeting as Yen Threatens Growth. GORDON DUFF: 9/11 PLANNERS CONFESS ON NETWORK TELEVISION : Veterans Today. By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor How can a nation like the United States be duped into two wars and total bankruptcy? It would be one thing if the “truth” about 9/11 was internet conspiracy theory. This isn’t the case. It was all right there in everyone’s living room. They fooled us once and then fooled us again and again.
Yes, America has some tail to kick but this time, maybe we should make sure our boot goes up the right rear end for a change. The real hole in the Pentagon, before construction equipment enlarged it was so small a man had to duck his head to enter.

Creditdiamondnetwork : Creditdiamondnetwork. Dan Rather talks about the corrupt Corporate media. Corruption in the media is a subject Rather should be familiar with, he practiced it his whole career. His news reports were always slanted towards his own personal agenda. He was one of the first to use his position to pass off his opinion as news. Quoting: Epic Beard Guy IMO, he started his career at a time when news casters could influence people with thier own opinions. During his career TPTB wanted 100% of the control; that why now all the talking heads are nothing but programmed puppets controlled by the bug in their ear, and the teleprompter. /wishing I was part of the eliet RANT ON/ Most 'news' is scripted NLP Programming by TPTB. 99% of the people who watch T.V. are nothing more than programmed 'media lemmings'. Writing about this fact will change nothing, cause very very few media lemmings ever read this stuff. So, who is most likely to read this?
If anyone cares, ever since I discovered the NLP arts used in the media, my connection with the common man dropped to near zero.

US Prepares For Gold Standard. -- Posted Wednesday, 18 August 2010 | Share this article | Source: GoldSeek.com By Bix Weir I have often written about the US Treasury and US Mint's very strange behavior when it comes to their part in continuing "business as usual" for the fiat monetary system. Although many have chalked up the Mint's rationing of Gold and Silver American Eagle coins to normal behavior of inept government employees and government bureaucracy, I have a much different take on the subject.
I believe they are trying to DELAY and LIMIT the American Eagle program until such time as the US is ready to go back on a gold and silver standard. To understand this objective it helps to go back to a very important moment in our monetary past... It was March of 1982 when Reagan's Gold Commission released their final report on the "Role of Gold in the Domestic and International Monetary Systems". Gold Commission Report What I found most interesting is the report's conclusion on page 21 which I explored in this article:
