But after eight years of keeping a heavy secret, the day came when Alayne Fleischmann couldn't take it anymore. "It was like watching an old lady get mugged on the street," she says. "I thought, 'I can't sit by any longer.'" For near identical crimes, an Israeli and a Palestinian’s fate couldn’t be more different. A Palestinian hit-and-run suspect is sent to prison and winds up dead; a Jewish suspected of a similar but deadlier crime in the West Bank is sent home to his family.
By John Brown* (translated by Sol Salbe) Israeli soldiers arresting a Palestinian man. (Illustrative photo by Anne Paq/Activestills.org) Three months ago, on July 26, Raed al Jabari, a 35-year-old a father of five, was driving on Route 60 through the West Bank. He apparently fell asleep at the wheel (having earlier taken painkillers). Al Jabari was immediately arrested and taken to the Ofer military prison. On September 9, Jabari was transferred to the Eshel Prison in Beersheba — inside the Green Line Israel — in flagrant violation of international law, which prohibits the transfer of prisoners outside of occupied territory. The findings of the Israeli autopsy have not been published to this date. I don’t know which of the accounts is the true one, and for our purposes it does not matter.

Charles Keating Jr., figure in 1980s savings and loan scandal, dead at 90 - World. Charles H.
Keating Jr., the notorious financier who served prison time and was disgraced for his role in the costliest savings and loan failure of the 1980s, has died. He was 90. A person with direct knowledge of the death confirmed on Tuesday that Keating had died but didn't provide further details. The person wasn't authorized to release the information and spoke on condition of anonymity. When Keating's Phoenix-based home construction company, American Continental Corp., bought Lincoln Savings & Loan in 1984, the multimillionaire elevated its worth from $1.1 billion to $5.5 billion in a four-year period. But his financial empire crumbled with state and federal convictions for defrauding investors.
The thrift's collapse cost taxpayers $2.6 billion and tarnished the reputations of five senators who became known as the "Keating Five. " As the public heard testimony of elderly bondholders who had lost their life savings, Keating became a national poster boy for corporate greed. U.S. Does The Trail Of Dead Bankers Lead Somewhere? What are we to make of this sudden rash of banker suicides?
Does this trail of dead bankers lead somewhere? Or could it be just a coincidence that so many bankers have died in such close proximity? I will be perfectly honest and admit that I do not know what is going on. But there are some common themes that seem to link at least some of these deaths together. First of all, most of these men were in good health and in their prime working years. What would cause a young man that is making really good money to jump off of a 30 story building? An investment banker at JP Morgan jumped to his death from the roof of the bank's headquarters in Central yesterday.Witnesses said the man went to the roof of the 30-storey Chater House in the heart of Hong Kong's central business district and, despite attempts to talk him down, jumped to his death.
Scandal: Bank Of England Encouraged Currency Manipulation By Banks. Raise your hand if you are surprised that, as has emerged, virtually every major bank was manipulating currencies (and everything else) whether as part of the "Bandits' Club", the "Cartel" or some other - until recently- secret message room.
That's what we thought. Now raise your hand if you thought the manipulation could be so pervasive, so glaring and so in your face, that even the oldest central bank - the Bank of England - and who knows how many other monetary authorities, were openly encouraging traders from these private banks to do more of the illegal activity they had been engaging in - namely manipulating currencies - with their explicit blessing knowing very well such behavior is undisputedly illegal. From Bloomberg: Wait for it, wait for it...
But for now the bank had this to say: A spokeswoman for the Bank of England declined to comment about the 2012 meeting beyond what was contained in a summary provided to Bloomberg News last month.
