GLOBAL FRAUD - Stop the Corruption, Hypocrisy, Lies, Death

Post by EricMagic » Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:48 am

Hey Wake Up!

GLOBAL FRAUD is a much bigger problem than GLOBAL WARMING!

Anyone out there finding any articles, concentrated studies, or dedicated persons investigating fraud by companies, cults, special interest groups, illegal immigrants, or likewise those persons, companies, or counties that indirectly support fraud in the USA?

From what I have witnessed, seen, heard, and read, the level of fraud and hypocrisy by various groups and their supporters is staggering. However, it seems to be a topic that many officials, investigators, and even lawyers do not talk about or do not seem to fully understand. There are occasional reports and events of actual hard evidence, but there does not seem to be much in way of in-depth prosecutions or investigations.

Global Fraud should be a much bigger topic than Global Warming!

Note:
When you really think about, if we start focusing on the hypocrisy and hurtful lies we can take care of so many other issues. Add this topic to the Cultural Wars and the Popularity Game - Who Has the Most Self Confidence / Delusion. GLOBAL FRAUD is the real deal to thwart both Pin Head Left Wingers, and Obnoxious Arrogant Right Wingers.

little known fact, but George Gobel was Minister of Internment in the Third Reich reporting directly to Hitler himself, and his appearances on Hollywood Squares in the 60s were often punctuated with hilarious gags about gas chambers and railroad cars.

As requested by the Estate of George Gobel, I would like to state that my last post was total fabrication designed for entertainment purposes only

George Gobel was a very funny man indeed. You must be my age to remember him.

Not really,

While there is an awful lot of fraudulent stuff coming out of Nigeria, it is peanuts compared to the fraud perpetrated by Bush, Cheny, Haliburton and company. 4000 dead US soldiers, 938 pre Iraq war lies documented by two or three non partizan journalist groups and billiions of our tax dollars unaccounted for. Talk about fraudsters, these guys are the true world class champs in that department!

Hmmm - Watch out for Presidential Hopfulls

Post by EricMagic » Sat Feb 09, 2008 10:54 pm

John McCain seems very corrupt.

Wow, after seeing more video and artifacts on McCain's actions in politics, I really find him a big time duplicity player.

Please post any more hard evidence you have on McCain, or any other politicain presently in office or running for big time office. This John McCain guy may need to be stooped ASAP.

Don't believe in Swift Boating him, but his positions have changed as he tries to convince the extreme right side of his party that he is one of them. He is probably a principled guy, but the electoral system applies such enormous pressure that deformity is unavoidable.

For my part, I'm supporting Obama. Hopefully he won't have too many IOUs and will be able to continue to energize young folks to become engaged in the process and be able to continue to inspire and thus bring a change of emphasis to the political landscape. Science, the environment, alternative energy, health care and education reform to name but a few. And oh yes this terrible and needless war in Iraq. I don't envy anyone that has to clean up the mess created by the current administration.

Probably more than you wanted to know, but what the hell!

Whatever we do, we don't want any politician who will listening to the opposition and try to find a compromise.

The minute they start sharing ideas with the other half of America they should be immediately distrusted. Cooperation must not be tolerated!

??? Zero In ON Corruption and Ethics

Post by EricMagic » Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:31 pm

I think context and intent is very important when considering ethics, and the zeroing in if someone is corrupt or not.

Cooperation with different people on doing practical things is probably a good thing, but doing any compromises or the dilution of your values and principles is usually a very bad thing.

Iggy Pop - Burned anything today?

Post by EricMagic » Fri Feb 29, 2008 2:58 am

Hey Look at Iggy Pop, he has a great song and video on Corruption:

Any progress on removing the corruption from your neighborhood? Or your Workplace? Or your Country? Or Your Mind?

Notice to the Non-Paranoid: Make preparations now to take on the Shills, the Corrupt, and Manipulators, the Liars, and the Fakers, since Corruption is sleazing its way throughout the world as we live and breath.

Absolutely -

Boeing lost a 40 Billion dollar contract because 2 or 3 asshats in their contracting office were unethical. Now THOUSANDS of employees will be laid off in the puget sound area.

Characteristics of Corrupt People

Post by EricMagic » Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:00 pm

What is the make up of a Corrupt Person?

This is possibly one of the most important questions to address to keep your life free of Corrupt Vermin, and Soul Sucking Vampires.

Listed below are some characteristics of some typical Corrupt Persons, but this of course is not a complete list nor true for all Corrupt Persons who can be quite diverse:
  • ... hurl insults to those who threaten to expose them for what they are, hypocrites and self serving.

    .. often will talk on and on about how they are smart, great, and are the "right ones", but are often lacking on substance and lacking of making long term solutions.

    ...greatly value appearances and like to make the impression of confidence even to the point of being self absorbed or snobbish.

    ...highlight the smallest of flaws in those who are generally not corrupt, and especially highlight flaws or slander against those they believe can or will expose them for what they truly are.
Corrupt Persons are some of the most disgusting and loathsome things on the entire planet. If they went away then possibly more than 50% of the ills on the planet would go away.
