Let me shorten your work day for you. Don’t bother. You won’t find it. Because it doesn’t exist.[/quote]
You are making me want to go and find it. I told you I don’t have the time.[/quote]And yet you seem to have plenty of time to keep telling us that you have no time. And your posts keep coming. There’s a contradiction at hand. Why don’t you save up some “posting time” and re-allocate it to “finding it” time. And then after you find it you can post it. Just a thought.[/quote]
BING. Time’s up for davelj for now. If Dave has something to contribute concerning the video at the beginning of this thread, then he can rejoin….. And he was doing so well.[/quote]I have unfortunate news for you, “investor.” You’re not the arbiter of when someone’s “time is up.” Now, didn’t you say you were, “running between people to see”? And yet you’re still posting… I think it’s great that George Soros doesn’t mind you surfing the internet during your important meetings with him. Tell him I said, “Hello.”[/quote]
Can you not read? Here is my prior entry regarding my dislike for soros : George soros? boy, have you got me wrong. George Soros, in my book, is the main reason we have the socialistic trends in the federal Government right now. Not something, a die hard capitilist like me likes.Participant[quote=davelj][quote=investor][quote=davelj][quote=investor][quote=davelj][quote=investor]So, one of the two of you brings up his degrees, I bring up mine and I am the smarty pants?

I don’t know how to highlight parts of quotes so that is why it reads like a run on sentence. But, is that the only response you have to the topic? You point out typos as intelligent responses?

You are playing a dangerous game with your freedom when you remain in selective ignorance by placing all your trust in authors whose writings mirror your own thoughts, philosophies, and prejudices.
Excellent quote, eavesdropper. Investor, I’d use the example of selecting a surgeon for a very dangerous brain operation. I’d imagine you’d do a great deal of research on this doctor, including verifying that he/she is a Fellow with the American College of Surgeons (FACS), has done this operation (and with success) numerous times before, and is well regarded as a leader in the field of brain surgery.
I cannot imagine you’d simply pick someone because they told you they’d read some books on the subject, found it interesting, and would like to take a crack at trepanning you for the hell of it.
You mentioned that I like to fight. I actually don’t. I enjoy debating tremendously and I hate being misquoted. In this case, I found your lack of intellectual curiosity frustrating, especially given your slavish adherence to what amounts to a crackpot (hence my suggestion to do a little digging into Mr. Griffin’s background). Further, you had professionals like SK (CPA) and Davelj (banking and finance) weighing in and offering excellent insights on the subject and you’re retorting with Wiki entries and an added dollop of Griffin.
As with anything else: DIG. Even more important, find the facts. “In God We Trust. Everyone Else Bring Data”. A most excellent tagline, don’t you agree?

Good questions. The fed has never been audited. We don’t know who owns the shares.I’m not sure why you think an audit would necessarily reveal ownership. For publicly traded companies, the only required disclosure is for 5% or more ownership. From my previous life as a CPA, my recollection is that disclosure of ownership is not necessarily required unless it is material to the ongoing business of the entity.
What we do know from other disclosures, is that all federally chartered banks have investments in the fed, and through the fed’s website (and in some cases from individual stockholder banks financial disclosures) that ownership (and investment) is based on the capital of those individual banks and pays a fixed rate of return.
I didn’t bring up credentials first. SV from CV and Allen from Fallbrook did, as I have said. You made me go back and prove you wrong. I wasted my time doing so. Will you say that you were wrong or will you try to wiggle out of it? (I know that you did not give out credentials but the three of you are siblings anyway.)I thought so.ParticipantHere is one from the other tread.
