Review of Constroversal Golman Sachs Pitch Book

Here's a review of the controversial Goldman Sachs pitch book for the CBO over which Goldman Sachs has been accused of fraud by the SEC.

SEC's Fraud Accusation Against Goldman Sachs

You can read the SEC allegation here.

It's filled with jargon but essentially, the story goes, Goldman Sachs a) sold a CBO to two European banks, b) without telling them that the investments which the CBO contained were selected by a hedge fund which c) would be paid out by insurance money (credit default swap) should that CBO fail.

A large part of the case revolves around this pitch book concerning the alleged fraudulent investment.

What the Goldman Sachs Fraud Investigation Means To Us

Here's a very good analysis of the Goldman Sachs investigation into alleged fraud.

Bill O'Reilly Gets Malmady Massacre All Wrong Twice, and Fox News Tries to Hides It

I know this is a old (2006) but it needs to be shown again.

Keith Olbermann calls Bill O'Reilly out for getting the facts concerning the Malmedy massacre completely backwards and twice (not once, twice) stated with misplaced certainty that Americans had massacred Germans soldiers at Malmedy. (It was the other way around, the Germans massacred 84 American soldiers who had earlier surrendered.)

And then Fox News alters a transcript effectively hiding the second stuff up by Bill O'Reilly. How are we supposed to even trust their transcripts?

Obama Did Not Support After Birth Abortion

I wish I read this earlier.

15. Falsehood: Obama opposed protecting "babies that survived late-term abortions"

During the election I read that Obama supported the killing off of aborted babies that had been taken out of the womb because he voted against an Admentment to this act. He did vote against because he believed existing laws already prevented that. And the charge which prompted the introduction of that bill could not be substantiated.

To say Senator Obama thought the supposed incident was a) permissible and b) something that he supported and c) hoped to bring into law is absurd.

Maddow's CPAC Encounters

Here's Rachel Maddow looking at CPAC conference. [Note: there will be an ad before the video starts.] It's a fascinating report. She mentions some intriguing organizations.

She signs a Sarah Palin poster at a booth for Town Hall magazine, which is a part of TownHall.com.

Wohlstetter-Wolfowitz-Libby's Pre-Emptive Strike Doctrine

Fascinating article which traces the development of neo-conservative doctrine of pre-emptive strike from Albert Wohlstetter to Paul Wolfowitz to Scooter Libby.

The apprentice: Scooter Libby was a nice liberal boy until he met Paul Wolfowitz--who'd been a nice liberal boy till he met Albert Wohlstetter. A brief history of apocalyptic neoconservatism.

Introduction

Hello.

Some of you will be familiar with my previous blog, Living Armstrongism, which discusses my former religion, Armstrongism, a Christian based cult that was devised by Herbert W. Armstrong. I have since decided that he was wrong on many things and I don't need his heretical organizations to get close to God. I am now a Christian.

I'm just an ordinary guy. But I've been reading so much stuff lately that I feel I need a less COG oriented blog.

For quite awhile I have been absolutely fascinated with American politics and I feel compelled to speak my mind, for its worth on these matters. (And give myself a way to preserve any fascinating columns or posts that I see on this subject.)
