Title: Updated: Bankers found dead ....
Post by: Libertas on January 31, 2014, 12:08:01 PM
OK, check this out...

Mike Dueker, the chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. He was 50.

He may have jumped over a 4-foot (1.2-meter) fence before falling down a 40- to 50-foot embankment, Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer said yesterday. He said the death appeared to be a suicide.

Right.  Nothing says "suicide" like a banker stopping his car, scaling a 4' fence and tumbling 40-50 feet down an embankment...   ::hysterical::

They really think everybody is a complete moron, don't they?

I bet the body has already been cremated to prevent any independent autopsy!

Like Vince Foster, the truth may have gone with him.

An embankment suggest he rolled down a steep hill.  That doesn't sound like a sure fire way to off yourself, to me.

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared the by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the Ministry of Defense is warning that the assassinations this past week of three top Western bankers coincide with Snowden Documents detailing a 15 February 2014 “catastrophe” being engineered by the Obama regime in order to establish some type of “new world economic order” prior to the coming global meltdown of markets and massive bank failures, some of which have already begun.

...The three Western bankers targeted for elimination by Obama regime “black team hit squads,” this report says, were Deutsche Bank executive Bill Broeksmit, 58, found dead at his home in Chelsea, south west London, on 26 January, JPMorgan Chase & Company vice president in technology operations Gabriel Magee, 39, who died after falling from his London headquarters on 28 January, and chief economist at Russell Investments, and former US Federal Reserve economist, Mike Dueker, 50, found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State on 31 January.

The “common link” between these bankers, this GRU report continues, began this past year after two JP Morgan whistleblowers confessed that their bank manipulates the gold and silver markets, which led to this past weeks stunning announcement that Europe's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, would withdraw from the appropriately named gold and silver price “fixing”, as European regulators investigate the manipulation of precious metals prices by Western banks.

Deutsche Bank executive Broeksmit, called among the “finest minds” in his field, and Russell Investments Dueker, ranked among the top 5 percent of economists by number of works published, this report says, were at the forefront of the European investigation into JPMorgan gold and silver price manipulation and had as their “inside man” JPMorgan tech guru Magee who oversaw his banks computer systems built for this crime.

and a fun list of the crap thats going doen

Quote
Meanwhile, things continue to deteriorate financially around the globe.  Just consider some of the things that have happened in the last 48 hours...

-According to the Bangkok Post, people are "stampeding to yank their deposits out of banks" in Thailand right now.

-Venezuela is coming apart at the seams.  Just check out the photos in this article.

-The unemployment rate in South Africa is above 24 percent.

-Ukraine is on the verge of total collapse...

Three weeks of uneasy truce between the Ukrainian government and Western-oriented protesters ended Tuesday with an outburst of violence in which at least three people were killed, prompting a warning from authorities of a crackdown to restore order. Protesters outside the Ukrainian parliament hurled broken bricks and Molotov cocktails at police, who responded with stun grenades and rubber bullets.
-This week we learned that the level of bad loans in Spain has risen to a new all-time high of 13.6 percent.

-China is starting to quietly sell off U.S. debt.  Already, Chinese U.S. Treasury holdings are down to their lowest level in almost a year.

-During the 4th quarter of 2013, U.S. consumer debt rose at the fastest pace since 2007.

-U.S. homebuilder confidence just experienced the largest one month decline ever recorded.

-George Soros has doubled his bet that the S&P 500 is going to crash.  His total bet is now up to about $1,300,000,000.


Yep, we got time to get through another 2 elections...not.

Post by: Glock32 on February 20, 2014, 11:04:28 AM
Yeah the laws of economics don't apply here! Just like the law of gravity doesn't apply, I mean just ask those bankers!

Why have people been so willing to believe that you can bribe voters with theoretical money (you know, it'll be part of future revenue, yeah that's the ticket) without end, and that it's not going to all come crashing down?  Is it just that people assumed the undoing would not come until they are long gone? Like that somehow makes it ok, to give a giant middle finger to people not even born yet?

We are learning that civilization depends almost entirely on voluntary compliance. The ability of the state to run roughshod over people with their militarized police depends on people choosing not to resist. The ability of fiat currency to have any purchasing power depends on people choosing to believe that it does. Any of these things can change dramatically when people choose otherwise. The preference cascade.

Banker Suicides: The JPMorgan-CIA-NYPD connection

Exposing what lies beneath the bodies of dead bankers and what lies ahead for us

By Doug Hagmann  Monday, February 17, 2014

I feel that this is one of the most important investigations I’ve ever done. If my findings are correct, each of us might soon experience a severe, if not crippling blow to our personal finances, the confiscation of any wealth some of us have been able to accumulate over our lifetimes, and the end of the financial world as we once knew it. The evidence to support my findings exists in the trail of dead bodies of financial executives across the globe and a missing Wall Street Journal Reporter who was working at the Dow Jones news room at the time of his disappearance.

If the bodies were dots on a piece of paper, connecting them results in a sinister picture being drawn that involves global criminal activity in the financial world the likes of which is almost without precedent. It should serve as a warning that we are at the precipice of something so big, it will shake the financial world as we know it to its core. It seems to illustrate the complicity of big banks and governments, the intelligence community, and the media.

Although the trail of mysterious and bizarre deaths detailed below begin in late January, 2014, there are others. Not only that, there will be more, according to sources within the financial world. Based on my findings, these are not mere random, tragic cases of suicide, but of the methodical silencing of individuals who had the ability to expose financial fraud at the highest levels, and the complicity of certain governmental agencies and individuals who are engaged in the greatest theft of wealth the world has ever seen.

It is often said that life imitates art. In the case of the dead financial executives, perhaps death imitates theater, or more specifically, the movie The International, which was coincidently released in U.S. theaters exactly five years ago today.

We are told by the media that the untimely deaths of these young men and men in their prime are either suicides or tragic accidents. We are told what to believe by the captured and controlled media, regardless of how unusual or unlikely the circumstances, or how implausible the explanation. Such are the hallmarks of high level criminality and the involvement of a certain U.S. intelligence agency intent on keeping the lid on money laundering on a global scale.

Obviously, it is important that this topic is approached with the utmost respect for the families of those who died, that they be allowed to grieve for the loss of their loved ones in private. However, it is extremely important that the truth about what is happening in the global financial arena is not kept from us, as we will also be victims of a different nature.

The missing and the dead: a timeline

{{snip}}

Perhaps we would be well advised to not only consider the capabilities of the surveillance apparatus that exists where the big banks and police are working at adjacent surveillance terminals at 55 Broadway and other locations, but the incestuous working relationship between the banks and the CIA when we read about banker suicides.

Do not expect to see any exclusive report on this in the corporate media, for they, as requested, have dutifully maintained their code of silence by not showing pictures of the brass name plates that identify the bankster terminals situated adjacent to the police terminals during photo shoots of this super-secret surveillance complex a few years ago. As detailed by the tenacious and indefatigable Pam Martens, journalist for Wall Street on Parade in this article, the captured media took a pass on revealing the whole truth about what’s really going on at 55 Broadway.

What has been revealed here is merely the tip of the iceberg. The tentacles of the corporate elite, facilitated and empowered by the CIA, the NYPD top brass, and other agencies have now covertly and effectively succeeded in invading everything you do. The fruits of this operation are being used to advance their global financial agenda and silence the opposition.

Knowing this, is it possible that the dead bodies that are increasing in number are the results of this joint surveillance operation? You will not find any answers in the mainstream media. The big banks have chosen to remain silent, even in the face of subpoenas, and have yet to face any legal consequences for their contempt. It’s not, however, merely contempt of congress or pseudo-investigative bodies. It’s their contempt of humanity, of you and me, and the victims that lie dead, leaving their families broken and wanting for the truth.

The Dueker and Talley deaths are beyond suspicious...the others could go either way, which is the hallmark of a good snuff job that needs to deflect the ignorant and warn the aware...and their respective roles in the industry indicate possible gatekeeper/asst.gatekeeper status for key global financial levers.  Certainly smells like something is in the breeze, or it could be merely warnings for other wavering insiders to toe the line or else.  Or both.  Until we can rescue a live one and question them it is all speculation, and by the time something does happen it will be too late to do anything anyway.  I would argue keeping an eye on events like this is a warning, get your own poop in a group, and be prepared to act to protect you and yours.

Sorry to hear that IDP.

Sad when people can't see past their troubles.

Sorry to say, he had it coming.

The corruption of the payday loan business has its nexus in Kansas City, and my wife's cousins are ground zero for that corruption. They are stinking rich off charging 700% insterest, and they've kept one step ahead of the regulators by getting in bed with the Indian reservations and the local Catholic diocese.

But they are recently under investigation by several agencies as well as the state of Nevada, and I assume that little brother could see the writing on the wall.

The older brother - the "godfather" of the KC payday loan industry - spent time in Leavenworth for mail fraud when he was in his 20s. He got out of prison and went right back to his nefarious ways. He defrauded my mother-in-law out of the bought-and-paid-for house she inherited from her mother, and used the money to open a bar-restaurant. He clawed his way to financial success by defrauding others, and eventually created the concept of online payday loans.

He's made tens-of-millions, but now it's cost the life of his brother, and I suspect he will once again be behind bars before too long.

Wow, that is a special kind of dirtbag...not the first time I've heard family screwing other family over, but thankfully nothing near that scale has ever happened in my family!

And  Another one. (http://www.infowars.com/28-year-old-former-jpmorgan-banker-jumps-to-his-death-latest-in-series-of-recent-suicides/)

I wish we had a baseline-- maybe 52  bankers die worldwide from suicide every year, so one a week would be normal.

I have been out of that racket for a decade now...but 1 per week still seems high to me, I don't know what the baseline would be...but anything more than a than dozen seems excessive here, sure we are talking worldwide, but people higher up the food chain.  We need better metrics though, for all industries, and weighted to some sort of apples-to-apples per capita for better cross industry comparison.  Are Dentists still number one?  I thought for sure it would be postal worker, maybe that one was for mass murder though...

That guy seems to be quite the piece of work.  And an interesting read.  I won't link to any stories as it's personal to IDP and he didn't, but it's not hard to google.  It's a pretty big deal in KC, involving corruption, Indian sovereignty, bribery, minor celebrity, and just plain old sleeze.

Oh, it's OK, but yeah, that's them. Mrs. IDP's first cousins. It's not a big secret, other than having their names searchable on this site might draw federal eyes that otherwise might not be drawn here.

But I encourage anyone who is curious to google. "Payday loan" "suicide" "Kansas City" should be all you need for keywords. Hell, you could probably leave out any one of those three and still come up with the same search result. Those guys are mobsters, and they have been in the news a lot lately.

from 2010 The 13 Careers Where You’re Most Likely To Commit Suicide  (http://www.businessinsider.com/jobs-commit-suicide-2010-10?op=1)

Suicide takes the lives of nearly 30,000 Americans every year.
 (http://www.save.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=705D5DF4-055B-F1EC-3F66462866FCB4E6)       30,000/52 weeks= 577 per week

Around 800,000 to a million people die by suicide every year, making it the 10th leading cause of death worldwide (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide)

I don't get the dentist thing.

The 3 dentists I know have thriving practices and are just great people all around. One of them is my dentist and when I go for an appointment he makes me feel like I'm the only patient he has that day.

Many people fear "the dentist" and some just hate them.  I don't, but I understand.  Though they are healers, they are also pain-dealers; if it doesn't hurt now, thanks to novacain et. al., many times it'll hurt later.  (Surgeons don't get the same bum rap, even though the job description is the same.)  I was kidding my periodontist one time about "the damage" intrinsic to any procedure; primary "damage" to the problem area, secondary damage to the palate/gums from the pain-blocking needle, tertiary damage to the corners of the mouth from the instruments themselves.  Come the evening or next day, everything is sore and tender; however, when that fades, voila! no more toothache.

My grandmother had a very low pain tolerance and hated the idea of "dentist".  At her passing, she had very few teeth left and those that she had were the rottenest I've ever seen in a human mouth.

Dentists know all this.  It must be wearing for those upon whom it weighs.

I suspect these "suicided" banker types either had a very clear view of how deep in the sht we are, or they knew something not many do.

The dentist thing reminds me of this Onion article:  Local Prostitutes Eagerly Await Dentists' Convention (http://www.theonion.com/articles/local-prostitutes-eagerly-await-dentists-conventio,431/)


Quote
"The dentists' convention is where we pull out all the stops," said Lucy Calhoun, owner of Juicy Lucy's, a popular Vegas-area brothel. "The average dentist has an unusual combination of cash and low self-esteem that makes him an ideal customer."
.
.
.
Prostitutes have long known that the average dentist, while earning almost $60,000 per year, is not generally respected by the public at large. Neither an admired craftsman nor a full-fledged member of the medical community, the dentist, more than anyone short of the chiropractor, uses conventions as an opportunity to purchase emotional gratification in the form of sex.


I think there's almost a little grain of truth in this joke.  They go through a lot of schooling just like MDs, but hardly anyone thinks of them in quite the same light.

I hate going to the dentist, not because of pain but because of the bill I get.

My wife's first cousin co-owns a payday loan company with his brother. I should say, "co-owned", since he jumped to his death a couple days ago.

Totally different situation I know, but jumping to the death seems to be in vogue these days.

It doesn’t get any more Orwellian than this: Wall Street mega banks crash the U.S. financial system in 2008. Hundreds of thousands of financial industry workers lose their jobs. Then, beginning late last year, a rash of suspicious deaths start to occur among current and former bank employees.  Next we learn that four of the Wall Street mega banks likely hold over $680 billion face amount of life insurance on their workers, payable to the banks, not the families. We ask their Federal regulator for the details of this life insurance under a Freedom of Information Act request and we’re told the information constitutes “trade secrets.”

Gee, ya think?  The NY Post link states his throat was slashed, although "Bloomberg adds that "a 42-year-old man was found unconscious yesterday in the bathtub of his Greenwich Street apartment in lower Manhattan with a neck laceration", so what is it?  Slash or bruise/scrape?

A devastating security video shows Rossi landing on the pavement on his back, facing the building — an odd position more likely to occur when a body is pushed from a window.

The footage shows the three-story fall didn’t kill Rossi instantly. For almost 20 minutes, the banker lay on the dimly lit cobblestones, occasionally moving an arm and leg.
As he lay dying, two murky figures appear. Two men appear and one walks over to gaze at the banker. He offers no aid or comfort and doesn’t call for help before turning around and calmly walking out of the alley.

About an hour later, a co-worker discovered Rossi’s body. The arms were bruised and he sustained a head wound that, according to the local medical examiner’s report, suggested there may have been a struggle prior to his fall.

But the death was ruled a suicide, to the disbelief of Rossi’s widow, Antonella Tognazzi. She was quoted in the Italian press as saying her husband “knew too much.” She staged public demonstrations and hired a lawyer to investigate her husband’s death.

Among the evidence Tognazzi pointed to was the alleged suicide note, in which Rossi referred to her as Toni. He never called her Toni, she said.
