You were right' No. This isn't really a victory for conspiracy theorists. All the article really exposes is run-away greed. There have always been people "conspiring" with each other to make a buck at other people's expense. The real conspiracy theories you all get so worked up about are more about control and the new world order. You like to claim that everything that happens is a part of some intricate plan to rule the world and a movement towards total global domination. Well, guess what. Greed is their real motivation, and they already rule the world. Peak Oil, Peak Civilization, Peak EVERYTHING People who don't believe in peak oil fall into 3 categories: Uninformed. In denial. Too stupid to understand it. Which one are you? |

I don't trust ANY form of MSM, and Rolling Stone is certainly MSM for stupid fucking sheep. Too little too late poser rag. |

You were right' anyone care to explain this in laymen termns? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22611250 I've never heard of the Libor situation, but i do understand the fundamentals of what the article is talking about. Who borrows the money they speak of, and what is it borrow for? my guess would be infrastructure? and legal corporations? like cities, investment groups?, and they use tactics to shift money around into a black hole? I don't know all of it either but yes, hedgers and governments can use interest rate swaps to shift around their debts and make things look pretty on paper. They are all derivatives and as such, really just speculation. This article talks about ISDAfix which is a number similar to LIBOR but used for interest rate swaps: [link to en.wikipedia.org] I wish I had more info but overall it's a mess. here is a nice quote from the first page Though the jumble of financial acronyms sounds like gibberish to the layperson, the fact that there may now be price-fixing scandals involving both Libor and ISDAfix suggests a single, giant mushrooming conspiracy of collusion and price-fixing hovering under the ostensibly competitive veneer of Wall Street culture.

You were right' Great Article Thanks. A good comment from Richard "Assuming bankers would ever ALLOW themselves to be prosecuted. No, the legal system is owned by them, in the same vein that the Fed itself was not written into law by law-makers, but by bankers. We really need to think outside the box to right a wrong so big. |

The names such as rolling stone and rolling rock with the 33 connotation are words for upheaveal and reversal for the rock of the church St. Peter. The spin is a damage control mode. It is a common practice for the dark ones to agree with those seeking truth in the light to maintain a compromised position even if there are less seeds of doubt. A prime example was what Baruch and Churchill did to the Graham ministry. |

You were right' Famously, one Barclays trader monkeyed with Libor submissions in exchange for a bottle of Bollinger champagne, but in some cases, it was even lamer than that. This is from an exchange between a trader and a Libor submitter at the Royal Bank of Scotland: Quoting: Brisketball SWISS FRANC TRADER: can u put 6m swiss libor in low pls?... PRIMARY SUBMITTER: Whats it worth SWSISS FRANC TRADER: ive got some sushi rolls from yesterday?... PRIMARY SUBMITTER: ok low 6m, just for u SWISS FRANC TRADER: wooooooohooooooo. . . thatd be awesome Screwing around with world interest rates that affect billions of people in exchange for day-old sushi – it's hard to imagine an image that better captures the moral insanity of the modern financial-services sector. Err, that little exchange - should it be real - would definitely be dry humor or code. If you actually believe they were doing it for actual real day old sushi, then I have nothing to say. |

Do we want to go down that path shill? I am not one who likes to go off topic of the thread's intent. How do you know I am referring to a beer company? That's an assumption on your part. Lets' make an agreement here. You stop shilling, and we'll stay on task with the Rollingstone article. Salt knows what I am talking about, and my guess is you are here to run interference. |

Matt Taibbi was all over Libor and it comes with good reason that he knows what is up. I will continue to read what he publishes whether it's posted in Rolling Stone, Glamour, USA Today, or on some shitty Blogspot blog. The kid is smart and he knows a lot more than I do. |
