    Whither It Comes, Whence it goes

    Over the last two years the radical right has increasingly turned to a new funding source, to pay for it's policies of terror and greed both at home and abroad. The source is Wall Street. This is a serious accusation of potential criminal misconduct, which on the surface sounds improbable; but, consider the facts.

    If one looks at the stock market prices on Wall Street since the inception two characteristics stand out. First, stock prices and the overall market fluctuations are a discontinuous phenomenon. Second, the discontinuous fluctuations manifest themselves in nonlinear forms. A look at any time frame on any chronological scale will readily verify this observation: with one exception.

    During the last two years from Dec.'96 to Sept'97 the stock market suddenly started behaving linearly in one way. The phenonenon is most clearly visible when one looks at a linear graph of market activity over the last 25 years. Approximately every quarter the market would take a dive of about 50 points, and then, correct itself to the preceding levels and progress from there. The dive of early Sept'97 was exceptional in it's severity, and represented an attempt to gain more money for those involved and camouflage the unprecedented market activity, because questions were starting to be asked. How could the stock markdet fall for the excuses provided? In the Sept.'97 dive, it was claimed that the market fell because of the computer's response to a strong dollar. This does not make any sense. First, money's value is determined by derived demand, and everyone knew about the factors leading to a strong dollar. Second, it was not even new news, all the market participants knew of the sustained strength of the dollar. This is not like the re-adjustment by a government of a major currency, there was no reason for the computers to take a dive. Third, the current market is commited to foreign investment. It recommends the private investor invest as much as 1\5 of their portfolio in foreign funds. A strong dollar helps increase purchasing power abroad thus aids in investing in foreign companies- if anything this news should have caused stock prices to increase. Fourth, concern that a strong dollar would hurt American corporations' sells in foreign markets and at home by making imports cheaper, was not valid in current market realities. The multi-nationals like the S&P 500 either have direct manufacturring facilities or subcontract with factories abroad, which means that those corporations would be able to sell their goods manufactured abroad without any negative impact. Their foreign made goods would serve as imports, not suprising because that's what they are, and would not negatively impact sales in our domestic market. Fifth, a strong dollar provides business with a great opportunity to imporve manufacturing facilities abroad which would stregthen their position for future profits. In short, there was no reason for stock market to have taken the dive!

    Now, after looking a little more closely at the stock market dive of early Sept.'97 let's look more generally at two other stock market dives from '97, and see if they seem valid. The next previous market dive was at the end of June, and it supposedly fell because the computers reacted negatively to information from the FED. But, the information it was reacting to was over 6 months old, and computers that regulate trade on Wall Street don't react to 6 month old news, nor do they take 6 months to respond to news. The excuse given for the stock market dive was as ridiculous as the first example cited. The stock market dive antecedent to the above mentioned two was subline because of it's absurdity. The computers took a dive, we were told, because of good economic news! Computer generated trading may fall for a variety of reasons, but not from good economic news.

    Having made the above observations an obvious question should come to mind. "All this is well and good, but how can any set of factional interests pull such a thing off?" The first step in this inquiry is to conduct a feasibility study using computer models. Not your P.C. at home, but the large main frame ones who can successfully conduct such a study in sufficient detail. The second step is to look at the current market participants for a profile that would lend itself to this kind of activity and see if any group with such a profile could be capable of such large scale leveraging, to catalyze the necessary market dynamics involved. The third step is to evaluate current computer trading and market management practices, to provide a reality check on our computer's feasibility study. The fourth step is to examine motivational factors. Every crime has to have a motive, and what are they in this case? In testing our working hypothesis stated in the form of the question 'how', all four steps raised must be satisfactorily answered, in order to warrant our conclusion.

    The computer feasibility model is the easiest step. In conducting the computer studies you will find a critical point that depends on variable factors, which when reached will trigger the computer trading pattern previously described. Actually this can easily be confirmed by just checking existing computer programs to see what sets of factors (scenarios) illicit a general sell response from the computers. Obviously they exist, or we wouldn't have observed the computer generated preceipitious declines.

    Before preceding further it must be clearly understood what our purpose here is. It is up to the proper authorities to accuse the culpable parties and administer the law after all considerations of due process have been upheld. We are not in pursuit of people, we are in pursuit of truth. But, to quote a roman proverb, "who watches the watchdog?".

    A cursory evaluation of current market participatnts is not very helpful, because any number of combined parties, so long as their assets are sufficiently large in the aggregate, could qualify as the cause of this unprecedented market phenomenon. The initiators of computer trading events are difficult to detect. This seeming impasse can only be overcome by making a background check on current market participants for a profile which would lend itself to this kind of manipulative market behavior, and integrating it with an analysis of the recent historical context of the stock market. Unfortunately, to even highlight the salient points will require some detailed development. And, because our purpose is to follow the truth wherever it leads, as well as being fair to all participants involved; we must be careful to adequately cover the ground, in testing our hypothesis.

    The historical context is particalarly important in fully understanding the linear phenomenon that the stock market manifested in this two year time frame. First, there was, in the 80's and early 90's, an unprecedented peace time build up of the US military, which poured approximately five trillion dollars into the coffers of the industrial-military, and created negative perturbations in the US economy. Simultaneous with this we saw the massive infusion of radical right wing elements into the intelliggence agencies i.e. CIA, FBI, and various military intelligence organizations, as Ronald Reagon kept his promise to certain radical right wing groups, for their help in getting him elected. The results soon began to manifest themselves. The Iran-Contra hearing sadly shocked the nation, where it was clearly proven that the radical right had established private funding sources in part to conduct an illegal war in Central America, one expressly forbidden by Congress. They waged war independent of any government control under a cloak of secrecy, which they called deniability for the president. They gathered in one million a month from Saudi Arabia, and much more from a lucrative cocaine running operation which involved even the head of a country Noriega, the president of Panama. How much money was never assessed let alone accounted for, nor where it all went. What was established was scandalous enough, it showed the radical right as a independent and fully funded, coordinated and corrupt organization, with links to weapons dealers, and international terrorists throughout the world. Second, another Congressional investigation, under the ensuing Democratic administration, revealed that not only was the Republican administration of Reagon and Bush the most corrupt in the history of the United States of America, but the CIA even killed its own field agents in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union replacing them with hand picked agents who deliberately provided misinformation, which was passed on to Congress, about the regions economics and military capacities. The result was to provide an excuse for the unprecedented bloated military budgets.

    Now what happened to the five trillion dollars!?! Knowing as they did of the impending collapse of the Soviet Union and the invevitable end of excessive military budgets, the industrial military diversified into portfolio investments, with particular emphasis on establishing or taking over existing mutual funds, the insurance industry and media. Concurrent with this was the establishment of or taking over existing mutual funds, the insurance industry and media. Concurrent with this was the establishment of a repressive populist movement, with a fanatical religious element which cut its teeth during the Republican Presidency, of Richd Nixon, to divert public opinion, and establish a political power base. It is no surpise that within a few years the radical right was in position to replace its missing military money with the even more lucrative privatization of entitlement scams. Instead of medicaid they wanted to provide an inferior health care system based on HMO's. They did this in two steps. First, they raised the physician's insurance rates on malpractice to unaffordable levels herding them into insurance owned HMO's. The patients had to follow the doctors. Second, after establishing this inferior health care system based on corporate profits as opposed to people's needs, then, came the assault on medicaid and all the profits that taking over that portion of the health care market would entail. It represented welfare for the factional interests of the radical right.

    The Social Security Program was the other target of thier two tiered objectives. It is important enough to warrant close scruntity. The factional interests of the radical right figured that if they can get people to have to invest in their mutual funds, instead of Social Security, then obviously their investments will appreciate in value. Once again welfare for the factional interests of the radical right at everyone else's expense. Clearly what is being attempted is to substitute the loss in military spending revenues of the cold war era. The latest scams would be much more profitable too.

    Their factional interest greed knows no boundaries, as avariciously they have decided to 'Think Globally'. If thier self-serving economic scams would be profitable in the US market. How much more could it be if it included Europe, Canada, and the rest of the World? And so attempts are being made to peddle their programs around the globe regarless of negative consequences. That is why well funded separatist movements have suddenly sprund up in Quebec and British Columbia. That is why Scotland and Whales were suddenly confronted with well funded, politically professional separist movements. The idea is one based on a cliche, 'divide and conquer'. And, the smaller the political unit, the less money is necessary to produce political outcomes conductive to the factional interests of the international radical right. Conveniently overlooked is the fact that the conducting of foreign affairs by private parties is a capital offense according to the US constitution. Other parts of the World received other types of attention, all however, shared one objective: the destablization of existing political regimes in order to existing political regimes in order to replace them with ones under the stewardship of the radical right. The rise of the political right in Poland is one example of the American right providing its expertise in a less overt form. They have also provided computer technological consultations to France's previous premier as well as the British labor party both of whom have tried to redirected their country's public along lines more compatible with the factional interest of the radical right. In those countries, as in America, the shaping of Public opinion continues. There are violently covert activities that the radical right engages in as well.

    The third step is to evaluate computer market trading and market managemnet techniques. Currently stock market funds are extremely competitive in terms of yields to the investor. If you're managing a fund and it doesn't produce, you're fired. This causes fund managers to have their computers-programmed to be very sensitive to market developments. A practice which if market wide, and it is, would help produce greater market volatility, which would help the market manipulation scenario depicted.

    How does one pay for the politics of terrorism and political intrigue both at home and abroad? Previously, we established the feasibility of stock market manipulation, and an analysis of current market participants coupled with a review of the historical context has led to conclude that the Amnerican Radical Right has the correct profile to be our primary suspect. But, with military spending down and the cocaine and heroin trades severely curtailed, is the stock market manipulation money enough to pay for the huge cash flow requirments involved? Gnetle readers you have been kind enough to read this far, please bear with two very important digressions before the answer to the question is demonstrated.

    The first digression is in American political funding. Two years ago, in American politics, the radical right wing dominated Republican party campaigned on a platform calling, in part, for campaign spending reform and then proceeded to propose various legislation only to let it suddenly let them all die. The most recent attempt was the McCain-Feingold bill, which was voted down by the Republiican Senators almost unanimously with only two exceptions. The vote shows how thoroughly dominant the radical right is in the Republican party. Also, consider the fact that all serious Republican Presidential candidates have had to recieve the blessings of the so called religious branch of the radical right, since the Presidency of Richard Nixon. During the same two year period, we saw Republican Candidates and party coffers magically fill with two types of contributions: first the usual big corporations, PACs and individuals: second with small $250 or less contributions which don't have to be tracked; but, consider, to raise $100,000 all they have to do is have 200 couples each provide $500 ($250 per person). These couples could theoretically contribute to countless numbers of campaignes, so long as they didn't declare any over the $1000 per individual limit, and this type of funding would be particularly effective in the rural areas where the radical right dominated Republicans have faired so well recently.

    The second and last digression is terrorism. Internationally terrorist attacks are all strikingly similar. North Africa has been a target of the radical right since Republican president Reagon's administration, when ironically, the US attacked Lybia's presidential palace with a squad of fighters firing air to ground missiles in retaliation to a terrorist attack. Recently, in Algeria, what about the bribed military commander who didn't show up when the community his garrison was supposed to protect was suddenly attacked by knife wielding religioius fanatics who slit the people's throats after screaming and kicking in their doors. It's not as if it couldn't be heard. Do you think the poor peasant terrorists had the kind of money to bribe a base commander? Who do you think paid for this, Communists?

    Who is the dominant force in Middle East and North Africa 7today? Who do you think recruits, trains, organizes and pays for all terrorist attacks? Who has established links stretching back 17 years?

    During Republican President Reagon's administration, at the conclusion of the cold war era, the CIA established Hamas. It was a covert operation designed to bolster the radical rights, i.e. the CIA's sagging influence in the region. Without the Communist threat there was no longer any need for a pronounced CIA presence in the Middle East. From Hamas it was easy to fragment and proliferate into national terrorist groups, lists were made and terrorist training manuals written. Afghanistan's war of liberation provided the radical right dominated CIA with access to potential terrorists and fighting groups in that region of the world including Pakistan and Kashmir. None of the countries in the Middle East are that big, either geographically, or in terms of population, and the number of those people susceptible to become terrorists are fairly small. When one considers the radical right dominated CIA has had a commitment to infiltrate all terrorist organizations, and to be a dominant player in each country, and an operations budget of between 2 or 3 million per annum per country. The CIA's annual operations budget during the Republican administrations was either four or six billion per year depending on whether one factors their additional funding, which if averaged over the total number of countries in the world equals the two or three million per year figure or 24 or 36 million per country for the time frame in question. The amazingly similar patters of terrorist activities throughout the Near East is predictable. Remember the CIA during this time frame had additional independent funding sources and was operating independently under the doctrine of providing the president with deniablility. The results in the news speak eloquently for themselves. Bombs exploding in Pakistan, Egypt, Algeria, Israel and even France. Assassinations by unstable individuals occured in Israel and Egypt, in the later case the assassin was released from custody by three bribed officials. Where did the money come from? In Afghanistan bribes were mysteriously provided to ethnic leaders of a strategic town to switch sides and give the town to the religious fanatics of the South. Where in poverty stricken Afghanistan is the river of money coming from to pay the bribes and spill the blood? Around the world, in Southern Mexico, an American radical religious leader admitted in a newspaper interview that they armed the Indian insurrectionists. Later the same poverty stricken natives had ample money to pay for busses to transport them in mass to the capital for a demonstration. Where did the money come from? The arms were brought from the Iran-Contra groups in Guatemala. What obvious links does this represent?

    On the domestic front we have seen the spying practices of the cold war era come home to roost. Thirty years of brainwashing and mind control technologies were applied to its private citizens, techniques implemented by the radical right. Squads of paid field operatives travel the country. Their role is twofold. First, they are political activists and form a base of support to further the economic interests of the factional radical right. Second, they are paid to implement a repressive social agenda designed to erode our right's and liberties. They receive untaxed income for being pimps, prostitiutes, house breakers, electronic peeping toms, vandals, gang leaders, narcs, high tech rapists, perverts, and murders. They receive pay, travel stipends, hardship duty bonuses, and bounties for every person they set up and destroy. They also get a percentage of the take for each person they recruit's activities-they've become the Amway of terrorists. Now that this is coming to light it's not a coincidence that the IRS is under attack by who? You guessed it, the radical right dominated Republican party. The amount of money to pay for this is huge, but not as huge as the stakes being played for!

    Now to answer the question previously asked. Would the stock market manipulations be sufficient to pay for a large portion of this? Consider the following example. If a person buys 1,000 shares of a stock that has fallen say 20 pts, and then the market recovers to its preceding level that person would make $20,000. Now think about how much money one could make if they sold short and had billions to re-invest. Remember they've just made $5 trillion under very questionable circumstances. The scam works like this, activate the general selling patterns by short selling to trigger a stock market dive. Having sold while the market was high they wait until the computer programs kick in to realize the potential profits that the undervalued stocks now represent, and then they buy. Now they own considerably more stocks than before. The market corrects itself and returns the pre-dive level. All you have to do is wait for the infusion of more money from gambling, from retirement programs, from private individuals and from a variety of other places and gradually sell off whatever portion of the extra stocks is necessary to meet your cash flow needs. If they had only a paltry one billion dollars to invest broadly over the entire stock market and then the market rose 192 points, how much money would they stand to make? There is only one catch, to make the scam work they have to have large infusions of money over relatively short periods of time, i.e. months. Otherwise when they try to sell their stocks the prices will fall and so will their profits.

    There is a built in impetus to keep this scam secret. Anyone who stumbles across it will likely be a player in the market and realize the tremendous potential to make a fortune. Specially if you don't realize the political ramifications, which adversely affect us all by destroying our democratic institutions and the freedoms they protect. Money is power and power is the greatest corrupter known to man. Even under the pretext of doing it for an emotional excuse, like children, and backed by a propaganda campaign (remember the third area of initial radical right investments-media) designed to divert and shape public opinion.

    During the last two years we have witnessed the illegal manipulation of the stock market by the radical right. We documented the unprecedented linear phenomenon noting the ridiculous excuses that were given for the stock market dives. We then established the feasilibility of manipulation dives by computer models. We determined by establishing the profile and analyzing the recent historical contest that the factional interests of the raidcal right were the primary suspect. We conducted a reality check of our computer feasability studies, by assessing current computer trading and management practices, which clearly showed their vulnerability to this sort of abuse. And, we established a multi-billion dollar motive. Now you citizens have to determine whether you wish to sacrafice your medicaid and social security to finance these kinds of murderous scams. The radical right's method of operation is one based on "illusion and deceit", which is obviously incompatible with a healty democracy: here then, is the truth!


    THE RICH RADICAL RELIGOUS RIGHT

    Where did they suddenly get their money, and how are they spending it?

    It is said of a man named Jesus
    that he became so incensed,
    upon finding financers
    setting up shop within the temple walls,
    that he tore down their stalls
    and threw them out!
    Perhaps he knew how gold,
    while malleable and beautiful
    and impervious to rust,
    devours men's hearts
    and bankrupts their souls.


    INFAMY

    What are you up to you self-righteous,
    pseudo-religious hypocrites?
    What family affairs are you trying to contrive?
    Whose creating the filthy little itch
    and who are you nastily trying to get
    to scratch it, a mother-in-law no less?
    What foul deeds are they up to now,
    playing the pimp for their children
    and grandchildren, turning them into
    their willing little whores?
    Have they any idea, even yet,
    how great their sins are?
    All the tears ever shed in shame,
    could never cleans their putrid souls.
    All the rivers and all the seas
    could never make their stains come clean.
    What worse misdeeds can they commit,
    that they haven't already done?
    People so systematically corrupted, evil and sick
    are capable of "Whatever it takes".
    I know they've tried to foul me
    with their indecent behavior
    and frankly, they can go fuck themselves.
    No, that too would be an improvement.


    PROPHETIC VISION

    I am forty-seven years old, and every day I travel
    around town, I buy my groceries from the market,
    my clothes from the shopping malls, I drive my car
    over the bridges and down the streets until all ways
    are as familiar to me as my own face.

    One morning my trunk was heavy with provisions.
    People were busy in the stores, the roads crowded with
    traffic; the Earth's breast trembled with Summer's long
    grass.

    Suddenly the thin light was razor sharp, and the air
    was filed with cold dread.

    My mind's eye saw, as though the morning mists had
    risen sleepy eyed from its bed and vanished above the river,
    monstrous tyranny standing before me. It was a vile beast
    with many eyes, which it used to pry into several places
    like the privacy of our bedrooms, and many ears,
    which were all long like an asses. It had a wicked smile
    and many other parts to indecent to mention.
