L.I. Republican candidate for congress blew cover of bank whistle blower
OPS_admin | Jan 30, 2010 | Comments 0
Proving once again that when it comes to banks vs people, Republicans seem to be more on the side of banks, documents have emerged showing that a Long Island Republican running for the House, improperly blew the cover of a JP Morgan employee who had turned whistle blower for the government, and revealed his identity to lawyers for JP Morgan bank.
The Republican candidate, George Demos, had worked as an Enforcement Lawyer for the SEC, seeming to prove that Republican oversight of banks and brokerage houses was the proverbial fox guarding the hen house.
Documents showed that last March, the SEC’s Inspector General found that as a lawyer working for the SEC, Demos had improperly disclosed confidential information about the whistle blower and his identity to lawyers for JP Morgan Chase.
Demos’ campaign has declined to comment, an indication that they have been caught flatfooted.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
