Merrill Lynch to Lone Star-- and the money game

When the $30 billion of securities were sold to Lone Star, for 22 cents on the dollar, the world was shown something totally frightening. The system is gone. The paper is getting devalued and being passed around and around. Does that change anything? They speculate and pay 22-cents on the dollar.

They are just betting if they can get the government will bail them out. By the way, Lone Star has been accused of various crimes in its speculative deals in Korea.

Naked Short Selling targeted by SEC

Yes, it's 30 days in the hole for naked short selling. This is a breakthrough of sorts, and will help 19 financials, like Freddie Mae, Fannie Mac, Lehman Bros, and Morgan Chase, not to mention UBS. The point is we got to get back to regulation now. Here is an interesting pose from the Paul Weiss law firm. And then, of course, we need to raise interest rates, like LaRouche says to 4-percent at least, and to implement the 2-tier credit proposal. That is 1-2-percent credit to needed infrastructure projects, through a national bank Alex Hamilton, FDR type mechanism. And yes, the paying of rent, instead of bankrupt mortgages, to stop the fall of the housing bubble, to the banks.

Hey Indy Mac- You Ain't a Coming Back!

Indy, Indy hey Indy Mac,
You ain't a coming back;
Mortgage, tell me mortgage,
your mortgage's going bad;
That's not the worse you had;
Hey now Indy!

With the collapse of the California-based Indy Mac. It was taken over by the FDIC. The soft landing is over, the party is over, time to get a bankruptcy reorganization and save the people. Also, note that this was a hard landing, a crash, not a semi-disguised crash like the Bank of America takeover of Countrywide and the Chase takeover of Bear Stearns. And this is a big one, at $32 billion in assets, the first or second biggest bank to collapse-- ever.

Some Great Blogs on the British Empire

Most of the blog talk is about the history of the British Empire, but the problem is the British Empire still exists as the Commonwealth, and as the offshore financial system based in London. About India see this one. It's something about a book about Dickie Mountbatten, the British Viceroy of India. After all, Empire is the ultimate real estate game.

Stem Cell Research and C'elle Stem Cells

The possibilities of harvesting women's menstrual blood for medical uses are incredible. Imagine, getting stem cells, without the problems of fetuses beng used as a stem cell source. Read the press release to learn more:


OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind -- especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body -- in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

"C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way," said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. "We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings."

carried this press release, along with other media. The key advantage of the C'elle stem cell is the ease of harvesting. This is much easier than taking stem cells from the bone marrow. The menstrual cells are harvested and put in a special container by the woman, and then shipped via Fedex and cryogenically, that is at a super low temperature, stored for future use.

It may take a fairly long period before therapies for the stored C'elle stem cells are available. This is still a matter of intensive research. Heart disease research, diabetes and nerve degenerative diseases are possible diseases that could be treated in the future by therapies using stem cells.

You can also store stem cells for other members in your family, including parents, your brothers and your sisters. You may have Alzheimer disease, or heart disease running in your family. These stem cells are in the future, and they could potentially cure all sorts of illnesses, including genetic ones. An annual stem cells plan, one-time, costs $699, plus after the first year, a $99 per year for storing the stem cells in a cryogenic manner.

C'elle stem cells are a variety of adult stem cells. Adult stem cells have already been used for therapies after a stroke. Many therapies are being developed. It is hard to say what therapies will be available in the future. Since a woman stops menstruating by about 45-50 years old, this decision to save adult stem cells from menstrual blood needs to be made in advance. Planning ahead is essential in this matter, because when faced with a medical crisis, it may be difficult or impossible to get stem cells that are family related, and have no danger, or low danger of being rejected by the body in which they are used. So plan ahead by getting the stem cells you are your loved ones may need as soon as you can.

Peter the Cheater Having Fun, while Real estate goes down

Peter Cook, aka, Peter the Cheater is having fun, while the real estate market continues to crash in the Hamptons. Luckily, we have the distraction of watching him seduce borderline jail-bait (18 year old) girls. I have trouble having sympathy for former model Christine Brinkley, I guess it must be tough to have it so public. But, didn't she ask for the trial to be public? Crazy.

Anyway, the Sag Harbor and Hamptons real estate, in the Peter and Christine playground is crashing. Lots of million dollar and multi-million dollar houses were bought using exotic, Adjustable Rate mortgages (Arms). Now the buyers are losing their houses, and their ARMs.
