>_^_ COMMENTARY/F.Y.I.: Trade Agreements effectively “Backwards Engineer” all City, County, State, and National Laws… rescinding any and all of a nations laws, work agreements, and environmental standards.
<>
All “Partner Nations” operate under threat of significant punitive Trade Sanction and Penalty paid to any Multinational Corp’s or Partner Country who feels their Free-Trade Profit-Rights have been violated (so much for clinging to the prudent ways of protecting critical resources and assets from exploitation, planning for the future, or just maintaining “Nostalgic Democracy” or Civilization).
<>
Free Trade gives parasitic Multinationals unequivocal free reign to colonize all Partner Countries for short-term profits and long-term resource and social decimation. “FREE (but-highly-subsidized) TRADE is an Oligarch orchestrated “Cultural Limbo Contests” to determine the people who can survive on slave rations, w/o benefit of Taxes.  The absence of funding for Civilization, Law Enforcement, Social Services, and Protections from Environmental Cataclysm is assumed to serve the pursuits of Corp’s Profit-Charter Nihilism.
<>
A Rule by Corporatocracy outcome is entirely predictable from 1913 forward.  That’s when World Oligarchs bought 40% of Congress and set-up The Federal Reserve Monopoly Money and U.S. Currency Printing Franchise.  The 1% continues to issue a “Fractional Reserve” platinum charge card and encourage deficit spending to seal the Colonization, Austerity, Privatization and Profitization deal and direct the Wall Street Casino to benefit the owners.
<>
In Late December 1913, 20 some percent of the Lawmakers had gone home for Christmas Break when that Tyrannical Fed Law passed, Institutionalizing American Serfdom.  The 1% Rich have owned U.s & led U.s to War for conquest and profit ever since.  They just have to create new demons for dominionist blind-believers to hate.
1% B.F.s Ruffle-the-Red-Cape, and pledgeiplegic patridiot gun-slinging habituated Fools-Rush-In.  The 1% eats steak.

Clinton Administration Whistleblower, Bank Regulator Speaks Out ::
KEATING 5 SENATORS Confronted; “…they do a 180 when they come in.  And they move completely away from the things that work against fraud.  And they move completely to the things we warned …produce a criminogenic environment, that produces wide scale fraud; (min 3:10} George Akerlof (Economist, Professor U. CA) & Paul Romer (Economist, Professor at Stern, NY) … ‘deregulation was bound to produce looting’ …They Supply that theory in 1993.  So this is exactly the time when the new administration comes in.
Clinton Administration’s Actions to deregulate Banks include:
1.)  {min 4:12}  "Get rid of underwriting requirements... that's the worst possible thing.  That's what makes possible the 'Liars Loans'...that's right after our success in 1990 and 1991 in cleansing the industry of 'Liars loans'" ::
2.)  {min 4:48}  "They come and they instruct us… that we are to refer to the Banks and the Savings & Loans as our ‘Customers’ …we the ‘Regulators’; and we are to think of the Banks and the Savings & Loans as our ‘Customers,’ and we are to think of how we can provide ‘Service.’  Those are all direct quotations." ::
3.)  {min 5:25}  "They ‘Closed Down’ the prosecutions of Savings and Loan Frauds (from POTUS Reagan's administration). …But that pipeline was still going.  …would have been thousands of additional convictions, but the Clinton Administration took away the FBI Agents and most of the prosecutors… :: Bob Stone’s advise to (V.P.) Al Gore… “Don’t waste one second worrying about fraud, waste, and abuse” :: Insider book about it by ”Bob Stone, ‘Confessions of a Public Servant’ (2002hc & 2004sc)…”::
Reasoning… “To crack down on fraud is to limit innovation” ::
<>
“Remains in the Obama Administration” :: “The (W.) Bush Administration produced the most criminogenic environment in history for this wide scale fraud.”:: “Alan Greenspan is going around giving his favorite stump speech as a Chairman of the Federal Reserve …which the lesson of it also is ‘don’t worry about fraud.  Fraud takes care of itself.  And that comes from Chicago-School Economists, or actually Law and Econ folks …who actually didn’t have degrees in economics …Frank H. Easterbrook (U. Chicago Law, Judge in 7th Circuit), and Paschal.  Paschal eventually becomes Dean of the Univ. Chicago Law School.  Easterbrook 7th Circuit Jurist, a former U. Chicago Law professor.  And their famous line is… ‘A rule against fraud is not necessary or even particularly important’ in the securities context.  Now they’re coming from the side that markets instantly and reliably remove all fraud… just enthrall to the private industry.  …They are nastier by far than Ronald Reagan in describing the Federal Government.  In particular, they love all the things about the private sector that were building up to produce one fraud epidemic after another” ::
<>
Obama Administration …“a strong embrace of the culture” ::
“…loved ‘Performance Pay’ …creates both the incentive to loot and method to loot through a seemingly normal corporate mechanism that makes it far harder to prosecute.”

Derivatives are risky Gaming Financial Instruments that are highly levered ...essentially no capital required to back them up (pay off), by law.  When the Insurance and Bank Corps fail, tax payers bail them out or risk severe and prolonged economic depressions. ::
Their exemption from regulation requires a Repeal of the "Securities Modernization Act of 1999" and a return to the Glass-Steagall Act 1933/Banking Act 1935, that worked well for 65 years; Derivatives are bets on bets on bets on bets ...on the stock prices of financial instruments subject to interest rate fluctuations. ::

U.S. Legislative, Law-Economics-Financial System-08666FUS01B, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-*MA) ::
What Glass-Steagall (1933) did is really important.  It passed back in 1933. It created a great era of stability in banking.  It separated out the part of the bank where you deposit your money from the part of the bank where they do investment banking and …they (bankers) invest their own money.  Or you can say they (bankers) gamble with their own money. 
The reason you separate that out is because you don’t want them gambling with your money. …because the down side is for you and the up side is for them.” ::
“So now when we took Glass-Steagall away, at the end of Bill Clinton’s term by the way (1999), it wound up being an absolute disaster. ::
“Every CNBC Anchor is a lapdog for the banks.” ~ Cenk Uygur
(min 05:28) “But what Glass-Steagall can do is it can wind some more of the risk out of the system.  It can help bring down the size of the largest banking institutions …Now here we are in 2013 and the Big 4 are 30% bigger.  That puts too much risk back in the system.” ::
About passing the bill to re-regulate the Fed hog banks “Let me put for you this way… if you don’t fight for it the chances are zero.” ~ Sen. Warren

"Consumers Union reported that wire to wire competition, ...did not foster competition among ILECs as the bill had hoped."
"...claimed to foster competition. ...historic industry consolidation reducing the number of major media companies from around 50 in 1983 to 10 in 1996 ...6 in 2005. ...FCC study found that the Act had led to a drastic decline in the number of radio station owners, ...(while the) number of commercial stations in the United States had increased"
"...Ralph Nader argued the act was an example of corporate welfare spawned by political corruption..."
<>
"Later Criticism" (Section)
"....Warren J. Sirota criticized the media's coverage ...noted that the balance of the Act would "shape our future" by eliminating "barriers between the industry's segments, e.g., local and long-distance services, broadcast and cable television, etc."
"...highlights include: Deregulation of most cable TV rates by 1999...End ...FCC partial ban on broadcast networks owning cable systems... Eases one-to-a-market rule to allow ownership of TV and radio combos... in the top 50 markets."
"… defunct Kill Your Television website...criticism of the law ...wrote: …the business is about to get bigger...Mergers, takeovers and acquisitions are becoming the norm in the television industry. The new law has stripped down the television ownership rules ...big media players …can be more aggressive in buying out smaller stations."
Howard Zinn:  "In the 2003 edition of his book, A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn wrote about alternative media ...trying the break the corporate control of information. ...Act of 1996: "...enabled the handful of corporations dominating the airwaves to expand their power further. Mergers enabled tighter ...control of information... The Latin American writer Eduardo Galeano commented... "Never have so many been held incommunicado by so few."
