UPDATE: Justice Department Misrepresents JP Morgan Settlement

(See Update below on this afternoon’s announcement of the settlement by JP Morgan)

Does anybody in DC tell the truth anymore?

From The Real News dot com

The settlement between JPMorgan Chase and the Justice Department has been reported at $13 billion, for charges that Chase sold toxic mortgage-backed securities that fueled the financial crisis of 2008.

The reported $13 billion amount is a misrepresentation of the actual figure by the Justice Department and has “nothing to do with mortgage-backed securities,” said former financial regulator Bill Black. [Read more…]

Did Republican Leadership Betray Its 2011 Freshmen Class?

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Sir Walter Scott

by Helen Tansey
The T-Room

Did Mike Rogers, Republican Chairman of the  House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), act alone when deciding to withhold critical information about NSA’s  bulk collection of American’s phone records from the 2011 incoming class of members of congress prior to their vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act? Was the entirety of the Republican House leadership in on the decision? It sure looks that way. [Read more…]

How Do You Take Your Poison?

by Chris Hedges

We will all swallow our cup of corporate poison. We can take it from nurse Romney, who will tell us not to whine and play the victim, or we can take it from nurse Obama, who will assure us that this hurts him even more than it hurts us, but one way or another the corporate hemlock will be shoved down our throats.

Former Financial Regulator William Black: Occupy Wall Street A Counter to White-Collar Fraud

Professor Black provides this observation about #OWS – “If you look [at the Occupy protests], not just nationwide, but worldwide, you will see some pretty consistent themes developing,” Black says. “Those themes include: we have to deal with the systemically dangerous institutions, the 20 biggest banks that the administration is saying are ticking time bombs, that as soon as one of them fails, we go back into a global crisis. We should fix that. There’s no reason to have institutions that large. That’s a theme. That accountability is a theme, that we should put these felons in prison… That we should get jobs now, and that we should deal with the foreclosure crisis. So those are four very common themes that you can see in virtually any of these protest sites… I think, over time, you won’t necessarily have some grand written agenda, but you’ll have, as I say, increasing consensus. And it’s a very broad consensus.”

AE911Truth on Canada's new TV series – "The Conspiracy Show" w/ Richard Syrret.mov

Visit AE911Truth to learn what more than 1,300 professional Architects and Engineers are saying about how the three towers, North, South and Building 7 collapsed. Why didn’t NIST investigate for explosives and/or demolition material? And why does NIST continue to refuse to test for such material?

Here is AE911Truth’s newest video demanding a “real” scientific investigation into the destruction of the North and South Towers AND Building 7. No such investigation has ever been conducted. The NIST Report that supposedly served as the governments investigation has been rejected as scientifically based by 1,300 Architects and Engineers plus countless other professionals who have arrived at the same conclusion. Why does the federal government continue to stonewall such a request?

"Getting Wise to Breitbart’s Lies": Missouri Professors Survive Right-Wing Smear Campaign by Andrew Breitbart

The T-Room is appalled by this kind of “GOTCHA” reporting that not only Brietbart is guilty, but so many others in the communications industry. Whatever happened to just reporting the facts? Oh, that’s right, silly me, I almost forgot – today’s political paradigm is designed to polarize and make people distrust and hate each other. To hell with people’s reputations and their livelihoods in the meantime!

Sock Puppets? Huh? Government Robotons v Real People – Can you tell the difference?

And from Wayne Madsen Reports

February 20-21, 2011 — Sock puppetry from the far-right in action, courtesy of the Willis Carto crowd

It is becoming clear that the right-wing is using tried and true disinformation activities and personal attacks reminiscent of historical fascist government activities.

From Carolyn Yeager Internet radio program (she is associated with Carto’s neo-Nazi “Barnes Review.”) Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose obviously have modern-day competition. Needless to say, the rhetoric in this program is too full of errors and innuendo to comment on every single issue:

Investigative Journalist, Wayne Madsen, Confirms His Life Has Been Threatened

By Helen Tansey

Many who stop by The T-Room to catch up on the latest alternative news know we have posted numerous investigative reports written by journalist, Wayne Madsen. We do this because Wayne’s work is informed by a career of learning how the US intelligence apparatus operates, because he worked in it, and because he is the only investigative journalist actually doing the job of informing the public who Barack Hussein Obama and his family truly are. His reward, having his life threatened.

Ask yourself if you ever recall a time when an American journalist’s life was threatened by his/our federal government for simply informing the people who their President is? Seriously, do you recall such circumstances?

During the 2008 campaign everyone seemed to be asking the same question – who is this guy named Obama? Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greenies, Independents…EVERYONE!

We hoped to learn who this man was, what drove him, what his values and morals were, his education, his past leadership positions and so much more, but to our astonishment, the vehicle who used to vet Presidential nominees, were having tingly sensations down their legs, hyper ventilating when Obama was nearby, girlhood like crushes and handing off other ridiculous, juvenile and pathetic dribble they called journalism.

BRICS Make Move to Shove Dollar Aside

“China and four other leading high-growth economies have taken landmark steps toward lowering the importance of the dollar in international financial transactions — part of a seminal shift in the move towards a multicurrency reserve and trading system.”

“Mind you, you wouldn’t get an idea of anything dramatic from reading the official Chinese press on the conclusion of a summit meeting of the so-called BRICS economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in the southern resort twin of Sanya in southern China last week.”
