Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Reboot

Former U.S. President, Bill Clinton and current President, Barack Obama

Former President, Bill "Bubba" Clinton, is insisting there is a "vast, right wing conspiracy" out to get newly elected, Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, much like the one his wife, Hillary Clinton, insisted was plotting to destroy him, while he was the Head of State.

I don't doubt members of the right are out to get Obama and want to see him brought down (looks at Rush "I Want Obama To Fail" Limbaugh) but there have also been vast, left wing conspiracies as well, designed to destroy people opposed to their views.

Barack Obama to Michelle Obama: Oh no she didn't! Is Hillary wearing the same dress you're wearing!

Therefore, it is a two way street. Such conspiracies also exist in Corporate America. The end result of that madness was the 2008 financial crisis.

Enough with the conspiracies, already. They benefit no one in the end, as people do reap what they sow in life. God promises it. What you'll end up with is an injured party and a guilty party God punishes for being a victimizer.

Bill Clinton Speaks Of vast, Right-Wing Conspiracy

September 27, 2009 - Bill Clinton says a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Barack Obama.

The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago. Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.

Bill Clinton was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: "You bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was."

Clinton said that this time around, the focus is on Obama and "their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail."

Liquidators Hunting Madoff's Millions

Thus far, $1.5 billion dollars has been recovered in the Bernard Madoff case. However, a duo of liquidators is still after Bernard Madoff's millions, in the fallout of the largest ponzi scheme in history.

The liquidators contend there are millions more in hidden assets, belonging to investors that needs to be reclaimed.

Ruth and Bernard Madoff

Madoff's family is breaking the law in keeping many millions in funds stolen from investors. This is referred to as the legal term "Fraudulent Transfers."

The Madoff family is sitting on at least $200,000,000. This money has been used to buy homes and live lavishly at defrauded investors' expense.

Ruth Madoff

Ironically, one of Madoff's sons has the unmitigated gall to claim the family is owed $90,000,000 from Madoff's company.

Madoff's brother, his sons and niece, put very little investment capital into the business, yet reaped hundreds of millions in returns.

This should automatically qualify them for prison, as who makes that kind of return working at and investing in a business, later unmasked as a ponzi scheme, when they placed so little money into it to begin with.

One of the liquidators' poignantly stated, "If you were those sons and you knew what you knew today, wouldn't you be embarrassed to keep that money. They should give it all back. If they don't give it all back, I think we have an obligation to go get it and take it all back." Indeed.

You need to remember who their dad is - Bernard Madoff. They don't have a conscience or they could not have done this in the first place.

The liquidators are also going after two Madoff investors believed to be in on the scheme, as they took out far more than they put into his company.

An investor named Mr. Picower took $5 billion out of the ponzi scheme and another referred to as Mr. Chase reaped $1 billion.

Under a "Claw Back" clause, the liquidator is entitled to seizing that money. However, there is still $18 billion unaccounted for, which the liquidators believe is hidden somewhere.

As for Madoff's wife, Ruth, who managed his business and personal accounts and spent investor money like it was water, she had to have been aware of the financial discrepancies.

Madoff's homes, boats and all his worldly possessions, down to his mattress, was seized by the federal government, with auctions underway. The liquidation is expected to fetch $50 million dollars.

Ruth Madoff was allowed to keep $2.5 million in stolen funds that came from fleecing investors. However, she has been sued, is currently paying out that money in legal fees and is now in bankruptcy.

She is required to check with the court, when spending anything above $100. In short, she is financially ruined, but her children and brother-in-law are not. However, the liquidators intend to change that, bankrupting them if necessary to get every penny back.

Ponzi schemers and financial fraudsters beware, as this is your future as well.

Trustee Plans to Sue Madoff Family Members for $198 Million

Published: September 27, 2009 - Irving H. Picard, the court-appointed trustee hunting down any remaining spoils of Bernard L. Madoff’s giant Ponzi scheme, plans to sue Mr. Madoff’s two sons, his niece and his brother this week, seeking the return of $198 million....

Mr. Madoff’s sons Mark and Andrew, his brother Peter and niece Shana all were executives with his firm and should have known about the $65 billion fraud that went on for more than 20 years, Mr. Sheehan said.

“Whether or not they have a criminal problem we will pursue them as far as we can pursue them,” Mr. Picard. “And if that leads to bankrupting them, then that’s what will happen.”

Both Mark and Andrew, who have maintained their innocence, are trying to get $90 million they say is owed to them by the their father’s company...

Michael Jackson And Racism

In recently released interviews from eight years ago, Michael Jackson stated his family was subjected to racism that greatly upset him:

Michael Jackson: My mother - she was pulling out of the market, right, it was a block from my house in Encino and she was in her Mercedes. And this white guy in a car screams out to her, "Go back to Africa, you n***ger." Just like that. It hurt me so much that that happened to be mother. Or stories of my brothers in their Rolls-Royces, you know, get out of the car, lock the door, when they come back to the car they would find a key, some guy walked by and scrape off all the paint.

Shmuley Boteach: 'Cause it was a black man driving it?

Michael Jackson: A black man driving a Rolls Royce, you know. I just hate anything to do with because the color of a person's skin had nothing to do with the content of their character.

In addition to accusing the press of racism, Jackson divulges painful stories about the ugly overtones of race that hovered over his family, long after he became a superstar.

In other news, Michael Jackson could not stand his reflection and thought he looked like "a lizard." I'm not gonna lie, I laughed when I read that and if you have ever seen a lizard, you'll know why.

But more often, he sounds anguished and sad. The star who spent his adult life morphing from one look to another, actually admits his own face repulses him.

Michael Jackson: I saw it on the computer, it made me sick when I saw it.

Rabbi Shmuley: Why?

Michael Jackson: I look like a lizard, I look like, it's horrible. I don't like it, I never like it. That's why I wish I could never be photographed or seen and I push myself to go to the things that we go to.

Jackson looked his best during his "Off The Wall" and "Thriller" album days. He looked better before all the plastic surgery and skin alterations.
