Less than perfect OpSec considering the life-in-prison consequences.

Don't fret, plenty more marketplaces.

BMR, Black Market Reloaded, will meet your needs.

I like that.

Specializes in a marketplace for money laundering, weapons, underground black market items and drugs, then asks everybody to trust him because he is such an honest and decent person that he try to make sure that everybody stay safe.

More likely he is in the process of cutting a deal selling all his customers down the river, and wants them to remain in place to improve his bargaining stance.

Can you do this without removing the face from the living first? Seems it would make it a much fresher cook, especially if you like rare.

If the bankster has been used in the Sport of Kings, then "living" is a subjective term: the rodents introduced into the posterior of the dirtbag may have consumed as far north as the windpipe or the throat cavity. This makes a medium or well-done preparation a much better idea.

Read the reddit post. He was, of course, was an Austrian. You cannot make this stuff up. DPR cited the "Austrian Economic theory" along with the works of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard, all of which are closesly associated with the Mises Institute.

the bitcoin thing is really a bit of a joke really.

But she sure needed that $100,000 government loan to be directly paid to the

And even if she didn't want it, government would spend a ton of money
convincing her to participate.

That is just balls amazing. Not sure how I missed this amid all the MTG nerds I hung out with in Ye Olden Dayes.

WTF! This company is also being charged with drug money laundering! What the hell kind of double standard is this? Why isn't HSBC, who laundered billions for drug cartels, being prosecuted? What kind of banana republic is the USA?

Bitcoin is destined for universal currency status, possibly becoming the most legit money in the world. A currency that isn't subject to the arbitrary whims of a feckless nation and its sociopathic politicians is better than gold. As the marketplace moves more and more online, the need for physical money representation is less and less.
The US government shut down yesterday. This can't be great for dollar values. It does make bitcoin more attractive, and if it can be spent without Uncle Sam dipping his hand in for his cut, all the better.
For a fictional example of this by an extremely intelligent author read "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson.

This is a University poll where faculties are typically 100% democrat and the students aren't far behind.
Considering the polling results in this biased group split 50/50 means the dems are in big trouble.
You can see it the President and the Senate Leader's faces right now.

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Comptroller says

The GOP needs to field a Real Conservative. Not some guy who whines about the 47% who refuse to get rich, but someone who will condemn the 99% to being reduced to soap and signs off his campaign ads, "Suck my dick, losers!".

Not conservative enough.

I want a conservative against not only contraception, compact fluorescent bulbs, and the germ theory of disease; I want a guy against bronze, candles, the round Earth, and the axle!

Wheels are communist! Axles are for ASSHOLES!

They're already against an Earth older than 10,000 years and evolution, so bronze, candles, axles, and a round earth aren't far behind.

Why is this important? Because when it's all said and done, it's not your country. It's OURS. If we ever truly get sick of you and tired of working within the system, we'll just kill you. That's called a civil war and we're long overdue for one. Send over more dirt bags and we'll kill them as well. That's the only way it's ever gonna be right.

Holy shit. Is that for real or is that a parody?

Nah, it's the same ignorant religious-fanatic whose ass we've been forced to kiss since the Constitutional Convention in 1789. The most entitled, whiny little bitch population subgroup in American history, and they complain about how everyone else is getting a free ride.

I'm not sure I understand the *necessary* connection between religious fanatics and slave owners. Quite a few of the "founding fathers" were rationalists/deists and owned slaves. Jefferson is a good example.

Nice gerrymandering!

Obama took the state, but there was some discussion in Republican circles about switching to per-district allocation of EVs if it would have gotten Romney 269+.

rootvg says

Uh, because we don't want to pay for something someone else should be paying for?

Do you have an auto insurance? If yes, I guess you pay for someone else accidents, right?

Interestingly before Obama care, you would pay for emergencies incurred by other people.
By contrast, with Obama care, people actually have to buy an insurance to pay for their own care.

The free loaders that were not buying insurance but then showing up at emergencies for free care will now have to pay. That should make you happy.

Parade all you want while Obama grows the welfare state. One day you'll collectively wake up, when Obama cool aid wears off. Hopefully it will not be too late.

They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

Bitcoin is not controlled by banks, it's controlled by whomever has the money to purchase hashing power. It's the dumbest thing since the Dutch Tulip Mania.

Illegals are generously allowed to pay into social security knowing they will never be able to collect to the tune of 7 billion dollars. Pretty shameful.

... you mean they are generously allowed to be extorted by organized crime from back home ...
extortion, human trafficking, drug trafficking kidnapping, murder etc etc. It is not possible to have illegal aliens contribute to so called Social Security.

Human trafficking second only to drugs in Mexico

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/08/26/mexico.human.trafficking/index.html

t is indeed big business. Human trafficking is one of the most lucrative forms of crime worldwide after drug and arms trafficking, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime said in April.
In Mexico, it is a $15 billion- to $20 billion-a-year endeavor, second only to drug trafficking, said Samuel Logan, founding director of Southern Pulse, an online information network focused on Latin America.

"And that may be a conservative estimate," Logan said.

That money, which used to go mostly to smugglers, now also flows into the hands of drug cartel members.

So you are saying the IRS and Social Security Administration lied about this. The social security suspense file doesn't exist. It's all part of a world wide conspiracy to floridate drinking water or something like that?

I sleep better at night knowing only you and Jimmy Hoffa know the real truth. You really need to lay of the hallucinogens.

He used to amuse me, now it's just annoyingly pathetic.

PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE.

Facebooksux says

PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE.

Not sure what there is to explain. Lets assume for the time being that this article is 100% factual. The question then is are these vampire homes:

(a) a brand new, never before existing threat to the housing market which will be released en-masse, causing prices to collapse as they were 2007-2009

or

(b) an ongoing phenomena, for all or part of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, during which time prices (i) stagnated and then (ii) slowly started rising.

Far as I can tell, this is more of the category (b) can kicking we have seen for the last half decade. Meaning that the banks will continue to slowly add to, or reduce homes from the "vampire" ranks, causing the exact same effect on prices that we see today...which is to say little to no effect at all.
