How Obama and Buffet FIRED 40,0000 Workers in One Day!…and made $4 billion. (AND DOUBLED BUFFET'S INVESTMENT IN THE PROCESS) Con Underground ^| 9/21/11 | 4evercon

While Obama and Buffet are working on finding new ways to fleece middle class America of more of our money to finance the salaries of the new storm troopers, the SEIU, Teamsters and Teacher’s unions and the various ACORN spawned organizations, the two are simultaneously prosecuting an all out war on the private sector.

To hear the old kook tell it the idea came to him while he was playing in the bathtub.

Those of us who no longer believe in the tooth fairy prefer to to dig a little and find out just exactly how did this seemingly Archimedian epiphany come to the so called Oracle of Omaha.

The Buffet official fairy tale is that he was in the middle of his “splish splash I was taking a bath” when he just decided that he would invest $5 Billion dollars in the moribund Bank of America. Gee ain’t that just peachy! It’s right up there with the Obama birth certificate!

Let’s just quickly go over a few facts including the time line of the events that preceded Buffet’s Eureka moment. On August 26th Warren Buffet announced that Bank of America agreed to give him the most incredibly advantageous terms for his investment of $5 billion and as you know Buffet claimed that the idea came to him in the bathtub.

While we have no evidence that Warren Buffet actually takes baths, in fact many have complained about the strong fecal odor emanating from his mouth, we do have evidence that Warren Buffet visited the White House the day prior to announcing his deal with Bank of America.

Obama and Buffet supporters argue that the two events are not mutually exclusive and that Buffet and Obama may well have discussed the deal in a bathtub.

Warren Buffet with Obama’s help just about doubled his money in under an hour
. The terms of the deal that Warren Buffet got from Bank of America are absolutely incredible! Buffett bought preferred shares for which he will get 6% interest in perpetuity unless Bank of America pays him an additional $250 million to go away and he also received some very juicy warrants.

Warrants are a means of participating in the increase of the price of the stock. Say that you bought , in this Buffet got them for free, warrants that allow you to buy Bank of America shares at $7 per share; also known as the strike price. If the stock goes to say $9, then you can exercise your warrants and get the stock at the strike price of $7 and immediately turn around and sell the stock at the market price of $9, thus making a $2 per share profit – on something Buffet got for free. You can also sell the warrants for the intrinsic value (the difference between the strike price of $7 and the market price $9), which in this case would be $2. That’s just what happened on August 25, a few minutes after Buffet announced his investment except that the warrants didn’t go to $2 but went to over $5!

Bank of America stock soared and the warrants were worth $5.49 PER SHARE OR ALMOST $4 BILLION ! I wonder how much of that will find it’s way in the Obama campaign coffers?

Warren Buffet with Obama’s help just about doubled his money in under an hour, making a $4 billion dollar paper profit on his $5 billion dollar investment.

Bank of America announced record number of layoffs
Let’s remember that Bank of America got $20 billion dollars of taxpayer funded TARP money and another $118 billion dollars worth of loan backstop guarantees; the same kind of guarantees that Solyndra got and now we have to pay. You’d think that maybe the American people who gave bank of America so much more money that Warren Buffet did would maybe get some of those warrants… Alas only Obama bathing buddies are allowed such “luck.”

So what is the response from the White House and Warren Buffet ? One would think that Buffet would be content with his and Obama’s plunder of this company that has gotten so much taxpayer money!
Well, on September 9, just a few days after getting $5 billion from Buffet, Bank of America announced the lay off of 40,000 workers! The reason that they did this is so that they can save, yes , you guessed it, $5 billion dollars!! Isn’t that just such a coincidence?

So while Obama and Buffet are planning to continue to fleece us with additional confiscatory taxes and go on their national dog and pony show to convince the few gullible Americans that still believe their BS that this will somehow save us, both Obama and Buffet are plundering American companies and laying off record numbers of workers.

Apparently, Obama and Buffet are only concerned about giving jobs to government employees and the tiny percentage of workers who are union members.

Employees of free private companies and non union workers are being fired in record numbers by Obama and Buffet.

A Tin-Pot Dictator Living Lavishly at the Expense of His Subjects
Musical Infidels (and others) Against Jihad ^ | June 2011 | Rich Carroll

“Lazy,” “Disconnected,” “Foreign,” are but a few adjectives used to describe the current White House resident many insiders call “The Vacation President.” Obama is what business executives would call a “bad hire.” Voters went for style instead of substance and lost; really big, and Obama doesn't even pretend to feign interest when a financial or global crisis might interfere with his next extravagant vacation or golf outing.

Can we measure his failure over two years? Gas has jumped from $1.83 to $3.44, an 84% increase. Obama's solution is to refuse to drill for more oil. Long term unemployment jumped from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000 a 146.2% LEAP! Obama's solution is to drive more businesses off shore with higher taxes. People receiving food stamps: 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35% increase! The son of devout communist Stanley Ann Dunham is an incompetent bust, but let us digress:

Your grandmother told you “you are the company you keep,” a truism lost on starry eyed voters more eager to assuage the guilt of never having had a black president than daring to peek at his friends and background. To do so would have been; “racist.” Memory, to some voters is like a stack of china – if you pull the plate from the middle the whole stack comes crashing down.

In this case the middle plate was Obama's past (what little we knew before everything was erased). He isn't responsible for his family, or the family of his wife, but he IS responsible for the friends and acquaintances he chose from communists, radical Muslims, anti-Americans, and the white hating minister he discipled under for 20 years, all helped to form the character and ideals of a man totally disenfranchised from this nation and our heritage. He was attending school in the Muslim nation of Indonesia at a time when the rest of us learned the words to the Pledge of Allegiance and The Star Spangled Banner. It is possible an American president doesn't know the words to these?

During a period of two years as our “President,” the pathology of Mr. Obama's zeitgeist has shown itself more clearly in the outward manifestation of his actions with Islam and Islamic nations. This President has been recorded 22 times saying the words “The Holy Qur'an tells us.” He has never been recorded saying “The Holy Bible tells us.”

That aside, he has squandered billions of dollars of our money during these hard economic times by giving our money to terrorist HAMAS, Egypt, Pakistan and other Muslim Brotherhood movements behind their desperate backdrop to islamisize these nations further. Clearly the cornerstone of the Barack Hussein Obama Administration is one to advance Islam, and destroy the United States of America. His pro-Islamic Administration has turned America away from Israel for the first time since they became a nation in 1948. To attempt to rationalize any other conclusion based upon his performance, words and actions is dreaming. Obama has not kept one campaign promise, and we are still foundering under a layer of corruption this product of Chicago style thug politicians engineered with ACORN and other nefarious and illegal groups. The Ku Klux Klan, once the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party, has been replaced with The Black Panthers and labor union thugs. Our national debt under Barack Hussein Obama has risen three and a half TRILLION dollars in two years.

America is awash in debt, and the Prince and Princess Obama frolic in lavish Wednesday night White House parties complete with celebrities, Kobe beef and a river of champagne while the rest of us “must sacrifice.”

As Obama promotes his Islamic agenda, African Americans in this nation have gone backwards under the soft bigotry of low expectations and social promotions continue to consign black America to economic bondage created by his culture of “socialism.” Black unemployment in the past 2 years has leaped from 12.6% to 15.8% a 25.4% increase. Shame on Democrats. Shame on a charlatan President who sold this nation white smiling teeth and empty promises shrouded in a hatred for America, white people and a greater hatred for the history and success of our country.

4 Things you might not have known about your  Cell Phone   For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)    There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.   Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.   Check out the things that you can do with it:   FIRST   (Emergency)   The Emergency Number worldwide for  Mobile   is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked Try it out.     SECOND   (Hidden  Battery   Power)   Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.   THIRD   (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? ) To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:      *#06# . A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.   If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. The y will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.       And Finally....   FOURTH   (Free Directory Service for Cells)   Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE411   or (800) 373-3411    without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.   This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

Property manager bilked $20M in condo fraud, victims claim

Article Courtesy of The Toronto Star

By Diana Zlomislic and Raveena Aulakh

Published September 17, 2011

More than 1,000 condo owners across Toronto fear they are on the hook for millions of dollars as victims of an alleged property fraud.

Lawyers estimate the total misappropriation may exceed $20 million.

Manzoor Moorshed Khan, president of Channel Property Management, borrowed millions against at least five buildings without their knowledge, according to documents obtained by the Star.

Khan — a “rags-to-riches” entrepreneur who collected cars like shoes and wore gold and diamond rings on every finger — left the country for Bangladesh a few weeks ago, former employees said.

The publicly traded financial institution that lent the money said it, too, is a victim.

“It seems to be a case where a fairly sophisticated criminal fraud has been perpetrated,” Andrew Moor, president of The Equitable Trust Company, said in an interview. He said the suspected scheme “managed to penetrate a longstanding process that has kept us safe.”

On Wednesday, Channel was evicted from its swanky, marble-clad Woodbridge office for not paying rent.

Industry experts said they have never seen anything like this before.

“This is totally unprecedented,” said Dean McCabe, president of the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario. “Everyone (in the industry) is in a tizzy.”

The Star has learned that at least four condominium corporations managed by Khan’s company were victims in the alleged fraud. Of these, one has filed a lawsuit for $3.1 million against Khan, his company and several financial firms, including Equitable Trust.

The suit, filed by owners at 25 Grenville St., a luxury condo with around 200 units in downtown Toronto, alleges Khan registered a fake bylaw without the board’s knowledge that authorized him to borrow more than $3 million against the property, according to court documents.

The boards of directors for three other properties have yet to inform the condo owners of the suspected loan fraud.

Khan is also accused of siphoning off money from another condo in a construction fraud. A separate lawsuit, filed by owners at 236 Albion Rd., claims Khan rigged the tender process on building projects by creating a company that would come in at the lowest bid to win lucrative jobs and then subcontract the work at half the cost.

Channel and Khan “expressly deny they committed any wrongful acts as alleged,” according to a statement of defense filed in court.

Last week, surprised and angry residents of 25 Grenville St. crowded into a hotel banquet room for a meeting with lawyers to discuss the case.

“I think the question raised most often was, ‘How could this have happened?’ ” said a resident who did not want to be named.

Khan falsified a series of legal papers to obtain the loans, including one that declared two of his employees as the condo board’s president and secretary, the lawsuit alleges.

According to allegations filed in court, Khan arranged a loan in the condo’s name and had two of his employees pose as board directors to obtain the loan. Without the board’s knowledge, he opened a bank account in the condo’s name and $3.1 million was deposited into the account in January.

Eight months later, Equitable Trust Company, a niche mortgage lender that does a lot of business with condos, issued a notice of defaulted payments on 25 Grenville St.

Equitable Trust has since issued a notice to shareholders alerting them to the suspected fraud relating to four loans having a total outstanding balance of roughly $14 million.

All of the loans involve Channel Properties, Moor confirmed.

He said his company is investigating.

Mohammad Irfan Naeem , 38, is one of two Channel employees named in the lawsuit filed by 25 Grenville St.

He says his signatures were forged on loan documents.

“My life is a mess now.”

Naeem joined Channel about four years ago. He was already working at 25 Grenville St. as the security supervisor when Khan took over the property and asked Naeem to step up to manage the property.

Naeem jumped at the offer. He knew the board and got along with residents. The next four years were perfect, said Naeem.

Until a phone call in mid-August.

A lawyer who was helping a client buy a condo in the building wanted to talk with his supervisor, Mihaela Jurkovic.

A few hours later, Naeem said Jurkovic called him; she was hysterical.

“She was crying on the phone. She said we are gone,” said Naeem.

Naeem said she told him that the lawyer had faxed her documents showing a loan of more than $3 million against the property.

“She said our names — hers and mine — were also there. I was speechless.”

Jurkovic faxed the documents to Naeem who said he barfed when he read them.

Khan did not respond to their calls or emails for two days, said Naeem, who heard his boss was in Dubai.

Naeem said he passed on the documents to the board president.

“I’d worked there for eight years . . . my loyalties were with the board and the residents.”

Jurkovic, the other Channel employee named in the lawsuit, declined the Star’s request for an interview.

Naeem is unemployed now. The board fired Channel on August 18.

“I was upset to lose my job but I was angry that this had happened with people I knew so well, who had helped me when I needed a job,” he said.

At 236 Albion Rd. , Khan’s management company was responsible for soliciting tenders to repair exterior walls, windows and balconies in the buildings.

Unbeknownst to the condo board, one of the bids put forward by Khan came from a company he created called Canali Engineering. It submitted the lowest bid with a tender amount of $1.2 million. After it won the contract, Canali advised the board it needed more money to complete the job, inflating the value of the work to $1.3 million, court documents allege.

But Canali never did the work.

Instead, it hired a subcontractor at half the cost.

A property manager who took over one of Khan’s buildings after the board detected the alleged fraud described him as a “rags-to-riches story.”

Khan was working as a superintendant at an apartment rental building near Martingrove and Rexdale when he decided to create his own property management firm in 2003.

During an interview with the Star in August, Khan boasted that he managed more than 40 condos — positioning himself as a mid-level company. His employees, though, say the actual number was less than 15 at any one time.

So who is Khan?

Depends who you ask.

Ranjan Bhasin, who worked as an accountant for Channel Property Management for four years, said Khan is private, religious and kept his staff happy.

“He was always good to us,” said Bhasin.

In late-August, when Bhasin and other staff learned of the lawsuit, Khan said “his enemies were out to get him.”

A former employee, who did not want to be named, described Khan as outgoing, lavish and personable. “He was a good businessman… he had his fingers in many pies,” he said. Khan, said the former employee, travelled often to the Middle-East, especially Dubai where he had business interests.

What everyone agrees to is that Khan loved high-end cars. “He changed cars like shoes… there was a new one every few months,” said the former employee.

At his two-storey home in Brampton this week, a small army of luxury vehicles — Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, BMW — fill the driveway and the two-car garage.

Four video cameras monitor the premises but nobody answered the doorbell when the Star visited.

According to sources, Khan got contracts at condominiums by bidding lower than others. “Also, you have to remember that a lot of these (condo) board members are immigrants and they identified with Khan,” said one of Khan’s former senior-level employees. “He was persuasive.”

Khan was known to argue with condo boards but “there was never a problem that couldn’t be solved,” said a former employee, adding that the allegations against Khan are shocking.

Kamal Sharma, a part-time accountant who looked after the company’s payroll, was laid off 10 days ago.

“They laid off everybody, actually,” Sharma said, noting the company employed about a dozen staff.

Khan’s 25-year-old daughter Sharmin Sadia has been left to run the show.

Sadia referred the Star’s requests for an interview to her lawyer who said the family had no comment.

On the day of the firings, Sharma said Sadia told staff her father went to Bangladesh and that her mother was ill.

“There are no more properties to manage,” Sadia told staff. “There is nothing left to do . . . Everybody should go now.”

 Goodbye to ABC TV

 

I was outraged last week when I read President Obama asked us not to swathe the country in our U.S. flags  over 9/11 because so many people living here did not have our loyalties and we should not make them uncomfortable. Now ABC forbidding reporters to wear lapel pin or patriotic insignia. It makes one wonder if any of them served any time in the Military or what they may have done to serve their country.

Sign the Anti-Obama Tax Petition
Dear Newsmax Reader,
Surprise! President Obama's new plan is the same as his old plan: he wants to raise your taxes. That is his solution to America's dangerously high debt and lack of job creation.
>> Tell President Obama: Don't Raise My Taxes.
For years, President Obama ignored calls to end Washington's reckless spending binge and the threat posed from higher taxes. This week, President Obama proposed a $1.5 trillion tax hike on the American people and job creators. After nearly 3 years of on the job training, he still believes taking more of your money will lead us to economic prosperity.
>> Sign our petition: tell President Obama enough is enough.
America has a job creation problem, not a tax problem. Tell President Obama that punishing the taxpayers will not create jobs or solve our debt crisis.
Join us by signing the petition,

Michael A. Needham
Chief Executive Officer
Heritage Action for America

I’m not going to sugarcoat this… the newest round of economic data is downright awful.

• Jobless claims jump yet again—to the highest levels since June.
• Another significant slowdown in manufacturing—both the Philly Fed index and New York’s Empire State index showed steep drops.
• A record number of Americans—more than 42 million people—lived in poverty last year.
• Household income dropped ANOTHER 2.3% last year.
• Some economists now put the chance of another recession at 80%!

I asked former hedge fund manager Hilary Kramer what’s ahead for the markets and was shocked my her answer. Please watch this special presentation to hear for yourself, and learn what you must do NOW to prepare yourself for the market turmoil ahead.
I’m making this important alert available to you absolutely free. Watch it now.

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card       Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it.  Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the  United States  now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the  message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.   An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message. Our Social Security  Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social  Security (FICA) Program. He promised:  1.) That participation in the Program would be  Completely voluntary,  No longer Voluntary  2.) That the participants would only have to pay  1% of the first $1,400 of their annual  Incomes into the Program,  Now 7.65% on the first $90,000    3.) That the money the participants elected to put  into the Program would be deductible from  their income for tax purposes each year,  No longer tax deductible  4.) That the money the participants put into the  independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the  general operating fund, and therefore, would  only be used to fund the Social Security  Retirement Program, and no other  Government program, and,  Under Johnson the money was moved to  The General Fund and Spent  5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.  Under Clinton & Gore  Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed  Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are  now receiving a Social Security check every month --  and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of  the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put  away' -- you may be interested in the following:  ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----  Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the  independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the  general fund so that Congress could spend it?  A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.  ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --  Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A: The Democratic Party.  ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----  Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social  Security annuities?  A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the  Senate, while he was Vice President of the  US  ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -  Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?  AND MY FAVORITE:  A: That's right!  Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.    Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The  Democratic Party gave these payments to them,  even though they never paid a dime into it!  ------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------  Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),  the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!  And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!  If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve.  But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?  Actions speak louder than bumper stickers
