2009-09-22 15:12:00 former attorney for SpongeTech, a New York company known for making soap-filled sponges it sells through infomercials, *_says the company forged dozens of legal documents tied to its issuance of stock. _* SpongeTech, which boasts that sales skyrocketed 900 percent this year, received international attention earlier this month when tennis star Serena Williams screamed at a US Open tennis championship line judge in front of one of its ads.

The accusations of forgery and "identity theft" come from Norfolk, Conn. attorney Joel Pensley, who said in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission that he was "dumbfounded" to learn that...

NASA Study: Algore is a Fraud
2009-06-05 12:33:00 NASA study links climate change to Solar activity, and human activity, Â DailyTeach: Some researchers believe that the solar cycle influences global climate changes. They attribute recent warming trends to cyclic variation. Skeptics, though, argue that there’s little hard evidence of a solar hand in recent climate changes. Now, a new research report from a surprising source may help to lay this skepticism to rest. A study from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland looking at climate data over the past century has concluded that solar variation has made a significant impact on the Earth’s climate. The report concludes that evidence for climate changes based on solar radiation can be traced back as far as the Industrial Revolution.

Another Flowers Fraud On Obama?s High Court Choice
2009-05-08 21:29:00 I have to believe that the Philadelphia Daily News give column space to Christine Flowers on Friday because it will make our weekends more enjoyable to know that her dreck won?t appear again for seven days afterwards.She wastes more of our time here today on the question of who President Obama will choose as his Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice David Souter; after telling us that Obama ?still? hasn?t made his choice (is he supposed to be governed by sands running from an hourglass on this?), she implies that he?s busy making sure the demographics of his choice are satisfactory to the voters who elected him.And then she tells us this?This is the first time in more than a decade and a half that a Democratic president will be asking a majority Democratic Congress to approve his high court pick. The last was Bill Clinton, whose choice of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was graciously handled by both sides of the aisle: She was confirmed by a 96-3 vote.Don't expect to see those numbers this...

She implied that the failure to con...
The BBC works in an atmosphere of slanders and fraud-- Besmirching characte
2009-04-15 20:07:00 We and many others have long held that the BBC deliberately smears Israel in its radio and TV broadcasts labeled "news." One BBC propaganda agent, Jeremy Bowen, chief of propaganda on Middle Eastern affairs for the Beeb, has recently been censured [also see here]. Either he had gone too far or representations made by CAMERA and British critics of the BBC had put the management in the position of having to discipline him.But the BBC works in a political atmosphere where slander and fraud, fake "news" stories and sleaze operate at the highest level of government. A close associate of PM Gordon Brown, one Damian McBride, invented vicious slanders, sexual and otherwise, of opposition politicians. David Pryce-Jones reports part of the McBride story:McPoisonThe name of Damian McBride was virtually unknown in Britain, except to a small circle of political insiders, and some of them already called him McPoison.

Obama’s Devotion to a Fraud

Most of the nations that signed it have largely ignored it, discovering that it harms their economies. The U.S. avoided signing, but Americans have elected a President who is utterly devoted to this “solution” to a problem that does not exist.

A-Rod Called ‘A-Fraud’ By Teammates According to Torre
2009-01-25 17:24:00 ESPN is reporting that Joe Torre, in his soon-to-be published book ‘The Yankee Years,’ writes that Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez was called ‘A-Fraud’ by his teammates, while Torre was manager of the New York Yankees. Teammates frequently called Alex Rodriguez “A-Fraud,” and the third baseman was obsessed over his rivalry with shortstop Derek Jeter, “The Yankee Years” reveals, according to the New York Daily News and New York Post. The book by Torre supposedly shows that Torre is very bitter about how the Yankees and their GM Brian Cashman treated him on his way out the door in the Bronx. It does seem that teammates, fans, and enemies of A-Rod all seem to think the same thing about him.

Fraud and Cronyism Under Neoliberalism - A Feature, Not a Bug
2008-11-16 20:08:00 In the comments section, Uncle Milton suggests that the massive fraud perpetuated under the Bush regime (RL: I would add under Reagan too) were antithetical to a free market system. A true free market system is supposed to make fraud illegal. By any definition of classical economics, what happened to the real estate market was fraud on a massive scale. PS No bid contracts in Iraq as you might guess as nothing to do with free market economics. Crony capitalism and corruption are in conflict with free market economics. If you take a turd, paint it white, and call it beautiful.. it's still a turd. By your definition, Unc, free market economics hardly occurs anywhere. This seems to be the problem. Once these neoliberal systems are put in, they are very prone to corruption and crony capitalism. Extremely prone! Everyone wails about it, but it seems to be almost an inherent part of the system. A feature, not a bug.And the proponents of the free market tend to be very tolerant of massive ...
