"Crash is in September."

yup

and the negative news that will move the market downward should occur
Sept 15

this organization below.. runs the show

http://www.legatus.org/public/index.asp

the money laundering occurs just prior to the pilgrimage to rome and
the checks are written during the pilgrimage and the checks clear by
September 14 and the negative news leaks out (something along the
lines of "insider trading on a mass scale at a major brokerage) then
they start crossing the "t"s and dotting the "i"s on Sarbanes-Oxley II

SOX II will certainly protect the working class' nest-eggs fur sure!

but it all seems a little out there...

Subject: Re: Shorters and bears, your reign of terror is over!

"but it all seems a little out there..."

it does seem like that

This is how you debase a securities market:

Note: For search purposes the date format is day/month/year (example:
24/05/1999 is read as May 24 1999).

24/05/1999  Al Gore backs aid to faith-based groups in speech to
Salvation Army facility in Atlanta.

The following is the political definition of "aid to faith-based
groups".

07/1999  Tyco wires $15 million to one of Kozlowski’s personal
accounts and $10 million to a personal account of Mr. Schwartz.

22/07/1999  (WSJ316) Texas Gov. George W. Bush tells an Indianapolis
audience that aid to faith-based groups will rally America’s “armies
of compassion” to solve social ills (this is a biblical metaphor).

Here comes a little more of Gore & Bush's "aid to faith-based groups".

08/1999  $38.5 million bonus paid in the form of loan forgiveness to
Schwartz ($12.5 million) and Kozlowski ($25 million) and $1 million to
another person.  Note: Phillip Hampton (“dead-man defense”) chairman
of Tyco compensation committee.

The accounts of Kozlowski, Belnick, and Schwartz are all being filled
prior to the pilgrimage to Rome.

22/09/1999  Belnick files to sell 75,000 shares, worth an estimated
$7.5 million, that he acquired through an exercise of options and from
an employee benefit plan.

30/09/1999  (WSJ300) Belnick receives the first of several huge Tyco
payments: $3.4 million from the sale of restricted company shares.

The same day!

30/09/1999  Members of the organization of Catholic businessmen begin
their 1999 Pilgrimage to Rome with a Mass in the Church of Santo
Spirito celebrated by Archbishop John Foley.  The Pilgrimage lasts
until October 07, 1999.

10/1999  Barbara Ley Toffler ends work at Arthur Anderson "four years
to the day" after she started.

10/1999  (WSJ101) Frank Savage Joins Enron’s board.  He will be a
member of the board’s finance committee. He is also on the board of
Lockheed Martin Corp.  WSJ reports this is the day after Enron
suspends ethics code for the second time.  This move enables CFO
Andrew Fastow to head two controversial partnerships that kept
significant debt off of the books.  Savage subsequently votes to
create other off-balance sheet vehicles and suspends the ethics code a
third time.  (note: the IRS conspired to allow Enron to avoid taxes
since "Project Tanya" in 1996)  Note: Harvard's Toffler ended work
with Arthur Anderson this month!

10/1999  (WSJ338) Enron launches Enron Online and racks up more than
$180 billion in transactions in the first year.  Note: The IRS only
bills them for $64 million.

06/10/1999  Belnick emails Father McCloskey to say: “I’m sending you
my check for $2M for my pledge to the new Sanctuary/Alter in the
Catholic Information Center in Washington.”  My note: Some of that
faith-based funding stuff is starting to enter the scene.  Belnick is
actually laundering money between the church and Tyco.

Note: The "radical Islamic Muslim extremists" begin to wonder why a
Jewish attorney is laundering money from Tyco to Catholic
institutions?

06/10/1999  Wednesday October 06 1999; 05:02 pm Eastern Time; Yahoo
Message Board: TYC (Tyco); Post #4545; "The lawyer is shedding some
stock"  "Probably buying a boat ... wonder what he knows?"

Washington October 06 (Reuters) - Mark Belnick, chief corporate
counsel and executive vice-president at Tyco International Ltd.
(NYSE:TYC - news), filed to sell about $7.5 million in stock, a
Securities and Exchange Commission filing said.  Belnick filed
September 22 to sell 75,000 shares, worth an estimated $7.5 million,
that he acquired through an exercise of options and from an employee
benefit plan, the filing said.

06/10/1999  Tyco shares are up 1-1/8 to $106-1/8 on the NYSE.

See the next day!

07/10/1999  Date of the end of recent Legatus Pilgrimage.  Note: The
Catholic Information Center in Washington looted Tyco, not Belnick.
Belnick was simply the courier.

Note: See next day!!!!!

08/10/1999  David Tice (Dallas-based market analyst) sends out report
regarding Tyco’s accounting practices.  Note: In reality, the report
should have mentioned money-laundering but it didn’t.  Note: This is
the day following the end of the Legatus pilgrimage.  The check is in
the mail as of two days ago.  The Catholic Information Center gets its
money. The Legatus "tough choices" are chosen.  The beans can be
spilled.

13/10/1999  Tyco calls rumors “unfounded and malicious”.  This is a
Wednesday (six days after the Legatus Pilgrimage).

29/10/1999  Tyco issues response to New York Times article.  Note: The
NYT is (intentionally) debasing Tyco share value.

31/10/1999  EgyptAir crashes a half-hour after the plane takes off
from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.

11/1999  (WSJ300)  Tyco accounting practices begin attracting
skeptical press reports.  The SEC commission launches a probe.

The SEC is faking it.

02/11/1999  (WSJ300) Father McCloskey emails Belnick: “I pray you are
weathering well the Tyco tempest”.

05/11/1999  (WSJ300) Belnick emails Father McCloskey blaming the
government inquiry on “rumormongers”.  He adds that Tyco’s woes were
“nothing compared to the problems of Mother Theresa’s earthly charges
or the glory of her boss.” (note: yet another biblical analogy to
white-collar crime)

05/11/1999  (WSJ27) WSJ reports the Senate overwhelmingly approved, by
a vote of 90-8 a landmark financial services overhaul of restrictions
in the Glass-Steagall law.

16/11/1999  George H. W. Bush and his wife sell 100,000 shares of
Global Crossing for $4.45 million.

12/1999  (WSJ563) Omar Sheikh is freed from an Indian Jail - where he
was serving time for kidnapping American (and British) citizens in
Delhi - in exchange for the release of 150 Indians whose flight had
been hijacked to Kandahar by Islamic terrorists. (According to an
eyewitness, Mr. Bernard-Henri Levy reports, Sheikh was received in
Kandahar by an ISI operative.)

09/12/1999  Tyco announces the SEC is conducting an informal inquiry
related to charges and reserves taken in connection with the company’s
acquisitions.

22/12/1999  Lawfirm Stull, Stull and Brody announce class action
against Tyco.  Kaplan, Kilsheimer and Fox also file a class action
against Tyco in the district of New Hampshire.  Other law-firms
include Bernstein, Liebhard and Lifshitz.  Schoengold and Sporn.
Note: They are debasing Tyco stock value and they are rounding up who
knows what to make certain that knowledge of what really happened
stays.. at the tip of the iceberg.

10/03/2000  Nasdaq closes at 5048.62 after hitting an intraday high of
5132.52.

Mark Belnick and Warren Rudman had re-"structured" and "governed" the
NASD between 1994 and 1995.

24/02/2000  (WSJ300) Belnick laments in an email to Father McCloskey
that he lacks “spousal consent”.

28/02/2000  (WSJ300) Day Belnick had planned to convert to
Catholicism.

because globalization comes with an invoice ya rumdum.

in this case this scenario is how Tyco's undersea fiber network got
paid for

no fiber = no outsourcing

Subject: Re: Shorters and bears, your reign of terror is over!
This might sound like a line out of an Aston Kutcher movie but:
Dude...now that is hardcore.

My real question here though, is what is the motive for this
organization? Are you saying that this is some type of modern day
papal indulgence? Give $100M to the Catholic church and enjoy a
lifetime with 70 virgins and an indoor bowling alley? That's the only
way that I could really understand your conspiracy theory argument is
if the need is to generate a bunch of cash to give to this
organization, such that one or two in power/influence keep quiet about
an ugly situation (i.e. Tyco, BSC) until a select moment.

Still, under the efficient market theory, how can it be possible for
this situation to occur? Have you used it to profit? Have your legions
of Google Finance message boarders traded on it too? ;o)  It doesn't
completely pass my sniff test, but just like a Dan Brown book, it's
got intrigue.

You have been warned

The insider sellers' checks clear the Vatican by the 23rd of Oct.
They return from the pilgrimmage
The media prints negative news regarding unorthodox accounting methods
in the first market sector to fall and the crash begins

Opus Dei used to do it
Now Legatus does it

By the Ides of March 2008 you will wonder how I knew

I'll be reposting this on March 20 of 2008 to prove it

end of post

And WellCare Was Raided On The 24th Of October

And what happened on the Ides of March 2008?

You really don't have to be a prophet to figure out how a securities
exchange is debased.

Subject: Re: Shorters and bears, your reign of terror is over!

"but it all seems a little out there..."

Here is how HealthSouth did it.

I call it..

"The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good”

How 9-11 & War Covered Up HealthSouth

..

12 months after 9-11, Ms. Alice Martin, the U.S. attorney in
Birmingham and her counterparts from around the country were called to
Washington for a conference on corporate fraud and white collar crime
with Attorney General John Ashcroft, Deputy attorney general Larry
Thompson and SEC chairman Harvey Pitt.  In her hand written notes at
the meeting, Ms. Martin, a 46-year old former nurse turned lawyer
jotted down this line: “The perfect is the enemy of the good”.  She
said in an interview that what that meant was that, “Your case doesn’t
have to be perfect.  You don’t have to prove every crime.  If you’ve
got enough evidence to back up a few good charges, don’t work for
another year nailing down every shred of evidence for every possible
charge that might be there.

Wall Street Journal, Friday, April 04, 2003, (ref: wsj200)
“HealthSouth Case Emerges As A Model Strategy” by Anne Carrns in
Atlanta, Carrick Mollencamp in Birmingham, and Deborah Soloman and
John R. Wilke in Washington

Two and a half years later, on June 28, 2005, HealthSouth’s Chief
Executive Officer, Richard M. Scrushy was found.. not guilty on all
charges.

If only the feds had worked just another year, nailed down just a few
more shreds of evidence, and found just a few more possible charges..

..what might they have uncovered?

The federal government’s case obviously wasn’t “perfect”.

..or was it?

Think real hard and try to remember what were you doing.. hours after
the September 11 terrorist attacks?

Were you back to business-as-usual.. hours after the terrorist
attack?  Probably not – but for the Alabama legislature 9-11 was..
just another day.

“In 2001, HealthSouth, with support from the Alabama Gov. Don
Siegelman, won a State Senate vote to exempt the company’s planned
$300 million high-tech “digital hospital” from the state process for
approving new hospitals.  PACS controlled by HealthSouth lobbyists
contributed $63,000 to state politicians before the vote, which came
just hours after the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks..”

(Wall Street Journal, Friday, May 09, 2003) (ref: WSJ288) By Ann
Carrns in Atlanta, Sarah Lueck in Washington, and Evan Perez in
Montgomery Al.

Now think real hard and try to remember the first terrorist bombing of
the World Trade Center in February of 1993.  If you remember that..
then you probably remember two days later on the 28th of February when
Attorney General Janet Reno began the assault on the Branch Davidians.

Sorry, that was a trick question.

There is absolutely, positively, no way whatsoever you remember that.

Why?

Because Attorney General Janet Reno did not begin the assault on the
Branch Davidians.

The Acting Attorney General was Stuart Gerson.. not Janet Reno.

Stewart Gerson was a senior advisor for the campaign of George H. W.
Bush during the 1988 Presidential election, and a member of the Bush
Administration’s National Health Policy Working Group as head of its
Medical Malpractice Reform Working Group.

Back to healthcare.

The story of Medicare begins when, in the mid 1940s, at the start of
the cold war against socialism, President Truman first suggested
socializing healthcare

1947 marks the beginning of the “digital revolution,” the first actual
war against cancer and it was the year the word “cancer” was first
permitted to be spoken on the radio.

In 1947, the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered, the CIA was founded,
and Arthur Anderson had been cooking Halliburton’s books for just
about a year.

The 1940s was a very, very busy decade.  For instance, July 7th 1947
was the first flight of the British Rolls-Royce Nene jet-engine.  It
just happens to be installed in a Russian fighter jet referred to as
the MiG-15.  The Rolls-Royce engine was “gifted” to Russia with the
Queen’s blessing because at the time.. Britain was strapped for cash
and Prime Minister Atlee was a liberal so historians won’t be
recording this event as an un-American affair and a technology
transfer to a cold-war enemy.

A day later, on July 8th 1947, the Soviet Union declined to
participate in the Marshall Plan and a UFO reported to be traveling
about the speed of a MiG 15 crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.  The UFO
was immediately stripped of all Rolls-Royce patent numbers and
insignias by the newly founded CIA.

Eleven cold-war years later in 1958, the Deputy Director of Rolls-
Royce visited Peking, China and was “horrified” to discover that the
Russian MiG planes had counterfeit versions of the Rolls-Royce Derwent
and NENE engines.

In August of 1950 President Truman ordered the U.S. Army to seize all
the nation’s railroads to prevent a general strike.  The railroads are
not returned to the owners until two years later.

Civics 101: As a rule, socialists seize industries because they are
socialists – capitalists seize industries to prevent labor strikes.

In 1960, thanks to the patriotic efforts of Rolls-Royce, the cold war
is off to a smashing good start, machinists are earning an average of
$1.56 an hour and the title of “computer programmer” was included for
the first time in the U.S. Census.

Thirty-five years from now the computer programmer will be earning up
to $200.00 an hour which is equivalent to $400,000.00 a year.
This is what is known as “bad planning” if you are a global labor
expert and it will mark the first time and probably the last time this
level of wage inflation has ever occurred during any industrial
revolution throughout history.

It is around this time that the United Nations begins to freak out
about this seemingly inexorable rise of wage inflation in the
information age so they start to give some serious thought on how to
proceed with the globalization of the jobs that the digital revolution
is going to introduce.

First on the list is the passage of the India Electricity Supply Act.

Mother Theresa is then given the title of “Patron Saint Of Offshoring”
by the Calcutta Department Of Commerce and she is soon assigned the
job of India’s Electrical Utility Supervisor.  This is when Mumbai
went by the name Bombay.

Back to healthcare.

Healthcare services are of the most difficult professions to globalize
so in 1950 UCLA began its “Willed Body Program” to lower the costs of
the war against cancer a little.

As a rule – all roads lead to globalism.  Enron is a good example of
one of these roads.  Since medical professions are difficult to
outsource – as another rule – all roads lead to Medicare Fraud

So, in 1962.. H. Ross Perot founded EDS to do information technology
work for large corporations and cook the books for the upcoming
Medicare and Medicaid program.

It eventually becomes glaringly obvious that exploitation of this
program was one of the primary purposes of the Medicare and Medicaid
program to begin with.

In 1964, “My Fair Lady” became a film that teaches undocumented and
third-world workers such language as “the rain in Spain falls mainly
on the plane” and “is the head of the household there” and “Verizon is
offering 1000 free minutes”, and “I love menial jobs Americans don’t
want”

On July 30th 1965, President Johnson signed the Medical Care Act of
1965 into legislation.

That same year, the founders of National Medical Enterprises (now
known as Tenet Healthcare) recognized the potential for healthcare
monopolization through fraud in the new Medicare system.

Four years later they founded NME and began their healthcare monopoly
play with the purchase of 10 hospitals, nursing homes, an office
building and some undeveloped real estate in California with $23
million in capital secured from the sale of public stock.

Two days before Christmas 1971 not a creature was stirring as
President Nixon signed the “National Cancer Act” committing vast sums
of other people’s money to fighting the dreaded disease of wage
inflation in the healthcare service and information technology
industries.

The following year.. three ships crossed in the night.

Newt Gingrich received his PhD. from Emory University in Atlanta,
Georgia and Richard M. Scrushy and Eric R. Hanson (while “waiting
tables” at the University of Alabama) also began to observe the
potential for fraud in not only Johnson’s Medical Care programs but
also Richard Nixon’s new Certificate of Need and War on Cancer
programs as well.

The third ship is another story entitled: George H.W. Bush And The
U.S.S. Erbitux”

Now Richard and Eric realized that there was a huge war on cancer
windfall and nobody could legally construct a hospital without the
Federal government’s approval.  This offered the potential for three
different monopolies (REITS,) hospital construction, and.. healthcare)
all subsidized by the defrauding of a few big “liberal socialist
programs” and it is the likely foundation for Hillary Clinton’s vast
right wing conspiracy which as it turns out was so vast.. it actually
included her.

Question: How do accountants sweep book-cooking, Medicare fraud and
securities fraud under the rug?

Answer #1: With two brooms, one broom known in the accounting biz as
the “expectations gap” which was coined by Carl D. Liggio in 1974 for
the fact that the public thinks accountants are supposed to catch
crooks while the accountants say they aren’t.  Carl Liggio eventually
becomes the General Council of Ernst & Young

(Wall Street Journal, Wednesday, June 11, 2003, 9ref: wsj296) “What
Ernst Did For HealthSouth” by Jonathan Weil

Answer #2: Another broom referred to by Richard M. Scrushy as
“Pristine Auditing” ...

Now THAT is a conspiracy theory. If you're gonna theorize about
conspiracy that is the way to go about it.

Now I don't believe this (will crash the market), but that is one
weird organization. If you go to the Legatus website and click on
their "membership criteria" it means whomever is a member has at least
a lot of $ and plenty of connections.

You know some high school kid is gonna find that website and read
DaVinci Code and his head is gonna explode. As if there weren't enough
things to misconstrue as a mass-conspiracy these days.

Anybody know how many legatus members there are? Imagine if Bill Gates
was a member or George Bush, lol. You can write quite a book on the
subject.

"After a celebration of its fifteenth anniversary in 2002, Pope John
Paul II bestowed an Apostolic Blessing upon Legatus. The impact of
Legatus continues to ripple across the nation and North America, even
reaching the shores of Canada, Ireland, and Italy.

Plans to expand internationally hold much promise thanks to the
support and encouragement of Church and political leaders worldwide."

Wow. Thanks Reinhardt, you found me another side hobby...

Thanks Reinhardt for the info and your posts (and website). It's nice
to see someone on these boards actually back up what they're talking
about with real information rather than just opinion.

Does stuff only happen around/after their pilgrimages or around their
summits too? I see they have a summit in October, and then one in
February of next year.

I do find all this rather interesting... Like they said in even the
most basic Political Science courses back in college "Not much of
anything is by coincidence alone". The skeptical side of me says that
just be cause X happened, and then Y happened, doesn't mean that X
caused Y. I'm definitely going to have to read up on all this during
my lunch break though.

"Does stuff only happen around/after their pilgrimages"

good question

from what I have seen the local (non-Rome) junkets tend to attract a
significant gathering of politicos in whatever area they take place

and the local stocks of companies in those locales and states are
affected in a negative way on a smaller scale

it took me a while to determine that the Rome visits were the big ones
