CRIME OF THE CENTURY: The Truth About Naked Short Selling

INTRODUCTION by Jim Puplava On March 31, 2007 I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Patrick M. Byrne, Chairman and CEO of Overstock.com on Financial Sense Newshour [FSN]. Dr. Byrne was interviewed by Bloomberg News' Michael Schneider on March 14, 2007, the transcript of this interview titled 'Phantom Shares,' Failed Trades and Naked Shorts (Transcript) is still available on Bloomberg.com. This interview, coupled with Dr. Byrne's explosive slide presentation of the not-so-hidden corruption in our financial markets called, The Dark Side of the Looking Glass: the Corruption of Our Financial Markets, motivated me to do my own investigation. In my FSN Annual Year End Review for 2007, Part 1, I briefly touched the significance of my interview with Patrick Byrne. Since then and throughout 2008, I have personally witnessed this abhorrent and perverse action in junior mining shares. I am so appalled by this rampant abuse, that I began a series on Financial Sense Newshour's "The Big Picture" to expose this "Crime of the Century" [COTC] to our listeners. The quote "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" is often attributed to Edmund Burke. It is my fervent belief that Financial Sense visitors are identified as good men and women, who search for uncommon truth in their quest to become wise investors. In this regard, Financial Sense hopes to provide accurate information in this series so that we all can do something to stand against this evil practice of naked short selling.

MUST LISTEN TODAY!!

July 12, 2008 Special interview:

The Greatest Crime in History

Jim Puplava's interview with Bob Burrell exposes the rampant naked short selling of the past 30 years which has led to the the destruction of the financial markets leading the meltdown of the US and world economies that you see today. This interview exposes that this has been pervasive throughout all the financial markets and the game that is being played on a global scale... Please take the time to at least to pass it on to your friends even if you have no interest, because the knowledge in this interview may have a lasting effect on their lives, and listen to it yourself. It is to say the least, a real "eye opener."

This whole debacle looks to be setting up the Bank For International Settlements as the new global central bank overseeing the whole global financial industries including insurance, mortgage, and banking.

These are the same owners of the Federal Reserve PRIVATE Bank who are running this game, and saying that the Fed is being shut down is just smoke and mirrors, and a precursor to the globalization of what was the US national economic system and the sovereignty of our nation. You better wake up America before you have nothing left! ~ The White Rose Resistance

How big is the delivery failure problem? Try $67+ billion as of Q1, 2007, for just NYSE member firms - and that is at today's mark to market value, not the price at which the sales were made - likely 5-10X or more higher. See the totals for yourself in the Securities Industry Association's own summary of NYSE member firm financial performance, and contrast that to the DTCC/SEC's $6 billion fairy tale. Lines 69 and 103.
