Smoking Out The Billionaires Hiding in NYC
Posted on 11 October 2011.
Occupy Wall Street has been a phenomenal awakening–and I have been proud to be a part of the non-sleepover (wimp…) outer ring of regular marchers.

Banks Trying To Crush Reform–Another Reason For OccupyWallStreet
Posted on 05 October 2011.
I have maintained for a long time that nothing is changing in the financial system–we are being left with the same basic game and the same people who are running the game. And, indeed, led by J.P. Morgan’s Jamie Dimon–who was, for a very long time, a go-to guy on Wall Street for the […]

A Window On The Banking Elite
Posted on 07 April 2010.
The Wall Street Journal has an illiuminating piece about Jamie Dimon, the CEO of J.P. Morgan, today.
