“It started for me with an e-mail from fellow journalist Diane Tucker at the Huffington Post, telling me she’d received a comment to her recent blog from one “Shawn Brandom.” And that Brandom didn’t appear to be who he said he was.”

my post at huffington post was merely to help our cause and to get mark’s articles into as many hands as possible.

yes i happen to believe patrick byrne is right. in most every thing he says.
i joined the fight when i had my own experience with my brokers.(wells trade investments/wells fargo) long story short…
i bought stock the stock made money i went to sell my stock my broker said i didnt own that stock,therefore i cant sell what i dont own. yes i have all the documents from wells trade that documents my purchase.
for your informtion i am just a regular fella. i invested with the hope that i could pay off my home. i am no one special. when my broker stole my investment i took a huge hit. just like you if someone stole from you i am sure you would pursue the culprit.

want to say hey?

have a good day.

Talk about manipulation of stocks!!!!! Oh my God!!! May there be plenty of indictments to go around. The deception, the lies, the corruption, is all out in the open, and could not be any better exemplified by Markopolous’s testimony before Congress, concerning Madoff and his Ponzi Scheme.

Wo to suggest there is nothing to this is absurd. When the former Chairman of Nasdaq is caught red-handed with his hand in a 50 Billion dollar cookie jar, how difficult is it to imagine crooked Journalists writing crooked articles, with information from crooked hedge fund managers, who influence crooked stock analysts????

And none of it has made the Mainstream Press? As far as I’m concerned,
Barrons, CNBC, Fortune Magazine, the NY Times, and Businessweek all
are culpable.

There’s 3 kinds of lies: Outright Lies, Lying by ommission, and Statistics, and everyone named above, et. al, should all come before a Grand Jury.
I have no doubt in my mind, there will be indictments flying by Truth Doves, dropping them on windows of the indicted, with a splat felt similar
by those whose portfolios were destroyed by all you perps.

In addition to Patrick Byrne the inept CEO, and Patrick Byrne and Conspiracymonger, and Patrick Byrne the Narcissist/Character Assassin, there’s a pose he assumes every now and then, which is Patrick Byrne the Thinker, advancing right wing causes.

So we have Patrick Byrne the Educational Thinker, pushing what has been called the “65% Deception.” http://www.65percentdeceptionfacts.com/

Here is a lifelong committed bachelor, who grew up attending private schools paid for by his billionaire father, posing as an expert in education.

But Byrne is not being accepted by the political right because he is too much of a loon: http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/10/business/10nocera.html

“Though no one will say so publicly, the word is that Utah officials now feel they were snookered by the Overstock C.E.O. And that his behavior at that meeting further damaged his credibility. And that, even though he is one of the state’s largest political donors, he is going to have a hard time ever getting the Legislature to take him seriously again.”

86 comments. Mother Jones is now part of the conspiracy.

Once someone criticizes Paddy or the Paddy-Whackers, the insane attacks begin. And being accused of being connected to the mob is par for the course with these NSS Delusioners!

They are all nucking futs! But dangerous…

Is anybody running a wager pool on how long it takes before Wolfram is linked to the mob?

They build a house of cards and keep it standing for years with the power of ‘assholery’.”

Totally unfunny, uninspired……….yawn. And weiss. You guys need to be running the drum press at Leavenworth. I’m sure you’ll love spinning your yellow-matter custard to true psychopaths. You may even like it and do a Richard Speck where you can use estrogen to enhance body parts for those attracted to your charms.

But really. You’re like dinner guests who won’t go home. You lost. You’re beat, washed up. The people hate you. Like they hate crooked brokerage firms, and politicians who throw money away, and do the dirty work of crooked money changers. You won’t like what’s coming. Why not slither away in the night? Get a new identity. Maybe you can get a job at some midwestern motel complex. Clapboard siding, neon light right outside your window flashing “vacanc_”, “vacanc_”………flashing on and off. Blowup doll behind the curtain in the lobby for those long nights when you’re on duty.. Chairs covered in vinyl, dim lighting. Always wondering when we’re going to come and get you. It’ll be great.

This isn’t even fun anymore. You’re just a pathetic never was, who aspired to who knows what, for reasons no one will ever know, or even care about. Have a good evening.

Well I guess I have more than one comment. The top of corporate America is apparently slap full of talentless blowhard wannabes that get to where they are by force of personality (in other words they’re sociopathic assholes who can smooze all the right people and at the same time crush all the right people) and have absolutely nothing of real value to contribute to anything. They build a house of cards and keep it standing for years with the power of ‘assholery’.

It is really impressive what the power of ‘assholery’ can do, but is it something you want to build a company on?

You wrote, “I think that post up there at the top, by that guy Lenofus, is kind of creeping me out.”

Here is what Lenofus said about Patrick Byrne in a comment on another blog:

“Patrick Byrne is a Man God and his image should be cast in Gold and displayed in the offices of the SEC. You imps are not worthy of his presence as he enlightens only those who believe.”

Lenofus is not only creepy, he is INSAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@the uninitiated: Dale is referring to the nonprofit penny stocks that Judd shills for by promoting the NSS cause for Wacky Patty. There’s CMKX, which is a worthless mining company that successfully deluding its thousands of shareholders that their problem was not a bad company but “naked short selling.” Altomare was jailed for ripping off investors in his company. He is another NSS complainer.
