    A bank that received $1.6 billion dollars of the government’s bailout money sponsored what reports are calling a lavish series of events in Los Angeles, California, last weekend.

    Northern Trust, based in Chicago, Illinois, spent an undisclosed amount of money sponsoring a Professional Golf Association tournament and associated client events, including concerts, dinners and parties, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.com.

    The bank spent millions of dollars on the event, which included — on top of the sponsorship costs of the Northern Trust Open tournament — concerts by Sheryl Crow and Earth Wind & Fire, a private party at music venue House of Blues and gift bags from Tiffany & Co., the Web site said.

    According to TMZ.com’s report, employees and clients attending the tournament dined on seared salmon and petite Angus filet and stayed at some of Los Angeles’ most elegant and expensive hotels.

      WHY DONT WE ALL TAKE ALL THIS MADNESS AND THIRST FOR JUSTICE TO THE STREETS. Let’s get off the monitor and take it out there where it works. What do you say ha?

      Anyone seconds me?

      Lets give it a date and a place and lets start a Riot.

      Who is with me?

      RIOT -
      - A public disturbance involving (1) an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons, which act or acts shall constitute a clear and present danger of, or shall result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual or (2) a threat or threats of the commission of an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons having, individually or collectively, the ability of immediate execution of such threat or threats, where the performance of the threatened act or acts of violence would constitute a clear and present danger of, or would result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual. 18 USC

      please do not advocate the commission of illegal activities.

      a good alternative to rioting would be arresting and trying the individuals who are clearly committing treason, fraud, embezzlement, etc. etc. etc. etc.

      As long as people reason like this nothing will change. These bastards are obviously above the law yet you condone the unwashed masses abide by it.

      Enjoy your grazing sheep – I’m with Lee.

      You stating the corporations imaginary laws is supposed to have what effect?? And you suggest arresting them and trying them in the courts they own?? The whole system is in their f---ing pockets if you havn’t realized that! The only thing thats gonna change anything is these scumbags being drug out into the streets and executed in front of crowds of people!

      Playing into their hands…

      Think it through. If you start a riot, what will happen?

      Riot police will come and arrest you. Then governments will start installing curfews, passing more gun laws and they will become more violent. In short, you will give them the excuse they want to further implement police state policies.

      Don’t get mad. Get even.

      It is time for revolution. But the only revolution that will be effective against the central bankers is a monetary revolution.

      If you stop using the filthy money that they supply to you, their banking system will dissolve. When you switch to an alternative currency the bankers will no longer be able to steal from you through inflation and usury. You will not be dependent upon them for credit and you will no longer be dictated to by the politicians that the bankers employ.

      Don’t fight the system:
      Replace it

      Tell that to guy with a family to feed,peaceful protests will do jack s---.

      ARM-RESIST Reply:

      You actually think they are gonna allow that to happen?? You think they are just gonna roll over and die? give up their power over us? cut their losses and walk away? Your only fooling yourself. they will find an excuse to go ahead with their plans. If it isn’t causing civil unrest through economic collapse, starvation and homelessness, they will just stage another act of terrorism. They are going to war with us regardless of what we do.

      LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU DUMB f---S OUT THERE:

      RIOTS=MARTIAL LAW

      MARTIAL LAW=FEMA CAMPS

      FEMA CAMPS=DEATH

      YOU DONT FIGHT UNTIL THEY FIRE THE FIRST SHOT
      ONLY THEN CAN WE START OUR REVOLUTION
      THEN “WE” HAVE THE EXCUSE TO REBEL, NOT THEM!!!!!!!

      AND NOT TO MENTION IF YOU START RIOTING, YOUR JUST DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE ELITE WANTS YOU TO DO. FIGHTING PATRIOTS ARE TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND FAMILY, NOT TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY. READ A BOOK INSTEAD OF WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THE GREECE RIOTS YOU ASSHOLES

      Well at least two FEMA camps guards are going down! So take me to a CAMP. I dare you!

      ARM-RESIST Reply:

      you protest these days and you get arrested for rioting and terrorism anyway!!!

      The time for talking is over people! Its time for action. No one is gonna hold these theives accountable unless we do it ourselves. They will just keep taking and taking and taking while we starve to death in the streets!

      Theres gonna be martial law either way. If we don’t cause it, they will, with provocatuer agents, or another false terrorist attack.

      Just protecting yourselves and your family, your an easy target. one by one you get hunted down and rounded up and taken away, if not killed.

      Our founding fathers new when it was time to fight, why don’t we??
      I suggest you read a book about the revolution ASSHOLE

      BobLeeSwagger Reply:

      While I can certainly understand the outrage and I do agree that there is no such thing as reason with such assholes, don’t riot just yet- wait until they fire the first shot, then unload every last bullet you got into their collective faces. At this point the sides are congealing, those who love liberty and the constitution and everyone else. When that line is drawn, then is the time to act but rioting today will only hurt, not help- let’s get as much info and intel as we can about these dickheads, and if it comes to violence, let’s bring them such violence that they and their kind will never forget it.

      The ultimate demise of the Roman Empire was when the “mob” [the people] realized that in their DEMOCRACY they could vote themselves free bread, circuses & holidays. It seems that NOW the bankers are doing the same thing, without the vote of course. They just BUY the government instead.

      thats pretty random for tmz to report that lol

      well no surprise there, the banksters are probably scratching their own heads giggling at how they got away with this :(

      Here comes the moderation again

    17. Toecutter Says:

      The bankers loot, not really it’s called booty or prize under Maritime law. All the property in America is being seized as prize and their cleaning out the banks and private accounts first next it will be your property.

      50 USC § 213. Jurisdiction of confiscation proceedings Such prizes and capture shall be condemned in the district court of the United States having jurisdiction of the amount, or in admiralty in any district in which the same may be seized, or into which they may be taken and proceedings first instituted.

      As the Sec. of treasury Geithner pass billions out to bankers that loot the country and give it to their buddy’s who pass around some good bonuses and nice perks. I mean they earned it. Right after such a great showing last year. Right. They probably all got blisters on their fingers from dialing their cell phones to talk with their other thieving boyfriends and have a good laugh. They are filling their pockets with everything of value they can before their escape. When it all starts to go down the krapper the banker klan will depart the country run into hiding and it will go to s--- in a hurry. Obammy will take the heat for the collapse and this nation may sink into civil war.

      In the meantime we just sit here. They know now is the only time we could stop them but it would take a massive tumultuous movement of Citizens all across this nation simultaneously by force of arms.

      How about a ‘General Strike’ but only in reverse. We pick a Two Week period,say, 6 months from now. In the meantime,everytime you go grocery shopping you stockpile a little extra food. You gas up your vehicle as normal,but you fill a jerrycan(s) every so often.

      On the BIG DAY you go to work or about your business as normal,EXCEPT WE DON’T BUY ANYTHING for TWO WEEKS,OK,not a thing.

      Granted,some businesses would not be affected eg. Your company would be buying material/supplies from the wholesaler. This would create a situation where some businesses would be busy and others not busy. NOW SEE HOW FAST ‘s--- HITS THE FAN’ !!!!!!!!!!!

      To get something like this to happen would not be hard in theory.
      It would even be better if one could go INTERNATIONALLY on this!
