BANKSTERS MUST BE PET SCANNED TO REMAIN AT EXECUTIVE LEVEL! = IF FRONTAL LOBES ARE DULE THEY MUST GO!

Click for Outstanding Salon Article by Dean A Haycock

The brain of a psychopathic killer = Seen on PET brain scans = “the neural circuitry and genetics of creativity, artistic talent, psychopathology, criminal behavior, and levels of consciousness.” = Neuroscientist who can predict murderers. = No single gene makes someone violent or psychopathic. = Sluggishness in Frontal lobe = Warrior Gene (MAOA-L discovered in late 1980‘s) linked to violence + genes associated with antisocial behavior, low anxiety, and low empathy. = Easily lose their tempers + aggressive = assault, arson, rape, and murder.

TED TALK by Jim Fallon

Genetic variation for development of psychopathy limiting metabolism of the neurotransmitter serotonin. = Scans can SPOT major depression + schizophrenia + pattern in psychopaths = showed inactivity in the prefrontal orbital cortex = Identified 30 murderers perfectly.

One subgroup had amygdaloid and cingulate cortex type of activity = psychopaths.

PET SCANS spotted those with prefrontal cortex differences without amygdala and cingulate involvement = Impulsive or reactive murderers = killed in a hot-blooded emotional manner as opposed to the cold-blooded manner characteristic of criminal psychopaths.

Murderers = Darkness in prefrontal cortices = impaired metabolism = lack of neuronal activity = reduced glucose metabolism in their frontal lobes

PET scans spot those in certifiable psychopathic range = Few murderers are high-scoring psychopaths. = Kill from stress or isolation or anger or jealousy or criminal lifestyles reasons. 50% of Americans are killed by someone they knew and 25% were family members. 43% during arguments and 23% were crime victims.

75% of criminals have antisocial personality disorder – including sociopaths but only 20% of criminals are true psychopaths. Scans of the murderers are often identical to those of certified psychopaths.

Biological psychiatry can pinpoint the brain of a murderer by examining the prefrontal cortex. = Your frontal lobes = Your Forehead from eyes up and extend halfway back across the top of your brain. = Controls some of the most sophisticated higher brain functions = planning your future + weighing risks + worrying what might go wrong + getting along with others + controlling your sex drive = using your frontal lobes = Makes use different from chimpanzees = We express much more complex pattern of gene expression (proteins) in our frontal lobes compared to apes = human frontal lobes are more complex than chimpanzee frontal lobes in signaling pathways and neuron connections more elaborate than those of the great apes. = process information more efficiently and at a more sophisticated level.

Frontal Lobe = Thinking and planning + Antisocial, criminal, and psychopathic behavior

Orbitofrontal cortex and adjacent ventromedial prefrontal cortex = Biological basis of psychopathy and antisocial behavior = A sense of ethics, morality, and social cooperation + put a brake on impulses and drives. Dysfunction = Impulsiveness and aggression closely linked to psychopathy and antisocial behavior

“It’s the part of the brain that allows us to say, ‘Don’t do that! Don’t say that! It’s not appropriate! There are going to be consequences!’” — Dr. Jonathan Pincus, Georgetown University psychiatrist

PET scan = Healthy orbitofrontal cortex glows with bright patches of red and yellow to indicate brain cells actively sucking up and burning glucose for energy as they keep nerve impulses flowing and neurons communicating with each other.

PET scan = DULL GREY orbitofrontal cortex = Desirable glow is missing in the brains of those with psychopathic traits = recklessness + get into fights + victimize others.

PET scan = DULL GREY orbitofrontal cortex = Intellectual ability is commonly unaffected. = We get some very High intellect criminals = Like Wall Street. = “There was no pain; it was a clean wound”

High intellect and verbal intelligence can be in parallel with psychopathic or criminal tendencies. = Intelligence and writing skills are incompatible with criminal or psychopathic behaviors. = A man or woman may be able to write like a sage and still be a remorseless killer.

Psychopathy = “Superficial charm and good ‘intelligence’” — Hervey Cleckley placed at the top of his list of psychopathic traits. = But less-intelligent psychopaths get caught and sent to prison while more-intelligent psychopaths tend to move into corporate or political occupations, or else manage not to get caught. = psychopaths range widely in intelligence.

Structural MRIs saw less gray-matter volume in the orbitofrontal cortex of people with antisocial personality disorder and high psychopathy scores around 28 out of 40.

Brain = A highly complex structure consisting of billions of interconnected units. = A lesion anywhere in the brain can contributing to troubling behavior by interrupting communication pathways in the prefrontal cortex.

CHRISTIE = Declared with absolute certainty that “We don’t have an inequality problem.” SOLUTION = CREATE “opportunity” for WHO = $BILLIONAIRES TO SCAM

Mc Connell = Never said the word “inequality” = “the greatest con game” = redistribution “is good for the little guy.” = “the rich have gotten richer, the poor have gotten poorer, and the middle class is being squeezed like never before.” = “never before has it been so hard for the rich to become poor or for the poor to become rich.”

SHOCKING DEALS BEHIND BANKSTER FINES = REAL REASON NO PRISON TIME

March 9, 2014 by concisepolitics

SHOCKING DEALS BEHIND BANKSTER FINES = REAL REASON NO PRISON TIME

Click to see Money Morning Article Feb 2014

Banks settle charges for violating rules, regulations, and laws but they NEVER reveal how much money is really being paid or where it’s going…or the kinds of settlements reached = Tax deductible fines + “Credits” for fines they never pay…or how insurance covers some of it…

Shockingly = Massive Penalties Are either Quieted or never see the light of day = “confidential” as regulators agree with bank lawyers that their clients are exposed to “reputational risk” from wrongdoings typically “neither admit nor deny,” could impact the health of the bank. = “Systemic risk” = Public’s will NEVER trust THEM again and folks will withdraw money from law-breaking banks = GOV agrees to Avoid having to bail out remaining depositors if banks eventually fail.

FACT: Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Improvement Act of 1991 mandates settlements be made public

But FDIC ignores this when it fined Deutsche Bank $54 million for packaging and selling bad mortgage-backed securities to a failed bank = No one heard about it. = LA Times, “The deal might have made big headlines, given that the bad loans contributed to the largest payout in FDIC history, $13 billion.” = Deal cut with the bank’s lawyers to keep it quiet violating FDIC REQUIREMENTS.

But FDIC ignores law in 2013 for Wells Fargo according to the Financial Times = Wells “allegedly misleading disclosures on mortgage securities” it sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Real Reason No One Goes to Jail = A FORM OF BLACKMAIL = YOU HURT MY REPUTATION AND THE MIDDLE CLASS HAS TO BAIL ME OUT! = Too-big-to-fail = TOO BIG TO STOP FRAUD!

Banks only face civil charges for their CRIMES and pay “A COST-OF-DOING-BUSINESS” fines = USUALLY A SLAP ON THE WRIST of 1% to 2% of their BENEFITS FROM THEIR CRIMES!

BANKS AND EXECUTIVES = ARE NEVER assigned criminal prosecutions of any banks or banker EXECUTIVES. = Too-big-to-jail = TOO BIG TO STOP FRAUD!

NO GOV Agencies bringing civil actions against BIG BANKS can pursue them criminally = EXTREME Egregious cases are sent to the Department of Justice. = BUT DOJ DOES NOTHING = LANNY BREUER + HOLDER = Covington & Burling LAW FIRM REVOLVING DOORS = PROTECTS BIGGEST BANKS!

LANNY said in 2012 speech to NYC BAR Association = “To be clear, the decision of whether to indict a corporation, defer prosecution, or decline altogether is not one that I, or anyone in the Criminal Division, take lightly. We are frequently on the receiving end of presentations from defense counsel, CEOs, and economists who argue that the collateral consequences of an indictment would be devastating for their client. In my conference room, over the years, I have heard sober predictions that a company or bank might fail if we indict, that innocent employees could lose their jobs, that entire industries may be affected, and even that global markets will feel the effects.”

Lanny returned to Covington & Burling for $4 Million/Year for a JOB WELL DONE for their clients BIGGEST ON WALL STREET.

BANKS and Banksters caught breaking laws = slap on the wrist + get gifts of Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) and Non-Prosecution Agreements (NPAs). = Alternative to indictments = “achieved official acceptance” in place of a criminal conviction and sentence. = Corporate misconduct greeted with MEANINGLESS – PROMISING TO OBEY THE LAW + COOPERATE WITH GOV + PROMISE TO FOLLOW RIGOROUS COMPLIANCE MEASURES + PAY A “COST-OF-DOING-BUSINESS” FINE!

Where does the Fine Money Land? = SEC + CFTC + FHFA + FREC regulators overseeing the Lords of the Banking Underworld negotiate settlement fines with bank’s FRAUD LAWYERS = Negotiate their deferred prosecution = DPAs and NPAs confidentiality + demand “neither admit nor deny” allegations + fines!

SEC NOW requires “admissions of misconduct” = Harbinger Capital Partners + JPM

As Lawyers negotiate how much they will pay, they are negotiating who they will pay it to + What they pay in cash + WHO THEY PAY + Other restitution + Credit for costs to help the harmed + PROMISES not to commit the same violations again.

WHO THE BANKS PAY = Banks HATE paying the federal government = NO Deductions or write-offs = GOOD FEDS wants monies paid to reduce the deficit.

WHO THE BANKS PAY = Pay “get out of jail” money because they are guilty of violations and crimes = State attorneys general get money for their state + SEC extracts fines in a Fair Fund = Returned all money to victims + Leftover goes to Treasury. Regulatory agencies get $ZERO to fund the agencies. = GOP CUTS AGENCIES’ FUNDING TO PROTECT THEIR BRIBING CRIMINALS! SENATOR WARREN’S CFTC SUFFERS GOP HOUSE STRANGULATION = GOP agriculture committees MEMBERS raise money for their political campaigns.

WHO THE BANKS PAY = JPM agreed to fine of $13 Billion for mortgage-related FRAUD =

= $4 Billion already paid to Fannie and Freddie
+ $3 Billion to States
+ $4 Billion in “credits” = Facilities to aid aggrieved homeowners = NO CASH
+ $2 Billion to DOJ
= $7 Billion write-off for JPM = IRS NEVER challenges big banks write-offs
+ Force borrowers to continue to be JPM clients
= Negotiations that the public never hears about.

$25 Billion Penalty settlement with 5 largest mortgage services: BofA + JPM + Wells + Citigroup + Ally Financial (GMAC) = 60% of the nation’s mortgages.

= $17 Billion to a series of national homeowner relief effort = principal reduction
= $3 Billion to underwater mortgage refinancing program
+ $5 Billion to states and federal government
+ Homeowners = Protections = new mortgage loan servicing + foreclosure rules

States can prosecute securitization claims as well as criminal cases.

Borrowers and investors = Can Sue regardless of agreement.

= Good deal for the banks because they get to write off all the “credits” they get for setting up these homeowner relief facilities + write off principal they “forgive.”

= HOMEOWNERS PAY TAX ON ANY AMOUNT FORGIVEN!

Homeowner making $40,000 in 2014 + Gets $100,000 mortgage reduction = Taxable income on $140,000 = Homeowners suffer FOR BANK FRAUD

Big banks who have to pay = DON’T = Insurance = FDIC will impose a fine on insurance to cover civil money penalties.

BANKS AND BANKSTERS = GETTING away with murder – well, almost = never-ending ringing cash registers. = That’s how the settlements games are rigged.
