Anti-Mormon Insults, or Cheap Journalism.

Father, Son Used Mormon Faith To Lure Investors In $220M Ponzi Scheme, SEC Says

MY TAKE

It is a shame that the Forbes editors and Halah Touryalai as well as Google are showing their true colors in cheap writing by implying bigotry or anti-Mormon sentiment.

My E-mail headline notice is: “Mormons Duped Investors Out Of $220 Million In Ponzi Scheme, SEC Says.” My first reaction was: I never duped anyone, why am I being falsely accused? Thinking back about Madoffs’ (perhaps father and sons) news, never did I read anything like “Jew or Jews duped investor out of billions.” Because religion is a sensitive issue, and accusing all Jews of one person’s crime would definitely get lots of journalists and editors fired; and it would be rightly done.

However, the same justice was not done by Forbes, nor Halah Touryalai, even less by the Google editors who send E-mail notices.

Halah Touryalai’s headline: “Two members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are being charged by the SEC with securities fraud.” Halah is smarter the writing the same headline and replacing the words Mormons by Jews – in Madoff’s case. What the headline is showing is simply anti-Mormon feelings. In all the news, I never noticed the word synagogue or Jewish, associated with Madoff. Likewise, I expect the same professionalism when the issue involves my religion.

Crooks are everywhere, Jesus’ twelve apostles had one crook among them, and He knew it. Crooks have not respect for religion, political party or ethnic background; why than bring religion into the news when the problem was money. I would see it appropriate to even mention religion to show the extent of the fraudulent people; but including a blanket over a religion is unacceptable.

I, being a convert to the LDS church, thus nicknamed “Mormon”, demand an apology from each of the culprits in this insult. For, as stated above, I never duped anyone, nor do I deal dishonestly with anyone. Shame on Forbes, and on Halah, and on Google.

Why we are sinking

My Take

Now we can see that there are no crooks in Wall Street, and no crooks in Government; they are just family helping each-other. If the articles is correct. This is the most despicable of all acts under the Obama II Administration. But the dirt involves more than one administration.

Where are the Quality Control processes for the Government. It is no wonder why the greatest country in the world is sinking faster than the Tintanic in proportion; we have more arrogant and more corruption inbbeded in our government than the Titanic did. How can congress let a watchdog not being watched.

According to the article, the SEC is running like hiring the Hell’s Angles to police the drug cartels.

Now, the question is starting to rise: How much are the SEC chiefs getting in their underground accounts? We all know that the SEC boys and girls are Wall Street lovers, like teenagers switching just boyfriends or girlfriends, just for the heck of it.

We have had both republicans and democrats controlling congress. But congress missed that too. Is that the clue why we sinking fast? Them professional politicians are just interested in getting reelected and caring for their flocks.

This is proof that when a country is run by money, it dies by money. It is called “Not giving a damn”. A capitalist’s conscious is like a street dog in a butcher-shop.
