NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - In what is looming as another public relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today that it made “a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico” one day before the sinking of an oil rig in that body of water.

The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice “Fabulous Fab” Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a “big short” position on the Gulf.

“One oil rig goes down and we’re going to be rolling in dough,” Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. “Suck it, fishies and birdies!”


Comment by American Grand Jury:

This represents what is wrong with society and our culture today. It is all about money, greed and cheating. Obama and Goldman Sachs take their marching orders from the same “evil” globalist bankers that believe this is how you enslave a Nation and turn it into a New World Order.

    This insidious attitude is so pervasive throughout our country, and throughout our world in general! Remember a few years ago, the Enron scandal? I recall seeing e-mails between power company employees who were gloating about profits as they gleefully re-routed and shut off electrical power for no other reason than that they could.
    This particular statement from the Goldman-Sachs employee is particularly disturbing to ME because it implies that there may have been prior knowledge or at least a suspicion that this horrible situation would occur, and no one saw fit to mention it.

    This just goes to show how these evil people care less what happens to anyone as long as they can make the mighty buck! That guy from Goldman Sachs better stay away from the Gulf Coast we are not very happy right about now our beautiful white beaches are getting ready to be trashed and the people who make their living off from the Gulf are going to be hurting soon. This so called accident has “False Flag” written all over it.

    Like I’ve recently said, following all that corruption is like listening to a bad soap opera. And like a soap opera, it never ends. Everyday I am amazed of all the new evil that is occuring in this world. The imagination that these corrupted elites unfolds to enslave us is breathtaking!

    I knew the Dems were up to something. They like to create a diversion so they can push this stuff through. They are pushing through an Immigration Law that will give amnesty to all 12 million.

    Money has controlled it all for thousands of years, and for those who deny they are absolutely stupid.

    I wish the gubment would have responded to the gulf explosion like they did to the Haiti earthquake!

    You can bet your life goldman sachs had inside infor on this disaster; they are connected at the hip with obo and company and anything that happens in this world is because the oligarchy wants it to.

    Lindsey Williams in his new video’s (January of this year) stated that gasoline would go to around $8 a gallon by the end of the year so you had to know something was going to happen to cause the increase. His information comes right out of the horses mouth, one of the members of the elite, oligarchy. You can watch the 3 part series on you tube. That is just the tip of the iceberg they have much more planned for us this year, or there abouts like the devaluation of the dollar by approximately 50%.

    I think the one thing that I find most disturbing is that no matter what they do or dont’ do, it gets leaked to us and they just don’t care. Their is no embarrassment, no excuses not one thing. They are so arrogant and brazen in their behavior it is almost like they are looking at us and saying, “what do you think your going to do about it?”

    What can we do about it, nothing. This has been going on now for well over twenty years, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush and now oboma. Lies, deception and more lies and all. “in your face” and we seem to be totally helpless to stop it.

    Our only answer is God but I am not sure why He should help us.

    Keeping the faith and praying for all.

    Breaking News:

    They just caught the NYC Bomber, a Palestinian born Naturalized US Citizen, at the airport on his way to Dubai. Wasn’t it in Dubai where Rupert Murdoch moved News Corp.(Fox News Channel)to? Hummmmm! We cannot forget the fact that Barry went to Palestine in the 80’s and was a CIA operative and he worked with the Taliban. Barry’s fingerprints are all over this bombing incident.

    Faisal has not said what his motivation was, or at least it was not reported…If he says he did it because of US actions somewhere, we will hear of it…If he say he did it to further the causes of Allah, which is the only reason for jihad, it probably will not be reported…It’s really odd how these misunderstanders of Islam, always misunderstand it in exactly the same way…

    What about all the shorts or puts place on 911 by individuals and foreign banks?

    Problem - Reaction – Solution

    (International Banking) - Outrage – (A trial for all of them)

    There is very little that happens anymore just by chance!

    Here it is…from Jihad Watch.

    Three militant Methodists taken off New York-Dubai flight — no, wait…

    The Times Square jihadist, Faisal Shahzad, was arrested while trying to flee to Dubai. “Three passengers taken off New York-Dubai flight,” from AFP, May 4 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

    DUBAI (AFP) - Emirates Airlines said on Tuesday that three passengers were removed from a New York-Dubai flight, after US officials said a suspect in an attempted New York bombing was arrested trying to fly to Dubai.

    “Emirates can confirm that its flight EK 202 (from New York to Dubai on May 3)… was called back by the local authorities prior to departure. Three passengers were removed from the flight,” the airline said in a statement.

    “Full security procedures were activated, including the deplaning of all passengers and a thorough screening of the aircraft, passengers, and baggage. Emirates is cooperating with the local authorities,” it said.

    US officials said earlier that a Pakistani-American suspect in an attempted car bombing on Saturday in New York’s Times Square was arrested while trying to flee on flight from New York to Dubai….

    Bob,

    This article is a hoax. The author, Andy Borowitz, is a political “humorist.” Just go to his website and you’ll see.

  13. DanH Says:

    The writer of this article is basically accusing Goldman Sachs had insider knowledge of sabotage despite not buttressing his claim with detailed information. This maybe the case but it’s going to take much more information than he provides for such a claim to be proven true.

    Oops! I meant to say “Pakistani-born” and not Palestinian-born.

  15. Paula Jones Says:

    I have submitted printed artical to Acadia Parash Law enforcement and they are very interest in prosecute this horrible crime. We need more people to print out this from Huffinton site and bring it attention to those who write warrent arrest of Mr. Goldman and Mr Sachs for this crime.
