Justice . . .

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/274953782780

Foreclosing on widows homes

Is one thing I’ve not done.

But if truth be told

That’s only one.

The life that I led before

Left nothing to be desired.

High on the hog until 

My luck expired.

Otherwise blameless.

Upstanding citizen true.

So exemplary am I.

How upright I stand.

One lie here.

There one little fraud.

I’m just a man.

Lying; tampering; a plea deal.

Polling; disinformation; spike heel.

Recommended sentencing

Was max one score plus five.

Thanks, though, to judge Friend-of-Mine,

I’ll be revived.

Otherwise
from the forthcoming "Grains"

What's Changed? . . .

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)

". . . Hamilton's name appeared on a petition that called upon the state legislature to end the New York slave trade and that deplored the plight of blacks exported "like cattle and other articles of commerce. . .". . . This petition was signed by an illustrious cavalcade of dignitaries who would shortly be divided by bitter partisan wrangling over the Constitution and other issues. . . "

How Much? . . .

 

https://www.flexco.com/NA/EN/Flexco/Industries/Grain.htm

Whenever you call me

And I’m not on the phone,

If you have a problem

And you find me at home,

You know you can

Count on me that much.

If you said you need me,

Just a couple days, I’m there.

I’ll drop what I’m doing

If it’s something I don’t care about

You can count on me that much.

Ours is just like one of those fairytales.

Ours is just like one of those shows. 

One thing bout our love that’s different;

It’s not a love that grows.

I’ll always be with you

When there’s nothing else to do.

When everyone’s busy

There’ll be only me and you.

It’s clear you can count on me that much.

Would you say it’s all you’ve been hoping for?

Would you really prefer something new?

Where else would you get this much

Attention devoted to you?

So don’t think you’re not special.

You’re kind of special to me.

There’s no one else like you.

Well maybe there’s just two or three.

Be sure you can count on me that much.

        Black & White Then Back

Chromatose . . .

 

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/music

Much can be said on varied and many

That soothe, cajole or stigmatize.

We search.  We seek

Escapes and diversions

Well to the point of ad nauseam.

Effective though, I seem to find,

The remedy, constant, that comes to mind

Is music, resulting in state that is close

To condition described best

As chromatose.

(from https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/nov/06/how-nfts-non-fungible-tokens-are-shaking-up-the-art-world) 

". . . Much of what counts for art history consists of flattering portrayals of the rich and powerful, and artists have long been expected to perform what Tom Wolfe called the Art Mating Ritual – attracting the interest of wealthy patrons and conservative institutions, while simultaneously presenting as Bohemians and renegades. Yet with the NFT, the distinction between art and asset seems to have disappeared. . ."

Peek . , .

https://ascmag.com/articles/the-thing-from-another-world-1951

(from https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/nov/06/how-nfts-non-fungible-tokens-are-shaking-up-the-art-world) 

". . . A motley crew of celebrities have tried their hand at selling digital art, including Snoop Dogg, Lindsay Lohan and John Cleese. In July, it was estimated that sales of NFTs in the first half of 2021 rose by more than $2bn (£1.47bn) – a trend that prompted Christie’s and Sotheby’s to host their own NFT auctions and that is credited with driving contemporary art sales to an all-time high. But only a tiny proportion of the proceeds of art NFTs have ended up in the bank accounts of the galleries that have, in addition to auction houses, traditionally taken the lion’s share of art-market profits. . . In March, the crypto firm Injective Protocol paid $95,000 for Morons, a physical artwork by Banksy depicting an auctioneer selling a framed picture bearing the words: “I can’t believe you morons actually buy this shit.” They then burned the picture before selling a digital token of the work for $380,000. . .

For The Ride

Which . . .

. . to believe

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/angel-and-

devil-on-the-woman-shoulders

(from https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/put-paid/)

". . . Highly publicized allegations of insider trading in advance of 9/11 generally rest on reports of unusual pre-9/11 trading activity in companies whose stock plummeted after the attacks. Some unusual trading did in fact occur, but each such trade proved to have an innocuous explanation. For example, the volume of put options — instruments that pay off only when a stock drops in price — surged in the parent companies of United Airlines on September 6 and American Airlines on September 10 — highly suspicious trading on its face. Yet, further investigation has revealed that the trading had no connection with 9/11. A single U.S.-based institutional investor with no conceivable ties to al Qaeda purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included buying 115,000 shares of American on September 10. Similarly, much of the seemingly suspicious trading in American on September 10 was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades. The SEC and FBI, aided by other agencies and the securities industry, devoted enormous resources to investigating this issue, including securing the cooperation of many foreign governments. These investigators have found that the apparently suspicious consistently proved innocuous. . ."

(from https://truthout.org/articles/911-terrorists-made-millions-on-the-stock-market/)

". . . a former senior manager (Major Fraud and International Enforcement) with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), notes that the German Stock Market Commission reported that in the days before 9/11, derivatives traded on underwriter Munchener Ruck were twice normal volumes. Munchener Ruck’s share price dropped 22 per cent after the attacks. . .On 7 September 2001, the number of ‘put options’* on British Airways was four times normal volumes. British Airways shares dropped 42 per cent over the following week. . . Between 6-7 September, 4 744 put options were bought on United Airlines, six times the normal volumes. Assuming that 4 000 of these options were bought by terrorists with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these ‘insiders’ would have profited by almost $5 million. . . On 10 September, 4 516 put options were bought on American Airlines, 285 times normal volumes. Assuming that 4 000 of these options were purchased by ‘terrorist insiders’, they would have netted a gain of about $4 million. . ."
