Shame On You Rick Santelli

Rick Santelli Is a Typical CNBC Blind Man

The problem with Rick Santelli is that he had no clue about what happened in the housing crisis. He had no clue because he didn't understand that people were told lies as they took on toxic mortgages. First, they were often told that the mortgage rates were fixed. But more importantly, they were told that the mortgages will be able to be refinanced later. They were not told that house prices could decline, and the real estate agents were in on this as I listened to David Lereah (NAR) continually state that Real Estate willl bounce back because it rarely goes down.

Now I resisted these loans, and so did my daughter, because we were afraid to pay more for a house than it was worth. In other words, many of us understood that what must go up must come down. And we know what we are worth and what we could buy and it was unnatural for us to think we could qualify for mansions when we were not wealthy.

But persuasive real estate agents and mortgage agents were telling lies about the ability for real estate to always go up and about the certainty that you could refinance at a later date. Santelli seems to think that people should all have discerned these scams as obvious lies. I don't agree. I think that Santelli is really shilling for the banks here and is protecting the banks. He lives to protect the banks even though as a video below shows that he sometimes rails against the TBTF banks. In that respect, all of CNBC knows that their bread is buttered on the protection of Wall Street.

Wall Street is corrupt, Santelli. You are a part of it. You should be doing like Dylan Ratigan, who left CNBC because he spoke about getting clawbacks from bankers and about putting them in jail. I think the big bankers and the shadow banking system that they supported were predators. IF SANTELLI REFUSES TO SEE THAT HE IS A BLIND MAN.

Santelli's friends, Larry Kudlow and that dizzy blond, Melissa Frances literally live in a world that has no relationship to reality. They have, along with Rick Santelli, left reality and live on that foreign planet, New York City, propped up as it is by Wall Street. It frankly makes me sick. I am Sick of Rick Santelli and his friends.

And all you Tea Party people who take his side are pawns of Wall Street. If you don't see the true nature of the ponzi housing scam, you are falling into the hands of Wall Street by directing your anger at the victims and not the perpetrators. You are helping Wall Street while they are laughing at you!

Pick Another Hero For Your Tea Party.

Rick Santelli "Audit the Fed" Is Good. But Santelli Refuses To See That The RE Scam Came From the Central Banks. Class Warfare Was From the Top Down!

We Need To Just Boycott Stocks. Financial Markets Are Manipulated.

The problem with Jim Cramer, Rick Santelli and all the rest is that they have a vested interest in protecting the big banks. Santelli does occasionally state that the too-big-to-fail banks should be allowed to fail. But I don't believe that at the "end of the day" he would defend the consumers instead of the banks. That is proven by his position on the liar and adjustable loans, where Santelli defended the banks against the consumers who were clearly scammed.

CNBC, INCLUDING RICK SANTELLI, does not acknowledge that the central banks and the big international banks are at fault for the credit meltdown in a PLANNED EFFORT, that the big banks either bankrolled the shadow banking system or they purchased the shadow banks like Scumtrywide (Countrywide) and World Savings and Loan in order to protect themselves. The New World Order protects itself and we hope for it's failure as I wrote here!

We know that the big banks had investment arms that continually peddled crap bonds made up of liar loans. The Wall Street crowd supports these big banks. The ponzi housing scam originated in Basel, Switzerland at Basel 2. The ponzi scam of off balance sheet banking came from Basel 2. The Fed colluded in this behavior.

I have spoken about manipulation and the links below will give information in more detail. I don't see Rick Santelli attacking the financial system itself, and calling, as Dylan Ratigan did, for incarceration of the potentially guilty parties, including Goldman Sachs people.

So until CNBC decides to attack the big banks and Wall Street for its misdeeds, then we just need to boycott stocks. The market is manipulated. Here is a list of markets that are manipulated:

1. The Stock Market. The plunge protection team has been established by Ronald Reagan to prevent major declines in the market. It is still in place by law. The plunge protection team works until it doesn't and then the ones who know and are on the inside profit by declines. Volume is very low these days on the stock market, and Goldman Sachs and other traders are likely taking advantage of these low volumes to drive stocks up.

2. The bond market is manipulated by the Fed and central banks, who allowed Basel 2 ponzi off balance sheet banking, who buy treasuries to keep interest rates artificially low.

3. The oil market is manipulated as prices went from 32 dollars a barrel to 80 dollars while demand DECREASED.

4. The housing market is manipulated by two events. First, inventory is being withheld by the banks. Second, short sales are being discouraged by the banks, who prefer the tax advantages of foreclosures.I don't see Rick Santelli advocating the walking away from mortgages. He should advocate walking away from upside down mortgages, but the fact is he is speechless on this important subject.

5. The commodity markets besides oil are being manipulated. China and others are hoarding commodities such as copper, even though construction is declining.

Rick Santelli Is Right About the Banks Here But Has Defended Banks Against the Unsuspecting Consumer. Is He Two Faced?

Funny Take on the Market Manipulations and Banks

Thanks. It is not that Santelli has no good ideas. But he doesn't defend the consumers in the face of big bank abuse. It is typical of folks who know who pays their paychecks.

Santelli and Kramer and especially larry Kudlow leave a lot to be desired, to put it politely. In my opinion, among the very best guardians of investors' interests are Gretchen Morgenson and Floyd Norris at the NY Times. They don't seem to worry much about whose toes they're stepping on.

Here are a couple of class guys who really know their stuff!

I have watched cnbc for years. I am a retired banker. rick santella has said many times that the banks and shadow banking system should have been allowed to fail. you are not being fair. you know why you and your daughter didnt fall prey to snake oil salesman? because you took responsibility for your financial decisions. if we in this great country have citizens that cant resist--thru ignorance or choice---a snake oil salesman than we have to educate our citizens. seems to me that is what rick santella said today. i watched the spot in question.

Hi aworkerbee. I just don't buy the idea that all folks had the background we had to avoid this ponzi scam. And that is what it was, a scam. When the entire financial system is a snake oil salesman, supported by the corrupt government itself, then it is hard for the average guy to win. And no one has gone to jail for selling toxic crap and for frauding the entire world with the resulting CDO's!

Yes, I agree that Santelli said the bad banks should fail. But you and I know that won't happen. I don't hear Santelli saying to stop investing in a manipulated market or to walk away from loans that are toxic. He is a Wall Street man. He can't help himself.

Ralph thanks alot for your link. Good stuff. We need to hold the criminals accountable or just boycott stocks and all markets that require credit. I will put that link up.

aworkerbee 23 months ago

well bjamall I am getting concerned that you are not putting in enough research. I told you I have been watching cnbc for years. I remember when santella was a floor trader--IN CHICAGO....he is NOT WALL STREET. If you dont understand the huge difference between a futures guy and a wall street guy then i have to think you are just shooting your mouth off. In this same vein he constantly CONSTANTLY disses the fed and has said often that the price of stocks is NOT connected to reality. Listen, dont get the wrong idea, I am not some kind of santella defender. Its just that if he didnt help kick of this push back with his rant we would be in such worst straits! PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is the cornerstone of our exceptionalism!!! A paternal nanny govt is for Europe.

You are so full of it aworkerbee. While I appreciate that you take the time to comment, I am concerned that you do not distinguish the fine line between supporting consumers and criticising banks. The banks had a fraudulent product, and not only consumers were hit, but INVESTORS the world over were screwed. Anyone go to jail for that, aworkerbee?

If sophisticated investors could be duped by crap CDO's, then don't you think that some average working guy could be duped? You and Santelli have zero credibility here.

As far as Santelli being in Chicago, his paycheck comes from NYC.

While I am not for bailouts, as I see the need for house prices to decline, I would rather have seen the consumer bailed out than the miserable liar big banks who have not deleveraged a bit. I have argued elsewhere that foreclosures are the solution, yet banks are withholding inventory and are manipulating the stock market. http://hubpages.com/hub/Foreclosures-are-the-solut

I agree with Santelli with much of what he says but he doesn't go far enough. Lets hear him advocate the walking away from crap loans, with the caveat that the walker check real estate law in his state.

I have another website, aworkerbee, that you will just love. Take a look at http://www.dontpaycreditcards.com and see if the big banks deserve our moral obedience. Give us all a break!

the cdo players should crash and burn. The want something for nothing crowd should crash and burn. Those that sign contracts they dont understand should crash and burn. That is the regulation that works. F A I L U R E . I do believe cnbc is owned by GE. Which means a left leaning organization....once again you dont do your homework. If you have kids I hope you dont reward the ones that get F's and punish those that get A's.

GE, a left leaning organization? Doubtful. Santelli is a lightweight.

Yeah Ralph, that is pretty funny. Only Fox News would claim that GE is a left leaning organization. GE was part of the credit meltdown and piggybanked on the greed of Wall Street bankers. Hardly left wing. The company has also been hurt by middle class demise. Now that may make the company want stimulus for the middle classes, but all the money was spent on Wall Street criminals who should be in jail. Even seniors can't get a 250 dollar check because Geithner and Summers and the thieves of Wall Street are prevailing.

Great hub. The last video was superb! My life is much simpler. I see too many people who produce nothing but waste as in paper and wasted time. There is no "product". Every sports "star", every actor/actress, whoever needs to "create" something of value. Those that do create are just taken advantage of by paper-pushers who turn out to be folks who believe in wars as long as someone else does the sacrificing. Thanks for another great read!

Hi Micky, thanks for stopping by. Since the meltdown, the financial sector is accounting for even more of the national GDP than before the meltdown. Manufacturing has been weakened as well. Yet no one goes to jail.
