In a twist of events since Wenzel foolishly took on Stephan Kinsella in a debate over IP, more and more facts about Wenzel are coming out.
The latest news? Robert Wenzel is a plagiarist, a hypocrite and an imposter…?
Part IV – unmasking the sock puppet
So who is this Robert Wenzel character (rw@economicpolicyjournal.com)?
- There used to be a site called EconomicPolicyReview.com (2007-2008) run by Raymond Salter (rs@economicpolicyreview.com). Here is a 2007copyfrom TheWayBackMachine. He wrote near identical copy to EPJ today. The Phil Gramm post onEPJ(careful IP!) is identical to the one on EPR (same date even). Here is aSS.
- Prior to that was another similar site called EconomicsDaily run by Raymond Fuller (raymond.fuller@economicsdaily.com), here is a 2005copyfrom TheWayBackMachine. During this time, Fuller even wasinvolvedin a spat with Gene Callahan (who used to be affiliated with the LVMI). Fuller also wrote similar copy and content as EPJ today.
- From 2002-2005 another site, Menrohm.com was maintained by Robert Menrhom (rm@menrohm.com), here is a 2005copywhich discusses some of the same topics (Freakonomics) and quoting libertarians like Justin Raimondo.
- In 2006 a Peter Stojanpiece(SS) at LRC cites Raymond Keller (not Fuller) as a source of commentary. Stojan’s company (montreauxadvisors.com) does not exist. A 2006copyof Raymond Keller’s site is up on TheWayBackMachine and Keller’s Blogger profile is expired butturns into(SS) Raymond Salter’s. Keller also wrote about economics (Freakonomics) and talks about his letters to the late LRC publisher, Burt Blumert.
While it would be fallacious to connect those dots (guilt by association) consider the case of Los Angeles resident Raymond Nize, owner of Beacon Hill West and Nize Holdings.
In 2006 there was press releaseissued(SS) on behalf of Raymond Nize a supposed expert in economic forecasting who would be speaking at a World Economics Forecast Conference. The conference did not exist nor was the book by the title that Nize supposedly wrote ever published (“Understanding Macro-Economic Forecasting: A guide for Business Executives and Investors”). This same Nize may be the same poster at LVMI (seehereandhereandhere). If it is the same Nize (nize@nizenotes.com), then TheWayBackMachine also has a 2006copyof yet another Blogger site that once again is written in similar style/copy as EPJ (e.g., macro economics). Nize also commented onthis post(SS) about re-finance mortgages in California but later removed his last name. Nize’s other Bloggerprofile(SS) leads to a dead end pointing to a non-existent site about the 213 area code of LA — a common theme through many of these domains and aliases is they are usually affiliated with LA. Looking through Technorati a site originally dedicated to indexing and searching blogs), Nizenotes isclaimed(SS) by a mont99. One mont99 (located in LA — room730@gmail.com) also has aprofile(SS) at LibraryThing that includes favorites along the same genres/topics of all the other blogs thus far (libertarianism/Austrianism). (Note: this mont99 is probably a differentroom730.)
All of these sites have very similar look, feel and commentary to EconomicPolicyJournal.com and a few posts that are on all of the sites (with small changes) plus EPR also shows history going back to 2002 while it was really created in 2007. It is very likely that the same person is behind all of the Blogger sites but nothing besides the spartan aesthetic looks, content genre (all libertarian/econ), content layout (short blurbs/block quotes) and email addresses (similar style) confirms that. EPR seem to have been picked up in 2009 by other people and then dropped again, the domain is unowned at the moment.
The smoking gun however, is alawsuit filed(SS) on January 14, 2008 where Ray was named as a defendant in a case filed in California: La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc vs Stomar Partners, Inc, Jim Miller, Raymond Nize and Does 1-10 (case no: 37-2007-000642640CU-BC-CTL). While I cannot weigh on the merits of the case (theplaintiff’s siteis just one side of things… install Quicktime/IE for his 2nd monologuehere), the plaintiff was apparently friends with Ray and his ex-gf. Here is apicture(SS) of Ray with the plaintiff (also seen at the top of this post). Compare that with his alias (Robert Wenzel’s)videofrom the LVMI speech last month (see side-by-side comparison at the bottom). Furthermore, if you do aWhoIs database searchon EconomicPolicyJournal.com, it is registered to EPJ Holdings — to a Los Angeles address (5042 Wilshire Blvd) and the registered phone number (213-2593-55XX) is an area code for LA as well (SS).
Possible known aliases:
- Raymond Nize
- Raymond Sabat
- Robert Menrohm
- Raymond Fuller
- Raymond Keller
- Peter Stojan
- Raymond Salter
- Robert Wenzel
According to a friend of a friend who tipped me off on this, he suspects that there are many more aliases out there. I think it is more likely than not that Robert Wenzel is not his original name and probably even not his actual current name. And it seems like EPJ was his biggest success story so he stuck with that name because of that. Furthermore, it is hard to verify his claims of working at a hedge fund or in Wall Street itself let alone corroborate his purported predictions of booms and busts like the 2008 financial crash when he seems to have a history of backdating posts.
And while I personally have no qualms with people reinventing themselves or even leading multiple lives this entire escapade is beginning to look more and more like the Libertarian Girl hoax (seehereandhere) with a dash of bravado fromCatch Me If You Can,a dab of whodunnit fromThe Usual Suspectsand a smattering of interconnected cast members fromCloud Atlas.
Is Robert Wenzel/Raymond Nize the modern-day Keyser Söze? Or is he a mere internet sockpuppet?
Update:another source just emailed the following information, there are two more similar sites. EconomicBriefing.com (copyat TWBM andSS) and EconomicsBriefing.com (copyat TWBM andSS). The last one was active 2005 and 2007, with two different authors. All linked to the alias, Raymond Sabat and a new one, Robert Wallach (rw@economicsbriefing.com). The latter has the same Blogger layout and the former is an already known alias. Both cover the same genre/topics and writing format as the other Wenzel/Nize aliases.
It’s going to be pretty hilarious when we all find out that Wenzel was a CIA plant…
The $43 TRILLION Dollar Lawsuit against “Banksters”
Well, since I posted the CNBC murder article, a few people asked about the actual lawsuit, I even got a phone call, so here it is via MarketWatch:
Major Banks, Governmental Officials and Their Comrade Capitalists Targets of Spire Law Group, LLP’s Racketeering and Money Laundering Lawsuit Seeking Return of $43 Trillion to the United States Treasury
NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Spire Law Group, LLP’s national home owners’ lawsuit, pending in the venue where the “Banksters” control their $43 trillion racketeering scheme (New York) - known as the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History and identifying $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by the “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners and joint venturers - now pinpoints the identities of the key racketeering partners of the “Banksters” located in the highest offices of government and acting for their own self-interests.
In connection with the federal lawsuit now impending in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, New York (Case No. 12-cv-04269-JBW-RML) - involving, among other things, a request that the District Court enjoin all mortgage foreclosures by the Banksters nationwide, unless and until the entire $43 trillion is repaid to a court-appointed receiver - Plaintiffs now establish the location of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money in a racketeering enterprise participated in by the following individuals (without limitation): Attorney General Holder acting in his individual capacity, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris (both acting in their individual capacities), Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary (acting in his individual capacity), Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former “communications director” for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the “Banksters” themselves, and their affiliates and conduits. The lawsuit alleges serial violations of the United States Patriot Act, the Policy of Embargo Against Iran and Countries Hostile to the Foreign Policy of the United States, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly known as the RICO statute) and other State and Federal laws.
In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP — on behalf of home owner across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws — has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the “Banksters” and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the “bailout programs” by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other “bailout money” advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress. Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the “Banksters” criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama’s campaign from these same “Banksters” to finance its political aspirations, the national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the “Bankster” Defendants.
The complaint - which has now been fully served on thousands of the “Banksters and their Co-Conspirators” - makes it irrefutable that the epicenter of this laundering and racketeering enterprise has been and continues to be Wall Street and continues to involve the very “Banksters” located there who have repeatedly asked in the past to be “bailed out” and to be “bailed out” in the future.
The Havens for the money laundering schemes - and certain of the names and places of these entities - are located in such venues as Switzerland, the Isle of Man, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Cypress and entities controlled by governments adverse to the interests of the United States Sanctions and Embargo Act against Iran, and are also identified in both the United Nations and the U.S. Senate’s recent reports on international money laundering. Many of these entities have already been personally served with summons and process of the complaint during the last six months. It is now beyond dispute that, while the Obama Administration was publicly encouraging loan modifications for home owners by “Banksters”, it was privately ratifying the formation of these shell companies in violation of the United States Patriot Act, and State and Federal law. The case further alleges that through these obscure foreign companies, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank, Citigroup, One West Bank, and numerous other federally chartered banks stole trillions of dollars of home owners’ and taxpayers’ money during the last decade and then laundered it through offshore companies.
This District Court Complaint - maintained by Spire Law Group, LLP — is the only lawsuit in the world listing as Defendants the Banksters, let alone serving all of such Banksters with legal process and therefore forcing them to finally answer the charges in court. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, nor the Office of the Attorney General, nor any State Attorney General has sued the Banksters and thereby legally chased them worldwide to recover-back the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) and other lawful damages, injunctive relief and other legal remedies.
James N. Fiedler, Managing Partner of Spire Law Group, LLP, stated: “It is hard for me to believe as a 47-year lawyer that our nation’s guardians have been unwilling to stop this theft. Spire Law Group, LLP stands for the elimination of corruption and implementation of lawful strategies, and that is what we’re doing here. Spire Law Group, LLP’s charter is to not allow such corruption to go unanswered.”
Comments were requested from the Attorney Generals’ offices in NY, CA, NV, NH , OH, MA and the White House, but no comment was provided.

Well, there it is, in it’s entirety.
So let me just say this much… HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS INSANE.
A top fundraiser for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been accused of fraud, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
Abake Assongba, who runs the Africa-focused charity Abake’s Foundation with her husband Anthony J.W. DeRosa, has raised more than $50,000 for Obama’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to the campaign’s list of top “volunteer fundraisers.”
Wasn’t me!

This isn’t the first and it won’t be the last. Not for Obama or for most politicians. Politics is a dirty game played by some of the filthiest individuals on the planet.
Hacking Democracy 2.0. How the GOP election will be sold to the highest bidder.
If you haven’t seen Hacking Democracy, I urge you to watch it. It explains how Diebold and a consortium of corporations and extremely rich individuals paid for and delivered the 2000 and 2004 elections.
In this year’s GOP primaries, we are seeing the same thing happen except without the need to hack computers.
In Iowa, all of the college towns ballots were lost or took days to reach the vote counters, deeming them expired. In short, the votes that were cast were not counted. These caucuses polled to be overwhelmingly for Ron Paul. So what did Iowa do? They gathered the delegates and had them pick their own winners. Essentially a handful of men decided for an entire state and perhaps an entire country.
Now in Nevada we have more voters and votes cast than the total number of eligible registered voters. The end result was a confused voter base, a skewed vote count and the GOP Chairwoman of Nevada, Amy Tarkanian, resigning.
But I bet most of you didn’t see this during the Super Bowl.
The Examiner has a great look at the sham that is the GOP primaries. Lori Stacey, author of the article “It is official: Elections in America are a complete hoax”, writes:
It is now almost 24 hours after voters in Nevada went to their caucuses to try to cast their votes and we still mysteriously only have results for 71.1% of the caucuses . The remaining caucuses that are still not reported actually make up the most populated caucuses in the entire state. We were told late last night that all the votes cast in Clark County had to be recounted to ensure accuracy before they would release any of the numbers to the press. Excuse me?
Where does one even begin to voice their outrage regarding this complete joke of a corrupt system we are all witnessing? If you believe the results finally coming out of Nevada, you must be living on Fantasy Island. How can caucuses that count their votes right there at the precincts have to conduct complete recounts many hours after they are over and almost everyone has gone home before they will even report most of the counts in the entire state to the public? There is only one explanation for this insanity: Corruption at its boldest! It is completely inconceivable in a caucus situation for votes to ever have to be recounted away from the precinct. The votes are not even cast on ballots like in the primary states, they are usually nothing more than little pieces of paper with a name on them stating the voter’s preference. .
As I wrote in a previous article, many of the polls leading up to voting have been wrought with deliberate deception. The only logical conclusion for such disturbingly unfair polling data is that they are being deliberately created to not only deceive voters into believing which candidate can win a particular contest but that they are obviously being used as a precursor to try to later justify completely fraudulent voting results.
The long night was filled with voter intimidation reports of having to prove or declare a religion (see video), countless reports by the media that were harassed or even kicked out of caucuses and told they could not film the events, hundreds of voters being turned away especially if they admitted they supported Ron Paul and then we still do not have a full accounting of the votes. It is being admitted by party officials that there are precincts in which the amount of votes cast outnumbers the amount of voters present. In other words, ballot stuffing at its finest. What is going on here and why are we continuing to just put up with it?
Why are we putting up with it? Simply put, because we aren’t even aware of it.
Look at Iowa, for example. We had already moved on, nearly two states later, when I first heard of the Iowa issues. I live in California and I tend to think I’ve very actively involved in the political process in America. Unfortunately, I’m the rare minority.
Most people either don’t care or they think that there’s nothing they can do about it. Then there’s the invisible hand of mass media. How convenient that the two big election fraud charges came to surface right around Super Bowl week. Best way to cover up a scandal is let someone else do it for you. Then there is no cover up for anyone to have to take responsibility for, just a bait-and-switch that the only real responsible party is the public for their unyielding thirst of sports and reality television.
