Episode Date: July 17, 2019

Thank you to our dedicated listener who emailed us this crucial piece of dirt on Steve Feinberg. The information above is from the article linked below. We appreciate our listeners contributing when we make an error thank you for the help! http://exiledonline.com/blood-sucking-freaks-the-rightwing-billionaires-at-cerberus-capital-literally-pump-human-blood-for-profit/

Hey, welcome to a bit of a bonus Grubstakers. We're just talking a bit more about Steven Feinberg because we just did this episode about Steven Feinberg, the founder of Cerberus Capital, a private equity firm, and a listener alerted us to something we missed and I thought it would be worth talking about. So we're just going to do that really quickly, is that Cerberus Capital, in addition to being the private equity firm that got $30 billion for the federal government for the auto bailout, that manufactured the gun used in Sandy Hook. Among other things, but yes.

Harvested organs through DynCorp. Trained the crisis actors. Yeah, killed Hillary Clinton's brother to cover up the organ harvesting in Haiti. All those other real scandals that you can look up that Steven Feinberg is linked to. He also did something wrong. In addition to all that, something we missed on this episode is essentially, a listener pointed this out to us, is that just from the Exiled Online, Mark Ames wrote in 2010 about how essentially Cerberus Capital has made money on

blood sucking. Literally, not metaphorical blood sucking, actual blood sucking. Yeah, so basically just from this article on the Exiled Online from 2010, in 2010 Cerberus sold their stake in Talcris, is a company, T-A-L-E-C-R-r-i-s they bought it for 82.5 million they sold it for 1.8 billion like that's a huge return right and so essentially just quoting from the exile they did it by the most savage heartless means possible by paying peanuts to their impoverished human plasma donors who include increasingly come from mexican border towns to blood pumping stations set up on the American side. And then they jack up the price of the plasma by restricting the supply. The FTC,

the Federal Trade Commission, actually sued them for setting up an oligarchy in this respect. And it is just something where, I don't know, it's extremely horrifying where you'll have the literally bus people across the border to from mexico because in mexico the united states is one of the few countries where it's actually legal to sell plasma for money in mexico it is illegal and most of the world yes so they will but they will bust these poor impoverished people who are of course decimated by you know the very capitalist neoliberal policies that they uh they promote so much They'll bust them across the border, pay them 30 bucks for an hour

of having their plasma sucked out, and then sell it for a huge markup. See, this is why I'm taking the side of the leftist case for closed borders. Because it used to be just a hardworking American could sell his blood for a fair price to pay his rent. But now they're just with open borders. This is just a look into the future.

You can just bus people over from Mexico. They sell their blood. It's undermining the American worker. And that's why I, as a leftist, am advocating closed borders. You're tired of these Mexicans taking our blood money. This would be one of the most innovative reactionary leftist takes for closed borders that I've heard. It's like Mexico has more progressive laws against the plasma market. So that's why we should close up the border.

Sorry, you were saying, Sean? Well, all I was saying is that i shouldn't have to press one for english blood that should be english blood should be the default option this isn't our blood used to be unionized the blood plasma market is forecast to grow to 44 billion dollars in four years so invest now is that what you're saying get on best brokers and get into the blood market? With regards to Steven Feinberg, as of right now, he's out of the market.

They dumped their stake in 2010. Just continuing from this Exiled article, they sell this plasma to people suffering from hemophilia, severe burns, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune deficiencies. From the Exiles, the products cost so much. Basically, one autoimmune deficiencies and from the exiles the products cost so much basically one

transmission of these intravenous hemoglobin they cost I think I got it right hemoglobin hemoglobin not feeling so well hemoglobin came out with

a coheed and cambria I love the soundtrack they did for the Tim Burton movies in 2005. We said we'd do five minutes bonus on this, but we didn't count on the time it takes me to pronounce things. Regardless, one of these transfusions, according to the Exiles, cost twice the price of gold as of summer 2009 and that the american health insurance companies have been dropping or denying policyholders and this essentially kills people so it's like on the one hand you're sucking blood out of you know

poor desperate immigrants for like vastly below market prices then you're using your oligop uh your oligopoly to jack up the price that the American consumers actually pay for it. So it's like that's why he gets such a crazy return buying this company for $82.5 million, selling it for $1.8 billion. So, I mean, he's making money sucking blood out of people and also killing people who need that blood. And that's why we need stronger regulations to make sure that the people who give the blood are paid market prices for their blood mm-hmm

yeah and you know it just kind of goes on this article in the exiled I recommend checking it out but you intend that to be a joke but actually we took it seriously yes but basically they just have all these plasma stations right along the US Mexico border and you know we mentioned like essentially within like 30 feet you get off the border you see a ton of plasma stations because again you know these are desperately many of them desperately poor people and they can't sell their plasma in mexico so of course they come to the united states where we're one of the few countries that has this really literally vampiric market for this shit and uh one of the sketchiest task rabbits ever i want to sell your blood but um it is just something to kind of like put on the ledger with

regard to steven feinberg is like you know how did you make your money it's like okay well i got a bunch of money from running a scam with uh michael milken at Gruntal & Co. with Stephen A. Cohen, who was later pled guilty to insider trading violations or failure to supervise, whatever the case may be. It's like you get all this startup capital in a shady way, and then you leverage it, where essentially you're getting desperately poor people to literally sell you their blood,

and then you're using your market position to jack up the price that blood will uh will fetch on the american market where you know you give somebody 30 for an hour of their time you we pay guests on the podcast more than he was paying for an hour's worth of blood being sucked out of them and making such an insane return on that. So it is. And we take our guests plasma. But I guess, you know, so that's just something else to add to the ledger on Steven Feinberg.

And if we do an episode on a billionaire and there's some stuff we don't get to, please just shoot us an email. Let's do our work for us. Exactly. That's the other thing is we've studied these billionaires so that we can replicate their models of exploitation.

Right. So, you know, like Amazon will have you do reviews for free. That's free labor for Amazon. So if you're listening to our podcast and you notice some good stories about how they are actual Imperial vampires sucking the blood out of Mexican immigrants,

feel free to just email us and maybe we'll uh do a little addition to a to an episode we've already done thank you to our listener that emailed us this information thank you for our listener uh to uh bringing this to our attention and um thank you for helping us make the case against open borders again you can always email us grubstakerspodcast at gmail.com or tweet at us at grubstakerspod on Twitter. And so we'll keep an eye on what Steven Feinberg does in the future. Hopefully, he will finally pay those students at Sandy Hook for all that blood he took from them. Jesus Christ.

I just think he had a free source of domestic American blood and he had to outsource it. Wait, he exploited those false flag actors? Alright, thanks for listening and thanks to our listener who brought that to our attention and keep us posted about what you find out about billionaires that we miss.
