Moral Suasion

Tennyson Woodbridge’s early Heads I Win…Tails You Lose securitization of mortgage debt strategy was only emboldened following the high profile insider trading arrest of Martha Stuart in 2003. Woodbridge’s assessment of the celebrity arrest suggested infinitely larger parties would now be safe from facing similar distractions and he famously quoted: Do not bother fame over fortune when it comes to the banking henhouse…now that the hawks have made a meal of Martha!

The Integratron

Landers, California, credit and date in dispute. Provenance: Considered a hoax. Accordingly, El Disco obtained a 60's style Polaroid print from a Mr. Plowman, who claims to have obtained the photo directly from the photographer [unknown] while at the 1997 International UFO Congress in Laughlin Nevada. According to Mr. Plowman, "the photo is a gag relating back to the whole affair here and at Giant Rock down the road a while back in the 60's where some guy [George Van Tassel] who built the Integratron was wooing rich folks into the desert and charging large sums of money to bring them into contact with the UFO aliens around at the time."
