Mexican regulators have imposed a fine of $27.5m (£17.7m) on banking giant HSBC for its failure to comply with money-laundering regulations.

The fine comes a week after HSBC's chief compliance officer resigned over allegations that the bank ignored warnings that Mexican drug money was being allowed to pass through the bank. The fine is the highest ever imposed by Mexican regulators.

It constitutes 51.5% of the 2011 annual profit of HSBC's Mexican subsidiary.
'Drug kingpins'

Mexico's National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) said it had imposed the fine against HSBC due to its "non-compliance with anti-money laundering systems and controls". HSBC Mexico issued a statement acknowledging that it failed to report 39 suspicious transactions and had been late in reporting 1,729 others.

"HSBC Mexico recognises it failed to strictly comply with banking regulations, and with the standards that regulators and clients expect of our institution," it said. Last week, a United States Senate committee found that HSBC had provided a conduit for "drug kingpins and rogue nations".

HSBC's head of compliance, David Bagley, resigned at the Senate committee hearing.

Americans favor Obama to defend against space aliens

AFP – Thu, Jun 28, 2012


Nearly two in three Americans think President Barack Obama is better suited than Republican rival Mitt Romney to deal with an alien invasion, according to a survey released Wednesday.

National Geographic Channel contacted 1,114 adults across the United States last month for its fanciful opinion poll ahead of its new cable television documentary series "Chasing UFOs."

Thirty-six percent of respondents said they were certain that unidentified flying objects exist. Eleven percent were confident they had spotted a UFO, and 20 percent said they knew someone who claimed to have seen one.

With Obama facing re-election in November, 65 percent said Obama would be more adept than Romney to respond to an alien invasion, with women and younger Americans more likely than men and over-65s to agree with that prospect.

National Geographic Channel said the results of the email and online "Aliens Among Us" survey dovetailed with the research underpinning "Chasing UFOs" which premieres Friday with Texas and Colorado residents describing their encounters with mysterious flying objects.

The poll had a margin of error of 2.9 percent.

rod03801: How?

"Yes, the more conservative our government, the better everyone's retirement can be in the long run. "

Not true. Over this side of the pond, pensions have been less secure.

""Mr Romney aims to boost his foreign policy credentials on the trip.

But as he arrived in London on Wednesday, his campaign found itself on the defensive after an unidentified Romney adviser was quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he [Romney] feels that the special relationship is special.

"The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have."

The Romney campaign has distanced itself from the comments, which the newspaper said might "prompt accusations of racial insensitivity".

Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said: "It's not true. If anyone said that, they weren't reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign.""

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>How do we know that for true??

The "likes" link sucks, don't bother going there... don't touch that!

He likes the ladies

(V): The same way certain people on the dole have to bow down to the libs?

But you said something that makes sense this time, it seems. Yes, the more conservative our government, the better everyone's retirement can be in the long run.

Iamon lyme: He reminds me of Mickey Mouse's friend Goofy. Cept Goofy is smart and better lookin.

Übergeek 바둑이: Which cartoons?

Übergeek 바둑이: ... He has to respect the Tea Party! His pension fund might go down otherwise

Looking at Art's cartoons. The funny thing is that Romney is really, really better than Obama. Romney is really, really going to change Washington for the better. Romney really represents the working man and not some big corporate interests like other presidents have done since the end of WW I.

Iamon lyme:

Artful Dodger: I don't look so good first thing in the morning either.

Michele without makup http://images.wikia.com/memoryalpha/en/images/7/7a/M_113_Creature.jpg

Artful Dodger: "I did NOT Google this:"

I knew it!!! Oh, they all laughed at me when I told them, but who is laughing now...

bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Artful Dodger: "I have one of Rahm too."

bring it on...

I'm sending one of those chain saw links to my son who is in the Navy.. it looks like him. I want him to show it to his wife, I think she will agree with me. heh heh heh heh heh...

And NO I did NOT Google this: http://www.vip.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/obama-ufo-pueblo1nov08.jpg

Iamon lyme: That picture I posted isn't meant to be funny. It was taken on his 30th birthday taken on the planet Obaumulan and super imposed against the WH. I have one of Rahm too.

Artful Dodger: I guess I could talk and post links to pictures.. it's a free country, I can do both.

Artful Dodger: The Democrats are literally gambling on this next election. They are shoving it all into the pot... either they will fundamentally change the US, or it will be their last hurrah until they can rewrite history to spoon feed to the next generation of voters.

If they succeed in fundamentally changing the US, it will be too late for anyone (including them) to complain about how those changes affect them.


I could be wasting ink here actually talking about this... maybe I'll go back to just posting funny looking pictures.

It says so in the Bible....

Revelation 7:1:
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

I have proof!!

Iamon lyme: Here it is. He's had surgery since this photo. http://www.riehlworldview.com/photos/uncategorized/obama_for_prez.jpg

Iamon lyme: And if it's ever proven that he's no eligible, all his executive orders, all his signed legislation is voided out. I have some proof somewhere that he's not US born. I'll dig it up.

Artful Dodger: I doubt the facts about where he was born is of little concern to those who want him in the oval office. The only reason Obama has been lying about this is that he cannot legitimately hold the highest office here unless he has been born here.

It wasn't an issue when he was a senator, so at that time there was no reason for him to not tell the truth. The story had to change for him to legitimately run for president, and a lot of people covered his backside to make it happen... and still are. After he is out of office the purpose for the lie will be gone, and only then will the truth about it be allowed to see the light of day.

No one wants to admit they were duped the first time around, so the issue won't work because as the Col said, "It's a gamble the Democrats would happily take.." I'll wager there are US citizens who don't even know why it's an issue in the first place.

The Col: The Founding Fathers were a fringe group. Jesus led a fringe group. Sounds like a good club.

Artful Dodger: It's a gamble Democrats would happily take, cuz the more often it comes up, the more it helps them amongst undecided voters.The "birthers" are the Republican answer to tree huggers and other fringe liberal groups.

The Col: Unless it just so happens to be true.

Artful Dodger: That is exactly the fringe conspiracy stuff that will eventually regulate the Republican party to the sidelines.It may play well to a certain few, but mainstream voters not only laugh, but are turned off by it

Iamon lyme: If Obama was legit, why did he wait three years before releasing his long form certificate? And when he did, it was a proven forgery. Those without the facts mock. That's what ignorance does. OTOH, your theory sounds most plausible.

Obamas father was born in Hawaii. Two days later he walked to Kenya and gave birth to Obama, then he gave him to Rahm Emanuel and walked back to Hawaii. That's what really happened.

It must be true... no one in their right mind could just make this stuff up out of whole cloth.

Conservative conspiracy theorists!!

The CIA, FBI and other agencies I think would be able to stop a fake citizen.

But.. buy the DVD and buy the book. IT'S your duty to buy them as a good Christian.. or so it was said on the youtube exclusive.

mckinley: I don't think Rice is the best choice. And Mittens will release his tax returns when the president releases his college transcripts and stops blocking access to his true long form birth certificate.

We've just now learned from documents recently unearthed near area 51 that Kenya is the 56th state, so as it turns out Obama did not lie. He was born in the US of A.

Okay, he did lie about being born in Hawaii, but not really... he misspoke.

mckinley: Probably in the same tax havens that are used to hide at least $21,000,000,000,000 of taxable liquid assets worldwide.

Eight people, including Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, will face a total of 19 charges relating to phone hacking, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

The two ex-News of the World editors are to be charged in connection with the accessing of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone messages.

They are among seven of the now-defunct paper's former staff facing charges of conspiring to intercept communications.

The CPS said the charges related to 600 alleged victims between 2000 and 2006.

The revelation that 13-year-old Milly's phone had been hacked by the News of the World (NoW) after she went missing in Surrey in 2002 led to the closure of the Sunday tabloid newspaper in July last year.

It'd be more victims, but many of the celebs have taken out of court settlements.... thus, less embarrassing for NI!!

anybody coming to London for the Olympics? We have been asked to walk to work to save the transport system hahaha.

Vikings: oops, my bad.

Iamon lyme: that post needs to be moved to this board http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=58
