Fred Buenrostro |
But, apparently, the standard perks that come with being head of CALPERS were not quite nice enough for Fred Buenrostro. From the L.A. Times:
Federal prosecutors in San Francisco indicted former CalPERS Chief Executive Fred Buenrostro and former board member Alfred J.R. Villalobos on Monday afternoon as part of a years-long investigation into possible influence-peddling and corruption.
The two former officials of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System were charged with fraud and obstruction of justice, according to the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco.
Alfred J.R. Villalobos |
The federal investigation has been probing Villalobos' alleged influence-pedding in winning lucrative contracts for private equity funds that wanted to do business with CalPERS, the country's largest public pension fund.
Villalobos and his Nevada firm earned tens of millions of dollars in commissions on the deals. Villalobos and Buenrostro also have been sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the state attorney general over fraud claims.
Okay, Villalobos has something of a PRI oligarch look going for him, like his great-grandfather was a bandit turned general in the Mexican Revolution a century ago, but Buenrostro ...
White guys pretty much built the modern world and mostly still rule it, but everyone is agreed that that's awful. So, the best thing in the world to be right now is a white person who has some claim to being a member of a Designated Victim Group, like Gerald McRaney-lookalike Señor Buenrostro.

Buenrostro has more of a Todd Packer vibe going on
ReplyDeleteTodd Packer crossed with the guy on Parks and Recreation who looks like Teddy Roosevelt.
ReplyDeleteSo, white liberals get to mingle with white conquis while the rest of us have to drown in brown?
ReplyDeleteWhy are these guys even prosecuted? We need to learn to accept the vibrancy of a little fast dealing.
ReplyDeleteTime to use the Celto-Germanic card.
ReplyDeleteFor a long long time, the Latins--aka Romans--conquered and oppressed Northern Europeans of Germanic and Celtic stock. So, all Northern Europeans are descendants of Latin slavery, Latin imperialism, Latin genocide, and Latin whatever they did.
Since Spanish are part of Latin culture, they too are of the race that conquered and oppressed the Northern Celts and Germanics.
So, it's about time we call for historical justice! Since Jews spread out via the Roman Empire and collaborated in this Latin invasion and oppression of Northern Europeans, we must demand justice from them too.
So you are the two guys that still watch NBC.
ReplyDeleteThe kicker? Villalobos translates to "Wolf VIlla", while Buenrostro literally means "Good Face"
ReplyDelete"you need a little extra oomph. A Spanish surname wouldn't hurt, for example."
ReplyDeleteIt's trivial to change your last name. Foreigners with funny names do it all the time. Mine will be: Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastián d'Anconia.
Should Gentile whites start to give themselves Hebrew names in a manner reminiscent of when Jews gave themselves Anglicized names 60 plus years ago? Given the massive change in power structure, it might serve them well.
ReplyDeleteThus, if Issur Danielovitch can become Kirk Douglas, Israel Isidore Baline can become Irving Berlin, and Irwin Martin Cohn can become Quinn Martin, John Smith could become Samuel Adelson or Patrick McNeal could become Abbie Gould. It might help out on those college applications.
If I were a white guy with political aspirations, I think I'd look into what it takes to emigrate to Mexico, and whether I would be able to qualify for office there. After all, it's clear that Mexicans in Mexico like voting for and being ruled by white guys. It may not be long until it's easier for a white guy to get elected there than here where the elites insist that minorities must vote for minorities.

ReplyDeleteNice. I call Juan Galtez.

ReplyDeleteThose may be Jewish names, but they aren't, strictly speaking, Hebrew names. Hebrew names are patronymic (e.g. Asher ben Hillel = Asher son of Hillel), and there aren't formal surnames.
Maybe Villalobos's related to that exotic Colombian cabbie woman in "Pulp Fiction"
ReplyDeleteShould Gentile whites start to give themselves Hebrew names
ReplyDeleteI thought the Puritans had already done this.
IHTG said: I thought the Puritans had already done this.
ReplyDeleteHunsdon: They did, although my favorite examples of Puritan naming tropes run to the Thou-Wouldst-Be-Damned-Were-It-Not-For-the-Lord style.

ReplyDeleteand Jonathan Liebowitz can become Jon Stewart and Winona Horowitz can become Winona Ryder and Robert Zimmerman can become Bob Dylan and...
Why not Arabic names instead of Hebrew?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, John Keker will get him off.
ReplyDeleteIs this guy a total scumbag,?? I worry about someone around him.
