I hate to say it, but this smells like the tainted agenda that's complicated the Occupy Wall Street movement. Patrick M. Byrne is a member of the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS...

Significant discretion should be applied when dealing with any member of this monster organization...

Thought-provoking post. Some more digging is required, it seems.

Also the Advisory Board of the 'Centre for Preventative Action':

The Center for Preventive Action (CPA) "was established by the Council on Foreign Relations in 1994 to help prevent, defuse, or resolve deadly conflicts around the world and to expand the body of knowledge on conflict prevention."

It seems Mr Byrne is a very active member of said Board:

The Council on Foreign Relations established the General John W. Vessey Chair in Conflict Prevention in honor of General Vessey, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Made possible by a generous gift from Council member Patrick M. Byrne, chairman of the board and president of overstock.com, and his parents John and Dorothy, the chair was created to recognize the importance of conflict prevention in an increasingly complicated and dangerous world. The Byrnes have made this gift to recognize General Vessey’s contributions to the country during over sixty years of public service, and to call attention to a missing ingredient in the U.S. foreign policy debate: the need for a strategy for preventing conflict around the globe.

Wow - check out the list of recent meetings:

CPA Meetings

This all suggests Mr Byrne is either a highly influential establishment figure - or, perhaps, a man on the inside who now wants out.

Interesting info...

My biggest problem is that the CFR can put out publications like this quarterly review, "Foreign Affairs" from 1974, and expect nobody to notice...




The damn bastards even charged $2.50 a copy for that madness..

Yes but when the boys up the top are not even human in Goldman and the other ROthchilds arm, they dont care about a law suit unless they have evidence they are not even human. Even with that they own the courts and they own the mainstream media. You just need to keep spreading the word.

UPDATE:

Now that the date has passed I thought it would be worth looking for news-

Patrick Byrne made headlines of his own by taking on Wall Street firms, including Goldman Sachs, with his claims that Overstock has been a victim of heavy so-called “naked shorting” that was designed to push down the value of the company’s stock. The stock now trades at under $8 from a high of $76 in 2004. Overstock said a trial is set for March 2012.

He has certainly made some enemies out there. I found some very venomous articles, such as this, where he is described as a "stock market conspiracist" and a Ron Paul supporter(!) - amongst other things.

Maybe we should give him a break?! (-Ref. some of the comments on this page, which included my own queries.)

Interestingly this other derogatory article mentions that he has already received out-of-court settlements from several other big players:

This is an expensive nuisance for the banks, costing them millions in legal fees, and I'm sure they'd like to make it go away by throwing some bucks at Overstock. Byrne's hopes along those lines were encouraged when Morgan Stanley (MS), Citigroup (C), Deutsche Bank (DB), Credit Suisse (CS), Union Bank of Switzerland and Bank of New York (BK) cashed out in 2010 for $4.5 million, and Bank of America (BAC) chose to bow out recently, in a settlement whose terms have not been disclosed.

But here's what's really interesting: his lecture entitled "Deep Capture: How Wall Street Criminals hijacked the institutions that are supposed to be protecting us from them"

(click on the next number on the left if you hear the soundtrack starting to repeat)

It's VERY interesting.

And somebody doesn't like it. His "conspiracy-theory website, Deep Capture" was recently shut down as a result of a court case in Canada (-as mentioned in the last, clearly biased, article).
