Must-watch interview:
Background: Top economists and financial experts agree that our economy will never recover unless Wall Street fraud is prosecuted. See this and this.
But the government has more or less made it official policy not to prosecute fraud, and instead to do everything necessary to cover up for Wall Street.

If we required that the first to go to war were the sons and daughters of politicians, there would be no more war.
better yet, politicians themselves have to lead their children into war. whoever survives and comes back after 10 years can retake 1 term of office in their former seat.
Michele Bachmann with her '28' children could make a platoon with 4 squads of 7 kids each. They can be the 'spearhead' into Iran (or Uganda).
A patriotic American making good points. That dude was huge and angry.
Right on. And the "media" keeps telling us we're pussies. Not all of us.
There are plenty of "pussies" on the front line, of the #OWS and in the wars.
Get another term to use that doesn't degrade brave and courageous women everywhere, alive and dead, including ones who lost their freedom and life fighting men for the right to vote.
Just another dick trying to degrade women.
Also fire Mary Schapiro, that do nothing bitch.
Reality is, Mary is doing EXACTLY what she's paid to do. She's doing EXACTLY what she was (over)paid to do at FINRA.
You can read between the lines.
Please include Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer and all the other government toadies without whom the fraud would not have been possible in the first place.
Why stop there what about the other nine agentcies that are supoose to police "Wall Street"
They don't regulate the TCTF banks because they are the ones who pedal the endless debt created by the Federal Goverment.
They don't prosecute because it would end the Gov ponzi.
Exactly, she has a nice 6 figure job lined up after she is done protecting investors.
We should make it illegal for any bank regulator to ever work for a bank. That was one of Bill Black's ideas. The revolving door between pols and bankers is obscene.
Thanks again GW. Bill Black is The Man.
Short the Long bond on margin, and let it bleed!
he wrecking ball rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Now testify
Awesome video.
Everybody, post it on Fakebook, Twitter, etc. The more people know, the more the veil drops.
William Black is my hero!
Come on America! Get rid of the freeloader fraudsters.
This recovering neo-con can't believe he agrees with an MSNBC anchor, on a regular basis no less!
Not to give MSLSD any undeserved credit, but Ratigan is a gem in a field of fecal propaganda.
"Nonsensical lefty righty paradigm.." exactly
Social issues be damned at this point. Lets argue about the smaller issues after we get that big corrupt cock out of our asses first.
Social issues be damned at this point. Lets argue about the smaller issues after we get that big corrupt cock out of our asses first.
I agree completely. We can fight to our hearts content about the social issues later. Lets fix this now!
wow Dolly ...Borgia would have love-hated you.
""Nonsensical lefty righty paradigm.." exactly" Exactly!
The entire notion of red state/blue state, conservative/liberal, republican/democrat is nothing but a smoke screen, a blatantly false paradigm designed to give the voters the impression that their voice counts. It doesn't. The oligarchs own all the horses in every race and as long as the status quo remains, they will win every race no matter what. The old 'divide and conquer' trick. They've had Americans divided for over a century one way or another. Black vs. white for a while, north vs. south for a while, gay vs. normal (lol) for a while, On and on it goes. Forget about left and right. This has boiled down to a situation where it's Americans (all together as "one") vs. the global oligarchal empire which is determined to squash you all. Don't let them. I'm not an American, but I can honestly say that I've never been prouder of the American people than I am tonight. Seriously.
You're absolutely correct. Everybody knows the good guys lost. That said, Canada is one of the few remaining countries that has (I hope) a functioning democracy. You need to direct your government to intervene. Declare that you will start accepting Americans as political refugees or go to a gold standard or use your imagination. We don't need cheerleaders. We are about to go through shit that will make nazi Germany look like Phineas and Ferb. Fuck your admiration. Give me action.
Stop hoping...Canada was captured long ago, they are just another Commonwealth state controlled by the globalists. Here is but one tiny example from Reuters. Ceremonial my ass...even the mainstream media gets it right now and then.
"Governor General Michaelle Jean -- the representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state -- agreed to Harper's request to shut down Parliament until Jan 26. Parliament was reconvened just weeks ago after the October 14 election."

"Commonwealth State"?
Nothing in common, certainly not wealth.
Yeah, it's a bit of an oxymoron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations
Yeah! Kind of like the name for a popular salad dressing, "Fat Free Italian".
Who pays the queens salary?
Canadian democracy -- HA!
Canadian heads in the sand.
Ratigan and Judge Napolatano are the only two reasons I ever venture near the mainstream coverage. Always shocked that MSNBC and Fox give them a platform. Hell, the Judge had the Buidling What? people on a while back and gave them a very fair treatment. I've always suspected he knows the truth on 9/11.
Agree 100%. Judge and Ratigan. I'll even give credit to the mustache for having AE truth on, after flipping off we are change in times square.
Piss-ant benedict arnolds like Beck and Stewart irritate me the most. They bring up valid points every once in a while, then demonize America hating "truthers".
End the Fed. Prosecute the financial criminals. INVESTIGATE 9/11 and hang the fucks on national tv.
That Beck just gives me the creeps.
Glenn Beck Says Occupy Wall Street is a Communist Plot to Collapse U.S. Economy
$nip>
"By IBTimes Staff Reporter | October 15, 2011 11:13 PM EDT"
"Former Fox News talk-show host Glenn Beck said the Occupy Wall Street protests that have grown in the past four weeks are part and parcel of a communist plan to collapse the U.S. economy."
"Beck also said the Occupy demonstrations occurring in numerous cities around the world represent a coordinated effort by communists to collapse the capitalist economic system, not reform it. "This is a Marxist revolution that is global in its nature," Beck said Friday."

Barf...now comes this asshole Tom Leppert who has whipped together an "End Occupy" site.
Failed banker-turned Senate candidate funds ‘End the Occupation’ website
$nip>
"In what appears to be an effort to garner email addresses for his U.S. Senate campaign, a Texas Republican who formerly served on Washington Mutual’s board of directors has launched a website called “End Occupy,” which blames young Americans and their “false sense of entitlement” for the country’s current economic status."
"“The Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess,” Tom Leppert’s “EndOccupy.com” claims. “They possess a false sense of entitlement and think they should be receiving government handouts and run up the debt on an imaginary credit card by making hard-working Americans and future generations pay for the bill.” It goes on to ask for petition signatures, which will be sent to President Barack Obama."
"But for Leppert, who’s running to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), that allegation may just produce a round of laughter from the occupied streets of New York all the way to his home in Dallas, Texas, given his history. Leppert was one of the last chairmen of Washington Mutual’s audit committee, right before the company earned the title of largest bank failure in U.S. history, fleecing shareholders of $63 billion."

Simply incredible...
Just like the rich fag to jump the stump.(Leppert)
What most Americans do not get, is,EVEN IF YOU do not agree with a persons view point,WE all have the same rights to them.
And no one should be arrested, or beaten, or maced for peacful protest.
It's called the Founding Documents.
Lay off the poor NYPD... they're just fulfilling the $5M contract with Jamie D!
Scary, isn't it. Let's worry about the optimal way to allocate capital after we get it back from the thieves who stole it!
Way to go GW!! I can stand behind this clip 100% and will share broadly.
Ratigan continues to beat the right drums, day in and day out.
The two brothers (Obama and Holder) are not going to prosecute. The brother from the repub side (Cain) is a banker....'nuff said. So who does that leave? Supposedly Christian Romney? Please.....Perry? Oh, hell no.... Therefore, our economy will continue to stagnate and die due to corrpution becoming the norm in everyday life, like Mexico and shit.
Dinngleberry, Romney is not a Christian. He is a Mormon. Big diff in theology. Christians believe Jesus is Son of God or God incarnate, he was not created. Jesus identifies himself as the "I am". The Jewish leaders crucified Jesus for claiming to be equall to God. Mormons believe Jesus was created through God and his spiritual spouse having spiritual sex and that satan is his brother. Fail!!!!!!
Big red flag.
Mormons believe Jesus was created through God and his spiritual spouse having spiritual sex and that satan is his brother.
Is this the same God that created the heavens and the earth, the beasts of the forest and the fish in the sea? I find it illogical that he has to have "sex" of any kind to create one little ol' son. See, this is where religion and I part ways - when you need a frontal lobotomy to accept the theology.
And I just noticed that dropping the second "m" from Mormon makes a whole lot of sense.
Disobey.
Get off the crazy juice !
You speak only for yourself.
Hey anti-troll. You're on the wrong blog. You won't get paid for posting here. Take your shit elsewhere.
Why are we talking about fairy tales on a financial blog?
Because those guys take their religion seriously ... their masters make them take it seriously ... their voter bases take it seriously and vote accordingly ... and most people here don't understand the strong connection between all the luciferian flavours (Jewish names that are not Jews but Sabbateans; Roman Catholics that are not Christians but Jesuits; Mormons and high-level Masons that worship lucifer in their temples; etc) and theri connection to events in the Middle East. Any politician or businessman who attends Bohemian Grove, for example, is attending a luciferian ritual that is fundamentally Zionist (and not in the religious jewish context).
Finally, this financial blog is concerned with the significant effects of political appointments and policies on the financial markets ... so people need to be better informed on some of the nuances of religious beliefs and their influence in geopolitics. Over 86% of Americans identify strongly with a religion (compared to around 50% in other developed nations and less than 40% in Northern Europe).
Full disclosure: I'm an atheist.
following up on our discussion from yesterday, I think I agree with you in principle. However putting any label to these people is problematic as they are masters of infiltration and deception. Much easier to take control though deception and infiltration than through direct confrontation. The banking system actually can be traced back to babylon... probably before that even, but we lack the written records to confirm. organized religions are infiltrated and perverted, ultimately used for nefarious ends (look at how Christian evangelicals are used to blindly support the banker/zionist agenda despite that these are the people who litterly killed their messiah and would do it again in a heartbeat). As for mormonism, it is basically just religized masonic control cult. In short, these people have an agenda that goes far beyond money. Money is simply the tool to achieve the goal of total world domination, and we are very close to the time where they attempt the final consolidation.
True that ... had me fooled for a long time into thinking it was just a small group of aristocratic and banking families behind it all. Silly me!
But, irrespective of the origins of the pagan rituals and fairy stories, the Church of Rome and European nobility had a cosy deal over the known world that kept them both in absolute monopolistic authority, with the peasants in the dark ... right up until one Martin Luther upset the apple cart in 1537 by asking some silly questions and beginning the Protestant Reformation. And this happened not long after the printing press and de'Medici had launched the Renaissance that enabled new ideas to spread quickly and widely. The monopoly had been shattered.
Ever since then, both the papacy and the nobility have been trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again to reimpose their "divine right" to jointly rule over the planet.
Hence, they launched a Counter-Reformation shortly thereafter that saw the creation of the Knights of Malta and the Jesuits as military orders devoted to the Holy See -- with the sole intent of destroying the pesky protestants and any other competing religion that denied papal supremacy (eg. Shi'a Islam and Judaism). The battle has dragged on ever since and is ongoing today, stronger than ever (though with some major ups and downs along the way).
My main point is that the move to a New World Order requires massive resources to plot, plan, manage and execute over very long timescales and with a very clear objective. It also requires a very strong and focused idealogical basis to retain control over so many active participants, on both sides of each contrived dialectic, over such a long period of time. This is why the Jesuits have made such progress since they effectively took control of the Vatican nearly 200 years ago and now effectively control the steering committees of most governments, religions, secret societies and international working groups, as well as the owners of the 'insider' banks and corporations.
As I said: New World Order = Olde Worlde Order. All roads lead to Rome! (well, technically, they will lead to Jerusalem if the next phase of their plans is successful ... but without any rabbis in sight).
IMO, if the human race is to retain the advances we have made over the last 500 years and continue to move forward, the American and European sovereign states must stop fucking around with the deck chairs and SECEDE NOW to thwart the plans of the globalists.

Stagnant economy will put socialism. Then after 20 years of high unemployment, US will become like Spain / Greece falling into communism. Then China/Russia coalition will invade America to install "democracy, freedom, and capitalism" by killing off the bankster oligarchy.
Wolverines!
Why do I have the feeling that the OWS protesters are Obama supporters? The media dismisses all teaparty efforts to steer elected officials to adhere to our constitution, yet they provide a forum to legitimize the dysfunctional efforts of the OWS. I hope the Republican Presidential nominee tabs Mr. Black as his running mate.
you are wrong about ows...
You are correct. Underlying it all is Obama's falling poll numbers. These people are talking their orders from orgs like MoveOn who take orders from the White House.
The base needs to be energized and there is no better way then to let the useful idiots loose in there element. Protest in the streets then form some sort of reason for that protest.
They are everything that they accuse the Tea Party of, and they wouldn't be there if Obama was above 50%
you are also wrong about ows...
I would venture that he is better suited to be the first non-auctioned Treasury Secretary in years.
ClassicIdiot_IQ=17:
Why do I have the feeling that you are a complete retard and that ZHers will dismiss all your laughable efforts at semi-literate postings as dysfunctional efforts and will award you the Moron of the Year award for Stupidity in Commentary.
It could be your photo which causes such feelings.
