1. Prosecutions not forthcoming.
Or perhaps I'm merely a pessimist.

13. Bangsters
Considering the fact that that's Alan Greyson and he's been out of office for 3 mos you would be correct.

4. Without a true campaign financing reform, forget it.
Elections cost big money, to the point some of that money isn't even spent (for example, re: J.Kerry's unspent $49M 'residue' in 2004).

29. Reform couldn't even correct this.
Without publicly financed elections reform legislation would be written with huge loopholes Tailor made for the use of corporate bad actors.

5. this is pretty old
at least last November when Grayson was still in Congress.

Don't expect anything to happen as a result of this.

6. I suspect this video is a few months old
There is no indication that Grayson is a former congressman. He also talks about legislation that he introduced in a present tense, etc.

Can anybody verify the broadcast date on this?

35. Ok so it's not just me thinking that this is old! Agree, need broadcast
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 02:51 PM by axollot
date information so I can share it as recent news or if never broadcast (say segment was cut due to time constraints/breaking news - although Ratigan is a live show right?) I can put the correct info on there.

At least Ratigan does an excellent job explaining the players in this scheme!
Cheers
Sandy

36. I think that it ws from last fall
I haven't been watching Rattigan lately, but I was watching him a lot last fall.

He doesn't mention the nine trillion dollar give away that came into common knowledge on December 2nd or third of 2010. So it is probably before then.

9. Please Everybody watch the new, award winning
Documentary, "INSIDE JOB", and share with as many people as you can. This documentary is very disturbing and very true.
Please, watch and share this. It is the only way Americans might realize who, why and how badly
we are being financially destroyed by about 1000 American Elite, who want it all
And are buying it all. Including, Congress and Presidents.

10. I ay be mistaken, but I do not think this is new.

Dylan Ratigan has been saying this for quite some time now. I don't know how long he's had his show on MSNBC, but ever since he's had it he's been saying this.

Not that I want to defend the MSM. I don't know why MSNBC finally cracked, except that perhaps they finally realized they couldn't out-Fox Fox. And then, Ratigan's show is on kind of early, while most people -- at least, those who are still employed -- are at work.

But yes, Dylan does it, and I love him for it.

Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 08:59 AM by stockholmer
Especially the big one (Bank of Interntional Settlements), the IMF, The World Bank, the ECB, AND the US Federal Reserve. These are privately controlled (via subscription stock) monsters that have gained the whip hand on ALL major nations.

16. The United States of America was built upon a foundation of lies and theft from the very start.
So the lies and the theft by these Wall Street banksters of today (aided and abetted by the collusion of corrupt government officials), is simply the latest in a long, long http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_My_Teacher_Told_Me">history of lying.

- Why would anyone be surprised that liars tell lies or that thieves steal????

K&R

"It's the old American double-standard -- you know: 'say one thing, do something different.' And of course the country is founded on the double standard, that's our history. We were founded on a very basic double-standard. This country was founded by slave-owners who wanted to be free." ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rlqjxst6xU">George Carlin

20. Five cents says they're not indicted. If anything, they'll be sued...
...which means a fine paid from their ill-gotten gains and permanent immunity from the appropriate penalty - a prison cell.

30. Don't fall for the "they're all the same" lie!
That is exactly what the Republicans want us to believe, and it could not be more wrong. It ABSOLUTELY matters who you vote for. Yes, Obama needs Wall Street on board to be reelected. That is why he is doing this dance with financial reform while not prosecuting the banksters. If you think it doesn't matter who you elect, you'll stay home and the Republicans will win. Then, not only will the banksters keep ripping us off, but the loons on the right will dismantle our schools, put fascists on the Supreme Court, ban abortion, ruin our environment, and sell off what is left of our government to the Kochs of this world. In other words, you'll be robbed AND raped. Please people, IT DOES MATTER who you elect. There is a big difference between Jerry Brown and Scott Walker. And there's a big difference between Obama and any of the Republican presidential contenders. VOTE!

31. "Obama needs Wall Street on board to be re-elected?"
"That is why he is doing the dance with financial reform while not prosecuting the banksters?"

Didn't you just prove my point?

32. It's a compromise
Until we elect a supermajority of dems, this compromise is the best we can get. Telling people "they're all the same" only plays in the hands of the repubs.

27. Even though this video and broadcast is over a year old..
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 10:53 AM by 2banon
it's great to review.. It's also interesting that someone as smart and honest as Grayson, got axed out of office by TPB. Ratigan has been all over this from the onset of his shows' debut over a year ago. I'll echo the strong encouragement posted up thread to see Inside Job. Very essential to understanding the architecture of this debacle.

A freindly suggestion to edit the title of the OP so as not to confuse readers..

But thanks for posting this, it was useful as it was a pleasure to see it again.

:thumbsup:

28. But we "look forward".
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 11:35 AM by Enthusiast
And make no mistake, the DOJ has chosen to look forward on this just as they did with Bush malfeasance. About this there is no question.

And incredibly, Republicans are clamoring to defund the paltry new reforms put in place.

The greatest heist in the history of the world continues. They are coming for your social security.

34. When you have a con and a theft
Those who are caught, are arrested and if convicted sent to prison. The question here is what is the next step to proceed to the "ARRESTED" part?
