MUST SEE - Dylan Ratigan With David Degraw & Bill Black: "We Put The U.S. Treasury Up For Auction And Goldman Sachs Was The Highest Bidder!"

David DeGraw and William Black with Dylan Ratigan.

Degraw, an organizer of Occupy Wall Street says:

• "The Wall Street protests are a rejection of the failed Left-Right Paradigm.  Both parties are to blame and both are owned by the big banks."

Black says:

• "The first thing we have to do is fire Tim Geithner, Eric Holder and force Ben Bernanke to resign.  There is no excuse for not prosecuting all 20 of the largest banks for obvious and demonstrable fraud.  Where is Paul Krugman and his use of the F-word, FRAUD!"

Ratigan says:

• "I hope I get the pleasure of covering Bill Black's prosecution of the banks in 2012"

Read the following story from David Degraw for a complete timeline (going back months) on how the protests got started:

Meanwhile, back at the CNBC mothership on Squawk, ARS implies that OWS is anti-semitic (to guest Bill Richardson): "Did you see the sign that read "Google = Jewish billionaires"? Are you OK with that?"

Here we go...

Josie--

The corporate media cannot assimilate the terrific force behind the #OWS movement. Its red and blue factions and their respective corporate sock puppet parties will stop at NOTHING to derail a movement that's beyond their comprehension.

This latest attack is the most desperate yet and tells us a lot more about MSM--they're scared shitless--than it does about #OWS. If you wanna know what #OWS is all about, go to a daily General Assembly in the #Occupy town nearest you.

Any movement that becomes a threat will always first be attempted to take over, then if that fails, to discredit it. Good interview, I have always liked Black.

Me too, Gomp. Ever since the Lehman Bankruptcy Report came out, I've been waiting for either Bill Black or Tony Valukas (Lehman bankruptcy examiner and report author) to head up a new Pecora Commission. That that hasn't happened is a testament to the depravity of Wall Street whores infesting D.C. Consequently, we are beginning to witness ideas being floated like what sounds an awful lot like a new constitutional convention...

Josie, Bill Richardson can go straight to hell (same with Larry Summers). This is when the rubber hit the road for me.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Ohio police armed with assault rifles were on the hunt Wednesday for dozens of potentially dangerous wild animals that were released from a Zanesville wildlife preserve by their owner, who later committed suicide, according to media reports. Roughly 48 animals are believed to have escaped the privately-owned preserve, located roughly 50 miles east of Columbus. The animals include wolves, grizzly bears, tigers, and cheetahs. As of Wednesday morning 39 of the animals had been reportedly shot by police, while personnel from the nearby Columbus Zoo attempted to subdue others with tranquilizer darts or lure them back to their pens with food. Area schools, along with many local businesses, have been closed until further notice. Ohio officials have likewise advised that residents stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until further notice.

@ cheyenne

I hear ya. Just noting that, as of this AM, at least ARS will now play the anti-semite card re: OWS. Others sure to follow...

And the Lehman bankrupcy exposed the accounting trickery I'm sure others were doing as well. Why did M/S suddenly need ~$108 billion from the Fed window at ~0% (while the wives were abusing TALF mind you)? Why did Mack take a $9 billion check from the Japanese? Why did GSuchs convert to a bank holding company and then bury 4Q '08 in the reporting transition (unless I'm mistaken here)? Who the fuck is watching these criminals?

It seems to me that all these fuckers did was lever up, compile and pass around garbage, take HUMONGOUS/GINORMOUS CASH bonuses (not much stock, relatively) during this time, and blow the entire economy out of the milky way...then get made "whole" by us thereafter...but the taxpayers made money on the bailout (if you take out AIG and GM and GMAC and maybe GE and all the free $$$ the Fed was shoveling out the door), right Erin Burnett? Is Citi/taxpayer $$$ buying you a pad in the Hamptons after you wed the bankster?

...and this PM, I watched CNBC's David Faber "interview" James Gorman, the CEO of M/S, but he failed to ask about the Fed borrowing??? $108 Bil and you don't ask? Are you f'n me? This is journalism??? Nothing to ask here, just move along...

[chunga]

...and the MSM keeps asking "what are they protesting about?" I'd pay to watch a debate between Black and Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, Cain, Romney, etc.

Why no one wants to talk about the collusion of the Big Banks and Government beats the hell out of me. Big banks have gotten bigger because the politicians know they have to have some really big "Primary Dealers" GS, MGS, BNP, BAC, JPM etc. to with enough liquidity to be able to swallow the amount of Treasury paper being turned out by Timmy Gheitner. If the Bigs go away who will take on the role of the Anaconda that they have?? Oh that's right then the " Illusion" will be over and the FED will be the only purchaser of Treasury debt aside from foreign banks and governments who need dollar liquidity to engage in global commerce. So then the Gubment will have to raise revenue the old fashion way...Direct Taxation or Balanced Budget. So they have to be big to swallow the debt we churn out thru deficit financing and if there's no perceived private entity there to swallow Treasury Debt It will look like Debt Monetization directly by the FED!!!!! Gee wonder what would happen to interest rates if we took down the big banks guys ????? think about it!!!
