This time he shares his views on Wall Street.

This is not as good as his appearance last year.

How about 7 billon pissed off saying NO! NO! NO! From another man who makes sence, not surrender thinking nonsense. A video worth the time for us all who have been beat down by illegal actions in the name of selfish greed.

"What happened on Wall Street over the past decade was an unparalleled crime wave. Yet at most, maybe 1,500 federal agents were policing that beat – and that little group of financial cops barely made any cases at all. Yet when thousands of ordinary people hit the streets with the express purpose of obeying the law and demonstrating their patriotism through peaceful protest, the police response is immediate and massive. There have already been hundreds of arrests, which is hundreds more than we ever saw during the years when Wall Street bankers were stealing billions of dollars from retirees and mutual-fund holders and carpenters unions through the mass sales of fraudulent mortgage-backed securities."

Key insight there.

Charles Ferguson was right when at the Oscar's he lamented the fact that no one's gone to jail in this financial crisis. But the real tell is what Bill Black points out: the S&L crisis saw 1000+ convictions as the result of 10,000 criminal referrals. (A criminal referral is like a legal brief. In 20-30 pages, it makes the case for prosecuting so-and-so. Attached to the brief are 200-300 pages of exhibits, comprising emails, letters, etc.) In the current crisis, there have been 0 criminal referrals. ZE-RO.

Now Taibbi's observation isn't so jarring. Unnerving, yes, to learn what "protect and serve" means exactly, but not jarring.

Maybe a better way to think of a criminal referral is to think of this website, dailybail.

If I recall correctly, one of DB's chief objectives in doing this site at all was to lay a record, a contemporaneous record, of both the charges and the evidence.

A person so inclined could make several criminal referrals just from within the 4 corners of this website. How much work would that take you? Maybe 6 hours, maybe a week? But you could do it--unlike our so-called Department of Justice.

Tiocfaidh ár lá and when it does it will be in the form of a new monetary system based upon the American system and rejecting the debt driven enslavement system of the European banking elites. Our problems began with the assassination of Lincoln, the betrayal by his secretary of state, and the death blow was felt in 1913. FED = fed up with this BS

[Dave]

Cheyenne, I totally agree. I wish I could find an article that spoke of the "Bloggers" as really the last truth. To put it in short. The American system of injustice is so poisened that seeking truth is a real challenge. As is justice/due process has become.

Not that Clint Eastwood made this saying up but it does ring true. "There really are no secrets in life". Though I believe that I also feel pretty disheartened. I think that's why I memorized an MLK quote that also rings true. "I believe that justice is indivisable. I know that injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice eveywhere".

TDB rocks!
