Video of Rally on Yes He Can Day

I did find the video of our protest. Pardon the commercial.




Wouldn’t you know that they would pick the snip-it of the part of the interview where I was most tongue-tied and conveyed the least amount of information. They also picked the part of the statement that did not implicate the big banks and bankers.

For a little background on this rally, see my previous post Robert Reich: Why We Should Investigate Banker Mortgage Fraud.


Banksters and Gangsters

I found the link to this video in The Real News article Banksters and Gangsters.


Dylan Ratigan talks to Eliot Spitzer, former NY Attorney General, on what’s wrong with Wall Street, and what needs changing in the $700 Trillion-plus global swaps market, which our tax dollars subsidize. Part of it should be deemed “online gaming” they say.

To clarify, they are doing “online gaming” with your pension fund unbeknownst to you.

I know that Eliot Spitzer speaks very rapidly, but I hope you can get an understanding of what he is describing in amongst the jargon and the rapid fire delivery.

It is yet another explanation as to the way in which some of the ultra-rich get that way by gambling and scamming rather than working hard at useful pursuits. They get rich by ripping you off, not by selling a product or service that helps you in any way.

With enough repetition of the many ways this ripoff is legalized, I am hoping that enough people will hear about this so as to get a clue at what is being done to them in the name of not being socialist or European.
