Protest on Wall Street Against Bailout

I hit goldbug Jim Sinclair’s blog this morning and he had some YouTube video posted along with a comment from the person who sent it to him.

There are lots of people who should be prosecuted for fraud. I can’t wait to get hold of the text of the bill if the House passes it and see if it let those at fault off the hook. There are texts of the discussion draft on the web. The bill is 110 pages long. I searched a pdf draft for “criminal” and “prosecution” and “penal” and got no hits.

If you want to look at the YouTube videos on Sinclair’s site, you’ll have to scroll down a ways on his homepage because he has subsequent posts.

Protests on Wall Street - what the news media isn’t showing you

Protests took place on Wall St. to protest the bail out plan - and the mainstream news media didn’t even mention it

Hundreds of protestors demonstrated agains the proposed $700 Billion bail out plan for the finance and banking industry, yet the national news media in America didn’t even report it! Why not? It seems strange that this barely generated a gander from the big news outlets like ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC etc. all of whom have a presence in New York City. Despite having such a large protest event occurring in their backyard, the major news media chose not to tell the American people about it. I had to stumble upon this on the internet to find out about it. That’s really indicative of the pathetic state of affairs in the U.S. media today.

Anyway, in case you haven’t seen it, I have collected a bunch of video from the protests on Wall Street (Sept. 25) and posted them below. Have a look at what the news media DIDN’T show you! Warning: some of the protest videos . . . (More)

    I agree 100%. They need to put together something like the Nuremberg Trials. This makes Enron look like a traffic ticket. Unfortunately most of the pundents on TV are still trying to blame this only on bad loans. Bad loans happen all the time, but the bad loans combined with the OTC derivatives and credit default swaps are what have mushroomed this sitiation into a 50’s era movie monster that gets bigger the more you try to kill it.
