Good Videos To Watch Today

July 22, 2008

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Here are some great videos which details naked short selling thanks to Mr. Byrne, a famous victim of this practice. Also, an interview by Bill Moyers and William Geider. Very good stuff there. And the videos of Kucinich trying to stop the secret meeting set up by the GOP and DNC to talk about how they plan to spy on the American People. Very revealing and very important. I supported his candidacy and alas, he got no media and thus, little traction. But he is smart and brave.

Click here for the PBS video interview. There is also a transcript.

BILL MOYERS: With me now is one of America's leading chroniclers of money, power, and politics, who says what's happening is the disgrace of Wall Street, its excesses paid for by people like those in Cleveland and millions like them around the country.

William Greider has spent forty years examining how powerful institutions affect ordinary people. Once a top editor of THE WASHINGTON POST, a columnist for ROLLING STONE, and now National Affairs Correspondent for THE NATION, he has produced a series of best-selling books: SECRETS OF THE TEMPLE: HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE RUNS THE COUNTRY, ONE WORLD, READY OR NOT: THE MANIC LOGIC OF GLOBAL CAPITALISM, WHO WILL TELL THE PEOPLE: THE BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, and this one, THE SOUL OF CAPITALISM. He's working on a new book with the title: COME HOME, AMERICA.

Good to see you in person.

House Holds Rare Secret Session on Spy Bill
The House of Representatives postponed a vote on a spy bill Thursday after Democrats agreed to a request from Republicans to hold a rare secret session to discuss what they termed classified security matters. It marked the first time a secret session was held in a quarter of a century and only the sixth time in the House's history. We speak with Ohio Congressmember Dennis Kucinich, who refused to attend the secret session. [includes rush transcript]

On March 13th 2008 there was a secret closed door meeting of The United States House Of Representatives in Washington.The story was first released in a newspaper out of Brisbane, Australia revealing the contents of the secret U.S. Government meeting and plans for America including all of it's citizens.Dennis Kucinich, refused to attend the secret session.

Here is a good Democracy Now interview of Kucinich:

It's mainly about Big Brother, but he talks about monetary theory too, and an interesting thing happens when he does. Skip ahead to 2:17:40.

Bill Moyer is a great journalist. Moyers was cloaked by the veil of silence and only recently returned to the airwaves. Maybe Elaine will get an interview.

"Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error... They are the natural enemies of error, and of error only... If [free enquiry] be restrained now, the present corruptions will be protected, and new ones encouraged." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVII, 1782. ME 2:221

Hmmmmm, Does Phil Gramm own stock in Rolaids? From Der Spiegel:
"...the same panel took aim at the LGT bank and Swiss banking giant UBS in a report accusing the banks of helping Americans evade paying up to $100 billion (€63.3 billion) annually.
...Tax havens are engaged in economic warfare against the United States," Democratic Sen. Carl Levin told the committee
...Mark Branson, chief financial officer of UBS Global Wealth Management and Business Banking, expressed regret(yeah, right. regret on being caught)... In addition, Branson announced that his bank would no longer provide US residents with offshore banking and securities services from Switzerland-based branches, but only from branches based in the US."

AND HERE'S WHERE THE SH*T HITS THE FAN:"...Branson also added that the bank would cooperate with US authorities "to identify the names of US clients who may have engaged in tax fraud," according to the AP. Branson justified the decision by saying that the client-identity protections in Swiss laws were not meant to extend to cases involving tax fraud."

Russian Bombers Could Be Deployed to Cuba:

Russian bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons could be deployed to Cuba in response to U.S. plans to install a missile defense system in Eastern Europe, a Russian newspaper reported Monday, citing an unnamed senior Russian air force official.

"the names of US clients who may have engaged in tax fraud,"

How kind of UBS to refer to tax fraud criminals as US clients. Undoubtedly, if Al Capone was alive today, he would be considered a wealthy private investor and receive preferential treatment. Today Capone would receive a slap on the hand, and a pat on the back. Poor misunderstood Al, born in the wrong era.

Capone was indicted for income tax evasion for the years 1925-29. He was also charged with the misdemeanor of failing to file tax returns for the years 1928 and 1929....Judge Wilkerson sentenced him to a total of ten years in federal prison and one year in the county jail. In addition, Capone had to serve an earlier six-month contempt of court sentence for failing to appear in court. The fines were a cumulative $50,000 and Capone had to pay the prosecution costs of $7,692.29.

Ah, the Good ole days of do the crime, pay the time.
