The Warning: Must See Frontline Video

This film is beautifully constructed and worth watching based on its artistic merits alone. the photography is amazing.

There was a Frontline video from the early nineties called "The Crash" about how these same boys used billions of Tax dollars to quietly engineer a huge bail out of these same big investment banks who were lending money at 24% interest A MONTH to places like Mexico, Russia and Brazil. Naturally witht those terms default was only a matter of time.

Currency speculators in Thailand drove that nation into the ground and that precipitated a cascade of currency rip offs all over the planet that quickly spread to Latin America where their currencies came under speculative attack making it impossible for them to service their international loans denominated in U.S. dollars.

The so-called free marketeers Rubin and Greenspan stepped in with hundreds of millions of Federal Reserve dollars and IMF money to make the investment banks whole. They let only one government (Russia) sink under the pressure because most of the money in that lending scheme belonged to the liberal minded financier George Soros.

Way back then Frontline identified the two U.S. Senators who sponsored the legislation that made THAT wreckless speculation possible. Their names were Christopher Dodd and Joe Leiberman

One need only look at the surrealistic convoluted nature of the healthcare "debate" to understand who owns this government lock, stock and barrel. I can only laugh when some folks point an accusing finger at Afghanistan's "corrupt" government. We just go ripped off for trillions of dollars and all I hear across the land is some confused and manipulated tea baggers and mostly snoring from everybody else.

When the real effects of this latest heist set in, the culprits will be long gone. President Zippity Doo Da will do still another a populist song and dance expressing OUR rage but covering THEIR escape.

Suddenly old folks are going to wonder why the Chinese cut us off and we just can't continue to finance Social Security any more. The good news for the rest of the world is that our blood swolen military industrial penis will shrivil to the size of a tiny worm and we'll be barely able to float a row boat on the Potomac.
