A Truth Journal: Obama Wants To Hand Over Your Money to Big Banks To Gamble As They See Fit? Seriously?:  From Denny:  Forget about being a lame duck, President Obama is now toast with the American people.  Who the hell wants their President to sell them down the road just to make a government funding deal?  Yes, our President has decided, in his infinite wisdom, to give Big Banks everything their greedy hearts desire.  Unbelievable.

Two weeks before Christmas here are President Grinch, and his evil twin, Wall Street Grinch,  demanding that American taxpayers pay dearly for Big Banks to continue down the dangerous road of a constantly growing $800 trillion in out of control derivatives by bailing out the Big Banks when their risky gambling loses.  The U. S. economy only makes about $20 trillion annually.  How are we supposed to pay off this insane level of derivatives when they go bad?  Read on ...

A Truth Journal: NSA Leak, Comic John Oliver Tells Us Sad Truth: Goldman Sachs Aluminum Pricing Scandal

Comic John Oliver of The Daily Show

A Truth Journal: NSA Leak, Comic John Oliver Tells Us Sad Truth: Goldman Sachs Aluminum Pricing Scandal: From Denny:  Yet another example of President Obama protecting Wall Street corruption.  If ever you doubted just how corrupt our government and financial systems truly are, then take a look at these funny video clips.

The Daily Show's temporary host, comic John Oliver, lays it all out in plain language that even an eight-year-old can understand it.  Oliver brings a precocious eight-year-old little girl on to the show to prove his point. But, apparently, the financial sector reporters are unable to see the obvious corruption and insider trading issues - or are too cowardly to admit their knowledge.

And President Obama and Congress are equally clueless, enabling daily the financial sector's glaring corruption.  Oh, yeah, President Obama's legacy will be just as glaring for all the corruption he did nothing to stop...

Crooked Deal, No Oversight: Bank America Gets $75 TRILLION Bailout From Taxpayers?

Bank of America Image via Wikipedia

From Denny:  Think you know just how scummy the tactics are on Wall Street?  Wait for it because this week the American taxpayers got skunked yet again - and without Congress getting involved.

What happened to screw over Americans?  You see Bank of America got greedy and shoveled toxic derivatives out of their recently purchased Merrill Lynch and into the part of the bank that is insured by the U.S. government: taxpayers.

That way the Merrill Lynch unit of Bank of America will not be responsible for what could be as much as $75 TRILLION in this toxic dump.  That's how much of this garbage they have in house. To get perspective on this, the annual American economy is only $15 trillion.

Jon Stewart Ridicules GOP Mocking Most Of America

From Denny: Jon Stewart hits it out of the ball park yet again.  Here he pulls together copious news clips of the GOP's rallying cry to the American public to "go out into the streets and take back America." Much to their chagrin Americans are doing just that.  It's called Occupy Wall Street protests.

Only problem is that they are the 80 percent of the country the Republicans love to hate:  the middle class, liberals, progressives, labor unions, gays, the unemployed, students who graduated and can't find jobs... you know, most of the country.

One of the clips is especially funny where the GOP tries to sell their tired "class warfare" whine: "It's not nice to pit millionaires against billionaires." That's as crazy as Mitt Romney's recent, "Corporations are people too."

Who ARE these people voted into Congress anyway? We should relabel them from politicians to The Outrageous Who Suck Wall Street Assets.

Can you see it when the news cameras turn off the lights and mikes? Eric Cantor gets on his cell and puts in a call to his Wall Street handlers, "So, now that I've delivered your message have you dropped my $3 million into my account? Oh, good, nice doing business with you in such a timely manner."

Take a look at Jon Stewart's devastating reveal of the GOP Speak Talking Heads selling their stupidity.

News Links: Occupy Wall Street Protests 1 - 12 Oct 2011

From Denny:  Occupy Wall Street is finally getting the attention of mainstream media.  Europe, the Middle East and Asia are as fascinated with the protest movement as are Americans.  Wall Street and other Big Business concerns like Fox News have tried to trivialize the anger of America's majority but to no avail.

The protests are growing exponentially as more people from all different walks of life and age groups are lifting up their voices in protest against America's "bought government" and demanding reform from our highest politicians.

Check out how the media's awareness of the movement has evolved from first "why take them seriously" to "OMG! This is the real deal!"  The protest first erupted in New York City in September.  At the time the organizers planned to march for three weeks.  Now that the movement has morphed and evolved, developing a life of its own, organizers threw that plan out of the window, planning to march indefinitely.

Occupy Wall Street: Are Their Conclusions Correct?

From Denny:  This new American Revolution, Occupy Wall Street, caught fire across America in less than one month of protests.  OWS is spreading to 25 cities like an oozing peanut butter sandwich overflowing with jam - and is now international too.  There is just something so appealing about this protest movement because of its common ground that cuts across the spectrum of race, gender, lifestyle, generations, education and economic class.

Occupy Wall Street Protests Mantra

Occupy Wall Street protesters have been smart in targeting the lynch pin of American society:  the financial sector.  It is the financial sector that buys the politicians to pass the laws to unleash business to have free rein and never enforce what laws are on the books.

It's the financial sector that buys the police force to intimidate ordinary citizens like those incidents of pepper sprayed women during the protests.  Notice they didn't go after men who could pummel them; they went after women.

Jon Stewart Interviews Boomerang Author Michael Lewis About Global Big Banks Disaster

From Denny:  This author decided to go on a walkabout.  Actually, Michael Lewis went on a financial disaster tour of several European countries:  Iceland, Ireland, Greece and Germany.

He wanted to view the global financial disaster through the prism of each culture and what a view he got.  (He is also the author of Moneyball that was recently made into a movie.)

In Iceland he discovered that up until seven years ago the only way to make money in Iceland was fishing.  But, seven years ago," the men literally walked off the fishing boats and walked into the banks deciding to become currency traders in a matter of days."

Even their president went around the world crowing about how Icelanders were natural investment bankers.  Yeah?  Where had that talent been hiding for the past 1,000 years?  The country is only the size of Peoria, Illinois with a population of 300,000.

Like typical men they told the women they knew what they were doing and not to question them.  Who needs directions, right?  They took three small Icelandic banks and morphed them into global banks inside five short years.  They amassed $140 billion.  Looked good, right?

Occupy Wall Street Protests: Where To Find In Your State

From Denny:  The Occupy Wall Street protests are growing so fast that it is tripling every three days.

The mainstream media complains it is too difficult to cover the protests.  That sure sounds like their Big Business handlers and Wall Street are trying to sideline the protesters.

Well, not so fast Big Boys.  The following is America's list by the states and territory of OWS protest events, dates and timeline updates.  The understaffed and unofficial website, Occupy Together, is trying to pull together information and events across the country.  Check in with them and maybe help with the work load if you can.

Meanwhile, you can check in your area where you can join the protests from the list below.

The Twitter page is Occupy The US.

Currently, the protests have left the original New York City birth place and spread out first to 200 cities and now to over 400 cities in less than a week.

It's a new American Revolution that has gone viral as a way to voice America's anger at getting shafted by Big Business and government that refuses to address a serious jobs program and all the ensuing social issues that have been born out of a chaotic economy and long term unemployment.

I'm a journalist.  Do you see me having a hard time covering this OWS protest?  No one owns me so I'm free to speak the whole truth.

New American Revolution: Protests Rampant Against Wall Street Nationwide

From Denny:  The American middle class is angry, angry at the greed of Wall Street that has imploded this once thriving economy, dirtied the air and find themselves now deprived of a living wage or any kind of job.

Protesters began this movement in New York City, rallying against many issues all tied to the financial district's direction it has moved the country.  They protest against excessive corporate greed, global warming and social inequality - and that's just the appetizer course in this new American Revolution.

Gordon Brown Book: 9 Big Banks Manipulating World Economy

Check out the crooked world of global banking.

From Denny: Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown brings into focus the world economic meltdown in his latest book "Beyond The Crash: Overcoming The First Crisis of Globalisation." This video clip is the extended interview and also an exclusive one with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown Exclusive Interview

The revelations of inept government and banking officials is astounding here. Government leaders around the world assumed that bankers were professionals and actually knew and understood the banking system. According to PM Brown, apparently bankers from renowned global Big Banks admitted to not understanding the concept of how to calculate financial risk. That's like saying you don't understand the concept of burning yourself if you put your hand into the roaring fire. Unbelievable.
