Black was a central figure in exposing Congressional corruption during the Savings and Loan Crisis. He took the notes during the Keating Five meeting that were later published in the press, and brought the event to national attention and a congressional investigation.
According to Bill Moyers,
"The former Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention now teaches Economics and Law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. During the savings and loan crisis, it was Black who accused then-house speaker Jim Wright and five US Senators, including John Glenn and John McCain, of doing favors for the S&L's in exchange for contributions and other perks. The senators got off with a slap on the wrist, but so enraged was one of those bankers, Charles Keating — after whom the senate's so-called "Keating Five" were named — he sent a memo that read, in part, 'get Black — kill him dead.' Metaphorically, of course. Of course."[4]

My problem with OWS is that they think there fighting "The Man" that all cops have no feelings or family and they are trained in a secret masonic ninja bunker in a volcano where obama is building nazi ufos.

I am so tired of the haters that are quick to tear into the occupy movement.

some of us are intelligent enough not to blindly follow fools and idiots who arent bright enough to realise they're nothing more than pawns.
nor do we need others to speak for us - we speak for ourselves and live life on our terms not the terms of others.
