Hi boys and girls.

It´s been awhile since i made a thread.
yesterday i had to work and also sleep there. (i work with handicapped children and i'm their 'safeguard' for the night)
So at around 11 I went to bed, turned on the tv and saw a documentary.
This is the one i'll share with you today.

It was an eye-opener and one that left me speechless.
This is seriously a MUST-WATCH.
The documentary is called 'Inside Job' but has nothing to do with 9/11.
It's a documentary done about the causes leading up to the financial crisis and how the banksters got away with their crimes.
All i can say after watching the documentary is that it is a GLOBAL HEIST and an absolute crime against mankind.
The most saddening part is that NONE of these banks, institutions and/or persons have been prosecuted.
Please ladies and gentleman, watch this documentary to understand why the world is in the mess it's in.
It's absolute madness.
Watch it and get mad, get very very mad and get off your arse!
This is INSANITY!


nside Job is a 2010 documentary film about the late-2000s financial crisis directed by Charles H. Ferguson. The film is described by Ferguson as being about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption."[3] In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis.


The official trailer can be found below, as to peak your interest.



full documentary can be seen/downloaded at the following link

Please get back to me with your thoughts.
Imho this is something that everyone should see.
It doesn't matter if you are American or not, this crisis affected everyone and everybody.
The poor got F-ed the hardest though, like always.

The banks have only carried out their orders. As your research deepens, you will discover this easily enough. You are shocked to the core and this should tell you how much of your faith was placed into created things rather than your Creator. God Almighty is going to remove them all and it will bring those whom He calls to repentance for ever having placed their Faith in anything or anyone else other than Him. Don't get angered about these things, get sorrowful. The first emotion will lead you to accept their "coming solution", but the latter emotion will lead you to accept God Himself.

Excuse me for being mad when these thugs got away with tremendous crimes that left tens of millions unemployed and not only that, it impoverished the poor even more.

I call that human emotion and compassion, it has nothing do with me placing faith in a system and turning to god for guidance.

Please don´t make this into a religious debate and just watch the documentary.

Soooo, god has brought the economy down to teach us a lesson?
Wow, some "deus ex machina"-explanation, if I ever read one.

LOL so true. Government plays a hand in this coverup/scandal/corruption as well. Bernie Madoff goes to jail for stealing from rich people. Big banks and corporations steal even more from middle class people. No one gets in trouble. Welcome to our world filled with so much greed, selfishness, hate and pure evil.

Inside Job is a great film which I like to show people and their reaction is always utter disgust.
Funny thing is it barely scratches the surface though I suppose it would have to be 8 hours long to get into everything.
Definitely recommended viewing.

Thier Financial Terrorists that have wrecked havoc across America and the world, and they own our government.
Keep reading and researching.

The bailouts and quantitative easing was another heist as well, otherwise, if the markets were allow to correct, things would have been a lot cheaper, which would mean less profits for the crooks.

Get your money out of the bank while you still can.

Damn it feels good to be a bankster ...



But in all seriousness, have you read the book, "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by Edward Griffin?

Totally agree with you, banks, corporate elites, IMF etc. There's a lot of info out there.
The problem is what can you do.?
I hate to get too apathetic but they have us all by the short and curlies. A lot of people have to feed their families and pay off the mortgage, we are like mice on a treadmill and if we get off the treadmill we are screwed.
The bank will take your home, the missus will take off with the kids and you'll pretty soon be a bum on the street.
So again what can you do ?, getting angry wont help.
You'll probably end up in jail for whatever justified violence you've heaped on a bank official.
This is why I came to this site and trolled here for a year or so before joining.
This is where I keep my eyes and ears to the ground. You are right to be angry, but you need to bide your time.
I think when TSHTF there will be a lot of angry ATS'ers ready to act then.

COMBINE the systemic corruption of the United States financial services industry, with the CONSTANTLY-RISING numbers at this link: costofwar.com... and what we have is a NIGHTMARE that we may NEVER escape.

The financial service must be REGULATED BIG TIME, and the WARS must STOP. CONserrvatives dont wish to acknowledge that and just want to CUT and GUT anything for the people while keeping the CASINO and WARS going FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

SAD, SAD, SAD!!

The only thing I'd add to that is rebuilding the industrial sector ...

If we could regulate the Fed, end the wars, and bring back the manufacturing jobs ...we just might have a chance.

In 1994, well before the financial crisis hit, Brooksley Born, tried to regulate derivatives, which is the number one ticking time bomb.

Go see this documentary listed at the link below
13 Bankers walked into Summers office and told them who is boss:

www.pbs.org...



"I walk into Brooksley's office one day; the blood has drained from her face," says Michael Greenberger, a former top official at the CFTC who worked closely with Born. "She's hanging up the telephone; she says to me: 'That was [former Assistant Treasury Secretary] Larry Summers. He says, "You're going to cause the worst financial crisis since the end of World War II."... [He says he has] 13 bankers in his office who informed him of this. Stop, right away. No more.'"


There will be no regulation when the thieves are in charge fo the henhouse.

how the banksters got away with their crimes


I think you missed the point, you continue to attribute the blame to the banksters but fail to point to the read culprits. the politicians and the corrupt system we live on. The banksters and the politicians may at time be the same but not always and not all at bankers and politicians are intrinsically working to exploit the general public, there are the rare kind that still upholds the ideals of serving the people but mostly are only interested in serving themselves, the core culprit is the system and what we can take back is that it does not work and probably never did. Ultimately it is those that run the underlying system that are to blame and have failed us all...

We could kick all politicians and bankers out to the street (or prison) that they would soon be replaced.

What can you do?
I'll tell you what you can do, you can simply dump your bank!!!
I did a long time ago and have not looked back, I have also not payed a single bank fee since.
It is nice knowing how much money I have at all times and the fact that someone cannot simply subtract a zero and financially crush me!
I have lived fine without banks, we could do awesome without banks, "they" cannot survive without US.
Simple.

honestly...?

did you watch the documentary?

it's not about the populace and the consuming it does, it's about how banksters and institutions gambled with YOUR money.

In the process they made HUGE bucks and left the people, who the money belonged too, poor and bankrupt.

sure i get it, but see through it.


there was no good reason to respond to the crises the way they did...except there was


that's all I'm trying to say. the crises would be well over if we did a debt jubilee and reassessed our true assets to "reset" the system.

why didn't that happen
other plans are in place
