I urge every reader here to take ten minutes out of your day sometime soon and watch this video. Then, if you believe as I do, that it is the most powerful, most truthful exposé available as to the criminal government/Wall Street elements that are behind our current economic meltdown, please send it to as many people as you can.
I know many of you have volunteered, or will be volunteering, to work for the election of McCain-Palin. I will be doing the same. But there is no amount of envelope licking, phone calling, or wearing out of shoe leather that will be able to match the distributing via e-mail of this ten-minute video that fingers the culprits that the media are attempting to keep under wraps. Those culprits are directly involved in this election and the desire to attain the White House and retain control of Congress.
We cannot allow that to happen, and I believe the compilation of facts that this video represents, if placed in the hands of all thinking Americans, will see to it that it doesn't.
In his attempt to explain the causes of this crisis, the President insinuated in his speech of last night that it all started because America’s economy was considered so brilliant that it attracted investors from all over the world. As a result, banks and financial institutions were awash in money, and that state of affairs planted the seed for this debacle. (*choke*)
That is the greatest whitewash of the reasons for this catastrophe imaginable. Either President Bush is completely ill-informed and he believes that tripe, or he is the most blatant liar since Gepetto’s son walked off the woodcarver’s bench.
After the President’s speech, and after I stopped spitting nails, my husband and I watched Brit Hume and his panel on FoxNews offer up a brief analysis.
Charles Krauthammer, who is among my favorite political pundits, opined that the speech was quite good, and that he was surprised that the President spent virtually one-fifth of it attempting to explain the causes of the current crisis – since, in Krauthammer’s opinion, doing so amounts to simply an ‘academic exercise’.
An ‘academic exercise’? To discern what caused this major economic meltdown? Shall we just accept the notion that ‘too much foreign money’ floating around in American banks was the catalyst?
If we don't uncover the reason for this crisis, and determine who was responsible for it, will there be any reform? Or, post-bailout, will the perpetrators eventually continue with business-as-usual? Anyone who has an even rudimentary knowledge of government at any level has the answer to that question at his fingertips.
We are being fed whitewashed reports about the cause of this economic meltdown. If the true perpetrators of this massive criminal undertaking that promises to have devastating effects on the American people for decades to come are not uncovered, removed from power, and punished, there is no hope of realizing the kind of all-encompassing economic and political reform that will be necessary to not only stabilize our economy, but to ensure our very survival as a free republic.

I’ve watched it and I don’t think it goes far enough to hold Bush accountable. It talks about Carter and Clinton, but falls short in making folks aware of how hard Bush was pushing his “ownership society” and the challenge to give 5.5million families mortgages. Many of those graphs in the video show an upward spike right around 2002...exactly when Bush made his challenge to financial institutions. And we now know that many of those loans went to illegal aliens. We will never learn from this if people like Bush don’t take responsibility for what he/she has done.

bttt
Bookmarking your post for future reference. Thank you SO MUCH for doing all of this research, and sharing it!
I think Dems are playing this to the max to get Obama elected because they think the news wont get out. voters wont believe it and that encomy is Obama’a strong suit. somthin aint right folks and I hope Republicans will make that clear even if they have to buy time on tv.
Not so much "research" as "search". All the research credit goes to the creator of the video. But you're welcome just the same.
Of course not. This proves that they had everything to do w/ it and with the media keeping it out of the limelight, this just further proves it. If this really had anything to do w/ Repubs, the lame stream media would have been on this like white on rice.
TOO BAD ALSO that McCAIN didn’t take that stuff on the table against OUSSBAMA
It looks like we got mugged and the cops are in on it.
Terrific video!
Democrats were hoping that no one would be able to present such a clear analysis of the meltdown.
This video proves that they were wrong.
SOROS ,BUFFET...how do you explain that many rich financiers are in the liberal wagon?
It’s rather clear for me that undemocratic ,brainwashing,liberal-fascism spread by big MSM(linked to big international business)is the wet dream of rich financiers with no other principles or values other than their money.They know that brainwashed(MSM are great for that) slaves will always pay over and over against some little help from the God/Big Government
Nice list. I have copied it for use elsewhere. Thanks!
1. The Surgeon Generals Warning in the beginning of the video by the author practically begs the viewer to make liberal use of the pause button.
2. If someone is unable to get the point without being punched in the nose, they should not be allowed to vote.
Jim, thank you for putting this in a prominent place for all to see. This was posted ad nauseam by concerned FReepers who want the truth.
It’s a sad commentary on the state of the aging liberal hippies in the main stream media when it is up to private citizens armed with websites and e-mails to spread the truth.
Somebody has to be willing to do the job that the leftists won’t do.
This is where George Orwell was wrong when he wrote 1984 in 1948. He only saw the use of technology as a means for Government to crack down on it’s citizens.
He had no way of knowing that 70 years later the same technology could be used against Gubmint control.
BTW, when did Dire Straits, Talking Heads and Tom Petty become garbage music? :-)
The ORIGINAL version (limited to ten minutes) has OVER 600,000 views...wait until ‘talk radio’ starts spreading the word...
Video from the Mouthpiece: "Covering Your Fannie, Who Really Caused Our Economic Crisis?"
The background music is too loud. Had to mute the sound just to finish without doing an upchuck (as in ‘a schumer’).
Ping for the video on how to explain the meltdown
