“Congressman Frank and Senator Dodd wanted the government to push financial institutions to lend to people they would not lend to otherwise, because of the risk of default.

“The idea that politicians can assess risks better than people who have spent their whole careers assessing risks should have been so obviously absurd that no one would take it seriously.” — Dr. Thomas Sowell, Professor Emeritus, Economics, Stanford University,
The folks behind this Movie are looking for some of that Obama Money and your’re not going to get it unless you get off of your A$$ and go work for it.
If Ferguson wanted this presentation of all of these people damning themselves with their own words to be everything you seem to think it is, then he has failed.
OK, so everyone that viewed it with you was informed and educated, yet in the thousands of theaters that will play this, the Dumb-masses will soak it up like natural sponges in sea water. They will not laugh at Soros and Frank blaming Wall Street. The film is propaganda to indoctrinate the proletariat.
All those strikes are valid, yet this is still worth seeing.
The ideological purity here is commendable, but this is a case where the enemy of our enemy is useful.
No, this movie does not lay the blame squarely on the most deserving Democrats.
What is DOES do is absolutely excoriate Obama and his choices to support the bail-outs and to put Geithner, Bernanke and others in place all while getting even more in bed with the Money Masters than his predecessors did.
Here on FR, we know all about the culpability of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Obama and all those Socialist Democrats in congress that aided and abetted the current crisis.
We are also SUPPOSED to know about the Money Masters. The Money Masters are not Wall Street. They are not our government. They are the few and the powerful that OWN Wall street and increasingly, own our government, too.
It doesn’t matter that the Marxists that put this together didn’t try to lay all the blame on Soros and Frank. It doesn’t matter that they failed to tell the whole story.
It does manage to very effectively tell the MOST IMPORTANT part of the story, and it is a story about the world’s Money Masters, and how they have looted us all blind and continue to do so with impunity. It attacks them, even more effectively than we have, because it is getting listened to by liberals, where we would be ignored. Capitalism was not this movie’s target.
It DOES matter that a lot of liberals are going to see this movie and realize they’ve been mugged too! We should see it. We should encourage our liberal friends, associates and enemies to see it and then come to us for the rest of the story.
If it had been produced by Glenn Beck, it would have only preached to the choir, but it was made by one of their own.
Now I’m pretty sure that FreeRepublic is NOT on the side of the Money Masters, and while we may believe in limited government and generally light regulation, we tend to be rather against Bail-Outs, Quantitative Easing (the direct devaluation of the Dollar), and the lack of prosecution and enforcement of the laws and regulations that we do have.
This movies puts current faces on the beast that the three hour “The Money Masters” movie taught us about, and it is powerful. It can be a VERY useful tool in our efforts to educate the Left.
A lot of Liberals that watch this movie are NOT going to be voting for the usual suspects afterwords. We have an opportunity to help that process along.
And if you are a Freeper that hasn’t watched The Money Masters, then you haven’t been doing all of your homework.
It pains me to be here arguing in favor of this movie, considering its source, but I’m not about to let my Conservative pride stop me. What is at stake is too important, and we are not going to win without massive bloodshed if we cannot drag some of the Left along with us.
This movie can help us do that, if we can get past our urge to slaughter the messenger.
I’ll leave you with this quote from http://www.themoneymasters.com/
The purpose of this financial crisis is to take down the U.S. dollar as the stable datum of planetary finance and, in the midst of the resulting confusion, put in its place a Global Monetary Authority [GMA - run directly by international bankers freed of any government control] -a planetary financial control organization- Bruce Wiseman
