‘‘Inside Job’ provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse.

Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.’

‘US corporations are sitting on more cash than at any point since World War II.

That’s without including banks. I’m only talking about nonfinancial corporations – the ones that sell goods and services and make the economy go.

Those businesses hold $1.4 trillion. In absolute terms, that’s the most ever. In relative terms, it’s the most since World War II.

As investors, we can infer quite a bit from corporations’ inability (or unwillingness) to deploy their cash.’

What We Can Learn From Iceland (by TheYoungTurks)

‘“For all the fearmongering we hear out of our politicians on the right about how heaven forbid we’re going to turn into Greece, the one country you never hear them talk about any more is Iceland. The reason they don’t is, as Cenk Uygur explained on his show this Tuesday, they took a different path than the United States after their financial crisis and nationalized the banks, threw some the people responsible for the crash in jail and bailed out the homeowners instead of worrying about only bailing out the banks. And now they’re coming back and their economy is growing again…”.’

‘While we are all focusing on the coming financial collapse, as bad as that is something much more sinister is in the works.  It’s very subtle if you are not paying attention.  But, to the aware,it’s blatant, insidious, and just as horrific as Hitler’s Germany.

There is a small group of the world’s banking elite who have worked for a few hundred years with ingenious precision and unlimited money, to corral, coerce, and conquer every country of value on earth.  For people who are normal and not rabidly greedy, it’s hard to fathom the idea of anyone trying to get control of the whole world, and taking a chunk of every measure of value traded between its people.  What’s even harder to grasp is that they will stop at nothing to do it.  And I mean nothing!  Look around you!  Look at the millions of people slaughtered in just the last 10 years.  Their leaders may have resisted the Cabal, but many if not all of those dead people were innocents.  We have actually become numb to the idea of genocide, even when it’s right under our nose!!!  And we are sadly mistaken if we think we are somehow immune to the wrath of the most evil people on earth.  They want us dead!

They would love nothing better than to use our own military against us by goading us into revolting.  They have really upped the ante lately too.  Swat teaming everyday Americans on a regular basis and making sure it’s in the news, and in our face.  If we finally snap, then they will have their pretext to kill us off en mass.  They love the cover of war for murdering millions. Don’t you think that our trick CIA could have found and destroyed Hussain or Gaddafi without dropping a single bomb?  Smedley Butler was right, war is a racket.  But I get the distinct feeling that it’s just not quite as much fun for this group of psychopaths if there’s not total Mad Max destruction.

If after pondering and researching these facts and events, you come to any other conclusion; you are in need of a serious wake up call.  The Powers That Be (TPTB) have even carved in stone their desire to eliminate 80% plus of the population of the world.  They need a much smaller herd if they are going to be able to steer and control everyone for a One World Government, under their control.  A theme emerges when you look at the big picture. They find the things that we all need to survive or use, then put their agenda in motion.

If you still want to believe your government loves you, let me count for you the ways they don’t.’

‘Britain’s bankers and other finance workers scooped £13billion in bonuses last year as the rest of the country struggled to make ends meet, official figures revealed yesterday.

Critics accused bankers of ‘living in a parallel universe’, making vast sums despite their involvement in causing the financial crisis which is causing pain for millions of ordinary workers.

The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, reveal how bonuses paid to workers in the finance and insurance sector have rocketed over the last decade.

‘In talks to MPs at the Foreign Affairs committee, Cardiff University economist Patrick Minford rejected suggestions that the UK could renegotiate the terms of its membership from within the EU.

He said Britain should “leave” and then negotiate a trading arrangement on a “clean sheet of paper”. Prof Minford warned that the rescue and reform process in the eurozone could take “five to 10 years”.

“We, I think, here tend to overestimate the chances of the euro breaking up. The countries that are most likely to leave in the first instance - say, Greece or Portugal - are absolutely determined to stay in for political reasons”, he said.’

‘A source in the Deutsche Bank explained that in 2008 our financial and monetary system completely collapsed and since that time the banking cartels have been “propping up the system” to make it appear as if everything was fine. In reality our stock market and monetary systems are fake; meaning that there is nothing holding them in place except the illusion that they have stabilized since the Stock Market Crash nearly 5 years ago.’

The man who changed Iceland - the message for Greece. (by vigilantchannel)

‘The man who forced the government of Iceland to resign and kicked out the IMF representatives from his country, Hordur Torfarson, is now teaching meta-modern democracy throughout Europe.The rest of the world would benefit from following the example set by Iceland: Arresting the corrupt bankers who are responsible for the current economic turmoil.

Full employment contributes above all to achieving human dignity.”

‘International Monetary Fund Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, has called for Eurozone countries to hand over more of their sovereignty to the European Union Superstate and the international banking system. In order to save the centralized bureaucracy from complete collapse the former lawyer wants bailout decisions to bypass Governments, with money going directly to failed banks.

After yesterday’s IMF-led conference in Luxembourg, finance minsters of countries using the Euro currency were informed that so called emergency bailout packages should be a process between the unelected EU suits and the private banks themselves, rather than the elected leaders of countries that are in crisis. She suggested that the current system is causing a “negative feedback loop” where Governments go directly in to national debt to bail out banks that operate in their countries.

While this is technically true the idea that some debt burden will be lifted by cutting out the middle man is nothing more than an accounting mirage and fails to address the legitimacy of the debt itself. Under the EU system “we’re all in this together”. If for example the Spanish Government didn’t bail out Bankia earlier this year, and instead the bank was given a direct cash injection from the EU emergency fund, the debt burden on taxpayers within the Eurozone isn’t lifted, it’s just spread around between member states. It’s a control mechanism that keeps power centralized under the EU and the international bankers. EU countries struggling with their own national debt problem caused by borrowing too much from bankers, pledge money they’ve borrowed from bankers to bail out banks in countries that are struggling to pay back bankers they’ve borrowed from. Which ever way you slice it, bankers are the ones sitting atop the system.

The collapse of the Euro was caused by a combination of fraudulent investment banking practises, and in order to save it, power is being centralized further so money can be given directly to reckless and fraudulent banks.’

Blissful Ignorance? Crisis-marred EU hit by new highs of illiteracy (by RussiaToday)

‘Europe’s financial woes have occupied the hearts and minds of EU leaders for some time now. But the crisis has overshadowed another problem - illiteracy. And as RT’s Tesa Arcilla reports, it remains a prominent issue even in the most advanced parts of Europe.’
