1. I watched this on RT yesterday.

It is a must-see video. It is full of information that explains "our" sick economic policies and the evil politics behind them. Especially if you are a "party-first" person, you need to get this information. In the 2nd half he is joined by Greg Palast who explains this non-partisan fucking of Americans. Stacy Herbert, for a change, also acts as more than a sounding board and arrives at some obvious conclusions. While I do sometimes watch The Kaiser Report, This is by far the most informative episode that I have ever seen.
Imo, this uses the investigative talent of Palast and the passion of Keiser to reveal some shocking economic truth. Stacy Herbert connects the dots, not in her usual casual style but in a way that drives these facts home.
This information is fact, not deduction or speculation that Keiser usually depends on.
Every American should be exposed to this.

3. Greg Palast

During the Bush Regime this man was hot on the trail of the election theft and rigging of the next election. Here on DU I read many people praising his investigative reporting. He had the Official DU Stamp of Approval. Fast forward to today and a thread on the TPP:

Mr. Palast has committed the unforgivable and capital crime of pointing out the emperor has no clothes and now currently resides under the bus. I wonder how soon Mr. Kaiser (A DU regular feature) will reside there now that he has allowed Mr. Palast to repeat his claims about President Obama on his show? Maybe we should start a DU office pool?

5. What you've described happens frequently, here...

One could generate an extensive list of those who were praised, until they are intemperate enough to speak unkindly about Mr. Obama.

Then, instead of speaking to the substance of their claims, they're just unceremoniously thrown under the bus.

It's amazing that it's assumed no one will notice the illogical nature of that.

4. What Palast says about Obama...

Obama basically works for Summers and the banksters. Rubin, Pritzker and Dimon found Obama, a rather unknown Senator, and got behind him. They raised three-fourths of a billion $$ to name themselves a President. Within hours of the "election" (inauguration ?) Obama named Summers and his dog Spotty (Geithner) to run the economy. The deal was cut. He (Obama) works for these guys.

I wonder how those who believe in supporting Obama no. matter. what. feel about this.


Edit to add: I wrote this post before reading tazkzmo's post #3, above. I guess we're both asking the same question.
