CSPAN jsut cut of coverage of the Bankster hearing...

[dixiegrrrrl]

claimed they were having transmission problems, but somehow are managing to transmit a current news conference.
The segment they cut was the Accounting firms recommendations for tighter regulation.
Cspan says it will "re-broadcast" the hearings at "a later time".
usually this is after 10 pm at night.

1. The sound was cutting in and out a few minutes ago. I guess I flipped back

to MSNBC before they pulled the plug.

MSNBC did show a little clip of an exchange, so I'm glad they're keeping it 'out there'.

2. yep--and the nets and cablenets drop in for a visual or two (no audio)

and say the banks are getting grilled today. How would we know?

Oh well, move along. Nothing to see here.

3. My guess is too many unemployed people at home could be tuning in, since they have the time and all.

Missed too much of the first group, the second panel had interesting things to say but everybody stops short of the one word I want to hear, and it ain't confusion, but collusion. So many systematic failures of regulatory safeguards blamed on "the pace of innovation" and merging what services could be provided by whom in financial markets.

I am by no means an economic expert but it seems to me, what happened here is what it looks like, which boils down to the biggest land and money grab, ever. The power elite has executed this with the kind of precision that speaks to a motive. The viability of the American public has been placed deliberately out of reach and what remains is the result of the ravenous nature of greed. Aristocracy scoffs at the notion of a rabble without royalty to rule it.

I've recently seen something of an undergroundish documentary called Zeitgeist. The last segment draws interesting conclusions and uses great quotes from the founders on what to be wary of when considering the structure of a nation's finances. As disappointed as I was not to see more cited sources from more contemporary venues, it provided a lot of good, but scary info.
