1. Thom, what can be done on this side of the ocean?

[Enthusiast]

10. The banks don't want

regulation so there will be no regulation. Not the kind of regulation that matters, anyway. We will get window dressing regulation.

2. Posting this on FB.

As always, great show.

[liberation]

3. Great to see someone who understands the situation explain it so eloquently...

... a lot of posters in DU were already salivating about the prospect of blaming this clusterf*ck on them Euroepans having the gall of having a social safety network.

Sometimes I think that a lot of people keep on taking the wrong exit to Freerepublic ever since Obama got elected, and they end up in DU.

4. what's so bad about shorting an entire country?

there's money to be made.

[Joanie Baloney]

5. Nope. Enron already stuck it in and broke it off.

They can try but we're tapped out.

6. Webster Tarpley: Birther, LaRouche spokesman, psyop

During the mid-2000s, Tarpley rose to fame as a 9/11 Truther who self-sabotaged the movement (the "Kennebunkport Warning"), attacking Cindy Sheehan as a liar.

Tarpley metamorphosed from a 2006 Bush-basher into a 2007 Hillary-basher ("Hitlery Clinton") when Hillary looked to be the nominee.

After Obama became the prospective nominee in 2008, Tarpley transformed into a Hillary-supporter and was one of the ORIGINAL Birthers.

Tarpley originally got his start in the 1990s as a LaRouche spokesman.

Great choice for a guest, Hartmann.

7. Yikes! He's right about Europe though.

Thom should have found a better spokesman for the issue, there are plenty:

9. Tarpley provided valuable new insight into the hedge funds and

the bailout debacle I haven't heard anywhere else. I thought this was a particularly interesting interview and I am glad Thom chose to broadcast it. You must not listen to the Thom Hartmann's show very often. Thom Hartmann regularly features guests on his program across the political spectrum, often those guests are diametrically opposed to Thom's own viewpoints.

That said I have been a Democrat all my life; however I don't think any party or political philosophy has the total market on truth.
Overall I think Democrats have a wide lead.

[dotymed]

12. I think Democrats "had a wide lead" until the

reagan regime. Since the greed became institutionalized through rayguns "free market" bullshit,which also institutionalized constant media propaganda, I believe that there are no longer two-separate parties. "Both" are owned and dictated to, by the "ruling elites." You cannot presently become President unless you kiss their ring. I am a lifelong Democrat who feels compelled to switch to the socialist party. Free market capitalism has already destroyed most of our world.

15. +1. nt

8. Time for the MOD SQUAD to invade their fortresses and steal their plans and

tip off the cops of the big steal.

[dotymed]

11. Obama, man of the people.

Why doesn't Obama use his "Unitary Executive" (that he inherited from w, another wartime president)powers to immediately outlaw these predatory gangs. Inner city gangs are much nicer, even if they just shoot you. Of course these hedge funds are based in America. We have financed them. Now they can prevent our citizens from discovering just how fair these "Socialist" countries are to their citizens. Despicable! I wish Thom would call for a national day of protest. The goal being at least 1 million Americans, non-violently protesting, across our nation to take our government back form the banksters.

13. and this opinion from Webster.... hey who is webster.... worth looking up THIS reference....

Webster Griffin Tarpley is an author, historian, journalist, lecturer, and critic of US foreign and domestic policy. Tarpley maintains that the September 11 attacks were engineered by a rogue network of the military industrial complex and intelligence agencies.<1> His writings and speeches describe a model of false flag terror operations by a rogue network in the military/intelligence sector working with moles in the private sector and in corporate media, and locates such contemporary false flag operations in a historical context stretching back in the English speaking world to at least the "gunpowder plot" in England in 1605. He also maintains that "The notion of anthropogenic global warming is a fraud."
