In theaters: October 8th, 2010

From Academy Award® nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson (“No End In Sight”), comes INSIDE JOB, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia. Narrated by Academy Award® winner Matt Damon, INSIDE JOB was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

1. I've seen this.

It's well worth watching.

[Patchuli]

2. All I want to see is justice

and white collar crims doing time in orange...

[Mimosa]

4. Are there any prosecutions?

Madoff was low hanging fruit.

[1776Forever]

3. Yes! And Ohioans who aren't listening are going to elect one of the biggest "insiders" as Governor!

We can only hope they WAKE UP before that happens!

5. WaMu

Bush and Paulson stole WaMu, a solvent bank with 300+B$ in assets, 2,200 branches & 5,000 ATM's, to bailout JP Morgan Chase. The price? 1.9B$.

6. Hmmm, had not heard it put that way, before.

Cannot stand Chase and Jamie Dimon.

7. Yep. nt

[Greyhound]

11. Did you work for them?

Very few people know what a blatant theft this was and that "our" government forced it.

Just one of the many, many ways the $12T rip-off is passed off as a $700B "loan".

14. Wow -- never heard that story before ... $330+ Billion bought for $1.9 Billion....???? !!!!

It is a long, very complex story. You had to have your 401 gutted to really understand.

The real beginning is PROJECT WEST, a JPM conspiracy to gain a presence on the West Coast.

10. Digby posted a funny excerpt from this movie today

It shows portions of an interview with Frederic Mishkin of the Fed. He tries to explain why he wrote that Iceland's financial system was in great shape(it wasn't).

Watch it here

15. "financial liberation" evidently means liberated from rules/regs which would

protect citizens/consumers and keep the capitalistic predators from their crimes?

Paid for by Iceland Chamber of Commerce -- COC strikes again!!

When faced with the fact not disclosed, Mishkin seems surprised to be caught in the act!

Who ever bothers holding these people accountable?

[femrap]

12. Oh goody!!! I can't wait....

and it will be before the Elections.

13. Thank you -- will be looking for it -- also still looking for "South of the Border" by Oliver Stone!

16. This is what the idiot tea baggers should be screaming about

rather than their bigotry-fueled inanities.
