  • We need to change the whole system!

    Its not 'Money out of politics' alone!

    it is The whole corrupted system and the people involved!

    All the present politicians have to go!

  • ratigan forgot to mention new orleans. occupy nola!

  • On May 6, 2010 Bernie Sanders sold out to the bankers by modifying his amendment to the extent that it would allow the Fed to keep many of its activities secret.

    Punish the corrupt politicians who create pollicies to bail out TooBIGTooFAIL corporations!!! Check out Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton passing policies that pay banks with gov banks FreddieMac & FannieMae. This mess was purposefully created by them.

  • @ShefBill

    meh, better than ron paul, he'd destroy the country with his wacky austrian mumbo jumbo

  • He's right. Its all the corrupt industries not just evil wall street bankers.

  • 7:20 is the only solution

  • Dump the Federal Reserve and Obama who reinstated Bernacke. Dump the Republicans who are puppets for the Multinational Rich.

  • @mitomke

    LOL!You would have to dump the entire Republican party.

  • Since you don't know what we want... Let me be perfectly clear! END THE FED, END THE FED, END THE FED! That clear enough? Fractional Reserve Banking has ROBBED THE WORLD BLIND!! It has completely perverted and distorted the free market and has been doing so for a very long time. End the wars & bring the troops home, get the massive amounts of corporate money out of politics, Repeal the Patriot Act, then fire yourselves.. Main Stream Media has failed to bring the people the truth for long enough!

  • What motivation do thehe US Marine Corps and the rest of the US military have to protect the Occupy Wall Street protesters. The US military and many elected leaders continue to ignore military veterans.

    Military veterans still being ignored are: Ronald Lawrence Kovic "Born on the Fourth of July", Smedley Darlington Butler the author of the 1935 book "War is a Racket", and President (Five-Star General) Dwight David Eisenhower's January 1961 speech on the Military-Industrial Complex.

  • I hope get money out of politics is the one issue they concentrate on...

  • Luv that there was a woman called "Crystal Ball" on the panel. This guy really IS Howard Beal from "Network"

  • @1991RubenV LOL

  • The goal is to have a means to buy the food pay the house payments and have enough money to live on when we get old, then hopefully have enough insurance to help us when we are sick and need medical assistance!

  • The USA must go down.

  • RON PAUL 202!!!

  • burn the fed down literally burn it down all of them thats a good start

  • Wall Street and the government go hand in hand.

  • There is a candidate that has not been allowed to paticipate in the republican debates that has pledged not to tak PAC, Super PAC money nor contributions over $100. He needs backing and volunteers. His Name is Bernie Sanders and his web site is Barry Roemer.com

  • Wichita KS TOO! Today 10/2 in Solidarity- a rally occupy Wichita downtown at bank of amerika

  • 'THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING BANKRUPT TO WHO? DEBT = SLAVERY'

    Good sign :)

  • @thorkyll the whole NWO Organisation: Bilderbergers, Illuminati , etc

  • Occupy every financial district in America.

  • China knows tariffs protect Chinese labor. Washington knows tariffs protect US labor. The Chinese government is not bought out. The US government is. Chinese tariffs on US products 25% US Tariffs on Chinese products 2.5%. The robbing of the America worker.

  • aw... the money changers are trying to pass the buck...

  • “fas-cism (fâsh’iz’em) n. A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism. [Ital. fascio, group.] -fas’cist n. -fas-cis’tic (fa-shis’tik) adj.” — American Heritage Dictionary, 1983

    Wall Street Banksters own America!

    People of the world support the protestors!

  • the only 'lobbyists' that should exist are called CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS... the rest need to be ELIMINATED.

  • Wall street will do whatever they can get away with... the stupid Government needs to get the corruption out and reform and regulate and stop the corrupt collusion with big business via lobbying.

  • the money can't be removed. there is no circumstance where there is a coalescence of power as great as there is in the federal government and corrupting money does not find it. the problem is the coalescence of power in the federal government. money can't corrupt power that isn't there. all we have to do enforce the constitution.

    the bigger government gets the bigger a problem this will be. it's the road to fascism.

  • And people say MSNBC is totally a gov. shill institution. Ratigan is possibly one of the greatest friends the US republic has

  • Cancel the elections. Everyone stays where they are until we've asked a few questions. Chain these zionistas to their chairs until we are done with them. We will need volunteers who have experience inserting catheters because I'm tired of cleaning up these clowns' messes.

  • nothing will happen unless millions come out.. a few 100 people aren't gonna do a damn thing..the elite don't give a damn about the people...they might do some dirty trick by hiring people to go to the protest and start violent encounters with the cops so there will be an excuse to break up the protest...u have to think like one of these criminals they have that runs all their dirty tricks..they didn't get to the point of owning the government and starting wars being unprepared

  • It's not just Wall Street and the Military Industrial Complex, it's also the Federal Reserve!

  • Only on Ratigan's show, the only truthful journalist on MSM.

  • we should do this all over the world.

  • It's a damn good start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Be suspicious of any politician who says "I stand with the 99%"

    The establishment always tries to co-opt large movements to prevent serious disruption to "business-as-usual" (ripping us off). The very structure of the political system is broken; Representatives are distant from the will of the people.

    Technology allows unprecedented possibilities in self-governance.

    The people can draft legislation, discuss, debate, and vote - directly, and without middlemen politicians. 1 person, 1 vote.

  • this is a great video.And Dylan's argument about compassion is absolutely spot on.The partisan system is an old relic that now serves more to divide us than to get things done in a compassionate way.All of us are responsible for this world.

  • Kucinich/Sanders 2012! Now there's a ticket worthy of a vote!

  • Who are we broke too, where to do we owe all this money, who made our money worthless? Find the true owners of this financial wizardry and take them out quickly and fix it. In the closing days of any war, the losing side will always burn any documentation, so it will just go on in another form, change the color of your clothes and make a fresh start to do it all again in a different way under a new banner with fresh believers.

  • MSNBC the preachers to the crazies, the soros puppets, the finest trash media there is.

  • If you still have your money invested in the stock market...plain and simple...you are fucked.

  • We need a national discussion on monetary reform. Money should serve the people/public interest. Ending the fractional reserve banking system and pulling the US economy out of the private bank called the Federal Reseve is the first step.

  • We are the 99%

  • @leifihrck Then beware libertard, Paultard, teabagging scum!

  • There is only one way to put a stop the Federal Reserve. Everyone must pull their money from the whore banking system that it is.

  • What does Wall Street have to do with the Fed? nothing.

  • Krystal Ball. She is a porn star right?

    

  • This is all nonsense.

  • " Money " is just an illusion ,, albeit a very persistent one ..

    Economy comes from community ,, no matter How you look at it ..

  • ONLY Threats to this World..

    USA & Israel & Pentagon & EU

    NATO, CIA, Mossad, Blackwater, BIS & School of Americas.

    World Bank (WB, IMF & WTO created to make sure developed countries can always keep 3rd world countries poor & enslaved & can always steal everything they want from 3rd world countries, keep them oppressed & fully controlled & starving/dying in debt)

    IMF (International Monetary Fund)

    WTO (World Trade Organization)

    War Industry, Oil Industry, Banks, Financial Casinos & Federal Reserve

  • I'd be there with you guys if i fucking could! Keep going protesters, stay peaceful and the people will be on your side. YOU KNOW how media can spin shit if you slip!! goodluck guys!! - a guy from Canada

  • They gonna harness it. . .

  • NESARA!!!!

  • Occupy Fox News

  • Funny how campaign finance reform is rarely discussed by either liberals or conservatives.

  • No matter what law they make, you aren't going to stop the money going into the Swisse bank accounts.

  • Comment removed

  • @dodododa unless we regulate money going into offshore tax havens. But that kind of regulation would require politicians who arent bought (political finance reform)

  • "It's Not Just Wall Street! It's The Military Industrial Complex" is that why they keep firing the generals who can't do what they ask.

  • That Hayek story is slightly squed.

    Hayek lived in Chicago and already paid into SS for 40 years. He moved back to Austria. Charles Koch wanted him to come back and work for CATO but Austria had free medical care. thats when Charles sent him the check.

    But if someone pays into something I think they are entitled to what they put in. No matter how poorley sturctured the program is.

  • sign the petition - get money out dot com!

  • There are 46 registered lobbyists working for Obama right now, even though he said not one lobbyist would be in his Whitehouse staff.

  • Americans need to fuck the government, convene a Continental Congress, and amend the Constitution and get the Wall St. and Corporate money OUT OF POLITICS. The Federal Gov is not needed to do this...you don't need their permission...remember the Fed Gov derives it's power from the states, but ultimately the people of the states. Problem solved.

  • The FED feeds the militarykilldustrial complex....

  • Yes people should be MAD AS HELL...thank you Aaron Russo and R.I.P brother of truth.

  • get rid of people like John boner the speaker of the house. People like him are dickheads and they do more for not simply their own constituents but for a group of key donors, plus the agenda of the US Chamber, just like the head of the Chamber said the new T-party people better do what they are told and Mr. Boner was right there like a parrot. End the US Chamber of Commerce

  • Why are these jackballs repeatedly stressing a lack of focus in the protests, acting like there's no purpose whatsoever? The reason for these protests, you fucking idiots, is to emphasize that the Federal Govt should stop bailing out Wall Street & predatory banks with our tax money and use that money on public services like education and job creation!

  • Ratigan really irritates me, because half the time I can't stand him, and then every once in awhile I find out he's on some real shit, that I agree with like getting money out of politics.

  • So much indecision... "It's Wall Street", "It's Washington D.C", "It's the Federal Reserve Banking System", etc. And so we remain ignorant; where is the head of the chicken? Do your own research; think for your selves... Who controls Washington? Who controls Wall Street? Who controls the Federal Reserve? Who controls the Mainstream Media? Who(s)? It is a relatively small group of individuals who commands these interests which manipulate our nation entirely!

  • @dstory69 If everyone pulled their money from the banks, then where would the Federal Reserve be and the military industrial complex? Neat thought eh?

  • @MrExxodus Are we actually to believe the "banks" need the monies of the people? Their pedestal exists in public perception, not money - they can always create more at your expense... Simple refusing to participate in their system will not quell their influence over the population, politics, industry or any other established system - the individuals who own the banks (majority interest holders) own everything! The root of this weed must unearthed in order to remove its hold on all of society.

  • Americans are finally -- finally waking up.

  • Paul/Sanders 2012

  • and they are both the overlords of Obama, change we can believe in my ass, only a fool believes that at this point

  • These people just don't get it. The US is NOT a democracy; and this is how poorly everyone, even politicians, are educated in our constitution. America is a Republic! Check it out for yourselves...don't believe me. In a democracy, it's We The Sheepel...not WE The People.

  • Thanks for the post. I don't own a TV. :D

  • The people should be protesting the government, not Wall street! If it were not for corrupt government America would not be in the scenario they're in now. End the Fed!

  • @kryptonickraze to put the connection together for you the reason people are protesting wall street is that they control your government, so they thought they would go directly to the source!

  • @487shawn I'm aware of the connection between government and Wall street. But Wall street would not have the power they have now if the government had done their job. They are protesting Wall street for accepting all the tax cuts and subsidies and bail-outs that the government is handing to them on a silver platter!

  • @kryptonickraze understood! but to put pressure directly on the culprits who have commited actual crimes of fraud and robbery is the most obvious and of course!! get the fucking lobbying out of government we agreed just saying people on wall st have to go to jail for thier crimes!

  • @487shawn I understand the outrage people have for Wall Street and I certainly dont think their innocent, but i dont think this protest is going to the root of the problem, i think its going to the result of the problem. Corporate power is the result of government corruption, and really it is impossible to address corporate power without going to the source of what makes them powerful.

  • @kryptonickraze i understand what your saying completely, however there is a bank in every community there are financial insitutions around the world that are starting to be protested there is only one white house!

  • @487shawn Good point, this is definitely a good start as far as getting a message across to those in power, hopefully it continues and develops.

  • @kryptonickraze If it were not for Wall Street buying our government we wouldn't have a corrupt government.

  • @tr28901 If you had a government unwilling to accept bribes from banskters Wall Street wouldnt be able to buy the government. Also if the government hadn't been making the most wealthy and powerful MORE wealthy and powerful, they may not have had the power to corrupt government in the first place.

  • @kryptonickraze Yes, we already know that the Paultards aren't with the plan.

  • @kryptonickraze that's like going after the puppet not the puppeteer, your kind are so stupid you make it evident that survival of the fittest stopped with humans

  • @jw12yrsctch That's a solid insult to back your claim up with, great argument! And no, you're wrong. Sure banksters bribe politicians and make their way through the swinging door of the government, but ultimately it is corrupt government that allows corporate power to grow. Wall Street is powerless the instant government stops feeding them money, it's really that simple.

  • @kryptonickraze I don't need to back up anything, that's what facts are for, I'm not responsible for teaching you, your parents already failed at that, libertarians are afraid, very afraid, they see they really are the minority fighting for the 1%, while the 99% will rise and put them in their place

  • @jw12yrsctch Well, I guess you're right that you don't need to back anything up, it just makes you appear laughably stupid.. you've never taken logic have you? I recommend it, then you may learn to actually think and come up with claims backed by fact.

  • @kryptonickraze I have logic, I don't need to take a class about it, and the facts back me up, it's YOUR jobs to look it up

  • @kryptonickraze i think they are protesting the government by proxy...

  • @djamorpheus Perhaps in a way, although I think there would be more success protesting the government itself. See, it's like they're protesting and asking the government to do justice to the corporations, when it was the government that partook in the unjust doing! So it is irrelevant whether the government meet the demands of the people protesting for the government is still corrupt.

  • @kryptonickraze i saw protest both, we're merging into a corporate-fascist dictatorship...so you attack either the other one fills it.....hint , hint,. definitely end the fed.

  • @kryptonickraze I say do both.

  • @Stingerbillion I would fully support that

  • @kryptonickraze wall street owns the government. there is nothing federal about the Fed, its privately owned.

  • @kryptonickraze the corruption starts in Wall Street.. it's the people outside of government that are bought and pushed into government to serve the interest of the elite ..they sold out due to no morals and a ego trip that won't stop

  • The only way to get the money out of politics is to end the Federal Reserve central banking fiat money system.

  • @XulChris OR regulate how their financed?

  • @XulChris Actually restore the Glass-Steagall Act and make the federal reserve a true public entity and not a front organization for established banking interests.

  • @threefiveZ Glass-Steagall is only necessary because of the FDIC insurance you stupid idiot moron. The Fed has been a front organization for establishment banks since its inception. Try growing a brain. Herp a derp.

  • @XulChris Thank you, good sir, for explaining it to me in a lucid way. There was nothing condescending or hostile about your tone. LOL!

  • @threefiveZ There is so much stupid on the internet that there is no point in being tactful.

  • @XulChris Here is some advice: unless your goal is to piss people off, don't be a dickhead. Remember, it is not only who you are speaking to, it is also the audience that observes your interaction. Trust me, I know this all to well. Don't destroy your credibility unless your point was always to anger people, that is, to "troll" them.

  • @XulChris Absolutely correct

  • @XulChris

    and get rid of Zionism out of politics. Ben Bernanke is a zionist.

  • @dragnet53

    Hey Fed, how bout you don't dilute our efforts with your racist plants trying to make us look like a bunch of loons ;) Thanks

  • @SleepDirtyJazzySet

    LOL I hope that was sarcasm son. Zionism is a real threat. Have you heard Israel is the butch in the relationship while USA is the bitch? They own 81 senators of our congress. AIPAC bought them paid vacations to Israel.

  • @dragnet53

    Even if your assertion is true, does flying someone to Israel automatically put someone in AIPAC's back pocket? Surely US Senators can think for themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • On Donner on Blitzen!

  • the news is to report not to tell other people what you think thay should do.as a reporter thats your job anything more and that would make you a teacher/leader not a reporter and freedom of the press should be limted to you

  • It will completely amaze me if this amounts to the start of the all so needed revolution. Peace and freedom seem to be popular at this point. I hope it stands strong and we move to the right side of history.Peace.

  • @chewycandy666 I hope you are right but history shows you are completely wrong. =(

    For anything to change blood will be shed and lives will be lost. Wall Street will not give up it's hold on America because of a few simple protests.

    I know what i said id grim but reality is grim.

  • @tr28901 You are absolutely right. There will be blood shed and there needs to be. Freedom comes at a price and we must pay it. There has been loss of freedom and liberty for many years.We the people have let this country down by not fighting every infringement on those rights.We will allow rights to disappear at the flick of a pen, if they don't change our status quo lifestyle. We should never take freedom for granted, and we have. Now is the time.Peace.

  • @chewycandy666 Well said my friend. =)

  • obama raises a billion dollars guess from where wallstreet bankers!the greed from wallstreet will not see prison if obama wins!wkae up america!

  • Comment removed

  • @tr28901 why was your comment removed!

  • @toppgunn2232 typo, i deleted it and re posted it.

  • @toppgunn2232 good point, but i'll give you another... do you think those wall street bankers will ever see any justice from Repub candidates? besides maybe Ron Paul? whats your suggestion... should we promote someone to challenge Obama?? don't take what I say as threatening or aggressive because I don't have the answers either

  • @redcrosse knight music no they wont see prison if they get a Romney or a were bank of America we'll help you out perry.Ron Paul is the only chance we have of returning this country to the constitution!end the bailouts of the euro and banks end the wars and bring our family members home that is a start and that is why Ron Paul has my vote in the primary on the 31st of Jan!

  • @toppgunn2232 word

    I'm with you

  • @redcrosseknightmusic Ron Paul wants to give Wall Street even more deregulation & less accountability then they already have. They stole $trillions from us with some regulations still intact, do you really think they will all of the sudden start caring about the people if we deregulate them more ? lol

    I wish we would primary Obama in the upcoming election but there are 2 problems. 1. Dem's don't want to split the vote and 2. there is maybe 4 Dem politicians that are not owned by wall street.

  • @tr28901 Ron Paul would have let the banks go bankrupt as they should have, rather then bail them out with tax payer money.Every regulation has a loophole and banks and large corporations like GE.Employ thousands of lawyers and lobbyist to get around those regulations.

  • @surferray69 You are right, he would have. He would also allow banks to commit even more serious crimes. If you want to know what a free market is, what Ron Paul's wet dream is... Look back to business in America in the early - late 1800's. That's Ron Paul's Vision and American citizens nightmare.

    This is why Ron Paul is not taken seriously by any one over the age of 30.

  • @tr28901 Well I'm over 30.There's no perfect solution to every problem.But Ron Paul has better ideas and integrity then most.Markets and economies rise and fall thats the nature of business.The government needs to get out of the way and allow these flucuations to happen naturally.If you don't like a certain bank or business because of their unethical practices then don't do business with them..its that simple.

  • stay peaceful or face martial law!

  • REVOLUTION END INCOMPETENT SOCIOPATHIC RULE BY BANKERS SEND CRIMINALS TO JAIL SEIZE ASSETS OF CRIMINALS TAX THE RICH STATE BANKS STATE BANKS STATE BANKS STATE BANKS STATE BANKS STATE BANKS SINGLE PAYER END EMPIRE
  • This is very uuge.

  • How do you get so many Idiots in one place.

  • Yeh……I have said this for years, the day that The corps got personage was the day America lost its soul. 

  • Just lost all my respect for hyake

  • go go go

  • Fucking IDIOTS! The politicians and govt are the people in charge of it all! Everyone is trying to protect the govt!

  • @HorrorAngel666 Indeed.

  • @HorrorAngel666 GOOD POINT

  • I love Bernie...he looks like he's about to bite someone's ear off.

    I have never heard another politicial in the US make any more sense or talk any more reality than Bernie.

  • 3:38 and there is the first sign of a possible hijacking in the works. Just like what happened with Fox and the Tea Party.

  • I'm the leader..

    Sorry for all the hippys, freaks and pot heads who showed up at the demonstrations but stay tuned for more protests that will eventually become violent with little old lady's and small children trying to kill you

  • Bernie Sanders should challenge Barry O in the primaries.

  • @jezmundberserker I thought so too but he said he wouldnt. He did, however, say he should be primaried.

  • lol! Krystal Ball!!! Too funny!

  • Why cant guys like Dylan be president? Damn the establishment sucks

  • The fact is the are a bunch of fascists who hate freedom and laugh when they see some of these protesters begging the government for financial reforms. They're the one who will write the reforms...

  • I love how they love to portray Wall St as a bunch of free-market loving libertarians and Wall St. controls politics. But, somehow Ron Paul is not getting any support from anyone notable on Wall St. Can someone explain this to me?

  • Yes, The Kochs are douche-bags and Hayek, was at best, a wishy-washy libertarian, but that still doesn't void any single idea put forth by the Cato institute. Ratigan just lost points for pulling that move at the end there.

  • Comment removed

  • very serious topic.......but crystal ball???? lol

  • I agree that we should get money out of politics, although it will never happen

    But fuck the MSM trying to co-opt this movement like Fox did with the tea party

  • @cowpacino the money is not the problem, it is the symptom of a rotten system. the root cause is the centralistation of power which makes paying politicians cost effective. decentralize the power to the states. that is the true solution

  • @independence4wales It's still centralized power in those states. That doesn't solve anything. LOL

  • @bulldogger sure it does, you can move to another state. LOL

  • ironic.a little bit a empathy?...the rich like to inbreed to avoid the empathy gene.

  • @iWASbeingModest: I thought the had their genes modified to that end. The inbreeding technique could work too. 

  • @jezmundberserker yes they use both.so much "new money" rich they had to start the genetic modifications,the real "in crowd" amongst the super wealthy are the extremely inbred ones.obviously at some point in history,the dominant pyschopaths of society used emotion against the ppl,in order to enslave them...and started inbreeding causing what we know now as class.[middle,lower etc]
