Eliot Spitzer: "The FED is a Ponzi Scheme. Run by Banks". Won't say where $13.9 TRIL went

[joepelham]

I love it. Investigate the fed!!!

[joepelham]

we need to investigate!!!

[joepelham]

we need to investigate!!!

[lilbromarky1]

Ratigan is fucking idiot. There are much better analysts out there than this guy. Let me gets something through everyone's thick fucking skulls right now. The dollar isnt yours. It doesnt belong to you as a person or as a tax payer or as an american citizen. Its a tool used by the fed to control you and get you to work while they sit back and fuck around. Ratigan saying that bailout money is taxpayer money is simple minded and implies he doesnt really get it.

[kevinusma]

There is nothing but crap in that bag, and we all paid for it. Our money went to Wall Street execs' Lamborghinis and homes in the Hamptons.

[mrgodvibes]

they knew what they were doing

[mattykRonPaul2012]

Down with the FED! The people involved should be imprisoned.

[dvzqz87]

isnt what's in the bag a bunch of cdo's and bad mortgages etc.? like isn't it not a mystery that what's in the bag is literally a pile of fucking garbage not worth shit, a pile of garbage that is obviously worth nothing because why else would the fed bail them out? what's the mystery i dont get it, also if the fed buys all the bad debt with tax payer money.. why is there future risk added?

[Mrjaguarpaw1]

FED is buying politicians, prezidents, everybody almost several decades..jewish dirty job

Al Gore: Lord Carbon Credit Former Vice President Al Gore’s crusade against carbon dioxide emissions could make him millions of dollars. With help from friends at Goldman Sachs, Gore has established a network of organizations to promote the “climate crisis”—and keep himself in the spotlight. Gore’s crusade already has had an enormous impact on corporate decision-making and government policies.

Did anybody notice the irony of a cockroach crawling on the camera lens @4:24?

[quicksite]

@unhillbilly I wish I had a prize to give you! .. You are the first to comment of out 8000 views here... I wonder if anyone commented on the uncut version with 43,000 views? .... Yeah, it was creepy and gross, like Jeff Goldblum in THE FLY.

[unhillbilly]

@quicksite I wonder if you'd get any more comments by dropping a black swan in the room. Final cut or such could do it, right? Now .. where to get vid of said creature :)

[quicksite]

@unhillbilly ... ahh if only youtube allowed video annotations, or post-production changes. alas, no. ... One thing i have yet to find out. Who *IS* the doofus I had to cut out most of his steal-hogging lines which, in the uncut version derailed the whole message, making it all about him and his pathetic attempts at comedy -- while completely missing the serious nature of what Ratigan was doing, purposely in a light way -- to engage low-watts like the very guy he gave the hat to.

[unhillbilly]

@quicksite BTW, I checked comments on the uncut version: the prize should go to @4Freedomrider as they saw it on the uncut version a year ago

[quicksite]

@unhillbilly That settles it. The Fed should be abolished and Freedomrider should be given full authority to crush it and install mutant aliens in its place. Clearly mutant aliens could not possibly do a more sinister job. And for all we know they could turn out to be cute and cuddly, something one never could say about Bernake or Litlle Tim. Though, that said, I think every boy and girl should have their own Bernake plush toy at Christmas time to re-enact It's a Wonderful Life.

America has swindled and taken advatage of, i now understand why Thomas Jefferson siad there needs to a revolution every 20 years.

[orangedac]

check it out, a 27.2 TRILLION (not billion, trillion) tax increase is being proposed now.

its insane...

[TheHomelandDefender]

I for one as a tea partying pro-america pro-war anti-terror conservative 100 percent support the fed. The federal reserve saved America from our greatest economic crises ever and the fed helps our troops fund our pro-freedom and pro-life wars that help keep America safe! Go Ben Bernanke Go! Keep on keeping on brother and don't let these liberals and fascists ron paul get to you man!

[xMaXiMuSx]

@TheHomelandDefender

haha that was a nice joke!

[espada9]

@TheHomelandDefender: So you don't believe in a constitutional Republic or representative government? Nice, and you call Ron Paul a fascist.

People like you are going to be lost after the dollar crashes.

No nation in all of history has survived a debt that excedded 90% of GDP.

[tirmen8er]

wow. i cant believe this is on msnbc. too bad all the libs wouldn't care about the fed if they found out that it's the only way we can fund socialism in this country.

[quicksite]

@tirmen8er - HEY, 6-year old -- No point in trying to keep bi-furcating America. It;s been done to death. literally. Me for example? I'm a lib and i couldn't stand Obama's guts from the day he had his first book tour. I could see he was a fraud then. I also see the fraud in Pelosi. But i won't use the easy term "both sides have their bad apples". No. DEMS are pure f*d. But Reps are just 10x worse. People like you who toss around socialism are selective and ignorant. You don't help matters.

[freewaffles666]

@tirmen8er Your only being a sheeple playing into the lib/conservative game. If you think thats how it really works LOL

[unincorporated1]

They called Spitzer "the sheriff of wall street" for a reason!

[LiveFreeOrDie86]

The FED needs to be busted up and shut down. The whole sinister purpose of the Federal Reserve is to PRIVATIZE profit and SOCIALIZE loss. The bill in 1913 was written in secret by bankers and for bankers. It was foisted upon the American public just before a congressional Christmas break when most Members had left. There were but three Senators left on the floor ...(others had been told there would be no business left that day), and nobody there to object.

[cancanbiker]

@rmf86 "Dont pay any fucking mind to this. Spitzer is sharp guy who has always done right in his professional capacity whether it was as an attorney or working for the SEC, or even as governor for that matter. When it comes to his work, the guy is all business, and he gets business done."

Thanks for displaying his corrupt line of work so nicely.

[quest8899]

When spitzer hosted on msnbc a while ago he should have had Ashley dupre as his first guest

[regusted]

I never really liked Spitzer from a policy standpoint, but I salute his speaking out on the Fed and banks' undue profiteering from the financial crisis.

[billthestinker]

So Eliot has a wayward cock, he is still the right guy to clean up the Fed & big banks.

[gzyv15a]

Is that Eliot or Idiot? Regardless, you're a piece of shit motherfucker who should be in jail for transporting whores across state lines. Your wife is an embarassment too.

[rmf86]

Dont pay any fucking mind to this. Spitzer is sharp guy who has always done right in his professional capacity whether it was as an attorney or working for the SEC, or even as governor for that matter. When it comes to his work, the guy is all business, and he gets business done.

[hero2d0s]

All the money whent to the Whores at the Emperors Club... The money now issued will be goin back to the whores at the Emperors club...

[shroomduke]

GO ELIOT! ! !

HOLD THE FUCKING CAMERA STILL ASS-CLOWN! what kinda drunken Crack-Whore is controling that god damned camera? (no offence!)

I Feel like i'm watching Nickelodeon! Are Americans realy this Childish & Retarded?

Eliot Spitzer rocks, I don't give a fuck if he's fucking 100 prostitutes, we know most of Congress is seeing hookers!

I'm sick of the double standards, it's typical Republican hypocracy!

[chaba49]

Look at the EARS on that motherfucker

[meushubris]

Volcker was nothing good either Spitzer...

[ifusuckilltellu]

I sucked Elliot's big jew dick!

[TheDraconiankiller]

Plain and simple if US controlled and owned it's own federal reserve , tell the central bankers to go to hell. We would not have a deficit that we have top pay back to a small group of people. This is just insane

[borat443]

Let me look into my crystal ball....I see...I see..I see smoldering fascists everywhere..........

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

we'd like to see Mr. Spitzer fully redeem himself with the public by gaining a public office where he can NAIL THE BANKSTERS; THE BASTARDS OF THE UNIVERSE,,SHORT OF THAT... HOW ABOUT IS OWN SHOW, 1950's style,,,DEAD SERIOUS, no clowns, no snot nose yuppies preening and being stupid, no drama queens, JUST DEAD SERIOUS ADULT INTERVIEWS ABOUT MAINSTREET'S INTERESTS. tim russert was the downfall of serious news with his cozy fuzzy handling of parasite politicians and bureaurats.

[ewupawly]

what is the air date of this?

[quicksite]

it's either same day or 1 day before I posted; so it would be July 24, 2009 or July 25, 2009

[danger0usknowledge]

The Fed has never been independent but it has been less

so in recent history. They respond politically to whatever admin is in power & are owned by the banks. Why is regulation never any good? Banking lobbyists.

Both parties are guilty but the Mocrats are the only

party who have any chance of standing up to the

banking lobby. Did anyone expect the "deficits don't

matter" party of Dick Cheney to be responsible?

They had the power to put 2 wars off budget.

They should never have that power again.

[drumknuckle]

looks like they are bashing the Fed to destroy that system and bring in the new one. Those of us that are catching on that money is the main problem, have been blasted with COINTELPRO to support the gold standard which is just a false choice that never lasted more that 50 years on its best runs. All we need to do with the Fed is change the benefactor.

[drumknuckle]

I never thought i would have said this but all the propaganda that comes out of Ron Paul, G. Edward Griffin, and Alex Jones is just false choices that have already failed in the past. Eustace Mullins and Bill Cooper were right, they control ALL sides. Sorry if i offend anyone

[curlyfry1106]

whats with the camera angles?

[quicksite]

camera angles: I don't have official answer, but I believe this robotic arm video shooting style started with the Don Imus radio show -- which then got simulcast on TV, as a new ad revenue stream for the same radio show. And they tried to jazz up the visuals with motion and swooping to give life to an otherwise static scene, a radio talk show. Then it was used ad nauseum on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show (still is). It's today's copycat style like handheld cameras w/ intentional "reality" shaking.

[supertrix101]

Every media outlet loves to "jazz" up thier camera angles to make thier presentation more interesting. They do the same thing on CNN, MTV, BBC and other channels......

[quicksite]

Right, and i was seeking to show the derivation of that particular style of remote controlled cameras.

[supertrix101]

Who gives a flying f**k what this douchef**k has to say anyway? After of course screwing the state of new york the same way elliot screwed his hookers, you think any of us want elliot's advice on how to deal with the economy? What a big dumbass elliot really is.....

[quicksite]

How did he screw the state of New York?

His personal life is atrocious and hypocritical -- but again, how did he screw New York?

[supertrix101]

Besides his private life (Spitzer's) if you were to ask the people from the state of new york, not only did the people from New york's big cities have to deal with finnancial problems partially as a result of Spitzer's policies, but also every major city in New york also had problems with the states health system (again partially due to spitzer). You can get more info about spitzer's governership by researching the internet.....

[danger0usknowledge]

I wonder how many major cities in the US did not have

Spitzer as governor? I wonder how many of them are in

deep trouble right now? I wonder who it was as attorney

general (ES) forced the CEO of AIG to resign for massive fraud in 2005? Paulson was appointed to Treasury in 2006.

Spitzer was ousted in 2008. Spitzer knew that this

country was going bankrupt b/c of AIG. Paulson was

not going to let him get away with it. Spitzer had to go

& cooperated in his own way you could say.

[bc9021010001]

Good thing Spitzer had his political career destroyed -- speaking or acting against the Federal Reserve gets you killed if you are President of the US. They tried killing Jackson and Tyler, they succeeded in killing Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy, all opponents of Rothschild-controlled central banks. Stock in the Federal Reserve private "banking" crime syndicate cannot be purchased by the general public. 57% of Fed stock is today owned by the über-Zionist Rothschilds, who also created Israel.

[austenbosten]

I'm cattle, yet your argument consists of nothing more than insults, stereotypes, and bigotry. Say what you want, but the fact you throw out the 'filthy jew' makes you an ignorant, prejudice asshole.

[austenbosten]

Ny made a big mistake letting Spitzer go. NYC cheered of course, cause of Wall Street, but Spitzer was right about WS being corrupt to the hilt.

[MrMendicant]

Not all of NYC cheered...

[KingDrudge]

I cheered when he resigned....NOT KNOWING JUST HOW CROOKISH WALL ST WAS. NY Post repoerted yesterday he may have a second go at the governor's mansion. I live in NJ, but I would support Spitzer this time around. He was on to the likes of Paulson and the other criminals in lower Manhattan.

[richco7773]

The Federal Reserve is a private bank. It pays NO TAXES EITHER INCOME OR PROPERTY TAXES. It creates money out of thin air. And all the Amerian (slaves) income taxes 100% go to pay the debt. It is the biggest fraud in America and they need to be prosicuted under the Rico Act.

[Melville10]

Guess Ratigan got too dizzy from hosting CNBC's Fast Money.

[KingDrudge]

Nah, he just got too smart. CNBC is about entertainment, not actual financial reporting.....how else is Cramer still employed?

[Melville10]

I agree. I went on their website today and according to them everything is a-ok with the economy and recovery is any time now---what garbage! I recall Jim Rogers calling CNBC entertainment and not to trust it. Those morons like Melissa Lee and Dennis Kneale probably couldn't tell a credit default swap from a mortgage backed security.

[KingDrudge]

hey hey hey, you leave Melissa Lee alone. I gotta soft spot in my heart for asian chicks. Dennis Kneale on other hand is more than fair game.

[QIQrrr]

While billions go to some banks, the government hands out TRILLIONS to finance their utopian promises - this is made possible by the very same printing presses that feeds the banks, with the blessings of the government. Remember that it's the politicians who initially grants the hand outs. This is a diversion. The blame game is on, indicating a crash is imminent. Kill the fed!

[spaceagedevice]

Fed got the shit kickers!

[ARAKARABLUE]

Eliot Spitzer

[quicksite]

thank you, my mistake. now fixed.

[ARAKARABLUE]

By the way....this is a Brilliant Video Post!

Thank you for posting this one!

[quicksite]

it's slightly shorter than the host of other postings of this video segment. I cut out extraneous chatter because "Fed" guy was distracting the chain of events by trying to be funny (and wasn't)... and just wanted to keep the flow of this illustration clear. I think it plays much better than all the clone versions on YouTube.
