Democracy Now! - Goldman Sachs v. Occupy Wall Street: A Greg Palast Investigation

[drumsnvoice]

the question is/was "Was the $5,000 a Goldman Sachs donation or actually American taxpayer bailout money Goldman set aside for community banks?" it seems pretty obvious to me ... it's both.

[mrmjmolina]

The Conservative Party and Goldman Sacs are carbon-copies of each other.

I agree. Withdraw your money from the big banks and put them into credit unions or small local banks. I had a BofA account which I closed last February. Today, I refinanced my BofA mortgage with another company. If you really want to hurt them, stop giving them your money. This is the worst thing that you can do.

Now...it's time to deal with that AIG life insurance policy....

When is the World; not just America, going to "Wake-UP!" and see just how Far and how Deep this Zionist/Jewish Mass Deception goes? Just take a look at: "Who Owns What" on: wake-upbeforetstoolate(dot)com and get ready for a great surprise because virtually every single major brand-named product, can ALL be traced back to this one very deceiving group, although, this mass deception (I feel) is more directed to the Millions of "Unsuspecting" Jewry, as you have been "LIED TO" Big-TIME! by your OWN!

Tempest in a teapot.

Goldman Sachs could give a rat's arse if a few dozen Marxists in lower Manhattan pull a few thousand dollars and deposit it in a Credit Union.

[theH0UNDSofD00M]

@maskedphrogg Goldman Sachs gives the hind quarters of a small rodent if a few dozen Marxists in lower Manhattan pull a few thousand dollars and deposit it in a Credit Union. The point is, that's not even what happened, first no one pull any money from Gs, second there's no Marxists in this footage. I guess it shows how unsettled you were after watching the video, looks like your cognitive powers went into overload after a couple of rhetoric jabs were thrown at GS reputation - OCCUPY THE WORLD!

[maskedphrogg]

@theH0UNDSofD00M

Miss your bottle hunh?

Mommie won't bring you your teddy bear anymore?

Oh look! Squirrels!

[zatoichi1969]

[maskedphrogg]

@zatoichi1969

Yep, they truly are as stupid as they are stinky.

Hippie to his stoned buds: Hey, let's show them effers we can't be tossed out. We'll sleep in the park even though it is cold and raining. They can't kick us around like that. We don't NEED no stinkin' tents

Hey! Look! Squirrels!

Go chase'em boy! Go!

[maskedphrogg]

[zatoichi1969]

I bet u do wear a mask to hide your prematue ejaculating, teabagger face.

[zatoichi1969]

[wiz9496]

@maskedphrogg Hahaha! You're alright, dude.

[zatoichi1969]

@wiz9496 still looking for friends in all of the wrong places i see. Too bad.

[wiz9496]

@zatoichi1969 He seems alright to me. Listen, Zat, if you would truly debate, and not resort to childish name calling, you might have a few friends of your own. I tried to debate you, and it turned into a six month ordeal, which in the end left me wanting to smash your face in. I'm just saying that maybe we can be more effective if we tone it down a bit, and honestly debate each other in a civilized manner. Whad'ya say?

[zatoichi1969]

@wiz9496 first off, he most definatly is no alright. second,I have enough friends already. third,u couldnt smash my face if i were in front of u. forth, its very conveniant for u to omit all of the trash talking that u have done in the past, to me and to others. That being said, sure i will debate u. ok, lets keep it clean. please begin and i will reply.

[wiz9496]

@zatoichi1969 What's your problem with the tea party?

[zatoichi1969]

@wiz9496 whats your problem with occupy wall street?

[wiz9496]

@zatoichi1969 I don't have a problem with the OWS people. I'm glad that they're out there, getting beat up and pepper sprayed by the cops. For me, it's fun to watch.

[kileer7]

@wiz9496 You don't mean that. And if you do, well, I don't know what to say.

[zatoichi1969]

@wiz9496 but do u respect what ows is doing or do u just like to see them beaten up and pepper sprayed. im not being a smartass here.

[wiz9496]

@zatoichi1969 I'm sorry that it took this long to answer you, but I had a stroke two Saturdays ago. Just got on the computer, and am going to treat people differently than before. I'm still a conservative, so don't think that I've changed my ideology. I'm just a kinder, gentler person than I was before. And you're right. I don't want to see the OWS people pepper sprayed.

[zatoichi1969]

@wiz9496 Hey Man. I know we have had harsh words for each other in the past, but Im sorry to hear that u had a stroke and I hope u fully recover.

[wiz9496]

@zatoichi1969 Thanks, man.

[Beatles0223]

Gotta love the arrogance of welfare receipients such as Goldman Sachs. They get public money (welfare) and then act as if the money was theirs to hold over other people. They're running scared.

[beastshawnee]

tell your bosses to move their money too.

[donyunger]

So if it's true that Goldman sends potential customers to the CU, they really shouldn't care about current customers transferring their deposits from Goldman to the CU, but of course that's a trend that Colman would feel compelled to nip in the bud.

[TheGedByrne]

"Goldman's circuits blew when the credit union's management appeared in Zuccotti Park to endorse Occupy Wall Street's call to "Move Your Money" from commercial banks to community credit unions. Heeding Peoples' and Occupy's call, 23 protesters marched to their local Citibank branches to close their accounts - and were promptly arrested. "

[trex9008]

Thank you Mr. Palast. Your showing the underbelly of high finance. Socialism for the rich is our national ism (National Socialism?) Hypocrites and backbiters will have a better day when God returns. They move figures (derivatives) to give certain values that benefits Wall St., while some poor worker loses their house on Main St.. How hard is it to see how they could benefit (put ops.)from and collude w/perps of terrorism(9/11)to get U.S. pop. on board FraudWar(Prof. A. Hall). Investigate9/11/01

[RayBeckerman]

Mr. Palast, you are a true hero. Please keep up your important work!

[cabpoet]

This is just plain sickening!

[MsDaniJT]

If this was their money it would be hard to complain, but this is OUR tax dollars they're using as a political hammer.

[endtheillusion]

Government bailouts of our banks is corporate socialism!

[Probitas1]

Even if all the 99% pulled their money out of big banks, they'd still be quite solvent. Remember that 1% of total money is still worth hundreds of percents more than the 99%. They don't care at all about people pulling their funds out. What they do care about is losing control.

[milofonbil]

@Probitas1 I'm moving my money out of Bank of America anyway to a credit union. Doing so brings more money into the credit union which creates jobs here in the US. Investing my money in one of the five large banks invests it in some risky investment overseas somewhere else.

[Elenkhos]

Why didn't you mention the 23 arrested for attempting to remove their money from their banks?

[milofonbil]

@Elenkhos Well ... Piss on them. I'm taking moving my puny little money from Bank of America over to the local Credit Union. It will create more jobs here than my money over at BOA being lent overseas.

[hockleypg]

Great reporting of another untold story, thanks Greg.

[antmayfield]

Greg straight killin it man well done

[Textynn]

Goldman Sach's puppet and Goldman Sach's people running the American Economy are gonna stop Goldman Sachs from continuing to tighten their grip. Won't happen. Obama is completely owned. Not only will he not stop them, he will help them make it an official practice with a title.

[peerlesslondin]

hey guys, dont worry!! we'll get em!!!

[JejuLee]

Just when I think I am as mad as a can get, I get a LOT madder. I truly have no idea where this is all going to end for me, but someone better do something soon to bring Goldman and the rest of the new mafioso to justice. ..

[noprofitmaximierung]

@edzep69 ... and invest that money in silver precious stones etc. so that banks can't stash their cash through a collapse!

[edzep69]

PEOPLE NEED TO PULL THEIR MONEY OUT OF THE BIG BANKS AND WE NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE ONCE AND FOR ALL. THEY HAVE LOOTED THIS COUNTRY FOR THE FINAL TIME AND WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO WIPE THIS CANCER OFF THE FACE OF THE MAP !!!

[Frequencitee]

@edzep69 I am at an impasse, because the crooks at Sallie Mae want me to establish a bank account, in order to establish a payment plan. FUCK!

I haven't dealt with a bank in over 3 years.
