  • Like if raywilliamjohnson's vid took you here.

  • Bush/Cheney are just puppets of the real devils behind the curtains aka Ben Bernanke, Alan Greespan (CEO's of the FED), Rockefeller, Rothschild, Queen Elizabeth, etc.

  • @manwdashade the rest of them yes but queen elizabeth? are you fucking stupid? that senile old lady runs nothing

  • $850 billion is NOTHING !

    You havent even started yet - the old slave traders and pirates, who enslaved the world for centuries, are ina corner. Their ONLY option is to rob the western world and try to enslave everyone - there is no other way they can keep their superiority.

    ARMAGEDDON ! And right now, they are working out how to make it look just like armageddon, to keep the world in fear.

  • Yes, we've been robbed. But we are still in the middle of the biggest heist in history. Obama just reappointed Bernanke to the Federal Reserve. Look up on Youtube the "Creature form Jeckyl Island" if you are not sure what this means.

  • This week, in order to take the media's attention off their failed healthcare takeover (not to mention Friday's increase of 2 Trillion to the deficit by the White House.), Obama has launched a new attack on the American people: Now this administration is not only releasing terrorists and sending them back home, but they are placing our CIA operatives that have kept us safe for the past 8 years under threat of prosecution.

    (cont'd)

  • wow this is crazy we are going to leave rags thrown away by poor kids in affrica to give to are children

  • 2 trillion pluss! oh i wonder how we are going to get that money? its coming out of ur pocket!!!!

  • Rember the 70's well welcome back jimmy carter policies no jobs high inflation higher taxes and a stagnant country . Hope we dont have an oil embargo. Hey Barry Soetoro aka Barrack Hussein Obama wheres your birth certificate?

  • Hey Shotgun Dick aka war criminal cheeney where's the $850 billion you and Paulson stole from us?

  • Great video .. bad hair toupee

  • Awesome prediction of what happened with the money the Federal government has stolen from our grandchildren. The Liberals are intentionally ruining our country, are lying about that, and blame Conservatives when they get caught.

    Obamas followers are idiots, but videos like this remind us that some of us have brains and common sense. Hopefully, in 2010 the Libs will loose badly and we can reclaim our Republic from these Big Government Fascist Marxist Commie traitorous America haters.

  • You people do know this was over 6 months ago, right?

  • Didn't paulson threaten congress with Martial Law ? He should be arrested extortion, treason, fraud.

  • ppl might think that bailout will solve everything..but nothing will be solved until the whole world will regain trust of wall street and other institutions...we've just been robbed of our money for wall street cheating of certification and greed.

  • Anyone done the math that's over $20,000 per American why not just give us the cash to stimulate the economy???

  • Won't work most people will save it or use it to pay bills nothing will bought thats what i think

  • Q. Who's dumber than Jimmy Carter and tells more lies than Richard Nixon?

    A. Obama (if that's his real name).

    Why isn't he in jail yet?

  • well its February how's that Obama thing workin' out for you???

  • How ignorant r u? Obama has been in office for a few months versus the few years Bush had to fuck up our economy and international standing. Please you people that put down Obama have no legitimate words of insults. The people have voted...and Obama won! So SUCK it!

  • ...Wowl there's an insightful comment: ".Obama won: Deal with it". I have one response:

    BIRTH CERTIFICATE.(?)

    This is a constitutional republic not a democracy! only ratification by the states can change that

    Hope you and your kids Enjoy your "mandatory volunteer "service( I hear it might entail a few jumping jacks).May your chains rest lightly upon your shoulders;

    Read Orwells"1984"or Sinclar Lewis " It can't happen here"...

  • I didn't say "deal w/it" i said "suck it".

  • yay, you want to prove to yourself your not racist, what a shitty stupid fucking inside battle drawn out on the country.

  • You gave up your economy your constitutional rights and your childrens future on a popularity vote that Obama will CHANGE!!!! everything hahahahaha And when they pass a 2nd stimulus bailout bill Youll be starving in the streets because Obama that userper will sway you sheeple into it!

  • investors trying to make a killin of this...thats what your graphs show...as greedy as the bankers.....

  • Actually if you cared about this bail out why aren't you worried about where our government has misplaced $2 Trillion yes trillion dollars of tax payers money maybe you should be more worrid about that we have been blocked by Wall street, and herded like cattle

  • Business-running-government has really gotten out of hand. I really wonder what my retirement is going to be like. Or if there will be one. It is a good thing I like to work anyway,,,,

  • Hell I worry  how much longer my Mil. retirement will last at the rate this government is going. Folks will have to work till they are age 82 or so the way its going.

  • I Agree. And people will use the media to scare and decieve, and that includes youtube.

  • why we need to pay for them mistakes.

  • sounds like a scumbag trying to shift the blame to china

  • hey they took all the  GOLD outa the twin towers why should stop now???

    and your suprized???

  • i am an American and love my country, but hate the administration that took America to her knees, that being bush/cheney.

  • @thebestman200699 Clinton had much to do with the legislation well before Bush :)

  • If ANYONE has any doubt that the "trickle down affect" DOES NOT work, educate yourself on how the first $400 Billion of the $700 billion has "trickled down". Now Paulson is asking Congress to release the $350 Billion. I hope to God they wait for the next Congress to get in. And if your writing a history book, don't forget that this bailout was a Bush/Paulson Republican bill. They didn't even want it to go through Congress. I am counting the seconds!

  • The people in the USA are retards! BUY AMERICAN!

  • Idiots in the USA continue to buy products from China! Stop being so fucking lazy and look at the label! Stop eating and look at labels you idiots!

  • CEO bastards need to be held accountable and crucified if needed! Dirty fucking bastards!

  • BAILOUT:  Billionaires of America Illegitimately Looting Our Unguarded Treasury

  • Gold Standard...

  • I think Ron Paul was the only one with a firm grasp on the economic issues. And yet, practically no one voted for him. Fuck you America.

  • I've got a idea the ones who have the least, we'll give to the ones who have the most. And we'll call it a capitalist society. You know a democracy.

  • i also know the solution!!!!

  • Honestly if these Jackasses who only learn to talk like they were Geniuses in some Coleeeege not College so they could get into Politics.

    They have no solution to this horiible economic collapse..It would mean changing the whole

    KNOWN Monetary world system--I know the solution.

  • You get economic collapses when your money is worthless and when you have government over regulation.

  • we've been trying to tell americans that something was wrong since 2005 but they won't listen so fuck them...I can't wait until America goes under...I gladly will suffer myself just so I can see my neighbors suffer as well...why?...because I fucking hate most americans...they are assholes and fools...

  • I agree!

  • Henry Paulson shall SUCK SATAN'S COCK in hell forever, along with the other Cronies that will lick LUCIFER'S PUSSY

  • angels are believed not to have genitals... but i bet u are symbolic :D

  • There is not going to be a war. If we do nothing, nothing will happen. You have to be in war to have war. The pussification of America has taken over.

  • Panic is long over now we are dwindling into

    Anarchy soon...

  • I am just wondering what shit will start The Civil War????Atomic Bomb in Washington or Wall Street or Wilmington Del or Sioux City SD???

    MaybeSome Dude who stands up for his rights not giving up his home being foreclosed on??

  • you're right...they are preparing us...agitating us everyday, using Glenn Beck, CNN, etc...even these youtube videos so that once they do something, we'll be so pissed, we'll just go to war with anyone...it's like poking a hornets nest, you poke it gently, then a little more, still nothing happens, then you decide to take a baseball bat and hit really hard and then they go nuts on anyone around the nest...same deal

  • let the downfall of America happen, fuck the bailouts, fuck anyones pension plans, 401k, mutual funds, cd,s and so on, i hope they all go away, then total chaos can begin, george has started an all out war, thats coming, right here to America, amoungst ourselves, AMERICANS, better get ready hell is coming, and many Americans are going to die.

  • It is over a trillion dollars and growing now

  • Government is putting this much money in to these companies I think the government should take full or part ownership of these companies. They use to make money and they will again and any profit should be government money with a percent payed back to each tax payer for their investment. How strong would a government owned automobile company with the combined resources of the big three in a decade? Somethings will have to change or things like this will happen again in the near future.

  • Hahaha!!!. Blame it on Chinese and Japanese. Your money is in the pocket of your masters. The Khazar Zionists who are also responsible for 911.

  • hey fat man, why dont you and your criminals use some of the cash you made on 911 put options to bail out your homosexual jew land?

  • go fuck yourself!

  • Can you tell me why the bail out money was given to the Chinese ?

    Is it the Chinese or the banker CEO ? Can you elaborate please ?

  • UMM because China OWNES the States!!

  • the monetary system is sickening.

  • inflation deflation is in itself simply a communist idea

    were its very easy to transfer wealth from many to a few with no actual work involved just manipulation of currency

    to put simply

    while you hold the bills i print money when i hold the bills i deflate money when that money is deflated i have money and you have money but i also have some of your property

    credit is a effective way to deflate money and inflate without actually printing it

    look up what jefferson said about inflation

  • the real problem is that we have been asleep

    and that this transfer of wealth can no longer be hidden which is in effect not communist but marxist take positions of power by any means neccisary lie steal blackmail threaten once in position bring your fellows into power those in positions of power have the power in this case its the elitist rich in the fed useing these tactics to simply enslave us forever

    inflation and deflation is the drive to find the perfect master slave enforcer ratio

  • It's ridiculus that this is how democracy works:

    Such a farce, that only benefits the ruling elite that already have all the wealth. The corporate propaganda just tells people what to think.

  • you're kinda retarded huh? well, don't you worry, barack will take good care of you

  • Yep, and ten percent ( at least ) of this bailout is going straight to bonuses for the corrupt, inept bastards that created this mess. They are pigs double and triple dipping at the public trough. This is a classic case of PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION. Maybe the "conspiracy theorists" aren't crazy after all. They were the ones actually EXPECTING this.

  • AIG PARTY ON! Spend Our Tax Dollars! PARTY PARTY PARTY!

    CEO of AIG "We were embarrass but we are working on a future financial products" - What the heck?

    Financial product isn't an invention nor it a inventory for grocery store. The financial products is nothing but an idea that already been thought of, it made up retirement and capitalism. It is so easy that a person without college degree can figure it out.

    Sorry but I lost trust in bank industries

  • I say we all stop paying taxes. They can't get us all.

  • Hit 'em where they live. Whoever voted for this bailout, vote them out. I am. I don't care what party they're in. There are (s)hit lists online of who voted FOR the bailout so they can be voted out. I have my list. 3 Republicans and 1 Democrat. I'm voting for each of their opponents and I don't care who they are. ALOT of political careers need to end over this. They are public servants who IGNORED the public. So what the hell good are they? Fire them. They're no longer of any use.

  • Watch this video called:

    The federal reserve caused the 700 billion dollar bailout and economic crash

    Help your Country - Please SPREAD THIS VIDEO AROUND

    GET A LIST OF THOSE WHO VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT AND VOTE THEM OUT!

  • How long will we put up with being slaves? I have run away from the plantation and now a jury of other 12 slaves will pass judgment on me. In their minds, if they have to be slaves then everyone has to be a slave. Welcome to America.

  • Call me cynical but does it matter who is elected president, seriously?

    Who or WHAT THE HELL is behind the curtain?

  • Well said. McCain and Obama are two sides of the same coin. It's a childish good cop/bad cop polarization scheme. The trend is always more and more centralized power in fewer and fewer hands further and further away from Main Street America. Any and all excuses from all over our the political "spectrum" are used to justify. The welfare/warfare paradigm that the ball-playing Republocrats use to drum up support for their causes invariably leads to more and more centralized power.

  • THEY GOT IT and got it good!

    Used Congressional Martial Law to pass it!

  • Great video. Everybody should read, or at least familiarize themselves with the general ideas, of Naomi Klein's SHOCK DOCTRINE.

  • wow! hi :) ur REALLY cute. hit me up! i have a webcam and get naked on it all the time! LOL =) 8

  • WEll, it turn out that it was Hanky's old buddies and not the Chinese, the bankers of wall street that the first 250 billion, or was that 350 billion went. They didn't even bother to tell the American public how the 9 are selected as 'strong banks'. I am sure they are stronger now with the billions.

    It must be the preparations for the executives year end bonus for those selected 9 banks. I wonder how many new Mercedes and new yachts are being ordered for January 2009 delivery just about now?

  • Did you see the Debate last night. Obama said, ". . .sending $700 billion to China" when he was talking about the war in Iraq. I think he meant $700 billion for the war, but he muffed up and just told the truth. HA!

  • "No CEO Left Behind" / Welfare for the Rich

    The most disturbing part is that all of our representatives IGNORED their constituents. That truly is alarming. POLITICAL CAREERS must end over this. If you only vote once in your whole entire life, vote for your state Congressman/Senator's OPPONENT in their next election. They are public servants and they served everything but the public. Fire them. They are not one of us.

    "I just knew Bush had one more gigantic screw up in him." -Bill Maher

  • Didn't the military gain a trillion dollars during the bail-out diversion?

  • If I remember correctly, yes. $400b more than last year. Mainstream media slipped that one under the radar so it would seem.

  • Hey,

    If you're going to reference a movie try "THEY LIVE"?

  • I think that movie is "TO REAL" for a lot of people, and most probably wont understand the true implications.... but wow is it relevant to this day...

  • Yo! Merlin... I mean Karl we need another Vid soon!

  • Funny how CNN isn't reporting the DOW down almost 8OO points. They have the people distracted with the election crap. Like the election really makes a difference. Both Candidates are membes of the CFR. The ones behind this soon to be catastrophy.

  • am so fucking pissed! i wana kill these assholes!!!!

  • Buy lube.. they have not begun screwing us yet.

  • im fucking pissed....... they made us believe something that they were never going to do in the first place but WoW its great to know that ur screwing us (the american citizens) up to send 850 billon overseas to corrupt greedy assholes

  • Prescott wasn't born into this whole thing - his wife's father was part of the banking elite and got him in. JP Morgan was the real power behind the attempted Nazi coup in the United States. The Bush family is just a puppet family of the real power - ie, the bankers.

  • Because other more evil despicable families are propping them up and protecting them.

  • people of america, hope you don't hate chinese because of this.

  • Would this make any sense?

    Foreign investors put pressure on the American government through their own national institutions - repatriate these bad debts, or we will dump our dollar holdings.

    Were they blackmailed?

    Or are they just trying to complete the plundering and bankrupting of America?

    Are the 'big boys' moving east?

    Are they getting ready to close down America inc.?

  • LISTEN UP CONSUMERS.

    Freight brokers are big bankers. Truckers extend their credit to them, then turn around and pay brokers a percentage to be paid on our own extended credit. All our costs are paid upfront. Many times we factor our money. They also move military loads and Fema loads that hit their back pocket..the profits to brokers.

    Trucking is going to collapse, and then every job in America is screwed.

    Government and banking is to the people.

    What freight brokers are to trucking.

  • stupid ass administration

    even the presedial administrators are fucking idiots

  • rumpelstillskin, YES! My sentiments exactly (except for the Nader part:-) We The People can check out all the Third Party Options on the Ticket this year by logging on to the website Politics1 (then select "Political Parties")...

  • my senator mitch mcconnell voted yes bailout and he has lost my VOTE here everyone else needs to do the same find out who your congressman and senators are and vote them out get a sign for who is running agianst them put it in your yard and lets vote these crooks out of office and dont forget OBAMA / MCCAIN WHO BOTH VOTED FOR IT ( VOTE THIRD PARTY)(VOTE NADER)

  • So? Obama will be much different?

  • More than half of democrats ended up voting AYE and the bill passed.

  • We should now put on the ballot to cut congress and senates pay in half and cut their benifits in half and put that money towards the bailout. We should also make it have to go to the ballot when they want a raise, who else can walk into work and decide what they are going to make. It is time to take back!!!!! They work for us, and they are forgetting that they do!!!!

  • All those congresspeople who passed this piece of crap deserve to be shipped off to a North Korean prison camp!

  • The bail out is basically a welfare system for the wealthy.

  • Revelation 18

    For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

    And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

  • tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society-Aristotle. we are tolerating the behavior of our government that is distroying you and i ..

  • well said..

  • Hell is unfolding as Gordon brown has set a £500BILLION bail-out for British Banks! With the Whimsical promise that it will not go on MD bonuses.

    This is the same gov't that encouraged our UK local councils (who miserly run hospitals, schools & services etc..) to put the tax payers money that they hoarded into the Icelandic banks which have now stopped trading with no apparent compensation, flushing millions more of our hard earned money down the toilet!

  • This crash was engineered by our government, it is in times like this that government takes advantage of the plight of the people and expands its powers.

  • UK just got bailed out with £500bn thats almost $950bn. population of UK 60m Population of US 302m. Do the math, UK tax payers are paying £22,000 each or $40,000 each. It was done behind closed doors. The NWO will be based in the new "baby"lon lon"don"

  • LET IT ALL COLLAPSE!!!!!!!

  • yes...there is no other choice these idiots will never solve these economic problems.americans will die before they give up their credit ......live within your means retards...wake up

  • Would you be happier if he knew this guy was NOT wearing pants? Think about it.

  • i make wooden arrows and I WIN!!! it is totally worth it so i can make an extra $0.02 per arrow.. suck on that.

  • BAH! They'll be a coming with them wooden arrows to destroy our straw huts soon enough!

  • Wow. So the chinese are to blame ? What stupid national socialist trash - sorry enlightened political comentary.

  • I say kill all politicians. I mean ALL of them. And bankers of course.

  • I keep laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and, well, you get the picture.

  • mmm, and the stock market's doing awesome... O_o

    Thanks Government!

  • we should get bill gates to pay the 700 bill dept

  • These CEO's need to be locked up. FOR LIFE!

  • if i had 700 billion dollars and needed to save my country I would work a deal with the car industry and the department of energy to give every working american and electric car or a hydrogen car and stop foren dependancy on oil, every time you buy gas your money leaves this country forever. the way the goverment has done us with money should be an act of treason, and nothing less. the house has their alteror motives for aproving the bill.

  • The UK has also just moved to push through something similar, although I don't believe it has quite the same number of questionable clauses in!

    Although £50bn (IIRC $88bn) in relation to GDP it's also quite a sting. UK has also moved to cover UK national's accounts in Iceland's collapse too.

    Don't get me wrong (-5 last post) I think you raise some important questions that are equally valid over this side of the pond..

  • Thanks for this video. There should be nothing left to the imagination now.

  • McCain and Obama both back Israel the bailout and Wall St. What kind of best friend Obama states of Israel conspires against its constituents. (patriot act.) Their not done. Their both talking about limiting entitlements. Who's agenda do you think they are serving? The Peoples? We should see their resignations or their heads on a stick. People, Our Senators are damaged goods and need to be removed by our military if we are to have a future. A little birdy says Wait and see whats coming in7mo.

  • i work for the CIA and research about Amero and wake up already you sheep!

  • what is Amero.. America?

  • Its going to be the new currency for the north American union.

  • Good Call. We agree.

  • These bad securities are on the books of the American firms today. Why would they buy bonds from China to sell to the Fed when they need to clean their own houses first? Doing what this man suggests does NOT clean up Goldman's balance sheet! You left out *WHY* US firms need or want to do this.

  • Pathetic

  • Any woman in another country such as New Zealand want to mary me and take me away from this Evil Corupt US Federal Government??? If so I pray you find me and we can begin living happily ever after before it's too late for me to leave!!!

  • Americans should all join together and stop paying taxes for a few years. Get back what they stole from you.

  • So the major banks make so many bad loans that they essentially go bankrupt right? Now they need a rediculous bailout so they can.....go right back to loaning it out again? Are you f-ing kidding me?

  • As far as McCains bill about buying up foreclosed homes so that people can keep their homes, I am ok with that as long as the government wouldn't directly own your home. But I have no problem helping out my neighbor keep his home that got victimized by the system. They should of used this money to help pump money to the people to create jobs, stop sending jobs overseas, So that these people can afford to pay their bills.

  • What would have happened if they didn't do this? Nothing. They did it and the market tanked. Anyone in office today including Republicans and Democrats should be worried if they voted for this garbage. And where was the senate in this for the last two years? They didn't see this coming?

  • bailout, irak war, u got robbed every side soon china investor will go to us and make people work 20/24 7/7 for 40$ ill laugh more than tonigh...

  • join together people! :P and have fun!

  • As an Australian, I'm LOLing.

    :)

  • It's "world finance" so don't laugh too hard. Unfortunately, the greed that caused this "bail out" will bite you too.

  • as an american im LOLing too. haha this is good stuff. i hope it all collapses. word up!

  • Government has been infiltrated by global investers and corporations who care less about the people's interest in America or anywhere else for that matter.

  • Thanks for trying mate. Good luck to Americans .... and the world :\

  • Why the hell is this on Italian YouTube?

  • Demonise a common enemy to create empathy. I see he mentions china, japan and germany.. so that's all the old WW2 axis countries.. perhaps a new world war could help recover the economy?

    So US individual originally sold and created business with organisations outside the US. I'm sorry but *you* are to blame for your own actions. Stop whinging.

    I believe you as a commentator have a political agenda too.

  • Italy was the third axis power, not china...

  • Those countries were not Demonized, not in my eyes anyways, our Idiots in the Gov. were Demonized because they appropriated the money and gave it to those countries.

  • Very informative! 5/5

    Although I am depressed.

  • my guns are clean and my aim is true, get ready for the collapse.

  • Thanks Americans! I saw this coming up and thought to myself "isn't it nice the Americans are doing something for the rest of the world for once." :).

  • That is what happens when you start too wars without to be willing to pay for them, and instead start using money on chewing gum and crap as there was no tomorrow.

  • This China bashing is stupid - you better apologize when China does not get any money from this.

  • About the graphs.... I guess it´s not possible to make this links you did with the indexes. Isn´t the market irrational on short term? This movement seems very tecnical.

    Cheers.

  • No shit. If you produce 700 billion dollars over night you saturate what your money is worth because it is not as scarce. Then you give it away to other countries you owe so they don't wage war on the evil capitalists. Everything drops in price. Shares are worth jack shit and your country has once again fucked it's self. Since 2001 America has wasted so much cash on pure crap it could of build a base on the moon and created solar energy for the whole planet.

  • tend to agree with this guy!

    glad i dont live in the US

  • We're glad you don't live here either.

  • haha truth man

  • wtf small video inlay?

  • Bottom line...The Federal Reserve LIED!!!

    Let Wall Street crash. Sell all your stock. Let Corporate America eat shit and DIE!!!

  • NBC broadcasters report tonite: Iceland is on the brink of collapse, and seeks a $5 Bil loan from Russia.

    A fellow YouTuber who has family in Iceland just wrote me privately that her cousin reports that the Gov there locked the doors to Iceland's biggest bank YESTERDAY; saying the Krona has lost 70%, & is currently "inconvertible." She said there isn't a chicken left on the shelves to buy, and the country only has enough cash to pay for a month's food.

    Days of Future Past, folks?

  • Thanks for nothing bush administration, and house. Armageddon around 2012 doesn't seem that far fetched anymore. Time to start storing food and water, make solar panels, buy devices that treat bad water, boil water, grow your own food, buy a survival book and get ready for the UN Troops Martial Law. They couldnt take down America from the outside, but from the inside is working fine.

  • Mr Kdenniger, Please post a new vid. What is next?

  • im so happy they passed it what would of happen to my house if they went out of business and then i didnt have to repay my house lol i make payments on time i dont see how i would live lolz

  • Hold it right there, Paulsen and Bernanski - step away from the government... step away from Wall Street, step away from central banks or draw your community chest card - Go Directly to Jail, do not pass go, do not collect 700 billion dollars.

  • I wish it were so simple...

  • Don't worry, an election of socialist obabma and the Oligarchs will prop up the economy, so long as they can get control!

  • Rescue Plan = they took the money and ran, while telling us it will take time to work and that there's more pain ahead.
