The banks are financial terrorists and the way that they conduct their operations and whether it's sub prime lending markets that they fraudulently induced – You know Goldman Sachs is now being investigated again for more fraud, more accounting fraud, more criminality – Lloyd Blankfein brought before Congress again to be investigated for potential perjury.

Everything they touch they turn into some act of larceny or accounting fraud and this is how they pay themselves $140 billion and bonuses at the end of the year in an economy that's collapsing as jobs are disappearing, as food stamps are increasing.

By the way food stamps or the invention and creation and administration of J.P. Morgan. So, they make money out of creating and running ghettos. They make money out of financial terrorism.

When these markets crash, they make billions. Hank Paulson and his crew made billions on the bank bailout of 2008.

This is the way you conduct financial terrorism. And all the money that Obama has been spending to fight so-called terrorism elsewhere in the world, he would do the world a great big favor by going down to Wall Street arresting the financial terrorists and throwing them in Guantánamo Bay, having them tortured, of course, because of their crimes against humanity.

Video - 2min 19sec. "In The Great American Stickup", celebrated journalist Robert Scheer uncovers the hidden story behind one of the greatest financial crimes of our time: the Wall Street financial crash of 2008 and the consequent global recession.

Instead of going where other journalists have gone in search of this story—the board rooms and trading floors of the big Wall Street firms—Scheer goes back to Washington, D.C., a veritable crime scene, beginning in the 1980s, where the captains of the finance industry, their lobbyists and allies among leading politicians destroyed an American regulatory system that had been functioning effectively since the era of the New Deal.

One California insurance company Anthem Blue Cross notified individual policy holders, last week, that their premiums would be going up as much as high as 39% this year.

Anthem Blue Cross is spending millions on executive salaries and lobby efforts against healthcare reform -- and how are they paying for it? By forcing 39% increases on their policy holders in California.

President Obama: "If we don't act, this is just a preview of coming attractions."

I would point out that Ford owns Mazda and General Motors is a largest shareholder in Isuzu. Why is it that those two Japanese auto manufacturers haven't been named in this big defect hoopla.
