Black was a central figure in exposing Congressional corruption during the Savings and Loan Crisis. He took the notes during the Keating Five meeting that were later published in the press, and brought the event to national attention and a congressional investigation.
On April 3, 2009 Black appeared on Bill Moyers Journal on PBS and provided critical commentary on the U.S. banking crisis.[8] In the interview with Bill Moyers,[9] Black asserted that the banking crisis in the United States that started in late 2008 is essentially a big Ponzi scheme; that the "liar loans" and other financial tricks were essentially illegal frauds; and that the triple-A ratings given to these loans was part of a criminal cover-up. He said that the "Prompt Corrective Action Law" passed after the Savings and loan crisis mandated that ailing banks should be put into receivership. Black also stated that trying to hide how bad the situation is will simply prolong the problem, as happened in Japan's lost decade. Black stated that Timothy Geithner is engaged in a cover-up, and that the administration does not want people to understand what went wrong or how bad the banking situation is today.
We’ve got students being crippled by ever-escalating loans while wages fall behind; we’ve got homeless people, bouncing from friends to family members’ houses for shelter while they roam the country looking for work; we’ve got military personnel tired of fighting wars based on banking schemes instead of defending America as they signed up to do; there are the people trapped under mortgage and credit scams, people with their jobs now being completed by machines or foreign slaves, and that’s just to name a few

HIs/Her name is LOGIC and REASON. It transcends UPON ALL religio-socio-political and economic truths.
Logic and Reason lives within us all
Search for the one who is not easily corrupted or manipulated.
+ people can be manipulated , too.
As they were on moon landing or in 911.
If you care about TPTB , you care about their living vessels. Their vessels are multinational oil companies , banks and military complex.
Will the people in OWS stand against those companies ?

It is not perception, but reality, of what had happened, is happening and will continue to happen if serious and genuine corrections are not made.
Logic and Reason lives within us all, and THUS each of us is a leader in this highly informed and educated world. Even though we may each have our differences, join OWS with our perceptions, but there IS a common ground of reality where we ALL share and stand upon to seek for necessary changes.
And since it started, changes had already started taking place as more still need to be done to progress. Look around, and you will realize what the participants of OWS had done to shake and change our world. We and the next generations owe everyone of them all a debt of honour, for without their sacrifice, pain and even lives, we would all be slaves today and forever....
I don't care about Oil and have lived without before and can do it again, I bank by a private local back as everyone should. And well the military what can I do there?
they need to have a heart and change for the better of mankind...
We are all leaders and followers of each other. Learn to teach.

If the OWS movement is not about reform or revolution, then it will be nothing more than bunch of people who are occupying parks and territories. It HAS to grow bigger, larger, and scare the crap out of anyone who thinks having billions of dollars is going to save their arse.
It cannot go anywhere unless it brings down the current system and then reinstate another one. Because if it doesn't reinstate another one, some other country will come and do so on your behalf. The same way the US did in Iraq. You want that happening to you?
Even if you don't want a leader now, who's going to be the leader when the old system collapses? Your grandma? Or the man with the most money who can campaign himself?? or worse, NO LEADER.There is no such thing as a people with no leader.edit on 27-10-2011 by nusnus because: (no reason given)
OWSoros needs to not be funded by Tides foundation(soros,gates,rockefeller).
