Bill Moyers 07/18/2008
Tonights show was very revealing of what has occurred in this country and places us on notice of the seriousness of our situation. If you haven't seen this show and have the means to watch it, it is highly recommended.
Willian Greider especially, revealed the flaws that have crept into our system of governance and the regulatory environment. The things that have occurred and the reasons behind them are aptly described.

Moyers the BLIND, always plays all sides against the boob stuck to the middle of his TV set. As with most major media wimps, his(BM or BS)is always a reaction of hind sight that is always decades late! OUR dear clueless CREEPing Bill was in the David Rockefeller created Jimmy Carter slam dunk deregulation wreaking crew, who helped in doing their great part in getting us into this Post Industrial garbage heap of an economy that they all NOW poo-poo about. Bill the Lip, never much of a real fighter, just became content being another one of those holier than heaven class-A PBS fraudsters with the power of a weekly time slot, and thus Moyers always has a program without a solution, which can NEVER be much of a cure. The nominal citizen, at this rate, will never KNOW their history! On July 22, American statesman Lyndon LaRouche will take the stage in Washington, D.C., to give leadership to the American people, and world leaders, in the midst of the greatest financial breakdown crisis in centuries. In listening to the LaRouche webcast, as we hope you will, and confronting the breathtaking number of bankruptcies which are now burying the financial system... Only a fundamental and sudden change in the world monetary-financial system will prevent a general, immediate chain-reaction type of collapse. At what speed we don't know, but it will go on, and it will be unstoppable!”

Don't be so damn critical. This style worked for James Joyce. Granted, Ulysses was more readable.

As a "nominal citizen," I found both the Moyers show as well as the above indictment of Moyers fascinating. I never knew that such a blind wimp as Moyers actually wielded so much power with his weekly time slot.
In any case, I'm from Cleveland and there's a devastating segment on the decimation of neighborhoods in the Cleveland suburbs. I haven't seen the results of the mortgage meltdown where I currently live, so this was scary.
Recommended, for the show and the comments!

Probably because the majority of site participants are Obamanoids -- American Idol fans always waiting for their hero to take the stage and belt out the next shallow, syrupy, over-sung anthem.
Thinking seriously about the nation's banking and financial industries is too fatiguing for their tiny brains, and spending time listening to William Greider or reading James Grant is such a downer.

These TV entertainment icons refused to have the fighting courage to listen to the wise words of LaRouche three decades ago on maintaining FDR methods, thus steering U.S. economic policy out of harms way. Instead these same talking heads chose to go along to get along. Their TV media mantra was all about that Nobel-certified monetarist idiot, Milton Friedman, and the results of those very bad economic policy decisions have played out, as always in real physical economics, over one to two generations, so if your REACTING because your sage media advisors, like you, are just beginning to react, your minimally one generation to late! The wait and see if it is real litmus test, because it was confirmed by the high standard priest of print, electronic or cyber media, of citizen John Q. Couch Potato Head, on the easy viewing road to hell. Such spectacular creations of the popular opinion makers, means typically that before you can wake up (from spin) you might have already died! The United States is now at end game, and more of the same TV BULLSHIT is not the (change) reform back to a FDR system we need for national survival. Only an FDR system will work to pull us up out of this crisis, so what are you people going to do, while LaRouche continues to fight YOUR battles for you?

July 18, 2008 (LPAC)--On July 1, Lyndon LaRouche proposed emergency action by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, to prevent social chaos, in the face of looming collapses of some leading U.S. commercial banks and other financial institutions.
LaRouche presented two emergency measures, aimed as stop-gaps, to prevent chaos.
First, he called for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to four percent, in order to assure that institutional depositors maintain their deposits in the banking system.
Second, LaRouche called on the Federal Reserve to make it clear that whenever any commercial banks face insolvency, they will be put through bankruptcy reorganization under Fed protection.
