From: Subject: Elliot Spitzer Was Right! BrasscheckTV video + Democracy Now!: AIG and the Big Takeover ++ Democracy Now @ Seattle GREEN FESTIVAL
(from Brasschecktv.com ) Here's a video we produced and issued a year ago. Most people didn't "get" it at the time. Some accused us of spinning a wild conspiracy theory. While it's true that former NY governor Elliot Spitzer cavorted with prostitutes, if every politician who does the same were busted, there'd be no one left in Washington. So why was Elliot Spitzer really taken out by the Republican organized crime machine a year ago? Hint: AIG, Goldman Sachs, and sub-prime fraud. We reported this a full year ago. Brasscheck TV subscribers knew this back then. Now CNN and others are getting a clue.

Thanks. = = = = = = = = = TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!: * AIG and the Big Takeover: Matt Taibbi on "How Wall Street Insiders Are Using the Bailout to Stage a Revolution" * In a new article in Rolling Stone Magazine, journalist Matt Tabbi takes an in-depth look at the story behind AIG. "The reality is that the worldwide economic meltdown and the bailout that followed were together a kind of revolution, a coup d'état," writes Taibbi. "They cemented and formalized a political trend that has been snowballing for decades: the gradual takeover of the government by a small class of connected insiders, who used money to control elections, buy influence and systematically weaken financial regulations."

The report, "Jailed Without Justice," says that tens of thousands languish in immigration prisons in deplorable conditions without receiving a hearing to determine whether their detention is warranted.

Sanders Blocking Vote to Confirm Obama Nominee Who Worked to Deregulate Credit Default Swaps * We speak with Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who is attempting to block President Obama's nominee to head the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Gary Gensler, a former Goldman Sachs employee. "Gensler worked with Sen. Phil Gramm and Alan Greenspan to exempt credit default swaps from regulation, which led to the collapse of A.I.G. and has resulted in the largest taxpayer bailout in U.S. history," Sanders said.
