The Best Video Ever - Wall Street - How The Market Really Works

Two British Comedians talking about the sub - prime market, and the Financial crisis - 12 months ago.

News is just out that the US Congess has approved the US $700m Wall Street Bail out.

I saw this video about March this year and thought it was very funny. What I realise now is how chillingly accurate their satirical predictions are.

This is hilarious - scary - how can two British comedians see and predict the unfolding crisis with such clarrity yet none of the powerbrokers, politician could?

Warren Buffet on Wall Street Bailout and some good advice.

This is an excellent video / audio of the Worlds Greatest Investor talking about his $3 billion investment in GE and the Wall Street Bail Out.

I consider Warren Buffet (the Oracle of Omaha ) to be one of the wisest people in the world and he has some great advise in these times of financial turmoil.

Hope you get something out of this. Click on the image to watch.

US President George Bush Economic Crisis Speech 24th September 2008 - Video of the Day!

Make a note in your diary or I’d suggest if you don’t have one - start one or a scrap book or something. We are currently living through a momentous time in history. What we are currently seeing is a seismic shift in world power.

The worlds “centre of democratic capitalism” the USA economy is failing. I don’t know if the shift in global power will be to China, Russia or the European Union but its happening.

Here is the full 12 minute and 56 second “Economic Crisis” speech delivered to the US people by President George Bush on Wednesday the 24th of September 2008. Not since the great depression of 1930’s have we heard a US Presidential address like this.

Today Friday the 26th the US congress has still not approved the Presidents “rescue plan” which involves using $700 billion Tax payer dollars to take “toxic debt” off banks and financial institutions books.

No Bravery - Video of the Day!

I’m inspired to share this video with you by a comment that I made in trying to discourage any discussion of Israeli / Palestine, Jews, Arab antisemitic issues on Agmates Forums. As you will gather I feel very strongly about these issues: The comment:

.

I’m no expert on the middle east, but I do know there is bugger all love lost between the Jews & and Arabs or is it the Jews and the Muslims.

Either way, it is not something I have any interest in discussing on Agmates. I’ve been to Dachau Concentration camp in Germany, seen the gas chambers. One of the most disturbing days of my life.

The absolute gut wrenching disgust I felt for the human races to ability to commit genocide against another ethnic group based on religious beliefs, skin colour or culture is a manifestation of mankind’s purest evil.

We in Australia have no concept of the madness that grips a nation of people who engages in or condones ethnic cleansing i.e. Nazi Germany, Cambodia, Kosavo, etc. etc, etc

So if you don’t mind - lets not go there on this forum?

.

So here is one of the greatest songs ever performed about the evil of war and the madness that can sweep nations:

James Blunt - No Bravery: Blunt was a Lieutenant in the NATO force that responded to reported human rights abuses by Yugoslavian forces in Kosovo. He wrote this song as a result of what he saw.

I’ll admit this song stirs very strong emotions every time I hear it.

See Words to No Bravery Here

Update 5pm: Comment by Jeff:

“Thanks Steve, That brings you back to reality very quickly, with James Blunt’s rather eerie vocal and the frightening graphics. I get a similar effect with the video of “Miss Sarajevo”, U2 and Luciano Pavarotti.

The banner at the end, held by the beauty pageant contestants says it all “Don’t let them kill us”

Your right Jeff - thanks and here it is.

Capital Punishment for our School Kids? - Video of the day.

On Channel Nines Today show this week Australia’s sole surviving One Nation State MP Rosa Lee Long is calling for Corporal punishment to be reintroduced to QLD schools.

Channel Nine wants capital Punishment for unruly school students.

Wikipedia definition of Corporal Punishment: is the deliberate infliction of pain intended to punish a person or change his/her behavior.”

Wikipedia definition of Capital Punishment: also known as the death penalty, is the execution of a person by the state as punishment for a crime.”

If channel nine has its way you may want to get your children out of State run schools. Hehe.

Have your say.

Do you agree with Rosa Lee Long?

Should we bring back the cane / strap / black board duster or any blunt instrument capable of being wielded or thrown by a teacher as they were in my school days to keep us in line.

WWF - This is what you are dealing with - Video of the day

In light of the WWF attacks on QLD farmers, have a look at this video to see the sort of crazies farmers are up against.

Thanks to Agmates reader Jeff from his comments:

.

“Earth First, an organisation that can be linked to Greenpeace and TNC. The clip is embarrassingly funny, but it also will sober you up when you realise the sort of people your dealing with.”

.

.

Have your say. Did the hair stand up on the back of your neck like mine did as you watched this?
