Nick Hildyard from the Cornerhouse at The Bigger Picture Festival in London October 2009 (organized by nef - the new economics foundation. Filmed by EcoLabs.)
Since its founding in 1997, The Corner House has aimed to support democratic and community movements for environmental and social justice. It is motivated by the concerns of such movements, whether they be locally-based struggles for land or water rights or better health care; campaigns against destructive mining, dam or forestry projects; or struggles against racial discrimination.
Here, Nick Hildyard of the Corner House tells his audience that the Big Banks are much better organized than We the People. I believe it's always a good thing to listen to people whose views on religions, Economy, politics, etc., don't mesh with my views . . . and Hildyard's view on government is way more benign than mine. However, I like what he says about people vs. the Big Banks.
I'm outraged about Goldman Sachs power and how it is growing geometrically throughout this crisis. So is Nick Hildyard. Listening to him, I found myself shaking my head virorously in agreement and disagreement during his short speech. Still, his anger against the Big Banks is not misplaced.
Give this a listen to understand more clearly we are sitting on a powder keg of lower and middle class anger across the world, and if the banksters don't start listening soon, this Recession could turn into something much worse than what we've experienced thusfar...
