Video From Wednesday's (June 15, 2011) Riots In Greece

The first video (NBC News With Brian Williams) is a brief look by Tom Costello explaining why interest rates on Greek bonds are now 18% and why a default could reverberate as dominoes such as Ireland, Spain, and Portugal fall next. There is also a bit of footage of the street riots in this report.

The next four videos are all clips showing in more detail what the riots look like from street level and from balconies overlooking the battleground.

Jim Corr of the Irish Band "The Corrs" Talks About "Robin Hood In Reverse"

Jim Corr of the Corrs talks more economic sense than 99.9% of all Politicians and Economists in Europe.

Corr proclaims what Ireland needs to do now: quit bailing out the bondholders and private shareholders of the Too Big To Fail Banks in his country. He states Ireland needs to follow Iceland's lead and feed the failure of the big banks to the people who supported the banks by purchasing bonds and failed derivatives. He advocates not forcing the failures of the banks onto the taxpayers who did not support the banks in the first place.

He says it is massive fraud in banking which privatized gains while socializing losses.

What Corr doesn't use are the words "Moral Hazard", but Jim Corr does introduce one free mention of "The Money Masters", a film which The Watchworld recently brought to light on this very blog.

If you have never watched "The Money Masters", click here now and educate yourself as to who controls the central banks of the most powerful nations on the planet.


Meanwhile . . . why does it take a musician from an Irish band to pose hardball questions which few elected politicians dare whisper?





p.s. And for those of you who have never heard The Corrs, here's one of my favorites by them, "When The Stars Go Blue" with some guy named Bono doing a stand in, LIVE:
