Courtesy of Open Culture, Inside Job, http://www.openculture.com/2011/04/inside_job.html the scariest Wall Street "horror movie" ever produced can now be seen for free. Charles Ferguson's masterpiece is a must watch for anyone and everyone who has even a passing interest in the intersection of finance, economics, politics, corruption, crime, complacency and above all, the human inability to predict the future when the only driving force is pure greed. And as Open Culture notes, "Inside Job can be purchased on DVD at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041K ... B0041KKYBA

We all love free, but let’s remember that good projects cost real money to develop, and they could use real financial support. So please consider buying a copy." We can only hope that more commentators ilke Ferguson will step up and present the criminal events leading to the greatest economic and market crash since the Great Depression.

Open Culture's brief commentary is most appropriate:

Hopefully watching or buying this film won’t be a pointless act, even though it can rightly feel that way. As Charles Ferguson reminded us during his Oscar acceptance speech, we are three years beyond the Wall Street crisis and taxpayers (you) got fleeced for billions. But still not one Wall Street exec is facing criminal charges. Welcome to your plutocracy…

Charles Ferguson, who deservedly won an Oscar for his must watch movie of 2010, Inside Job, http://www.zerohedge.com/article/watch- ... gle+Reader which exposed such self-caricatures as Larry Summers, Napoleon Dynamite Sr, and Glenn Hubbard for the hollow shams they are, and who made waves by making the only logical statement at this year's Oscar celebration by asking why nobody on Wall Street had gone to prison, appeared on Charlie Rose in yet another must watch interview. Ferguson is once again given a chance to clarify his position on why nobody will likely ever go to prison for what amounts to the greatest generational and class heist ever witnessed: "Do you expect that there will be prosecutions for criminal wrongdoing coming out of what we now know?" The answer: "Whether there will be or not, is a function of political pressure because it is unfortunately disastrously, tragically clear that the Obama administration has no interest in doing anything about this." The reason, according to Ferguson for Obama's (lack of) action is: "there is a menu of answers: he is personally very conflict averse, to cold-blooded political calculation, to lack of experience and therefore insecurity in large very scale economic and financial matters, and therefore being a prisoner of his advisors. Perhaps some combination of all of those things..." In other words true lack of change that banker pocket change can believe in. As for what would take to fix the broken system we find ourselves in: "(i) change the role of money in elections, (ii) to pay regulators well, and (iii) have law enforcement that is necessary to enforce the laws we have." Alas the Inside Job director does not see any of these happening any time soon. Neither does anybody else.

Thanks airborn, that was an excellent documentary.

Wake up America. You have been ripped off of all you ever thought dear, and that is not enough for some few. You have been taken over by thieves and con-men. The art of the deal and the con-men that put them together are corrupt.

This is not a partisan problem. This is a problem that requires all to look at honestly and objectively.

This film left a critical piece alone, understandably, as it would have taken another documentary to explain, inflation and its effects, and the role of the Federal Reserve. This inflationary/deflationary element will continue to push for evermore efficiency in the worlds market, and that push will lead to evermore corruption as more understand the stakes.

Wake up. The clock is ticking...........
