The U.S. media/press has demonstrated that their corporate ownership renders them incapable of providing the people with a valid news source. Some are blatant propaganda instruments. We need a pure non-partisan, independent watchdog entity. One that fact checks and grades the correctness and trustworthiness of a media/press source. A politifact type service with ratings similar to a motion pictures. Any professional media/press entity would have a rating prominently displayed on each page of a publication or video screen. It's regrettable to have to resort to such oversight. Worse is to allow propaganda to shape public opinion with falsefoods. No nation can remain great unless the people's thoughts are derived from true facts.

Amerika's free press. In reality corporate journalism delivering facist propaganda. Currently manufacturing consent for imminent post election war with Iran. WWIII coming in 2013.

You know what? This is what happened to me and the main bank that did this was not a national bank when they did it. We should take our money out of banks period. Yes, in a mattress would be safer place to put your money than any bank in this country today.

In the vein of “Too Big To Jail” and “Occupy Wall Street Protests On The Brooklyn Bridge” you should know about an unknown, which I’m here to tell you about. Financial matters are much worse than the public realizes and my story affects all Americans. Yet, what’s happened to me sits behind closed doors of secrecy starting with US Attorney General Holder.

The truth is we are living in a financial holocaust created by the small banks, national banks and financial institutions; sanctioned by our government authorities.

Did you know that any financial institution can pluck millions of dollars right out of a named trust account and get away with it in this country? The victim is then instantly thrown into the streets, with their credit unlawfully destroyed; unable to get employment and does not qualify for government assistance. In my case, I was an independently wealthy woman who spent her life raising three beautiful daughters and had just started a new business at forty eight years old; I'm now sixty two. And, not one government authority will investigate this; even after ten years of complaints made to the proper authorities. Should the public not know about this financial institution, so they can protect themselves? Besides if they aren't charged and prosecuted they'll just do it over and over again to millions more consumers.

One would have to see what I’ve seen and experienced to realize how corrupt our United States of America has become or they would have to hear about it from the authorities. Since it’s the authorities hiding these horrendous federal crimes, the victims go unheard…continually violated, and dying in the streets. I feel like I've been hit by the mafia.

What's more one can contact all their congressmen, and women, assemblymen, and women plus their senators; begging for their help and they'll ignore you. You can even write the president as a last resort...he ignores you too.

Someone needs to interview US Attorney General Holder, Attorney General Harris, Attorney General Cox or even Governor Brown and ask, “ It’s your job, and our taxes pay you to investigate these horrendous crimes and prosecute the financial institutions. Would you like to comment on why you wouldn’t investigate the federal crimes committed against this trust and woman? What other federal crimes committed against the consumer by a bank or national financial institution have you ignored and whom else has had all their assets embezzled by their own bank? And, while you’re at it please explain to the public why the state bars are hiding criminals that happen to be attorneys?” So far, the only way the public will hear my outrageous story is my book.

I've written this from behind four thin walls of a tent, where I've resided for two years.

Both the mainstream and alternative media refuse to talk or write about this. And, we wonder why our country is falling apart? From my perspective one of the major problems in the United States are the serious financial crimes being committed by the financial institutions while our authorities know all about this and purposely ignore it. The authorities' corruptions are the bottom line issues in this country. Does this sound like another Hitler situation? Only this time the killings start by destroying people financially. It doesn't matter how many zeros are involved with the assets a consumer has...everyone is subject to these crimes and there will be nothing done about it...period. reply permalink edit delete

propaganda is now so extreme so repetitious so indoctrinating and so in unison that is like brainwashing. It causes people to be scared to think differently.

Everyone has a bias; even an independent watchdog entity would have a bias. People just need to learn to filter out bullshit and propaganda.

agree ... but the propaganda is now so extreme so repetitious so indoctrinating and so in unison that is like brainwashing. It causes people to be scared to think differently. WMD , Dictator , alciada, Double dip, Osama. It is starting to sound like the NAZI's propaganda
