NOTE: very important but NOT, IMHO, "the Crime of Our Time." That instead would be USRael
sowing the seeds for WWIII, as witnessed by it's most recent aggression in the Ukraine and the Middle East.

Our October film will deal with American Imperialism.
Plunder - the Crime of Our Times
"it's going to be an uphill battle to get this film seen because the forces that created the crisis are the forces that dominate the discussion of the crisis"

Exposing the forces responsible for the loss of trillions of dollars, millions of jobs, massive foreclosures and the disappearance of retirement funds, Plunder: The Crime of Our Time investigates the unregulated fraud and theft that led to the market's collapse in fall 2008.

Filmmaker Danny Schechter explores the epidemic of subprime mortgages, predatory lending, insurance scams, and high-risk hedge funds that caused the collapse of the housing market and a full-scale economic meltdown.

Schechter speaks to a range of analysts and insiders about the origins of the crisis: bankers, respected economists, insider experts, top journalists and a convicted white-collar criminal, Sam Antar, who admits:
"The white collar criminal has no legal constraints; you subpoena documents, we destroy documents; you subpoena witnesses, we lie. So you are at a disadvantage when it comes to the white-collar criminal. In effect, we're economic predators"
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men, they create  for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."  ~Frederic Bastiat, 'The Law' (1850)

"... our economy has crashed, brought down not just by greed but calculated schemes that flouted the intent of our laws, enriched a few and devastated the economy, leading to a massive loss of jobs, homes and personal wealth." ~ Danny Schechter

"This is the most expensive take-out, the biggest crime in world history; We're talking about a crime we can't even quantify; you're talking trillions of dollars - minimum."  ~ Nomi Prins, Bears Stearns &  Goldman Sachs

"It can fairly be said that the chain of catastrophic bets made over the past decade by a few hundred bankers may well turn out to be the greatest non-violent crime against humanity in history." ~Graydon Carter, journalist

"America, they say love it or leave it; well, i loved it and it left me."  ~from My Country My Ass (song)
