This time we look at how the banks probably knew they were going to be bailed out long before they sold one worthless investment.  Also, more clarification about Occupy Wall Street’s unselfish, nonpartisan motives.  Plus, I get out from behind the microphone and go to Occupy Delaware (even the Police were impressed)

Issue 89 A Time For Some Action and Support

Posted by Jim Smith on October 9, 2011 No comments

 

(10/9/2011)
This week the Gut Reaction takes a turn toward activism with an official declaration of support for the Occupy Wall Street movement and a lengthy interview with Ryan Hoffman, co-author of the movements’ ONLY official declaration to date (check the link below).  None  of the “demands” other people are posting to their website and elsewhere, apparently out of wishful thinking on their part, are legitimate or official.
We start with MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan’s call to ‘Get Money out of Politics’ and, with over 162 THOUSAND signatures (as of Sunday night) supporting Ratigan’s proposed constitutional amendment aimed at shutting off the flow of big money to politicians, it’s an excellent, and clear expression of the people’s outrage.
And the continue with our series about the Occupy Wall Street protest-turned-movement and how THAT is also a great example of the people’s unhappiness with our government and the multi-Billion dollar corporations that are buying our government wholesale.

The GRJ #88 The ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest Pt2

Posted by Jim Smith on October 2, 2011 No comments

(10/2/2011)

This week we have just one topic again.  The ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest is entering its third week and shows no sign of letting up.  And now, new protests are springing up in cities all across the country.  Is this the beginning of the end for the corporation/government alliance that is hurting this country or just a very stressful time for the nation?
And we have another guest, a man who was there in the middle of it all just last week.  He will share his experiences, insights and observations with us in this week’s edition of the Journal.

Plus, this week’s Good Guy is Mercy Medical Airlift, the group that flies patients to faraway facilities to get the medical care they need.
