www.DemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! broadcasts on the road from Kansas City, Missouri, today. Amy Goodman interviews William Black, a white-collar criminologist, former financial regulator, and author of "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One." Black teaches economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and recently took part in Occupy Kansas City. "If you look [at the Occupy protests] not just nationwide, but worldwide, you will see some pretty consistent themes developing," Black says. "That includes, we have to deal with the systemically dangerous institutions, the 20 biggest banks that the administration says are ticking time bombs. As soon as one of them fails, we go back into a global crisis. We should fix that, there's no reason have institutions that large. Accountability is also a theme, that we should put these felons in prison ... And that we should get jobs now and that we should deal with foreclosure crisis. ... Those are four common themes you can see in these protests... I think over time you'll not necessarily have some grand written agenda, but you will have increasing consensus, a broad consensus."

The Bank of England Governor Mervyn King has warned that the problems with the British banking system also revolve around the issue of a "bank too big to fail" a critical factor which has not yet been resolved. Mr King compares the banking culture of short-term profits and bonuses with that of traditional manufacturing industries which he says operate in a more "moral" manner. They care deeply about their workforce about their customers and above all are proud of their products. With the banks there isn't that sense of longer term relationships.

The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board is currently gathering feedback on its consultation paper, which recommended increasing the city's deposit protection limit to HK$500000 from its previous limit of HK$100000. Mr Li also discusses the government's full guarantee scheme, which will expire at the end of next year, and why this scheme cannot last forever.

30/09/2011 In this edition of On the Edge, Max Keiser interviews Pierre Jovanovic from Jovanovic.com. They discuss the run on French banks & how President Sarkozy's administration is dealing with this. The European debt crisis is also discussed. Many analysts are saying that it may not be a Greek default that spurs the next big crisis, but a liquidity crunch at French banks. France's largest banks have lost almost half their value since August 1, leading to solvency concerns. Without an injection of cash from the European Central Bank investors may continue to flee French finance, spreading panic along the way.

Our mission is simple, we intend to start an occupation of our own in Minnesota. We need to let the people who run this country know that the 99% have a voice, and we intend to be heard! We are going to achieve this by standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in New York City that are currently working to Occupy Wall Street. Currently, OccupyMN is gathering volunteers, donations, and coordinating efforts with many local individuals, causes, and organizations to arrange the Minnesota occupation. www.occupymn.org About OccupyWallStreet: More information at: www.occupywallst.org "The Principles of Solidarity" On September 17, 2011, people from all across the United States of America and the world came to protest the blatant injustices of our times perpetuated by the economic and political elites. On the 17th we as individuals rose up against political disenfranchisement and social and economic injustice. We spoke out, resisted, and successfully occupied Wall Street. Today, we proudly remain in Liberty Square constituting ourselves as autonomous political beings engaged in non-violent civil disobedience and building solidarity based on mutual respect, acceptance, and love. It is from these reclaimed grounds that we say to all Americans and to the world, Enough! How many crises does it take? We are the 99% and we have moved to reclaim our mortgaged future.

Since the very day that it was formed the American financial system of banks, brokers, and Wall Street traders has been plagued with scandals. But from every scandal that broke, we got a new set of laws and regulations that were supposed to fix these problems. Well, given the number of scandals that have emerged over the last few years, I'd say its time for a complete overhaul of this system. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the history of America's financial scandals, and what we can do to help put an end to the white collar theft that's been taking place on Wall Street for the last 8 years with Steve Koepp, editor of Fortune Magazine.

Neil Barofsky is the man who tracks the historic bailout known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP. Named in December, the 39-year-old special inspector general monitors a dozen separate bailout-related programs, which now account for nearly $3 trillion in financial commitments. Barofsky has subpoena power and, as a former federal prosecutor who successfully pursued white-collar crime, he has wasted no time in demanding details from institutions rescued by TARP. From a floor of office on L Street, the man known as SIGTARP has launched about two dozen investigations. In an audit released in July, Barofsky made clear that he was intent on demanding transparency from all quarters - including the US Treasury. His next audit is due in October. In a half-hour interview with the Investigative Fund, Barofsky lays out the breadth of his work and is blunt in his assessment about whether the financial system, now with fewer and bigger banks, is yet safe. "I think we may be in a far more dangerous place today than we were a year ago," he said.

Charles Ferguson shows how useful a varied background in math, political science and business can be, as he dissects the complexities and recent crisis of the US financial system. In a lecture that distills many of the arguments of his recent film, Inside Job, Ferguson conveys dispassionately yet persuasively the reasons we all should feel profound anxiety not only about the nation's financial institutions, but about our economic and political future as well. Ferguson details the "securitization food chain," a system of investing (and gambling) with debt that US financial institutions enthusiastically adopted around 15 years ago. Encouraged by friendly government policies, a handful of investment behemoths such as JP Morgan and Lehman Brothers began transforming the banking landscape, buying up mortgages and other forms of debt worth countless billions of dollars, and packaging these securities for buyers worldwide. Allied financial institutions became adept at selling cheap mortgages to ordinary people, creating an inflated housing market. Insurance and ratings companies bought in. The speed of growth and scale of this securities chain was unprecedented, recounts Ferguson -- as was its impact on the nation's economy, both at the market's peak, and after its collapse. Ferguson provides a very detailed and pointed sidebar on industry incentives that underlay the wild growth years. These included allowing investment banks to bet on the failure of their own securities; and <b>...</b>
