Two days ago, there was a forum/panel about freedom & democracy, where the lineup included: Jeremy Scahill, Edward Snowden, Paul Jay (of TRN), Rick Wolff, and others.

Now, I know I'm biased when it comes to the topics of surveillance, the war on terror, capitalism, etc, but that does sound like a panel worth reporting on, doesn't it? It's not frontpage stuff, sure, but a column/comment online...

Nothing, last I checked. Not a peep.

Who did report on it? RT Germany.

As far as I am concerned, RT is a valid source, as long as you remain aware of their (pro-Russia) angle. It's actually a great source for stuff on the US or the UK, most of the time. Just like I've seen good stuff on Russia in the Swiss media, unlike the red-baiting so prevelant in the WaPo these days.

T-Trn has been blacklisted as a bottom-dwelling spammer by chicchorea. This account has been ban-hammered and all its comments redacted.

Ah, good to see that TRN had Flassbeck on again. I'll definatly check it out tonight.

Overall, Flassbeck might be just about the only prominent German economist to argue in this manner. Everyone else is in line with the neoclassic orthodoxy.

Moving this video to N-Trn's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

So while you're hoping he fails, and this turns into a huge fucking mess, so you can rub it in me or DFT's faces, I'm hoping he pulls it off, because I don't want lots of innocent people to die.


I agree. blankfist sees this as a game and shows no genuine concern for anything other than his own ego.

For anyone interested in going beyond the sports of politics, there is a good exchange of ideas here: http://videosift.com/video/Democracy-Now-Debate-on-U-S-Military-Intervention-in-Libya, here: http://videosift.com/video/TRN-Obama-and-the-Libyan-Rebellion and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4Sg8U07tDQ (still unsifted, go for it.)

And for the record, I'm pretty sympathetic to both sides of the debate at this point. Helping the Libyans to gain independence is a good thing, but fears of Milton Friedman style Chicago school economic imperialism (like we've seen in Iraq, Chile, Argentina, Nicaragua, etc.) are well founded.

I'm a centrist on this issue.

upvote for TRN and pepe escobar.
lets remember that the iranian president is little more than a mouthpiece,it is the supreme leader who pulls the strings.

aloha!

i took ornthoron's advice and killed it first, but that didn't seem to work either. any way i can get this transferred to redsky?

This video has been declared a duplicate; transferring votes to the original video and killing this dupe - dupeof declared by Ornthoron.

^dupeof doesn't work that way. If you want RedSky to have it, you have to kill your own first.

*dupeof=http://www.videosift.com/video/TRN-Offshore-accounts-contributed-to-meltdown

heh
i sifted this a day ahead, but feel weird being the beneficiary of a dupeof that i spotted, and you're the one who had the official title, and the ANP embed and not my TRN rebroadcast, so i'm duping mine out instead.
funny seeing a whole other list, of equally-appropriate tags/description, that still hardly overlap. the statistic that i found most startling, was that citigroup alone will apparently get at least $345 billion.

and that they were one of the largest offshore-account violators prosecuted, in that list of major banks at the 1-min mark!
