1. We need a recap on every video -- for some reason I can't hear this one ...

so it always helps to give some indication of what the video is about --

what Hartmann is saying --

Many don't have time for videos --

4. The economic picture on the whole, I guess as covered by the Financial Times.

The link between manufacturing jobs lost and economic downturns, which in one early case was the "dot com" bubble. Theory is put forth that in the middle of 2012, the economy is gonna take a nose dive to make the right wing ticket more appealing. Same old, same old.

I think those are the high points.

Ya know...I've recently set up a free Youtube channel of my very own, and was wondering if you subscribe to his channel, then it's handy and you can catch it at your leisure without having to fish through videos here, and try to catch it when you know you have. I know I'm not crazy about giving them more than 10 to 12 minutes, and then I kind of have to hope I've selected the better end.

5. Thanks for the assist --

the volume problem was mine, though have no idea how the settings got changed!

I try to listen to Hartmann daily -- most successful when I'm in car or listen on

internet -- 1600 am -- but a little confused about whether it is the same program

whether on radio or on TV? I don't "subscribe" to any channel or radio station.

Hartmann is a wise man, but as long as we continue to carry on with the sham that these

are some natural part of ups and downs of an "economy" I think the public will continue

to be confused. Our problem is capitalism -- it's suciidal -- and a scam.

Have to you seen the Catherin Austen Fitts videos? Think she is summing it up quite well

how contrived these "bubbles" and "crashes" are --


Thanks again -- best wishes --

2. These pieces are some of the more thorough bits of reporting in the video news section and...

...I am grateful for them being posted. I probably need to start watching this show if I can find it streaming or archived because he pulls no punches and I haven't heard anything out of his mouth that didn't make sense. Painful to hear but clearly spoken.

3. Always a cover story!

Thanx teach!

Is there no chance for models like Mondragon to preemptively counter the coming destitution? The middle of 2012 sounds too far away to just sit around and wait for while we continue to be diced, sliced, and spliced or sucked and squeezed bone dry?
