Mervyn King (Bank of England) und Charles Ferguson ("Inside Job") wundern sich

Wir leben wirklich in spannenden Zeiten, wenn der Chef einer westlichen Zentralbank sich öffentlich wundert, daß die Wut der Menschen gegenüber Bankern nicht größer ist und ein Mitglied aus Lebenszeit des CFR und Oscar-Preisträger vorschlägt, daß man die Hälfte des Topmanagements von US-Großbanken in den Knast stecken sollte.

Mervyn King (BoE):



Charles Ferguson (damals in Cannes, 2010):

"Where do you see things going? Do you think current regulatory bills will help?

Not much. They don’t address the core problems. However, I think there is an increasingly popular anger and revulsion at this situation, and that will translate into increased political pressure. I think there’s a strong case to be made that if you put half of the top management of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Bros, Merrill Lynch and Bear Sterns in prison, that you wouldn’t have to make much regulatory change, at all."

Oscar-Gewinner spricht Klartext

Interessante und brisante Aussagen des "Inside-Job"-Regisseurs Charles Ferguson bei Reuters.com:

"The biggest surprise to me personally and biggest disappointment was that nobody in the Obama administration would speak with me even off the record -- including people that I've known for many, many years," Ferguson said backstage.

He believes Americans, who lost homes and jobs in the millions because of shady mortgage lending and bank collapses, are disappointed that "nothing has been done."

"Unfortunately, I think that the reason is predominantly that the financial industry has become so politically powerful that it is able to inhibit the normal process of justice and law enforcement," said Ferguson."

Sollte das nicht in den Nachrichten kommen?

And the Oscar goes to...INSIDE JOB!

"Inside Job" ist die beste Dokumentation. Lifetime-CFR-Mitglied und Regisseur Charles Ferguson soll bei seiner Dankesrede folgendes gesagt haben:

„Drei Jahre nach dieser schrecklichen Finanzkrise, die durch massiven Betrug ausgelöst wurde, ist noch kein einziger der Manager im Gefängnis gelandet. Und das ist falsch.“

Damit dürften die Chancen steigen, daß er auch in Deutschland in die Kinos kommt:



Update:
Bei Naked Capitalism wundert man sich, daß die NY Times den Sieg in ihrem Oscar-Artikel nicht erwähnt:
"Update (by Yves) 3:00 AM: Curious, no mention of Inside Job in the New York Times’ story on the Oscars, when they did mention the foreign language film, makeup and best score recipients."

Update, ein Ausschnitt seiner Rede (? weiß nicht, ob er mehr gesagt hat):

"Inside Job"--The film Washington, Wall Street and the Fed don't want you to see | FINANCIAL SENSE

"Inside Job"--The film Washington, Wall Street and the Fed don't want you to see FINANCIAL SENSE

"This week on the Financial Sense Newshour, Jim Puplava is pleased to welcome Daniel Alpert to discuss the documentary film “Inside Job” that explores the credit crisis of 2008 and who was responsible. Dan is a founding Managing Partner of Westwood Capital, LLC and its affiliates. He has more than 30 years of international merchant banking and investment banking experience, including a wide variety of work-out and bankruptcy related restructuring experience. Dan was featured in the film and is part of a monthly economic group that includes “Inside Job” director Charles Ferguson."

Interessante Rezension(en) des Films "Inside Job", der hoffentlich bald in Deutschland in die Kinos kommt im englischen Guardian:

Sehr treffend finde ich dieses Zitat:


"Still, no matter how much it is explained, the general public is not going to understand. How does one go into battle yelling slogans about credit default swaps? The bankers know ignorance is their trump card. Maybe Inside Job will make us more savvy in time for the next crash."

Charles Ferguson, der Produzent und Regisseur des Films ist interessanterweise ein "Mitglied auf Lebenszeit" des CFR.
