Inside Job, Oscar-Winning Documentary, Now Online (Free)

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
Free to Watch online at Open Culture.


In late February, Charles Ferguson’s film – Inside Job – won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. And now the film documenting the causes of the 2008 global financial meltdown has made its way online (thanks to the Internet Archive). A corrupt financial industry, its corrosive relationship with politicians, academics and regulators, and the trillions of damage done, it all gets documented in this film that runs a little shy of 2 hours.


Inside Job  can be purchased on DVD at Amazon or watched free below or at Open Culture. We all love free, but let’s remember that good projects cost real money to develop, and they could use real financial support. So please consider buying a copy.


Hopefully watching or buying this film won’t be a pointless act, even though it can rightly feel that way. As Charles Ferguson reminded us during his Oscar acceptance speech, we are three years beyond the Wall Street crisis and taxpayers (you) got fleeced for billions. But still not one Wall Street exec is facing criminal charges. Welcome to your plutocracy…

Chomsky: US-led Afghan war, criminal

PressTv

Renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky says US invasion of Afghanistan was illegal since to date there is no evidence that al-Qaeda has carried out the 9/11 attacks.


"The explicit and declared motive of the [Afghanistan] war was to compel the Taliban to turn over to the United States, the people who they accused of having been involved in World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist acts. The Taliban…they requested evidence…and the Bush administration refused to provide any," the 81-year-old senior academic made the remarks on Press TV's program a Simple Question. 

"We later discovered one of the reasons why they did not bring evidence: they did not have any." 

The political analyst also said that nonexistence of such evidence was confirmed by FBI eight months later. 

"The head of FBI, after the most intense international investigation in history, informed the press that the FBI believed that the plot may have been hatched in Afghanistan, but was probably implemented in the United Arab Emirates and Germany." 

Chomsky added that three weeks into the war, "a British officer announced that the US and Britain would continue bombing, until the people of Afghanistan overthrew the Taliban... That was later turned into the official justification for the war." 

"All of this was totally illegal. It was more, criminal," Chomsky said. 

The 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan was launched with the official objective of curbing militancy and bringing peace and stability to the country. 

Nine years on, however, the American and Afghan officials admit that the country remains unstable and civilians continue to pay the heaviest price.
