Yes, we need a new Pecora Commission. The LaRouche movement has been fighting for that for several years, and has also spawned the fight to revive Glass Steagall, the banking separation law that resulted from the Pecora Commission hearings, which was repealed in 1999.
Obama promised the Democrats who sponsored and cosponsored the bill to restore Glass Steagall (currently HR 129)that he would repeal it if passed-HE-OBAMA-is a Wall Street/London puppet-so the problem is in BOTH parties, and the only hope is the people. LaRouche was slandered and persecuted by the Banksters so that YOU, the American people, would not listen to him, and now we are in the mess he forecast. He is the FDR of the day, but the Banksters and their London Oligarch masters who fear him, as they feared FDR, stopped at nothing to prevent him from being President. You, the American people rejected him because you believed all the terrible things that were said of him, and you didn’t bother to investigate. That’s why we’re in this mess-because most Americans go along to get along, and believe what they’re told, rather than using their minds to discover the truth.
Turn off your TVs and turn on you mind, so we can save the nation!

Great article. You can’t find Pecora’s book for under $1,000 these days. Why no reprint? Why no ebook? Have rights been purchased by the banksters? I wouldn’t doubt it.

Those complaining Obama, Holder & Congress are too timid in the current Depression reprise fail to grasp that FDR had huge majorities in both houses of congress.

Without such majorities, it’s impossible to tackle forces as strong as the banksters in our society. Why don’t people get that? It’s a democracy, not a dictatorship.

So the people to be blamed for the lack of a more forceful response is: YOU AND ME. We are the ones who elect the congress. We are the ones who need to get off of our butts and provide the kind of majorities Obama needs to take stronger action.

I shudder to think what will happen if we don’t take both houses strongly this time coming up. If we don’t restore Glass-Steagall, it’s only a matter of a few more years before we go through this same hell all over again. And then, shame on us!

Those people I spoke about are YOU and ME.

What will become of every hard working American who worked hard their whole lives putting away what they could with the expectation that they would be able to retire. Those people may have to work until they are too old and too sick. Those people will always have to worry about putting food on their tables and paying their bills. Those people will worry about having the necessities of life while the banksters are sunning themselves, enjoying their lavish lives obtained through playing with other people’s money, speculating on stock and ripping off account holders who played by the rules. This wonderful country of ours is an illusion. The U.S.A. is no longer the home of the free.

Champions of “nonimigration” policies should take heed–it was a first generation immigrant who brought Wall Street to account.

If Obama truly wants to be re-elected he should do what Roosevelt did…either appoint a special prosecutor or tell Holder to get off his butt and indite the bankers. Hearings also would be great!

It’s obvious. Hollywood can’t get financing for this project. The banks don’t want people to get the idea that another commission could be created.

We would like to have a Pecora among us today again. We badly need one.

I’ve often said lately, “where’s an FDR now that we really need one?” Now I’ll amend that to “where’s a Ferdinand Pecora now that we really need one?” Thank you for this article.

It seems that his prophecy came true! It would seem that every public official and/or congress person who recommended and participated in the bank “bailout” bears a measure of direct responsibility for the debacle of that scheme. “They knew, or should have known” the prior record.
