After a preview screening last week (at which I did a Q&A session with Michael), he came over to my home for a late night bite. Over lasagna, he told me about an incident that occurred while he was filming that exemplifies how the economic crisis cannot be looked at through a left vs right prism.

It happened while he and his crew were shooting the climax of the movie, where Michael decides to mark Wall Street as a crime scene, putting up yellow police tape around some of the financial district's towers of power.

While unfurling the tape in front of a "too big to fail" bank, he became aware of a group of New York's finest approaching him. Moore has a long history of dealing with policemen and security guards trying to shut him down, but in this case he knew he was, however temporarily, defacing private property. And his shooting schedule didn't leave room for a detour to the local jail. So, as the lead officer came closer, Moore tried to deflect him, saying: "Just doing a little comedy here, officer. I'll be gone in a minute, and will clean up before I go."

The officer looked at him for a moment, then leaned in: "Take all the time you need." He nodded to the bank and said, "These guys wiped out a lot of our Police Pension Funds." The officer turned and slowly headed back to his squad car. Moore wanted to put the moment in his film, but realized it could cost the cop his job, and decided to leave it out. "When they've lost the police," he told me, "you know they're in trouble."

Psst ... Michael ... ever hear of the National Guard?

The national guard will indeed murder American citizens at the order to shoot. Thats part of their job.

Though they mostly save lives and help idiots out of trouble on a routine basis. They will indeed shoot to kill at command.

There were many other coal miners killed by the guard because they dared stand up to the mine owners so they wouldn't be killed on the job.

They don't have to be grisled miners. Sometimes its just kids.

... their orders there's always Blackwater.

There's an immense private army that's used to making 100K+/yr for doing what needs to be done and they sure don't care what that is.

And one of the biggest private armys is owned by one of the leading inventors/sellers of securitized mortgages.

Just gets better, the closer you look, don't it?

Funny you should mention that.
