Australian market plunges 5pc, dollar crashes
Australian shares closed down 5 per cent amidst global economic panic. The Australian share market plunged 5 per cent today, as the dollar hit a new five-year low. Fear of a global recession has seized markets, with big falls across the major indices overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 5 per cent and today the local All Ordinaries index fell by the same margin. It was down 228.1 points at 4369.8. After hitting a fresh three-year low, the ASX 200 closed 231 points lower at 4,388. CommSec's Savanth Sebastian says there are growing concerns about the ability of emerging economies to withstand the financial crisis. The fact that we saw the Indonesian market fall over 10 per cent and actually close trading for the day really had a significant impact on the rest of Asia," he said.

Bush Admin Faces Congressional Skeptics on $700B Wall St. Bailout
Both Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Banking Committee lambasted the Bush administration’s proposed $700 billion bailout plan Tuesday. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke repeatedly clashed with almost every senator on the committee, all of whom focused on Wall Street’s culpability for the crisis. Many also brought up executive pay and emphasized the need for oversight of the Treasury.
Naomi Klein: "Now Is the Time to Resist Wall Street's Shock Doctrine"
While the collapse of this country’s financial system continues to send shock waves around the world, we speak to the bestselling author of The Shock Doctrine.

No to Wall Street bailout! The plan, which is being rushed through Congress for passage this week, is the response of the government and the entire political establishment to what is acknowledged to be the greatest economic crisis since the Wall Street crash of 1929. It calls for an unprecedented transfer of public funds to the major banks and the American financial elite at the expense of the broad mass of the people.

Awkward questions about 9/11
We will discuss a documentary which is probably the most important film made so far on 9/11. It's called "Zero" and Russian television is showing it in prime time on the eve of this week's seventh anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington.
Zero: An Investigation Into 9-11 - part 1
Zero : An Investigation Into 9-11- part 5. More about the Pentagon attack and impossible flight patterns. ZERO: An Investigation into 9/11, has one central thesis - that the official version of the events surrounding the attacks on 9/11 can not be true. This brand new feature documentary from Italian production company Telemaco explores the latest scientific evidence and reveals dramatic new witness testimony, which directly conflicts with the US Government's account. Featuring presentations from intellectual heavy weights; Gore Vidal, and Noble Prize winner Dario Fo, the film challenges assumptions surrounding the attacks. In the words of the Italian daily newspaper, Il Corriere de da Sera, "What results is a sequence of contradictions, gaps, and omissions of stunning gravity." The importance of this film can not be overstated. If its thesis is correct, the justification for going to war in Iraq is built on a series of outrageous lies.
The official version of 9/11 questioned On the anniversary of 9/11, an Italian-produced documentary called ZERO, investigating the tragedy, is opening in Russia. The documentary has already sparked controversy and U.S. networks have rejected the film, as the authors believe that the official version of events surrounding the attacks can't be true.

About the Producer:
As a child, she had many arguments between her parents over her father's ring, inscribed with "G", a compass and square. At a later age, years of intensive research led her to the identity , history and plans of a power "so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocking, so complete, so pervasive" that even the known 'leaders' of the world are careful not to speak in "condemnation" of it.
