I will post a video at this point just to remind people what the thread is about.

!

The keiser reports just get better and better.
Now if only that was on the news instead of anything else, every day in front of millions of people until they finally 'get it'.

Good guest too! In fact I would only fault the guy in the last few seconds when he suggests buying gold/silver because this shitstorm thats coming is not going to be pretty. Mark is right, its not 'conspiracy theory' anymore, its in your face REAL.

I've heard him say this before quite a while ago about how they've hung their hat on redundant academic theories that have no basis in reality, and after hearing him say that, I've observed these people since then, and they are suffering from a kind of mania, as in the Krugman alien invasion clip which I've posted before:



If you actually look at the comments section on Youtube for the Krugman video, at the very top, you will see someone called "time903" doing precisely what Keiser describes in the video.

A very good episode yesterday:

A short clip of Max from 1987 before he was 'famous':

An unmissable episode IMHO:

A lot of UK-related content in this episode:

I watched the Keiser Report today, and ironically in the second half several of the subjects that I talked about in my programme were discussed. In the first half the $67 trillion 'shadow' banking system was discussed.

Patenting life, putting a $ tag on f*cking EVERYTHING.
This is where we are at now and people still support the monetary system....

fuck me I thought truthers said watching tv was bad for you?

Seems like you've got a bit of a man crush on Max Keiser ™.

All TV?
Fox news is bad for you alright, I'd hardly say max keiser is...unless you somehow think he's a RWA christian fundie who sells berkeley filters?

No he's a libertarian hype man and anti establishment posterboy to be taken with a pinch of salt.
I like Stacy Herbert though, she at least tries to stay on topic.

Notice there was no A there so don't go Off topic

Mike wrote:
He is for the most part right wing libertarian and admits as much.
However he does bring up some intelligent debate on topics that most typical right wing libertarians would not- such as patent law in the above vid, not to mention how humans managed to grow food amazingly enough without money once upon a time.

Not something you will hear coming from the likes of Ron Paul or for that matter the high court judge mentioned.

Even though Stefan Molyneux irritates the hell out of me with his anarcho-capitalist rants he does now and then bring up some pertinent points about statism and nature vs nurture which are well worth paying attention too (in fact his nature vs nurture explanation that he gives himself debunks his AC outlook which is all the more amusing but I digress..)

And yes Stacey is lovely.

I'm all for abandoning money altogether and thats a right wing value is it?
And wasn't it jesus who threw the money changes out of the temple?
And wasn't it jesus who said 'Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's' ?

In other words...if you're pissed off with the money then why do you continue to partake in it?
You see, mutual slavery, the humans keep each other in line. Much like you keep trying to do on this forum
