PirateMyfilm: New Project – Addis Abeba (ADDIS)

July 31st, 2010 by maxkeiser
Respond

PMF Fund initiates coverage of this new project (no. 167) with a C+ with a positive outlook. Could be a winner. It’s a small budget, just $500 – so I would anticipate share reservations will be scooped up fast.

Wildfires, rising debt, debunking productivity & GDP

July 31st, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary:  I thought Russia was supposed to be the big beneficiary of global warming?  The last two articles really go hand in hand in demonstrating the dangers of command and control, corrupt government statistics meant to trick the bond market and make the consumer (formerly known as citizen) feel better about shopping.   And note that the US is the only developed nation to hedonically adjust their GDP numbers and yet over and over analysts and also the citizens of the US believe that because their GDP numbers, as stated, are higher than the rest of the world, they are the BEST!

Neoconservative Jibber Jabber

July 30th, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary: This book sounds interesting, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, of course, gives these guys so much air time to indoctrinate Americans into their quasi fascist cult. Here’s one source of info on who’s who in neoconservatism. Here is Ron Paul’s speech, “Neo-Conned”. I can think of no other group in the world that has done so much to destroy America as the neoconservatives. Their members are the primary architects of the wars currently bankrupting the nation (not to mention, murdering tens of thousands around the world) and of the legal and cultural arguments for ridding Americans of most of the Constitutional rights on which the nation was founded. And it is because of this fascist movement that the whole left / right, Red State / Blue State exists as the orchestrated Straussian sideshow it is. Prior to the neocons becoming the Republican party, there was at least a more genuine liberal / conservative choice and debate. Now you just have Big Government Dems and the even Bigger Government Republicans.

Wheat Rises to 14 Month High on Record Heat in Russia & Excessive Rain in Canada

July 30th, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary:    You can’t defraud nature.  We can try to throw all the fractional reserve, fiat trickery at it, but the true cost will always be charged.  Wheat prices rise to 14 month high as 32 pc of Russian cropland devastated by record high temperatures & Canadian crops damaged by ‘excessive rain.’

Max Keiser on HuffPost: France’s Existential Debt Crisis

July 30th, 2010 by maxkeiser
Respond

As long as interest rates stay near zero the debt expansion cycle — masked as asset sales — will continue to grow and the interest costs associated with these debts will continue to make up a greater percentage of GDP. Naturally, the government’s plan to pay the additional interest cost is to borrow more money.

Pre-Crime, Future Crime [Updated]

July 30th, 2010 by stacyherbert
Respond

Stacy Summary:  Convergence of global police state following the sci-fi script to the word.  Re: the second story, I included quotes that support my hypothesis that the intelligence services are looking for crowd-sourced analysis.

Choice quotes.

First this one that could have come from Sumner “We’re not going to kill him” Redstone:

This appears to be the first time, however, that the intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA

And this:


America’s spy services have become increasingly interested in mining “open source intelligence” — information that’s publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.

“Secret information isn’t always the brass ring in our profession,” then CIA-director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. “In fact, there’s a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open.”

**Update**

And if you can’t even prove you don’t owe zero cents, how can you prove you weren’t going to commit that crime they ‘predict’ you were going to commit? Comcast threatens to cut off service unless customer pays the $0.00 he owes

**Update 2**

**Update 3**

untimely death of (another) Resonance104.4fm contributor

July 30th, 2010 by maxkeiser
Respond

Dear all,
It is with dismay that we pass on the news of the death of Resonance104.4fm contributor Simon Bannister. As “The Pooh Lord” he made the highly idiosyncratic song cycle “Cyber Chutney Arse Duck” for us a few years back. A talented guitarist and poet with a wild sense of humour and finely honed skills as an arranger and producer, he seemingly took his own life.

Our condolences to his family and friends.

A repeat of one of his shows went out this morning and I imagine we’ll run the whole series some time over the summer as a testament to his singular artistry.

Yours
Ed
