Stacy Summary: Another day, another headline outlining the devastating consequences of monopoly and monoculture. First the ‘too big to fail’ banks wiped out the financial system, now the identikit towns across the UK (and US no doubt) are threatening the spread of ‘ghost towns.’

Thank you Mr. Supergeek.
I’d feel a little smarter if I had managed to switch bold off.
I got Max’s nsfw comment on my website. The voodoo doll trick works every time. Max (and Stacy) will be happy to know that I’ve given his voodoo doll likeness a Thai massage, so he should be good to go. Keep up the great work you two. I love the tweetcasts by the way.
Have fun and peace,

Hi Daniel S.
Great stuff…When I grow up I want to write like you.
Right now I make a meagre living staging insect fights. For a Yakuza betting syndicate.
I was working on a pit bull – killer bee cross but having read your post I’m worried about the devastation they could cause if any of them escaped.
Now I’m thinking cockroach/pit bull is the way to go as they don’t need food and could thrive off pesticides.
You know I haven’t been this confused/devastated since my flea circus caught AIDS (damn those slutty mosquitoes)
Anyway going back to read your post, Keep up the good work.
Frank Hope
i left a comment on your site.
“Germany bans GM corn”
First thought that came to mind?
Someone had better tell the bees.
We’ve got a national park lake in Canada that is fed by “pristine” glacier water. But someone forgot to tell the wind to stop blowing in DDT and other poisons that are still being used in China. Sure enough, they’ve been detected in the fish. Wouldn’t it be a lot simpler if nature would just recognize political boundaries? Tut tut nature. We’re disappointed in you.
Monsanto needs to be sued to death for genetic contamination of heirloom or just plain old non-poison generating crops. Then it needs to be kicked so hard when it’s down that nobody else even considers trying to hijack the global food supply and hold it for ransom. They don’t have the right to allow their franken-pollen to trespass upon and contaminate non-participant farmers’ crops such that poisons are produced in them next season.
You can’t wash off pesticides that are IN the food. Nor can you remove the franken-genes once they’re out of bounds and in the broader gene pool. Monsanto’s practices are nothing short of uncontrolled biological warfare against our food supply and ecosystems. In other words. Monsanto is at war with us. Unless of course you don’t need to eat. In which case you’re safely on the sidelines. Until that is, ecosystems and subsystems fail so miserably from genetic pollution and other stresses, that microorganisms run amuck and take over the biological wasteland left over. In that case you’ll need to stop needing to drink and breath as well. Rocks. Rocks are pretty safe.
What have we done so far? We’ve written letters to politicians asking for the right to know if poisonous/experimental food is in a box of cereal. Or in Germany’s case, we ban a crop.
In the meantime.
ATTENTION ALL BEES!
Don’t bee spreading pollen from Frankenstein corn to German corn crops! Germany? It’s the country with absurdly neat lawns and clean cars.
Thank you, we know you’re busy.
@Chris – The carry trade article says GS is recommending the carry trade to its clients. Nuff said.
@wolfgang – I love Keen. I saw his site when he called Max something like a curmudgeon or something similar. He’s good. I should start linking to his stuff more here.
@Thomas – the £ has crashed! If you travel much between UK and EU you would have been VERY aware of it. London is still overpriced (relative to Paris), however, so I think it still has further to fall. My guess is that over the course of the next year or two as investors realise that there is no more North Sea oil and UK has to import more and more and once they also realise that the tumbleweeds are blowing through the ghost town, Mayfair, as the money launderers and oligarchs have fled for greener, safer pastures . . . then maybe the next leg down will begin.
If you listen to the BlackRock analyst, you can hear the myopia that’s running rampant through the bankster elite… I just don’t think they’re getting it. They keep talking about repairing their balance sheets and putting a floor under markets… they’re not thinking in terms of fundamental structural changes to the economic order. This is one of the crucial perceptual differences between insiders and outsiders. This is to me indicative of the the mindset that the markets still have not seen a fundamental capitulation event…
“The credit markets are healing…” that’s my favorite line yet. Only 700 trillion to go!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee…….

You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder. He sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option for one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. Then the public buys your bull.

In yet another pitiful attempt to get Max and Stacy to respond to one of my comments and perhaps visit my blog, I shamelessly pitched Max’s show “The Oracle” on my fabulously famous website “Future News Today” in an article titled “Max Geiser: Goldman Sachs, AIG and dark matter“. I promise that if I get a comment response either here or on my website that I won’t make any further use of that Max Keiser voodoo doll I purchased from a local gypsy. Yea and I hope your back’s feeling better Max. I’d hate to have to make use of the doll again – bwa-ha-ha.
On the topic of iceland…
I heard a story on the radio lastnight about iceland’s future as a server farm and i remember max talked about it a while back and i was wondering if they followed through with the idea.

Rut roh. The neo-cons are upset about a new Homeland Security report that warns of growing “right-wing extremism” in the US:

How could their beloved Homeland Security turn on them in such a way?!

An interesting article:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6087833.ece
Sir David Attenborough said yesterday that the growth in global population was frightening, as he became a patron of an organisation that campaigns to limit the number of people in the world.
Mr. Obama heads to Europe now where official hostility is rising against the Anglo-American method of pounding monetary sand down the rat-holes of “non-performing” debt, bankrupt enterprise, and bubble-levitated bonds. Our poised and charming Prez may escape personal obloquy from the quaint old-world street folk, but most of the other G-20 policy playerz take a dim view of the shell-and-pea games being played by the custodians of the world’s reserve currency, including front-end-loader bank bail-outs, the shuffling of worthless securities under TARPS and TARFS, the desperate efforts to prevent the sane re-pricing of real estate, the cannibalizing of treasuries by the Federal Reserve, the now-notorious hijacking of public “liquidity” injections by third parties like Goldman Sachs, and most generally the perceived sacrifice of everybody else’s greater good for the sake of maintaining Lloyd Blankfein’s cappuccino machine.

Stop the doom and gloom people. Everything is just fine and a rebound is just around the corner!
Just too bad we are in a loop now. A nice round one, spiraling down. The only bumps up are from the banksters spending their ill gained loot.

This is what blew up Iceland’s economy, as reported by Max’s Film money geyser
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjglR2KYz5o
Any predictions on which country will be blown up this time?
I think we are at the beginnings of a suckers ‘bull trap’ whereby the naking sectors recovery (by sucking more taxpayers blood) will get the bulls in stocks, real estate, and everything else nearly pumping up the great recovery. The media will push this hard and suckers will go back into these markets. The illusion will burst but maybe not for a while until we get hyperstagflation really kicking in. The banks are ‘recovering’ while industrials are still in the bottom of the trough. Seems we will get the final bubble needed to get the majority of nation states in the world so indebt to the globalist IMF/World Bank aparatus that when the ‘pop’ comes it will be a dominoe of nation states unable to service their debt and submitting the clutches of the New World Order.
Also readers interested in researching the anglo-american power structure might want to look at this diagram for some names to google:
