Stacy Summary:  More unemployed Swiss bankers unable to leave their country for fear of the long arm of the American law.  And Lehman collapse proving to be a huge financial stimulus for some people, maybe if we let more banks fail we would see a jobs bonanza in the US & UK?

    =========
    The date of 15 APRIL is federal tax payment day in the USA. The US IRS is equal to “Inland Revenue” in the UK and NZ (aka Te Tari Taaki in Maori). It takes a non-American to explain this best, as not all American explanations are clear to non-Americans.

    It’s ‘Tea Party’ day in America

    Bernard Hickey explains to New Zealanders what the ‘tea parties’ in America today are all about.

    I see the idiot who opened the DNA pandora box is now having a <a href=”http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/apr/15/jeffreys-dna-database-human-rights-police”>tantrum</a>

    What did he expect. He knows how the British establishment use any tool available to hit the population with. Of course he could go back to his research – discover what some of the 94% junk DNA really is and release it to the general public – completely undermining any dna database – but he won’t do that.

    Dia dhuit mo chairde,
    “A tangled web, perhaps by design” Again Al Jazeera shows its credibilty. 

    Monsieur Max,

    Bill Black has gotta be your number one target for the new episodes of The Oracle. His PBS interview with Bill Moyers is everywhere on the net. Any updates on the new Oracle episodes?? I understand fianancing was an issue. Do a piratemytvshow with it!? i’d pay 2 bucks to watch it :)

    RE: Gold. Where are the oligarchs with the gold? wouldn’t they be lobbying against gold manipulation. If the manipulation stops, they become trillionaires overnight. I guess it underscores the power and control of Wall Street and they’re love for invisible money. Also, a question about physical gold? i was told the physical price never lies about the truth. The price of gold is dropping but the price of physical is still rising steadily. In my experience anyway. I guess the paper price of gold is different from the physical.

    Used your farmer suicide refs in this video ”When suicide becomes genocide’..  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF3fuCPze0I

    @Danny – maybe the oligarchs knows that gold is money? When someone asks about gold they never say that they have so and so much paper money in gold but rather so and so many kilos or tons of gold. If gold is money then why not do all you can to keep the price low so it won’t cost so much to buy more, for an oligarchy that must make more sense wouldn’t it? Gold stores value, paper doesn’t.
     
    And my country expanded its Continental Shelf outer border with about 235000squarekilometers today. That’s more than the whole landmass of Great Britain. Since we can’t compete with the Russians about the arctic zone then maybe this will help a bit, that is, if we can find more oil or gas below the surface there.

    @Palantíri

    you just gave me an “ohhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh” moment. 
    Maybe my question is how longer can the gold price be manipulated before it explodes. or will it explode? its been kept down for so long why can’t they just keep it down indefinately?? i suppose ’til the dollar and pound collapse. 18 months??

    I would pay $2 a show also. Lets pre-buy the oracle. That would be super awesome!

    The article about the farmers in India is horrific. Scale it up abit, replace loans with Mortgages and harvest with jobs and we have the Developed world.

    I guess the only difference here is that one is caused by nature and the other by man.

    Destruction doesn’t exist in nature only change. Destruction is a man made thing. The farmers are at the mercy of change and the developed world is at the mercy of the threat of destruction.

    Just a thought!

    re: the Carlyle story…

    You know whenever I read these accounts or listen Max and Stacy exposes such acts by Banksters, I am reminded of what a overall scam most of investing is.

    If not for Inflation, how many average people would care about most investments? Back in the day we used savings accounts to earn a little coin on our $$.

    Most understand you increase your wealth thru WORK. You better yourself, start a business, develop an idea..This whole buzz with investing-making money is a scam, an attempt to correct the fact these same people have debased our money and now are trying to sell us solutions to a problem (fiat currency), they largely create(d).

    It comes as little surprise once you are honest about all this, that these people are as crooked as the day is long. Just about all of the Banking-Investment community is about maintenance of a Scam. These people are bloodsuckers living off the blood of creators, innovators, workers and retirees.

    Question about tax havens.  Anyone know the best place to set up a shell for a business dealing exclusively in international commodity trading?  I am bringing product out of Brazil but their tax laws are not much better than the US.  Thanks for the help!

    What happened to my Saturday fix of Max and Stacy? Are you hiatus? Or just busy setting up new programming maybe? Well, you have been missed….

    Just a thought.

    Perhaps China’s increased purchases of Copper and other commodities might also be viewed in part as indirect investments in energy. (The energy required to produce these commodities)

    Should relative energy prices (adjusting for fiat valuation changes) climb back up due to lack of investment in exploration, drilling, infrastructure, peak oil etc, then offering inexpensive commodity feedstock to their industrial base could help offset the need to subsidize oil and coal. They could in effect be subsidizing their energy needs of tomorrow with their trade surpluses/savings today.

    If a global system of paying for greenhouse gas emissions were to take hold, buying energy intensive commodities beforehand could also be a way of avoiding costs related to such a scheme.
