how come nobody mentioned overpopulation. Is it taboo?
Don (Joe bag O chickens) | April 20, 2009 at 6:41 am |

I do not believe that the planet is “over populated” I believe that the resources that are predominantly owned and controlled by the few are poorly managed, and technology and knowledge is with held from the many.
Corruption and the selling out of fellow man has been the protocol by which to make the many suffer at the hands of the few.

I agree with Don. Max agreed on this show that the problem isn’t production. People who think humans are viruses with shoes should off themselves. But it’s funny, those people always have children too. THEIR children aren’t viruses

This is another example of corrupt individuals who have no contact with there fellow Human Beings pulling shady deals and tricking people into believing that the corrupt few are the “good guys” with their round up ready seeds to feed the world.
The honest people take the bait and get royally screwed. Then the oligarchs pretend that the masses are bad, naive yes, but bad? I think not. Live outside of this elite’s protocol by not being selfish, corrupt or dis honest. Declare “I will not sell out other Humans for the sake of present or future ease”

Max .. you are SO right ( corrupt banking system ) !
Thankyou for keeping this theme alive.

Way to go Max. Not one inch, not even a millimeter, do not back down to these thieving corporate thugs.

Glad you liked it!

And there was the whole program out, good.
Nicely done in the interview, this is how your message will win credibility. “new” information and/or alternative information is more believable if it is presented properly. Thanks for doing that in this video.

Don, Matt: I strongly disagree, for the long run, or as the Chinese say the long march.

Corruption is important but there is no way the earth can support the population we have at any reasonable life style.

Read ‘Collapse’ by Jared Diamond. My well traveled friends say we in NA and EU live in a clean unpolluted bubble and have no clue how things in the rest of the world operate.

The analogy is when you put a pair of mice in a box of seed.

When the box is half mice and half seed that is when things get interesting. Lots of bad things happen, infanticide, bullies, cannibalism.

Humanity hasn’t been in balance with the environment for about a thousand years. Exponential growth is what the mice do until they don’t; we are no smarter than mice in this sense.

The psychomice, bush/madoff/monsanto, rise to the top for a while but then all collapses.

Diamonds point is that all societies that are not in balance with the environment collapse, his other major point is that we have no ‘racial’ memory to see back even one generation on how things were.

Another great interview.
Have the two of you ever thought of having Bob Chapman as a guest?
Ismael | April 20, 2009 at 12:27 pm |

Thank you Max (and Stacy) for this great interview and for standing up for the poor and forgotten people of the world. May God reward you.

Max is consistantly brilliant, but the conciseness and clarity of that interview combined with the comments from Vandana Shiva was really powerful. I really hope this idea of not waiting for politician’s decisions and being proactive takes root in India and other ‘king nations’ .

Max Keiser is superhero!

If you compressed the world population into
Texas, you still would be able to give every body
an acre land.
The population is decreasing in many nation.
Do not worry.

An expose on food crisis and yet no mention that 80 million more people join the world each year.

I stopped the video after 30 seconds. Clueless garbage.
FACE THE REAL CAUSE….OVERPOPULATION!
Thomas | April 21, 2009 at 6:50 am |

@anna

I came up with 39 people per acre
————————————————-
World Population = 6,770,000,000
Texas Area = 696,241 km²
9723 people per km²
1 square kilometer = 247 acres
39 people per acre
Don (Joe bag O chickens) | April 21, 2009 at 8:02 am |

Noone. on the grand scale large corporations have stolen all wealth, resources and grabbed up land at an alarming rate. Lobbied for the destruction of rain forest and stripped sustenance farmers of their chance at survival by introducing them and future generation to perpetual debt. All the while, education and technology have been reserved for those who can afford it. This selfish behavior is responcible for all wars, the destruction of culture and any subsiquent rise in population growth. Poverty and addiction have been thrown onto the masses like a yolk to an ox. I am sure that if they were told the truth they would have never taken the bait. Nonetheless, the planet has the potential to feed twice the current population. It is just not being done so because the greedy power tripping fools at the top are playing with the lives of billions like toy soldiers on a chess board.

With people like you around (although short in supply) we’ll never let the bastard’s grind us down.

1,500 Indian Farmers Commit Mass Suicide: Why We Are Complicit in these Deaths

“…Shankara, like millions of other Indian farmers, had been promised previously unheard of harvests and income if he switched from farming with traditional seeds to planting GM seeds instead.
Beguiled by the promise of future riches, he borrowed money in order to buy the GM seeds. But when the harvests failed, he was left with spiraling debts — and no income.
So Shankara became one of an estimated 125,000 farmers to take their own life as a result of the ruthless drive to use India as a testing ground for genetically modified crops.”
