    Raquel , Max and Tony are spot on … the big banking oligarthies and corporatization.
    .. am wishing Raquel’s movement great success.

    Check out “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” – John Perkins
    Check out “The Creature from Jekyll Island” – Edward G. Griffin

    The US FED along with the IMF and WB has managed to destroy a financial system that was anyway destined to die eventually.
    It just happened faster because the “regulation” of WS BigMoney players simply never happened…. thanks to them buying the politicians , lock stock and barrel.

    Ex-Chancelloer (German) Schroeder now works for a Gazprom subsidiary.
    Tony Blair now works for JP Morgan.

    Have these people no shame ?

    Great interview. Strange why these kind of programs are not on mainstream media (at least not in Belgium)

    Keep up the good work

    maybe the anti-terrorism laws were created on purpose for when they planned on stealing everything, since that had been planned too.
    very cool that garrido spoke out about Chinese slave labor. when will people understand that they are screwing themselves over when the buy Chinese goods?
    that griffith guy is some tool. it has to be “adjusted.” i imagine that means even more control over a system that was already rigged.

    Max achieves the perfect balance between stridency and and rationality in his rant.  This is the very stuff of revolution.

    Dear Max, come over to the UK we need your HELP.

    Everybody listening to this should also listen to Jacque Fresco.http://thevenusproject.com beyond politics, poverty& war.
    Open up your minds to what he suggests. A totally new way, for example watch his video on “The Monetary System Vs Abundance”
    Thank you Max Keiser for the excellent job you do. It is so refreshing to find someone who at last is not afraid to speak out with the truth. I just hope that more and more people will wake up and listen before it is too late.

    Isn’t it interesting how you don’t see jack-shit about any of these things on American Corporate Fuckers TV? The American sheeple need to be educated on revolution.  Imagine that: Americans need an education on how to revolt. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

    Be careful what you wish for. Past ‘revolutions’ have been disasters (unless you like guillotines, gulags and famine). A ‘revolution’ in the US would likely result in a fascist police state, not that we’re not already half-way there.

    I thought the old guy expressed true wisdom when he reminded the moderator, who kept using the term “violence”; that the real violence is stealing people wealth,

    not smashing a few windows…

    That was great.

    And of course Max landed bombs everytime he took the mic.

    You don’t believe any of that socialist garbage do you max?

    I was extremely disappointed that you did not point out that this is not a failure of capitalism (which works quite well) but of government interference in the system.

    A federal reserve artificially manipulating interest rates, working arm and arm with government, and a revolving door between goldman sacs and government/tresury is the problem.

    We need a return to constitutional levels of government power. Not socialist retardation.

    Speak up, you know better.

    Dan, Dan, Dan . . . . there you go again.   Are we looking at socialism?  No, not hardly!  Feudalism? Yes.  Fascism? Yes.  Capitalism, with its penchant for excess and grotesque, was destined to morph into corporatism  on a global scale, and we are all now faced with supernationalfascists and the ascension of a New World Order.

    Rico might be useful against the ratings agencies, the  banks and mortgage brokers, but Paulson did even worse:

    I want to hear the private phone calls between Paulson, Bernanke, Geithner, and the banks. I would bet that they all said “we’re in deep shit so we have to cover it up or the dollar will die.”

    This is now clearly an attempt to smooth over accounting fraud using public money, a serious offense.

    Yeah yeah, Everyone has equal right to buy Phillip Morris Intl. stock that pays a 6%  dividend. But saving money aint cool, you dont get laid by saving money. The population is just as stupid as the government, they were too stupid to save when times were good.  The only people that are truly screwed are the honest capitalists. What do we do ? buy gold that is supressed by the assholes ?

    In my opinion Max needs to change his tone to promote HONEST CAPITALISM.

    As the deterioration of the lives of millions of ordinary Americans accelerates, a tipping point will be reached. It may take unspeakable suffering before the complacent American populace gets up off the couch and turns off the TV, but it will happen.
    We are living in historic times. God only knows where this will all wind up.

    “There is no longer, on the one hand, an economy, and, on the other hand, a political order containing a military establishment unimportant to politics and to money-making. There is a political economy linked, in a thousand ways, with military institutions and decisions… there is an ever-increasing interlocking of economic, military, and political structures. If there is government intervention in the corporate economy, so is there corporate intervention in the governmental process. In the structural sense, this triangle of power is the source of the interlocking directorate that is most important for the historical structure of the present. The fact of the interlocking is clearly revealed at each of the points of crisis of modern capitalist society: slump, war, and boom… given the scope of their consequences, decisions-and indecisions-in any one of these ramify into the others, and hence top decisions tend either to become coordinated or to lead to a commanding indecision. It has not always been like this. When numerous small entrepreneurs made up the economy, for example, many of them could fail and the consequences still remain local; political and military authorities did not intervene. But now, given political expectations and military commitments, can they afford to allow key units of the private corporate economy to break down in slump? Increasingly, they do intervene in economic affairs, and as they do so, the controlling decisions in each order are inspected by agents of the other two, and economic, military, and political structures are interlocked. At the pinnacle of each of the three enlarged and centralized domains, there have arisen those higher circles which make up the economic, the political, and the military elites. At the top of the economy, among the corporate rich, there are the chief executives; at the top of the political order, the members of the political directorate; at the top of the military establishment, the elite of soldier-statesmen clustered in and around the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the upper echelon. As each of these domains has coincided with the others, as decisions tend to become total in their consequence, the leading men in each of the three domains of power-the warlords, the corporation chieftains, the political directorate-tend to come together, to form the power elite of America.”

    –Charles Wright Mills, The Power Elite (1956)

    Raquel’s comment about the basic values of the republic are in my opinion what we need to focus on.
    it’s time to leave right/left categorizations and name calling etc. behind us (which only serve to divide and conquer) and focus on basic human rights,  political decision making and representation, or we will end up controlled by an elite which reigns through a centralized government.

    The financial net worth of  the post war boomer generations transferred almost painlessly into the bankers pockets.The masses-blind and dumb as ever.
    Thanks for courageously exposing  the mechanics of this theft Max.

    Keyword:  Bossnappings

    I like the sound of this new word for me at least. Bosssleeping sounds peaceful.

    Keyword: RECO & TULPMANIA rectification of unrighteous, “unbalanced” money streams. Make whole and start over.

    I like to add that the answer on 1984 is 1776 but the answer on 2009 is The 1638 Tulpmania Solution.

    “au gauche” – to the left or in my idea Classic Liberalism which today would be a sort of  Socialistic Liberalism but using Capitalistic models in area’s where prudent.

    But monopolization is still going on in less but far bigger companies even on social and military important important goods like water food and energy supply.

    “There is another way of being human than working for free.” Classic. That’s part of where the global corporate crime model wants to take us. A toxic global labor prison.

    Damn Max, I’m with you in most respects but the last thing the world needs is ravaging hordes of infurated workers (of whom I’m one) storming the streets and taking matters into their own hands.
    We’ve seen this throughout history and I don’t think you can say that is has served humaity well. We need a quiet revolution; both peaceful and methodical.

    I do very much enjoy this side of Max Keiser as shown in the interview. I also love when programs allow old men like Tony Benn to speak. Life experience and the wisdom that comes with that is something we should acknowledge (and use) more. Reminds me of the cartoon strip non sequitur by Wiley: http://www.gocomics.com/feature_items/explore?page=2&tag=239

    Comme d’habitude vous avez dit a quoi je pensais.  Merci de me donné un sourire.  M et S, continue la bagarre (chicane) long que possible.  J’espere l’été va passe sans revolution mais malheureusement il a l’air que à ce moment, c’est inevitable.  Bonne chances à tous.  Nous aurons le besoin.
