  • I suppose the italians know a thing or three about corruption. What is it they say ‘never con a conner’

  • Hm, could the swine flu be genetically engineered?

    I can see this being true in the light of current events.

  • Wikipedia is correct where the US and UK news bytes are not — she did not arise from nowhere :

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Boyle

    Early singing
    Boyle took singing lessons from voice coach Fred O’Neil.[16] She attended Edinburgh Acting School, and also took part in the Edinburgh Fringe.[5] The earliest known footage of Boyle’s talents comes from her parents’ golden wedding party, where at 25 she sang “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.[22] In 1995, she sang the same song in an audition for Michael Barrymore‘s My Kind of People,[5] which was looking for contestants at the Olympia Shopping Centre in Glasgow. She said she was too nervous to make a good impression,[13] but according to an amateur video, Barrymore was apparently more interested in mocking her.[23]
    In 1999 she recorded “Cry Me a River” for a charity CD funded by the local council to commemorate the Millennium.[1][24] The CD, entitled Music for a Millennium Celebration, Sounds of West Lothian, was produced at a school in Whitburn, West Lothian; only 1,000 copies were pressed.[25] This recording was released onto the web in the week after 11 April 2009, and gained immediate acclaim, with the New York Post writing that this showed that Boyle was not a “one trick pony” and predicted the original compilation would be a valuable collector’s item.[26] Hello! magazine stated that the recording “cement[ed] her status” as a singing star.[27]
    In 1999, Boyle used “all her savings” to pay for a professionally cut demo tape, which she later sent to record companies, radio talent competitions, local and national TV and which has now been released on the Internet. It consisted of “Cry Me a River” and her version of “Killing Me Softly with His Song“. Boyle gave away a few copies to her close friends.[28]
    Her mother had always encouraged her to enter local singing competitions, which she won several times, and tried to persuade her daughter to enter Britain’s Got Talent, urging her to take the risk of singing in front of an audience larger than her parish church.[7] Former coach O’Neil has said Boyle abandoned an audition for The X Factor (UK) because she believed people were being chosen for their looks, and that she almost abandoned her plan to enter Britain’s Got Talent. O’Neil told The Scotsman he persuaded her to go to the audition despite her telling him “…she was too old and that it was a young person’s game”.[29] Boyle said that it was her mother’s death which motivated her to go on Britain’s Got Talent and seek a musical career as her way of paying a tribute to her mother.[16] Her performance on the show was the first time she had sung in public since then.[30][31]


  • I have heard quotes that between 10k to 35k die every year in Mexico from Flu. If one uses 25k, that is 68 deaths a day.

    Unless the Swine Flu deaths are on top of the normal number, how is this any sort of pandemic?

  • A three way pathogen.
    How convenient!
    Sounds a little fabricated.   Prepare yourself for more craziness.

  • Beware of Monsantoed pork

  • Perhaps you can help me with a question about the gold market..Even with the assumption of short selling I still don’t understand the behaviour. I made a video of it..
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcgteqJhdYA

    I don’t understand why if the market continues after a drop it does not rapidly move back to the old price level, isn’t there always a line of people waiting to buy, shouldn’t there be an upwards correction spike?

  • …another reason to be vegetarian.

    @ah.Nix – new flu variants develop by genetic recombination between different types in host species. The “Spanish flu” is believed to have developed from a cross between pig and avian flu viruses in cramped war conditions… much like the conditions reported here.

  • @Stacy and Max,

    What happened to your tweet casts?  I kind of liked them the best. Too busy?  

  • With regards to the Swine Flu…. here’s an interesting story about how the scare may be used to increase Pork.

    http://infowars.net/articles/april2009/280409Paul.htm

  • I agree.  The Tweed casts, which I caught on YouTube, were indeed my favorite. 

  • Ron Pauls right you know. The tubercolosis is a bigger threat, yet this shit (swine flu) is hitting media like its the new plague or something.

    Max, give me food! GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR MY MIND!

  • In the United States, about 35,000 people die each year from the common flu.  About 40+% of the deaths are from A:H1N1 which is the same group as this “swine flu”.  Genetic engineering is possible but unlikely.  Transmission from manure pits is very unlikely.  The pigs got the flu in 1918 from people during the great influenza outbreak.

  • Whole sytem based on volume trade not on quality investment cause the money is made in the transfer fees and not with the risk underlying assets. So, the money goes around like a hot potatoe with everybody taking a little bite before repack, rename AAA and resell . A bank doesn’t use the word “negative rate” they just charge you more administration cost.

    A bank doesn’t tell you that their computer banking system sucks and has been hacked repeatetly they just insure it. A shipping compagny ain’t gonna tell you that the’ve at least been pirated for the last 30 years cause they just wonna keep their insurance. A Fund doesn’t tell you that your first two years of payment are going directly into the brokers pocket as administration/dealing cost and only from the third year some capital is built up

    This last one is from my own practice in some live insurance business when the combination liveinsurance with risktaking investment funds became hip.

    btw: Lucky Little mtf this 4 year ol. He now is the single only person on the whole Globe who can go asleep assured that he won’t catch this Rumswinerei Flu a second time, Lucky Edgar.

  • Mike Ruppert and Wayne Madson article from 2003 on biowarfare/SARS etc. How prophetic.
    http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/050903_SARS.html

  • @ewjohnson But it’s a delicate Virus to say at the least this new flu strain is a genetic mix:

    4 Types: 1X Avian 1X Human and 2X Swine viruses one European and one Asian.

    “The new flu virus contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses.”

    This Info from Reuters seems accurate cause I got a second conformation on this key info from a Dutch Virologist seen on the Telli.

    “Current vaccines will not stop swine flu: experts”

    “Making a flu vaccine can take months”

    Maybe nap the little lucky Edgar and drain him for some vaccine. Would be logical. N’est ce pas?

  • “Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).”

    Really are disgusting operations. I live in Wyoming out here in these wide open spaces there is no such thing, but driving to Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma and other states one can smell these atrocious operations miles before driving up on one. Poor conditions for the animals, environmental contamination to any local water sources and soil contamination as well.

    Can you imagine how much growth hormone filters back into the ecological system. One day the field mice will be the size of an old VW “Bugs”.

  • I hate to say it, but it’s become obvious that

    Bankers are swine
    Swine have infected the world with flu
    Flu is evil
    Therefore bankers are evil swine.

    =Yes=

  • The Swine’s flu.

    How could they announce just the other day that a vaccine exist for this never before seen flu strain?

  • Max or Stacey,
    You must absolutely see this C-span interview of Janet Tavakoli.  She says much of the same things as Max Keiser, but oh so nicely.

    http://www.tavakolistructuredfinance.com/CSPAN.html

    Summary: “Brian Lamb, CEO of C-Span, interviewed Janet Tavakoli, president of Tavakoli Structured Finance and author of Dear Mr. Buffett, on the causes of the global financial meltdown and how to fix it. Ms Tavakoli took on such topics as Tim Geithner’s cozy relationship with beneficiaries of the bailout, Hank Paulson’s role as an interested man, Robert Rubin as an interested man, financial meth labs, incompetence at the SEC, backdoor bailouts, and more”

  • want to know if obama is still off limits with you guys bc as it appears, one the 1-side, the average citizen is getting hit on copyright by the corp elite and the other side the govt elite.   see vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnQXLEtD5Do&feature=related

  • i try to watch all the videos of max (and stacey) as i can.  but the video i am adding a link to is someone that i also have to see as much as i can.  i cannot disagree with his thinking, really.  thought i would share.  (i know he won’t be your cup of tea but his thinking is fairly complete and he is sincere…and funny).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a–mx2VwQyw

  • Established flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza if used early enough can be effective at treating effects and reduce risk of passing the virus on.

    As yet no specific vaccine has been developed for this strain of flu and may take up to six months to create and produce in significant amounts.

    The last time a bespoke vaccine was produced to treat swine flu in US in 1976 the vaccine had such strong side effects(inc 500 cases of guilliian barre syndrome) it  managed kill more people than the flu outbreak.  The mysterious good news so far is it isn’t  killing people outside of mexico.
    From canadian medical journal…
    Helen Branswell:

    “Anybody who thinks they know what this virus is going to do weeks, months or years from now really doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about.”

    take this info how you like I got mostly from bbc

  • Recombination is the characteristic of Influenza viruses.  They can do their own “bioengineering”, no problem…

  • Max Keiser, I haven’t got a penny to my name but, if you make through this economic mess we are in I will surely stay tuned. I am swearing off TV but I surely appreciate your shows. You are so cool. I wish I knew about you a long time ago. When things get better I will surely support you any way I can. I think what you say is good. I wish more people were like you when it concerns fairness and humanity. When I get the dough I will buy your shirts, The world needs more voices like yours. I like your audio files and tweetcasts because you think out loud in an organic way which is so cool. Unscripted style! Then on tv you are quick witted! so versatile! Thanks Stacy and Max

  • Re: Obamas First 100 Days: As always, john Pilger is spot on.

  • Danny,
    Re: John Pilger’s comments – I can’t get to the site with the link you’ve provided.

  • Guys,
    I recommend you check out the following:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nlrF9QWRpU

    In 6 parts – It’s one of the best Max Keiser interviews I’ve heard.

  • Re: swine flu – I just heard on Daily Politics that there has now been a death in the US.
    This thing is absolute b***ocks. I think they’re intention is to ‘vaccinate’ us all, what with? God only knows, but we can be sure it won’t be good for us.

  • @sharon

    just go to http://www.johnpilger.com and its the first article on the right hand-side

  • Just heard that Egypt has ordered the culling of all pigs despite being the only country so far with no reported cases of swine flu.
    This is what happened in the UK when there was an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. Of course we found out later that the disease originated from a gov. lab. This was admitted by the UK gov who said it was one person had removed the virus from the lab. This one person was then able to spread the virus by visiting farms across hundreds of miles, all at the same time. I believe the virus was spread with the objective of wiping out independent farming, thus enabling the corporates to obtain more control over our food and therefore more control over the people.

  • Thanks Danny, got it now.

  • Further to my post above re: one death in the US. It turns out that this was a Mexican. Why does this flu appear to be only killing Mexicans?

  • Well Sharon, Muslims have a thing against swine (unclean animal) anyway so why not use the opportunity… Never waist a good crisis you know, politicians love that stuff.
     
    Yesterday I read that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency to respond to the swine flu outbreak as two fatalities in Los Angeles were being investigated for possible links to the virus. It is crazy, I mean… “Possible links” not confirmed links but still the jumpy Americans declare state of emergency.
    At home or own health minister had press conference laying out scenarios of possible 1,2 Million people infected and possible 13000 people dead. What help is in that?
    Also, reports of doctors around the country hoard Tamiflu to themselves and their family from drugstores. As they did in 2005 when frightened by the avian flu. Thanks a lot!
    I read that Mexico authorities have previously stated that 20 people are confirmed dead as a result of swine flu, but the health minister Jose Angel Cordova says now that the figure is reduced to 7.
    I guess most of you don’t understand Norwegian so I don’t give out links on any of this. But the whole situation is just so weird.

  • Hey Palantiti, I didn’t know you were Norwegian. From what I’ve seen your country is streets ahead in terms of social justice and self sufficiency, am I wrong? I was thinking of moving to Norway so would appreciate if you would confirm whether Norway is likely to escape the madness that is lilely to befall the rest of us in the west, ie. is it one of the few ‘safe’ countries in the world?

  • How should you have known? On a large scale I think Norway is one of the best countries of the world to live in, and that is being confirmed by many nation comparison tests. We do enjoy a high living standard and have a welfare model with universal healthcare, free education and a comprehensive social security. I think social standards/justice is good. We are safe, and as long the US/Britain doesn’t fuck things up for the rest of Europe we will continue to be safe. Anyway, I think you could enjoy it here, but remember we like any other nation have our own little problems to deal with.

  • Thanks Palantiri, that’s what I thought. Re: how did I know you are Norwegian – you mentioned it in your post.
    Anyway, back to the topics at issue and in particular: swine flu. Did any of you know this:-
    Czech newspapers are questioning if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed to 18 countries by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic.

    The claim holds weight because, according to the very laboratory protocols that are routine for vaccine makers, mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible.

    “The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses,” reports the Canadian Press.

    Baxter flu vaccines contaminated with H5N1 – otherwise known as the human form of avian flu, one of the most deadly biological weapons on earth with a 60% kill rate – were received by labs in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Slovenia.

  • Re: swine flu. The media is going mental with this and they’re scaring the zombies. Just listened to Channel 4 news and there was a father on there whose children’s school has had a case of this flu (in the UK) and he was annoyed that they would only give an injection to one of his children (the other being in a different year) so he said he would be going to his GP to get the other child injected – what with I don’t know. I find it ironic that these people are demanding the state injects them whereas I think most of us would run a mile.
    The other side of this is how scared people are getting, especially children. What the hell is going on?

  • Re: swine flu again…, seen this? “Flu stories traveling faster than flu itself” http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9b1_1241027798 puts a good perspective on the situation so far.

  • The video mr.supergeek posted about a swine flu ad from 1976 is amazing.

    here it is again…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_qJ2tOY7ss

  • WHO just announced that swine flu has been moved to a level 5. Level 6 is a full blown pandemic (it was level 4 yesterday).

  • The following may provide some answers:
    In October 2005 the Pentagon ordered vaccination of all US military personnel worldwide against what it called Avian Flu, H5N1. Scare stories filled world media. Then, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced he had budgeted more than $1 billion to stockpile the vaccine, Oseltamivir sold under the name, Tamiflu. President Bush called on Congress to appropriate another $2 billion for Tamiflu stocks.
     
    What Rumsfeld neglected to report at the time was a colossal conflict of interest. Prior to coming to Washington in January 2001, Rumsfeld had been chairman of a California pharmaceutical company, Gilead Sciences. Gilead Sciences held exclusive world patent rights to Tamiflu, a drug it had developed and whose world marketing rights were sold to the Swiss pharma giant, Roche. Rumsfeld was reportedly the largest stock holder in Gilead which got 10% of every Tamiflu dose Roche sold. 14 When it leaked out, the Pentagon issued a curt statement to the effect that Secretary Rumsfeld had decided not to sell but to retain his stock in Gilead, claiming that to sell would have indicated something to hide.’ That agonizing decision won him reported added millions as the Gilead share price soared more than 700% in weeks.  
     
    Tamiflu is no mild candy to be taken lightly. It has heavy side effects. It contains matter that could have potentially deadly consequences for a person’s breathing and often reportedly leads to nausea, dizziness and other flu-like symptoms.
     
    Since the outbreak of Swine Flu Panic (not Swine Flu but Swine Flu Panic) sales of Tamiflu as well as any and every possible drug marketed as flu related have exploded. Wall Street firms have rushed to issue ‘buy’ recommendations for the company. ‘Gimme me a shot Doc, I don’t care what it is…I don’ wanna die…’ 
     
    Panic and fear of death was used by the Bush Administration skilfully to promote the Avian Flu fraud. With ominous echoes of the current Swine Flu scare, Avian Flu was traced back to huge chicken factory farms in Thailand and other parts of Asia whose products were shipped across the world. Instead of a serious investigation into the sanitary conditions of those chicken factory farms, the Bush Administration and WHO blamed ‘free-roaming chickens’ on small family farms, a move that had devastating economic consequences to the farmers whose chickens were being raised in the most sanitary natural conditions. Tyson Foods of Arkansas and CG Group of Thailand reportedly smiled all the way to the bank.
     
    Now it remains to be seen if the Obama Administration will use the scare around so-called Swine Flu to repeat the same scenario, this time with ‘flying pigs’ instead of flying birds. Already Mexican authorities have reported that the number of deaths confirmed from so-called Swine Flu is 7 not the 150 or more bandied in the media and that most other suspected cases were ordinary flu or influenza.
     

  • Alex Plante: Janet Tavakoli.  She says much of the same things as Max Keiser, but oh so nicely.
    She is iron under the patina: 

    Janet: the banks created “financial meth labs” to create tricks and addictive products.

    That term is right up there with a Maxer.
