morality arbitrage of some of the commentators here is interesting, but hard to trade – your own private morality hedge fund in your minds, y’all. Absolute truth in a world of fiat currencies is propaganda speak for ‘loser.’

————————————————————————

from my youtube comment;

my comments on this vid are no more / less provocative than the many comments I’ve made on various subjects on various networks for years… this particular vid and subject is drawing special attention which proves a bias in the youtube audience toward certain predetermined beliefs and away from others. Don’t look at me. Look at yourselves.

Standards? some of you have NONE! becasue you have no hard currency in economics, politics, journalism..

… that’s why many are quickly going broke.

Propaganda! Yes, Squeky Froum you love it.

Good luck with that.

Max, I’m partially a fan of yours, only you sometimes blow it. In this interview you sounded rather shrill and even desperate. Certainly not your best.

Look Max, you can up your game. Compose yourself, focus, stay mindful of the environment in which you have to operate.

Or shoot your mouth off and come across as this fringe element. It’s your choice. I’d miss you if you’re gone, but remind myself that you had become this embarrassing loose canon that was attracting more ridicule than adulation.

please post on other sites (likevueflix.com) because youtube is blocked in china (i know, weak… they’re also blocking blogspot now; they’re terrified of the internet, jesus its pathetic)

Thanks for the info Mike. The guy above thinks this whole thing is simply about monetary greed. What he doesn’t realize is that these men have all the “money” they want. They want the world. . .
bzmoore | May 15, 2009 at 9:41 am |

Did I miss the ‘nut’ train or something?

It doesn’t have to be the NWO or the Arabs or the Jews or the Masons or the whoever, basic human greed can explain all this mess.

The top tiers of the United States government, along with numerous national and international organizations, are in complete cooperation and collusion with the entities controlling the money supply. In unity, the combined alliances of this money controlling entity have waged a global economic ambush against the governments and citizens of the world.

Giving a name to this “entity” such as, Illuminati, Banking Cartel, Bilderberg Group etcetera, matters not. The organizations controlling the money supply exist and have coordinated together for decades to create, control, manage and manipulate all aspects of the faulty economic debt model being utilized around the globe. As a result, they have created a conglomerate of organizations which is without question the most influential power on the earth superseding all governments including the government of the United States.
Let’s label this group the PCMS -“People Controlling the Money Supply.”

The PCMS’s most importantly organized spearhead representation is the Federal Reserve. The Reserve is their most powerful, deceptive manipulator in all aspects of creating, controlling, managing and manipulating the money supply of the number one currency of the world – the U.S. dollar. Unknown to governments and citizens worldwide, is the fact the Federal Reserve is actually a non-governmental private institution. The word “Federal” in the title of the PCMS’s Federal Reserve had been a deliberate, cooperating charade to add “illusionary” U.S. Governmental Agency clout to the for profit, private enterprise called the Federal Reserve. It is the “con” of the millennium, successfully presented to both the American citizens and world governments. The Federal Reserve “entity” does not consist of American citizens nor do they reside in the United States. The Federal Reserve and its representative banking system are “stationed” in the United States, nothing more.

The Federal Reserve and the PCMS are one in the same. The Federal Reserve has no allegiance to the American people, the United States government or any international governments of the world. It is its own entity governed by no one. The United States Government governing the Federal Reserve is a fallacy. For all practical purposes, the Federal Reserve governs the United States Government. The U.S. Congress is nothing more than a minor obstacle to manipulate for “rubber stamp” approval of necessary legislation to further the FR/PCMS’s abilities to expand their power to control the money supply and all aspects pertaining to it. The Congress of the United States is one small step above the uninformed citizens and oblivious, until recently, to the FR/PCMS’s existence, immense influential power and their “shadow control” partnership with the upper tier of the U.S. Government. To expand, the elite body of the U.S. Government, including the presidents of past and present, had received unprecedented assistance by the FR/PCMS in attaining their positions. This has resulted in a separate political entity with the ability to make policy changes in government to enable future side stepping of Congress and the laws of the Constitution for the benefit of the FR/PCMS’s agenda.

The elite U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, PCMS and many associated power’s cooperate in pursuing a singular focused, long term agenda of controlling the world’s money supply and every aspect of the global financial system. This includes the systematic dismantling of the sovereignty of nations which is occurring in the United States and other countries presently for the purpose of paving the way for a future global ruling body under the FR/PCMS’s direction.

The United Nations is the global ruling body prototype. The UN, CFR, WTO, NATO, IMF and others are either creations of the FR/PCMS or partner organizations. This entire conglomerate is in total participation with the sole interest of pursuing the creation of a “New Monetary Order” organization, to be “overlooked” by a pinnacle “International Federal Reserve/ IMF” organization to be the spearhead of the “New World Order” – NWO. What the “International FR” is named, is irrelevant. It will exist and democracy of any meaningful kind will be suppressed globally as it is now in the United States. The gravity in understanding these paramount facts is essential to fully understand the current, deliberately induced, controlled demolition and collapse of the U.S. dollar and world economies.

In a mystery nearly equivalent to the creation of the universe, the FR/PCMS has been given the divine right to create money from nothing and control its every aspect. It is the “Holy Grail” of power, superior power. Thousands, millions, billions, trillions it matters not. This is not about the money. The enormous number of zeros added to computerized balance sheets to every known industry, both governmental and public, is irrelevant to the FR/PCMS agenda as is the circulation of paper currency. Loaning out astronomical amounts of “money” the FR/PCMS “prints” while controlling every aspect of its use, is an advantage to the FR/PCMS. Debt increases their power base and is absolutely necessary to the agenda.

This crisis is not about “future tax burdens”, “stimulus packages”, “bailouts”, etcetera times ten. This is about exponentially expanding the immense power initially given to the FR/PCMS a generation ago, which they have systematically expanded, in full stealth, through ongoing elite government collusion and joining partnerships with elite corporations, foreign governments and international civilian powers. The FR/PCMS’s conglomerate has only one totally focused, long term step by step agenda which is to expand the powers bestowed upon them by controlling the world currency, or currencies inevitably formed in the aftermath of their deliberate inducement of a global economic collapse. The FR/PCMS has utilized the dollar in establishing immense global power by being given the divine right to control it. The US Dollar is simply a disposable tool which the FR/PCMS had created, nurtured and raised to be utilized in maintaining and expanding the empowerment provided through its complete control. The dollar is a means to an end, nothing more.

Unrealized by most citizens and governments of the world, the “United States” dollar is not “owned” by the United States; it is the sole property of the private enterprise called the Federal Reserve and associated PCMS. The US dollar is being utilized by the United States in a business arrangement with the FR/PCMS, nothing more. There once was a president that attempted to end this business arrangement but he was removed from his position, permanently. The substantial progress he made toward ending the partnership was retracted and retired as well. The presidents’ name was John F. Kennedy. No one has attempted to put the most powerful entity on the planet “out of a job” since. Joining is much more profitable and healthier than fighting.

Currently, citizens of the U.S. and citizens of the world feel the United States controls the US dollar and is desperately trying to save its position as the world’s number one currency. Also, the general world consensus is that the FR/PCMS is a bumbling incompetence which is, so far, failing in ALL its “attempts” to “save” the United States economy and in the “assistance in the saving” the world economies. The FR/PCMS is not failing, nor are they incompetent.

The FR/PCMS and associates are the elite of the elite most intelligent, ruthlessly cunning businessmen on the planet with astronomical amounts of power and influence. They work diligently 24 hours a day, seven days a week year after year toward their singular goal of expanding their control of the money supply since their inception or a partners joining. The mega conglomerate controlling the money supply, and all aspects there of, have worked together in almost complete stealth for decades (until now with the advent of internet) and are currently succeeding with their goal to control the world money supply in stellar fashion. Saving or “fixing” the US dollar, the US economy and world economies, is an illusion, a diversion, a con. The agenda is to collapse, not to fix.

This “global economic crisis” is not about the United States or its citizens; it is not about the countries of the world or their citizens; this is about the controlled demolition of the US Dollar for the purpose of forcefully inducing global financial economic collapse by the FR/PCMS for the inevitable establishment of a new world currency or currencies and controlling them. Labeling this as conspiracy would be incorrect. This is business as usual for the FR/PCMS. Essentially, it is the mission statement of the FR/PCMS to become the New World Monetary System controlling body, aka, New World Order. Controlling world currency is the key to that position.

For more than a decade the FR/PCMS, with the assisting elites of the U.S. Government, have been systematically acquiring the necessary abilities to implement and control all stages of the pre planned global economic ambush and the national public chaos that will ensue. Having legislation passed through “crisis” pressure with or without congressional approval has become accelerated in recent years and common place. The immense power of the FR/PCMS/US ELITE and its direct influence on government with total disregard to the U.S. Constitution has become frighteningly obvious to both the U.S. Congress members and the U.S. citizens.

Control of the stock market, the price of oil, gold, silver, interest rates, international currencies, etcetera, and etcetera, is either under total control or enormous influence by the FR/PCMS/USGOV and being utilized in coordinating the “floor by floor” collapse of the US dollar and global economy. Without question, the free market system of supply and demand has been removed from the current financial situation for the purpose of the agenda.

The Plunge Protection Team, Security Exchange Commission, Commodities Exchange and on and on, consisting of literally countless other “divisions of control”, are all manipulating and performing in coordinated orchestration at the direction of the FR/PCMS/USGOV like a well choreographed military attack. The evidence is EVERYWHERE, including the ENORMOUS amounts of legislation passes over the years in the name of “terrorism”, more correctly stated, in the name of “deliberate economic collapse”, to control the citizens of the US and to portray this entire global economic event as an “unforeseen accident” to the populace of the world. It is becoming outrageously obvious, worldwide, the FR/PCMS and colluding United States and other International Governments, in particular the United Kingdom, are blatantly manipulating virtually every aspect of the global financial system and ALL of the pertinent governmental and public statistical information as well.

For years, by every fraudulent, non fraudulent, covert and non covert means available, the FR/PCMS, US elite government and colluding elite world governments, enabled and aggressively promoted, massive debt loads nationally and internationally. During the same time they also enabled and massively promoted international investments into the “perceived” or, better described as, deliberately deceived “safety” of the US dollar in preparation for the preliminary initiation of the global economic ambush. As one of the many obvious examples, the FR/PCMS’s unquestionably fraudulent selling of hundreds of billions of dollars worth of repackaged mortgage securities labeled as AAA rated investment instruments of, soon to become, “toxic waste” to unsuspecting banks and investors worldwide. Another example would be the FR/PCMSs’ creation of the ultimate weapon of mass financial destruction of nuclear explosion proficiency… the derivative.

Upon their first appearance to investors, derivatives were instantly labeled as “financial time bombs”; that is because they were created by the FR/PCMS to be exactly that, GLOBAL financial time bombs. Derivatives are equal to over a hundred trillion dollars and they were designed as being the “insurance policy” for the FR/PCMS to succeed in collapsing the global financial system. There is NO WAY the FR/PCMS was not aware of the inevitable future destruction these instruments would cause to banks and investors of the world with regards to implementing an economic collapse. Derivates were deliberate. Derivates will guarantee the collapse of the global financial system for the FR/PCMS.

The unbelievably gross appalling criminal fraud being committed by the FR/PCMS, United States Elite Government and colluding international governments is currently becoming obvious to all citizens and non FR/PCMS affiliated governments of the globe. Their criminal actions of outlandish proportions and depth have become exponential while spanning the length of decades. They are above any consequence of the continuing violations spanning decades of countless laws, restrictions and transparency requirements while constantly being rewarded both financially and with ever increasing additional empowerment. For all practical purposes, the FR/PCMS conglomerate has become an independently superior “governmental body” while preparing to move up to the supreme position of world governance by way of global economic collapse and establishing control of the worlds’ money supply. The title of the supreme position is the New World Order.

Secret Bush-Clinton-Federal Reserve Pakistani Accounts Revealed

Published on 05-12-2009

By Tom Heneghan

UNITED STATES of America – It can now be reported that the recent resignation of former New York Federal Reserve Bank of New York Chairman, Stephen Frieidman, signals an expanding investigation of New York Attorny General Andrew Cuomo, who is not only focused on the massive New York state financial derivative Ponzi Scheme, but is now centered on money laundry, and possible funding of alleged terrorists in Pakistan.

Note: Cuomo was recently in a state of shock when he looked at new evidence linking Citibank, J. P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs and AIG, to not only a terrorist money laundry in Pakistan, but to evidence tying all of these aforementioned brokerage firms and the Federal Reserve itself to PRE 9/11 knowledge, which allowed them to profit with put options and short positions placed before 9/11.

This allowed these criminal brokerage firms to benefit from the death of near 3,000 in New York City.

Reference: Friedman, who still sits on the Board of Goldman Sachs, has been recently cooperating with the New York Attorney General, but as you will find out in the rest of this briefing, Friedman has been playing both sides against the middle and is now involved in espionage double-cross.

Sources close to Defense Intelligence and the National Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as European INTERPOL, have actually fingered Friedman as the bagman for the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate involving illegal wire transfers of TRILLIONS of dollars of STOLEN U.S. Treasury funds that were laundred through Goldman Sachs brokerage firm in New York City, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Israel Discount Bank and the Federal Reserve itself to the Israeli Bank Leumi in Tel Aviv onto secret U.S. national security accounts in Pakistan.
Note: Assisting Friedman in looting the U.S. Treasury (the back end of the toxic derivatives) is a Pakistani national who is a joint U.S.-Pakistan CIA Intelligence officer with the initials ” K.H. ”

KH, who was presumed dead by many in the intelligence community, including Stephen Friedman, is now cooperating with European INTERPOL.

Note: Early Saturday morning on May 9, 2009, foreign born alleged President Barack Obama ordered a missile attack near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, which was was an alleged attack against so-called Al Qaeda terrorists.

We can now report that it was daddy Bush and his little bitch, Bill Clinton, that ordered Obama to launch the attack given reports that the whistleblower KH was in the vicinity.

Clearly, folks, this was not an attack on terrorists but an assassination attempt on KH that failed.

KH has fingered Stephen Friedman, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, along with former President George Herbert Walker Bush, former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in setting up these secret CIA proprietary accounts in Pakistan tied to none other than the late alleged 9/11 terrorist aka patsy CIA employee Tim Osman aka Osama bin Laden.

Note: Bin Laden, who died of kidney failure in December of 2001 and was a cosignator on these accounts, is claimed to still be alive based on the U.S. media’s big lie that he is still wandering the hills of Afghanistan.

Believe this, folks, he is dead as a door nail!

Should bin Laden’s death be reported, the IRS would have immediate access to these secret accounts that now have rotating access codes aka electronic serial combinations based on biblical chapters and verses.

The Pakistan money laundry has been a piggy bank for the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate since the 9/11 attack on America.

These accounts have now been frozen by the World Court and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) given the cooperation of the now whistleblower KH in handing over the account numbers and access codes aka the biblical chapters and verses that have now prevented daddy Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan from getting into these accounts.

Reference: It has been reported that the Pakistani government refused Barbara Bush, wife of former President George Herbert Walker Bush, and Andrea Mitchell, wife of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President and daddy Bush’s little bitch, Bill Clinton, entry into Pakistan.
Reference: It was Chelsea Clinton that used funds from a Goldman Sachs hedge fund to arrange the BRIBING of New York Governor David Paterson in order to keep Caroline Kennedy from being appointed the next New York Democratic U.S. Senator.

It is clear now that former Federal Reserve Bank of New York Chairman, Stephen Friedman, is caught in a double cross.

Friedman had been cooperating with the New York state investigation while at the same time keeping secret the existence of these secret Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate’s accounts in Pakistan, which now not only have a possibly link to the Bernard Madoff Ponzi Scheme but to the funding of alleged worldwide Al Qaeda terrorists as well as the 9/11 attack itself.

He clearly thought that KH had died – well he is clearly alive and kicking, folks.

P.S. At this hour the Obama Administration is ignoring a French Intelligence warning of a possible FALSE FLAG terrorist attack that would be staged in New York City around the Broad Street area aka the location of the Goldman Sachs brokerage firm.

We can now divulge that there are tape recorded conversations involving current White House Chief of Staff and former head of the North American Israeli Mossad, Rahm Emanuel, and current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, concerning the existence of certain files, documents and computer downloads currently held at Goldman Sachs that involve former Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Chairman Stephen Friedman, the Bernard Madoff Ponzi Scheme and the secret money laundry from the U.S. to Israeli to Pakistan.

French Intelligence sources have, once again, identified certain alleged Al Qaeda types that are linked to the noted 9/11 Israeli Mossad’s Urban Moving Systems espionage group, that is still operating in New Jersey, and have been recently photographed outside the New York financial district.

P.P.S. At this hour there is NO Justice Department as the Obama Administration continues to allow Bush Clinton Crime Family Syndicate rule over the United States.

The bought and paid for U.S. Congress, along with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), continue to run rampant in attempts to attack the American People.

For example, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, who has lunch on occasion with former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, still has a terrorist watch list that includes enemies of Karl Rove aka former Democratic Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

Napolitano and Chertoff have also put together a list called the “Domestic Extremist Lexicon”, which classifies individuals as terrorists if they do not agree with corporate, fascist media versions of events.

Not to be left out, radical feminista and tribalist Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA), is sponsoring legislation (H.R. 1966), which would allow the government to censor the internet if it was determined that internet bloggers brought “emotional distress” to alleged individuals that were being criticized.

Ms. Sanchez is also working on legislation, which would allow the 2nd Amendment rights of the American People to be infringed on should a DHS oversight panel decide that an individual American citizen might be a terrorist and therefore be unable to buy a firearm.

Clearly, according to Ms. Sanchez, if you are critical of Ms. Sanchez you are therefore a “terrorist”.

Ms. Sanchez, who favors the illegal invasion of the United States by illegal aliens from Mexico is the REAL terrorist and a THREAT to our U.S. Constitution.

Call the DHS and tell them you have identified a terrorist in our Congress:

Operator Number: 202-282-8000

Comment Line: 202-282-8495

Final note: I want to make it clear to all of our loyal readers that the Bush-Clinton-Federal Reserve Crime Syndicate is desperate.

We, the American People, have uncovered the truth about their TREASONOUS activities. So, their next step aka the Swine Flu will be to attack us.

Daddy Bush and his little bitch, Bill Clinton, are sociopaths. They are loosing their money and their power and the U.S. Military has told foreign born alleged President Obama that they will not tolerate him enabling any more of this TREASON.

Again, folks, prepare for revolutionary mode. The best defense is a great offense.

We will do whatever is necessary to save our U.S. Constitution, our beloved Republic, our freedoms and our American way of life and remove these TRAITORS from American soil.

…

We announce to the criminal government and its criminal corporate media enablers: YOU ARE TOO CORRUPT TO CONTINUE!

We, the American People, who are well armed, will be victorious!

* * * REMEMBER * * *

The orders of the day for ALL patriots as we continue to identify the enemies of the American Republic and the American Revolution in the 21st Century and eradicate them:

Oath Keepers: Orders We Will NOT Obey
http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/oath-keepers-declaration-of-orders-we.html

When it comes to the enemies of the American Republic and the American Revolution in the 21st century, we dedicate ourselves to the 2nd American Revolution and making these enemies a memory.

We must remove them from American soil, and DO IT NOW!

Overlord at Yorktown remains relentless and victorious.

At this hour, we live free or die as Lafayette remains at Brandywine and Albert Gore Jr. remains the year 2000 duly eletected, non-inaugurated, REAL natural born President of the United States.
Mep | May 14, 2009 at 9:56 pm |

@ Don, I think that all young Americans should learn about Operation Northwoods in their history classes.

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/

Maybe then we wouldn’t be so naive.
Rah Mega | May 14, 2009 at 6:28 pm |

Whoaaaaa what phone tapes are they talking about. . . Sounds like big news. . . Someone update me, I can’t find an article on it. . .
Spookwaffe | May 14, 2009 at 5:54 pm |

Remember when about 1 week after 8-11; Cynthia McKinney made some statement about Bush having inside knowledge of 911?

Remember how INcredible her statements were because she was a blk female?

Remember?

Then Micheal Moore started talking…..

And now you and your “buddy” can challenge the official 911 report.

Why?

Because A; Qeaudea is less credible than Al CRACKA!

Thats right!

I said it and won’t take it back!

Why?

Cause its true!.

*try not to choke on them nads*

Keep choppin Max.
Don (Joe bag O chickens) | May 14, 2009 at 5:14 pm |

apologies for so many grammatical errors.
Don (Joe bag O chickens) | May 14, 2009 at 5:12 pm |

911 was the most obvious inside job that we have ever witnessed. The swine were so eager to “pull it” that they made so many mistakes, and with all their mistakes the way they tried to cover it up was even more outlandish.

Americans are naive, we still believe that we are #1 as if the USA was a fucking football team. We are naive because some where inside of us the idea that our own government would sell us out for their own instant financial ease and gratification.

Many of us can not so much as conger up such sadistic selfish behavior because we could not do such things themselves. But not so for the wolves. They would murder their own if they felt they “had too” or a profit were involved.
smallz | May 14, 2009 at 4:58 pm |

Max is great, but I think he could have picked a much better metaphor in this case. Certainly he isn’t short on any.

“Most people in America look back on 9/11 and wished that maybe 20 to 30.000 traders had got wiped out instead of just 2 or 3000″ -MK

As a bomb-thrower myself, that was damn impressive man!

I imagine Ms. Herbert was somewhere either shaking her head or massaging her temples when Max lobbed that grenade into the Press TV Bunker. But as the saying goes, behind all good men is a woman rolling her eyes.

Anyway, Keiser may have had a temporary memory lapse regarding the Is-it-really’s, Insurgent U.S. Government Officials and others “in the know” who (a) Didn’t show up for work on 9/11, (b) Didn’t fly on 9/11, and/or (c) Didn’t report to the towers in Manhattan on 9/11 because they got the call not to show.

Nevertheless, we can’t forget the people who DID show up to work that day to work hard as usual: The Firefighters, Service Workers, Police, Volunteer Workers and EMT’s got sent to die because they were doing their job FROM THE HEART, in an environment where SOMEBODY PLANTED FRIGGIN’ EXPLOSIVES IN THOSE BUILDINGS.

A lot of working people weren’t lucky enough to get ‘heads-up’ from Condi-rice like SF Mayor Brown not to Fly on 9/11.

Not only did many American’s fail to get a warning like political and economic insiders, they also failed to get basic medical treatment of their illness as a result of helping.

Max is usually right though not always accurate.

Remember, Keiser picked Obama which proves nobody is perfect.
Proximo | May 14, 2009 at 4:18 pm |

Speaking of 9/11 victims, did you know that scientists have found traces of unexploded thermate in WTC dust? They’ve now got a scientific paper PUBLISHED on the topic because the evidence is so clear. Explosives absolutely were used, possibly up to 100 tons of them for all 3 skyscrapers that were demolished. It’s hard to imagine that any of the real crooks of the world financial system died on 9/11. They all got their SMS messages from Oligo or FEMA telling them to stay home…

Watch this video (there are more like it):

Matt | May 14, 2009 at 2:35 pm |

I think it was a dumb comment
Spookwaffe | May 14, 2009 at 2:15 pm |

“Most people in america look back on 9/11 and wished that maybe 20 to 30.000 traders had got wiped out instead of just 2 or 3.000″

Max is “safe” because he made a statement regarding what OTHER PEOPLE THINK; he never said its what HE thinks.

It would be like me saying: “most black people wish white people would die off”.

See what I mean?

Im making a statement about what OTHER PEOPLE THINK.

I can’t be punished or fined for that.

Why?

Cause it

might

be

true!

*just sayin*

Keep choppin Max
Mark Bailey | May 14, 2009 at 12:29 pm |

@Max

I agree totally with your 9-11 comment, finally some one has said it!

I also secretly wish the IRA come back and bring their reign of terror to the City. Interesting how after we endured many years of bombs and mindless sectarian violence, the government quickly conceded when the City of London was targeted.
Youri Carma | May 14, 2009 at 12:15 pm |

Yep, Max got faded away there for a moment but Afshin is such a sweethart profi.

But remember Max got the real “read between the headline” scope there cause they weren’t exactly prepared for it these censor dudes.
Mep | May 14, 2009 at 11:23 am |

@ Max – re: your edgy joke, when I look back at 9/11, I wish that we didn’t have a bunch of incompetents/criminals in office who ALLOWED 9/11 to happen. They had the intelligence a month prior. They could have taken it seriously and immediately put in place the kind of airport and airplane security we have now. Could have called up all of the flight schools and asked if there were students at those schools who were more interested in flying than they were in learning how to take off or land planes.

I don’t look back and wish more died, I look back in pain and anger.
sharon | May 14, 2009 at 11:10 am |

@Max,
I agree with you and love you for your honesty. I just don’t want you taken off the airwaves and you know what some people are like.
Don (Joe bag O chickens) | May 14, 2009 at 10:17 am |

@Max

you go brother! We need more of the smack down truth in this country (USA). Far too many people are still trapped in Survivor, and the main line media’s white wash of the situation.
While the rest of us risk life and limb to try to make the changes that are so dearly necessary for all.
Spookwaffe | May 14, 2009 at 9:18 am |

“Most people in america look back on 9/11 and wished that maybe 20 to 30.000 traders had got wiped out instead of just 2 or 3.000″

You can’t punish a person for making a true statement.

Unless its a state secret; If a statement is true, it matters not who says it.
Mr Supergeek | May 14, 2009 at 9:10 am |

@Clean Slate
Press TV cheers…. oops, when I saw Afshin it threw me, now I understand the comment by danny…..I did wonder where the AJ logo was.
max keiser | May 14, 2009 at 9:08 am |

I not to stray too far from the zeitgeist –

the Wanda Sykes performance at the WH – opened up the 9/11 thing for a new round of more intense commentary I think.

I asked Stacy about this, and I think it’s true, that up until then, no one has really used the 9/11 incident as the basis for a joke on a high profile main stream media venue till then.

Also, in the US, guys like Gerald Celente who appear on main stream outlets have been getting pretty aggressive with their comments about ‘revolution’ etc.

obviously with press TV – my comments are OK- and they are giving me my own show starting tomorrow ‘on the edge with max keiser’ where I hope to take things to a new level

afshin rattansi will be a regular guest on my new show
sharon | May 14, 2009 at 8:49 am |

Max,
I hope you get away with the 9/11 comment because, for a lot of people, that statement was hugely controversial. I just hope it goes and dies a death somewhere because many people are capable of picking that one up and running with it and that wouldn’t be in your interests or ours because we enjoy your tv performances.
Kurt | May 14, 2009 at 8:33 am |

hi Max, I agree with snoop diddy, maybe you could be a real ‘Robin Hood’ ?

What happened to HBO? The Yanks are clearly giving you the big freeze, mate.

@Mr Supergeek
Afshin takes his life into his own hands every time Max appears !
I don’t blame him for phasing Max out after that comment …. he doesn’t want to get shot !

PS:
Big credit to Afshin .. one of the few presenters that gives Max lots of time .

@Chris
After watching this clip I wondered has Max gone too far this time,
I think Al Jazeera are must be dudes for always inviting Max back….or maybe they realise if anybody other than a white american made comments like that on the station they would be bombed back to babylon.
Ha……just imagining a bootleg recording of all the comments that Max has made on various shows over the years that didn’t make it on air……

It was Press TV boys….and yes, what were you saying before you went on air?…..”Have you heard my pastie song!?”
Chris @ Iowa | May 14, 2009 at 4:58 am |

Max,

What is it about Al Jazeera that always makes you bring up murder of top US execs?

I think you like to scare everyone by jumping right over the line they have so clearly drawn with their censorship. They must be some cool people to keep inviting you back

What were you saying right before the show?
Mr Supergeek | May 14, 2009 at 4:56 am |

@Max
Yeah I meant to say that ‘It was obvious that Max or something was making them nervous’…..

I just sent this to the FT, maybe they will print it….

Sir,

Why not let the market decide? When it comes to determining whether or not Michael Savage, the Americans ‘shock-jock’ recently banned from entering the UK by Her Majesty’s Government (freedom in peril: gideon rachman may 12th) what about the idea of listing him as a virtual security on CantorFitzgeral/Hollywood Stock Exchange’s CantorExchange trading box office futures and celebrity value. This way punters on both side of the Atlantic can forget about the free speech debate and just ‘short’ Mr. Savage’s career of Muslim baiting, gay bashing, and autism denying until his career goes the way of BearSteans and Lehman Brothers.

“pen twiddling manically in unison.”

I think that might have something to do with what I was saying before the show went live… Afshin kept saying ‘we can hear you, we can hear you!’

kind of amusing.

Mr Supergeek | May 14, 2009 at 4:38 am |

Max managed to scare the life out of Al Jazeera again, when he said “Most people in america look back on 9/11 and wished that maybe 20 to 30.000 traders had got wiped out instead of just 2 or 3.000″ they executed one of the fastest fades I’ve heard. Is this a first for censorsing Max live on Al Jazeera?

Also what’s quite amusing is the weird body language of the three guys at the start of the show pen twiddling manically in unison.

money is a writen note from reserve banks that the bearer has buying power but the central bank charges them interest for the privelege, therefore controlling power is at the top. Nice way to run a system that is only about the exchange of goods and services among citizens. Aren’t governments great. Writing notes at a price that the money hasn’t been issued to pay it all back. Perpetual debt slaves with the only feasible outcome being the govt grows in size as people have to get closer to the source of the money for the society to continue. Farmers get the raw straw because they are as far away from the reserve bank as you can get and still be in business. By the time a product is sold to them the money needed to produce it has increased because it has been through so many hands all seeking initerest and a return. Usury reserve banking comes with built in destruction to the society.

Meanwhile everyday Americans have no money to launder in the first place, and if this situation continues won’t have shirts on their backs to launder either.

The “shadow banking” system Max mentions has been around for years.Check out a bank called Clearstream in Luxemburg.
Owned by the Deutsche Börse Group,Every money landering
crooked bank has had some dealings with them.Carlye group and Citibank to name a few.
You can be sure that alot of the the bailout money coming from the US will be moved to secret accounts in Clearstream.
