Stacy Summary: Will add more headlines after I return from place Concorde where I am walking around with my pitchfork and guillotine looking for some fellow peasants to march with me to La Defense. What headlines are you reading?? I know you have some good ones! Max won’t stop talking about the Sea Shepherd, so if you have anything to add to that discussion . . . do so here!

I seem to remember Paul Watson from the late 80′s, early 90′s…
Isn’t he a Canuck?
I think he’s borderline insane…
but as the saying goes,
“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”
So if he’s actually doing anything of value (philosophically speaking) then good luck to him…
Maybe we need more crazy people getting active in the world…
OPEN THE GATES TO THE ASYLUM!!!
LET MY PEOPLE GO!!!
My typing skills are waning
Max, just interview gorgeous babes on the Paris streets about their economic sense, that will get the people watching.
Btw I know a really cheap way to make gold currency (if you have gold of course)..
@marcus
good to hear from another person who visits Steve Keen’s site, I dont visit it enough.
@mother of earth,.. i think that you are perhaps being a bit hard on snoot ?,…”.but I sense you make the sounds but would rather not worry about it….’ we are all entitled to our opinions and think that we should at least get to know some one well enough first before we rush to pass judgment on them ,? m
The only barrier to really making any significant changes is “moola” and the big boys hold all the aces,…..
And they know it!
@ Mother Earth:
“@Rothshild The warrior was taken out for the time being. Nuclear test where done on a later date..Fines payed plae in comparison with the defence budget I assume. The boycot was aimed at NZ..”
Eh? What boycott?
The Rainbow Warrior was permanently taken out by the French attack – she’s now at the bottom of Matauri Bay playing home to the fishes.
The sinking – along with the murder of Fernando Pereira – was a huge PR boost for Greenpeace. It firmly cemented in the public mind the ‘David vs. Goliath’ image of the battle.
If Paul Watson manages to get himself killed by being harpooned (or shot again) by some trigger-happy Japanese whaler, the media frenzy that would ensue would probably do as much for the cause as anything he could hope to do alive – and he knows this!
By the fact that he’s still out there putting himself between the whalers and their prey, it’s fairly safe to assume that he’s comfortable with it. It was making that clear that got him booted from GP back in ’77.
Check out Derrick Jensen’s “Star Wars” analogy:

Then think again about which approach is ‘wildy inefficient’.
(Well written, Max, btw).
how does youtube measure views these days?
Is this still relevant?

This year, TubeMogul tested a total of 14 different online video hosts and found YouTube and Yahoo at the other end of the list. Each of them ticks off a video view every single time a video is started, no matter if it’s halfway through, if the page is refreshed, or if the video’s played from an outside embed.
I really shouldn’t have had that cappucino at 10pm tonight
@snoop
Heh… I’ll write an auto-refresh script for half a donut.
@snoopdiddy … yeah,.. i had no end of trouble trying to find the figures for the private debt levels for australia,even with google this was almost impossible to find this figure, the figures are there but hidden away cleverly on ABS [australian bureau statistics web page ,files and data spreads ] you just about need to be an accountant [which i am certainly not ]to find this figure , in the end i emailed Prof Steve Keene and he kindly sent me a link together with an explanation ] i was genuinely shocked at the near 2 Trillion dollar figure ,he said that is minimum figure that he works with and is absolutely beyond dispute of any kind ,that is why he uses that figure, even though he believes it is likely far greater, but that`requires more interpretation of the data currently available.
thanks @marcus, any chance you can post the link?
@LordRothschild, pagereboot.com might do the trick, Max might be able to make a killing on donut derivative products.,
@marcus Well, I have an opinion as well
@ Rothschild Ok, different ship, same name..The boycot was about a related extradition dispute.
To me it is wildly inefficient to steam after ships at sea, risking the lives of yourself and the crew of the whaler if yor gola is to stop the whaling. However dedicated this PW is, he is not very smart. Never the less, cudo’s.

@mother of earth ….i enjoy reading your posts ! [how is the gold going ?]
Hi Stacey,
Here is a video of Meredith Whitney’s comments on the banks which was the spark that set off our new era of global economic prosperity. Pretty good if you haven’t seen it yet:

I will have to see what the view count is next update to see if any of these attempts at views are successful.
@marcus Just as shiny as ever
Its not making me rich.. Gold is on the rise though..
@snoopdiddy ,.. i shall dig back through my old posts and post the link here in a day or two [ the near 2 Trillion dollar figure was from about 3 months ago ]
it just updated and it had only gone up by 38 to 7864. Oh well, good luck with the bet Max.
thanks @marcus
Paul Watson is just another Busy Bee doing his bit for the NWO. What a hero!
All prominent “movements” including Greenpeace are no different from, say, the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, which enjoys the protection of the British Crown (whatever that is… basically the Rothschilds… the “royals” are all Rothschild bastards, as are most of the puppet PMs and presidents put out there… Tony Blair’s an interesting case in point, dead ringer of Prince Andrew, and then there’s OH-Bummer–he must have a fascinating banker genealogy).

@ mother of earth,.. good to hear , i follow elliott wave[ewi] they were or are expecting gold /silver to fall further but this has not happened as much as expected, also US`dollar to strengthen short term, this has happened slightly but shall wait and see what happens until august/sept to see if they were right /.wrong?[ i like to see what works, if anything ? given that we don t access to the inner sanctum or have a GS magic black box ] i am sure if we all had one of those we could all have retired by now ?.good luck !
More food for thought from America’s most notorious victim:

@marcus,
what do you reckon of the possibility of the next wave up on the XAO being a wave 5 and reaching up towards 10,000 around 2017? Starting from Wave 1 before 87 crash, 87 crash as wave 2, up to 2007 crash as wave 3, 07onwards as wave 4…
any legs on that one. I think the Fibonacci numbers would mean this crash still has some way to go but Im not really too cluey on EWs just loosely understanding the concept.
probably making new highs on the XAO around 2012-13?
@snoopdiddy ….here is the link that Prof Steve Keen posted .for private debt levels australia may 19 th [hope it works ,..eyes and fingers crossed !] RBA Bulletin Statistical Table D2 his reply : ” Steve Keen said, in May 19th, 2009 at 8:14 am
You’ll find the approximate figure published in RBA Bulletin Statistical Table D2 Marcus. It’s currently A$1.916 trillion.
I say approximate because it doesn’t include the impact of some non-bank backed corporate bonds that add about another $100 billion.
There is a set of ABS data that I am told is more comprehensive, but I haven’t had the time to suss this out and produce my own sum. I tend to work just with the RBA D02 table data because that can’t be disputed, and the trends (and levels!) there are enough to make my case, even if the actual total is worse.” hope this helps ?

Max,
Paul Watson read McCluan cover to cover before most Youtubers were born. All along he’s assumed that if it doesn’t happen in the media, then it didn’t happen. That’s why he’s enlisted celebrities like Bridgitte Bardot in the 60s and Seven Segal more recently. And now he’s deftly worked with Animal Planet to get the message out for 2 seasons. (Which can be seen on Youtube or Hulu ) He outlines all of his tactics in his book: Earthforce. Good reading for would-be activists.
By the way, it should be pointed out that his group, SSCS, is non-violent, has never harmed another person or animal and has never committed any crime (no felony convictions).
Someone asked about his “authority” to act on the high seas. While Greenpeace is a protest group, SSCS is a law enforcement organization. The UN Charter for Nature gives private NGO’s the authority and obligation to enforce international laws when gov’ts fail to. Other laws SSCS is enforcing include CITES, the Antarctic treaty, and the IWC ban on commercial whaling, all of which are being violated by the current Japanese whaling operation. SSCS’s has also been hired by the gov’t of Ecuador to enforce enviro. laws in the Galapagos Islands.
@Chris,…..As the ole saying goes,…Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutley
@MotherEarth:
“But I sense you make the sounds but would rather not worry about it..”
I am rather cynical; many good causes are promoted as a way to gain allegiance to an organization which may be used as a front for those who would to gain monopoly rights over nature and man. As for making sounds, I do write with phonetic English, but my actions support my principals, generally. I have not the money nor the influence to enact change in a dramatic fashion, but I do not align myself with change agents whose base intentions are belied by their associations.
@ Mother Earth
“To me it is wildly inefficient to steam after ships at sea, risking the lives of yourself and the crew of the whaler if yor gola is to stop the whaling.”
So what would you suggest? Blowing them up at the quayside?!?

I followed Youri’s plan: here’s Juergenwahl’s excellent link for those who don’t want to register to FT.
“To me it is wildly inefficient to steam after ships at sea, risking the lives of yourself and the crew of the whaler if yor gola is to stop the whaling.”
Yes, and wickedly expensive. What are the goals? Suprasovereignty for the ICC?
@LordRothschild:
True to your namesake, to make lists of those whom you fashion undesirable!
@snoot
But is cuts rather deep into the concept of environmental activism to ridcule a proces of legal defence of a species (whales with wigs). Defending environmental preservation is not ridiculous at all.
We forget courts are only there to help people make judgement that are controversial and need some autority to force one or the other party into accepting the ruling. Sometimes its obvious, and the only reason you have to go to court is because the other party is unwilling to move on.
F.i. If whales are so valuable, why not start a case suing the whalers for the replacement cost of the evolutionary process that led to whales, or ask them to pay extinction insurance based on catastrophic models of population collapse (5% extinciton risk means 5% of the replacement cost). All that by a representative of whale futures, or future whalers.
anyway..probably an obvious set of remarks..
All the shite in Christendom! The link doesn’t work, so type in the title of the article individually and you get the whole thing!
@MotherEarth:
“whales with wigs”…hmmm like lipstick on a pig? I was trying to illustrate the hypocrisy of the UN judicial system IMHO: I’m sorry if I offended you. I meant the whales were wiser than the men who sat on the court, and the sea mammals know not yet man’s corruption.
@Motherearth,……..This might give you another perspective on what courts are there for,.!
http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50819
@Dedo: Not sure what you’re referring to when you say:
“,…Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
Perhaps you are referring to Paul Watson? If so, then given the fact that he has had to stand by powerless and watch the deaths of about 500 whales this season (in spite of saving another 500), then your adage implies that Watson must not be corrupt.
If you want to point fingers a powerful environmental groups, look at Greenpeace. They have a 100 million dollar+ annual budget. I’m not saying that they aren’t doing anything good. I do know however that they gave up trying to defend the whales in Antarctica. Last season, for the first time, SSCS was down there alone. This was rather dishonest of GP because the previous year they raised considerable $$ promoting their anti -whaling protest activities off Antarctica, which, while not as effective as SS’s, at least caused a the whalers a nuisance.
As Mother Earth pointed out, some people would rather criticize everybody who is trying to do something than do something themselves. I would just say: If you’re going to criticize anyone, say an activist, for their actions, then you need to tell us what YOU are doing (or will be doing) which is accomplishing more than those you criticize. (For example, Max has suggested the KarmaBanque strategy of financial activism) Anything less is mere whining.
@Chris,…give it time and you will !
And Chris,….are you really so naive to believe that Max would be allowed to take any action to tumble a system!

@dedo Max is certainly raising awareness in favour of reality as opposed to the usual distraction
That article on gainsburg shows 1. she was wrong about her perception of an intent to reduce some populations. It wasn’t there. 2. Her own effort to create a non discriminative environment for pregnant women to consider an abortion. Less travel means less cost means more equality. Of course that means more abortions in poorer populations. If a mother is advised and accepted to consider her economical circumstences in her decision to become pregnant, then why wouldn’t she be allowed to if she unexpectedly is pregnant?
Otherwise I would say off course (!) there are eugenic forces in society.
“SSCS is a law enforcement organization. The UN Charter for Nature gives private NGO’s the authority and obligation to enforce international laws when gov’ts fail to.

SSCS’s has also been hired by the gov’t of Ecuador to enforce enviro. laws in the Galapagos Islands.”
The UN is a suprasovereign agency backed by big globalist money. The UN has no authority to legislate police actions except by precedent established through coercion and the IMF. Anglo-Dutch hegemony are advanced through UN policing.
Some of we mere readers are responsible for families and are merely attempting to enable those we love to survive. We do not have the option of poop-pooping about on a yacht to advance UN sea policing policies.
@Mother Earth,….I agree, to spread awareness that there are many more systems and perspectives is great, keep up the good work!
thx for the link! i really respect Spitzer
