    With have some horrible people who have abused positions of power but we do have some positive things about the modern world like technology and the internet and the opportunities to set up your own business have not been so accessible. Yes it helps to be skilled and educated as always. Things will come round again….

    I want to make sure Mike/Liverpool sees this it may help him.

    @Mike2Liverpool
    The “overnight” collapse of a complex system!!!!!! we are just coming off a top the likes of which have not been seen in 200 years., as described as the Waterfall Effect described by Martin Armstrong

    Like the jaws of life, they are ripping open a gap between reality (real economic goods) and fantasy (the US dollar). The economy is such a complex organism with so many variables that it simply cannot be controlled.

  3. @Mike

    all you Ron Paul disciples are completely CLUELESS.

    Libertarianism is a FOOL’S PURSUIT and anyone that draws a conclusion that the banks’ unregulated criminal activity is somehow thwarted by giving them more power and less regulation?

    well that’s a source of Orwellian doublethink that only the most insane credulous idiot subscribes to. GROW UP

    She was not at a shop…
    she was at an auction…
    and she didn’t want to wait in line for 3 fucking minutes…
    that’s how long it took for her and her friend to get through the process…

    Just for the record, eh…

    The Sam Peckinpah movie MAX refers to is called
    Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
    I saw the LONG version a few weeks ago and it is good…
    Apparently, The Wild Bunch is also a critical western to see from Peckinpah

    and Stacy, I like Max’ dark humour…
    the part about the woman lighting herself on fire…

    “She stopped shopping, so she’s no longer useful in society.
    She bought a pack of matches, that was her last purchase, and a can of Sterno”

    “Who cares, man, I’m just a farmer. I’m waiting for the American economy to collapse so I can buy the entire state of Pennsylvania”

    HAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha

  8. I didn’t study this whole health bill situation in America cause I don’t understand it and actually I think neither do the Americans about these 2000 pages?

    People in Europe think they know the American mentality cause they watch American movies but in fact they don’t. The beginning of my study about America was seeing a photo of a very need dressed lady on the internet who was shot in her leg at some demonstration. That was just before 911 when I started wondering about this and accidently came in contact with a New York Harverd Law student living in Amsterdam to do some studying in Leiden.

    Actualy Amsterdam and New York have this use of Jiddisch words in common like “massel” or “mazzeltof” nowadays for saying goodby with the difference that many Jews where deported from Amsterdam during the war, we know the dreadfull story.

    In America you get called a rascist for almost anything nowadays and that’s why I wrote that it is rascistic to say that a blackman can’t be a fascist which also was misunderstood in America cause it’s perfect logic and that doesn’t seem to count in the states. Also showing naked bodies is not much apreciated in the States but sadistic murders and torture is OK!? Very schisofrentic.

    Having a child kidnapping ring, murder is no big deal but having a mistress is the end of your career!? I think many Europeans had a big laugh about this Clinton sigar affaire cause look at Berlusconi, he’s still in power and frankly speak’n, I like that better as long as they don’t put their porno or hookery on a public taxpayer bill.

  11. http://www.cnbc.com/id/32417835

    Is the guy on the left scared or what

  12. I don’t understand you guys. Sometimes you are preaching Thomas Jefferson and the Constitution and other times you’re talking about “the people won’t stand up for their own healthcare” which sounds socialist.

    You guys hang out over at Daily Kos, HuffPo and the DU and those assholes are forming forum raids against anyone that doesn’t agree with them. They are telling people to steal from the Whole Foods markets since their CEO is anti-Obama’s healthcare plan. You can’t have it both ways. A little socialist…is still socialist.

  13. Americans will endure until they can no longer tolerate it. Then you’re going to see a violent meltdown for the ages. Why don’t you fly back over here and join in.

  14. On the town hall mob

    I dont agree with the analogy between the rise of Hitler and the
    conservative town hall types. One are small corporate funded
    groups, given a script and told to disrupt.

    The german and Italian fascists were mass based male groups, mostly unemployed ex army. They as a movement had an independent agenda. That’s why they could not be controled when they took power. They only got elected because they literally beat everyone else off the streets or worse. American today has no mass left based opposition, it has already been defeated by 25 years of neo-liberal assault. Obama is a corporate animal, a grotesque cardboard cut-out shoved in front of the American people, a human placebo. Change will only come there when mass based democratic organisations develope and confront the state and corporate systems, in opposition to them not through them. Max talks about peaceful change, when the rulers are confronted it is they resort to violence. First they use the police and if they are ineffectual, they use the army. The ruling class will not surrender their privilige peacefully, to think they will, if you do, is naive in the extreme.

  15. Why are you pushing left/right when it’s top vs bottom. They can put every troop in the world on U.S. streets and there still won’t be enough. It’s too big and there are too many firearms in private hands. The only weapon they have left is swine flu and starvation.

    Obama works for the same money that Bush and Clinton worked for. The Fabian socialists have been pushing this crap for the last 100 years. The pressure cooker is about to blow, but I don’t think they’re going to like the results.

  16. I usually like to listen to you but I think you have had too much to drink…all that hate.

    What are we suppose to do – our gov is supose to protect us –
    we can send email , letters, …what else?

    if you are going to criticize then at least tell us what we an do about it…

  17. America was supposed to stand for freedom. There is no “right” to healthcare. I don’t see it in the constitution. The problem today is there is no true competitive capitalism.

    I’m really beginning to believe you guys are gatekeepers.

  18. Great show!!….Roll tide roll. Sadly, none of this is new. In fact, quite old. Some great summer reading about the long history of these problematic matters: Woody Holton’s “Unruly Democrats”….Terry Bouton’s “Taming Democracy”….J. Allen Smith’s “Spirit of American Democracy”….Louis Brandeis’s “Other Peolple’s Money”.

    apologies…old new…got a bit excited..thats all..

  22. really, really glad to hear max agree to something that i have been trying to explain to ron paul supporters, and conservatives, and even some liberals who call people national socialists (or nazis).

    this is a terrible comparison, simply for the reasons that atleast the National Socialists loved themselves, and lifted their own people up.

    Americans on the other hand hate themselves and are ashamed of who they are.

    In the past, i have been so frustrated with max making nazi comparisons that i almost had to stop listening to the show, its great to hear max acknowledge this point. Its simple logic to me and i have known this is a bad comparison for a long time, and the biggest offenders of this are the conservatives easily.

    atleast the left saves the term “nazi” usually for people who talk about racial issues.

    The issue here is the president will have sole power of determining what a emergency is.

  24. @America “was supposed to stand for freedom.”

    Proganda must have worked quiet well cause it never did. If you know your history it’s easy to see. Democraties where killed of dictators helped cause they where easier to deal with according to the American foreign political philosophy which is nothing more than some Machivallian thougts, noting realy deep and certainly not based on any moral thoughts. Power & money, that’s all and that seemed to be enough for the U.S..

    The end of the cold war was more armfull for the U.S. than for the Russians which we now see palyed off in a very nasty, slam around who you can hit festivus. But than again the Americans always liked a good deal of fighting around even if it’s purposeless.

    thats basically worse than the N word, and just because its “yiddish”, why does that make it any less hateful?

    the hypocrisy of the left on these issues is really an interesting dilemma for them.

  30. Great show Max & Stacy.

    Nihilism and its ensuing chaos is a better proposition than “keeping hope alive”, singing “yes we can” and playing by rules only enforced on people with no money.

    The only thing collapsing in America is the suckers confidence in what was always a fraudulent system.

    All these SUV driving Suburbanite “top preformers” have been the ones shittin’ a brick as they should. Because doing nothing to get paid comes with a natural sense of guilt. I know becaue I once had it before I quit. This has been an American blue collar past-time of overindulged by those who’ve shut out other workers just to keep their job of ‘doing nothing’ safe and secure. Gary Aguire is a good example of what happens to White or Black Americans who “do their job” in spite of profit. The cultural entitlement called “White Man’s welfare” (i.e. defense contracting, insurance, real estate) has been saddleing the world with an overleveraged “debt” that can never be repaid.

    Working class White “patriotic” Americans along with their Uncle Tom Negro/Latino/Asian counterparts (in the form of left and right wing parrots) have been racanting Ronald Regan elitist bantor to their lest fortunate friends and families for the past 40 years: (a)”pull yorselves up by your bootstraps”, (b)”stop complaining”, (c)”stop blaming the white man for all your problems”, (d)”take responsibility”, (e)”don’t point the finger”, all the while depraved white men seek MORE profit and world MORE conquest when there is clearly nothing left to take.

    The stockholm syndrome is a lack of a better term for what’s going on.

    Then, they voted for and cried tears of fraud.

    I admit, the white man doesn’t deserve the all the blame cause he clearly had a diverse group of accomplices. But you do have to give credit where credit is due. And when credit becomes due, as Karl Denninger points out, “KARMA IS A BITCH”.

    There are no innocent people down here on planet earth. And there can be no redemption without confession.

    Confession is a fundamental element of real change and real revolution.This is why I love Keiser even though I don’t agree with everything he says.

  31. Pretty in depth report on the Iceland fraud …

Even if they defy what the public wants the big question will be why you can’t win here. Short term stocks should drop dollar rise long term dollar going to get hit I’m afraid. I still think in the end you’ll find the Yen will be the biggest winner. China’s going to be peeved. EVERYBODY IS PEEVED

    The authorities really, really do care about you. Well, maybe they don’t care about certain undesirables, but you’re not one of those. And universal healthcare will be soooo efficient, with the ubiquitous RFID and more.

    Universal healthcare will mandate PREVENTIVE healthcare… great ifor mandatory cancer-inducing mammograms & mandatory cancer treatment, or for mandatory tests for non-existent viruses (e.g. HIV) and then mandatory “treatment” (lethal AZT); or for mandatory “mental health” screening and “treatment”.

    In the Soviet Union (banker-controlled experiment), you could be put away for life for “inflexibility of thought”; now in the UK you can be shoved into a mental hospital permanently for having “fixated thoughts”.

    Post the Terri Shiavo sacrifice when habeus corpus was scrapped (no, she wasn’t a vegetable, just a little damaged from an attempt to strangle her and refusal to allow therapy), the state can decide who lives and who dies. Will you always be a producing/consuming chattel, or will you become a useless eater one day?

True story : when i was younger and in primary school [ age 10-11 years old ] i had friend at school ,Glenn[ he was Dux of the school and was bright enough to have skipped a year etc he was one of those kind of guys] his father was a Bank Manager and they lived in a Bank house and paid nominal rent , one year at christmas time, i asked my buddy glenn what he got for Christmas and he said,’ nothing ‘as he said that his father said ‘that there was not enough money for christmas presents , this despite his father working at the bank and paying nominal rent ,after that i was wary of anyone who worked in a bank, what kind of person who can easily afford it ,and is not poor ,doesn’t willingly buy their children a Christmas present ? i guess some people are not only mean minded they are also mean spirited.

    Now, yes, vaccinations are not mandatory. Once all the pieces are in place, the situation will change. Keep an eye on the eugenicists parading as “ecologists”:
    http://www.wiseupjournal.com/?p=1029

    Theoretically, basic free healthcare can work. Where I grew up, people could avail themselves of government-sponsored free healthcare at hospitals, and doctors often did volunteer work as the system was better for them in those days too. Importantly, nobody needed health insurance, as medical expenses were not all that big a deal, even for the occasional operation.

    Check out the interviews and writings of EUSTACE MULLINS for background. It’s those pesky banksters again:
    http://www.whale.to/b/mullins_h.html

  78. @anythingbutgreen – though ‘free’ is the wrong word to use; it’s not free as anyone with a job still pays for it with their national insurance deduction; the costs are hugely cheaper than in the US because there is a single buyer of the drugs, etc that has a stronger bargaining hand against the pharmaceutical companies; also the administration costs are massively reduced in a single payer system

    Discernment is required with the Lauren Moret video as with all materials. The AIDS stories are always planted. Even relatively informed folks are fooled by the constant bombardment of propaganda about certain topics such as AIDS, and the relative difficulty of digging up the simple facts.

    @Dante,

    What an excellent article you posted. There are lots of articles talking about high finance which are technical. The people who understand what’s going on tend to be investors and some economists. Listening to these guys though is impossible for the majority of the population. I mean I’m putting in the hours trying to get my head around it all.

    This article though spells out in human terms what all this quantative easing means to ordinary people. It combines what Celente talks about when he talks Wall St and Main St. Celente really is talking to people.

    Anyway, in case anyone missed the article here it is below -

    @uhmm..

    I dunno, most of those who have went out of their way to tell me how happy they were, were clearly the least happy people I’ve ever met and tend to be born again christians for example.

    When people are so unhappy tmany will gladly buy into ideologies of blame. They convince themselves that those ideologies are right and that that is the reason for their happiness. They have to be happy or the ideology has falied them. Now that could be hating jews or Iraqi muslims or whatever. People were lifted up by the war on terror no? I’m not sayin that you’re wrong, I’m just not conviced by your logic.

    On another point can anyone tell me what a ‘vigilante’ is. I hear about bond vigilantes for example. Anyone?

    I agree about SARS.
    Looks like HINIa is the same scenerio. The big scare tactic was hundreds of photos of people wearing surgical masks. BOO.

    Do you have a link for your UK “rigid thinking” post?

    The problem with the US health care proposals is that the government would decide the protocol for preventive medicine. If you missed Teddy, here he is to demonstrate government waste:

    All I can say is that now I desire greatly to sneeze into Kathleen Sebelius’s face.

  87. @frances snoot – the problem with the US health care proposals is the same problem as every single other piece of legislation written there . . . from the patriot act to any law regarding science, health, energy, etc., they are all written by lobbyists FOR the industries that are supposed to regulated/goerned by the law being written . . . so obama’s health care proposal was written by and for the banker/insurance and pharma execs that would supposedly be governed by the new legislation . . . with corporate lobbyists as the toll booth operator between the people and the government that is supposed to represent the people, well it’s clear why every single piece of legislation whether from red state politician or blue state politician, republican or democrat, independent or libertarian ends up handing trillions in taxpayer money to the same exact oligarchs . ..

    @Stacy:
    Excellent point. I don’t think the laws were written by lobbyists as much as they were packaged by CFR round-table discussions and forwarded by lobbyists. What happened to Obama’s promise concerning no more lobbyists allowed?

    moneychangers in the temple…

    obama’s health care proposal was written by and for the banker/insurance and pharma execs that would supposedly be governed by the new legislation

    Banker/Insurance pharma execs operating for elite interests. (Look how Allianz group from Germany stands to profit over the CIT debacle)…

    What can we Americans do about the wretched system? Term limits for Congress? Audit the Fed? Run for the hills?

  92. Apparently the right answer for Americans is to move to a socialist country and then say America is crap and those still in it are cowards.

    Capitalism vs Socialism, a false dilemma.
    America has the best of both worlds.
    We socialize private liabilities with capitalized public assets.

  95. Max,

    The word you were looking for was:

    Coup de grace.

    Nov. 2000 was the death knell of American Democracy
    Sept. 2008 was the coup de grace.

  96. I think most Americans hate the poor and identify with the rich.
