    Not to sure about the link between Israel & the birthers. Any real evidence of that? The lawyer Orly Taitz is a Zionist for sure but she has now been disowned by the other notable birther Phil Berg for her continuously idiotic ramblings during her own court appearances. He even called for her to be disbarred last week on Webster Tarpleys show. She either has a few loose screws up there or is some kind of agent provocateur out to discredit the birther movement.

  2. Max pease bring back the clark kent glasses and bedhead/faux hawk! I really enjoyed that look,. though only saw it in one video,. .

    Another great show. Will the sheeple march to the grinders willingly,. or will some rise up? Giveing the address is a nice touch.

  3. @Naomi Thanks, My thoughts exactly!

  4. Chalce:

    Thanks for the video, it has an uplifing premise. Thank God.

  5. Illya,

    Thank you for the article on Russia and their vote regarding the Goldstone paper and report.

    Wayne Madsen wrote a while back that Israel was behind the funding for the birther movement. Thereby going after Obama and sending him a message…….a bent elbow with an extended middle finger, a description Max so humorously invoked in one of his interviews.

    The Mossad went after Clinton via a honeypot operation (Monica) because Clinton was putting pressure on Israel over occupation and territories.

    In the book “Final Judgment” Michael Collins Piper substantiates that JFK ran amok with Ben Gurion and Israel over access to nuclear power. He says in his book Mossad, elements in the CIA, political agents assassinated JFK.

    The Mossad, IPAC control the government in both the Senate and Congress. Many of those in the governing bodies are being blackmailed regarding sex, and money laundering……

    It’s time the world and the US throw off these criminals.

    Great links.

  8. @Max

    At 2:39… “Generally speaking we get the joke”.

    The joke is then defined by the speaker. He’s apparently quoting some adversary, not reinforcing these ideas.

    I can even see this is taken out of context and needs correction. Instead, vacuous vultures move in to twist this into anti-socialist, anti-communist distortions and defecate on one of the greatest revolutionaries in the world.

    This is a classic Alex Jones, counter-revolutionary tactic. I’m sure his new film, like the Obama Deception, will be more of the same. Co-opting comrades like KRS-1 and Michael Hudson for legitimacy, while denigrating them on a deeper level.

    Sorry if I contradict myself: man’s nature is to war, and the nature of man wars against man’s own nature. Man contradicts himself. Of course my perspective.

  10. frances snoot

    @Warburg:
    I think war is a part of the nature of humans.

    http://scienceblogs.com/primatediaries/2009/07/the_politics_of_human_nature_1.php

    Of course, being American I don’t agree that humans needs to be controlled by a monarchy or Hegelian monstrosity to resist their subprime urges. Goodness, war happens no matter who is in charge as evidenced by history and reality.

    We need to teach the children that war is an atrocity against human nature. It is like the leviathan Hobbes describes: the state of man is constantly warring with himself.

  11. frances snoot

    Excellent video, Chalcie. I really enjoyed it.

  12. frances snoot

    Signs? Who is staring wars today? It ain’t Russia and it ain’t China.

    Illya, they’re not called “wars” anymore! The term is now “humanitarian relief efforts” or “peace”.

  13. frances snoot

    Sheep cannot be capitalists.

    sorry, Illya
    Anyone can be a capitalist, all it takes is access to capital. Turtles can be capitalists.

    Sheep lack imagination, but if they have capital they can invest in greener pastures.

    I think you are referring to the free market.

  14. @Canada/JK … does CNBC transmit the enclosed video to Germany?

    Yes , this particular one works .
    However, I often find that “some” CNBC videos are blocked here…. especially the ones I really want to see !

  15. Signs? Who is staring wars today? It ain’t Russia and it ain’t China.

  16. warburg sidney

    I believe we are pretty much in the dark about who controls what and we should indeed look for signs!

  17. warburg sidney

    Illya & frances, are wars triggered by national interests (russia and china are not part of the BIS) or are they triggered by banking interests (russia and china are part of the BIS)….. anyway in both cases war is evident! Still the question stands?

  19. Max,
    Just wanted to say that it is a pleasure to watch and listen to what you have to say.
    You have the smarts and guts to say and report what many men and women in your profession should be doing. Also your saying what the viewing public is saying in their minds with all this pre engineered, well choreographed chaos going on now.
    The way you report the financial news and do your interviews is very important but you also deliver the information in such a way that it is easy to grasp and you keep it likely and funny many times…without losing the seriousness,which is great. Not that stuffy professor or monotone delivery we watch and hear so many times.
    Keep up the great work.
    We need more reporting professional like yourself…not to sound patronizing…It’s refreshing for a change..

  22. The incestuous marriage of Hollyweird and the Whore House

    The interlocking of Hollywood and national security apparatuses remains as tight as ever: ex-CIA agent Bob Baer told us, “There’s a symbiosis between the CIA and Hollywood” and revealed that former CIA director George Tenet is currently, “out in Hollywood, talking to studios.” Baer’s claims are given weight by the Sun Valley meetings, annual get-togethers in Idaho’s Sun Valley in which several hundred of the biggest names in American media –including every major Hollywood studio executive– convene to discuss collective media strategy for the coming year. Against the idyllic backdrop of expansive golf courses, pine forests and clear fishing lakes, deals are struck, contracts are signed, and the face of the American media is quietly altered. The press has yet to be granted permission to report on these corporate media gatherings and so the exact nature of what is discussed at the events has never been publicly disclosed. It is known, however, that Tenet was keynote speaker at Sun Valley in 2003 (whilst still CIA head) and again in 2005.

  23. There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
    There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
    Don’t try to make me feel guilty
    I’m so tired of hearing you cry
    There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
    If you ask me I’ll say it’s just fine
    There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
    I’m so tired of hearing you whine
    About the revolution
    Bringin’ down the rich
    When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!
    If it ain’t one thing
    Then it’s the other
    Any cause that crosses your path
    Your heart bleeds for anyone’s brother
    I’ve got to tell you you’re a pain in the ass
    You criticize with plenty of vigor
    You rationalize everything that you do
    With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
    And everybody is crazy but you
    You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
    From a suburban family and you never really had to work
    And you tell me that we’ve got to get back
    To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
    You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
    Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
    What the hell do you know about suffering and pain . . .
    (Repeat first verse)
    (Repeat chorus)
    There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
    There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
    There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism

  24. I think America should realize Goldman Sachs raped America NOW IT’S TIME TO CASTRATE GOLDMAN SACHS!!!!!!!

  25. GATA is right about gold manipulation, Hathaway tells King World News

    Eric King of King World News today did an excellent interview with Tocqueville Gold Fund manager John Hathaway, who remarked that GATA is right about government manipulation of the gold market and that circumstances are developing for an “astonishing” rise in the gold price, the gold market being so small and real metal being so scarce relative to money creation. Gold, Hathaway said, is “climbing a wall of worry,” with little enthusiasm for the metal.

    You can listen to the interview with Hathaway at the King World News Internet site here:

  27. frances snoot

    Like I said, China and Russia are not members of the BIS cabal nor do they want to be because the price for membership is subjugation and neither party have much interest in that.

    I don’t agree with this. The prize of membership is exploitation as evidenced by the recent lucrative group activities under the auspices of peace and humanitarian aide. Didn’t China receive oil contract bids after helping finance the Iraqi endeavour?

  28. Who is in the cabal according to Illya?

    I believe I listed them by name on the preceding page.

  29. @marietta

    I understand well how the drug industry works. The initial investment is recouped rapidly upon a successful product launch, such as Zoloft for example. Also much of the research is carried out essentially for free by universities. Then you have the cross-pollination of the same drug companies contracting out work to other companies they own in an endless incestuous cycle of money laundering and tax evasion.

    In the US alone last year they made $200 billion net profit, factor in the ancillary companies they own and you could probably double that number. And it’s only going to get worse once Hopey McChange get’s through with you :)

  30. frances snoot

    Illya:
    Who is in the cabal according to Illya?

  31. frances snoot

    Oh, Illya. You can continue to play risk with your game pieces. I don’t really care: the rhetoric is ridiculous, but if it suits you, it suits me.

    But the Russian Central Bank is a member bank of the BIS hub. The annex is a list of the member banks.

  32. @frances

    Here are some excerpts from your BIS link regarding the Russian central bank,

    Most central banks’ statutes contain the strong implication that financial outcomes are to be ranked lower than policy outcomes, though only in Russia does one find an express statement that profitability is not an objective of the central bank

    Indeed, when price stability is not specifically stated as an objective in the law, there is generally no legally dominant objective, and instead a broad definition of currency value is used.However, among the jurisdictions that do not follow this broad pattern are China, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa: they all operate under a legally dominant objective even if they have no price-related one.

    And your other citation is merely a link to the CBR website.

    Like I said, China and Russia are not members of the BIS cabal nor do they want to be because the price for membership is subjugation and neither party have much interest in that.

  34. I’m going to have to take issue with another point by Ilya.

    I confess that I have worked for big Pharma (1993 to 1997) and it is a little disingenuous to claim that it only costs a company $0.10 to make a pill. While the net profit of drug companies is higher than most (average is about 6% for all companies while drug companies make 9-11%), there is more risk to capital so larger return is needed to attract investment. And the hidden costs for drugs is huge!
    1 BS microbiologist wages and all other compensation, insurance, etc (this is me)
    $70,000
    supplies and equipment consumed by above reseacher (1yr)
    $200,000
    number of scientists working on cure for alzheimers
    100 (half of which are PhD scientist that earn about 120,000/year)
    project ran about 10yrs
    2 drugs went to trials
    (dont know how much this costs but 30 or so BS level scientist were flying each week to destination all over US where trials were being held, plus scientists who were compiling and submitting data to FDA, this took at least a year for each drug)
    RESULTS
    both drugs were found to be ineffective in stage 3 trials.
    A 3rd drug was brought to phase one trial but was stopped because management didn’t think it would be much better than available treaments.

    This is the typical outcome for 9/10 drugs that go to trials.
    All this cost has to be paid for by the drugs that actually reach the market.
    The drug must be patented as soon as it is synthesized and screened for potential usefullness because a competitor could scoop you if you don’t. So the clock starts running on your patent but there are at least 10years before FDA approval so you loose out on about half the patent.

    And these are numbers from 10years ago.

    Financial Stability Board out of Basel wants to cut off the capital to the unconnected. That is why the drumbeats of the media echo with the ‘bad banker’ nuance. It is paid shillery for a small fraction of the very well connected and powerful.

    That is why it is mainstream. To drum up public acceptance before the basel mandates and regulatory actions against hedge funds and banks and traders take place.

  38. I’m afraid I can’t see what alternative thinkers see in Putin. Why for example did he go after certain oligarchs (Kodorovsky…sp?) yet is friendly with others (Abramovich)? The war crimes perpetrated in Chechnya were as widespread as US crimes in Afghanistan & Iraq and there’s certainly something fishy about those oh-so-convenient terror attacks in Moscow in ’99 which lit the fuse for war.

  39. frances snoot

    @Marietta:
    It’s good to have your views here! And I have been caught in blatant stupidity often, so you needn’t worry. Ask away. After Illya and I fight over the answer you should get a fairly well-rounded tale.

    I wonder if anyone ever understand the Matrix anyway as it is shifty.

  40. frances snoot

    The central bank of Russia is a state institution directly answerable to the state Duma, and half it’s profits go directly into the federal budget. It is not run out of Basel by the BIS.

    Here’s a list of other BIS central bank “non-affiliates” web sites.

    Oh and if you look at the annex,

    http://www.bis.org/publ/othp04.pdf

    you will note that the Central Bank of the Russian Federation RU is listed as a part of the list of central banks and monetary authorities represented on the Central Bank Governance Network.

    I absolutly do not think you are harsh…
    I respect all the people who share their opinions here. i am fairly new to the realization of the Matrix and I am just trying to learn. I ask dumb questions but sometimes I think that is the best way to learn (you know, make absolutly no assumptions and let people defend their arguments to get a better sense of where they come from.)
    My instincts are to agree with you that Russia and China are not to be trusted. Maybe its as simple as this:all the sociopaths are now fighting each other tooth and nail for ultimate control while we all sit below and wonder who will strike the final blow.

    Thanks for the great vid. My guess is that he never really thought about these things before, always voted republican to defend God and country, lost his job in construction, sat down in front of the computer with a lot of time on his hands and finally learned what’s really going on.

  52. frances snoot

    @Marietta:
    I hope I don’t seem harsh: I realize I have a perspective only, yet am right particular to my own view!

    I think Russia is thoroughly colonized by the West after the Summers/Rubin/Clinton debacle. I think that is why Medvedev said to Obama, “We are all comrades now.” I am unsure about China. Zhou is brilliant: the central bank head. He enlisted the IMF to secure the country’s reserves: sdr access and a way to exchange US Treasuries for sdrs. But that is a risky venue. IMF will retain hegemony (US interests always proceeded from the IMF). Both countries will sign on to the g20 governance; which is just more of the same/same with an extra vote for the European central bank.

    As far as “in the club”, the club is being run out of the BIS bank Financial Stability Board and Basel Committee, London, and the EU central bank. National sovereignties are a front for banking interests.

    Why no word about N. Korea? They are also in direct defiance of the recent UN SC resolution on nuclear ambition.

    The new order most probably will not resemble the old in any way. One wonders if the g20 structure and the sdr are only temporary deceptions.

    Roberts, of course, was correct in his analysis of the US. He was incorrect that the situation is a recent phenomenon.

  53. Mr Unemployed

    Franny, are you perchance a ghost writer of the Nin/Miller genre?

  54. @ Max

    Always a great show when you have Paul Craig Roberts on. He looks a little scraggly, but he still writes some pretty good articles. Thanks for making him laugh Max, that’s what we should all do, laugh and laugh at these criminals, and keep laughing as we walk them to the gallows. I betcha Hitler didn’t like to be laughed at, neither do those Goldman Sachs nincompoops, but they are funny as hell, and they are gonna be even funnier when they are dangling by a rope.

  55. Mr Unemployed

    I meant within the context of CAPitalism

  56. @marietta – the answer is NO. Putin is a hero for showing the traitorous oligarchs out the door and China is doing business with other countries, not threatening them with death if they don’t hand over resources to them after first incurring massive debt (see Confessions of an Economic Hitman.)

    Doing business and offering an alternative is China’s greatest sin:

    http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1884779_1884782_1884769,00.html

    In 2006, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, foreign investment in Africa reached $48 billion, overtaking foreign aid for the first time. That gap has only widened, reflecting a quadrupling of foreign investment since 2000. As the senior adviser in Africa for the International Monetary Fund (IMF), David Nellor, noted in a report last September, sub-Saharan Africa today resembles Asia in the 1980s. “The private sector is the key driver,” wrote Nellor, “and financial markets are opening up.” War is down. Democracy is up. Inflation and interest rates are in single digits. Terms of trade have improved. Crucially, said Nellor, “growth is taking off.” The IMF puts Africa’s average annual growth for 2004 to ’08 at more than 6% — better than any developed economy — and predicts the continent will buck the global recessionary trend to grow nearly 3.3% this year.

    “It is a win-win solution.” Dambisa Moyo, who wrote Dead Aid, says those who need convincing about Africa should ask themselves if they are convinced about China, “because if you back China, you’re backing Africa.” Ecobank CEO Ekpe says part of the explanation for China’s zeal for Africa is a new way of looking at Africans. “[The Chinese] are not setting out to do good,” he says. “They are setting out to do business. It’s actually much less demeaning.” Andrew Rugasira, 40, runs Good African Coffee, a Ugandan company he set up in 2004 to supply British supermarkets under the motto “Trade, not aid.” He is emblematic of a new generation of African antiaid, antistate entrepreneurs. For Rugasira, aid not only “undermines the creativity to lift yourself out of poverty” but also “undermines the integrity and dignity of the people. It says, These are people who cannot figure out how to develop.” Aid even manages to silence those it is meant to help.

    “African governments become accountable to Western donors,” says Rugasira, “and Africa finds itself represented not by Africans but by Bono and Bob Geldof. I mean, how would America react if Amy Winehouse dropped in to advise them on the credit crisis?”

  60. frances snoot

    Deference is an act of egoistic self-interest.

  61. frances snoot

    so if everyone agrees that China and Russia are in mortal combat to save the earth from the US/EU/central bankster puppeteers

    China and Russia are controlled by central banks operating under a BIS central hegemony. Both countries are at war with their own citizens. They hardly seem capable of rescuing anything.

  62. Mr Unemployed

    we need to free ourselves from the paradigm that we need a boss. DOWN WITH BOSSES with deference to Mike King

  63. so if everyone agrees that China and Russia are in mortal combat to save the earth from the US/EU/central bankster puppeteers, the question still is “same as the old boss?”

    Maybe Max thinks we are all stupid and just like to be entertained.

  67. Mr Unemployed

    but Dorthy… I thought Max knew better than to have someone like Roberts on his show!

  68. As for Roberts, he’s a come a long way over the past few years that I’ve been reading him. Not very long ago he still bought the 9/11 bullshit, now he acknowledges it was inside job. Considering he was once an establishment guy, a true believer, that is a gigantic turnaround – and given those credentials his word carries more weight in certain circles than say Alex Jones.

  70. If it is true that China stands in the way of Western global hegemony, why did China vote yes on the Afghanistan mandates and resolutions, backing American war-imperialism?

    That’s an easy one: if the US are willing to commit geopolitical and economic suicide in the graveyard of empires why on earth would China stand in their way?

  71. frances snoot

    Dorothy, do you mean that the US is not the good guy?

    I’m afraid so. We thought this was Kansas, but it is a long way from home.

    And the wars were not fought against Communist aggressors?

    No, honey. That was a story so people could feel good about being greedy and forcing US culture and products around the world. If the US had no fought wars to install central banks in every country, the local people would have a market for their goods at home and not have lost their lands.

    Oh. But Mr. Roberts said that the country was good before the Clinton bad guys gave the Treasury to the banks.

    Try to forget the snarky grinned man, dear. He is only a Republican.

  75. I agree with Ilya. China and Russia stand in the way of total Western hegemony.

    I’ll never forget what that nasty neocon, David Brooks, said to another nasty neocon, Charlie Rose, “…everything was going along fine then China happened.” So, what exactly did he mean? Anyone?

    The Treasury and the IMF are so solidly co-joined that one might even mistake them for the same entity.

  77. frances snoot

    Watching Mr. Roberts laugh his way through that interview was extremely unpleasant. How can Max claim that we need single payer health care, and then cheer one of the architects of Reaganomics? It jars the jaw. It chenches the fists. Mr. Roberts claims that the Treasury was pristine under his watch and corrupt immediately following are a blatant lie.

    Roberts can laugh as he derides the very outcome of the policies his administration instituted. And the whole macabre Goldman Sachs recital: over and over. Goldman acts in alliance with various firms and partners including Allianz Group and American Express. Goldman acts on bequest of the elite backing the bank.

    And of course, no mention of the IMF. Geithner worked for the IMF and the BIS before attaining his position. The Treasury and the IMF are co-joined twins.

    I think Chinese tradition is to ingrained to the collective. It will take many hundreds of years if ever for true individual freedom in China.
    Macchiavelli advised the Prince that it was much easier to control a population that never knew freedom and impossible to control one that had.

  79. That’s assuming you believe the situation in China is static. Clearly that is not the case.

  80. @Ilya
    So it’s back to the oldest story in the book, Euro/Amerocentric racism.
    But the Chinese don’t exactly allow their citizens to be free. I don’t know which is worst, the American illusion of freedom or the Chinese reality of no freedom.

  81. @marietta

    Russia and China want no part of these vermin. That’s why they are the “enemy”.

    China has the biggest labour force on the planet; Russia has among the world’s largest reserves of oil, gas, gold, uranium, etc, fresh water, arable land, etc. Do the math.

    If they can somehow avoid a nuclear showdown with the US, by 2030 Russia will have by far the highest GDP in the world and China will be twice as big an economy as the US is today.

    Remember what that douchebag Albright said about Russia? “It’s not fair that one country should possess so much natural wealth”.

    Considering who and what she represents that is as close to a Declaration of War as you can get.

  83. @Ilya
    Didn’t notice any chinese or russian names on the list. Do you think China and Russia leaders are really fighting these guys or do you thing they are just trying to cut a deal to get in on the action and save their skins?

  84. Very, very interesting thought brought up by Max that the plans to come may include the pillar institutions of the US banking structure to fail to create deflation to add value to the US dollar at a time when US Asian creditors and competitors are rapidly divesting themselves of the dollar.

  85. Hopey McChange has a PLAN:

    1. Eliminate Medicare/Medicaid
    2. Eliminate Social Security

    That clears up $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. It will be sold to the sheople as “reform” and they shall applaud it.

    Then they will raise interests rates to prop up the dollar for a few years and pay for military expenditures.

    De-industrialization will continue unabated.

    Complete collapse of US economy and hyperinflation by 2015. Think Zimbabwe but with a huge military.

    That can only lead to one thing: global nuclear war fought on behalf of Rockefeller, Lazard, Rothschild, Warburg, Montagu, Schroder, Drexel, Harriman, Loeb, Stillman, Schiff, Morgan, Goldman-Sachs, etc. All of these people have dual citizenships: US-Israel, UK-Israel, France-Israel, Germany-Israel.

    In fact, the entire world economy and about two thirds of the entire wealth of planet earth is directly controlled and owned by less than ten thousand people all incestuously involved with each other, who are beyond any laws, and answerable to NO ONE.

    If they decide we need a nuclear war then we will have one. Period. I they decide the world population needs to be culled by half then that is what is going to happen. Period.

    Until this basic issue is addressed all other debate is utterly meaningless.

  86. Totally agree about Grayson. I love that guy. after he grilled little Fed lawyer dweeb during Adit the Fed hearings, I actually sent him a campaign contribution.

  87. Now that I’m “awake” I look at NPR and PBS shows for what they are: statist propaganda tools as much as anything on MSM (from CNN and FOX on down.)

    @marietta

    You should Alan Grayson to your list of those who are really looking out for the public’s interests

  89. yeah I agree. I thought it was clever how they blamed it all on Libertarianism when the situation was nothing like a Libertarian market. They didn’t mention once that Libertarianism doesn’t mean socialized risk and capitalized profits.

  90. just mean Democrats vs Republican paradigm where Dems are always standing up for the little guy and Repubs are always screwing everyone. The majority are of both parties screwing the little guy and the pols with no power are really looking out for the public’s interests (like Ron Paul and Kucinich)

  91. @marietta

    The Frontline piece was devised to direct public anger away from the Kleptocracy (i.e. the U.S. government) and towards capitalism and the free market, both of which is non-existent in the U.S. We have crony-capitalism instead.

  92. mariatta there has not been gov for a long time. what do you mean by dems

  93. Here is great documentary of Brooksley Born vs. Alan Greenspan called “The Warning”
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/warning/view/
    Only complaint is that Frontline seems to give Dems a pass. Oh, the poor Dems are just clueless and get dragged into these things by mean Repubs! They never seem to get it that they are both on the same team.

  94. jump down turn around stacey’s a private eye

  95. stacey will find the frickin gold. hint ask steve harper. stacey hubert, you private eye.

  96. Another person from the Administration quoting Mao? Hmmmm. Methinks it is a bit fishy.

    I think this is just a red herring to keep the masses divided: better to rage against a supposed socialist than risk public realization that both “parties” are the same and that we no longer have a Republic but a Kleptocracy.

  97. Like the most recent Trojan Horse Russian Revolution…this Amerikan Revolution-Coup d’etat came from the TOP( the STATE REVOLTED against the Masses///as they did during the Civil war-WW1 & WW2-Cold War)….most curious by definition. And, of course, POWER REMAINS CRIMINAL…like the Union man said…”by the power of a gun”. The Medici & Alexander are soo, soo Jealous.

  98. jump down turn around where’s the fricken gold

    It was a small one but I loved the explosion! Hahaha and the little wimper afterwards was a nice touch too.
    Kaaabooommmm!! Eowrworoew.
    Thats the sound of Goldman bankers dining on themselves when there is no one left to dine on.
    I am imagining in my mind a group of bankers eating so much that they begin eating their legs without realising it AS THEY HAVE NO FEELING left. Then they get to their navels and make that noise Eowrworoew, “look what we have done!”

  102. Aww, no more Astroboy hair.

  103. think of all this as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th Glorious Amerikan Revolution.

    Please tell Mr Roberts former Under Secretary of Treasury during Reagan working for Donald Regan….that YES there were derivatives under his “watch”…in fact that’s when “securitization”-Black-Sholes began eating the Market.

    Mr Roberts did not conceive that all the mischief his adminsistration was creating for others abroad would come home to consume him…or, did he?? We are all Nicaraquans NOW!!….

    Edmund Burke observed at the time of the American revolution….referring to India primarily….”that the lawbreakers over there will soon be the lawbreakers here”….I assure Mr Roberts is conversant with Edmund Burke(a Whigs whig)

    Like Don Corleone said…” keep your enemies close”…one agent after another.

    Out of curiosity – if you have time – does CNBC transmit the enclosed video to Germany? (It works OK here.)
    I ask because a few USA TV networks (eg ABC) will not transmit to Canada (I presume outside of USA).

  110. Well, at least the Union fellah is being “frank”….I think “they” too are so confused; that they’ve inadvertently switched the spin & the truth….now all the losses Gov, Corp, Household are right where they always existed & always were intended to be….from the producer & the consumer to the “we the people”(taxpayer)…..NOW, does everyone one understand the “purpose”of the STATE…the “purpose” of the Constitution(Corporation).

    Now, does everyone understand Danny Shays & the Whiskey Rebellion….six yrs before & right at the time of the “CONSTITUTION…..please recall that 8 short yrs after the Constitution the Alien & Sedition Acts were invoked….modern day Patriot & Military Commissions & Executive orders phenomena. Both John Tyler & John Randolph understood this whole SCAM precisely & clearly 200 yrs ago…if you were to read them today…you would call them eloquent prophets(prophets do not see the future; they see the present & the past).

  111. some people they are millionaires. some people they can’t keep decent clothes on there backs. ya’ll

  112. Hi Max,
    Love your show, you are doing a great job, but I think Obama and his croonies are having the best time in their lives ripping off the world.
    I wish you would have asked Dr. Paul Craig Roberts how to get rid of these evil loathsome creatures that run Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and City Group, their has to be a way to rid the world of these aliens.

  113. not gonna be 9 years 2 max. i don’t mean you max. metal baby. you got it oh ya. ya’ll

  114. ok…..that slave song was DAMN funny.

    i fell off my chair.

  115. Max, you need to sing more. You are so cute when you sing!!!!!!

  116. Excellent program.
    Amazing information, especially coming from a former Reagan official.
    Whereas GS has been able to operate in ‘secrecy’ since 1869, the (eventual) dissemination of the truth via the Net will be their undoing.
    I still refuse to underestimate the wrath of the American people. There will be a run on pitchforks before too long (made in China of course).

    Again, Dr. Roberts’ new essay:

    http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts10222009.html

  117. Phil…I totally agree with you…they got rid of the guy with teeth…they feared him…I mean you had a President fool around in the Oval Office (without giving up office…just a point..not a judgment call) and then this guy(while I don’t agree with what he did) goes to a call girl and is booted pronto? Does that make sense given that half these scoundrels have mistresses and fill their libido’s outside their home? Either he wanted out or they wanted him out but there’s no way that was the reason.

  118. Hmm… anyone care to guess what the consequences would be of a private citizen following Max’s advice and “bombing” GS? You’d be handing them a present!

    You’d be safer to advocate assassinations and medieval forms of execution rather than bombings…

  119. PS@MUST LISTEN …. Spitzer WS hit
