Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Geithner: I’ll take the blue pill.

Max what are your views in the CDS market? Too big and complex to worry about, too big to fail or a financial end of world nuclear bomb?

Max when Wall Street gangsters hijack congress for the bailout package I knew that it wouldn’t work. you cannot pour good money unto bad ones, this is contrary to sound finance you cannot reward failure. This is financial terrorism at its best. They are the ones that created the crisis in the first place. I envisioned that the bailout fund will find it way back into the pocket of the same financial jackals. The foreclosure is continuing, people are still loosing their jobs at alarming rate, companies are still going bust my question is” where is the money gone?”
If it is not on main street where it is?
Wake up Americans Obama promised you change that you can believe in is this the change that you are looking for?
what will it takes for you to wake from your slumber is another financial crash of course which is imminent
it is high time you hold the Obama Administration accountable for the looting of your money stolen by the treasury from you it is your money, you will have to pay it through taxation demand your money back!

In its early stages, the Bank was buying almost £6bn worth of debt (almost exclusively government bonds) every week.

It seems that QE in the Uk is just a term to disgiuse more money being gien to the banks. The system is so corrupt it is now making me angry. The banks have more say in my life and how our once lovely country operates than elected people do? Whats more worrying is that the politicians have allowed this to happen. We have a criminal gang or mafia running the uk and its time to change it for good!!! I would like a constitutional change and adopt a american type constitution, Of the people for the people and not the Banking crooks!!

You should read her book, Web of Debt, one of the best written and well researched books on the economic history of our banking system. It sounds boring, but it’s not. The film “Zeitgeist” (and the addendum) covers the material as well and it is free to watch. She consulted on the film. Also worth a watch for it’s coverage of central banking. The other stuff you may or may not want to watch.

============
Psychopaths (pure evil: the absence of ‘humanity’)
Sociopaths (power-seeking apparatchiks)
Characteropaths (brain-damaged people acting as above)
Narcissists (unaware attention-seeking apparatchiks)
Useful Idiots (false consciousness-infected sheeple)
Normals (unaware herd-following sheeple)

Outsiders (anticipating the actions of all of above)

In the lands of the American Imperialists, a lot of skilled immigrants and intellectuals fall into the outsiders category.

The time I have lived in the land of the Imperialists, I have never associated with 2nd or 3rd or Nth generation passported Americans.

There should be a category there for “Total Wastes of Space” a category that practically does not exist in Canada, Australia or NZ — where 0.1% or less is of this category is barely sustainable.

At least 10% of the US population is a total waste of space, irregardless of wealth, income or education — and most of these people somehow are able to pass off as normal.

You cannot recover from an economic disaster when you have such a large population of useless people.

It has been rumored elsewhere that the GCC’s new currency will be partially backed by precious metals. Max mentions in passing in this episode that this is what his sources tell him as well.

The really tantalizing rumor concerns whether OPEC will adopt an oil-for-Khaleeji (Gulf Dinar) policy. If they did, only the Fed would buy US T-bills. That may be what it requires to wake up enough people in the US so that real monetary and banking reform can occur at home. Public support for the Audit the Fed bill shows that momentum for such reform is already starting to build.

@Tony, Max has already called for the Fed to be dismantled, in at least one previous interview I’ve heard. Can’t wait to hear how he puts it in rant mode.
