    Pagans from the NORTH are the MOST SPIRITUALLY DISTURBED of ‘em ALL

    I’m not sure you would recognize mystery, Jim, even if it came up to you and tapped you on the shoulder.

    Keats & so many of the darlings…are Naturalists(Pantheists)…they like you worship “FORM”….not Purpose; not Mystery.

    The S0-called Enlightenment… was really the Age of Endarkment. Nothing more than Technological Materialism….Montaigne, Descartes, Bacon, Hobbes, Spinoza, Hume, Saint-Simon, Comte…..take your pick.

    BTW….the Nazarene was not Plato…..thank the Lord.

    Jim:
    I think you confuse mystery and prophesy because people were supposedly on the lookout for the ‘Nazarene’ before he showed up.

    Mystery is change in form and function.

    Frances…the Nazarene took all that came before Him & turned it upside-down & inside out. He, revoked your precious Histoouy & Nature….when you & many others speak of the nature of Reality….wht you really mean is the reality of NATURE.

    The Nazarene remains more Incomprehensible today than He was then. The Mystery is Secure. It is you & I that are at risk.

    Anyone that confuses Mystery with Prophecy has an IQ problem.(very weak thrust; very poor joust).

    Mystery is APPREHENSION: not function, not form.

    Think in terms of Personality. And think of Personality in terms of Spontaneity…..that is where the Mystery lies. There the Mystery lives within…not like previous Cosmologies that were ALL OUTSIDE….ALL INDIFFERENT….ALL INVISIBLE.

    The Nazarene revoked History…revoke Time(Hebrews)…revoke Space(Greeks)…revoked Power(Romans). For that He was crucified & has been crucified again & again each & every day since. No God worth a shit could possibly ask us to live like that…how absurd.

    Think Peter; not Paul.

    The Nazarene came on the scene to approve all that came before (the murders by Israel, women’s subjugation, the claims of a hell) without a trial on the guilty or a question of justice and then decided to appropriate truth as being essential to his own person.

    Sounds like Obama.

    Economists Opposing Fed Audit Have Undisclosed Fed Ties http://bit.ly/uTZOF – HuffPo

    “We have slept through the annihilation of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine, a war with Islam, the rendition of terrorist suspects, prisoner abuse and torture, the suppression of civil liberties, citizen surveillance, corporate greed, pandering to the rich and powerful, global warming, full spectrum dominance, imperial overstretch, and a culture of deceit. Massive military spending, multi-trillion dollar deficits and Wall Street bailouts, mounting trade deficits, and a precipitous decline in the value of the dollar have gone virtually unnoticed.

    During our long period of slumber the United States government has lost its moral authority. It is owned, operated, and controlled by Wall Street and Corporate America. The United States has become ungovernable, unfixable, and, therefore, unsustainable economically, politically, militarily, and environmentally. It has evolved into the wealthiest, most powerful, most materialistic, most racist, most militaristic, most violent empire of all times.” – Thomas Naylor

    @ Max & Stacy – Congrats on the new show. I dug it. ;-)

    Here’s some video that will likely make you both smile–Geithner being asked to resign:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/19/geithner-asked-to-resign_n_363682.html

    This comes just days after Rep. DeFazio called for both Geithner and Summers to be fired on the Ed Show; he said that “We may have to sacrifice just two more jobs to get millions back for Americans.”. ;-)

    http://www.wegoted.com/news/detail.asp?newsID=2720

    (DeFazio is big on infrastructure, and he’s right: Summers does hate infrastructure projects. Guess it doesn’t bother Larry that our infrastructure is crumbling, and engineers give our infrastructure as a whole a “D” grade.)

    The Winning Team

    It is not the wisest
    Nor the strong one
    Who holds the trophy
    Last

    Being first
    One forgets
    Those who see
    The world without
    From within

    A perimeter of violets
    No smell
    But so delicate
    The plagues wars and infantile
    Abuses

    Of the world’s armies
    Did not destroy
    The tiny green stems
    Holding the hand
    Of purity

    first class report Max and Stacy.
    the frontline documentary was called “the warning”. worth having a look at.
    so much for “the wizard” (greenspan)…the wizard of financial apocalypse…and his acolytes summers and ruben.

    thanks for the interview with Danny Schechter too

    @Sherbert: I remember that in all surprise I once noted that this in really a Crusader War of sorts…one between the West ( christians/jews) vs. the Muslims and their belief in Sharia law ( non usury financing )and the west’s fractional reserve/over leveraged usury law…and the battles are being fought on the ground as the eugenists annihilate the peasants…depopulation the earth step by step..what a world…maybe we are all supposed to have our collective heads in the ground….I guess this form of feudalism has been around from the dawn of time…I love the books by Daniel Quinn where he shows that history was the hunter/gatherers and then the agrarian culture where the more they grew the more they set out to war with their neighbors to acquire their lands for more crops..and the more their population grew the more …the more they battled with other neighbors..the agressive nature of man might have taken a different path…but not so at this juncture…Maybe Krishna Murti is right and the folks behind the movie zeitgeist are right on…but I guess we will all have to get on board first….a tough call

    Great show. Always love the content (helps to swallow the reality).

    However hard to concentrate with the distracting hypnotizing background too similar to the blood red of “The Situation Room”. It did set off Stacy’s dress nicely though & on her side a bit less distracting without the big button. (yes it was great to see her in 3D!). Is that a panic button? What has to happen for you to push it?

    Sorry to focus on that but I was so mesmerized it was hard to focus on the content. Does this replace The Edge? I noticed the preview but no show.

    Thanks again.

    “infrastructure”….I remember that before the Gulf Iraqi Freedom War the national association of engineers came out with a study that said the infrastructure NEEDED a $1.2 trillion investment to fix the roads, tunnels and bridges nationwide….notice the Minneapolis bridge that collapsed and the Bay Bridge in California as a result of poor or no maintenance…still on hold AFAIK

    @ max keiser,

    I agree with Danny Schechter in his analysis of the robbery of the century; the small elite (a financial oligarchy) dominating the economic and political decision making – a credit & loan complex (akin to the military-industrial complex) – turning criminal, aided and abetted by the corruption and complicity of mainstream media and government/regulatory agencies.

    It prompted me to check out his site:
    http://www.newsdissector.org/blog/

    He not a late-comer either, he was warning of the debt crisis by tracking the sub-prime bust, in 2006 as he said, just as that was about to trigger that crisis:
    http://i3.democracynow.org/2007/4/4/in_debt_we_trust_america_before
    Democracy Now, 4 April 2007 (from 25-40 minutes).

    http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread343208/pg1
    In Debt We Trust: America Before The Bubble Bursts (in 5 parts)

    Still, there’s nothing really new under the sun. As Marx put it:

    http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/ch30.htm
    Capital Volume III: Ch. 30: Money-Capital and Real Capital.

    “In a system of production, where the entire continuity of the reproduction process rests upon credit, a crisis must obviously occur — a tremendous rush for means of payment — when credit suddenly ceases and only cash payments have validity. At first glance, therefore, the whole crisis seems to be merely a credit and money crisis. … But the majority of these bills represent actual sales and purchases, whose extension far beyond the needs of society is, after all, the basis of the whole crisis. At the same time, an enormous quantity of these bills of exchange represents plain swindle, which now reaches the light of day and collapses; furthermore, unsuccessful speculation with the capital of other people; finally, commodity-capital which has depreciated or is completely unsaleable, or returns that can never more be realised again. The entire artificial system of forced expansion of the reproduction process cannot, of course, be remedied by having some bank, like the Bank of England, give to all the swindlers the deficient capital by means of its paper and having it buy up all the depreciated commodities at their old nominal values. Incidentally, everything here appears distorted, since in this paper world, the real price and its real basis appear nowhere, but only bullion, metal coin, notes, bills of exchange, securities. Particularly in centres where the entire money business of the country is concentrated, like London, does this distortion become apparent; the entire process becomes incomprehensible; it is less so in centres of production. …

    “It should be noted in regard to imports and exports, that, one after another, all countries become involved in a crisis and that it then becomes evident that all of them, with few exceptions, have exported and imported too much, so that they all have an unfavourable balance of payments. …

    “It follows from the above that commodity-capital, during crises and during periods of business depression in general, loses to a large extent its capacity to represent potential money-capital. The same is true of fictitious capital, interest-bearing paper, in so far as it circulates on the stock exchange as money-capital. Its price falls with rising interest. It falls, furthermore, as a result of the general shortage of credit, which compels its owners to dump it in large quantities on the market in order to secure money. It falls, finally, in the case of stocks, partly as a result of the decrease in revenues for which it constitutes drafts and partly as a result of the spurious character of the enterprises which it often enough represents. This fictitious money-capital is enormously reduced in times of crisis, and with it the ability of its owners to borrow money on it on the market. However, the reduction of the money equivalents of these securities on the stock exchange list has nothing to do with the actual capital which they represent, but very much indeed with the solvency of their owners.“

    But don’t forget Marx is verboten! :D

    In practice, similar observations have to be filtered through inferior commentators who may not even be aware of that Marx already described the causes and effects of a ‘Credit Crunch’ in detail.

    Max is much funnier than Bill Maher. B.M. would never dare offend his media masters again. He’s a buffoon who props up the two party one party system, by steering dialogue into the retarded political discourse of right vs. left. When it should be more like Max spells it out: Plutocrats in a master/servant relationship with the rest of us.

    You are the best! However, I was worried about that bloodsucking vampire squid lurking behind Max and reaching it’s tentacles over toward Stacy. Careful!

    If your web designer doesn’t know about the bloodsucking vampire squid on Broad St. then this is proof of our collective subconscious.

    Max and Stacy–as you state, the large home builders get to use losses to off set profits back to 2004. The home builders are 1. bankrupt, and/or 2. heavily indebted to Banks. so the bankruptcy trustee gets the tax refunds and pays off creditors–the BANKS. bend over again taxpayer.
