Alright. Twice a week! Party time baby!!
This will do me now – just woke up at 2.30 on my day off!

Google wikepedia
I wonder if it was beta testing phase
And I noticed the same shit happen 3 weeks ago
I could access Gmail yahoo
Facebook was also down could’nt access it
Dunno If the server was rebooting
But Google was working all the time

Geithner’s defense ( for keeping AIG secrets secret ) will probably be that the positions held by GS, JPM and the other big (bullion) Banksters are so interconnected ( through AIG ) that if the secrets came out ( as they should have at EOY2007 ), then the whole ponzi FRS system would collapse overnight.
There is clearyl no other plausible explanation. So … this means that the system is ALREADY BK and has been for over 2 years IMO.
All of the new (& now old) TARP/HARP/TALF/HALF/HEMP/… PIMP etc. instruments are purely more of the vacuous crap to keep the game going.
BTW … Thx , Nice show … nice ladies !

Finally … I spelled this out PLAINLY over 2 years ago.
( that GS stated in their SEC Q-fiancial reports that they made big profits by going short on real estate )

Still, I suppose maybe now they’ll at least listen to Janet !

At Goldman Sachs we are in reality in the toxic waste business. Quite clear. You sell the american dream fo stupid foreigners (like Iceland ?, for sure), who eat the garbadge thinking it’s triple A etc….. It’s american. It’s from New-York, It’s magic.
You take a scrumpcious commission on what equates to radioactive waste from the US banking system and if everything fails you dump the shit on the taxpayer’s shoulders. These people should be courtmarshalled and put away for good. Slave state operated by plantation bosses from Goldman Satan Sachs. What a great business model.

Only in America … sick !
The United States / California is too busy writing more parking tickets for street sweepers, driving tickets on the FREE-ways, and then complain that there’s too much traffic and too much smog.
The California debacle is just starting. These idiots think that writing parking tickets will wring more money out of an over-tapped and nearly extinct middle class.
@ STACY – Darrell Issa –
The guy’s name is pronounced “Eye-Sah”. Issa was the guy who spent hundreds of thousands of his money to get rid of Gray Davis. Issa donated that money to recall Gov. Davis around 2002. So, Issa is about as Republican as they come. With the politically agnostic point of view of this blog, know that history about Issa. He’s about as partisan as they come.
You can’t separate Issa’s work on Geithner from his district’s history also. I believe Countrywide was based in or near Issa’s district. He may have also been a “Friend of Angelo” like Dodd.
Good to hear some talk about Synthetic CDO I asked about that some time ago. Informative show thanks. It is not easy to get a tiny loose grip on this stuff but at least I’m trying.
Hoping the subject of Option ARMs (adjustable rate mortgage) can be discussed in the future as well? The thin ice could start cracking late this year or next year and it has the potential to be bigger than the subprime.

@ Phil \ G People saying it’s her own fault.
Ya that’s true its sick, actually its the level of mental degradation population go through. Instead of standing against injustice and tyranny they start blaming themselves for the abusive behavior of their masters. Our Masters abuse us cause we did something wrong.
Its always a big challenge to turn this kind of thinking around.
Remember that $2.3 trillion went missing when an Israeli was in charge of finances at the Pentagon, his name is Dov Zakheim.
So surely they *can* repay the $60 billion, with the other money they probably stole from us.
@ Janet Tavakoli -
@ STACY
Thank you for your comments which are cogent, rational, and well-communicated.
Your analysis of the financial circumstances and effect can also be correlated to healthcare.
I have reached the conclusion that the medical budgets in California are being routed out of the United States through various “insurance” vehicles. These vehicles are sending US tax dollars through various public non-profit, private-non-profit, and private for-profit corporations.
These funds, flushed through hospitals or medical groups, ends up in off-shore bank accounts and “investments”.
These money schemes are apparently off-the-table for federal or state investigators, but are linked directly to the derivatives.
The same mentality that created the CDO is the mentality that created the HMO and the feudalistic approach to healthcare that is tied to HMO medicine.

Israel should pay the $60 billion in pre-emptive war reparations.
Just take the money and divide it by the number of nuclear warheads they possess. Assign that amount to the most likely target of each warhead. Then figure out who is going to die, and pay them their share of the offending warhead’s assigned value.
It should come with a nice note too.

I liked the chart, but median household income is filtering out those who don’t have a household, and if people are also packing into fewer households to compensate for less income as individuals, it’s hiding that too.
If it were an inflation-indexed chart relating median personal (not household) income including the houseless, versus Wall Street bonuses, then it would better show that these bonuses are commission checks cut on the profits made impoverishing Americans.
Anyways…
@Will … Banksters advise dumping gold.

@Amandip Singh … … Its always a big challenge to turn this kind of thinking around.

I thought this might be a good quote for Stacy, since it appears she is quite out of touch with regards to the Tea Partiers.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
But [San Francisco Mayor Gavin] Newsom said the Republican resurgence in Massachusetts suggests “there’s real intensity and fervor out there, as represented by the Tea Party” activists expressing anger at government spending and at job losses.
“This is real,” he said. “At our own peril, we dismiss these tea parties as … some sort of isolated extremism. … It’s not.”

Really worried
around 15:00 when Janet talks about the implausibility that these bankers didn’t know they were selling AAA rated toxic waste, the name ANDY FASTOW came to my mind. It makes perfect sense that this entire catastrophe with credit derivatives was inspired by the CFO of Enron, Andy Fastow. This guy taught GS, MS, CS etc. how to turn shit into gold.
What was the impact to the real productive economy from OTC Derivatives which started 1980, The peak of “stated” inflation and real wages in America.
Did they merely provide a vehicle to siphon wealth from the real economy and mask the effects of monetary expansion.
IMO, without those OTC derivatives inflation would have been massive and hyperinflation would have already arrived accompanied by the $ collapse.
The derivatives acted as an alternative currency….
The bankers knew, the Fed knew, the idiot politicians were to stupid to understand anything.
The Brooksley Born episode demonstrates the collusion and corruption.

@ WL, It’s actually a problem in the brain as to how it processes visual information. I know because I have the same problem from brain damage. I can get nausea that comes and goes in a series of long waves, lasting say an hour each wave, for up to several days after just taking a couple bus rides. I don’t believe it is over excitement as the article suggested as probable. In fact I feel like puking right now because I took the bus yesterday.
It can be triggered from visual movement, flashing light, bright light, etc. And at the beginning of the showing, before the actual film, if you have the glasses on, you get strobe-lighted by the images on screen.
I suspect physical trauma to the brain as the main culprit, but sodium aluminum phosphate and other sources of aluminum poisoning, mercury, and antidepressants are on my suspects list too. Antidepressants/anxiolitics permanently alter the relationship between neurotransmitters and receptors.
They’re going to cover this up due to a multitude of vested interests. I’m not sure how, but I’m sure they will. Maybe they can create a new illness out of it and sell more drugs to make people even sicker. Borderline Epilepsy. Take these.
@WL Tony
Even though I would never support a GOP candidate I kind of hope Dems lose the Mass race. Maybe it will get them to reconsider bad policy.
Either way if GOP makes gains all you have to do is look at their candidates to know any resurgence of the GOP will be short lived. Just a bunch of big Biz elites and insiders.

With only a slight alteration your description of the GOP perfectly describes the Democratic Party, as well:

One of your best shows to date. Janet’s analogy of acceleration in a vacuum was a good one. A couple of years ago, I would have been one of those people who said the book will land first – financially speaking.

THE IVY GREEN
Charles Dickens
Oh, a dainty plant is the Ivy green,
That creepeth o’er ruins old!
Of right choice food are his meals, I ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim:
And the mouldering dust that years have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears no wings,
And a staunch old heart has he.
How closely he twineth, how tight he clings
To his friend the huge Oak Tree!
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
As he joyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mould of dead men’s graves.
Creeping where grim death hath been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Whole ages have fled and their works decayed,
And nations have scattered been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade,
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant, in its lonely days,
Shall fatten upon the past:
For the stateliest building man can raise
Is the Ivy’s food at last.
Creeping on where time has been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.

I’ve seen that episode with Brooksley Born. A couple of times my jaw hit the floor. With the perfect clarity of 20/20 hindsight, her reputation has been vindicated, her predictions verified, and the cockroaches (as Max would say) opposing her exposed for what they really are.
Of course, media and government have a convenient memory and her warnings have long since been forgotten.
Gold Outlook for 2010
Gold Resuming its Historical Monetary Role – as the Anti-Currency
Keynote Speech Presented by Nick Barisheff at the Empire Club’s 16th
Annual Investment Outlook Luncheon
Thursday January 7, 2010
“As Wall Street churns out new gold investment vehicles, people are starting to do the math. If it becomes apparent that financial institutions have sold more paper gold than actually exists in physical form, then the price of paper gold and physical gold could diverge.
“This year, many analysts began to apply increased scrutiny to the gold and silver ETFs. In mid-July [2009], hedge fund giant Greenlight Capital announced they were moving assets out of the world’s largest gold ETF – SPDR Gold Shares – and into physical gold. Greenlight is an industry leader whose movements are carefully studied and often emulated. Although Greenlight’s manager, David Einhorn, claimed it was cheaper to own and store physical gold than it was to pay the ETF fees, the fact that a major, industry-leading fund would move to physical bullion * set off many alarm bells. *”

In retrospect, it is funny that the criminals so easily walk away from their poor decisions and outright fraud, and then have the gall to get their panties in a bunch when homeowners decide to do something like walk away from their homes. They want homeowners to be “accountable” for the contracts they signed and “should have understood,” and also expect them to sit in their underwater homes and continue to make mortgage payments. We never hear corporate financial pundits talking about the “responsibility” of the banksters, credit rating agencies, or anyone else; they reserve their moralizing and tongue-lashing for fed up people walking away from their homes and/or refusing to pay on credit cards. We’ve all known that the law only applies to certain segments of the population. But now we learn that the “unsophisticated public” is expected to be more competent and accountable for all varieties of legal contracts than the sophisticated brokers, bankers, etc. Pshaw.

You are correct, cause and effect does not work in isolation, many variables contribute to an outcome, most unknown. This is the problem with the human thought process. We really know very little.
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it – this is knowledge.

@Dan II
Watching that Brooksley Born vid raises more questions about the creation and the true economic impact of those Derivatives, Were they created in response to the massive inflationary threat through the late 70′s? Who created them and controlled them?
I suspect that the players could not allow them to be removed from the darkness as the financial system would collapse, They were purposely used to mask the effects of inflation and steal wealth form the real economy. a dark black hole fiat within a fiat that consumed resources and created malinvestment.
This needs to be explored beyond what the video explains.
@ jon – If they are borderline liberals, as you have implied, sounds like they could stand to read this. Perhaps then they’ll rethink their desire to live in happyland, and will take steps to come back to the land of reality. You won’t entice them by ridiculing them. You might do it by sharing a “liberal book” with them that outlines the pitfalls of the tyranny of positive thinking.
Bravo, best piece of financial investigative journalism I’ve seen in three years of watching the MSM. Enforcement, remedy, prosecution were all mentioned. The MSM rarely utters references to regulation. It’s time for arrests and trials on a massive scale on Wall Street. Short Selling, Front Running and all the bogus derivatives need be exposed for the crimes they are. Remember, the first sign of a third world nation is the selective enforcement of it’s laws../

Fractional banking with fiat money is a ponzi scheme with exponential limitations. Someone described some of these derivatives as a “ponzi within a ponzi” (Max maybe?).
I think derivatives where simply a method to extend the game a little longer and suck up wealth a little faster so that those inside the circle of entitlement can position themselves before the excrement hits the air moving device.

Fun fact: Apparently Holland has been the world’s prime cocain manufacturer between 1878 and 1928. On initiative of the dutch bank and with the notable opening of four dutch cocain factories in 1900 Holland dominated the world market for thirty years. Coca leaves where shipped in from indonesia and high grade cocain left our ports. Production cost of cocain today is 0,006 Euro ct. per gram.
Stupid me, I still don’t understand what a derivative is! (And her explanation was not helpful.) I got the distinct impression that this financial whiz wasn’t really bothered by the nature of the beast at all.
But what I do understand is that a LOT of people are making a LOT of money NOT PRODUCING ANYTHING, while the rest of us, those that aren’t the first spenders of all this wonderful faux capital, get to pay more for everything we need.
All that really needs to be understood is expressed in the following equation…..
Debt-based money + fractional-reserve banking + federal government deficits + foreign interventionism = Destruction of America

@Dan II
Yes, I used that term a few times, maybe Max too.
The point is that Tavikoli, Max and others talk about the symptoms of the Derivatives (Did they know…etc) and there is no real exploration behind their creation and intent.
Essentially, as the US$ began to hyper inflate, these things were created by investment banks to extort and extend the ponzi game. This actually enabled the Banksters to take on the role of the Fed using derivatives. Completely in the dark, unregulated. The fed supported this as they are just tools of the Banks. Brooksley Born was an outsider that had to be smeared and marginalized. She got the job because she was friends with Hillary Clinton and not one of the insiders.
Questions above my pay grade
What would the value of gold be today without the creation of those derivatives?
Did the creation of those derivatives make the Banks the defacto unregulated Central Bank? (That would explain the bailouts)
What will they do in the future as the ponzi scheme is again failing? (SDRs, carbon credits)
Is the global financial system really backed by derivatives? (This distorts and hides real inflation,, don’t tell Mish)

Personally, I wish there some way to break the strangle hold of our two party system. I’d rather that laws be derived from consensus and not along party lines. No one party should hold a majority.

FBI ‘fabricated terror emergencies to get phone records’
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/19/fbi-terror-emergencies-phone-calls
Early in the Bush regime I think it was, BBC Radio 4 broadcast short interviews with an American woman and a Jordanian man concerning the media in their countries. The Jordanian listed a few newspapers which he read, and stated the political inclinations of the publisher of each. The American thought that the government and newspapers had no reason to lie to the public because they had “freedom”.
They’d never put in place anything like the PATRIOT act and then use it to spy on innocent people, so there’s no need to stop them.

@WL
All good questions and multiple levels above my pay grade. I do have guesstimations on a couple of your questions tho:
Gold much higher and fiat money probably collapsed by now. No fiat money system has ever survived long. Banks have leveraged far beyond the rules set by the Fed, so they have usurped some power. The global financial system is backed up by force of law and the point of a gun. Any attempt to return to honest money that has merit is swiftly dealt with. That doesn’t keep people from trying.
In the future as fiat money collapses, people may be panning for gold to buy bread as were the Zimbabweans.
@WL
Well, they are as surprised as I am..
@Youri
I agree, I for one am not interested in any banker explaining what they did and why they did it, I just want them to (as ronron would say) hand over all their cash and fuck off..

Fiat money system prices the gold. The dollar still supported gold when the Zimbabweans suffered their hyperinflation.

@Snoot. think that’s in the bag.
“Our forecast at the IMF is not a forecast of a double dip. But you never know. It may happen and especially if countries exit too early. If they exit too early and we have a new downturn in growth, then really I don’t know what we can do. A lot of our toolkit in terms of fiscal and monetary policy has been used. If we fall back into negative territory for growth it will be very, very difficult to solve the problem, So, our advice is to be very careful,” the Managing Director cautioned.
The IMF is running the finance at member countries through the FSAP and the finance ministers (aka imf employees): what a crock of sh*t.

@Phil – Willie gold run article
I looked around and read various duplicates of that post, and found this comment:
Unfortunately I had food in my mouth when I read it!
the dollar goes to zero
arghh
Dollar can’t ‘go to zero’. Zero not a value. Zero a nominative indicator. Gold not a currency. IMF using gold to support sdr liquidity aka ensured future colonization of the peoples via deprivation and nicey-nicey words. Gold is not a star. Gold is priced within a system of valuation which is soon to be replaced. End of transmission from snoots.
smart money
Smart money is never stationary.

I’d rather try to hide the sun than herd cats, WL. I think they are planning on killing the cats, though.

There won’t be enough liquidity to go around for us serfs because all liquidity will be controlled by IMF. If we want to trade with each other there will not be enough money to do it with whether it be gold or fiat paper. All trade freezes and starvation ensues.

@ronron
Did you get her point? She is saying liquidity will be used as a financial weapon by IMF to control populations. We will be bartering with each other like they did during the dark ages if we don’t go along with what they want in exchange for the liquidity.
At least I think that’s what she meant.
That should make you ascared
My answer to the Keiser Question: No, Israel should not give the money back. Instead, Spain and whatever other countries are not completely in bed with the US should use the international courts to go after the US for breaking international laws.
arrrggggg
Snoot. Goes to zero is a mathematical expression. Or as the value approaches zero if you like. I never said it equals zero. Please don’t argue semantics.
Anyway, you side stepped the question. As the dollar’s value gets very close to zero, will gold’s value get very close to zero? Don’t wiggle away. I’m trying to understand.
@Marietta. better ask snoot. she taught me stuff but i’m not about to explain snoot.
of coarse i’m ascared. i’ve had 58 good years. worry about young peeps.
Snoot. Nevermind.
@Marietta:
I don’t know if I ‘get it’. I have a perspective which may or may not be proven in the end to have any validity.
The starvation part I agree with. I assume that was the reason for the article that Youri linked: “Well, we wash our hands of the end results” type thing.
Organized domestic trade won’t be happening if the currency is useless: that won’t happen till they revalue the sdr. Trade globally is already under the IMF/BIS/UN umbrella. (Remember IMF/BIS unit of account is the sdr) The system is being tested for air pockets (I assume that was the WHO pandemic Ukraine scenerio: funny how Russia got the deed for the European gas-lines.)
There most probably will be war. The situation in Haiti is not humanitarian. The people behind Rwanda and Kosovo are now about eviscerating the peoples.
We still have some time. I wonder if the scare stories (pole shift, climate change, hyperinflation, planet x) are all a way to distract attention from the real criminal action: the definitive fruition of the Bretton Woods ideal and consolidation of title to power indicated by the founders.
your prospective will be proven in the end. hope were still talking for some years.
@frances
So once domestic trade is at a stand still, IMF swoops in with liquidity with heavy restrictions attached. Like telling the Hatians, here’s a loan only if you freeze wages (as Youri linked to)

@ronron

@Dan2:
We need to start seeing things in the way they are represented by real events.
The system under which the dollar finds value is an international system. The BIS controls this system through the function of the central banks in member states. The IMF is the conduit for finance decision. The currency controllers manage the regulatory agencies.
The system is rife with criminal fraud and function. The US is not the lone predator.
What I meant by the dollar and ‘going to zero’ is that resistance is found within the system according to the inherent ties of the dollar to the pound, the euro, the yen, the krona, and the loonie. The EU, as master of the moment, will not tolerate a dollar that inflates as it is not advantageous to their export market facilitating an increase in euro value.
The international financial masters are now working on a system without those flaws. The new system will not be dependent on currencies which ‘muck up those profits’ for the insider nations with ties to the BIS/EU. The new system will provide advantage en perpetua for those with ties to the BIS. It is being maneuvered into place through ‘humanitarian debt Jubilee’ (dollar debt being restructured in favor of sdr) and sdr allotments.
The question of dollar ‘value’ is a mute in this new system. One is connected or not.
If the G20 power controls the resources, the water, the food production and distribution; if the G20 system of governance is consolidated with little or no accountability; if the IMF/BIS remains in control, then what use is gold to you or I, Dan2?
When and if the value of the dollar goes to zero, I will be happy to haul off, at my own expense, any worthless gold taking up your valuable space.
@Marietta. i think what snoot refers to is when. ask her please. i refer to now.

@Snoot
I agree that a very real possibility exists that the economy and a medium of exchange that goes with it, will be much more tightly controlled in the future. It is even possible that gold will be illegal to own as it has been in the past.
That wasn’t the question I asked. Here is the question you answered: Will gold be a useful medium of exchange for ordinary people in the future?
I guess you can hold that the future as you see it is so certain, that all other question are moot. It’s not that I think that your ‘vision’ is wrong. I find it a distinct possibility. But it may not be the only one. And there may be a transitional time where gold will be indispensable. I’m fairly certain the depositors in Argentina would have rather had gold over currency before the bank holidays.
I believe in any almost any outcome, gold will have value. You may not be able to price it in dollars, but it will have value. IMHO

Re: LA Rain & Tornadoes. Neither are all that rare. In the book “Ecology of Fear” Mike Davis pointed out that LA has had over 100 tornadoes over the previous century, all smaller than the Kansas ones, but many damaging. However the LA Times and TV press always call them “Freak Winds” to keep up the LA=paradise mystique and keep people buying houses there.
I once obtained 100 years of rainfall data for LA and found that the average yearly rainfall is SMALLER than the standard deviation of the rainfall. This means that there’s no such thing as a typical year’s worth of rain since the phenomenon is so sporatic. The big rain comes when a storm blows in from Hawaii laden with huge amounts of moisture. Then you get one years worth in a weekend or a day. This is not uncommon during El Nino years.

Stacy said:
///@lek – If I recall my history classes correctly, I think it was the mostly christian Germans that nearly ‘hunted Jews to extinction;’ also, Khamanei is the leader of Iran, not Ahmadinejad; and, finally, the US is the only nation to use nuclear weapons against another and multiple leaders have recently threatened to use them again against Iran and against other nations they consider ‘rogue’///
Stacy, in fact, there were two Bosnian Muslim SS units in charge of killing Jews in Eastern Europe, personally selected by Adolph Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusleum. Haj Amin al-Husseini worked closely with Hitler; his son Faisal was one of the “Palestinian’s” leading spokesmen after WWII.
As for Christianity, Adolph Hitler had this to say about “his” relgiion:
“…a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament. The Mohammedan religion would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”
And as for Israel, who in the world actually thinks it would launch an offensive nuclear strike any more than France or England might?
In the case of Iran, despite your shared anti-americanism with the mullahs, you should not be blind to the fact that Ayatollah II is the hand chosen successor of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the man who taught, “Let this land (Iran) go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant over the rest of the world. The governments of the world should know that Islam cannot be defeated. Islam will be victorious in all the countries of the world, and Islam and the teachings of the Koran will prevail all over the world.”
Finally, remember Stacy, “Men are in charge of women, because Allah has preferred men over women….As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them; banish them to their couches and beat them.”

Max, first off — Israel has long been vital to US projection of power in the Mideast. If you don’t understand geopolitics, you shouldn’t comment on it.
Secondly — We’re not afraid of Israel floating a few extra nukes to a non-state paramilitary force. We are deeply afraid of Iran doing this.
Thirdly — Gifts? Heh. How old are you, Max?

Re: the Coakley loss, somebody asked me about needing 60 votes to pass legislation… think it was Dan, but I can’t find the comment.
Don’t want to take up too much room trying to explain it, so here is a primer on filibuster and cloture.
For additional information on how use of the filibuster in the Senate has changed in recent history ( aka since the Dems became the majority in the Senate), Rachel Maddow did a good job reporting on it a few months ago.
Joe Biden has rather gravely stated that no democracy has survived needing a supermajority. I don’t know if that is historically true, but it is true that beyond our problem of corporate governance, small d democracy is being subverted because the people the public have put in power to represent us can not make good on their promises so long as the minority keeps abusing the filibuster.
The other trick being used by the minority is to run out the clock on debating, crafting, and ultimately voting on legislation. They do this by adding hundreds of amendments to bills that need to be individually debated and voted on. The GOP did this with the stimulus and with health care. Some of their amendments were passed in the hopes that adding them would lead the sponsors of those amendments to vote for the final pieces of legislation. That didn’t happen. All of the tax cuts and pork added to the stimulus resulted in 3 GOP stimulus votes. And on health care, even after they stalled votes and had some of their individual amendments passed, they ultimately decided not to support the health care bills containing their amendments. (Olympia Snowe was the only GOP Senator to vote for health care reform.) The result has been a watered-down, useless bill–thanks also to a handful of “conservative” Democrats–and a pissed off public.
Recall Stacy posting charts showing that the majority of the public supported the public option. Well, after the watering-down process that was required in order to aim for 60 votes, people don’t support reform in such large numbers anymore. And so long as the GOP sticks together to obstruct EVERYTHING, all we’ll get is shitty watered-down junk that nobody wants. It’ll probably advantage the GOP, b/c the public won’t understand that the GOP is manufacturing the shit via their strategy of saying no to everything.

What’s your theory, marietta? Doesn’t seem to me that anyone in power would want to “cull” heroin users After all, it’s in their interests for demand to remain for addictive, lucrative drugs.
Dear Scott:
For months now, the Federal Reserve Banksters have been working to derail the AUDIT THE FED freight train.
Their pet politicians in BOTH parties have tried virtually every trick in the book to stop H.R. 1207/S. 604 from ever coming to the floor for a public, roll call vote.
They’ve succeeded so far. But you and I CANNOT let them get away with it.
That’s why your action is needed today.
You see, you and I have a brief window to FORCE Senate action on the AUDIT THE FED Bill — the first step toward finally ending the Fed once and for all — but we must act NOW!
I’ve linked below to a petition DEMANDING your U.S. Senators support a public, roll call vote on the AUDIT THE FED Bill.
I hope you’ll please sign this petition — along with the enclosed Memorandum of Support to U.S. Senator Jim DeMint — IMMEDIATELY.
Let me explain the situation a bit more.
Right before Christmas, Senator DeMint blocked the nomination of Ben Bernanke for another term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Even better, Senator DeMint publicly announced he would attempt to hold up even discussing Bernanke’s nomination until there is a full, up or down floor vote on Audit the Fed in the Senate!
But Senator DeMint’s hold won’t last forever without help.
That’s why he needs us to back him up with massive grassroots pressure on your Senators.
Should he choose to, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could ignore Senator DeMint’s attempt to delay and move to confirm Ben Bernanke’s nomination with 60 votes.
And you and I both know the banksters have a lot of friends in the U.S. Senate.
But right now, the spotlight is on the Fed. It has been on them since the bailouts.
And it’s been on them due to the MILLIONS of calls, petitions, emails and letters you’ve sent them all year long on Audit the Fed.
Now, Senator DeMint has put the public spotlight on the Fed’s pet politicians’ attempt to stonewall our AUDIT THE FED Bill.
So right now may be our best shot at FORCING a public, roll call vote on AUDIT THE FED in the U.S. Senate — if you and I can create a massive and IMMEDIATE outpouring of grassroots support.
As you know, if passed, the AUDIT THE FED Bill would finally show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:
*** Constant economic crises — the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation;
*** The destruction of the middle class — as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases;
*** Currency destruction — history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize fiat money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.
That’s why it’s vital you sign our petition to your Senators along with the Memorandum of Support to Senator DeMint IMMEDIATELY.
If you and I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I’m afraid Ben Bernanke and his bankster buddies will just go back to their free-wheeling, inflationary, dollar-destroying ways.
And that’s something you and I can’t afford.
Today, our national debt is over $12 TRILLION — and rising.
Unemployment is in double-digits — and rising.
And countries around the world are getting nervous about the dollar’s sinking value.
But we’re not supposed to make a peep about any of this madness.
After all, you saw Time Magazine named Ben Bernanke their “Person of the Year,” right?
And you’ve heard the national media wants Ron Paul and you and me to stop all this “silly audit business,” right?
Apparently, we’re supposed to be grateful there’s “ONLY” 10% unemployment, along with the probability of sky-high interest rates and rampant inflation in the near future.
Never mind the Federal Reserve is to blame for CAUSING the economic crisis in the first place!
Well, I’m not going away. I’m not going to shut up.
And I’m confident you won’t either.
You and I must make sure every member of the U.S. House and Senate goes on record with a public, roll call vote on the AUDIT THE FED Bill.
And you know, since it’s now an election year, I have to tell you this:
I really, really want Audit the Fed to become law to expose the corruption, greed and lawlessness of the international cartel ruining our economy.
And mark my words – it WILL happen.
But if the Fed’s pet politicians want to kill H.R. 1207/S. 604), I have to say this – they do so at their own peril.
Voters are already angry.
You and I can see it every rally we go to. Every Tea Party. Every poll that shows a patriot beating an establishment career politician.
So if they want to go into November having killed Audit the Fed and face the angry voters, well, they’re gonna have some explaining to do.
It’ll be up to them to explain to voters why they believe the Federal Reserve SHOULD be able to print trillions of dollars, seize control of private companies and lend U.S. taxpayer dollars to anyone else they wish . . .
. . . WITHOUT BEING QUESTIONED!
These politicians will pay the ultimate political price at the polls — and we’ll just move even closer to our goal of ENDING THE FED once and for all in the next election.
So please submit this petition to your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY.
Let’s shine the spotlight of freedom right on them and see what they do.
There’s one more thing, and I don’t usually do this.
But sometimes people really stick their neck out for you, and force me to break a rule I have about politicians. (“If you can’t say anything bad about them, you’re not trying hard enough.”)
Senator Jim DeMint is leading the fight for Audit the Fed in the Senate, and that’s often a lonely fight.
So I’d like you to also submit your “Memorandum of Support” to Senator DeMint and thank him for his efforts and urge him to continue working to force a public, roll call vote on the AUDIT THE FED Bill.
As I mentioned before, time is not on our side to create the groundswell of support we need to FORCE Senate action on AUDIT THE FED.
And with so little time, I want to launch an immediate and unprecedented grassroots alert to all current Campaign for Liberty supporters plus an additional twelve million activists nationwide.
With your help, I’ll pull out all the stops.
Direct mail. Blogs. E-mail. Phone banks. Newspaper, radio and TV ads.
You name it.
Such a massive program will not be cheap — especially since everything is last minute.
But if we’re ultimately going to EXPOSE the Fed as the culprit in our economic troubles, we can’t hold anything back.
So in addition to signing the petition and your Memorandum of Support to Senator DeMint, won’t you also agree to make a generous $100, $50 or $25 contribution?
Scott, we’ve watched the Federal Reserve’s cronies in Congress use virtually every trick in the book to stop any action on Audit the Fed over this past year.
But today we can turn the tables on them.
With your help, we can FORCE every Senator to go on record either for or against our AUDIT THE FED Bill and take a giant leap toward finally ENDING THE FED once and for all.
So after signing your petition and Memorandum of Support, please send me your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or $25.
This is crunch time, so I’m going to be frank.
I’m counting on your support.
Ron Paul is counting on your support.
So please submit your petition, the Memorandum of Support for Senator DeMint and your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or $25 TODAY!
Sincerely,
John F. Tate
President
P.S. Senator Jim DeMint’s (R-SC) hold on Ben Bernanke’s renomination as Chairman of the Federal Reserve is shining the public spotlight on Big Government politicians’ efforts to stop H.R. 1207/S. 604 without a vote.
That’s why right now may be our best shot to FORCE Senate action on AUDIT THE FED — if you and I can create a massive and IMMEDIATE outpouring of grassroots support.
So please submit this petition to your U.S. Senators along with the Memorandum of Support for Senator DeMint.
And if you can, please also make your most generous contribution of $100, $50 or $25 IMMEDIATELY!

actually, i think warren pollock is over reacting to the story. Looks like, from the second story, accidental contamination. I imagine a squalid building with dead, anthrax infected rodents strewn about where the heroin was processed. May be another case of reading too much into the story.

RE:Faber’s Opinion on Goldmung Sucks
I believe he stated they were “intelligent”…
That doesn’t mean he SUPPORTS their crooked ways…
Ted Bundy was considered exceptionally intelligent, too, and you know what HE did…
Sprott Asset Management is actually a reasonable company that seeks to preserve the working (wo)man’s capital since most don’t have the ability to do it for themselves…
And with Faber on their side, they are merely adding to their “intellectual” value…
As well, they do NOT support the methods being implemented by the US Gov’t in bailing out those assholes, so I can’t see the conflict of interest that you are implying…
http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/07/sprott-on-problems-and-problems.html
When I saw John Embry on Monday give his speech at the closing of the Vancouver Resource Conference, he was basically reiterating that fact with updates as to why the US Economy is in deep-doo-doo and why GOLD will preserve the capital of those lucky enough to have it.
It sounds like you are confusing Sprott with Goldmung…
Or maybe I’m not seeing the connection?

Only suckers would be dumb enough to place their trust in business again
Published: January 20 2010 02:00 | Last updated: January 20 2010 02:00
From Mr Max Keiser.
Sir, Richard Lambert’s critique of Sir David Hare’s play The Power of Yes is shrill and unconvincing (“Why David Hare is wrong about business”, January 18).
In fact, contrary to what Mr Lambert argues, business is absurdly easy due to the ease companies have in accessing credit at rates – engineered by banks engaging in cross-border “carry trades” in the currency market – of virtually zero. Furthermore, when these businesses lose money with their virtually free cash they lobby their respective governments for bail-outs.
Additionally, Mr Lambert states that the primary purpose of business is not to make money. This is one of those pathetic oxymorons you hear like “plausible deniability” or “jobless recovery” meant to obfuscate and protect the guilty from prosecution.
His solipsistic exercise also includes his notion that business is not a selfish pursuit. Clearly, the entire basis for free market capitalism since Adam Smith has been the pursuit of self-interest.
Finally, we are told that businesses are inherently seeking trust and that we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, but based on the litany of fraud, larceny and deceit practised by business, particularly in the City of London, it’s clear that only suckers would trust business today.

If the primary purpose of business is to NOT make money, then what business are BANKSTERS involved in?
(from the article Max has beef with)
Of course it is necessary to make profits – in order to stay in business and to ensure the supply of capital for the innovation and expansion that will be required to meet customers’ needs in the future. But firms that only exist to make money – to maximise their profits – will not over time offer the quality and value that customers demand in return for their loyalty. They stay in business by offering good products at a fair price, not by squeezing out the most they can for their shareholders.
How long has Goldmung and JP Whorgan been around again?
RIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
He talks about earning trust in order to stay in business… That’s bullshit…
I’ve worked for crooked, ill-managed companies before, and they are STILL in business.

A Vectored Bio Weapon? – News Alert
In Europe it has been reported that Heroin users are contracting anthrax. This story is not new, it has been floating around for a month or so in several publications. Notice it has not been spun or escalated yet. The question is; Is this contaminated Heroin or a Bio Weapon. In any case it will not spread to the general population
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks0DV8AsK5Y&feature=sub
Good job Max! Good thing it gets published.
I had that discussion with one of the top of Akzo Nobel once: She maintained against all arguments that business is not about making money. It is a mindwarping lie to make sure you can cajole the minions into accepting anything to remain employed.
The irrational need for job security and using employement as a reason to support businesses is one of the causes of this scorched earth way companies operate these days. A CEO defending himself with saying ‘I do it for my workers’ is like a general saying ‘support the troops’, it is the purpose of the company that gives it its right to exist, not its existence in itself.
Janet Tavakoli owns Berkshire Hathaway shares (disclosed in her book Dear Mr. Buffett)
Berkshite Hathaway own a stake of Goldman Sachs, which netted them $3bn over the last year (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/23/warren-buffetts-goldman-s_n_297075.html)
If Tavakoli feels that Goldman are engaging in fraud, is it not hypocritical in the least that she owns the stock, and profits from it. A question for the next interview?
@Eli
That’s a good point Eli and why isn’t the book called “Drop dead Mr. Buffett” instead of “Dear Mr. Buffett” ?
Just an observation… It just struck me that some of the most interesting people speaking out against corporate corruption are women: Janet Tavakoli, Catherine Austin Fitts, and Brooksly Born come to mind.
Great interview, incidentally.
