As soon as dictatorship will be in place and “The Enemy Belligerent Act” voted, Alex Jones will probably definitevely dissapear. For the moment the fascists running this country and Europe, aren’t strong enough to implement such measures. I’d say that files are certainly both 30 feet high.
Two tonnes of paper. In reality they don’t care. They know that the majority of Americans and english speaking people bah of Europeans, are soo brain dead that they wouldn’t mind. Look how easy it was for naked body scans.
“Shimon Peres, a man of peace, architect of the Oslo Accords, and 1994 Nobel Peace Prizewinner together with Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, is a great friend of France.”
Jones and Sarkozy are both adept at hyperbole: here’s Sarkozy indicating that the refusal of the ‘international community’ to introduce sanctions against Iran might result in an Israeli airstrike against Iran:
“Hours before U.S. President Barack Obama opened a landmark summit of 47 nations on nuclear security in Washington, Sarkozy told CBS’s Katie Couric that “I would not want the world to wake up to a conflict between Israel and Iran, quite simply because the international community has been incapable of acting.”"
“But Total and Tehran have been haggling over the terms of the contract since 2004. Iran uses what are called buy-back agreements with foreign companies, in which the company pays for the initial development and construction, and Iran buys it back with its share of the profits. The exact details of how long a foreign company keeps control of the investment, and therefore continues to profit from it, is often unfavorable and has long made energy companies hesitate before investing in Iran…
Iran holds the world’s second-largest proven reserves of natural gas, but international pressure, as well as the buy-back policy, has limited foreign investment in development of those gas fields. About two-thirds of the country’s 970 tcf of natural gas reserves lie undeveloped, according to the Energy Information Administration, the data arm of the U.S. Department of Energy.”
“Regardless of what is included in the global edition of the New York Times, article dated Friday, December 26, 2008, and regardless of whether the suggested assumptions are factual or baseless, it is interesting that Iran’s role as the second gas reservoir owner in the world, has been completely disregarded.”
@Frances Snoot
He is right to be “paranoid” as the unemployment explodes and the crooks in Washington are about to rape and pillage the middle class and ALL your pension funds.
“China’s National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) clinched a $4.7 billion deal this year to develop phase 11 of its South Pars, replacing France’s Total. CNPC beefed up its staff in Iran late last year to around 60, even as western oil firms scaled down their staff.”
@Frances
Irak had the largest undeveloped oil fieild. Bam USA rape and plunder.
Iran has the second largest undeveloped gas fields. USA rape and plunder.
It’ real esasy to understand. It’s called COLONIALISM.
@Marc:
They aren’t planning on keeping the old folks around anyway. All funds will be pooled into the general kitty. It’s for the ‘progeny’: they will keep safe the funds for the ‘progeny’ as Stiglitz mentioned concerning the theft of Khazaki resource wealth.
The move is a GLOBAL grab. And paranoid has nothing to do with it: it’s about The Plan, Marc.
The resources in Iran belong to Iran. They are free to negotiate and make the best deal possible with anyone they choose to. The beauty of this is that other parties are free to negotiate as well. Neither party may force the other to act. If foreign companies don’t like the terms, they are free to walk away. If the terms are so unfavorable, why would they agree to them in the first place? I suspect the real issue is control of the resources. Foreign companies are not satisfied with making a profit. They want monopoly rights on the resources in perpetuity.
A resource that is not currently being utilized does not make it a wasted resource. The natural gas may be Iran’s most valuable asset in the future . . . if they can keep it.
“Americans” will soon become an anachrostic term but the theft, the rape, the pillaging, and the murder will continue under the same criminal heads, Youri. The base is European: it always has been.
Look at the way Germany has reacted to Greece for an indication of America’s future.
Wasn’t Jones the one who insisted that ‘offshore banks’ had conducted a coup of Washington?
@Danny
No. “What yours is mine, what’s mine is mine.” Uncle Sam.
You really think that ownership counts. In theory. You just have to look what happens in places like Bissau Guinea, Nigeria to uderstand how it works. Both countries produce huge amounts of oil. Problem. Most people in the country make 1$ to 2$ of earnings per day. Guess where the money ends up ? Iran doesn’t belong to Iranians, Russia doesn’t belong to Russians. Hey USA doesn’t belong to Americans. It’s not really the way it works.
talking of paranoia, what do you think of the subtle emphasis of the ‘A’ in Max Keiser into a pyramid in the intro, and the ‘chemtrails’ behind Max throughout the show: coincidence or subliminal message?
@ Stacy – We’re leading on nuclear non-proliferation in the same way that we lead on climate change @ Copenhagen: by creating one standard for the US and one for everyone else.
Sorry to say to AJ fans, I feel dumber after listening to his part of the show. Not kidding.
Section V of Rebuilding America’s Defenses, entitled “Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force”, includes the sentence: “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor” 911 was that “New Pearl Harbor”!
888 Dick Cheney from the group called “The Crazies” or “The Crazies from the Basement” cause there it is were they like to cook up their eveil plans once proposed to blow up an airplane with American students to blame it on some foreign enemy and to start a war.
In the run-up to the 2004 election, Vice President Dick Cheney took a one-man, nuke-terror traveling roadshow through Midwestern swing states, at one point famously suggesting that the
“Democrats simply did not grasp the dangers of nuclear terrorism. You have to get your mind around the concept,”
Besides that MEP the war machine needs a good war to replenish its order books. Nothing like killing some foreigners with a lot of oil or gas. It’s about selling arms. Don’t forget G.O.D. (Guns, gas,oil and drugs) USA ! USA ! USA ! Numero UNO ! Nuke em all ! 48% of American jackasses are for a war with Iran. So the surveys say. Even with 22% unemployment ! That’s what I love about the US. It’s dumb and dumber by the hour.
And who owns SouthPars? Qatar, Iran, or these guys?
“State funded Qatar Petroleum operates the Ras Laffan refinery and has a 51 percent stake. Other shareholders are Total with 10 pct, Exxon Mobil with 10 pct, Cosmo with 10 pct, Idemitsu with 10 percent, Mitsui with 4.5 pct and Marubeni with 4.5 pct.”
Miserable Arab are owned by the Yanks of cause. They play the Arabs against Israel and Iran. A three folded divide and conquer. Sunnis against Shiites and Jews.

last night’s Bill Moyers Journal (linked here many times), with Simon Johnson & James Kwak, pretty well sums up the sordid political scene that enables the financial destruction of 99% of the population.
@ Carmen – Enjoyed Jesse’s article. I think he’s right to wonder about saving and spending behaviors and the impact of those behaviors on the inequalities that exist in different locales or countries, but IMO, if we looked at data about the explosion of cost for the basics: food, energy, housing, medical care, medications, education, transportation . . . and then looked at that data alongside data on things like purchasing power, hours worked, wages and benefits earned, taxes paid, savings rates, debt levels, etc., we’d see that more and more people are being squeezed not because of frivolous spending, but because the basics are squeezing the life out of them at the same time that they’re working more and earning less.
Don’t mind being crazy. Sain as a crazy man. Hey Stacy how to we pay for the film ? I can’t wait seing Kenny Boy rising from the dead like Jesus or Frankenstein. Kenny Boy looks a lot like Frankenstien to think of it. The head in not square but the eyes and the skin quite similar.
@marc:
The problem is the constant definition of good/evil. No one nation/state is exclusive to either domain. The idea that one may exclude evil through social action is unfortunately untrue. Evil and good coexist constantly. The condition is called human.
Wether it be through such institutions as the Church, Monarchy, Government, Caveman with the biggest club, WHATEVER mankind has always been ruled by a plutarchy. The rich have been screwin’ over the poor for centuries, always have always will. It’s the only model that works because each individual is selfish in regards to obtaining wealth, “he who has the gold, makes the rules”.
“None of the Central Asian states have made any specific pledges to supply gas for Nabucco. Iraq appears to be interested but that gas is in Iraq’s Kurdish region and the regional government there and central government in Baghdad are not in agreement on all the details of gas sales.
Iran, with the second-largest gas reserves in the world, could fill Nabucco by itself. Nabucco’s website indicates the pipeline’s shareholders envision a day such as the one Morningstar spoke of, when better relations between Iran and the United States remove the obstacles to Iran’s participation in energy-resource development and exports.”
“Meanwhile, officials in Azerbaijan said last week that natural gas from Iraq and Iran is needed for Nabucco to Europe if the project is to get off the ground. Azerbaijan is seen as a likely supplier to the 2,000-mile pipeline. Azeri Energy Minister Natiq Aliyev, however, said Iran and Iraq could emerge as possible suppliers for Nabucco in the coming years, London’s Independent newspaper reports from Baku. “In a few years, when the Iran and Iraq situation is more stable politically, we will be able to implement the Nabucco project speedily,” he said.”
@Mini US – perhaps it’s just an American pronounciation? I was often charged with ‘mispronouncing’ words while living in UK, with the whole aluminum / aluminium conflict being the worst; then there was also ibuprofen, filet, duvet, tomato, etc.
“I applaud Egypt” Hey, didnt you tell me two weeks ago that Egypt was as bad as Israel. Now they’re OK?
Every press TV blog starts with a slam on Israel and a PR statement for that great beacon of liberty, Iran, then you get to do your show.
Get a live and take the consequences.

Great show, nice not to have Alex Jones roarin’ his bleedin head off, a staged nuke attack on the US, why not. Did anyone else think he looks a bit like a young Winston Churchill.

@ Carmen – Enjoyed Jesse’s article. I think he’s right to wonder about saving and spending behaviors and the impact of those behaviors on the inequalities that exist in different locales or countries, but IMO, if we looked at data about the explosion of cost for the basics: food, energy, housing, medical care, medications, education, transportation . . . and then looked at that data alongside data on things like purchasing power, hours worked, wages and benefits earned, taxes paid, savings rates, debt levels, etc., we’d see that more and more people are being squeezed not because of frivolous spending, but because the basics are squeezing the life out of them at the same time that they’re working more and earning less.

“Free range slaves” Nice. I like the concept. A tazer dog collar with a real long leech and RDFI chip and limited visatation in other slave countries.

Don’t mind being crazy. Sain as a crazy man. Hey Stacy how to we pay for the film ? I can’t wait seing Kenny Boy rising from the dead like Jesus or Frankenstein. Kenny Boy looks a lot like Frankenstien to think of it. The head in not square but the eyes and the skin quite similar.
@ R. Cain

Forget Afghanistan, Pakistan is the only muslim nation that got nukes, it is most likely most about being close to Pakistan, because of their nukes.
@Ingrid:
No ‘u’ in Qatar. I was referring to proportion in context.
@marc:
The problem is the constant definition of good/evil. No one nation/state is exclusive to either domain. The idea that one may exclude evil through social action is unfortunately untrue. Evil and good coexist constantly. The condition is called human.
Wether it be through such institutions as the Church, Monarchy, Government, Caveman with the biggest club, WHATEVER mankind has always been ruled by a plutarchy. The rich have been screwin’ over the poor for centuries, always have always will. It’s the only model that works because each individual is selfish in regards to obtaining wealth, “he who has the gold, makes the rules”.
Chinese deal with Iran on southpars LNG development:

“None of the Central Asian states have made any specific pledges to supply gas for Nabucco. Iraq appears to be interested but that gas is in Iraq’s Kurdish region and the regional government there and central government in Baghdad are not in agreement on all the details of gas sales.
Iran, with the second-largest gas reserves in the world, could fill Nabucco by itself. Nabucco’s website indicates the pipeline’s shareholders envision a day such as the one Morningstar spoke of, when better relations between Iran and the United States remove the obstacles to Iran’s participation in energy-resource development and exports.”

better relationships?! oh the coalition of the willing hypocrits!!
“Zaccaria acclaims Nabucco as the servant of God and the King of Kings.”

First International Gas Congress? Yes:

“Meanwhile, officials in Azerbaijan said last week that natural gas from Iraq and Iran is needed for Nabucco to Europe if the project is to get off the ground. Azerbaijan is seen as a likely supplier to the 2,000-mile pipeline. Azeri Energy Minister Natiq Aliyev, however, said Iran and Iraq could emerge as possible suppliers for Nabucco in the coming years, London’s Independent newspaper reports from Baku. “In a few years, when the Iran and Iraq situation is more stable politically, we will be able to implement the Nabucco project speedily,” he said.”

Hey Snoot…
Lost in internet translation. Size is in the mind of the beholder…LOL…
Oh no.
George W. has taught a whole nation to pronounce Nuclear ‘Nucular’ like Homer Simpson.
D’oh!
@Mini US – perhaps it’s just an American pronounciation? I was often charged with ‘mispronouncing’ words while living in UK, with the whole aluminum / aluminium conflict being the worst; then there was also ibuprofen, filet, duvet, tomato, etc.
“I applaud Egypt” Hey, didnt you tell me two weeks ago that Egypt was as bad as Israel. Now they’re OK?
Every press TV blog starts with a slam on Israel and a PR statement for that great beacon of liberty, Iran, then you get to do your show.
How pathetic.
To all the people,
Get a live and take the consequences.
Irak,Afghanistan. Pakistan and Iran just
like a problem we care about.
But we need your money!( Greenpeace etc.)
So, pay and be a patriot do not ask and
do not hate the IRS WHY!
2.000.000.0 Have died!
How long do you accept people to die for freedom?

You gotta really try and keep a straight face with Alex, in amongst his rambling lays a solid foundation of 1% truth but he’s sure got a WONDERFUL fan base.
A friend of my brother was in the Aussie S.A.S. for a few years and his opinion on the whole Georgian thing was “That stuff happens everyday between countries, perfectly normal” then continued his detailed explanation of the new model M60 lol
Love your work Max, but Alex Jones is a moron.
i beggar the question: if alex jones is our source now for news, what the hell is the rest of the news industry doing? im seriously considering that news is not news, but rather propaganda and counter intelligence. its completely baffling!
I received a letter from one of my pension funds the other day saying that the basis for my cash fund was changing from May. In the future, all the cash will be invested in short term UK government bonds.
Great show, nice not to have Alex Jones roarin’ his bleedin head off, a staged nuke attack on the US, why not. Did anyone else think he looks a bit like a young Winston Churchill.
Alex Jones Y2K broadcast! Find it, listen to it! Source of news my ass!
I said it before, media whores. These two have their respective heads so far up each others rumps looking for interlocking fan bases it’s shamefully whorish.
