[KR73] Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Corexit! [Updated]

Stacy Summary: We look at the year of records, from the record collapse in US house sales to new record temperatures, to a record year for payouts and to zombies. In the second half of the show, Max talks to Kate Sheppard, an environmental journalist at Mother Jones, about the ongoing crisis in the Gulf of Mexico and about the proliferation of corporate front groups.

**UPDATE**: In related news, this climate change debate between Sir David King and Lord Lawson and hosted by the CBI (the main UK business lobby) ought to be fantastic. This is what is needed, a real scientist, who also has an understanding of economics; and the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, not a clown like Lord Monckton.

[Chaostheorien] Behind the Wheel w/ Catherine Austin Fitts

Stacy Summary: Note that many of the Koch Party members rallying around Glenn Beck this weekend will support an increase in military spend and occupations. As a leading neo-conservative, Rupert Murdoch will be pushing for as many wars as possible.

“The central banking-warfare investment model” is really a control model, through which a small group of people can control the most resources on the most profitable basis. Essentially what happens is: Central banks print money and then the military makes sure that other parties accept it and that the financial system continues to have liquidity. The question many people ask with regards to a fiat currency, which is a paper currency, is: Why would anybody take paper, which has no value? They take the paper, because it’s part of the enforcement and military supervision, if you will, of the network that is printing the money. The system has created a fantastically profitable way of controlling large populations and access to resources very cheaply.

Let’s say for a second that Mr. Global is in charge of “the central banking-warfare investment model”: Mr. Global prints money and then people take that paper and give him in essence what he needs to buy up and control the national resources. The population is dependent on his paper and then he controls all the real things. Also through the military, he can steal whatever he wants. And organized crime is a very important component as well, because it can be expansive to drop an army and to occupy a place. If he can take over a place and buy that place with the place’s own money, it’s much more efficient, and that’s where the drug business traditionally comes in. It’s basically part of a model for controlling a territory with huge resources in the cheapest way possible.
