Facebook credits now selling at your local 7-Eleven
A late night run to 7-Eleven could now lead to an agonizing decisions: Slurpee or a new chicken for your virtual farm on “FarmVille.”
PayNearMe has launched a payment system that allows Facebook game players to buy credits for virtual goods at local 7-Eleven stores around the country. While in Facebook, players select the number of Facebook credits they want to purchase, print a receipt and take it to their local 7-Eleven where it will be charged at the register just like an item purchased in the store.
Facebook credits run $5.00 for 50, $10.00 for 100 and so forth. Recently, Facebook added free credits to user accounts to help fuel the demand for its currency. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38566719/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/
The stories out of Japan remind me of the anime movie “Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society” The plot revolves around an apartment complex full of dying old people who are fostering kidnapped children who are being trained by a military dynast. The money for the project is “stolen” by siphoning off the fractional cents from people’s bank accounts.
The Ghost in the Shell movies provided some major inspiration for the Matrix trilogy and the new Battlestar Galactica.

Don’t call them neo-cons. They are neo-nazis. It’s much more precise.
Here in Norway we sell t-Shirts printed with “If we had dolphins we would kill them too” As a nation we are proud of our whaling activities and supposedly we should only kill certain whales that are not in danger of extinction. I do not believe for a second that its the case out on the sea.
I would really like to see Paul Watson expand his operation to fishing trawlers. They are killing our oceans and there really isnt much fish left. There are whole communities here in Norway that have been wiped out because of overfishing by these boats. There is nothing left for the local coastfishermen let alone for casual fishers like myself. 25 years ago we could go fishing for a few hours and fill a bucket just by fishing with a fishingrod. Yesterday I went fishing for a few hours and I caught only 1 makrell
It’s been like that for the last 10years. Ofc that isnt proof of anything but it is an exsample of the situation we have here.
He had fancy ship but it proved to be very vulnerable. Maybe a bit too fancy.

Maxs point about the value of language having been distorted is spot on, surprisingly it seems much of this distortion has to do with finance or the spin designed to disguise or make palatable motives that are purely greed and finance driven. We are living in an age of linguistic contortionism, perhaps we should go back to communicating in grunts. At least you know where you are with a good grunt.

Well you know what the difference between capitalism and communism is?
In communism they nationalize the banks and
then push them to bankruptcy then become capitalists.

Hey Max, Stacy in reference to words being meaningless. I will relate this;
I was reading a technical related blog the other day and decided to look at the profile of a contributor from the USA. He described his politics as “on the red side”.
My initial thought was, here’s a courageous fellow, admitting to having communist leanings, In the U.S. I would imagine that will make life difficult for you.(RED being the Internationally recognised symbol for left revolution etc). Then it dawned on me red is the colour of the political party of the right in the U.S.
This may be one reason it is almost impossible for people who are not from the States to follow their thought processes. They use the same words, but the words have entirely different connotations outside the U.S.
Captain Paul Watson best guest ever. http://www.seashepherd.org/
Just thought I’d throw this in the mix,….by Denis Rancourt:
“I also advance that there are strong societal, institutional, and psychological motivations for having constructed and for continuing to maintain the myth of a global warming dominant threat (global warming myth, for short). I describe these motivations in terms of the workings of the scientific profession and of the global corporate and finance network and its government shadows.”
“I argue that by far the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and profit-driven corporations and their cartels backed by military might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that contributes to hiding this truth. In my opinion, activists who, using any justification, feed the global warming myth have effectively been co-opted, or at best neutralized.”
If it were the US doing the whaling, you just know that Watson would be labeled a terrorist and US warships would be sent to protect the whalers at taxpayer expense. Luckily Japan was demilitarized. But what would happen if Sea Shepherd were to take on Norwegian whalers? Would NATO intervene?

Please take it easy on the Japanese @Marc Authier. They (the average Japanese citizen) have had a godzillion years of enforced oppression already. First from their own quarters and then most recently with the doodle-dandies, at least since end of WWII until today.
It’s like blaming UK people for putting up with Trident. Truth is they have no say.
When the “homeland security” agency was announced, I almost wanted to vomit. It is an acknowledgment of empire, and echo’s Hitler’s and his henchman’s verbiage.
I would add that the ‘biggest welfare bum” is also, the worlds most violent pimp, drug dealer(poppies anyone?), and historically genocidal organization mankind has seen.

Shit, GM beef and no bread – what sort of a sandwich is that?
Has Cap’ an Paul Watson addressed the issue concerning, death by sonar,.and other experiments by the Navy,. going on daily?
The most aggravating aspect of this is that the Navy has never attempted to demonstrate that it these tests and practices must be conducted without any consideration of the surrounding environment — that is, they’re insisting they be able to conduct them at any time and under any situation, regardless of impact.
No doubt these considerations would inconvenience the Navy, but it has never demonstrated that the tests cannot be conducted without making the appropriate situational assessments. It just wants to conduct them at its own convenience, and the public — and the animals — be damned.

different kettle of fish to your usual guests hey Max. Nice one.
Here’s an interesting clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWVXarkPOAo&feature=player_embedded
@Max,
An outstanding interview with Paul Watson!!! Thanks for it.
@Youri
“Captain Paul Watson I should buy up one of those oL Russian Icebreaker so that you can’t be sailed in half. On the contrary you could ram them back.”
An Icebreaker would probably be too slow to catch the Japanese Whaling fleet.
Capt. Watson is very familiar with ramming techniques, and how to destroy and sink a ship. He has sunk a half dozen pirate whaling ships so far, all without being convicted of any crime. He could easily ram and sink the Nissan Maru factory ship with the ships he has now. But keep in mind that Watson’s strategy is non-violent. Ramming a fully manned ship could easily cause fatalities. Instead he skillfully collides the ships at an oblique angle so as not to cause injuries, while his crew boards the other ship or coats their deck with skink bombs. This takes a huge amount of skill, since those ships don’t turn on a dime. See, eg.:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7874593.stm
@Wahrheit
Sea Shepherd already took on Norway’s whalers, and sunk two of their ships!!
2 Years ago, a Sea Shepherd offshoot group, Agenda 21, sunk another Norwegian whaler:
http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/news-090427-1.html
The reason gov’t's can’t legally do anything is that these ships were operating illegally to begin with. So the owners of the ships, themselves pirates, never go to the legal justice system for help.
But I take your point, that at some point if powerful enough people call you a terrorist, they can claim the right to kill you. That’s what Japan’s whaling industry is trying for now. They should have been charged for attempted murder of 6 crew of the Adi Gil when they deliberately rammed and sunk her, but instead the Captain of the ship they ran over was brought up on charges in Japan!
The discussion by Capt. Watson and Max about catching and freezing all of the Blue Fin Tuna to drive up the price as they go extinct really hit home with me. I heard recently somewhere (maybe here?) that banks are not releasing many really high end real estate properties back on to the market. Just the smaller/older/junkier stuff is being pushed for resale. A form of hoarding, perhaps, like tuna? Waiting years, if need be, for the older housing stock to erode from lack of occupancy, then suddenly these properties have -so- much more value…especially if there are fewer builders still around to make these things…
You wonder where else this paradigm could be in operation?
Well done..That may have some impact.
The comments about catching and freezing all of the Blue Fin Tuna as they go extinct to drive up the price really struck home with me. I have read that banks are holding back many high end properties for resale, and have been pushing more of the older/smaller/junkier stuff. A similar form of hoarding, like the tuna. Waiting years if need be for the older stock out there to deteriorate, then they have this newer stuff in good condition, getting more valuable as the number of builders able to create this stuff falls through bankruptcy? One wonders where else this paradigm is active…
Stacy said something like “…the conservatives’, you know the Republicans’, argument…”
I noticed that confusion of terms and then later you talk about the reinvention of words and meanings.
Orwell’s 1984 spends a good part of the whole book pointing out “newspeak” and how language can be used politically to deceive and manipulate people, leading to a society in which the people unquestioningly obey their government and mindlessly accept all propaganda as reality. Language becomes a mind-control tool, with the ultimate goal being the destruction of will and imagination.
Unfortunately the mutable meanings of words affects commentary by Max and Stacy too and has certainly destroyed quality debate on the Internet on any subject.. None of us understand each other at all anymore.
That is the plan. It not only affects the USA but all nations. It is a great ticket to speed up installation of the one world death and slavery system
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Oops, sorry for the double post, my machine locked up, thought the first one didn’t make it….
Nice S.S.C.S. history:
http://www.seashepherd.org/whales/sea-shepherd-history.html
And Marc A. said
“Don’t call them neo-cons. They are neo-nazis. It’s much more precise.”
So ya wanna talk about precision.
Neo-cons are Trotskyites, and Leon Trotsky considered himself an orthodox Marxist of the Bolshevik-Leninist, “communist”, style. Generally we think of “communism” being “the opposite” of “NAZIism.”
So when looking firm discreet meanings of a word, we always end up in the world of imprecision.
Do you think it is realistic to return to the gold standard? Many people feel that with an ever increasing population and limited resources of gold that there is simply not practical anymore. Do you agree with this? Are there any other alternatives?
Tony Blair must be prosecuted
http://www.johnpilger.com/page.asp?partid=583
Blair has demonstrated a voracious and secretive greed. Since stepping down as prime minister in 2007, he has accumulated an estimated £20 million, much of it as a result of his ties with the Bush administration. The House f Commons Advisory Committee on Business Appointments, which vets jobs taken by former ministers, was pressured not to make public Blair’s “consultancy” deals with the Kuwaiti royal family and the South Korean oil giant UI Energy Corporation. He gets £2 million a year “advising” the American investment bank J P Morgan and undisclosed sums from financial services companies. He makes millions from speeches, including reportedly £200,000 for one speech in China.

@Stacy
Loved the analysis. Those first few minutes…nice! This is the kind of “food” people (myself included) need to understand “what is going on.”
one caveat — please be careful in your summary of “Republican, Federal politicians” as they are not representative of people. These are elite positions and they suck. But ALL elite politicians suck. People still have not understood how they were sold out by this elite cabal of Federal bureaucrats in both parties.

How can you say economy reflects ecology when theres so much profit from extinction? They’re only convergence is when humanity gets it shit together and discovers some kind of harmony or when all life ends. Untill then its an e CON omy
Good interview
Loved the first 1/2 (all I have watched so far) — maybe the best 1/2 yet! Other 1/2s may have had more data, other 1/2s may have been more ‘ha ha’…but really loved the thinking in this 1/2, in particular.
Have always thought Watson was a big fat phony. A master propagandist. Personally I am against the unnecessary killing of anything, humans included. Watson doesn’t share that view. He is a reckless captain and closet eugenicist.
“We need to radically and intelligently reduce human population to fewer than one billion.”
“See the thing is the (harp) seal is very easy to exploit as an image. We have posters, we have buttons, we have shirts, all of which portray the head of a baby seal with tears coming out of it’s eyes.” -Paul Watson
“Earthworms are far more valuable than people.”
- Paul Watson, speaking at the Animal Rights 2002 convention.
It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true…. You are what the media define you to be. Greenpeace became a myth and fund generating machine.” (“Forbes”, Nov. 1991)
Patrick Moore writes (Early member of Greenpeace 1971-1986)
The Rise of Eco-Extremism
Two profound events triggered the split between those advocating a pragmatic or “liberal” approach to ecology and the new “zero-tolerance” attitude of the extremists. The first event, mentioned previously, was the widespread adoption of the environmental agenda by the mainstream of business and government. This left environmentalists with the choice of either being drawn into collaboration with their former “enemies” or of taking ever more extreme positions. Many environmentalists chose the latter route. They rejected the concept of “sustainable development” and took a strong “anti-development” stance.
Surprisingly enough the second event that caused the environmental movement to veer to the left was the fall of the Berlin Wall. Suddenly the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments.

well written. i had something like what you had in mind when I wrote my comment. but you articulated the idea SO SO much better. thanks!
Thanks!
@Jeannon @Fiat – the conservatives of the Republican party are the likes of Paul Craig Roberts and David Stockman; the neo-conservatives are the likes of Dick Cheney and John Bolton; the two are so different, they could be two parties; one is anti-freemarket, the other is not; one is pro big government, the other is not; one is for protecting the Constitution, and well we all know the other one destroyed it; when I think of Republicans, I think of the conservative sort under which I grew up; the neo-conservatives arrived, or became powerful, after I no longer lived in the US that they divided up into Red Team / Blue Team

@white hunter – all Dems are afraid of the master of neo-con propaganda, Rupert Murdoch/Fox, so they will always dance to their tune because that’s what alleged liberals do; you should see how pathetically poodle like the left is in the UK re: Murdoch’s papers; I am counting on the conservatives to take the neo-con fascists down; it looks like they are starting to actually stand up and do something; I won’t get my hopes up though
@Stacy thanks for info about the sea shepherd funding, but I don’t buy that. I’m not trying to be a troll here, have been reading and watching you and mAx for a long time and appreciate your work. Also can see how you are trying to tie activism to economy by means to bring the whole thing down. But really, commercial activism where rich-elite pay for fancy boats? c’mon! would it not be better to sink whaling boats while docked at port? And is it really necessary with extravagant boats?
@Stacy
we should get some analysis on this story: my thinking is that this is ground zero corruption. not this specific event but the accumulated efforts of politicians to “buy votes” (over the years). oddly, as far as I know, no one does analysis of the “political economy” where the currency is votes. so policies that get enacted from one economy (politics, votes as currency) are implemented and effect other economies, such as a “market economy,” where goods are exchanged for dollars as a currency.

@stacy
“all Dems are afraid of the master of neo-con propaganda, Rupert Murdoch/Fox, so they will always dance to their tune because that’s what alleged liberals do; ”
then they are no different and merit the same criticism
@WL
Isn’t trying to kill ideas on this blog our own attempt to eradicate what we deem wrong? There’s only so much cynisims to go around, in the end Watson does what he believes is right and he sees effects. You can choose if you want to spend the next 25 years trying to compete for an ever more lousy existence, or put your life in the service of a solution to the problems he (and a lot of other people) aknowledge.
@White Hunter
Democrats are TOTAL assholes. Anyways there is no difference. One is PURE EVIL the Republican Neo-Cons Neo-Nazis Zionists. The Democrats are the soft neo-cons neo-nazis ZIonists. So when do they nuke Iran ? After the november election or in 3 days ? Had a question. After Iran. What will be left ? Nuking Mexico ? Or Pakistan ? Rupert Murdoch is NAZI. PURE EVIL.
@Stacy
I am tired of freaking out every day over a new news item! I think there was some postings re the brain-eating vaccines yesterday or so. How can we implement an “economic solution” (ie capt paul watson) to prevent these plans? I cannot believe this…but I have gotten so paranoid. I trust no one. I am even a little suspicious of you and Max and everyone else here commenting (lol…sortof).
If this kind of stuff is real…well, then we ALL need to move everything off the table and make this ground zero! Once they have attacked our brains…well it is obvious.
How about some analysis on this: Anyone thinking strategically on this…once we can find this credible (that is, brain-eating…)

That’s what they are preparing: a fascist police state like in Augusto Pinochet Chili’s. One day you will be there and the other day you will have dissapeared in the middle of the night.

@Stacy
You should. It correspond to a brain lobotomy. They use a herpes virus genetically modified to eat the frontal lobe and hypothalamus. Destroys mostly the endorphines producing centers in the brain. Exactly like a lobotomy.
And I wouldn’t be surprised that you can transmit the little herpes GM with sexal relations. A type of brain AIDS in sum. These psychiatrists are fundementally demonic. In USSR most of the psychiatrists worked for the KGB. Same thing in Nazi Germany. The CIA bastards haven’t abandoned their experiment on brain control.
I see the potential for all type of uses. For US army recruits. For political opponents, For screwed investors. For disgruntled ex middle class slaves, For Irakis and ALL the subhumans we are for these Skulls and Bones neo-con naziis scums. I would prefer it to be a bad science-fiction novel, but no. That’s what these bastards are up to. And they are not even hiding themselves.

@stacyherbert
AJ is on about vaccines that creates immunity against specific neural receptors, for instance nicotinergic, dopamine etc. It can help in some addictions to do that. I have grave dounts this can be used to change personalitries, like desensitize for testosteron, but it may be. So there are no brain cells eaten, but possibly pathways blocked.
Artificial vaccines can be made to teach our immune system to attack most anything, so it could for instance cause arthritis, rheuma (is that the same thing?), neurodegeneration like MS etc.
The herpes virus is tested to treat cancer in the brain
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/128323.php
It should be noted that in this reseach the herpes is injected directly into the brain, which is important because there is a barrier for large protein (blood/brain barrier). This means you can not transport a virus from the blood into the brain (herpes travels along the neurons)..
@Marc
Some flues and herpes encephalites can cause damage to the corpus callosum, but I doubt that is the target as cutting the frontal part of it turns you into a plant.
First the important stuff: Stacy, you looked marvelous in that dark gown. As for Max, well it was striking, a purple tie with a purple shirt. Caught in a “purple rain” thunderstorm?
As for Greenspan, he can bite my donkey (and get kicked for his trouble). It is obscene that the government even borrows money since it has the authority to create it. The original idea of a national debt was to secure the loyalty of the rich to the success of the early US government. That need is long past.
As for Cpt Wallace, if he is truly anti-human (excepting his self, of course) then he is a nutter. As much as I sympathize with and love animals, I am not in favor of a pristine animal preserve it it means the murder of human beings by direct or indirect means.

Southpark lampooned Watson’s “Whale Wars” and Japanese whaling. It was hilarious and unfair, much like life.
We need to take back language. It is the principle human relation with the world. When it is usurped by nefarious interests to darken minds instead of enlightening them it pollutes experience with the world. Reminiscent of Shakespeare’s “Timon of Athens”, where the misanthropic Timon states Gold(meaning wealth–calm down Gold hawkers) can make “fair foul and black white” etc etc… We value wealth so much it devalues discourse. Socrates opposed the Sophists charging for their lessons because it devalued truth by making it marketable.
Bolshevism was never Marxist and Trotsky’s War Communism was imperialistic in its aims to extend the “revolution” worldwide, but to go further and state it’s similar to Neo-Conservatism beggars similitude(And I am no fan of Trotsky). Soviet Communism from Lenin through Stalin(who lapsed into Fascism) and on was the establishment of a police state with a crony political class that became an Oligarchy. Nazi Germany was a Capitalist form Oligarchy ran war economy. Read the Nuremberg interviews. The defendants all sound like Neo-Con apologists for the Iraq War when defending Nazi aggressions. In the mid 1930′s to 1940 US Bankers like Prescott Bush and Dulles loved the “Free Market” policies of Nazi Germany. The FBI of JE Hoover seized Prescott Bush’s bank because of its Nazi ties. First thing Hitler did was bring the big bankers and industrialists in as “partners” in the State.
There was nothing progressive about Nazism or Bolshevism. One brought famine, a police state and massive pogroms in the name of state security. The other was heavily financed by western banks, massive rearmament campaign and police state expansion, introduction of racial purity laws, political(mostly Communists) and religious(catholics) pogroms, and a rich oligarchy under a single leader. It excused these policies and it’s “preemptive strike” war policy as being a matter of “national security”. They had to eliminate “threats to their security interests”. It all sounds familiar when you remember the Iraq war propaganda and now we hear it again with the drumbeat to bomb Iran. The US is closer to Fascism in its race baiting, police state and finance backed military expansionism.
Arizona is the focal point of the new American Fascism. Crime is down in Arizona. Has been down for the past 10 years. They pump out propaganda that crime, kidnappings,etc have increased so much it has created a “crisis”. All lies which are refuted by facts on the ground. Rich white folks scapegoat Mexicans as “evil aliens invading their homeland”, much like the Germans scapegoated the Slavs and Jews after Versailles(cf. any piece of Nazi propaganda of the period). The parallels are frightening. When rich people feel a pinch or fear the middle class may scent what’s really wrong they bring out the scapegoats. Dirt poor immigrants working for slave wages at Agribusiness Co-ops and Meat Packing Plants have broken the US and not the Financiers. And the false propaganda about the drug war crossing the border. Please! The drug war in Mexico was escalated because their Gov’t introduced policies in compliance with the US DEA. Besides Afghanistan, Colombia(the first country we are occupying, the second we have a few bases and our gonna have 7 by the end of the year) Congo(tax dollars funding US backed troops to buy Chinese arms) and Somalia(fundamentalist overspill from Eritrean and Ethiopian Civil War–US armed northern groups in Ethiopia to invade The Sudan. Instead they formed a separatist movement and created a successionist state which broke off from Ethiopia—->Eritrea) Mexico is the most dangerous nation on the planet.
We also see the rehashed Southern Strategy of the Republicans. Watch FOXNews–it began with the bogus stories about ACORN. Recently it was evident in the New Black Panther Party non-event and the Shirley Sherrod gambit. It stokes white fears of “black rage” and scapegoats African Americans as the practicers or undeserving benefactors of “reverse racism”. Blacks outnumber whites 4 to 1 per capita in US jails and prisons. The poverty and education gap between minorites and whites is alarming. To claim there is reverse racism flies in the face of the truth.
Dare I mention the Mosque at Ground Zero nonsense? How about Islamophobia? Who kills more people every year? Muslims or the US Military? Who funded and armed the Islamic Fundamentalists in Pakistan and Afghanistan??

“Au fond de l’immanent et de l’illimite”.
I’m not surprised by the Comcast incident with billing. They are the worst US cable company. I have had good experience with Cox and Charter, however. Disclosure: I don’t talk my book since I don’t have one.
EXCELLENT SHOW MAX & STACY! Your shows are full of inspiring information and I get gung ho about fighting back….
Speaking of which…if I may change the subject….earlier this year I was on a crusade to help Wikileaks until a few suspicious things happened…which I told BONN about if you are interested I will tell you but since I have actually been censored by someone from Wikileaks or possible Wikileaks fan since I disagreed with them on some serious issues.
WHY ISN’T WIKILEAKS PAYING 100% FOR BRADLEY MANNINGS DEFENSE?
I got an email from a Bradley Manning organization that is asking for donations and mentioned that Wleaks is going to donate an undisclosed amount for his defense.
This is an outrage. At first I truly believed in Wikileaks but now I’m convinced that Wikileaks are nothing but souless exploiting bastards with a media whore complex. They hyped the Collateral Murder video and the 90,000 secret documents so now that they have garnered the fame through this poor US soldier why aren’t they paying 100% for his defense? They are responsible for this poor guy being in jail.
Have anyone of you really read the Wikileaks site? Have you noticed that it’s directly targeting the US government and not any other corrupt governments? Professor at Law – Matthew Guillen pointed out that US and Americans are an easy target and since we have freedom of speech we are most likely going to criticize our government which is what a democracy should be able to do hence US is an easy target. Wikileaks could easily get dirt because we aired it out for them. I would like to see Julian Ass. expose Chinese corrupt government officials or top secret videos inside the country of China like he did in the US on April 5, 2010 (with the Collateral Murder video) or go to Saudi Arabia and really cause some much needed havoc where individuals basically have no human rights whatsoever and are publicly beheaded. What about the murdered Russian journalists by the Russian government? What about Berlusconi’s “gag law” in Italy?
If you really want to make a difference then seriously research Wikileaks and ask yourself as well as the Wikileaks so-called established organization what their true motivation/agenda and decide if they are really being sincere and have America’s best interest at heart.
Look people, I am not qualified to make certain statements about these matters (I’m not trained) but I think that this virus carrying a custom payload will fail. I mean, consider the amazing complexity of the human organism; of live in general. This will backfire faster than you can say “John wayne”. This can’t work; expect mutations; sudden death and public outrage. Don’t worry. This will fail. Do you really believe it will assist in enslaving hundreds of millions of people?
….or shall I say do the have “journalistic freedoms’” and “democracy’s” best at heart?
….or shall I say do THEY (Wikileaks) have “journalistic freedoms’” and “democracy’s” best INTEREST at heart?

are we just going to assume “japan as model” because i am not sure on that one; who has written the best articles on deflation (in case you have this easily accessible); and since you have topics going down the right of the page, what about one that points to the “top 5 papers on deflation”
i know we are all suppose to be changing gears here but what does that mean for an economy to have deflation, given US, Europe parameters
you have linked as a feed ackerman’s article — but this more of the same, exclamation with explanation that I am seeing everywhere.

Max, Stacey, so glad you all are in this world! Stacey, your game is improving EXPONENTIALLY! Soon Max will be focused on you, rather than the other way around. No offense Max. After all, if we have any chance it will be by allowing women to rule. (Shit I don’t know how to do paragraphs.) So, New paragraph. As far as human population the ever so brave and intrepid Mr. Watson was off by half in that there should be no more than 500 million of us.
@WL Get a clue dude -this line you quoted is BS.
“The first event, mentioned previously, was the widespread adoption of the environmental agenda by the mainstream of business and government.”
Business and gummint Never adopted “the environmental agenda”
Rather they resorted to greenwashing and Regulatory capture as witness the EPA letting BP continue to use Corexit.

I hear over and over the stories of the transformation of street scenes in China’s biggest cities from hella bicycles to hella cars. Ready to give up your gas guzzler dude?

Don’t buy the BS in the mainstream crooners that “we in fact have created jobs.” It’s a lie.
This is where the media gets the claim “it’s getting better.” The problem with the claim is that it’s a lie, and if you read the entire report, it becomes obvious – they simply ignore the roll-down into “not counted” buckets for the long-term unemployed.
The truth is that the unemployment situation is 17% worse now than it was a year ago, from July 10th to July 17th it deteriorated, and that understates the case, as those who have exhausted the 99 weeks of “benefits” (all but 26 of which are a handout) don’t show up in the EUC 2008 line any more either!

The quote that got me:
Asian Crisis
“As construction was about to begin in 1997, the Asian financial crisis struck. Beginning in then-debt-ridden Thailand when the government was forced to abandon its currency peg to the U.S. dollar, the contagion spread across the region, sending currencies other than the nonconvertible yuan plunging.”

never ceases to amaze me how greedy ashhole men want to destroy the planet for a very short term gain of profit. Mankind doesn’t deserve to exist.
Far more resources should be spent to stop the keeling of the oceans and the oil companys raping and destroying the earth. War should be put upon these evil people until they are stamped out from the earth.

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. — Lowell Ponte “The Cooling”, 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000…This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. — Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. — Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century — Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. — Reid Bryson, “Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man”, (1971)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 — Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. — Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
To feed a starving child is to exacerbate the world population problem — Lamont Cole
Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby — Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists
We, in the green movement, aspire to a cultural model in which killing a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the sale of 6-year-old children to Asian brothels. — Carl Amery
The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans. — Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project
If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels. — Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund
Cannibalism is a “radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation.” — Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995
Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental. — Dave Forman, Founder of Earth First!
If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS — Earth First! Newsletter
The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought and traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state. – Kenneth Boulding, originator of the “Spaceship Earth” concept (as quoted by William Tucker in Progress and Privilege, 1982)

Ex-Goldman Sachs Employee Compares Working At Bank To Being A ‘Fluffer’ On A ‘Porn Set’
Peering into these deals was kind of like the zoomed-in penetration shot in a cheesy porn video: you could barely tell which end was up, which part was which, or, more importantly, who exactly was screwing whom. The quant aspect didn’t really matter at the end, as one lacrosse-playing Penn graduate would agree on price via phone with another lacrosse-playing Cornell grad, and life would resume its speedy course to another deal.
The sad truth is: quants were the eunuchs at the orgy. The fluffers on the porn set of high finance. We were the ever-present British guy in every Hollywood WWII film: there to add a touch of class and exotic sophistication, but not really matter much to the plot (and maybe even conveniently take some bad guy’s bullet).

inflation vs. Deflation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQjD2sw_eg4
From someone that had mid 90s “letters to the editor” of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat printed about this sleazeball Greenspan and his mid 90s gibberish articles on the economy that were absolutely incoherent (my letters met by almost 99% deaf ears I might add), all I can say when I hear him proclaim the American economy “broken” is: it is the very first time in history we witness someone eulogizing their own funeral.
Right, SIR ALAN? He did exactly what he was told, Mission Accomplished.
Btw Stacy: be careful about David Stockton. Yes, I also was drawn to his articles and observations, he seems truthful enough…but he works for Pete Peterson. The Neocon’s neocon. And where was David Stockton the Reaganite, say, as opposed to farang, who had letters to the editor published in the 80s San Jose Mercury News about how Reagan’s SS benefit hikes, using up the FICA supposedly being “saved up” for us Boomers one day, along with a huge run-up in Pentagon spending without any spending cuts to offset, along with piling up more dent than all the presidents before him, would absolutely bankrupt us “soon.”
That it didn’t happen in the next 30 seconds invalidated my assertions for 99% of my fellow northern Californians. farang was a “bit out there”, ya know?
Yes Max, we do live in a world of unreality, where words have lost their meanings, and this is intentional. You see, when you live through a trauma like the events of 9/11/01 and the obvious perps run free while the State imposes harsh “security sanctions” on the obviously innocent, people’s minds go numb. “What did I do to make us unsafe, I better straighten up and join the crowd!”
Surround another country, like we have Iran, and then say it is “just in case” like Mullen did a few days ago without defining “case”, then “just in case” loses it’s meaning.
“Liberating” a country kinda loses it’s meaning when we torture and rape and murder the ones we are “liberating”, doesn’t it?
Lastly, I see another “archaeological” story from the usual perps of falsity: supposedly some “really valid authority because we say so” Israeli “archaeologist” has found the village where “Goliath” lived. Yeah really, and I found one of Popeye’s discarded spinach can.
This is extremely “interesting” to me. You see, real archaeology has already proven, without any doubt, there was never any “Kingdom of David” nor any “Kingdom of Solomon” EVER in the land now called “Israel.”
Never. As in NONE. The land was mostly barren of settlement in the period alleged to be the time of “David” and his son “Solomon.” If you need proof, read some of Israel Finkelstein’s findings over 40 years of digging this region, he is the pre-eminent expert on the subject.
At ONE time, @ 800 BC or so, there was a TINY LITTLE “Kingdom” that was a vassal state of the Kingdom of Damascus, some priests there got together, and stole mostly Egyptian myths and history, with some Sumerian and Akkadian thrown in, and wrote a book called the “Torah”, and basically invented the history of the Jews.
“Tor” the word, Max, the root, means “to twist.” As in TORnado, TORniquet, TURn, TOuR, words do indeed have meaning.
But you have to operate on a different scale to comprehend how.
I could go on…but my point is” reality” loses it’s meaning when a near majority of the world’s people think their religion is fact based.
For “Jews”, “Christians” and “Muslims”, this is far from reality.
But we all suffer. Help me discard ancient paleolithic storm god nonsense from our collective minds. Preach reality, and “stuff of this world”, like balancing checkbooks. Like Peace. Like eliminating hunger world wide.
Like turning a spotlight on the good guys and what they accomplished and accomplish still, like Jimmy Carter. Vilified, for being honest and decent.
For instance, with his “Alternative Energy” policy, which Reagan immediately canceled, he had America’s oil IMPORTS declining his last two years…didja know that? Look it up….and ummm, no invasions of Panama, Grenada, or any other superpowers. And it was his Defense strategy of smaller, more mobile units for more modern scenarios, that Reagan took credit for.
No wonder msm wanted his character crucified. While Ronnie “made us feel good about America again” [Registered TM.] Wait until the Boomers that voted for Ronnie have their SS check’s bounce…..man, how ya feelin’ now, suckers?

Sorry, It is Stockman, not Stockton. Anyway, allow me a thought: in September, the definition of “anti-semitism” was changed in the Webster’s dictionary to include criticism of Zionism. Odd coincidence, I am sure. It’s just a word….
Now, talking about Stockman and his employer Reagan….anyone else my age recall the drama of the Republican Convention of 1976? It was kinda strange, there was this movement to nudge Ford aside, and have Reagan run instead? They did everything humanly possible to bypass the GOP bylaws, all televised on national tv, and have Reagan be the candidate…and why do I think it did not happen?
Well, because like Spector, like the Bush’s, like LBJ, like a bunch more folks I could list, Ford was being paid back for services rendered to the conspirators of the overthrow of our Republic in November, 1963.
Obviously.
Definition of anti-semitism changed in September of 9/11/01 btw.

British X-Files describe secret UFO encounters
Thu, Aug 5 06:13 AM
Britain released hundreds of previously secret “UFO files” on Thursday including a letter saying that Winston Churchill had ordered a 50 year cover-up of a wartime encounter between a UFO and military pilot.
The files, published by the National Archives, span decades and contain scores of witness accounts, sketches and classified briefing notes documenting mysterious sightings across Britain.
One Ministry of Defence note refers to a 1999 letter stating that a Royal Air Force plane returning from a mission in Europe during World War Two was “approached by a metallic UFO”.
The unidentified author of the letter says his grandfather attended a wartime meeting between Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower during which the two expressed concern over the incident and “decided to keep it secret”.
The MoD subsequently investigated the case but found no written record of the incident, the files say.
“… the MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of ‘UFO/flying saucer’ matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial lifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded,” it said in a 1999 note.
Britain has been slowly releasing long-classified files related to sightings of mysterious craft in the skies above its cities, compiled and investigated by the MoD over past decades.
Some cases subsequently received rational explanations, such as meteors burning up in the atmosphere, but many are unsolved.
One memo, dated 1997, contains reports of “sonic booms” and a mysterious plane crash in northern England. No wreckage was found in an ensuing search by the police and rescue teams.
Another incident refers to sightings of a “black triangular UFO” over the home of the shadow home secretary in Kent in the late 1990s. An investigation showed no breach of security.
In a case filed in 1995, the captain of a plane approaching Manchester airport reported a near-miss with an “unidentified object”, and a witness on the ground separately provided a sketch showing a UFO “20 times the size of a football field”.
An inquiry failed to indentify the object, the memo said.
Buried deep among meticulous sketches and MoD memos, some files refer to curious episodes in Britain’s history. During the Cold War, Britain sent fighter jets to intercept Soviet aircraft as often as 200 times a year, one MoD document showed.
The note, filed in 1996, said mystery sightings picked up on radar during the Cold War were invariably proved to be Soviet ant-submarine or long-range reconnaissance planes.
“Prior to the demise of the Former Soviet Union, aircraft were scrambled some 200 times annually to intercept and investigate uncorrelated tracks penetrating the UK Air defence region (AKADR) from the north…” it said.
The last such scramble was in September 1991 — around the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

@Bonn
There are leaking concealed alien info to get us ready for a show. Do not be surprised if a staged or real alien event should happen soon. People are being prepared.
@ SAO
its more than that I have nailed 5000 if not 200,000 years of history
the future aint lookin so bright they are really after de-population mate
I could explain the whole thang wait I got some werk to do but in another 4 hrs I will complie everythang and post it here.

OK so great, you attack the Japanese but I don’t think you are really addressing the problem that way as the brown people of the world seem way more willing to live in a sustainable economy. Killing all those whales though is pretty gross. to what ends
A brace of stories from the BBC that fit well with this topic. Here we have genetically modified canola in the wild,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-10859264
“We drove along them, we made 604 stops in a total distance of over 3,000 miles (5,000km). We found canola in 46% of the locations; and 80% of them contained at least one transgene.”
…and Monsanto recently acquired new licence to harm,
“The bio-tech company Monsanto can sell genetically modified seeds before safety tests on them are completed, the US Supreme Court has ruled.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10371831
@NicAbbo77 – the majority of people have no problem with a global tax paid to Monsanto on our food supply, they are just concerned with global tax on carbon
Max, This was your greatest show ever. I have been watching you for about 6 months now and following (and contributing to) Paul Watson for 20 years, so now I I have 2 heros in the world, Max Keiser and Paul Watson. You are right on the money connecting the rape of the natural world to the collapse of casino gulag capitalism, they are one in the same. I think it is best summed up by a bumper sticker I used to have, ” There are no jobs on a dead planet.”
@Talcott – I’m not sure if I’m an ologist but Steven Greer / ‘Disclosure Pro’ seem to me to be off key, acting as they do as a creativity magnet. Good link to a must-see interview though just to watch the body language.
Suggest a few hours listening to Dr Pete Peterson. Parts 1, 2 & 3 available in the menu here:
http://www.projectcamelot.org/interviews.html
Kudos to Project Camelot.
@ Talcott & @ What-me-worry?
I tinks Dr. Steven Greer has it partly right though the interview coulda have been more fruitful if Dr Steven was’nt interrupted so much and they focussed on the Technology aspect
I can bet me arse the Aliens are frightened of us lookey what we doin to ourselves we killin peeps in wars for insanely huge astronomical profits
We dont feed the 3rd world cause we want tem to Die
Like he said in the last 100 years we have killed some 160 mill peeps through wars and food deprivation
If I were an Alien race I too would be frightened of humanity
oks so they managed to disarm our Nukes once do it twice and we will know or already know how to prevent that
We aint that stupid either
So tey must be really scared of us tas me opnion
Hic
What I did’nt like about tis interview is that the Project Camelot team is now assuming stuff when they interview there guests who have actually werked on many cases
I mean see Max Keiser has werked on Wall Street so he has a right to say stuff
The project camelot team have been pure Journalists with a couple of Experiences
PS
Trust a woman to start all ta nonsense
lololololololol
ROFL

Tas why tee aliens probably encountered a woman first
and she woulda said “Guess why I’am upset ?”
and tee alien would be like WTF ?
lolololololol
There are NO ALIENS. Life is unique in the Universe and we on Earth are it. Read a book called Rare Earth by two non-theists if you don’t believe me. SETI has heard NOTHING despite years of intense listening. The odds of life forming by chance alone are beyond astronomical. They require a universe much, much, much, older and/or bigger than our universe.
“Aliens” are demonic impersonations as evidenced by the fact that most who report them have engaged in occult activity.
Randy: “Sea Shepard needs to develop a technology that will scare away the whales from the whalers. Wouldn’t that work?”
Yes, Sea Shepherd has though of this already. When the Makah Indians in Washington State US tried to start whaling, Watson bought a midget submarine and painted it like an Orca, the only known predator of the whales in question. He equipped the sub with Orca sound transmitting devices. I don’t know if he ever deployed this.
In the ongoing Anti-Japanese whaling campaign this wouldn’t work because SSCS’s main ships can’t catch all 4 of the hunter ships, but can catch the Nissan Maru factory ship. That’s why SSCS bought the fast Earth Race/Ady Gil, which intercepted the kill ships and blocked their vision with lasers. And I presume that’s why these very ships sunk the Ady Gil, since it was so effective in stopping their hunt.
“Unintentionally Defrauding” is double-plus good doublespeak. In my law books, fraud is a SPECIFIC INTENT TORT OR CRIME. You can’t survive a motion to dismiss unless you specifically state the “who, what, where and why” of the fraud. Basically, this ludicrous result is PABLUM – $100,000 to this crook is genius – he gets convicted (or ruled against) and pays a paltry sum, and is free to go on his way and continue UNINTENTIONALLY DEFRAUDING more millions of victims.
@ F. Beard
what if I told yas our Science is all fart our history is difinately all fart
tear are 2 levels of science one which is taught to us then there is another level
If you saylife is one in a million chances whats so special about us
Are we so great and anointed nonsense
The arogance of our race is so eeerrr eemmm stupid
Oks lets assume there are Aliens
Why would the Establishment fear that ?
Technology ,free energy
When yer dog barks at nothin its not an Angel or Ghost
Guess what tas a freakin Alien
Humans would rather believe in Ghosts and Angels than Aliens WTF
I get tired of repeatin me self but I could convince yas but
Wear the Tin foil hat google a lot more
I would start with history namely “Ancient Technologys”
Hic
Humans would rather believe in Ghosts and Angels than Aliens WTF Bonn
Once the statistical impossibility of Life’s origin in this universe is established then there are two remaining possibilities: There are either 1) an infinite number of other universes and we just happen to be in a lucky one else we would not exist to know it OR 2) we were planted here by a Creator. If 1) then it is highly unlikely that we even exist so the existence of aliens is even more unlikely. If 2), then yes, demonic impersonations of aliens is plausible.
Obviously, the “debt” Greenspan is speaking about is that created by the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank!
As long as foreign bankers can create money out of thin air and lend it to the Federal Government, the USA will always be run on “debt” – Debt which can never be paid down. That is why the US Constitution specifically makes the Federal Reserve Bank illegal!
Unfunded SS & Medicare debt = 102 Trillion
Plundered from other Fed Trusts = 57 – 67 Trillion (see hodges report)
Owed private bankers who print money = 25 Trillion
GAO est of FED Gov costs for next 9 years = 45 Trillion
Outstanding counterfeit Derivatives = 1.5 Quadrillion
