Stacy Summary: Interview with Joern Berninger from yesterday’s On the Edge, air date 27 August 2010. {Please note – Dr. Berninger had serious audio problems on his end, so that any time he spoke for more than 30 or so seconds the sound would become inaudible, so he kept his answers very short. This is why Max spoke more than usual!}

Max, You almost let Joern speak in this interview…
Nice to hear from the Doc again.
Cause your the Doc, Doc.
Damn, this is a good show.
Max, gettin’ down with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal.
Max, Stacy: Had to stop at the 5:00 mark before I lost this thought:
Want a short segment of howlers to read to your viewers?
Go back and look at the NY Times articles when the very first wave of bailouts, I believe TARP, was being introduced by D.C. pols, the msm supported it mostly across the board, then the public reacted negatively, and what happened?
You had a-holes like Leonhardt and Friedman writing articles with headlines like T.F.’s “Rescuing the Rescue!!” when it looked like we had killed that mofo.
Go back and look how they supported what has just been THEFT.
It’s all rotten to the core.
On a happier note, how much for a small ad for the “off-shored US Marxist C.T. public servant party”
Our platform? “Sure, we’re all Marxist conspiracy theorists out here, and will be harder to find if you have a problem than a decent English speaker when you call your credit card company….but at least we when we bend ya over, we won’t charge ya interest.”

Recommend you start with:
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/quality/air/airquality/publications/airqual-climatechange/documents/contents-execsumm.pdf
Advice: read each document section by section but do it backwards i.e. last section first. Confusion (and boredom) are evidently built in by design.
If you can’t be assed to read (all documents are VERY tedious and time consuming) the upshot is that the UN (through ‘expert’ witnesses) is firmly pressuring Agenda 21 despite any and all resistance from the people you have elected.

“MERS now holds over 62 million mortgages in its name, including over half of all new U.S. residential mortgage loans. But courts are increasingly ruling that MERS is merely a nominee, without standing to foreclose on the collateral that makes up a major portion of the portfolios of some very large banks. It seems the banks claiming to be the real parties in interest may have short-circuited themselves out of the chain of title entitling them to the collateral.

Sun storm to hit with ‘force of 100m bombs’
Read more: http://www.news.com.au/technology/sun-storm-to-hit-with-force-of-100-bombs/story-e6frfro0-1225909999465#ixzz0xy1eoplN
Sun ramping up for Solar Max
First Max event since mid-80s
US studies effects of ‘digital bomb’
This week several US media outlets reported that NASA was warning the massive flare that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet’s power grid.
NASA has since rebutted those reports, saying it could come “100 years away or just 100 days”, but an Australian astronomer says the space community is betting on the sooner scenario rather than the latter.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA’s been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates – 2012.
“The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years,” astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke said.
Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale.
US government officials earlier this year took part in a “tabletop exercise” in Boulder, Colorado, to map out what might happen if the Earth was hit with a storm as intense as the 1859 and 1921.
NASA said that a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause “$1 to 2 trillion in damages to society’s high-tech infrastructure and require four to 10 years for complete recovery”.

This is laughable and very sad, as are some of the comments. When the ruling class and media finally admit that it is they who implement a feudal hierarchy that uses debt servitude and a total sense of superior entitlement, then we can have a realistic debate about poverty in the UK.
Its all about removing the banking agenda of vast sophsiticated fraud. Janet Daley nothing you talk about is relevant unless you face up to feudal hierarchy, the class system and banking fraud which go hand in hand.
So what next Janet? will you be doing what the BBC seems to think is appropriate and go in for a eugenics debate and have intellectual crazies like jaded_jean stalking the blogs like a crazed Nazi spartan.
This is why we need Max, Janet Tavakoli and Mr Black to explain it on mainstream media.

Not much cicadas here until November (when they hatch) so I can’t say just yet. I suspect though, that given food water, etc. that things will happen according to nature. Thus if climate change is real (unlike some other posters’ here, I feel that it is) then we’ll notice changes.
There is a predicted Locust plague here though. That doesn’t’ sound good! (But I guess we’ll have to wait and see)

Almost nothing in the rest. A little bit of Martians in Saskatchewan. Expected when you know how deadly boring the place is. The locals invited the Mratians from Wilshire. Nothing from Eastern Europe, India., Africa, Russia, Romania,Ukraine or Kazakhstan. It’s true Martians have a lot in common with the Bristish. I knew it all along !
“Mr Blair will not be in Britain on Wednesday for the launch of his book, the proceeds of which are being donated to the Royal British Legion.

All the intelligent discussion, yet still weak. When are we going to have the balls to talk about the most critical factor? Human overpopulation has to be controlled. War, poverty, poor health care, is all in the interest of the government to fight the population bomb. Until humans can face enlightenment and stop reproducing, the actions of the elite are justified to a large extent. While our rulers are selfish and blind it seems so is everyone else beneath them.

That lie withers with the dying sun
That lie wasted in the heavens lone
Whispers true my love
Never lonely
Lives yet lives
Patience fretting like a swollen seed
Wracked with furtive chase hostility
Weed mine wrapped long
Taken twice
Yet lives
Dancing frolic sing the besting waves
Roiled and awkward swollen lonely knaves
Upon the hunt
See my pulse
Rather yet
Doth say
Nature spells a rapid death
True love twists a stronger thread
Taken naught from time
Dropping stitch divine
Mine dear

Love is nearer death.
Prove that I lie.

@ Marc Authier
Thanks for my first smile for my morning (I’m in Aus and I’ve just gotten up to read news, etc) — referring to your last sentence.
Yes, well it’s certainly odd that if there was any reality to this phenomena (which I believe there is) that it seems so geographically tempered. But that’s all we have for the moment.
Just for the record, my belief that some are not man-made stems from a wide array of factors that I couldn’t possibly do justice to in one post. But in the spirit of nonsensical brevity:
‘Real’ crop circles don’t have broken stems which is what happens when “men with planks” attempt to craft one. They are more ‘bent’ or ‘swirled’ together. There is also evidence of heat/microwave shaping. The soil has microscopic evidence of molten iron particles.
Then there are some shapes which demonstrate (imho) incredible creativity and ingenuity. — These are not ordinary field graffitiists!
And one was found to explain a piece of basic mathematics that was not known before. That some person would rather tramp their discoveries in a field than get recognition and acclaim in an academic journal, strikes me as being just unlikely.
Frankly even if I was wrong, some are jaw-droopingly beautiful (both visually and mathematically). There should be some kind of annual Oscar award no matter where they originate from! But to just think that the evidence suggests that they could be… I mean, wow.

@F’er…bardsley:
You’ve got to be kidding. Wahl, that’s easily remedied.
Snoot’s been thinking, ronron. See, I sat next to a very old woman last week. Her eyes looked like the ocean, alternating between green and blue. But her skin was mottled with black and wrinkled, her joints swollen, and her voice shaky. She informed me that she did not feel old on the inside. She said it was odd that this occurred to her.
Then this morning I sat next to a young Asian man. He told me he got into a fight and was put out of school for a week. They call they suspension here. He said he never graduated. Because this white ‘redneck’ called him a “chink”. The redneck said, “Are you a chink”, and that was the end of this young man’s high school career.
Not that that matters. What is relevant between the two people I sat next to is that we exist for a time within a frame and a context that is forever changing. So why do we, as humans, insist on pinning labels on one another that have less to do with reality than last week’s discount tag at the retail shop?

I agree that it’s intriguing (and/or suspicious) that it’s mainly a UK phenomenon. But in fact they have occurred in South America, Canada and Australia. Not being a serious ‘kook’ in this in this area, I can’t presently comment on the other countries you specifically mention.
There is also some evidence that it’s not just some 20th century phenomenon either, though the geometry of the patterns has definitely advanced over the more recent period.

I was originally a skeptic, but I attempted to approach the subject objectively and scientifically. I am now convinced that whilst some Crop Circles are undeniably faked (i.e. man made see: http://www.circlemakers.org/) others — astonishingly enough — appear to be absolutely not.
As to what makes these ones and why, I have no idea. But given some of the mathematics that some display, it’s definitely of intelligent origin.
One very excellent documentary (called “Contact”) [ http://www.circularsite.com/index1.html ] has this excerpt on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MLvq73TX94 that’s worth watching.

The following memo has been posted:
Thank you for visiting our website.
We at GENEPAX have strived to develop new technologies to enable environment friendly energy systems, to mitigate environmental risks such as those posed by global warming. The systems that we have proposed have received warm words of support from many people. However, we have yet to overcome the many obstacles we face in the current world, to bring our systems to market. Moreover, the costs of development have become very large. As our resources are very limited, we need to retrench and reassess our resources and our development plans at this time, and we are accordingly closing our website.
We express our deep gratitude for the supportive messages we have received. We hope that you will continue to be supportive of efforts to develop cleaner and more environment friendly energies, and we will continue to strive to develop systems to preserve our environment.

Just FYI
OK Daruka,
Here’s a miracle for you. I was in Washington State in Freeland on Whidbey Island at the local supermarket. Now i was really into experimenting with faith at that time. My mantra was “The Lord is my Shepard”. A friend of mine and I were looking for a video, without success. I wanted to impress her with the power of God so I said. “Let’s just think , ‘the Lord is my Shepard’ “. We did and within 12 seconds we found the video we wanted. She was impressed. The Lord does hear prayer.

@ F. Beard
You should try chanting Nam-Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo. I have been doing it 35 years . Fantastic philosophy. You don’t have to give up your Bible.
FYI, the chant Nam-Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo roughly translated means.
Devotion to the Mystic Law of Simultaneous Cause and Effect thru SOUND.
It was first chanted on april 28, 1253 by Nichiren Daishonin, the True Buddha who fulfilled the prophecy of Gautama Siddhartha Buddha 2000 years earlier. The essence of the Lotus Sutra is that chant. BTW, the Lotus Sutra has 80,000 Volumes.
When I started chanting in 1976 I was very poor and had been living in my car.
I managed to scrape enough money to get an apartment. I needed a mattress .. my Japanese lady friend who introduced me to it said ”chant for a mattress’;’ . I laughed. are you serious? she said sure. chant for ANYTHING. so I did,\
3 days later someone down the hall was moving and had a brand new mattress and didn’t want to haul it and asked if I wanted it.
everything is cause and effect.
I can cite literally many times that I have been ‘saved’ by the chanting.
I won’t go into detail because some of them had to do when I was still flying.
I will give one small real life example ….some young American buddhists were backpacking thru Europe in 1988 . Their return flight to the states was to leave from Frankfurt by Pan Am. They had a flat tire on the autobahn and missed the flight. ‘Get it”? There are literally thousands of experiences similar.

@Mother,
My chief use of the Bible online is to reform the banking and money system. I stick with the Old Testament for the widest possible audience. I use it against Austrians to chide them about debt forgiveness. I use it against bankers to chide them about stealing from the poor. I use it against war-lovers to chide them for their love of violence. I use it against centralizers to remind them that God is for decentralization and liberty. I use it against goldbugs to remind them that lending at interest to one’s countrymen is forbidden.
Our enemies profess to believe the Bible and in many cases I believe they do. Then let them obey it with regard to money.

Cisco is like the FED. Massive onanism.
It’s called in the case of Ciscon vendor financing. A Ponzi scheme. Creating ficticious profits and sales by financing all the sales with your own balance sheet is plain dumb and a criminal fraud.
It will be real funny when all the vendor sales become bankrupt and the ‘sales’ are transformed into huge losses. Nortel Network and Lucent tehcnologies did the same thing during the internet bubble. Today Nortel and Lucent shareholdes have been totally wiped out. What’s amusing with Cisco is that a chineese competitor offers about the same products at a tenth of Cisco’s sale price.
and why do you feel your perception of the world (that can;t corroborate the assertions) is inferior to that of the person profeting this aledged truth. Mother Earth
Experience has taught me that my perception of the world is inferior to the Bible. I don’t feel inferior to other people though; we all have our strengths and weaknesses. And though I have looked hard, I have found no human worth following without a grain of salt.
Actually, I see positive divergence on weekly charts of all the indexes.
Not a prediction but a possibility, maybe a double top (with the April high) coming.
The positive divergence is pretty large.

@Laragh,
That guy sounds like a robot himself.
I would set aside for a minute any speculation that the bond market can crash for now. Just look at the yields. As long as there is aggregate demand for bonds and bond price appreciation, then there will be price appreciation in the bullion.
Bullion would be acting like a zero coupon bond, but also the sole financial asset that remains above any currency devaluation. I think its right to say that the asset price deflation about to occur will be perceived as THE crash, though we’ve had so many. The crash of the Nickel price, the crash of the Uranium price, the crash of the Oil price, the crash of Copper, the stock market crash, the flash crash, any end every speculative hopeful out there is now subject to another complete rout.
Also, anybody trying to gainsay the coming crash in sovereign bonds has to wonder first what happened to all of those Chinese Yuan printed up so conveniently to pay for the U.S. treasuries, and who in the right mind would allow that kind of transaction? As much as the Chinese have been “purchasing” U.S. treasuries the untradeable kajillion of Yuan has to be sitting in escrow somewhere. All of it worthless counterfeit commie cominterm, Batman!! And perhaps the Chinese aren’t buying any treasuries any more because of convertibility problems with their currency? Has anybody though about that? Hanh? Well did you?
I would say that the onset of the crash will blow out the speculators, and first and foremost will be the Chinese real estate market, along with it the Yuan, which will have to depeg. The Chinese selling treasuries? Not on your life. They just can’t print up any more atrocious rinminbi to buy treasuries, because the commercial banks are actually trying to pass them off on other people.
Its all ridiculous nonsense.

No, I don’t think so. Truthfully, I find reading the Bible exciting enough. Also truthfully, I do like to thump a bit but apparently the Lord does not always approve so often when I do a search on a passage, I can’t find it! And often what I do find reproaches me instead,
But chiefly my interest is economics, not saving souls.
The FED is practising onanism with its debt and the treasuries. Ben Bernanke as an onanist. Funny picture.
PS@ the likes of Sheriff Mack
The priorities IMO would be :
#1 fire all the Judges that have not honored their offices
#2 BigMedia entities such as CNN, CNBC etc. to be nationalized
#3 dis”band” the FED

#5 revoke all other laws that are not in line with the Constituion

That will be the time when the Blackwaters and other security firms are the most dangerous. The analogy of the U.S. fall compared to the French revolution or the Soviet collapse is weak when you think about these vast well-funded security firms. The soviet Union was over militarized but they had more of a check on their activities then Blackwater. The system is completely feral.
@Mark Lytle …. just as the Roman soldiers did … sold their weapons for food .
My hope is that the likes of Sheriff Mack – who is currently going ’round the States educating other Sheriffs on their Constitutional powers – will form a movement and Cancel the Union contract & reinstate a “constitutional” Federal Govt. with the right people in place.
That would of course mean a US$ collapse at first … but that’s probably the least of their problems.

Re: your article about military spending.
At some point, when this overhanging prediction of a crash by so many does finally occur, which will possibly be when bond yields climb out of their channel, that’s when we won’t be able to fund the military any longer.
Then the Military-Industrial Complex crashes. Talk about unemployment, when the vast volunteer army is set adrift.

About crash in 3 weeks.
Anything is possible, but I suspect Mr. Berninger is aware of the same charts that I posted here over the last two days, that treasury yields had fallen almost but not quite to the low point of December 2009, and then in the last few days, turned up.
Thus Marc Faber’s ‘line in the sand’ held and the bottom in yields was indeed late last year.
On this basis, people are saying the final storm has started.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Technically yesterday the stock market started recovery from an oversold bounce. That should go on for a few days at least. Also on the Russell 2000 you can see this bounce as the right side of a double bottom, with the left side being July 1,2010. That’s a two month wide double bottom, which provides some stability for a little while.
Anything is possible, true, but right at the moment, I don’t see it in three weeks. Unless some political thing happens like an overnight devaluation of the dollar by some big amount, or something like that….

Also, isn’t it great, as per the title of the article , that what they do is “monetary science”
What a hoot!
Central Bankers get way bolder.
From Jackson Hole, Today August 28th on Reuter’s Main News Page.
“Fiscal “alchemy” must mimic monetary science”
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67R13H20100828
If I read this correctly, they are saying that Congress is inept (and by extension, also are the people who voted them in), and for the sake of professionalism, the central bankers must endeavor to ‘influence’ fiscal policy.
Excerpt:
“Central bankers are likely to have to pay more attention to taxation and budgeting in the future as the stresses from the financial obligations of retirement programs increase, he said.
Since there is general agreement that central bank decisions should be made without political meddling, financial markets can be reasonably confident of policy makers’ responses to a slowdown in economic growth or a rise in inflation, Leeper said.
However, no such predictability exists for fiscal policy, which can shift with political winds.”
Translation:
So they want to extend the Central bank’s mandate beyond printing money and creating ponzi schemes, to full governance, taking on taxation and spending, i.e. usurping the constitutional role of Congress.
They make some comments about retirement programs and Social Security, about the debate over reducing benefits or raising taxes.
Don’t we want Central Banks to handle these things too?
Sure. Right.

Frankly, I think it is absurd and obscene that the US Treasury borrows money to begin with. As a sovereign country, the US has the right to simply spend money into existence as English kings once did with tally sticks. Government bonds were a means to secure the loyalty of the rich to the new US government. That need is long past. No one should have the right to collect interest (gathered at gunpoint) for loaning money to the government when the government can simply issue money itself, interest and debt free.
Ah well, way past bedtime. I’ll wait to see how the show ended.

My likely explanation for crop circles are people with very long string, a design that’s been scaled up, some planks of wood and a quant worked out how to very accurately set this out on the ground. I’m going long on that.
The show is just not the same without her.
Argh! Where is Stacy? I’m going into withdrawal.
@John – maybe you’re right. I’ve witnessed the subtle fold on each seperate blade of the crop and it’s beyond my comprehension – so intricate at the ‘grass root’ level so to speak. No crushing or scraping – it’s like each blade has been bent by hand.
I love the idea that it’s creative imagination of some sort manifested as a gift to our senses.
I think the most likely explaination for crop circles is satellite microwave energy. A pattern is loaded into a computer, transmitted to a satellite and then gently burned into a crop field.
I get the feeling they have a lot to do with the burial mound barrows. I’ve met a few hemphead circle enthusiasts (no insult intended) and they tell me the eternal energy source ot the buried gnostics attract cosmic energy as they continue their ‘dreamtime’. No proof but it appeals to my senses. There seems to be a correlation between our sun’s activity and the frequency/elaboration of the circles too so maybe EMF has a part to play. So pleased you get a good feeling from them too!
Holy smokes Max, let your guest speak!
@What-me-worry? … yeah, amazing works of art.
I still haven’t heard of a reasonable explanation yet.
IMO, they are probably not man.made … if that was the case, the story would probably be out by now .

@MirrorMirror – I live in Wiltshire some of the time (when I’m not in Japan). I’m just blown away by crop circles and have been lucky enough to visit a few near my home (5 mins from Stone Henge). At the very centre of the circles you have no radio or mobile phone signal – step just 6 inches from the centre and your transistor radio and mobile kick back into life. There have been far more this year but far less msn press reports. The 3D one on the vid is just sublime.

Firstly :
More important than trying to guess the date of the next crash ( like waiting for the GBP to crash ) , is to understand that JPMorgan “owns” the Derivatives market AND JPMorgan “is” the FED basically.
Secondly:
With a Nov. election coming, it is unlikely that the US GOvt./FED(JPM) will allow a crash to happen beforehand.
Read up on Hamilton’s essay on “The JPM Derivatives Monster” , whereby owned ca. 60% of ALL US derivatives way back in 2001.
What the number is now, no idea .. but probably far bigger IMO.
