    I watched this show “arse-about-face”: caught the interview last night and caught up with the Stacy segment today via the “interweb”. The interview was a great overview of the fraud in the system and the Stacy snippets bring up bang up to date with the latest bankster antics.

    I definitely needed my KR fix.

    This is just something to take note of, anyone anticipating rioting and looting in the future:

    DON’T!

    If you so much as look the wrong way at an iPad or even a two bob bottle of plonk left lying in the street, you’ll do serious time.

    Instead, try a more classy alternative used by our betters and masters: shove your cock in the mouth of the nearest banker and come, remembering, of course, to recite the protective mystical Masonic chant, “You know you love it really, biii-itch!”

    You’ll walk scot free

    Well, it certainly worked the charm for DSK!

    Wow. Listening to this interview takes your breath away. That CAF was harassed and threatened with harm in her role as honest housing regulator says it all. This should go viral so everyone can start to wake up see the sorry state of affairs our country has become

  5. KDL | August 23, 2011 at 7:52 pm |

    Max,
    you refer to Keynesian policies. I wonder where you see them, because i haven’t seen them anywhere the past years. Keynesian politics would implie that the government invests (printed or not) money in a real economy, in real production, real schools, hospitals, roads, infrastructure and whatever, even state-owned factories and agroculture if necessary.
    Yet all money governments have been ‘investing’ actually went to the virtual and fake financial bubble-economy. There are no new roads, hospitals, schools, farms or factories being build.

    This isn’t really Keynesian economics, it’s simply bank robbery on a global scale.

  6. Flopot | August 23, 2011 at 7:54 pm |

    @Markar

    You are right. When Catherine Austin Fitts starting talking about violence I thought, “omfg not another libertarian” but she was referring to REAL threats of violence. Definitely an eye-opener and a reminder that the corporatists always need sleazebags to do the dirty work on the ground, e.g. those private detectives, reporters and policemen doing the dirty work for News Corp.

    It is like the new guy on the block in Libya, Mahmoud “Gerbil” Jibril. He will beat his people into submission with his security forces in order to implement his corporatist agenda. The police and the army will do his dirty work for him.

    Ye’, but what Krugman’s really saying – in two-faced bastard code! – is America and the West should launch an all out war on someone, (incredibly rich in resources to make it worth our while but powerless enough to be only capable of ongoing token hit and run resistance), possessed of an ideology that can be used to enable the antics of the unspeakably rich to become invisible again behind the blanket of national security, while at the same providing a bogeyman to make the poor and the middle classes accept their lot as taking one for the team, i.e., exactly what’s just happened in Israel.

    (I really thought there for a moment the ordinary Israelis’d finally woken up to the fact they’re under a Blairian ‘meritocratic’ totalitarian regime under the Tycoons, the elite Jewish families who lord it over them as much as the Saudis lord it over the Arabs:

  15. acomfortablehat | August 23, 2011 at 8:29 pm |

    Thanks Max … tell Katherine some of us have been aware of and appreciate her efforts.

    The difficulty stems from a monetary, economic religion that has no relationship to the natural order of things. Such an environment is a malignancy, it can only be disassembled and discarded; but who will “Bell the Cat”? We perceive the cat, with the habitual, subconscious mind which is a tactical error; the conscious, creative mind just may be a far better tool.

    We have been living through phase 1, the great equity strip. Phase 2 we now watch, and feel, the brunt of the metamorphosis from plutocracy to autocracy. Follow Khaddfi’s 114T of gold; sooner or later the hand will play out.

    Max, Stacy, in the interview with Catherine Austin Fitts, she refers to trillions of dollars being mysteriously hived off, but since these trillions aren’t real money but virtual phantasms, isn’t this one of the reasons for busting the balls of the likes of the Greeks, because it allows the bastarding Banksters – and their puppet masters behind the scenes – to launder their pretend moolah into real assets like Greek gold, the Acropolis, tourist goldmines like Delphi, all those gorgeous Aegean islands, etc., etc.?

  20. JonnyJames | August 23, 2011 at 9:02 pm |

    @KDL
    You raise a good point, I don’t think JM Keynes would even recognize this f-ed up situation if he came back to life.
    Besides, “Keynesian” economics would tell us that the surpluses amassed during the boom cylce could be used to stimulate aggregate demand by investing in productive activity. This time around they ran up huge deficits during the boom cycle, with near-zero interest rates. In this situation there can be no “Keynesian” economic policies. Only fraud, lies, distortions and kleptocracy.

    Krugman’s “alien threat” would work in that all able workers would be put to task.
    Sure, the lords would find a way to prosper, don’t they always. But kruggie is delineating how a disaster foments cooperation and goal-seeking in the populace.
    Bad behaviour in/by/of the banks. And .gov. Obviously to hide the fraudulent activities of a number of persons involved in the scheme.
    The CBs do not reside outside of the “economy”. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=192809
    Yes, war might be a hidden meme. Does Chavez work with or is he a “loose cannon”?
    Jim Rickards is taunting the less-weaponized!
    No, the bond market is being bought up by cash pools and the fed….did you read the link i gave you? And this: http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.5728 (36 pages of woe)
    Gold is a sponge……a lot of fiat gets “stored” in the yellow metal! Think, what are the gold sellers doing with the fiat on the other side of the trade?
    SnP…..the call….you say it’s right…….prove it. In a relative universe, shit happens.
    Sure, all rating agencies are shills, all shit….but some act on it. Law….snore….
    RICO…..snore….maybe some day?
    Yup, fraud has blocked any real growth in the “economy”….got it in 1.
    Fitts is a good person!
    But Max, here’s the thing. Tarpley is such an optomist that he asks for tobin tax and infrastructure investment (like he believes the world will continue more or less like it has in memory). BUT, the mayan mindset folk seem to think that the surface of the earth will be decimated (thus, no infrastructure will help). And third, folk like you who want to “burn it down” and “to hell with the consequences”.
    Crazee times!

    Great interview. I’ve been aware of this for awhile now but it was great to hear it from someone like CAF. Bob Chapman has been speaking about it for years. I suspect that the money ends up at the Vatican Bank. We really need to rope off The District of Columbia, 5 blocks in London, and the Vatican. Just stop all dealings with these people. They use the taxes collected by the IRS – illegal under the Constitution by the way -, give it to the MIC, control the worlds drug trade, and launder it thru the banks. They create fraudulent CDO’s and CDS and bankrupt countries and steal all the shit at the point of a gun. How do we stop it ? Check out the links below.

    Max, you wasted the interview! Fitts was bringing up the “PLAN” and no time left!
    The question seems to be……..why no “new deal” ? Do the lords fear the “mayan mindset” so keep their loot close? Do they fear “riots and mayhem”?
    Would you build a bridge over a small creek just before a 100 year flood?

    Stacy,

    At 9:27 you are describing how the rating agencies gave AAA ratings to mortgage-backed securities. During the hearings, the agency analysts provided insight to the practice. Per the rating agency analysts at the time, the mortgage-backed securities were rated AAA because they were being compared to other derivatives, and not to other AAA-rated instruments. They were the ‘best looking horses in the glue factory’. Some responsibility falls on the purchasers of these securities, as the comparisons to blue-chip stocks and T-bills were imagined by the funds, banks and other purchasers.

    The problem, even with “good” Keynesianism, is that infrastructure projects get undertaken, the purported benefits of which are determined by a cadre of government “experts”.

    How the fuck do they know where to allocate a society’s energies?

    Central planning only works to the benefit of the central planners.

    If people would focus on what they do know about who bribes the officials of the governments of the world, about which directors that sit on the boards of multiple trans national corporations, and about who controls the debt based monetary system, and start eliminating those people, a lot of the worlds problems would vanish.
    (Then if they still want they can look at the alien angle).

    Homeowners May Have to Pay for Quake Damage

    Homeowners won’t be covered by standard property insurance policies if there’s any damage following today’s 5.8 magnitude earthquake centered near Richmond, Virginia.

    Earthquake protection is generally excluded from standard homeowners’ insurance policies, and consumers have to purchase coverage either as a separate policy or an endorsement to an existing policy, said Michael Barry, a spokesman at the Insurance Information Institute in New York.

    CAF told it like it is… we have a totally lawless oligarchy that is running amok over the sovereign nations of the Earth… It must be dealt with in kind. No group or politician who claims that we must use “the law” or work within “the system” is going to fix this by using the avenues of recourse that have given to the people by design because this is their designated mechanism of control… a thoroughly corrupted system that gives the people a veneer of hope that they can somehow correct the deficiencies by obeying its “laws”.

    I heard her interviewed by Dennis Bernstein on Flashpoints, where she said that stocking up on household commodities was a great idea due to rising inflation. She also said that stocking up on toilet paper was a better idea than investing your cash in the PonziCasino, bonds or the like.
    Toilet paper holds value better than USDs – for real no joke!

    @Youri
    I don’t think so. The majority of the population of Bolivia is indigenous, they don’t think like that and they don’t want any part of that BS. If you mean the Empire attacking, instigating a coup, or assassination attempt on Morales, it has already been tried and so far, has failed.

    It will mean that Bechtel will not be able to take over the water rights, privatize them and hold the population hostage. This law is a reflection of the indigenous culture, not the colonial imperialist

    There was a shipping strike back in the 70′s in Hawaii. Hawaii receives most all of its consumables by ship if anyone did not already know this… TP was a prized commodity and people who were lucky enough to get it were getting mugged in the market parking lots and their purchases taken. Just a small glimpse of what will happen when the system breaks down.

    I say learn about the SDR and Bitcoin. The SDR is coming, Gold will be 1000SDR and Chavez, and China not only want it, they need it.

    How is the New Venezuelan currency going. Have they removed all their old notes yet??

    So Robert the new Zen. Love the SDR, or learn to use Bitcoin. !!

    ” … The pair then confront Veidt at his Antarctic retreat. Veidt explains his underlying plan is to save humanity from impending Atomic war between the United States and Soviet Union by faking an alien invasion in New York City, which will annihilate half the city’s population. He hopes this will unite the nations against a perceived common enemy. He also reveals that he had murdered The Comedian, arranged for Dr. Manhattan’s past associates to contract cancer, staged the attempt on his own life in order to place himself above suspicion, and eventually staged Moloch’s death to frame Rorschach. This was all done in an attempt to prevent his plan from being exposed. Finding his logic callous and abhorrent, Dreiberg and Rorschach attempt to stop him but discover that Veidt has already enacted his plan. … ” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen

    Unfortunately, the local officials are obsessed on robbing, threatening, harrassing and assaulting the “disabled”, while the public sniggers, and snarks. CAF lived to tell the story (and this is her glory). Most of us don’t make it that long.

    It would be nice if they didn’t feel the need to use emotive sexism to sell such a pivotal issue.

    Shouldn’t that read… Bolivia Set to Pass Historic ‘Law of Mother Earth and Father Heaven’ or better simply “Law of the Earth” or even “Law of Humanity”, Which Will Grant Nature Equal Rights to Humans

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1680121.ece
    Russia has unveiled an ambitious plan to build the world’s longest tunnel under the Bering Strait as part of a transport corridor linking Europe and America via Siberia and Alaska.

    The 64-mile (103km) tunnel would connect the far east of Russia with Alaska, opening up the prospect of the ultimate rail trip across three quarters of the globe from London to New York. The link would be twice as long as the Channel Tunnel connecting Britain and France.

    Its just part of the bullshit shmooze of the sheeple.

    More credible liars to spin the yarn of the presstitututes (as Gerald C calls them)

    We all know QE3 is on its way. Hoooray!

    Goldman Sachs braced for legal battles over financial crisisUS lawyer, Jake Zamanksy – who led pursuit of investment banks after the dotcom crash – predicts wave of legal actions
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/aug/23/goldmansachs-banking
    Goldman Sachs, the embattled investment bank, will face an array of legal claims focusing on its conduct during the financial crisis, one of Wall Street’s most feared lawyers warned last night.

    The prediction of an escalation in cases is being made by Jake Zamansky, the US attorney nicknamed “Jaws” who spearheaded the successful pursuit of the investment banks after the dotcom crash. It follows a move by Lloyd Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, to hire Reid Weingarten, one of America’s top criminal defence lawyers, to help him address claims that the bank misled clients in the run-up to the financial crisis and, afterwards, Congress.

    “I consider this to be a very significant event. For Lloyd Blankfein to be hiring a top criminal lawyer indicates that there may be allegations of wrongdoing forthcoming from the Department of Justice [DoJ],” Zamansky said. “Investors are asking why there have been no criminal cases against Goldman Sachs or any investment bank arising from the financial crisis. This may be a sign of more cases to come. It may be the beginning of a series of cases against Wall Street firms”.

    It is interesting that she mentions London inner city and that “they” consider themselves above the law.

    Did you know that London inner city, Washington DC as well as the Vatican are actually three independent city states? How strange is that? The US government actually resides *OUTSIDE* the US!!

    See: http://bonfiresblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/the-trinity-of-global-empire/
    “The Global Government System:
    City of London (finance)
    Washington DC (military)
    Vatican City (religion)

    The aforementioned city-states listed above are sovereign, corporate entities not connected to the nations they appear to be part of. In other words, the City of London (that is the square mile within Greater London) is not technically part of Greater London or England, just as Vatican City is not part of Rome or Italy. Likewise, Washington DC is not part of the United States that it controls.”

    “Washington DC operates under a system of Roman Law and outside of the limitations established by the US Constitution. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that the name Capitol Hill derives from Capitoline Hill, which was the seat of government for the Roman Empire. If you look at the wall behind the podium in the House of Representatives, you will notice that on either side of the US flag is the depiction of bundles of sticks tied together with an axe. These are called fasci, hence the root word of fascism. This was the symbol of fascism in the Capitoline Hill,, as it was under the Nazis and still is today. It is not a coincidence that these symbols are featured on the floor of Congress.

    Any American who thinks they are living in a free country does not have a clue.

    The fact is that the United States corporation is controlled from the City of London, by the Crown, which is not the British Monarchy as many believe, but rather the private corporation that is the inner ‘City of London’ itself, also commonly known as “The City” or “The Square Mile.” This square mile that makes up the center of Greater London has its own mayor, laws, courts, flag, police force and newspaper. It is the heart of the global financial system.”

    For example. The city of Bremen still has the silver standard, still has its own silver currency, and has never been a part of Germany.
