[KR323] Keiser Report: Firewalking with Santa Claus & Magic 8 Ball Economics

We discuss artificial superstition, increasing the inflation target to 100% and suicide watch for the too big to fail banks. They also discuss HSBC’s misselling of interest rate swaps and drug cartel money laundering. In the second half, Max interviews author and blogger, James Howard Kunstler of Kunstler.com, about walking on coal and waiting for Santa Claus with Paul Krugman’s magical thinking.

66% of Americans don’t know who this guy is:

    @Gold Bullet-Perhaps Banksta’s could be replaced with copyright lawyers.

    Holmes had sent a package with a notebook to Fenton before the attack, according to court papers made public last week.

    Fox News, citing unnamed law enforcement sources, said the package was sent several days before the attack and contained details about his murderous plan.

    The university has said the package was delivered on July 23 and immediately turned over to authorities.

    Officials in Yemen say more than 40 people are now confirmed to have been killed and 37 others wounded in a suicide bombing in the south of the country.
    Military sources say the attack targeted a group of mourners in Jaar, a town recently recaptured by the army after being held by Al Qaeda for more than a year.
    “An Al-Qaeda suicide bomber detonated his explosives belt during a mourning ceremony organised by the Popular Resistance Committees,” provincial governor Jamal al-Aqal said.

    Two members of the New Zealand Defence Force serving in Afghanistan have been killed and six others have been wounded.

    The Syrian army says it has seized the last rebel-held district of Damascus as insurgents in Aleppo come under heavy bombardment by regime forces.

    @ evolutis: I think we are in a very dark time right now. To “set aside the hindrance of money” (I would prefer to call it power) people have to be awake.
    I think that the evil will at the end destroy itself. Perhaps along the lines of the view of Stuart Wilde: http://www.stuartwilde.com/2012/08/how-does-it-end/

    “First, how did it get this way? A group of people attempted to control the world because they saw themselves as very special, they had no regard for people’s wellbeing or feelings, it was all about them, power, money and self-importance.

    They controlled all the doors and all the exits and they corrupted the parliaments, and they controlled the TV stations and banks, and they manipulated markets, they were totally above the law, like demi-gods.
    They were allowed to convert useless paper into real money, and they issued shares, bonds, IOUs, and derivatives. Their wealth ranked in the trillions. Citizens were milked for half their incomes to support the wars of the elite and other issues that the leaders felt needed funding.
    No one could speak, their spies were everywhere. People feared the knock on the door.
    The elite could have reigned a thousand years but in effect they were destroyed from within.”

    @ ronron, I clicked on your video response to the tipping point with that chic that was talking about stuff and like dude, I just couldn’t watch it all. Like dude please don’t post anything like that again.

    Excellent show Max and Stacey. The rich have nothing to fear from the masses. During the waning days of the Roman Empire Emporer Sulla proscribed many of the wealthiest Romans and posted the lists in the forum. Bounty hunters would then head out to recover the heads of those on the lists. In the end I think that emporer Obama will be making a list and checking it twice, he’s going to find out who’s naughty or nice.

    The UK Olympics is a celebration of the triumph of corporatism and ongoing confirmation that the MSM has the masses brainf**ked. I suppose I better watch that link but I don’t wanna be sick….

    @ Frans- Thanks for that. The reason why peope such as myself are attracted to this site is because it offers the hope of creating a frame work for that type of society to grow into.
    ; Note three consistent themes.
    1.Precious metals or Gold, that will end fait/CDO’s etc, and limit the amount of units
    2. Bitcoin. (BTC) a way around the current system and a limit the volume of units.
    3. Climate Change. Take care of our resources. They are limited and without energy we’ve got nothing.

    All true liberty loving people share these ideals, and it does not matter if you agree with all three of these things or not. It is our propaganda, its our brand power that will defeat this system in the end.

    It does not matter if we are not alive to see it, but remember in five six etc generations time, it will be us who are remembered, it will be our statues in the (virtual) park. This is worth living for just in itself.

    Dont be put off by ney sayers who think we cant win, and anti-new world orderists who want to keep the status quo, without even knowing thats what they are wanting. We will win it is inevitable that we will have a society based on social equity and merit one day.

    WOW!! “the lack of humility before nature!” – are we not forgetting an 800,000 year history of man within nature? Of man without the bundle of degreed, religion – politics – money
    The system is the environment … the environment provides the “rigging”incentive!! … we are inspired by this!!!???

    OR … to draw a map of what we don’t understand ….. “the power of organizing, without organizations ” > Autonomous Statelessness . Constant change, free, within an infinite flow of information and energy … no hint of a requirement for the illogical myth of “leadership”

    Package (about what Holmes was planning to do) turned over to authorities before the incident?

    Could that mean the incident was allowed to happen?

    No. That would be crazy, would it not? Sounds like one of those nutty conspiracy
    theories about 9/11 being allowed to happen. Only some sick degenerates in a criminal government overrun by fascists and communists hell bent on world domination would even consider such an act.

    And we obviously do not have that.

    Epic Congressional Testimony: Open Currency Advocate Tells Congress They are Thieves for Enabling the Fed (!!!)

    “This week, Dr. Paul chaired a subcommittee to explore the possibilities for parallel currencies in the united States. A spokesperson from the American Open Currency Standard apparently decided to bring a gun to a knife fight, and he unloaded a full clip of truth to be entered into the records of the tax feeders. Thank you Dr. Paul for inviting someone to speak who isn’t afraid to look the beast in the eye and explain what time it is.”

    @evolutis….Again, a wonderful perspective…” are we not forgetting an
    800,000 year history of man within nature?”

    “a society that wishes to remain civilized”

    Kunstler nails it there. Excellent observation. Either we strive for that or we’re pretty much all collateral.

    Yeah, you could, though most copyright lawyers these days are called ”copyright trolls”. ;)

    BTW, have you noticed that the value of Bitcoin has risen 40% in the last month?! A few days ago it passed the $10 for BTC1 mark. 8-O

    @max there is a reason for zirp and nirp and that is that the banks can’t pay the intrest they owe that simple! call it wahtever you wish add it up how ever one can, it ALL comes back to the doublings in intrest payed and the fact that reality did NOT keep up with the fantisy of never ending expantion and this left no way to pay and there for they quit paying just as the saying that you and steve keen like so well states that wich can’t be payed WON’T be payed (shoe on the other foot style in this case)and as industrial expantion has hit the portion of the curve that is VERTICAL it can not create the nessery income to pay the intrest owed and THAT is the nature of a ponzi scheme, and the true cause of all the “symptoms” you are harping on! and BTW iceland is NOT recovering sorry dude there just reinflating the same bubble using a simple credit reset ………this is NOT a soloution the isues that caused the pattern have not changed there for behavior has not either . and the use of the term BOOMING in relation to the icelandic econimy tells the true story imo

    @JHK are you aware that at 20:40 you paraphrase the myan 2o12 codexes perfictly?
