[KR392] Keiser Report: Lunatics & Lubricants

We discuss all the Asos in the headlines, the ten dollar Facebook profiles being used to promote 55-gallon tubes of personal lubricant and Japan lathering Europe with monetary lubricant in the form of ESM bond purchases. In the second half of the show, Max Keiser talks to Reggie Middleton about the education debt bubble, the collapsing collateral value of a university degree and the reason that French debt is trading higher than UK debt.

Outstanding show! You produce the most unique, and controversial, financial commentary show in the business. Your penchant for throwing flair on taboo topics, creating interest in what is usually mundane deservedly makes you the most viewed independent reporter in the world.
    – Cordially, Reggie Middleton

    I wonder if Tarantino makes films at all because they are more like cartoons

    The cartoon influence on Tarentino’s movies is unmistakenly big. I also recognize some cult influences from the beginning of the ‘Horror’ movie genre with over the top forceful bloot spewing and devils vomiting their evil greenish stomics all over the place. Tarantino Directed a total of 17 titles with some impressive ones: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000233/

    2009 Inglourious Basterds
    2007 Grindhouse (segment “Death Proof”)
    2005 Sin City (special guest director)
    2004 Kill Bill: Vol. 2
    2003 Kill Bill: Vol. 1
    1994 Pulp Fiction
    1992 Reservoir Dogs

    Why is the government/their corporation pals & bankers so shameless about their greed and corruption now? It seems endless and getting worse as the weeks go on. Are they trying to see how far they can asset-strip and/or goad the public into civil disobedience so that they can have an excuse to impose a police state? Why are they so shameless – anyone?

    Is Pepe Escobar still in London town ?
    Would I be the only one who would love to see him turn up on TKR ?

    @Alf

    Yes, bullingdon boys burning £50 notes in front of beggars – if that was confirmed to be true, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

    The thing is, the elite must know that the more brazen they are with their cronyism/greed/selfishness/corruption the more likely the people will revolt so they must either be very stupid or have a plan up their sleeves.

    My guess is if Cameron goes for the referendum on Europe or signals a way out; the US will be presenting more UK bankster dirty deeds. Remember it was the Americans who brought us Libor and the HSBC drug money laundering. I bet Cameron backs down and the far right gain even more so.

    Why are you Turkeys bashing Glenn Beck? Have you listened to what he says? I doesn’t seem like it because it seems to me you two would agree on more points than you would differ… His town based on Gault is a protest much like your Keiser coin… So knock it off.

    Regarding inflation, am I correct that one way of reducing your debt is to inflate it away? Is this government policy in QE countries?

    I’m sure I read this somewhere and that international creditors get mightily angry with countries that do this.
