Posted on May 14, 2009 by stacyherbert| 20 Comments

Stacy Summary: First off – sorry for the downtime on the site last night. Apaprently, we were being bombarded with traffic from yahoo as our site was hijacked via a plugin (apparently Tweet This) and so, alas, our bandwidth limit was hit. Next, Max has a new series from tomorrow, a co-production with Associated Press TV & Press Tv called “On the Edge with Max Keiser.” We are also hoping to do versions for other networks, including one that I may be able to announce by this weekend. So, tell me what you think about all the threats in today’s headlines!

Stacy Summary: More signs of a transfer of power and wealth from West to East. We know from the history books what the British, the Spanish, the Roman, the Ottoman, etc. empires were like and we know from our daily lives what the US empire has been like. What do you think will emerge from a more China dominated world? Or will China even rise to become a superpower?

Max Keiser on the radio – Financial Jim Crow & Inbred, Insane Derivatives

Posted on April 9, 2009 by stacyherbert| 19 Comments

Stacy Summary: We woke up at 4.45 this morning for this excellent interview with Jason Bermas. Max talked about Credit Default Swaps as a unit of currency collateralized by fraud.
