Keiser Report - Markets! Finance! Scandal! (E6)

[megamogx]

ROFL

[Sam26100]

Surprised to see Max not understanding why unions are bad either. Also the global warming thing, really Max...

[pixarian72]

Keiser, shame on you!!! All the evidence shows that Anthropogenic global warming is a scam. There is ZERO evidence for it and much against!!! Add to that the fact that Piers Corbyn, the only one to predict the extreme weather and floods months to years ahead of time based on REAL SCIENCE has proven it wrong, all the corruption, propaganda and New World Order motivations to rape us for trillions and create the infrastructure for global governance, you must be a paid whore.

[formerutuber]

@pixarian72 bla bla bla

[christophercredit]

Aw, come on Max, don't you approve of oppression? Growing poverty? "Economic genocide? How about the growing disparity between have's and have nots? You communist you! I suppose you think minimum wage should have been tied in with the cost of living from the get go, with annual re-visitations...you socialist you! Come on Max; get with the program of the evildoing, money loving, murderous, elitist controllers!!

[Ben1607]

15:23 - 15:38 -- both government policies and the greed of humanity. -------------- 15:55 - "they made the consumer borrow alot of money...? is he sure the gov. MADE the people borrow money? weren't the american consumers just greedy? He implies that the gov. forced the people's hand. Was this 'forcing' done thru taxes? If so- how come I have never heard anyone complaining about the rising tax rates since 1980?

[torque122]

Great author--Ravi Batra---he is outstanding!!!!!!!!!

[5thhorsman]

I'm not a fan of O,Riley at all but I have serious doubts about climate change and the amount of control given to committees to dictate industrial production based on misleading facts and completely unproven theories it was only thirty years ago theses same scientiest were waring us that we are going into another Ice age.

people forget that scientist do lie allot about facts in order to make whoever is paying there salary happy and global warming is an easy sell even though it's totally unproven

[Graham6762]

Global Warming is a fraud you moron FUCK You jew

[WatchRyder]

@Graham6762

Who are you calling the jew?

[reiser999]

"averageworkinggal" does not even understand the basics of derivatives or of bonds, all she is doing is digging herself a deeper hole.

First of all an IRS is an interest rate swap not the internal revenue service.

Second of all bond prices and yields have an inverse relationship, that is a fact.

Third, it is impossible for banks like BOA to actually own $50 trillion worth of hedged IRS with treasuries as a reference as that exceeds the entire treasury market multiple times over.

[reiser999]

Fourth, the primary reason that treasuries are being bought now is due to the fact that foreigners and institutions are swapping their worthless MBS and toxic debts for slightly less toxic treasuries.

Fifth, the so-called profit made by the Fed was outweighed by the fact that the Fed used mark-fantasy accounting rules, and continues to purchase hundreds of billions of dollars in worthless debts nonstop. That directly devalues the dollar.

I could go on and on and on, ladies and gentlemen..

[bofors7715]

Woah, Max.

Don't you know the "Global Warming" is total fraud?

I would have thought you did.

[mandatum1979]

Is stacy on drugs or something? What is with the halting delivery? And I agreed with Max on the economy but I think he is full of shit when it comes to global warming. Max doesn't know shit about the climate and shouldn't be bullshiting about something he knows nothing about.

[robertethanbowman]

maybe a hangover

[Revolucionario02]

It is incredible but whoever disagree with the status quo don't get airtime in the States. Why Max has to go to RT? Why is he not in MSNBC or CNN?

[Dean0000007]

MSNBC or CNN isn't left. LOL They are more right wing than most Americans believe. Outside the US CNN is concidered very right wing compared to most of the industrial world.

[Igor707]

For some time I have been suspecting that M. Keiser is a puppet working for big capitalists, just like P. Schiff or A. Jones.

Capitalists are not stupid. They learn from their own mistakes from the past. They learn from the experience of the previous communist revolutions throughout the world. How to brainwash and manipulate the people? Certainly not by telling the (obvious) lies. Capitalists learned that from the past. Instead one can deceive and manipulate the people by MIXING truth and lies.

[Igor707]

One will thus tell you:

1+1=2

2=1=3

what are the truths and then after the people see he is telling the truth they will tend to uncritically and blindly trust the person. And when he finally says:

3+1=5

people will fall into the trap and trust him.

[Igor707]

P. Schiff and M. Keiser will tell you "bankers are evil", "they are stealing the money"... what are truths, but when people finally want REAL change of the failed SYSTEM they will say "Obama is a socialist" (what sounds like "bankers are communists") or "we need capitalism", what is a perverse lie.

[Igor707]

In capitalist system MONEY = POWER! That has ALWAYS been true, especially in the case of USA.

Communists have always been saying that capitalist oligarchy in USA controls the whole society for at least 150 years. Only brainwashed people will find themselves surprised today now when they realize that US government, US parliament, judicial system, army, corporate media, educational system, health-care system, factories... are controlled by the big capitalist oligarchy.

[Igor707]

Since capitalists are very clever they know when they have to loosen their grip over working class. Today synergy between the capitalist oligarchy and their puppets in the US government is too obvious. Therefore they will pay allegedly "independent" activists and "experts" to spread the propaganda of lies MIXED with truths. The propagandists will say "corporations control the government" what is true but then they will say "we need capitalism" because they know that in capitalism MONEY=POWER.

[Igor707]

If they smell a revolution in the air the capitalist oligarchy will wisely make a step backwards and loosen their grip on the government and other parts of the system which is supposed to protect the interests of the common people, but they know since the SYSTEM won't be changed they will always be in position to control and exploit the society because in capitalist system money=power.

[Igor707]

Watch-out for the "independent" activists and "experts" telling you lies mixed with truths!

Humanity needs SYSTEMIC change of the current capitalist economic-political system! Unfortunately as the history (and present time!) teaches us that change is not possible by means of negotiations with bloodsucking exploiters but only through a bloody revolution. There is NO other way!

[Igor707]

My comments above regarding M. Keiser are, of course, just speculation. However regardless of that his show is very interesting although I do not trust him completely.

[JBsThePress]

Climate Deniers is one of those "buzz words" to created to demonize. Not an argument.

No one is denying that climate changes. Can't you see how ridiculous the programing here is, Max? The debate is framed on silly terms just in the wording you're using.

You need to do more research into some of your more neo-liberal thinking Max. Look into the Medieval warming period for example.

Hell, watch the whole climate section of FOTR, a movie you were in!

[guydecervens]

O'Reilly is an ass but he is correct about 'Climate Change', which is a lie. I am surprised to hear Keiser call people who understand Climate Change as a tax creation scam as 'Climate Deniers'. You lost a fan there Max. Read up on the global temperature: it has been falling for ten years. I thought you were smart but maybe you are just another ass like O'Reilly.

[GuinnyIre]

No capitalist agrees the bailouts are capitalism. It's govt intervention in the markets as you very well know. Peter Schiff is running for the US Senate.

[GuinnyIre]

Max: "Well that's family values for you in the US, the conservatives and family priests"

it's called a sentence Max, try forming one. Oh, and Fr Tim Jones is in England. Facts, facts, damn facts

[VeritasIncrebresco]

I agree with Keiser on economic terms.. but the climate change scare is a load of crap.

[strongbadassman]

the derivatives gamble is no financial secret moron, it was made official by Alan Greenspan, i don't have to know anything about the inner workings of the fed to know that it was the Derivatives market and not the Housing Crisis that is our main financial woe, the Housing Crisis comes a distant third to the trillions we lost in War Bills.

[averageworkinggal]

@strongbadassman - All I have to get you to do is blather away incoherently like you do and you'll prove conclusively that you're a TOTAL FINANCIAL DOOFUS.

And I have.

Derivatives have absolutely nothing to do with the monetary policy of the Fed since Derivatives are an unregulated trading market of hedge contracts.

The CFTC is more closely related.

Derivatives are Ron Paul.

Derivatives are Ron Paul's "Liberty and the Free Market."

Blame Ron Paul for Derivatives.

[strongbadassman]

derivatives market is Ron Paul, when Ron Paul openly blasted the Oil burst in Goldman Sex? You lunacy is worst than i can imagine. Ron Paul said, Ron Paul is an advocate for free market in the sense that the market stays completely free and competitive with no Fraudulence. It was Fraudulence activities that got us into this shit not Free Market, it was greed, ponzi schemes, the Fed being the most major Ponzi Scheme of all,

[strongbadassman]

artificially lowering interest rate, encouraging banks to buy into hedge funds that ultimately fails, international property market, commodity markets, inflated stock markets These are not Free Market activities that Ron Paul advocate you MORON, this are financial scam, absolutely nothing to do with Free market, ron paul advocates capitalism that abides by the constitution meaning the rule of law, you can choose to interpret it which way you want, cause u lack any analytical thinking, bimbo.

[averageworkinggal]

strongassodorman -

You mark yourself as a Ron Paul kook with that interest rate obsession.

The US has lower interest rates now than during the housing bubble but no housing bubble now.

Germany and Japan had looser monetary policies than the U.S. but didn't experience housing bubbles.

Spain and Ireland had tighter monetary policies than the US but even bigger housing bubbles.

It wasn't the interest rates, it was the lower lending standards that created the flood of risky mortgages.

[Choros22]

@averageworkinggal You are wrong it was the interest rates. The way that a central bank reduces interest rates is by increasing the supply of credit in the economy. This well tend to drive asset price bubbles. In order for expansionary monetary policy to actually affect the economy you must have demand for debt. There is a point where monetary policy will stop working like right now cause noone will borrow. Spain and Ireland were effected by US monetary policy due to the global nature of markets

[averageworkinggal]

@Choros22 - the US and global economy is far more complex than just blaming it all on "interest rates" as the Ron Paul kooks do.

Central Bank interest rates were a part of it, but we don't have a new housing bubble now with even lower Central Bank interest rates because we've eliminated the RISKY MORTGAGES!!!!

The facts are the facts. Countries with lower interest rates had no housing bubbles while the US had one and countries with higher interest rates than the US had a worse housing bubble.

[Choros22]

You apparently ignore the fact that is physically not possible to have an asset price bubble without an expansion in the supply of credit, and it is low interest rate policies that expand the supply of credit. Just because you have low interest rates will not guarentee that a bubble will form, but it is not possible to have a bubble in the first place without low interest rates. The Fed caused the great depression with low rate policies and they have done the same thing again.

[averageworkinggal]

strongassodorman - you're still a TOTAL FINANCIAL DOOFUS when it comes to the Derivatives market and understanding the exact causes of the 2008 Financial Crisis..

Derivatives are purely a "Ron Paul" market.

It's purely unregulated, thus making it pure Ron Paul.

You're clearly too stupid to grasp that.

Any criticism of the Free Market must be an attack on Ron Paul, since Ron Paul has stuck his ugly face out there as the Numero Uno "Liberty and the Free Market" pimp.

[Choros22]

@averageworkinggal I would add that the first financial crisis in history in 1340 occured in an environment where there was absolutely no financial market regulation at all and also no government as we now know it. To suggest that it was regulation was the cause is not the case, however the claim that the feds low interest rate policy is absolutely based in reality. The expansion in the supply of credit has always been a cause of crisis inc the 1340 episode.

[averageworkinggal]

@Choros22 - the deciding factor was not interest rates, it was the money velocity into risky mortgages due to loosened lending standards that produced a flood of risky mortgages that were securitized into fixed income bonds and sold to investors, which included many of the Wall Street investment banks, which led to their collapse..

[averageworkinggal]

@Choros22 - Foreign savings fueled the securitization bubble that fueled the mortgage credit bubble.

Central bank loans are loans of last resort where private sector lending is not available because the Fed-member bank is in distress.

The Fed-member bank is supposed to obtain financing from the private capital markets as was the case that fueled the securitization bubble of the housing bubble.

[Choros22]

That is incorrect, the majority of debt in the United States is not actually from foreign savings but rather sourced straight from the Fed. Around 70% of Americas debt has been created by the fed. To blame this on capital inflows is to divert blame from the people really responsible for causing this crisis.

[averageworkinggal]

@Choros22 - and it was the Investment Banks that were doing the bulk of the securitization and those investment banks were not part of the Federal Reserve System, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley that did not become bank holding companies and a Fed member until Sept. 2008 to avoid collapse like Lehman, which was also not a Fed member bank..

[Choros22]

The derivative market, reported at over a quadrillion dollars, was not caused by the Fed it was caused by financial market deregulation. These banks however were able to source low interest loans for financial speculation simply by borrowing from another US bank that was linked the the Federal reserve system. When the Fed lowers rates it actually increases the supply of credit all around the world due to the global nature of the financial system.

[averageworkinggal]

@Choros22 - your number on the total Derivatives market is exaggerated.

The statistics show that it was money velocity, not money stock, driven by the animal spirits of speculation from rising housing prices and reduced regulations on lending standards and securitization that opened the floodgates into mortgages.

It was Ron Paul's "Liberty and the Free Market" of animal spirits speculation and loosened regulation.

Google: "The Fed Did NOT Cause the Credit Crunch, It Was Securitization"

[reiser999]

The notional value of such derivatives demonstrate how it would not even be possible to collateralize them to begin with.

They are unbacked. Official money supply statistics do not count the growth of OTC derivatives. If it were not for the creation of such derivatives, the whole Treasury market would have collapsed by now, causing a panic in the dollar. Credit derivatives also allowed for banks to lend out trillions, when they were too under-capitalized to do so to begin with.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666 - you're making a ridiculous speculation-based argument devoid of fact whereas supply and demand drives the market for US Treasuries since they are still AAA and the ultimate safe haven.

The Jan 2010 Yield Curve on US Treasuries is positive and showing that the market anticipates a US economic expansion.

Interest Rate Swaps are used to generate the yield on longer term Treasury securities so the Yield Curve accounts for the "IRS Market."

[reiser999]

No, it shows that there are greater treasuries to be sold and not enough demand for them.

Look at the Greek sovereign debt market. Are rates increasing due to a great economic boom, no.

The IRS market generates an artificially lower yield curve, without that element in the market place there would be no Treasury market.

The purchase of treasury securities are being offset by the fed's purchase of MBS. Foreigners are getting less toxic junk for exchanging their more toxic junk.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666 - a "lower" yield curve means a BETTER market because demand is willing to accept a lower interest rate for the government bonds.

In case you haven't figured it out, you just argued that speculators are making an "artificially lower yield curve"

which means that speculators are betting against higher interest rates and thus betting against inflation and a falling dollar.

[reiser999]

The IRS are causing that lower yield curve to be created, it otherwise would not have been.

Their clearly is not enough collateral for such securities to even begin with. The demand created by the irs market is literally out of thin air. There is not enough real demand for treasuries is what is proven.

These derivatives are totally uncollateralized when they are exposed, there will be a panic in the treasury market and therefore the dollar. These institutions are propping up the dollar.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666 - the notional value of the OTC derivatives market is irrelevant to US Treasury securities as that notional value in determined by what the Treasury Dept. sells which is only about $7.8T so far.

The $7.8T notional value of US Treasuries IS BACKED by the full faith and credit of the US.

OTC derivatives aren't money.

They are contracts, not money stock.

If OTC derivatives "collapse", the money stock will be affected negatively by the losses and the dollar will go up.

[reiser999]

OTC derivatives act be creating demand for Treasury securities be keeping interest rates low that otherwise would not have been.

In order to support the current market over $350 trillion in collateral is needed to keep rates from soaring.

Rates are inverse to Bond prices. Bond prices will collapse, rates will soar as in greece due to sovereign default risk and a lack of demand not due to greater economic growth.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666- the notional value of the bonds sold by the US govt. don't "collapse" to the US Govt. since the US govt. originates the bonds and gets full face value principal.

Interest Rate Swaps don't exchange principal so notional value is irrelevant to the "IRS Market."

The only thing relevant to the "IRS market" is the anticipated change to interest rates over time.

[reiser999]

Again you do not understand the function of derivatives.

Those bonds supposedly collateralizing interest rate swaps do not exist, they are fraudulent.

Once that market collapses, as there is no possible way for those contracts to be supported the value of treasuries will also collapse as interest rates rise exponentially.

That will cause a panic in the dollar.

You do not understand the bond market either.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666 - you're TOTAL DELUSIONAL and don't understand the sovereign debt market.

[reiser999]

First of all you thought that an IRS was a tax revenue collection agency. No that is totally wrong, you can't understand the context of the greater bond market, obviously.

Then you thought that demand was rising incredibly for US Treasuries. No that is also wrong. Treasury prices have been falling. The Treasuries that are being purchased are due to foreigners swapping their MBS for Treasuries.

There are so many other ways in which you are wrong, it is self-evident.

[averageworkinggal]

@reiser666 - If the "prices" of existing Treasury bonds collapse, that's deflation and the dollar will be boosted by the destruction of capital.

[reiser999]

That would mean that the dollar would deflate against commodities and other currencies.

You do not understand the foreign exchange market. Net dollar assets outstanding would decrease so less support to the dollar would actually be given, I've already should you how over the last two years about 100 trillion has been brought into the IRS market alone. That is practically accounting for the total increase of derivatives in the market over that time period.

[averageworkinggal]

@strongbadassman - Mortgage-related derivatives are only a small portion of the whole Derivatives market.

Most Derivative contracts are simple and related to commodity prices, hence the CFTC.

Mortgage-related derivatives were complex and opaque structured investment vehicles that panicked investors away from lending to banks due to the flood of derivatives of risky mortgages, thus triggering the credit freeze post-Lehman.

The 2008 Financial Crisis wasn't caused by "war bills."

[reiser999]

Actually most otc derivatives are related to Interest Rate swaps that prevent the US dollar and the US Treasury market from collapsing.

[reiser999]

Guess how the bond market is propped up, through inflation.

So when bonds deflate, the dollar will deflate as well. Hence inflation not deflation.

[averageworkinggal]

@faller666 - you're wrong about the yield curve and wrong about bonds.

If the yield curve was inversely proportional to the interest rate, then the yield curve would have a negative slope from near to long term as interest rates rise and in fact it's the opposite, it has a positive slope, increasing with interest rates.

Also, as bonds deflate, so does the balance sheet, which means capital destruction, which means deflating money stock, which means boosted dollar.

[reiser999]

Yields have been rising since december 2008, bond prices have been falling.

That is the definition of inverse.

You clearly do not even understand what is occurring right now in the bond market.

No if bond prices deflate, you will see what is happening in greece, rates would soar and the currency will be brought down. That is basic fact. You still cannot explain why greek sovereign debt has rising yields, it is called default risk.

[averageworkinggal]

@faller666 - the bond market is propped up by investor demand.

[reiser999]

So you're telling me that JP Morgan actually owns $60 trillion worth of bonds. That is impossible.

Interest rate swaps create an artificial demand. You clearly cannot grasp this very very basic concept regarding derivatives.

[momentinpassing]

I find Ravi Batra to be brilliant in this interview.

A concern that I have is that technology is increasing productivity so much that I'm not sure how society can create enough demand.

[tryptala]

Technology is also replacing workers which likewise draws down on demand.

[StarvingForTruth]

wow - who knew there were so many climate experts here on youtube.

you guys DO reali9ze that the leaked emails in no way whatsoever discredit the thousands of OTHER scientists on the subject, right?

All you idiots who got their degree at Alex Jones University ought to really just stick guns in your mouths and help us clean the gene pool.

Fucking nitwits.

[StarvingForTruth]

i am ceaselessly amazed at how many self described geniuses haunt the youtube comments section - if any of you douchebags were half as smart as you pretend to be, you wouldn't be here proclaiming your superiority - you'd be doing something useful.

all of you are morons.

[NookulerFreedom]

Max I tend to respect you opinion.

And I think Bill O'Reilly is a Nazi.

But you have made some very uniformed statements lately.

First of all, Robert Fisk and his buddy Soros tried to cash the dollar, not Russia and China.

( a mind blowing mistake Max )

Secondly Global Warming, oh wait Climate Change, is a Hoax, everybody knows it, and I can debate your ass into the ground.

Do a little bit more research before you speak next time. You are discrediting yourself.

[StarvingForTruth]

i imagine you do spend a lot of time talking to asses.

get lost.

[overseachininadoll]

Obama doesn't know much about economy. He's totally dependent on Larry Summer, Tim Geithner and others whom he is being friend with and trusting.

[overseachininadoll]

Go Max! It's about time for you to take on those Foxy Guys. Great Job!

Americans are brainwashed by Fox. Fox is anti union anti middle class anti affordable healthcare but pro war and pro monronism.

[RomeoMD25]

The global warming scam passed by Congress. Goldman Sachs is in the middle of it, as usual a potential trillion dollar sure thing.

And Former Vice President Al Gore who will profit from the cap-and-trade plan through his company, Generation Investment Management,

Gore is joined by three former Goldman Sachs heads in their carbon offsets business.

[HK379]

Thats Right ... when did regular American workers started thinking that whats good for bankers and dillers on walstreet ... is good for them ...?? its crazy notion .

[Pinch0fSalt]

So one gullible arrogant twat slags off another?I feel the joke is on this guy;Bill O' Reily is tragic,what's more tragic is to attack a complete moron and come out worse.Even climate zealots like George Monbiot have peaked at the hacked e-mails and admitted they 'seem legitimate' and apologized for putting too much faith in climate camp

I'm not a scientist, but climate change seems likely to be a scam. I do know however, that these guys only talk with someone else's hand up their ass. =)

[sgwarrenb]

great show!

[frontier1701]

Ravi Batra is a total clown..... Batra's 1985 prediction of a world-wide depression in 1990 did not happen. This guy continues to pump out economic trash at an amazing rate. Those who buy his books - - and believe Batra's wild-eyed rantings and ravings - - are in serious need of help.

[dudebud007]

before i make any further comments i'm just gonna wait until fucks news responds to this piece of art.....but then again i doubt they will LoL

[sfmain]

lol.... this is one of my favorite shows....!

[seanboy80]

I don't think Max was expressing belief in AGW. I think he was just pointing out how wishywashy O'Reilly is on the issue, and did it in Max's typical sarcastic way.

[sinitskyd]

RT has its agenda, of course. O'Reily is a neocon fascist warmonger. Max Keiser is a funny character; he says a lot of things that are truthful, especially about Wall Street and Central Bank fraud, but I do not agree with him on many issues.

[trinomialtree]

we be pimpin' into 2010...

president obama, chairman bernanke, secretary geithner -- the axis of economic good, the triumvirate of economic salvation, the trio of wealth creation -- thanks all the mainstreeters for their contributions in 2009, particularly towards making everyone merry with record year end bonuses and opulent party bashes -- 2010 will be a year of continued great wealth transfer, and you will be asked for your continued support, willing or not.

[shtonker8]

A very confusing presentation....and I like Max and Stacy. I feel more informed with On The Edge, and enjoy it too, rather than with this show. I understand and agree with Max's outrage over a variety of issues, but in this case I wanted a presentation with drier wit....nevertheless, despite everyone having an off day once and a while, I am grateful for Max's shows....Hau'oli Makahiki hou kakou!

[Tressco]

Huh?

Does Max believe CO2 to be a pollutant...?

[neurotracker]

Max's courtship of the Alex Jones crowd finally hits their brick wall of ideology:  "There cannot be climate change even though glaciers are melting & islands are being submerged, because Alex Jones told me so."

Good luck with the dopes, Max.

[Vunks2000]

I never took Max to be a believer in the global warming nonsense.

Wages are only meaningful when the purchasing power is also considered.

[frugalite]

Well,what do Andrew Weaver or similar scientists have to gain from climate change?He would continue his research in his university even if there was no climate change? You think we have athmospheric sciences because of this alleged fraud?Those branches of science existed for a long long time,and they aren`t going anywhere even if there was no climate change.You don`t embarrass yourself dude.

[frugalite]

So my point is you talk about doctored data and stuff based on one incident in british university,but disregard all other scientific work done everywhere else.Well,it doesn`t work that way.Maybe in America things work like that,but not everwhere.How about Andrew Weaver,noted climate researcher,whose office was broken into twice,his laptops being stolen in both cases,just before Copenhagen,hmm let me guess by whom.We didn`t hear anything bad about that,I guess they couldn`t badmouth his research.

[InMooseWeTrust]

I love how Max is quoting another RT video from YouTube.

[frugalite]

Classic american approach,call me smartass if you disagree,what cooling, this decade we`re leaving behind today is the hottest recorded decade ever in terms of average temperatures.Yes there are natural warming and cooling cycles in planetary history,but those take place in tens of thousands of years.What you see now is a very condensed form of that,warming mainly in just one century,do you really think the nature speeded up its natural process 100 times to fool us?Would you bet your life on it?

[strongbadassman]

please search up global cooling in the past decade before replying to me like a smart alec that you are, don't embarass ur ass further, even the global warmfers couldn't deny this piece of evidence, they just chose to ommit it like the little special interest boys that they are, the fact is global temperature is constantly changing, the fact is that there is not one single ounce of evidence that global warming is man made,

[strongbadassman]

the fact is the changes in the sun temperatures contributes a large portion of global warming or cooling, as confirmed by astrophysicist who do not have anything to lose or gain from climate change.

[jphwacheski]

Yeah, the near total convertion of fossil fuel in a 100 year period would have no effect at all., that is just bat-sht crazy,. right? If so, go run your car in your garage with the door closed for an hour and get back to me,. . do you know how many cars are running in the world today,. how man coal fired energy plants,. . natural gas ect.? how could any of that have a n effect on the environment??

[frugalite]

The point is Max is right on about climate change.Denying it is idiotic.Anyone who had a little bit exposure to sophomore thermodynamics and junilor heat transfer courses in university would understand it.Yet people who has no scientific knowledge about these things come here and make comments like they are experts on the issue.Criticise the schemes or proposed solutions or offer a better one if you don`t agree with them,but stop this denial BS.

[WorldIssues2000]

Climate change may be real but the theory being pushed on is doubtful, particularly if they have to resort to fudging and doctoring data. Climate has always changed throughout history. Human beings are not always in control. This time they might be but this has not been proven other than with dubious models. What I have seen so far is nothing but propaganda and interested parties lining up at the opportunity to establish a new profitable racket that won't help the environment.

[mojdfiv]

@WorldIssues2000 You have that right. The climate has always been changing. There are ruins of cities as deep as 50 ft under the ocean. There was a time when Antarctica was covered by a lush conifer forest. Cap and Trade is just preying on the guilt of people and is nothing more than a stealth tax racket. If you really want to help the environment go out and plant a few tree's in your free time. Go out and pick up trash. Be proactive.

[frugalite]

The climate change is real.Please learn to separate issues from one another.Just because corporations want to make a buck of this issue thru different schemes doesn`t mean that it is fraud.I am sure many of you who call climate change fraud today would also call acid rain or ozone layer destruction frauds too if they were starting to happen today.But we all know both were real,acid rain decimated forests everywhere and a little known chemical in your fridges was the culprit for ozone destruction

[strongbadassman]

yep climate change is real, pretyy oxymoronic, because our climate is constantly changing, in relation to how brightly the sun is burning, fact is over the last decade the global temperature has been cooling, unreported but facts, so climate change is real, whether it is man made or not is totally unproven, since carbon emmisions as calculated by legit scientist was said to only make up 0.002% of global warming, so yeah climate change is real, what's your point mr smartass?

[WorldIssues2000]

Max you are putting your rep in the bin with this global warming rant. As already mentioned in your site, global warming and environmental sustainability are two separate issues. ES is unquestionable but global warming is a theory pushed on to world by dubious organizations who have recently been exposed for doctoring the data (see Hacked Emails Story). The fact that you continue to support global warming makes me doubt you a little.

[averageworkinggal]

The Batra-Keiser coprophagist blather is the worst incoherent econ-nonsense I've ever heard.

The financial crisis wasn't caused by wage disparity, which is a long term trend.

It was caused by socialistic housing goals and the loosening of lending standards to give everyone a house as the long term trend, that flooded the banks with risky loans that defaulted at much higher than historical rates, and led to a credit freeze that caused a stock market and business crash and a consumer panic.

[strongbadassman]

the housing crisis was just a nail to the coffin, you can't possibly be that dumb not to know that we have been accumulating incremental debt ever since the new millenia, and you call yourself an average working girl while bending over to unproductive corporatist who sold us out in the derivitives market while the average worker suffers and our economy is outsourced by these corporatist? We are losing our sovereignty piece by piece to external interest, zionistfatcatglobalist suits you more.

[averageworkinggal]

Well, another incoherent, incompetent, crackpot blatherer crawled out of the woodwork..

I perfectly described what happened to cause the financial crisis.

You cited a tangential matter and then just incoherently kook ranted.

The financial crisis was caused a credit expansion based on risky mortgages that corrupted the banking system and brought on a credit freeze ( a banking panic) that triggered a stock market and business crash.

Those crashes triggered the consumer panic.

[strongbadassman]

@averageworkinggal Says the dumb bimbo who can't make out fivers on an accounting spreadsheet. if it was so simple as a mortgage crisis we wouldn't be in a 12 trillion dollar deficit. To make my point short and clear to a bimbo like you, research derivatives market crash, as i said before, the Mortgage crisis is nothing but a mere pin that popped the bubble, the underlying crisis is far far deeper than a few trillion mortgages worth. Google it, be a daddy's girl no more you dumb bimbo.

[strongbadassman]

flash alert declining dollar value causes decrease of purchasing power, unemployment and lower wages does that as well, rising personal debt causes that as well, along with many other factors that isn't remotely related to consumer panic, i hope you are not getting information overload here, because you seem to be getting to hung up on the Mortgage crisis, i bet if i quiz you anything related to the mortgage crisis, you would act all dumb and stupid again, what matters to you is that word lol.

[averageworkinggal]

Idiot, the Dollar wasn't declining during the Fall 2008 credit freeze.

It was going up due to a flight to safety panic from the collapsing private sector.

It wasn't a collapsing dollar that caused the Fall 2008 consumer panic.

A crash in stock prices in Fall 2008 and 7 million lost jobs since December 2007 had a much bigger impact. idiot.

That's too much information for you, I know.

[averageworkinggal]

@strongbadassman - I see you're going through life announcing to the world in bright neon letters that you're a TOTAL FINANCIAL DOOFUS.

For example, if the "Mortgage crisis" popped the "derivatives market" "bubble", we'd sure have seen it by now.

You're manner of speech shows that you lack depth of knowledge.

[strongbadassman]

@averageworkinggal the derivitive market is not a bubble, never will be, pls research what derivatives market actually means :) It cannot be a bubble because it is not physically accountable, you just caught urself in another idiotic bind lol. And the dollar not weakening? Those flight to safety are over, research the list of countries now trading oil in their own currency, it's not by chance that happened, and the dollar has fallen 50% of it's value in the past decade adjusted for inflation.

[averageworkinggal]

@strongbadassman - you're the one that said "derivative market bubble", idiot.

I just fed you're term back to you.

You're the one that needs to do research because you're all over the map blathering incoherently rather than focused on the exact specifics related to the 2008 Financial Crisis as I am.

Actually, the flight to safety continues.

US Banks and individual investors are buying up US Treasurys now that China has bailed out.

And the Dollar is way up recently.

[strongbadassman]

here's a little quiz for you my bimbo dear, pls look up what constitute Derivatives market, the sort of investment and hedge funds that constitute this, the sort of international transaction that constitute these, pls research it earnestly and come back to me, tell me in detail what it all means, because from the way you talk you are obviously clueless about what sort of transactions go on here, just like all ur previous analysis, they are elementary, and downright stupid, Housing bubble lol.

[toontokketoxic]

give max a break . next time he visits AJ he will get some schooling on global warming and come around . remember he first supported obama! nobody is perfect

[averageworkinggal]

Keiser is blowing it with his Ron Paul kook base again!!

Keiser is a Global Warming Hoaxer - a Globalist Coprophagist.

The Ron Paul kook base view all Global Warming Hoaxers-Coprophagists like Keiser as New World Order tyranny and mark them for death by militia movement.

Watch your back, Max.

The Sons of Liberty are going to put a hit on you.

[Kinggeorge720]

Don't forget racism in America is @ a all time high!!!

[jreed136]

Racism everywhere is at an all time high.

[jonboy700]

I'm a big fan of Bill O'Reilly - as is the vast majority of Americans.  But.... who is this clown?

[jreed136]

I only like Bill O'Reilly because it's hilarious to watch him.

For information though? Nah. Entertainment and watching someone embarrass themselves? Yeh.

[tjfgermany58123]

Dr Batra, has said what our news media dares not report. We are under attack from monopolies and international bankers and they have bribed and now control the US Congress. And no amount of bad publicity will make them relinquish the power they have seized illegally.

[calumcoburn]

Max, get with the program. ClimateGate has already broken the back of the One World Govt & Carbon Trading Taxes. Invest some time into the web reading up on it.

[lovesbeing]

AGW is a fraud! Max must know this, right? He must already be invested in carbon credit trading.

Shame on you Max!

[911truthncDotOrg]

Max WTF! Climate Deniers Are Right YOU IDOIT!

[tjfgermany58123]

Yea, I agree. I don't know what side of the street Max was going down. Global warming is a huge scam for carbon credits which the super rich can squeeze industry and consumers. Just one huge global money grab that includes the UN.

[alennna]

my god Russia today is so cool!!

[jur4iks1]

I don't understand what you mean by saing "Obama does this and Obama doesn't do that"... All U.S. presidents are pupets and nothing more, they don't have any power like U.S. dollar doesn't have any value. The last one who wanted to be a real president was Kennedy

[joneselius]

Kennedy was just as bad, he was also a war monger.

[Amhiro]

@Joneselius...

Care to list some examples of JFK's war mongering?

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

I believe it was the Progressive, Lyndon B. Johnson, who dramatically escalated the disastrous Vietnam War. It was still reasonably manageable under Kennedy.

[thegreendestiny]

COPROPHAGIST?

omg, he he did not just say that! lol. Gotta love Max.

[sanfordhousing]

Thank you RT for the MAX report.We humble filthy ignorant British peasants are grateful for the wise words of mother church 'liberate the private property you can ,where you can,when you must',We urban deprivation dwellers are overwhelmed by the compassion and concern that others have of our desperate situation,Perhaps the Vanguard of the international proletariat will rise and overthrow this vile capitalist system quickly liberate the masses,and end the raging war of oppression,thanks RT

[joneselius]

Liberty isn't freedom. Freedom is :)

[freedominsomalia]

global warming is fraud

[dkleitsch]

Max must be invested in some carbon trading scam, otherwise he would be exposing the global warming fraud.

[frugalite]

you are a fraud

[jfcrow1]

ThankYou RT for giving MAX a program to air his views.
