Keiser Report - Markets! Finance! Scandal! (E49)

[MattieCooper]

These politicians with f***k us over and attempt to manipulate people until their last breath. We need something much better.

[centurion180ad]

Excuse me!

In the Philippines plundering a national treasury, is a //capital// crime.

Those TRAITORS & PLUNDERERS should be dangling from a scaffold, not going to their offices to continue their power mongering insanity.

[badsign1980]

rothschilds are richer... nobody knows how much they uyhave because they refuse an audit, actually they own warren buffet, that means warrten works for them, like soros and other idiots, rothschilds are so rich they could buy europe and put everydo and everything working for them with the rothschild tender, ppl say rothschilds have so much they have gold that isnt even known to exist because they owned gold mines

[alecfromelatvia]

Latvia screwed and dumped by west wouldn't mind to be laid again by RUSSIA! As there no choice! Not now, from the end of decade, russia will take time.NATO PROTEXION-IMPEREALIST FICTION! Latvians-NAIVE PESANTS hoping to be treated equal by west. Reality-used and abused. Russian influence getting stronger as it interested in local ports. History repeats itself. If you want to be independent-just be! No need in west, east, IMF. Stay were you are. NATO, EU-exploiters. Russia to the less extent!

[alecfromelatvia]

Today Latvia fucked up complitely. Recession spiral and 'strong' currencie LAT which IS stable as a result of austerity and IMF money. Local economy and social securities? GONE... Recession, foreclosure, shadow economi thriving, families leaving. As Latvia has never implemented Hudson's program due to corruption, local stupidity and IMF and EU pressure. SweedBanksters happy. One day SO CALLED LATVIA I BET END UP in MOTHER RUSSIAS mighty HUG:) MORONS learn the history!

Buffet owned 13% - and everyone knows 13% that makes you the boss

Why didn't he own 26% ? Could he afford it ?

[yasirjamal285]

Read Warren Buffet's shareholder letter Max, he NEVER EVER EVER takes part in the management of his companies and he did the same with Moodys so stop with your Anti Rich bashing.

[ExquisiteDoom]

@seahawks78 @seahawks78 You are correct, that's why i stopped watching Max's show, he's too emotionally involved which seriously hinders his credibility. Ever since he made a call to short Whole Foods to nothingness, after reading the article that angered Max i realized how explosive the guy is for really no reason. The only reason i still watch his show is because he has some inside knowledge of wall street. Other than that, to me he is just Socialist Max.

[artdrawsyou]

Visu labu (all the best) to the people of Latvia!US is suffering the same economic downturn.It’s economic war on the so-called developed countries.Possible goal is to equalize countries around the globe; so financial-war-tyrant/ terrorists can create a global currency.They will then be able to control with ease while many innocent human beings lose their lively-hoods&die.Weapon wars are too blatant.Deceptive financial wars coupled with“natural disasters”now hold the keys to the kingdom.

Goldman Sachs: "Yeah you caught us. We'll pay a little fine. Just like we only got busted for some low level Timberwolf scandal instead of largely engineering the financial collapse to wipe out competition like Bern Sterns and Lehman Brothers. What are you going to do about it you peasant scum? You pay our record bonuses slave! Haha! You're so pathetic that if you even try to talk about us you'll be called crazy. You're hopeless and aren't even worth the air we let you breathe... for now"

it's absolutly true about latvia, some latvian patriots must to admit that latvian politic and economy are absolutly self distroing. all young population migrating abroad.there no future for people. the only people why surviving there are pensioners and people why live abroad. and little msm for latvianSS grow up and acsept the reality!!!

@MrErnijs I'm living in Latvia too, and I've read many other economists analysis that are far better then this demagogy and I can tell: he is either crazy or Marxist in poor disguise.

[pretorious700]

Boycott any Bush books.

[domatajs]

@seahawks78 CNN is kind of ok, BBC is fine. I still dont understand who in USA watches the horrible comedy show called "Fox TV".. No idea about CNBC though. There is huge difference between scientific, professional, analytical criticism, and ideological one. I absolutely cannot agree that they both are one and the same. For one, ideological criticism usually stinks very brightly :P And, there is quite plenty of good analytical criticism about the USA, EU, West, etc, especially in internet.

[zxslipperz007]

[domatajs]

Russia Today is official "storyline" from Kreml..does it suprise anybody that they allways find somebody critical of USA, EU, the West, now Latvia, etc..

Chaseef, let's get some examples of your flippant claim that he "gets it wrong" and "not news." Of course, it is an editorial program for starters, but let's pretend you know it, and provide us all with examples of your criticism.

I like Max, but this is pure entertainment. Keiser report has little to no news value. They get the facts wrong all the time, its very biased, and Max is so flippant about everything.

I know everyone loves Max, and thats fine, but dont take him to seriously.

The harsh truth about Latvia. Our Government is acting solely in their interests .. Life has changed drastically. This is the end!

[1XMarksSpot]

@Zigis696 Cause civil unrest then!!

[itsanameisntit]

@Zigis696 I though guns were cheap in former Soviet nations.

[Zigis696]

@itsanameisntit I don't know about the guns. I do not support violence. Riots at 13th January was redundant. The nation was in despair and still is... The situation is not getting better.

[itsanameisntit]

@Zigis696 I was kidding, sort of. However, as my bullshit metre enters the Red-Zone near overload, I am discovering a glitch in my moral compas. Guns did work for the first American Revolution, but those people were far, far more intelligent than today's occupants of the same geographical area. Good Luck with your great nation's fight.

[ThisBoyTV]

Love you Stacy and Max

[ms2et]

I love Max. My only concern about his sober and intuitive analysis of all things that we're observing is his underestimation of the power of hegemony. As unpleasant it is to realise, one must assume that those running the show are lucidly considerate of what's going on. What will happen?: will they simply print the press until it burns out or just call it a day and start again on the back of a war i.e. revert to a currency which is, again, backed by the time-honoured confidence in hegemony?

BP lacked the right tools. I think the tool I would like to use on BP was also used during the French Revolution. It is sharp, large blade, falls down and has a basket

[Ranger4564]

@userofnames What gives you the right to extract profit off of someone else's work? Does that thought ever occur to you? If you have risks to take precaution against, then you establish an insurance fund. But you still do not seem to connect your actions of profiting (in relation to) as a consequence to someone else being defeated by deficit. It doesn't matter that you are producing food or clothing or whatever, I too live in the system, but you must understand the consequence / your impact.

hes also the man responsible for the largest philanthropic act by any single human in the history of humanity.. but i guess your "selective amnesia" forgot to mention that one huh. mabe warren thought, if anyone is careless enough to invest based on a ratings agencies then they deserve to loose theyre money, because he certainly does not mention anything about stocks requiring any rating to make a good investment in any of his books.

[Ranger4564]

@userofnames You might think someone has the right to deprive others of the opportunity to live, but I don't. If you had a clue, you would consider the implications and consequences of charity. Let me put it simply for you... charity is oppression: it determines who lives, when, for how long, what behavior is permitted, how people live, what they can and cannot do, and if they don't fit into the categories, too bad, no charity for you. No one on Earth is entitled that kind of power. Oligarchy.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 It's not surprising that charity should be oppression, it's a direct offshoot of excessive accumulation (capitalism) which employs oppression. You guys really need to consider the philosophy behind this stuff and not just the mystical musings from your favorite prophet. Anyone who follows the logic of any system without prejudice will be able to see all of the conditions that the system will present some day, and can even predict when they will arise. Enter Keiser / Schiff / etc.

[Th3Wab3]

@Ranger4564 well said clear. common sense. i think it is strange how few people (brainwashing and propaganda considered) realize that our economic and social systems are supposed to serve man and promote a dignified existence for all... we should objectively identify the failures/strengths and implement solutions to problems.....

[Ranger4564]

@Th3Wab3 Thank you for understanding what I said, and for agreeing with what I said. Yes indeed, we are supposed to have created a society / system which was to be for the service of humanity, but instead, it is for the service of the most ruthless / malicious in the world. Einstein said exactly what I said, in his essay Why Socialism. I completely agree with Einstein. Google that article if you haven't read it. It's not that long.

Peace to you. Let the humanitarian revolution begin.

[userofnames]

@Ranger4564 no your absolutely right, fuck charity.. he should have just gone and brought up his own country and kept fucking idiots like you who think the world is some sort of garden of eden out of it... your comments regarding charity are so profoundly absurd, do you even know a thing about the bill and malinda gates foundation? do understand the first thing about how they operate? i suggest u look into it before replying back with more of your nonsense.

[Ranger4564]

@userofnames I left out bits because I thought they were stated / self evident, but I will clarify... The reason charity exists in the majority of cases is not coincidental misfortune, charity exists because capitalist societies have expropriated the wealth of the entire globe, to enable the "wealthy" societies you a-holes keep defending. What I implied if not stated, is that no douche bag deserves to accumulate that much wealth because wealth comes from deprivation elsewhere.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 You seem to make no connection between the accumulation of wealth by persons, and where that wealth came from. In your fantastic mind, it came out of their incredible genius, or out of your ass, but you neglect to recognize that profit can only exist if there is deficit elsewhere. So, yeah, Gates / Soros / Buffett all have Billions, but they collected that while depriving Billions a living wage, healthful conditions, decent work conditions, etc. People died while they accumulated.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 Currently, 60 million people die of starvation alone in the world each year. How come these wonderful people you are so eager to lick have done nothing to correct the situation? How come Gates gets to dictate how the money he "stole" from the poor people of the world is returned to the poor people of the world? Man, stop... you are sickening. I can't even continue trying to explain. Stop and just fucking think. Wealth is deciding who lives and dies, and you're cheering. WTF?

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 You and I differ on the premise that anyone is entitled to accumulate wealth to any extent that they have surplus which they distribute as Charity. I object to this mechanism not because I hate kindness, but because I object to the conditions that create the wealth and the insufferable conditions (they are the same - wealth creates poverty). I don't agree with most charity because people should not be put in conditions whithin which they need charity to survive. Capiche?

@darrylxxx1 Genghis Khan, Subutai or Hulegu were never asked to pay for their horrific barbarisms for the same reason that today's BANKERS will not be forced to pay for their insane criminality.

[Plum369]

does anyone else wonder why we even bother to obey laws anymore? People who make and enforce the laws don't even bother...

[Ranger4564]

The reason people act immorally and why that behavior recurs frequently is because Capitalism honestly does not make sense when rules are placed to prevent certain actions. If the argument that self-interest is the highest ideal, above all else including concern for the welfare of others / society at large, then why should anyone want to act against their self-interest by obeying stupid laws that only interfere in their profit motive? It really is simple. Capitalism is corruption, accept it.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 What I'm saying is, in the larger context, morality cannot exist in a civilization based on capitalism. At some point, there will be an emergent event like the current crisis, to expose the real nature of the immorality, but make no mistake... every single day as people make profit, looking out for their own self-interest, destroying opportunities for others, they are engaging in the same immoral behavior, albeit at a much smaller scale and not as perceptible.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 And people said the former USSR was oppressive and unstable economically? It's time we acknowledge that both systems failed humanity and that we need to evolve into a new system, not chose between 2 fucked up immoral oppressive failed ideologies. Wake up.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 Sorry all, I got distracted while writing this first entry. I meant:

The reason people act immorally and why that behavior recurs frequently is because OF Capitalism, AND CAPITALISM honestly does not make sense when rules are placed to prevent certain actions. If the argument IS TRUE that self interest is the highest ideal above all else including concern for the welfare of others / society at large, then...

Sorry about that... 256 character hell. :/

Great max, just carry on with that structured diagram linking everyone in the network of the financial mafia institutions, eventually once linked together through the big fish to the little tiny ones, a clear picture no doubt will be revealed to everyone. As far as Pinochet goes, he financed his own pockets whilst he hijacked Chile from its democratically elected government (with the aid of the CIA) and was clearly not a roll model as an economic reformer. Anyway bye all! I mean adios muchachos!

@AgentOrange04 I believe bp was pushing for cap and trade before the rig accident

[BabylonsKing]

@AgentOrange04 Cause you're to stupid to think clearly.

[AgentOrange04]

@BabylonsKing well i was just wondering if theres any other reason than the obvious ones (crude price manipulation, tighter environmental control, etc), so if you think you have any original ideas not yet discussed, please do share

[BabylonsKing]

@AgentOrange04 Well as usual my choice of words don't represent my true feelings on this issue. BP and their massive bunch of BUDS stand to make a ASTRONOMICAL FORTUNE ON THIS OIL SPILL. Lets start with Haliburton. Dick Cheneys Corp. bought every single outstanding stock in a company called Boots and Coots days before this spill for starters. You must forgive my uglyness on this issue, it's not my best subject and I will tell you more later.

The money/property system is the ROOT of all problems. We can't 'get rid of corrupt human behavior', we must have a system that DOES NOT BENEFIT IT.

1. Is the minimum requirement of whichever 'system' to make sure EVERY person has the basic necessities of life provided?

2. Do we have the resources and technology to acheive #1 worldwide?

3. Which system is best? And how do we get there?

[BMWg84]

Wow, is the USA just one giant fraud?

[harveybirdmannequin]

Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Goldman Sachs, etc. are "rich" because they are deeply connected to the corrupt gov't elite. It has nothing to do with skill, innovation, smarts, etc. The entire Western economies are built on fraud.

Latvia is learning the hard way what happens when you make a deal with the devil. They bought into the Western propaganda that the USSR is so bad. Guess what now you're debt slaves and the Western bankers dictated your economic policy so that they could gut and loot you.

[Melville10]

@harveybirdmannequin. I'm not a Buffett fan but it was sickening to see Buffett backpeddle on Goldman and financial wmd.

[mattghtpa]

@harveybirdmannequin Don't be a fool...the USSR was BAD or did you forget the fact that Stalin murdered and slaughtered millions of innocent Russian men, women, and children or the abject poverty that existed during USSR reign? The USSR fell because of its EXTREME corruption!

Revisionist history doesn't fly anymore, so don't state ridiculous crap that is going to be called out.

[Ranger4564]

@mattghtpa You're ignoring that the Capitalist system killed many times more, through policies of denial, deprivation, neglect, exploitation, etc. Please do not pretend that only Mao / Stalin / Mussolini / Hitler / Hirohito etc killed people. Yes, there are flaws in all the systems presented, but the consequential / collateral death caused by Capitalism in 1 year alone is actually greater than all of those systems combined. 60 million people starved to death last year. Revisionist history?

[pretorious700]

@Ranger4564 lol..."flaws"...I thought all of you Marxists had been relegated to the dustbin of failed dogmatics.

[Ranger4564]

@pretorious700 YOu might have done well in the system, but that does not mean the system does not injure hordes of others who cannot or do not want to or are otherwise unable / unwilling to do what you did to succeed. What you greedy MF's forget is that not all of us are greedy MF's. Some of us are failed dogmatica Marxists. ;)

[mattghtpa]

@Ranger4564 Well you see what you did there disingenuous by putting words in my mouth. I never defended anyone. I was calling out your bullshit.

You, however, did defended and promote a corrupt system, the USSR, by claiming it wasn't really that bad after all. Wrong!

So please respond to my actually words and not some fantasy person in your head.

Thank you.

[Ranger4564]

@mattghtpa I am not the original author you replied to, but all I meant by what I said is that I find all of the systems flawed, and if you're chastizing a system for corruption and oppression, it seems only fair to mention the other flawed systems. It is not necessarily the best way to judge them for overall benevolence, since any deaths are oppression, but without context, people think everyone lives a wonderful life in capitalism, and that communism is brutal. I was pointing out, not so. \ /

[trinomialtree]

@harveybirdmannequin

well, poor you, having to live in such a country. if you are so discontent with your system, why don't you get into a plane and fly it into the white house. the least it would do is end your miserable life and all your incessant whining day in day out on youtube. and, you might be able to take some other unproductive people along with you.

[agfigueroaa]

Hudson understands Economy, no doubt.



[overseachininadoll]

Well at least Warren Buffett's not a looting speculator. And he gives most of his wealth back to the society, unlike most other people keep all their speculate trade profits to themselves.

[davematherly]

@overseachininadoll

Buffet gives MOST of his wealth back?

When did this happen, and if so, how can he still be so wealthy?

[overseachininadoll]

@davematherly do the research google him. You'll find out.

[seancuk23]

We can all wave goodbye to our high living standards once the Coalition Government announce its austerity program during its emergency budget report, its going to be painful, more painful than you can imagine! So get your pitch falks and burning torches ready! The Economy is being destroyed by design and until everyone wakes up to the fact that the Government and the Money Men do not have our best interests at heart, the easier it is to loot us all until we have nothing!

[Ranger4564]

@seancuk23 When will you realize that in a Capitalist system, you don't even have my best interests at heart... why should government or capital have your best interests at heart when you can't do so for me or your fellow citizen? The wealth you speak of doesn't really belong to you... it belongs to all the people alive today who all want a warm bed, a shower, some food, a little water, and so the fuck on. You're talking losing wealth while people are dying. Have some decency.

[seancuk23]

@Ranger456 And then what is the alternative, communism? There is enough wealth locked up in the fortune 500 to bring all 6.5 Billion people out of poverty but their is a small group of evil people hell bent on destroying the freedom and prosperity of humanity, just look at people in Africa where they have great natural resources, why are they not rich? Just visit infowars.com and you will find out why, I wont apologise for my life! I believe in liberty and freedom that is decency enough!

[Ranger4564]

@seancuk23 What I don't understand is supporters of capitalism, complaining about capitalists. You are a contradiction. If it's OK for you to have self interest above concern for the welfare of others, and if it's acceptable for you to be indifferent to the conditions of others because you feel entitled to some extravagant life, then what makes you think that someone else doesn't hold that same position even more strongly than you? And what makes you think your position is right but they aren't?

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 The alternative is a system which might take parts of capitalism / socialism / fascism / egalitarianism / anarchism / communism / etc, and find the best parts, to develop a more benevolent system. It needs to be defined, the same way Capitalism arose out of the oppressive conditions of Feudalism. Just because I don't have an exact answer for you does not mean you cannot see the flaws in capitalism... or does it? I actually think we should automate and end work, so free dom / goods.

[seancuk23]

@Ranger4564 Okay you make a fair point but do belive that you should be rewarded for your hard work, If I was just going to work just to survive and that was it then what is the bloody point in surviving for the sake of survivial? Everyone should have a basic level of prosperity and those who go above that should be rewarded but at the same time have to pay more tax than those with less wealth to help others maintain a decent quality of life. Well that is what happens in the UK where I live.

[Ranger4564]

@seancuk23 I might be amenable to something approximating that system... you need to do some basic math to see if such a system can actually work. In the US, the reason there are Trillionaires is because we started with Thousandaires, who were able to collect so much wealth that more money was needed to fill the average man's pockets, so the slow decline of the value of the Dollar started and the slow level of Inflation started, leading to even more accumulation - Millionaires, Billionaires.

[Ranger4564]

@Ranger4564 What I'm getting at is that even though there is pretense that Capitalism worked... in fact, it did not. The banks have constantly printed more money, to replace all the money the capitalists were accumulating, so we end up with devalued currency and inflation. The Dollar lost 95% value since 1915. So since 1915, the wealthy have been able to accumulate 95% of the wealth created since 1915. The wealth may be (inter)national but it's with the wealthy. Any wonder why we're in debt?

[seancuk23]

@Ranger4564 in the UK we have up to a 50% tax rate for people that earn up to and over £120,000pa and people that earn £10,000 or under pay no tax at all and they even get housing and social benefits to top up their earnings! We have the NHS which I love, Capitalism and Healthcare do not mix! Our system has its problems like any other system but its very fair concidering! Small businesses should get more support though they are the backbone of any economy, Corps should be taxed a lot more.

[av63302005]

@Ranger4564 how do you know all this? you have an economics degree?

[Ranger4564]

@av63302005 No, I'm an architect, but I've been thinking all of my life about social issues. I just look at everything from an unbiased position and try to analyze what makes the most sense. Greed makes sense but our compassion interferes. Compassion makes sense but our greed interferes. I've written a lot about where the greed comes from, and it's not as natural as people claim. Much of it is conditioned by social structures we've had since the ruler conqueror. It's just reasoning.

@Ranger4564 Basically, looking at the world, there is absolutely no reason why we could not address the needs of everyone, but for the fact that so many people walk around with self esteem issues and need to be better than someone else, so they wish the other ill. The entire economic model is an interesting philosophical issue... and psychological. The reason capitalism exists is because it is an easy way to control and divide society such that people focus on their troubles. That's all.

More of Dr Michael Hudson and soon please.

As to the death of one American goy,well in the eyes of those of a greater god,he is as nothing.How many American goy equals one Israeli Zionist?Joan Rivers says 70,000 red necks are not even worthy to touch her shoes;so many goy and so few shoes!The figleaf of Zionism is Judaism and true Jews are horrified by this cabal of liars.
