Who are the rating agencies serving?

[ed11561]

Everybody knows the banks steal money from customers & use it to trade DERIVATIVES AT 30 TO 1 & when they loose they STEAL YOUR MONEY. Right CORZINE? YOU BELONG IN JAIL SCUMBAG & may you burn in hell you greedy bastards.

[geodiomio]

thanks Max, clear and cogent view of how the game is played

[jedimaster303]

Where will it all end Mr. Max? Where will it all end.......

[cliveandmat]

ECB chief Mario Draghi said that the eurozone showed signs of stabilisation. I lend you money based on nothing out of thin air,with %1 interest, you then lend me back the same money and i pay you %4 interest? This is what has happened to stop the banking system from collapsing again, with this money the banks then buy worthless debt from EU countries, they then place these worthless bonds back in the bank as collateral to lend more money? A Ponzi scheme, that is sure to end in tears?

[geodiomio]

@cliveandmat this is a popular bank "accounting" scam..you don't list a loss as you are posting  "earned" interest revenues

[edarotag84]

Why doesn't RT turn the heater on in the studio, it's so cold in there that the woman reporter has to wear a scarf on her head to keep her head warm.

[TheMystic2100]

@edarotag84 It's Press TV an Iranian tv station not Russia Today

[jdhf983y4uhu]

this guy hates the financial institutions so much he can't see the eu/euro elites are their idiot cousins.

[ekultus]

dont fuk with the keiser

[tigerone1970]

A) The World Bank and IMF take over the economies of individual countries through debt (HIPC, privatisation).

B) The amount of toxic assets and derivatives is rapidly approaching the value of all real estate, resources and GDP of the entire planet - $1 quadrillion.

C) Connect the dots.

The planet is being taken over through debt.

[pigeonpsycho]

spot on again max, as always

[grraadd]

gold vigilantes... or just (maybe less colourful) central banks

[syberraith]

Why, themselves of course!

[RoboBagons]

Buy guns!



[bicnarok]

Looks like RT are saving money by putting dead people on the panel, the man in the middle looks well gone:)

[TheFunkadelicFan]

@bicnarok It's not RT, it's Press TV.

[bicnarok]

@TheFunkadelicFan right you are, .:)

[Laoch111]

Max is a rarity by being someone that actually says things as they really are - the opposite of lamestream media and lying fucking governments.

[Tanarus20]

3:45 Fuckin-A! "Until Bankers start start going to Jail...The problem will continue!"

He's 100% Correct!

Trader = Traitor? Hmmmmmnnn

[SiimKilgas]

"Sleeping through the crisis..." like Max said at 5:04 LOL. Look at the guy in the middle! Like... literally.

[mudbonesmoke]

European countries can not pay off the debt to the European Central Bank. So the banks tell the countries to raise taxes, sell ports, and cut back on services like health services(austerity measures)

[Mikahopea]

@mudbonesmoke ecb can buy anything that move

[MAADMO]

I hate the way i try understanding what hes saying but I dont have a clue :(

[murrchops]

It's not really that hard to predict what the rating agencies are going to do so I really don't think they are feeding inside information to hedge funds et al... They are so far behind the curve it's laughable, I'm not getting inside information and I predict The UK will lose it's AAA status within a year. How do I know this, because we are bankrupt and the deficit is increasing massively. We don't make anything anymore and most of our banks our kaput.. inside information for you...or not...

[swizzlecheeks]

GLOBAL BANKING SYSTEMS= US Federal Reserve=Worldwide Central Banking=BAD

[mudbonesmoke]

@bigbeaudelindeau what happens is things like car loans, mortgages, and other debt are bundled together and sold to investors. They are given a rating based on the probability they will be paid off or default (not paid off). The rating agencies gave these bundles of debt very high ratings when they shouldn't have so they would be bought because if they didn't no one would buy the junk. They did this knowingly as a scam to make money. Hope that helps

[BigBeaudeLindeau]

god dammit I have no idea what Max is saying about securitized debt packages and such

[LPD15ponce]

I respect Egan Jones Ratings. Though smaller than S&P, or Moody's, they tend to work(rate) for the buyer, not the seller.

[daviddalbylive]

I do not rate the rating agencies.

[missvitreous]

"people sleeping through this crisis"....like the guy in the middle lol

[life0is0just0a0ride]

I wish the markets would just crash already!!! Lets just take are kick in the balls in one swift action than take it in small portions at a time leading to making it even sore once the big kick comes.

[SOSTacoJohnson]

@life0is0just0a0ride our*

[zionisimkills]

@life0is0just0a0ride ,,orderly decline benefits the Fed, and USA, and other central banks, and governments, a quick drop benefits  the little guy, now think about it, who are they concerned about.

[dj4monie]

@life0is0just0a0ride Buy Silver...

[drmarthacastro]

@life0is0just0a0ride ,

The problems is...They don´t have any balls to kick!

[bicnarok]

@life0is0just0a0ride I agree, mind you I aint got any money anyway so nothing to loose really

[murrchops]

Max Keiser, socialist living in Paris...Nuff said....

[SOSTacoJohnson]

@murrchops lol u mad bro?

[murrchops]

@SOSTacoJohnson No not mad just irritated, Keiser is financially illiterate, it is not the private equity people or hedge funds that are the problem it is the idiot politicians who mortgaged their people to keep themselves in power. Greece does not have the money to pay their debts, this is completely false, they are bankrupt... They always go bankrupt, the politicians used to just inflate the problem away when they had the Drachma

[SOSTacoJohnson]

@murrchops kiddo, if you still think the corrupt politicians are running the show, then you're still asleep. time to wake up.

[murrchops]

@SOSTacoJohnson It's not a show and no-one is running it, it's just simple maths they have run up massive debts and are now trying to blame everyone but themselves. The politicians try and stop people selling the bonds at lower prices but the bonds are worthless and were always worthless. There are some bankers who are in with politicians but on the whole the hedge fund industry and private equity people are not at fault for debt defaults.

[SOSTacoJohnson]

@murrchops like i said, if you think politicians are the one's pulling the strings and causing the downfall of the globe's economies. Then you are asleep. Perhaps you should watch the video: The history of central banking with william stuart. This is all i have to say. goodday.

[garrethdavis]

@murrchops Define socialism. 

[murrchops]

@garrethdavis did you miss the twentieth century?

[garrethdavis]

@murrchops Can you read?

[jamesjjjspike]

To the MAX!...We should tell these agencies to RATE THIS!! off with thier heads!

[rvrola]

Until the system is changed, corruption will always be here. Monetary system kills people while credit system takes care of people. Bill Still's The Secret of the Wizard of Oz and Lyndon Larouche Economic policies will save mankind.

[freddietz96]

Ah, si, donkey show gringo, got yer tres equis rating right here, thick Latina ass. You no think Tijuana Tristessa deserved the “equis, equis, equis”? Si, muchacho, me no think yer Don Quixote Eurozone credit worth a 3-peso puta either. You now Aye-Aye-Plus er Bee-Bee-Minus, depending how the wind blow, si? Si, how the wind blow out a donkey’s ass.

[lilbromarky1]

He owns Euros? C'mon max even I didnt believe that. Your propaganda coming from the far east is becoming easier to detect nowadays.

[TomaasHara]

@lilbromarky1 heheheh maybe he should tell us how much is he in red :-> both euro and gold

[lilbromarky1]

@TomaasHara All bernanke has to do is open his mouth and announce money printing, all of that will reverse. Everytime someone asks me what I think is coming in 2012, my answer is that it all depends on the central banks. Without their support this thing would crumble. Any type of shock or jarring event in the western markets will force them to make a move to reassure.

[evex77]

The guy in the middle looks like ALF.

[youngbuck189]

Who is your daddy and what does he do? What does he do?

[caessarion]

I thought he used to be a SNL anchor and got mad at the network and they kicked him out of the US, and he was all bitter,then he moved to Paris. I thought all that, the first time I watched one of his vids a few years ago. I finally looked him up, and nope, somehow my mind just made all that up. That's weird. I Love Max Kieser, balls of steel, I hate the fukn devils.

[StandUp555]

Max, where's the rest ?

What did those other 2 guys say ?

[StandUp555]

@StandUp555 . OK .. I watched the whole interview on PressTVGlobalNews

The guys from London & Washington actually had a lot to say.

May I suggest people search for "Eurozone crisis-News Analysis-01-16-2012"

The "whole" interview was very good ... Thx to PressTVGlobalNews

[Stevie68000]

That's what happens when the banking & monetary policy are controlled by Jews.

[MsNoworldorder]

Truthful as always Max. Credit ratings agencies are run by banks.

[EndTheFedRes]

They are serving their corporate/government puppet masters.

END THE FED
