On the Edge with Max Keiser . . . and Bruce E. Levine (3/4)

[Melville10]

Eating garbage food (e.g. soda, fast food, processed food) doesn't help either.

[DanUuNoel]

Fine interview, but Levine beats around the bush--pun intended. Why doesn't he mention the very real conspiracy to terrorize the public?

The root of the problems he denounces lies with the mysterious entity that placed the order for the 9/11 false flag terror attacks, the ensuing phony "war on terror," and their huge censorship.

Once 9/11 is exposed, all other conspiracies will likely fall like a house of cards. Certainly Levine should understand that as a psychologist.

Love,

[dvalentino007]

What a load of crap. Love the definition of broken people where they try and sell and remedy. Problem reaction sollution all over. Don't count me in for sending Obama flowers. lol

[rockinschool283]

My booty is like a heat seeking missle for men :-) LMAO

[blaziermissy]

I enjoyed your comment...made me smile to know that others see the logic and saneness of an RBE.

[elite1980s]

(2/2) @blaziermissy..But socialism is not the same as fascist as you say. Socialism is a "control" of wealth which is spread over the population equally but fascism does not share that wealth with no one except the people at the top. Fascism is a more ruthless means of control of power & wealth (but Tyranny is by far worse than all of them which incidentally is what is going on at the minute). I hope this may have shared some light into your query.

[blaziermissy]

I see what you're saying but my point was that all of them are MONETARY based.

Socialism OR facsim, and most certainly capitalism all can and do end in corruption and abberhant behaviors, social hierarchy, and dispr. distribution of resources.

Socialism has hierarchy and power elitism, too, just as facism/totalitarian.

People just refuse to see this...that's the point I was attempting to bring forth.

[ProsperityGlobal]

About Healthcare in the United States, The Webster Tarpley/Lyndon LaRouche model of Medicre for anyone who wants it for $100 a Month with deductions for families and unemployed sounds about right.

[blaziermissy]

@joneselius Yes, it's possible, I agree.  600 people each day are waking up to this fact:)

approx. 400,000 in 200 countries so fare...the majority are in the U.S. so far. Imagine that.

It will take the masses creating awareness and educating other first. That's ongoing.

Nice Hat Trick Max

[MrDistinct]

this video rocks

i'm sharing it

[elite1980s]

People are just brainwashed after being abused by the government then will become more susceptible to the abuser and so the government will abuse them even more, no more different to a rape victim. People should wake up from this nightmare, revolt from the oppression and get the filth, which in power and cast them into a prison hell.

[blaziermissy]

@elite1980s While I can understand your reasoning to apply justice, It's impt. to realize that exploitation of others under our economic system is a SYMPTOM of this system. Think about it. The ultimate/highest goal one could reach under Capitalism is monopoly or cartel. We're living under it now.

Make no mistake...socialism, communism, facism are the same...just more govt regulated, but they all produce corruption.

[elite1980s]

(1 /2) @blaziermissy.. Thanks for your comment but I was talking about "abuse syndrome" which when governments exploit the people and people just become drones to the point they simply treat it as the norm. The truth is that Obama and other presidents alike in the US or in fact in any other country which act in favor of Bankers & Financial institutions, will do so at the expense of the people (aKa the Tax payers).

[GuinnyIre]

if you can afford to post here you're not donating enough money to the government to solve the problem of the poor and a basic standard of living for the poor in America like free cable, free internet and free memberships at a workout facility.

[ngonea]

@GuinnyIre - you really should stop spreading myths, since 1991 Bill Clinton stripped Romerika of jobs with Nafta, and then open the borders to Mex for yrs. Stop blaming poor ppl who have been used as surplus labor every since they were tricked to believe "Cons" titution & the lie of the 14th amend, if you want to blame someone blame the fuc_ing Pentagon Terrorist Industrial Complex, look at their budget, we have smart bombs not smart kids, & the 2.3 trill is still missing from the pentagon.

[GuinnyIre]

@ngonea Wow, you address nothing in my response. You should quit taking acid and posting on You tube at the same time. If you are a progressive live it through your actions not others pockets. In fact we have this thing called the Peace Corp, you might want to try it out.

[lopinglobo]

Was reading the other day that 95 percent of those treated worldwide for ADHD (including Adult ADHD) were right here in the United States. That should tell us something beyond already knowing that we're the largest market for big pharma.

Personally, I don't get to feeling "broken" or "beaten down", I just get pissed....

[pentel1911]

haha, "kids are bored in school so they are labeled as ADD"

I didn't know school had to be fun, I guess that makes sense though. As an adult I never have to do things that I don't want to do and everything I do at work is fun. This guy is full of horseshit. kids need to be taught not entertained.

why does it always go back to Bush and healthcare? jesus christ, shut the hell up with that two party bullshit. they are all politicians and they are all actively engaged in screwing we the peasants.

[FENXMillennia]

they have a medical condition for kids that talk back to their parents now? they have meds too?

What if these parents just disciplined their kids in the first place? A belt doesnt need a doctor's prescription.

[blaziermissy]

@joneselius Sorry to interject here, but I wanted to say that I couldn't agree more with this statement you made. We see eye to eye in this regard.

[blaziermissy]

@joneselius It's too bad we don't see eye to eye, as mental health professionals do in fact support compliance and status quo "normalized" behavior.

Globilization of established, traditionalized power is a threat and is UNACCEPTABLE, however, a resource based world economy addresses the problems at the "root" cause.

Please research it thoroughly...and support it.

It is the world we truly ALL deserve.

Solutions.

[trinomialtree]

speak to me again when you need some bread and a tent and i'll show you that while money isn't real, what it can buy is.

[CelticReject]

There is also a psychological condition known as 'learned helplesness'. This is playing a major role in what we are seeing I believe.

[blaziermissy]

Dr. Bruce Levine: what a decent human being. I applaud his courage for speaking out.

A decent mental health professional can no longer "morally" help others to conform and return back to this corrupt social and economic system.

The very reason I don't practice.

[hugolp]

Max your guest are getting lamer and lamer. Bring someone real.

[Doenietmeermee]

[Garyscott7]

Finally an insider confesses what any rational thinker knows, but has been told to shut up about. Viva La Revolution !

[LisaJ4Liberty]

Great dicussion. In our culture a lie is widely accepted as the truth, and vice versa. It's no wonder everyone is disspirited and unable to function rationally. Reason and reality have been stood on their heads for much too long.

[blaziermissy]

@LisaJ4Liberty yes, I agree, and it's time we flip the status quo off of its lead-laden ass, don't you think?

[orangedac]

single payer system means passing on the bill to others.

[blaziermissy]

@orangedac

No, It means not to pass the bill to others, that's just what happens when those with the most money and the largest lobby group make the decisions.

single payer system means less profit for pharma and across th board, equality in health care.

[orangedac]

In single payer system as in any socialised system, people who use the service less end up having to pay for those who use it more.

Why not have single payer driving insurance? Or single payer grocery purchases? Or single payer tax system?

In my opinion, people should pay for the services they use. The tragedy is that when one group finds out how to vote themselves money from the rest of society, democracy collapses.

[blaziermissy]

@orangedac Why don't we have equal healthcare across the board? Why not? The rest of the 1st world, indust. western world has it. We're a very wealthy nation, and we have other sociallized institutions: police, libraries, schools, etc.

Are we too stupid to see that we should have immaculent health care, hands down?

[pentel1911]

@blaziermissy how are the finances of those you cite? There is so much fat in the system that healthcare cannot possibly be afforded for all. That wealth you speak of is the private property of individuals.

do you donate money to charities that provide healthcare to the indolent, poor, or unfortunate? How much do you personally give to the causes you speak of? or do you think the gov't should take, take, take from those who you deem have more than enough?

[blaziermissy]

@pentel1911

You're naive. The wealth of our nation is very concentrated; systematically stolen through usury of the very elite, most especially the poor who pay tons in regressive taxes. The important, valuable land haw long since been bought up by elites, and convincing people who dont RESEARCH that the poor are poor b/c it's all their fault in such a "land of opportunity."

The govt allows the "take, take, TAKING." You're too busy being grateful to feed your addiction to consumerism.

[blaziermissy]

Perhaps you're so demoralized that pointing a finger in the right direction is to show irresponsibility.

The poor are a convenient target. They're kicked anyway.

[pentel1911]

answer the questions. don't change the topic. How much do YOU PERSONALLY GIVE to charities that provide care to the indolent, poor, or unfortunate?

You seem to want the gov't to take from the middle class to give to the indolent, so how much do you give on your own free will?

[blaziermissy]

@pentel1911 Personally, I give 5 hours of my life every single damn day.

Giving money to charity is only temporary relief, as it doesn't address the ROOT CAUSE of poverty.

The only viable solution is to transition to a resource based economy. The world we ALL deseve.

No more exploitation for resources or cheaply made goods to break down so more resources can be wasted.

[blaziermissy]

@pentel1911

And what do you do for the poor? And what do you do as a citizen, not a consumer?

[pentel1911]

I stay busy enough bettering myself, I don't champion any causes and therefore I'm not the hypocrite you seem to be.

Oh my, "every single damn day"? quite a few poor on the beaches are there (assuming that is you in the picture with what I'm sure is an american made bikini and american made shades created with all american resources)?

but I just read your page, I wish you all the luck in the world creating the utopia you so desire.

[blaziermissy]

@pentel1911 ASSuming I want the govt to take from the middle class was born from divisionary propoganda.

Stop believing the bullshit. It's divisionary and serves no purpose but to divide the people and giving them the illlusion that there are two distinct parties and democracy, when in fact, there isn't.

The media forms your opinion, averting your attention, pitting the poor and m.class against each other just like our economic system which promotes greed, social hierarchy & apathy.

[trinomialtree]

stupid americans deserve to be abused. its like the famous "battered wives" syndrome, americans just keep going back for more abuse -- otherwise, explain why george bush was voted in for 2 terms.

[LisaJ4Liberty]

"explain why george bush was voted in for 2 terms."

Only about 1/6 of the population voted for that guy. Not to say that only 1/6 of the US population is stupid, as it's obviously higher than that. But my impression is people are pretty stupid everywhere in the world. Let's be fair.

[Rosenkreuzer120]

Come on Lisa, he bought his election. See: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy by Greg Palast.

[trinomialtree]

well he got ~51% of the popular vote the 2nd time around.

and obama, the great agent of "change" won by a landslide. hope you guys are enjoying the change thats left in your wallets.

yes, most people around the world are stupid. but even stupid people know how to fight for their rights -- e.g. not condoning a mafia-like government and electing the flashiest pimp around the block doling out the most money and favors to be their head.

[trinomialtree]

having said that, i am a major beneficiary of this idiotic system so i can't really complain. however, even i am appalled by the practices going on in my firm and how we abuse our corporate ethics to make a fast buck.

but as with most wife beaters, once you get into a pattern of abuse, its hard to stop. so its hard for us to stop this twisted enjoyment of shafting mainstreeters out of their money and lining our own pockets.

particularly when you see a long list of 0s in your year end bonus.

[trinomialtree]

"look.... all you need to know is that you're along for the ride. its a big boat, why rock it?" -- j.b. johnston's reply to sonny crockett

[blaziermissy]

@trinomialtree Why rock it?  Because this type of environment is short term, drug addict typical behavior. Because millions are starving for their inability to pay, and because it's not conducive to human happiness or flourishing.

For starters, that is.

2 problems:

1) money addiction (single most effective dopamine trigger!!)

[Olds J, Milner P. (1954). "Positive reinforcement produced by electrical stimulation of septal area and other regions of rat brain". J Comp Physiol Psychol 47 (6): 41927.]

2) under-diagnosed, tolerated and in Western Nihilizations hugely honored antisocial personality disorder (ICD-10 / 3-6% male pop.), which destroys reciprocal altruism.

[timelesstruths]

systems of control and who is benifiting

the hole is still much deeper

Thanks Max

GREAT POST

TIMELESS

[louis12346]

We need a New Fed Gov. Program to stop this abuse.

[bertly71]

Many Americans are intellectually lazy and refuse to accept what is happening until it is too late. An abusive government is what we now have, Max is spot on again.

[reginald58]

check out [run from the cure] on youtube, Rick Simson, being jailed for providing people with a cure, not a treatment. and not charging money for this cure.

BTW did you know

Legalized drugs kill more people each year than the illegal drugs.

Marijuana kills 0.

The number one cause of teenage suicide is anti-depressants.

[domeschino]

Cannot generilize. I Know what s behind all wars, I own sme stocks, I think I know the truht and I AM THE HAPPIEST MAN on earth. I enjoy my food, my health, mother nature, my children i seize every moment!! Knowing the truth do not nccessarly make one become abused!!

Wrong assumption

[Lingerfoot]

War is about money and nothing more. Peace!

[klard]

domeschino: Great for you. You are one of those people who perceive they benefit from the criminal corporatist state and that you are better off because of the system than you would be if the system operated with truth and justice.

[lindabebe835]

You are on to it mad max, right on!!

[lindabebe835]

Good points made here. Stockholm syndrome is exactly what american people are suffering from!! They need an awakening. Truth will set them free if they are ready for it.

[frugalite]

Max, it was nice to see someone from a different discipline on the program, very smart. I think what this guy is saying here shines more light at the root of the problem the US is facing than a purely economical analysis would.I totally agree that america is largely a nation of broken people and they are incapable of any meaningful change after so many decades of intense monopolist corporatist brainwashing.
