  • Funny. America is "sitting" on the most oil in one location S of the Dead Sea with our Euroconverts to Judaism

  • Stephen Leeb is not a good source of information!!! How can you allow him on your show? He is painting a crisis that doesn’t exist (scripted scarcity). The “devil” did mix a little truth in with his lies, but that doesn’t make what he says it true. If you have questions, let me know. I have tons of info on this subject.

  • who does he think he is, Tywin Lannister?

  • Energy source of the future ? Max Keisers brainfarts !

  • The guest (Steven L.) needs to read "Power Hungry: the myths of green energy", he will then understand how much of a "nut" he truly is. Wind energy is a detriment to the environment.

  • JUST SAY CRAP DAMNIT!

  • Cold fusion! (Sell gold alert?) "The 1MW E-Cat is Working Well"! "Energy Revolution"!

    "TONIGHT I WILL PUBLISH THE NON SECRET REPORT THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL RELEASE...WARMEST REGARDS TO ALL, ANDREA ROSSI"

  • you can learn more about alchemy by reading the BOOK OF AQUARIUS

    AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

  • Max are you hitting that?

  • How could commodities not go up with the huge increase in the supply of federal reserve notes?

  • Wow. These folks are crazy. And I thought Fox and MSNBC had spin.

  • Foreign Libyan Journalist's Confessions on REAL Libya and Gadaffi

  • They do the same in physics read: tsolkas. gr /html /gravital-5. html

  • y u so fraudulent , banks ?

  • Is this the same guy Stephen Leeb that said there was no houseing bubble?Peter Schiff called him on it.2008 I think.

  • one of the best Episode!!! thx Max, Stacy and Stephen

  • (Con't) At that time, we will add those persons in government who were part of the dark's illegal shenanigans, and then announce dates for the special trials. - Washa, through Sheldan Nidle

  • Several recent raids on some of our Earth allies' lesser facilities uncovered a huge number of people who needed to be added to our ever-lengthening list of arrestees. The location where these individuals are being held is rapidly turning into a small city! Our intention is to move these people to special aboveground facilities once the dark cabal's governments have resigned and the new governance is in place. - Washta, through Sheldan Nidle

  • pwc auditors in india r in jail for last 3 years on non-bailable warrants for satyam fraud no spl treatment here

  • Lets all do fraud for 1 milion, and pay 250k for a fine.

  • N.America is on death watch. Its been a sucker for Hydrocarbon money. This is where its foreign policy is made for military intervention & BIG OIL. Europe has labled Canada oil sands a dirty oil. Both Canada & U.S. have little plans for New Nukes (small reactor) power plants for energy along with other renewables.

  • "An amazing turd of events"....LOL.

  • Occupy Silver! - remember, it's the new gold.

  • lol! "people matter" element, haahaha

    US dollar = "people matter"

  • Mr. Leeb is shortsighted. The population of Chinese consumers is on the verge of collapse. Chairman Mao's one-child policy is coming home to roost. Beginning from 2014, the number of Chinese households that consume goods and services will begin steadily declining, and the number will continue to decline each year for the next 50 years. At the peak, the drop offs from 2035 to 2045 will be a biologically implausible 10% each year. No nation or economy can survive that rate of decline.

  • Mr. Leeb would be correct, except for the fact that China's consumer population is about to implode. Say what? Yep, the number of households in Chinese that consumer goods and services is going to decrease every year going forward - it's not going to increase. Domestic consumption is going to decrease.  We have a word for that... It's not the right word, but it's the word that most people understand - DEPRESSION. You want to make money out of China? Short it!

  • magnetic energy is the way..free energy..

  • Mr. Leeb is right, China thinks in decades. There's an anecdote from late 90ies: at regular press conference in Chinese foreign office, journalists started to get translation in all other languages but English; they protested, and spokesman said it was announced in advance; they said it was not, and spokesman produced memo - the same date, 10 yrs before, saying: we'll stop Eng-trans in 10 yrs from now. Well, Western media surely forgot the memo just a few Wall St. bells after receiving it, :)

  • One of the best KR episodes ever. I think Stephen Leeb got it right.

  • The Carry Trade is causing oil prices to go up. Speculators are taking advantage of the cheapened US dollar which is the current worlds reserve and what the oil is traded in. Lybia wanted to trade their oil in other gold backed currencies but US and their bosses didn't like that. China has merchant relations with Lybia and other African countries where as the US and NATO want to kill, destroy and takeover.

  • Keiser Report=Anti Financial terrorist Unit

  • Max Keiser, entertaining as usual. But how true the message... How do these bankers get away with it?..I have my own theory; Governments globally are themselves victims of the bankers. When will these short sighted, weak minded greedy politicians finally wake up and smell the coffee?... When China finally takes over? Which may not be a bad thing by the way, because they are the smartest, the hardest working and most enterprising people on the planet. It's time to teach your children Mandarin

  • Fecal Alchemy causes anal financial herpes

  • Max Keiser and Stacey Herbert, just perfect together, the information provided, PRICELESS! Thank you, both for your great work. I admire you both very much.

  • @drmarthacastro I could swear Max and Stacey are fucking

  • @drmarthacastro Would have been great 10 years ago. But I guess Max was too busy on Wall Street stuffing his pockets then.

  • @Mumwaldee People are not allowed to have a change of heart and be be redeemed then are they? The main thing is he's trying to get the information out there now. Maybe late but as the old saying goes "Better late than never".

  • @Afis79 He's had no change of heart, he's simply cashing in on information that he knew 10 years ago that won't hurt the wall street gang now. Cows are gone, closing the gate won't save the farm. Funny how he's always calling Americans cowards, but he ran off to France. Why isn't he down on Wall Street with a bullhorn leading the charge against Goldman Sacks?

  • Comment removed

  • @Afis79 No, I'm not down on Wall Street with a bullhorn, but I have never been a Wall St. insider either and I don't have a huge following of people that listen to me.

  • @Afis79 If I did, you could bet I'd be out there if I believed in real change. Max is just making some money and selling books for his guests. Doesn't seem like he's really afraid of a collapse if he's hawking the wares of all these economists.

  • great episode

  • smart grid & wind turbines is dumb

  • I wish American's would STOP whining about the price of gas here. In the EU, some ME countries Israel in particular + Down Under, the price for a gallon of gas starts at around $6 and goes up into the teens. STOP WHINING - you have never had it so good even now!

  • If people can't / won't stop breeding, I wish there would be a pandemic of sorts, so at least half the population gets wiped out. Humans are destroying this planet through their own selfishness and greed. I hope many countries around the world also understand that China is NOT the enemy nor is Iran, but the US and UK is; and when crunch time comes, they will side with China (and Iran) vs. the US/UK.

  • @Saywhatyoumust are you offering you and yours to go first to reduce the numbers ;) or is it only for other people <3

  • @thenumber13dotnet - Hey whatever! I'm happy to die knowing there will be several billion more right behind me. But preferable it would be nice to see the Bush, Cheney, Rumsie, Clinton, Blankfein, Dimon, Blair, Rothschild, Rockefeller etc., familes die first - they deserve to die more than I ever do.

  • Simple, use China's violations of their WTO agreements and their attempts to infiltrate American regulations against them to institute stiff tariffs right now. Europe buys quality, it's only the Americans that feel ok about buying a simple garden hose every year because everything China makes sucks and breaks right away. Europe buys German products, this is no secret.

  • **My prediction on the future of the Keiser Report**

    Max ends up sleeping with one of the many hot journalists working for RT....Stacy finds out...Stacy freaks out...BAM...no more Keiser Report.

    Enjoy it while you can my friends....some things are just TOO GOOD TO LAST.

  • I would like to see someone trade US dollars into gold now thats something more intresting than feces to gold.

  • Why doesn't the CIA burn you two? Not that I want them to because I quite like rhetoric. They don't seem to give a shit about protecting America's interests anymore perhaps they are supporting the vaticans push for a NWO. :-\

    for the rest of you Russia, China, USA, Canada, Australia, UK and Commonwealth, France, Italy, Sweden and others intel operate under the same handshake and most of the 3+4G antenna sites worldwide are owned by...mess with them and they'll scramble your brains ;-\

  • except it did work...for them. one guy burned down a block of apts, these guys burned down the world. Why aren't they in prison for life again? I forget...:/

  • china is taking over west coast canada also cause they know canada's west coast has all the resources

  • @solojam Regulations get changed slowly when China steps in, like an insect getting eaten by another without realizing it. Beware as you are and watch the rules morph against your people, be vocal and fight with prejudice at any cost, including covertly against any local Chinese company infiltrators, donors, etc you can connect to your situation.

  • @Blues353 vancouver is mainly chinese already, its inevitable at this point.

  • Max, i dont know NOTHONG obout Gaddafi- so STFU!

  • @studioXforum It's not his fault you don't know shit.

  • I seriously can't stop laughing! LOL!

  • i have an idea for cheap energy,its called the 2-10's.two feet,ten toes.get off ur ass america,ride a bicycle,walk.look,there goes my neighbor driving his car to the mail box.

  • @nooblady2310. No he is just counting in that it takes a lot of labor and energy to reclaim that gold, there is very little in each component as less is more when speed and efficiency is your aim.

  • Oil is cheap. It is cheaper than it was in the 50's when priced in US dollars that haven't been inflated. Take 2 silver dimes from from 1955 for instance, those dimes, being silver are worth $2.39 in today's money. So at $3.50 a gallon for gas, you could get 10 gallons of gas for $1.46 in silver US dimes. We have been robbed ever since the US left the gold and silver standard,

  • There is already a cheap unlimited, tested source of energy right now and both china and India are developing it. It's called a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor. It's a fission breeder reactor that uses abundant Thorium as it's fuel and it burns it down to a tiny fraction of the waste produced by conventional reactors. Energy from the LFTR combined with coal and water can make thousands of years worth of oil.

  • Stephen Dweeb forgot to mention that the biggest reason for the increase in commodity prices is the devaluation of the US dollar, not the demand from China.

  • wil Max ever figure it out. You can't look for one batch of criminals to REALLY legislate or control the banksters. The government is NOT the solution but the Problem.

  • god... I don't know why, but I HATE the word "fickle" matter so much, and they say it so damn much xD. Hell, I'd much prefer the word "shit" compared to that...

  • The US wars are, and have been, funded by China. With a debt of trillions to the Chinese, America will faulter under the weight. A real shame.

  • @sonance666 hopefully you do realize we are our biggest debt holder.

  • Will Max lose it today?

  • it's the hillbillie factor

  • @tyandar333 For sure...

  • What is it about Stacey that makes me want her so bad?!?!?!

  • There might have been a few atoms of gold in his shit.

  • cina is very old civilation that wy they know the times is working for them but american are very young and they cant not preserve their temper they are very nervous about the future because they use to look forward and if the thing does not work quikly like they want they become act like child in contrery whit china

  • @lordyhalto you don't know what you are talking about. how long did it take for the private sector to enter the internet arena? only government can fund forward thinking nebulous ideas that have a fruition of decades unlike the private sector.

  • Can someone please explain to me: why is gold valuable?

  • @MikeyAbbott I think one of the things is that it's a rare, finite resource, everyone in the world likes it(for things like jewelry, .etc), it's fungible... things like that. It's not a valuable resource in that we can't eat it or anything, but it has all of the characteristics of a strong leverage device for different currencies. Economies can remain stable if you base money on things like gold, that have finiteness and general, collective appeal. Fiat money has no inherent value.

  • @MikeyAbbott The worth of a good is determined by the work put into producing (in this case mining) it. First few chapters of Marx's Capital explains this process. I would suggest reading it to find out how the capitalist system steals and extorts from the workers who produce our material wealth, through what is called "profit maximization", the accumulation of capital to a few millionaires/billionaires, rulers over the dumb; the same kind of slavery theory that the feudal system operated under.

  • United States kicked China out of Lybia so I guess we have that going for us.

  • bwahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah­hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhah­ahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahaha­hha

  • @GTR66960 The age on you channel reads wrong...it should say 6, please make the correction. thanks

  • stuttering defence attorney in My Cousin Vinny, anyone?

  • WTF is the American way of life?

  • @deutschbuch30 war ! aggression, inversion of sovereign nations, world policeman and all the shit

  • Leeb is talking about wind turbines as if they're going to save us all.

    I don't know if he's a deliberate disinfo man or a useful idiot in action, but wind turbines are garbage.

    Then he says "solar is, in many cases, competitive with hydrocarbon". What a crock of shit. If that were true, the private sector would be all over solar. But no, we need government to subsidize solar, and even then solar companies go bankrupt (Solyndra?).

    This guy is a China Alarmist for fail reasons. Ignore him.

  • @LordDyhalto Solar power is a "crock of shit" because the panels that everyone uses are basically first generation technology from the 1950, imagine trying to compair a car or computer from that time. No one has done any real research to make them more efficent. Condeming current solar panels is like thumbing your nose at The Wright Flyer because it was slow and hard to steer. The problem is not solar or wind, its technology, pr the lack of it.

  • @joecoool100

    And if somebody invested in a fleet of Wright Flyers, they would have gone bankrupt.

    You want to invest in solar panel development? Go right ahead. But putting your stakes in inefficient, unproven technology is illlogical and stupid.

  • @LordDyhalto Here are another examples of "ineffient and unproven technology".....Model T Ford, Chemotherpy, Saturn Space Program, early Personal Computers, the Early Internet, Early TV and Radio, Ships made from Iron.... BTW there were a fleet of Wright Model B flyers, hundreds of them, Im from the Dayton area......and I assure you the company didnt go bankrupt...it changed the world.

  • @lightandbeautiful hahaha

  • When are people going to understand that despite the fact that it is 2011.We as a species are still stuck in the behaviour pattern of loot,pillage and rape.The only difference is this happens now in a different form.It is not that difficult to see this.I don't know when humanity will learn that this behaviour is not beneficial for anyone in the long term.I suppose its anyone.s guess.The business model takes the place of royalty and aristocracy or the elite of times gone by .

  • Think about it for a second....just like MAX says: Up the Schfffing Schfffing !!!!

  • "Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car."

    The housing bubbles around the world have only exacerbated the oil dependency crisis. Cities are planned for some odd reason for massive suburban sprawl. Everyone wants a single detached home. No public transit. You have to drive everywhere in gridlock. So if oil really does run out, either a new fuel or new type of car engine will be invented or entire cities will be torn down and rebuilt for high population density.

  • rofl keep doing what you do keiser/ stacy.

  • Would rather suck a Russian tit. Hope the Russians come instead. I like their women.

  • The USA will soon be sucking hind Chinese tit. Pathetic.

  • @cosmicskydaddy1 The USA has been be sucking hind Chinese tit for years, and continues to do so. Ever hear of "Walmart"?

  • @JRCrowley You are right. Watch Americans stampede at black Friday sales at Walmart. They run over fellow citizens, and have literally killed them to get their grubby hands on slave made Chinese goods.Can you imagine what these Americans will do when all the jobs are gone and things start to really get bad.

  • Sorry, i can't help myself: HOLY SHIT!!! :D

  • Brilliant show guys. Well done!

  • Leeb is a tool. watch?v=4tTEHC6sE8o watch?v=P6RVklHQ-9k

  • "Citi agrees to pay $285m after 'defrauding investors in a $1b derivatives deal'" that's like saying well if you're going to defraud people atleast cut us in on a %.

  • This monetary system causes the Genocide of many thousands of humans every single day by simply withholding resources from those who cannot 'pay' for them. It doesn't matter if it's a starving African, an old age pensioner who cannot afford heating. or someone who cannot afford medical care.

  • ...years ago, I saw an ad in GQ Magazine. For $80 you can buy two gel-caps filled with 24k gold leaf. The point is to eat them and because the body doesn't need gold, it simply gets rid of it through bowel movements. So, now you can say you're so rich, you shit gold...

  • this is great!

  • Probably because war is an animal instinct, rather than a rational one. Organisms fight each other and fight off each other long before they decide to trade one thing for another. The Zebra herd does not 'trade' one of its own for the rest to survive, the lion takes the ones it can get without asking. Watch Planet Earth, even one group of apes will war against another.

  • There are 79 protons in Gold,there are 80 protons in mercury,if you wanted to turn any material into gold,mercury would be your best bet,since it has one more proton than gold,you would have find away to remove one proton from mercury,and yet mercury is a liquid,there are times when i think that science got something wrong through selfish prejudices in Education and universities,no one ever argues with the scientists today,and yet they think they are right,not even the ones with low grades......

  • I cannot handle the amount of truth :(. Need to view a few times

  • The Alex Jones Channel is blocking off people from posting their comments. How do I know? Because it's happened to me. I've listened to him for 6 years. Appreciated the truth and kicked to the curb his bullshit. Jones is now doing his money bomb. Does Max need a money bomb? I feel honored that he was threatened by me. That I am prevented from writing what I think on his channel. That he's afraid of me.
  • leeb got owned by peter schiff so hard a few years ago.  hes a clown and i cant listen to him without thinking of that

  • aggghh four fork sake......jezuzs... couldn't dat Norn Irish fella just fecking dig up dee gold at dee end o dat fuking rainbow..

    FFS silly gobshoit! :D

  • Far too many people have the idea that if you could only solve corruption and greed, it would solve the worlds problems, but corruption and greed is a natural part of this monetary system game, it cannot be stopped, it cannot even be controlled. There is only one hope for a better future and that's to change the actual game itself and end the monetary system. As Einstein says, madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

  • @peterjol - WE WANT JUSTICE - THEN BANKSTERS TODAY MIGHT THINK TWICE

  • Now THAT'S "Fools Gold" :D

  • Thanks Max and Stacey for continually educating, entertaining and evolving the consciousness of the viewing audience. You have game changing info and a superb way of presenting this complex material. I have learned so much and gained in true wealth due to the substantial depth of info covered on the Keiser Report.  Keep it up! To say "you rock" is an understatement.

  • can't you link all this fraud to the government... more so than the banks? I say down with government... let the fraudsters collapse... Without the government... none of these frauds would be able to gain so much, and would fail (or be killed)

  • Stephen Leeb is quite correctly reinforcing Richard Buckminster-Fuller's book Critical Path.

  • Max and Stacey are such 'experts' in the monetary system that not even they can see the worlds problems are way beyond being solved by monetary system 'fixes'.

  • @peterjol Max is an expert on exposing whats happening...not fixing it. I agree there is no fix, the game is rigged.

  • great ep as usual... :D

  • Blame the oil tycoons and global warming denialists for the lack of green sector jobs! There should have been solar manufacturers and wind generator companies starting up a fucking decade ago.

    Many people like me were brushed off. Assholes :/

  • Its all fun and games until people are willing to fight about it. Beware the wounded, flailing and threatened USA. Just think what kinda narratives the morons will buy into if America is on the ropes. Considering I'm expected, as an American, to actually respect mythical belief systems more than empirical truth, I have a bad feeling about any threats to the USA. Look at the current situation, its all a myth crafting contest, with both sides whistling past the graveyard.

  • Blame China for bad life in America! hahahahaaaaaa...

    I put my bet on the next to blame will be MARTIANS!!!

  • you guys rock.

    What bankster whore...

    will ever admit that they were bought off?

    Governments have the power to go after pimps and whores.

    When the gov doesn't...

    then the government is just another branch of the whorehouse.

    When the gov is dirty....move. Just move.

  • where's the Secret Service when you need them?

  • china wouldnt be anywhere if they didnt bootleg our IP's and our corps weren't there for cheap labor : /. this is what happens when you make jobs overseas and fleece your own country then they have the nerve to want to call themselves "patriots"

    im gonna start learning mandarin a.s.a.p

  • Stephen Leeb was one of these arguing against Peter Schiff.

  • @smasila Yeah, he got his financial ass kicked, too.

  • @autosleutel send en application for employment to Goldmann Sucks

  • The Holy Mountain was a movie where an alchemist turned feces into gold.

  • The question is " does any country WANT to win the currency war?" Or does every country want to lose it & make their's cheap? Where will all this pile of shit lead to?

  • the advancement & transfer of technology to China is exponential. within the next ten years cheap energy will be a cracked nut BY CHINA. Then china will have it all. gold, hi - technology & a monopoly of energy. they have to. no choice. or they die off. that's why they are racing ahead investing while US has gone mind shit wasting money robbing & killing third world countries, looting their own people etc. now it's too late. China already won the race. Ask Sorros. He knows it all.

  • Steve Leeb is spot on. That is why we need an infrastructure plan for the US to catch-up with China.  President Obama is either asleep or letting China win for the multinationals. We need a President that understands this, support Mike Ballantine 2102, the people's President.

  • I lost it @ gaddafi picture with two devils.

  • Yeah, China thinks and plans decades in advanced. While America thinks only 15 minutes into the future on a good day, Other times America is still figuring shit out from things they did a decade ago and still fucking failing at it. USA is completely delinquent and unfit to hold any position of power in this world, let alone hold status as superpower.

  • @jczg08alt haha hilarious...and true

  • @jczg08alt the people running this country HAVE been planning for the future. They planned 50 years ago to flush it down the toilet and thats what they did. Our only mistake is trusting deceitful, evil people.

  • @jczg08alt Well said. I couldn't agree more.

  • wat this means,money are worthless and gold will be only stuff worth anythink

  • When a bank scams a billion dollars from the people, and then pays 240 million dollars in 'fines' or 'compensation', and keep the rest. It no longer becomes an issue of ethics or legalities, but that fines are simply a cost of doing business and nothing more.

  • Well that 1.1 trillion of stolen money going to defence contractors, represents 3500.00 for every person in the US. Now also factor in what they gave to forgein banks, lol, wow were just throwing our money out the window.

    Goverment going to take a couple years off so we can catch up at some point in time.

  • Fecal IS already gold. ask any prostitute who accepts anal jobs.

  • Must have been playing "Holy Mountain" on Irish TV...

  • well i normally watch this over lunch but...

  • I despair because if the world doesn't 'get' the idea of having a moneyless Resource Based Economy and 'sharing' the worlds resources then ever increasing hardship and ever escalating wars for resources is the only future that can be expected. It's time to stop talking about 'fixing' the monetary system, that system cannot be fixed.

  • @peterjol You can say "Zeitgeist Movement' till you're blue in the face. It ain't ever gonna happen.

  • @UponInfinity well if the monetary system isn't done away with, then good luck to surviving to see your old age. 

  • @peterjol Well, the world begins a new monetary system every 40 years or so. The last time was 1971 when the U.S. closed the gold window, so we're about due for another one. One thing's for sure; "resource-based economy" won't be part of it.

  • @UponInfinity As I said ..good luck with surviving to see your old age then because the world has reached the limits of having a monetary system, consumerist, economic growth model on a finite planet. It can only continue by having ever increasing wars over the dwindling resources. People have no choice but to fight and kill for what they want when they can no longer 'buy' it. Sustainability isn't an option with a monetary system.

  • @peterjol There has always been a monetary system, there will always be a monetary system. Even in prison, cigarettes become money, even if you don't smoke, you'll accept them as payment, because you can trade them with others for things you want. People will still trade absent a monetary system. You can't stop it.

  • @UponInfinity Sadly, you seem to be too brainwashed by the system to believe there could be any other way to run society than with money....you need to free yourself and open your mind up to things you were not 'taught' to believe by this system ....instead of just dismissing them as being 'impossible'.

  • @peterjol Not at all, I've actually studied it at length and looked at it from many points of view. I do not consider myself brainwashed at all, but ask yourself this, what did 'money' replace? Barter. Two people have things the others wants, so they trade. Can you honestly tell me that somehow, everyone in your fantasy world everyone is going to absolutely "equal", if such a thing were even possible? Who decides who gets what?

  • @UponInfinity What have you 'studied' at length? it must only be the history of the monetary system.........because I can certainly tell you haven't 'studied' the Resource Based Economy idea at any length at all.

  • @peterjol you mean bartering?

  • @UponInfinity monetary system has been around for a few thousand years, humans have been around for tens of thousands of years, life on earth has been around for roughly one billion years. is the monetary system a product of nature and the universe?,,, will there always be a monetary system? go figure

  • @MrDzver Well, before gold, people used beads, weapons, cattle for money. So, they still traded, and they was still a relative exhange rate. People will trade for things, absent money. People will always want things, unless of course, the ZM plan is to strip people of personal possessions and any and all sense of individuality.

  • @UponInfinity All I'm saying is that in the history of life on our planet, money is an extremely rare occurrence, being such a short time in operation compared with the timeline of life, you can think of it still in prototype stages or as a social experiment lasting a few thousand years (incredibly short time). now take the miraculous chance of life occurring in the universe, if one miracle can be pulled off, why cant we also have the miracle of a utopia? just think about it. anythings possible.

  • Well, I would make the argument that the monetary system is a product of civilization. The alternative to trading was war, it was taking by force that which someone else has. That could be one organism feeding on another, which is still violence, or it could be one tribe attacking another tribe for food, shelter, women, etc, and taking those by force. Trade (barter) was invented as an alternative to war. Money replaced barter as it's convenient to use something everyone agrees has value.

  • @UponInfinity. Ahhh.. why is is that people think that war comes before trade. I think with humans, trade comes before war. Humans even traded with Neanderthals.

  • @peterjol lol utopia ideologies wind up killing those who don't comply.

  • @ReignbowSmite if you don't understand there is no such thing as utopia then it's no wonder it's hard for you to understand there could be anything else but this useless monetary system.

  • @peterjol There may be not such thing as utopia but there is a Dystopia....we are all living in it. We are all about to see old Rome burn (cirica 400). We are mocking history right now.....and history will not be mocked!

  • @peterjol Yes I do understand, Any ideology that requires everyones participation is a utopia ideology. It's communism without currency. Let me ask you when the last time communism worked out where people weren't murdered en masse?

    /watch?v=FEX1qyPLIJs

    You dont ever hear the top scholars and academics discussing it in a positive light, and most skeptics and rational thinkers dismiss it all together as ridiculous.

  • @peterjol if it's being promoted as the best way of life, it's an ideology. All it takes is justification of means and you have genocide.
