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

[NervousNerdReview]

say anything negative towards government or even just asking questions gets you called/labeled CONSPIRACY THEORIST which basically is a nicer way of saying you're crazy.

Thats the reason nobody speaks up anymore they are scared to be called crazy by their peers

[DanUuNoel]

How can Levine miss the solution to this and countless other problems? If it was only in medicine that "we the people" have been lied to by the institutions that we have been taught to trust! But we are victims of all sorts of conspiracies.

Fortunately, one stands more evident than all the others. Anybody in high school can understand that the twin towers were demolished and that there was a conspiracy to hide it. Pull the rug under 9/11 and hell breaks lose...

Love,

[kensho3]

There are two ways of being unhappy: not getting what you want and getting what you want. ;-)

[turboredcart]

GREAT Guest!

[Libertarian555]

dear americans finish your fucking burger and get your fucking government back...and then order another burger...and a glass of fluorided water plz...

[ngonea]

@Libertarian555 - LOL

[Paolo7219]

Max put his finger EXACTLY on the problem: bankers make the banking regs. Ditto Pharma for their industry. Ditto for energy companies and energy policy. BTW: wanna take a guess who is behind the "environmentalist" movement opposed to building more oil refineries? If you guessed the energy companies, give yourself a GOLD star. More capacity helps keep oil/gas prices down. You didn't think those "environmentalists" actually wanted to save the Spotted Owl did you?

[joneselius]

Has anyone else read the book the only planet of choice? It explains quite clearly why this is happening.

People don't realize that at any time they want, this can all go away (and I'm not talking about suicide). All it takes is for others to agree with them, the problem we have is ORGANIZATION! We don't have any, no one wants to group together - as when they do, they're beaten up - but it's absolutely necessary, vital. People need security WITH freedom, not security OR freedom.

[tryptala]

This kind of Revolution typically requires a dynamic leader or set of dynamic leaders with the ability to rally the oppressed. Obama proved that a great percentage of the population is open to eloquent argument and real change. Too bad they got fooled this time around. The Obama voters must be going into depression because of it. It might make it harder now for the real deal, if he or she rises out of the fold. TPTB must really love the O man.

[ngonea]

@tryptala - I think this one will reguire the military, here their are a few retired generals that would be willing to clean house if enough ppl wake up and give the word.

[joneselius]

The devils number is 616, not 666.

[ObamasTheBeast]

@joneselius 616 is discounted generally

get with the flow

see my recent postings this is sweeping like a tsunami

get WITH IT FAST

[blaziermissy]

This will NOT be solved by a political party or a "new" up and coming politician. They are merely puppets to the system. Our economic systems in place are the problem...the root cause...and it's time to address the root cause if you want REAL solutions.

For the world we ALL deserve.

400,000 members in 200 countries, and the movement is about 10 months old.

It's our responsibility to organize for the SOLUTIONS otherwise we're simply fueling the fire.

[tryptala]

Yeah, I know. Paul is a Republican and not a whole lot like Nader. Life has it's little ironies.

[tryptala]

Huffington has a good pro-active idea in helping people to get their money out of the "too big to fail" banks and into local banks with good track records. Check out her huffingtonpost website.

"Should have voted for Nader"? I voted for Nader, just like I did the time before, and the time before, thank you very much. Wake up America. The Republicrats are NEVER going to fix things. If Ron Paul can get the ticket, then it's Ron Paul in 2012! Make it happen! Pro-Active! ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE

[shroomduke]

@tryptala It's ironic that the first thing you learn in Investing is "Diversification" yet our government is allowing Monopolies to gobble up all the competetion, they want us to put all our eggs in one basket then they say "We never saw it comming" they are liars!

Corporations are the antithisis of Democracy!

Monopolies destroy diversity, opportunity, and ingenuity!

[tryptala]

Well said!

[trinomialtree]

this is an excellent interview. right on about the series of industrial complexes and vested interests.

"look... all you need to know that you're just along for the ride. its a big boat, why rock it?"

[joneselius]

A big boat headed into an iceberg, maybe.

If we rock it enough, maybe it'll miss the iceberg. ^^_

[trinomialtree]

it won't. we'll steer it straight into the iceberg, just for fun :)

[MrBigwong]

Ban all pharmaceutical TV advertising like they do in the rest of the civilized world.

[Motoicon]

This guy has to be the fastest talking , most understandable man on earth...lol

f the feds!!

[UKSecretCourts]

Vote for independents, libertarians, and cut out the main parties as a protest vote.

The sooner independents get back control, the sooner this Fascism can be broken.

[equsnarnd]

@UKSecretCourts Yes! And we really need to get rid of the professional political class and go back to citizen legislators.

[marniespeaks]

we need some very strong and honest leaders or find a new country

[egedz229]

i want my labotomy!

I have two parents who can't handle their beer so I decided not to go that way.

I do admit that I was suicidally depressed for a couple years but once I got out of the Army I was fine. I thought I had some serious mental issues but it turned out that I just have a problem with being ordered around by idiots all day.

[GoldenBoughTrader]

@vention4wh

I think Dr. Levine alluded to that. The psychological industrial complex is far more inclined to tell the patient that the problem lies with THEM rather than go along with the idea that there is anything wrong and/or dysfunctional with society. In fact doctors are loathe to criticise society at all. The patient therefore suffers from severe cognitive dissonance, and as we all know the standard method for treating those symptoms is to overprescribe antidepressants drugs, e.g. SSRIs.

[MrBigwong]

This is exactly why Bush's Medicare pharmaceutical bill was such a bad idea. On the surface, it's like "Hey, look, we're helping out sick people." But if you really look below the surface, it's, "Hey, we're making BigPharma rich by giving them even more taxpayer money to treat you for diseases you don't really have with drugs that don't really solve the problem (if you actually had a problem)."

[joneselius]

@GoldenBoughTrader

Few people can surrender their belief that society must make sense, the fact that the state has lost it's mind is intolerable and thus the evidence is denied.

[tryptala]

Lost its moral compass, yes. Lost its understanding of the foundations, yes. Lost its mind, though, I'm not sure of. That depends on what "mind" you determine is running the state. Acknowledging that the mind that's running the state is criminal may be the hardest part, like Dr. Levine says, leading to a populous political catatonia. It's a good theory.

[joneselius]

When I say the state has lost its' mind, I mean the people who are in the society.

It was meant to read the fact that the society, not state. I apologize for that, it was my fault.

[LunkwillFook]

Great Show, Max !

Very interesting guest, you should bring him again to the edge.

Thank you and Stacy so much for your work.

[reginald58]

It's the same in canada, look at rick simson, on the use of hemp, check youtube [ the run from the cure] this should open many peoples eyes, the medicial industriy dosen't want a cure !!! the offer treatment.

[PlatinumGordon]

Same in Australia - no profit - not allowed

[Dean0000007]

@PlatinumGordon If all profit goes to execs, then that's bad for the economy. No one likes losing money, however this extravagant living by the elite is unsustainable.

[tenagliac]

Ancient Rome used bread and circuses. But that doesn't last forever.

[lindabebe835]

These guys are so right on!!!

[lindabebe835]

Drugs dulls your consciousness. Their was a plan from years ago to demoralize this country and put it's people to sleep.

[ruleof3]

Fact. We the people are getting beat down on all sides. Wars, Economics, Health Care, Phara, whatever, you name it. The people need to take their shit back. We are getting fucked over and out and need to do something. Or we end up the people that laid down and went to fuckin sleep.

[Dubwise78]

"belly button lint smoking"- the sign of a broken society, lol. pass the J. But seriously, I heard theres a syndrome for shy kids now, people need to wake up and get mad.

[greenb1a]

Great point, thanks Max and Dr. Levin. This is a treat for the new year.

[RenegadeTimes]

Drug em ...make em passive.

control is easy then ~

[epilogas]

Great issue.

[vention4wh]

Important info and there's an increasing resistance to over medication in the public. It's slow to build because the media is owned by them of course but the word is getting out.
