'On the Edge' with Max Keiser - What is the US strategic oil reserves?

With regards to Bilderburg. What makes the rich Elitist think that they can keep all of their wealth? Why can't the rest of the World take the wealth of the very small group of people, away from them and help the nations and people recover from their debts? This group of people has to be defenseless.

I'm sorry but both guys sound like Marxists. And who airs them? KGB run Russia-TV... banks aren't angels, but be careful who are you listening to.

First of all, what sounds "like Marxists" there?. Secondly, If you don't know yet, Russia is no more "KGB run". It's a capitalist oligarchy now. And finally, you're also wrong with Russia.

Guess again.

[bart12121314]

@TheMrSirCharles Their talk about "keynsian" interest in nominal GDP only whatever the cost. I have listened to the same propaganda in communistic Poland long enough. Although instead of "keynsian" they tended to say "imperialist".

Capitalist oligarchy in Russia is 100% based on ex-KGB members. The same goes for their mafia. They are the same people with the same - actually imperial - views about Russia in the world. They use Western-based intellectuals (i.e. Keiser) as their propaganda tubes.

You made three false assumptions in your short first post. Now you're coming with another theory.

Keynesian economics is a macroeconomic theory based on the ideas of 20th century English economist John Maynard Keynes.

If you did a little bit of a research you would find out how wrong you are.

Your guess is still not right. But let me make a guess now. You are living in the US?

[bart12121314]

@TheMrSirCharles At the moment I live in Poland. I'm an US citizen though. I don't understand why you invalidate my post. Yes, I understand who Keynes was. I read a lot of Hayek too. And Marx too. Read Marx, come back and tell me what you think.

@bart12121314 I'm in Poland too - we've been force fed the "highways are great, let's eat KFC" American propaganda just as much as we were fed the communist bullshit before. To see what's been done to my once beautiful home town since 1990 is just as heat wrenching as the crap the commies put up - between shithole Soviet housing estates and shithole strip malls & Tesco Hypermarkets.... I still feel colonized. Christ man, it's the same shit - we just got a a different asshole. It's still 1772...

[bart12121314]

@pacornerpolska To say that any town in Poland is worse off now than it was in 1990 is very dishonest. But that's even not the point. The point is that sometimes Keiser sounds a little bit too leftish with all his climate change, ecology and self-sustainability talk. That's what modern Marxists talk about too. Just an observation. I really don't care if you like communism more than capitalism. I just would like to name phenomenons accordingly. I.e. Keiser potential Marxist.

[pacornerpolska]

@bart12121314 My point was that left/right are essentially the same & that capitalism has brought its own set of ills that are just as bad as the communist ones. I am not trying to win an ideological battle, but clearly it went over your head. We need to move away from this left vs. right policy - it's asinine.

[bart12121314]

@pacornerpolska Well, that's what commies say too. No, communism is not the same as capitalism.
