to do support for a possible american military involvement. and ask him gresham hearings on the radicalization of america's muslims prepared to start in the u.s. there are fears that it's a little more than a religious which critics worry that people are being singled out of based solely on their face. and next it's the kaiser report with max and stacy herbert heading to egypt to assess the week's big financial stories to stay with us. i'm max kaiser and this is the kaiser report once again coming to you from cairo egypt the global insurrection against banker occupation continues multifaceted conflict between oligarchs and bankers versus the people in cities from cairo to ohio and of course over
3:32 am
a skyrocketing because that's the currency of the revolution that's over prices go higher j.p. morgan stock goes lower and then tire franchise is threatened with extinction as the price of silver crushes the silver shorts because of you buying silver out there in the millions and millions of ounces one ounce at a time let's bring in stacy herbert stacey stacey stacey another thing driving silver higher of course max is a day of rage happening in saudi arabia continuing revolution in egypt we were here for tahrir square we went through there and just so you can see from these images that it was a very friendly festive atmosphere felt very safe we were only one of the two westerners in the square well it's again the narrative is completely busted in what we're told through western media principly murdoch and fox news that there is an anti-american sentiment here which has been absolutely is not there is a desire to be free from the yoke of tyranny and that's the same whether it's in
3:33 am
wisconsin or cairo you've got corrupt bankers who are destroying the global economy and people want to get out well you mentioned tyranny and you know the financial system is we're linking all these revolutions across the arab world revolutions in wisconsin to the banking system i went to take a look at this interview from bloomberg television the past week and this is larry thing has blackrock it's a three point five trillion dollar fund and look what he thinks about what's going on through. the arab world i want to ask you about the big picture question to start off with if you look around the world what we see right google wave of social unrest democratization of information that played a big role in twitter facebook one hundred dollar oil the deepening deficit speech movie despite public employee unions and balances currency issues lingering crisis in europe what is it all adds up to confusion. uncertainty markets don't like
3:34 am
uncertainty markets like actually to call it period governments where you have a understanding of what's out there and obviously we're the whole dimension to change you know with as you said at the marketisation of the countries and then democracies are very messy as we know in the united states you have opinions changing back and forth there's larry think he's a black rock which of course is a subsidized entity by the u.s. government the u.s. taxpayer bailed out all the players of blackrock and their yacht payments they're not competitive in the sense they work for a living they just steal their larcenous take their time and he's just plowing people over with impunity because he knows they know they own all the judges they own the legal system and he can just beat rape and kill people in public without any recourse whatsoever from any legal entity whatsoever and that's a that's a club talk or see and it's the same in america as it isn't the same as cairo the same in wisconsin everyone needs to revolt against guys like larry thank larry thank you one hundred years ago would be marching toward the plastic concorde on
3:35 am
his way to the scene and rightfully so but this is the sort of mentality max that we're seeing through out there why we're there trying to squash these revolutions they don't want people to be free because they prefer the talents hairiness and so to americans who think they are free these are the same guys that control your economy today do you think they really are allowing you to be democratic and free i think not the key phrase is there he says americans prefer to tell terry ms he says the markets prefer to talents hairiness i'm in america claims it's a market economy when the. man refer to markets this is what they're referring to not free markets as the theory goes and that's what's great about the price of silver is that it has been monopolized by people who have been manipulating the price of the futures markets of all the comics and the reason it's going higher now is because people are breaking free from the chains of the larry franks style totalitarian monopolisation and it will go to three hundred forty or five hundred dollars and these guys like larry frankel go out of business so let's look at
3:36 am
another headline showing that bankers prefer dictatorships revealed the layers secret calls to khadafi it turns out that tony blair has always said he never had any commercial relationship with anyone in the gadhafi family or the libyan government but since leaving office he is understood to have traveled to tripoli on business for the u.s. bank j.p. morgan chase where he lives tony blair of course lies to lead up to the iraq war they cooked up the intelligence colin powell should a little vial of talcum powder and said you've got to go kill a million iraqis blair was part of that he's got blood on this and he's part of the kleptocracy that j.p. morgan killed people for money for blood and he and larry fink are in the same kind of corrupt boat ok and he works for j.p. morgan chase this the day he got out of office at ten downing street he jumped into j.p. morgan chase they hired him for two million dollars per year who was going which came first the chicken or the egg was blair working for j.p. morgan before he left and after he left ten downing street and that question
3:37 am
applies to barack obama is he working for j.p. morgan now or is he going to take his job when he leaves the white house and he doesn't want to stay for a second term because he'd rather jump right in there and work with j.p. morgan tony blair cash out the white house just to resume burnishing actual size for obama he's working for j.p. morgan right now scott walker wisconsin governor he's working for the koch brothers right now he's a time right now they're working right now with the enemy they're selling the people out all over the world and this is intolerable and the people in cairo have to go to have to stand up. people with confidence illinois are still so you know wondering should we do a larry fink says to live in a concentration camp or larry fink to live in a reservation for larry fink they don't know what the problem so speaking of tony blair i have a headline here with tony blair kind of guy somebody who would fit in writing cannot square where all the other arms dealers in mass murders of the world live and hide their wealth from their own nations the man who plowed into a group of bikers is
3:38 am
a brazilian central banker and he's charged with attempted murder so you see this video here max this is a critical mass demonstration in porto alegre brazil and i see that car barreling through the population of bicyclists there knocking over eight or nine of them well that's a central banker me and richard nice. again just plowing people over with impunity and other banker terrorism you know the the the search for the terrorism should be a simple one go down to wall street to the offices of goldman morgan go to the city of london in london and start arresting people the fact that you don't barack obama the rest of you guys means that you are terrorists effectively you support terrorism you're stealing all the money you're asking people who live with austerity measures to pay for your bonuses how is it different poll pot or stalin or hitler is not just the same for a good thing but this man is in psychiatric care and that qualifies him to be a money manager well yes and it his excuse was i'm in a hurry yes he's in
3:39 am
a hurry to defraud people that's why the people in the streets well let's move on because these guys days are numbered as silver continues to go higher they don't have any silver the central bankers don't own any gold they don't own any silver they're going to be buying a three four or five dollars an ounce where they can be buying it from us because we would we're going to be ruling the global economy will have all the silver they're going to be trying to live on currency and buying a loaf of bread for five trillion dollars which was the exchange rate during the why more republic if you remember. for one from one to one to five trillion to one and this is where we're headed because these guys are essentially pathological liars and crooks well speaking of pathological liars and crooks state security apparatus here in egypt there are five hundred thousand policeman who operated on behalf of mubarak and his cronies and american cronies plundering. defrauding and torturing the population here's a tweet from wiki leaks nasty day in egypt storm secret service so we've been here
3:40 am
while they've been storming the state security buildings and headquarters throughout cairo and alexandria and other locations the state security apparatus has been busy shredding paper trying to hide the evidence and it looks very similar to scenes post world war two nazi germany they also try to hide all their evidence of of crimes against humanity and you see that going on now in egypt or iran exactly that's exactly those are my thoughts exactly max i mean it's clears it's a work in blair estimated war crimes in a number of different levels and murdoch is a little stepchild as has been assisting him when he survives the last twenty five billion dollars wall street journal investment lost billions of his my space investment it wasn't for a guarantee today when i. was a thing where barack murdoch would be selling hot dogs shea stadium well you mentioned the koch brothers involvement with governor scott walker of wisconsin
3:41 am
anonymous actively probing koch brothers corporate networks so in a statement anonymous accuses the koch brothers of fabricating grassroots organizations and advertising campaigns to sway voters based on their false hoods the statement concludes anonymous hears the voice of the downtrodden american people whose rights and liberties are being systematically removed one by one even when their own government refuses to listen or worse is complicit in these attacks well don imus is filling in for the rule of law which is absent in america well exactly so they have. same ability in the virtual space to do what the egyptians are now doing storming the state security buildings and headquarters and having to get the physical pieces of paper and videotapes of movie stars apparently and powerful people from the gulf and other reasons they have video tapes of them in compromising positions and so now anonymous can do this via just virtually go into database and servers the amazing part of this global insurrection against banker
3:42 am
occupation is the multiplicity of levels or occupies simultaneously up a virtual level the analog physical level the people on the streets who get anonymous working anonymously in cyberspace or go to groups like. in other cities around the world pushing back against the occupation of bankers it's all working dovetailing together and this is the wars we've been talking about for years now the ultimate distinction the dividing line in this war is savers versus speculators and i'm going to get into that right now but keep in mind for future shows just continue please. max i have this headline this is a revolution not a football match and max this is referring to the protests square and in china they banned all google searches for egypt or tyrus square and yet however within days they were making all of these. available interest square all the various knick
3:43 am
knacks for sale this is showing christian and muslim together united yeah well it's a dangerous game china is playing they're trying to cash revolutions in egypt while simultaneously oppressing their own people bad sounds like an unsustainable arbitrage of bad faith over there in china you might want to decide what side you want to be or a bit and squeeze in the middle and forever hold your bag won't you but you also have to ask why the egyptians weren't just making them and themselves why they weren't making these t. shirts and freedom pendants and flags and all the stuff that were available in tahrir square when we were there why they were making themselves why they were bringing them in from china because a counterfeit by the chinese or everyone after all over the world making business everywhere but supporting human rights abuses and all and this is the model that of course america wants to emulate they want the casino goal as well as we see in china and they don't want freedom as we see in cairo in trying to straddle the two and the people are now going to decide which way they want to go and i think
3:44 am
judging by my interactions with folks here in cairo the mood right now is to go toward open free democratic kind of almost like a summer of love type i think it's all getting jiggy right here in cairo so you see her thanks so much for being on because the reports thank you max don't go away going away much more so say their. discoveries. communicate with. the still sounds and becomes very. nature can give you only see. grief for the we've got. the biggest issues get
3:45 am
a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back to the kaiser report joining me now in the studio lena lane is managing editor of master a.o.l. europe english by saying that correctly that's right welcome to the kaiser report thank you alright lena tell us about the january twenty fifth revolution here in cairo what ignited the revolution i do not like to name certain events in the vicinity of generally twenty fifth to say that this is so to me what ignited it because i think the lead up to january twenty fifth goes back to as far as the thirty two thousand was a serious of protest thought it takes a move by a lot of things both under regional event and the domestic level so we've got the
3:46 am
two thousand and three. we were demonstrations we've got to two thousand and five first domestic demonstrations that go out to the street and say down with mubarak and then you've got a lot of independent things happening such as the neighbor protests you've got also movements such as the judges and then in movement and then generally twenty fifth happens there could be things that's part of the massive outbreak of. protests and you know modernization on january twenty fifth such as inspiration was the can you share a fusion which is next door such as increasing. awareness about. ok so that the pot was stirring was boiling for a year exactly plus the awareness of the police. you mention this word awareness and of course what was happening in sydney is here was ticked off
3:47 am
a large extent the revelations that were made these are the wiki leaks were you aware of those wiki leaks revelations and is that part of the equation yeah i mean we're all aware of them by future of being journalists and they. took a lot of our attention although they were in a matter of a lot of public attention to be honest with you they were great serious journalists but they didn't have much to be heeded in terms of things that they didn't know they where they acted more as corroborative evidence things that you already knew in egypt of course journalism journalists were not free just before this revolution so anybody who hears something coming from a journalist and i have to assume it's coming from the state so there's not wide dissemination of this information whereas wiki leaks is independent source they seem to they're verified so it helps you to get your message out because you had a third party verification more or less with this huge internet audience is that
3:48 am
a fair kind of a fair statement to make about wiki leaks yes it's just what's disputed or what's consistent is the take this had on people because at this point you know you don't need anymore and to wait for the state to give you the information the practice speaks for itself on this the her let's go back to the president's events that happened the april sixth youth movement. who are they how do they harness the power to organize themselves tell us about that because that seems to be a key event in the history of this definitely april sixth is a group that is predominantly. led and run by young people young activists people who've been involved in again in state politics even before two thousand and eight however in two thousand and eight they mean in the sixth of april of two thousand and eight they made a call for civil disobedience and that was because. in solidarity with thriving labor movement in in the days the city of. which happened to hosts one of the
3:49 am
biggest weaving factories in the country and which happened to be a side labor activism for years and for their kids in fact. six movement launched a call. for civil disobedience and a facebook group happen to draw a lot of attention from different people now not all those who signed on the group saying that they will you know be striking on the back in two thousand and eight did they do it however the car. made some resonance in terms of you know calling people out of the empathy and and making them feel that there is a possibility for an alternative reality what about the role of women overall in this in this revolution the same zome on the streets or a cairo many women i'd say almost half of the people on the street are women a lot of families during the square friday gathering it's almost
3:50 am
a carnival like festive family outing people are there to celebrate already the anniversary of their labor liberation and so the role of women in the revolution out of what how do you see that well i think the role of women transcends that of festivities on fridays. i think women had a very central role in this revolution since its very early days even in its most difficult days they were out on the streets on the square but in other areas in egypt where very active in this trade mission they were side by side with the men in hating tear gas and you know being out there under the producer that in the first these of their mission but also. supporting the continuity the continuation of this revolution by sleeping out on the square by sometimes compromising their security just as the men did. although i think the sense of funding ability was
3:51 am
higher amongst women however they compromised all that and where on the street since day one. hundred missions so it was quite inspiring a lot of people say that actually women started this revolution but what's wrong with that state again and i don't i can't point to one group of people anyways regardless of the gender or religion or or whatever and say they started so there would be i mean a bunch of young people started this revolution this was all to do this that this. carries so i would say that ok in the past few days we've seen protesters storming the state security buildings tell us about this what was the role of state security in the mubarak dictatorship of course as an american were aware of this as the destination for the extraordinary rendition flights that killed wants on obey and out of the streets of america they end up in these torture cells in these areas
3:52 am
tell us about what these are in these and what's going on there yeah yeah exactly it's a conversion of something that. a western democracy cannot and so it is they are. off to a church so the us outsources their torture to decide exactly and there's a few of them in egypt there's one right here in cairo yeah there are two big ones in cairo but you know plenty of you tend to stay thank you to centers around the country throughout the country so the americans say we don't torture they mean we outsource our torture the same way as they say they outsource their manufacturing to china at the source or torture to egypt yeah tony blair and the rest of the gang seems to really be exposed in this revolution especially in libya as being one of the architects of some of these war crimes yeah now we've been looking at footage of protesters gathering all the evidence all the paperwork looking at the stuff you found anything juicy any evidence of anything. i don't think that documents that
3:53 am
were found yesterday was there yesterday and i think that history found yesterday were particularly revealing and as much as they aware person of activists of journalists. but it's another we can fix moment whereby you know all of this stuff but you now have a corroborative evidence that people have files for every single person they have very long transcriptions of phone conversations between activists so it makes you feel like they had a lot of resources and a lot of money. and that they lived over the lot of fear in order to waste all the time you know transcribing one hour long phone conversations between activists that say it's really nothing if it was anything it has is the frigidity of it was just like when the berlin wall came down and they went into the stasi and they found all the files and this is a state this is america egyptian stasi basically and of course america is doing the same thing in the u.s. now with the american citizens which is which is that ok let's let's touch on the
3:54 am
mubarak here for a second is billions of dollars any idea where they are is there any hope of getting them back but i wish i knew where they are. would have been the best journalists in this country but as of now i can tell you that there is a vested interest. to pursue a proper and proper court case in order to investigate potential corruption of the ruling family and we hope that the cash comes back and there is a redistribution of wealth at some point but it's quite unclear at this point how long this process will be in how easy it would be given the extensive. network of power that this president has for over thirty years now finally the mainstream us media paints the revolution in egypt as one of radical islam assists and anti-american fervor now i've been in the streets there for several days and i've
3:55 am
experienced exact opposite people i call you from america i love i love america i mean it seems first of all. i guess my first question is don't people the streets realize that loving america maybe is not a great idea considering that america propped up mubarak i mean did they make the connection there i don't think there was much worrying about. american it wasn't about. american sentiment at this point it was about a very curious domestic condition and the people had a collective the you know about changing whether the american media cannot step up to how progressive this revolution was in portraying it then it becomes a problem but this is a very progressive revolution i can assure you well i remember one of the first barack obama made when he became president was he made a grand speech here in cairo promised a lot of things and then got all those promises but obama is he still held with some steam here or people kind of now figured out that he is just a banker puppet when i think. it's recent the recent poll this
3:56 am
is. which were basically lining up was the. more not particularly received was a lot of acceptance from people here but at this point people again are making their own reality in are forcing the u.s. administration to respond that way to be so i don't think it matters anymore. what obama's policy is he really needs to react to what's happening here i guess the ball is in his court at this point that's the thing is that he's reacting he's behind the curve he seems lost and unfortunately he doesn't seem to have any vision or idea of what might be a good future for this country in this region side of the interest of his bankers to try to keep him in his office you know he's kind of their pet but now going forward. a year from now or two years from now what's your best case
3:57 am
scenario for cairo egypt a change in the logic of the constitution what i mean by changing the logic changing the political culture. it has been extreme. as of one thousand fifty two military coups in this country and what this practically means. removing all the power concentration in the figure of the president and recreating. governance in the form of three powers that are completely separate from each other executive it just sounds familiar yeah sure sounds idea it is when but it's quite possible at this point that it's possible as long as you don't let special interest come in and destroy the delicate checks and balances and balance of power ok alina that's going to do it thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert and i was like my guest is going to send me an email please just our
