joined below to the home of the gateway to the grand imperial truly a torturously. you can close with your good to see don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was so to treat. you with all the live from moscow headlines now the libyan rebels rapid advance towards the capital is halted as they're pushed further back from the outskirts of town there are reports heavy bombardment by pro-government forces despite declaring a cease fire. for an heavyweights in london thrashing out libya's political future key figures in the group say they'll keep up the pressure on gadhafi until he complies with the u.n. security council's resolution and provide humanitarian assistance to the. side of

russia remembers the thirty eight victims of the moscow metro blasts about a year ago today. two suicide bombers blew themselves up the morning rush hour president and says all the suspects behind the crimes to find and most have been in the. title of my colleagues will be here half an hour's time but for now max keiser explains just how much the u.s. military operation in libya will cost and whether or not america can afford to foot the bill what are you watching r.t. . guys are welcome to the kaiser report listen to the. these are so over cars are. the. are now available and being

available to training all over the world that's right people are joining the silver liberation army and they are. financing the global insurrection with is. yes. let's bring in stacy herbert next kaiser there's a war on and in that case you can never have enough arms as a t.v. presenter to try to close over cars or course over cars or here's a little video i want you to see gets us in the mood for this broadcast here as a libyan t.v. presenter oh yeah. joe has. any time away as he sees us ranting about protecting the homeland and all this. but of course is being presented as a man who is being pretty crazy but is it any crazier then the country doing the

bombing because the headline reads us spending on military operations in libya drains pentagon and us military operations in libya will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and force congress to seek help next week for the cash strapped pentagon which is operating on short term funding resolution so remember the financial crisis where the banks were operating on short term funding as well and that's what led to the whole collapse of the banking system are we about to witness the collapse of the whole military industrial complex i mean look there that ceiling in the us is being raised again it's at fourteen and fifteen trillion that's doesn't include the words that they do off the balance sheet like super enron you know afghanistan and iraq were just in place are invading libya ok that's all off the bell and they don't actually include it on the official balance sheet so america actually has not just fifteen trillion dollars and that well fortified. trillion

and then add in fannie mae that's fifty trillion then you add in social security medicaid that comes up to about one hundred trillion dollars in debt and they just think that by printing more money they're going to be able to survive this catastrophe this royce over is going to fly. but they do make you know in this article that none of the war findings for afghanistan or iraq are put on the defense budget these are all supplemental funding and it's out of temporary short term funding resolutions but carl levin a senator from michigan chairman of the senate armed services committee he said wednesday that he had asked the defense department for an accurate estimate of the cost of the mission in libya since the ballpark numbers being circulated including one of nearly one billion seems too high so he's only reading in the newspapers what the war is going to cost and libya he's the head of the senate committee where of course and barack obama should have gone to seek authorization for a bombing and i think america doesn't need to get authorization to start

a war more apparent obama doesn't need to get congress to sign off on invading people and committing mass murder no more it's all good there's all this is the ball team wins in the final four well that's about the craziness of it the libyan t.v. presenter he might look crazy but so does the u.s. going to war while their president i don't like that i don't like. it but speaking of wars there is a war in the monetary world and that is silver and gold versus the u.s. dollar and all the other forgot currencies so you know you take a look at the silver chart here and it's of course taking up arms heading straight up. i mean that's really attractive max but you know who is taking up arms against who is silver taking up arms against but this next headline max special report the revolution in central banking on a warm lisbon day last may john clarke tree shade the high school president of the

european central bank was asked whether the bank would consider buying euro zone government bonds and open market he said at the time i would say we did not discuss this option well four days later the e.c.b. announced that it would start buying bonds so just as lunatic as all these wars being declared. on a weekend when nobody else is congress isn't sitting nobody knows any war is being declared the same craziness has gone on with the central banks they have a revolution in central banking. well i don't know who saw the news let me just break out of the thing here did you see what the going on with the bank of japan on that front and now they're going out it is saying that bank of japan said that they're just going to start to issue bonds essentially and float money directly from the we talked about the last episode yeah so this is just another continuation of central banks going crazy and taking the law into their own hands and deciding just to print a funny fee out money without any authorization as you point out barack obama can

simply invade a country with no authorization central banks are using the same model here just saying oh we can just print trillions of dollars of trillions of euro's or drawings and yet we don't need anyone authorisation we don't need any collateral we don't need any accounting we don't need any oversight we don't need anything in the central bank other than the toxic waste that we inherited during the last one it's a crisis why because we use mathematical formulas that some pimply faced fifteen year old kid of mit says makes this trillion dollars of the rifles garbage worth something other than worthless garbage just what is worthless garbage and that's why silver is going to partner so you're all for it in delusional the article points out by reaching for its nuclear option. the e.c.b. also helped rewrite the manual modern central banking calling it a revolution but i would say that in fact it's skip the revolution part and just gone straight to the reign of terror these are what central banks are doing it's a reign of terror that they are raining down upon us well they think they can reinvent the entire idea of economics from scratch because they're deeply in debt

and they are really interpret ing the fact that they're in debt and they're calling it something else it's delusional it's the stockholm syndrome. it's highly illegal according to any dictates that would cover counterfeiting what these banks are doing these central banks are doing are counterfeiting their counterfeiting why they're trillions and trillions and they're doing it electronically well then the article finally wraps up since the early days of the financial crisis in two thousand and eight the european central bank the u.s. federal reserve and the bank of england have all been forced to adopt policies it's kind of like a human shield thing where just human shields through this whole crazy monetary and fiscal disaster and economic disasters around the world but just a few years ago they would have dismissed as preposterous oh right exactly they just term force as if somebody is put out a gun to their head and saying we you must commit fraud on behalf of everyone who

supposedly you're protecting over there at the central bank and that's false of course they're not being forced by anyone to commit fraud they're doing so for one simple reason they're making a boatload of money doing it because they're essentially pirates of the digital age these are the pirates of the digital caribbean age you get your name entry and bank of japan we're just out there stealing they're just out there and mystically pilfering without any recourse whatsoever and that's why solvers go into five hundred that i say that yes well yes you have but this is also true in the way that the norman bates. syndrom is just says the u.s. is fighting itself elite it's fighting itself in afghanistan it's fighting itself in iraq all of the enemies there that they themselves created the central bank is fighting itself it's forced to fight itself so it's a battle with its own consequences of its own actions well that's the definition of

quantitative easing is actually eating your own definition of the central bank stuff and keep it out and then they swallow those bonds back that's what quantitative easing is quantitative deprecation swallowing notion of a preposterous chavez says capitalism may have ended life on mars this is venezuelan president hugo chavez he was speaking last week and he said i've always said heard that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on mars but maybe capitalism arrived there imperialism arrived and finished off the planet so be careful he continued here on planet earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests now there are deserts where there were rivers there are deserts he said sipping a glass of water well yeah i mean i think he's making kind of an interesting insight there in terms of capital isn't being unsustainable and you certainly see it in the fukuyama. meltdown in japan that's a direct result of capitalism gone crazy it's gone no longer has any self-serving

purposes it's just using humans as the product of a. mission to make profits out of dead people and you see this happening in all over the world so he has a point there but you can't criticize the u.s. for being capitalist because it's not a socialist it's a bunch of banks and corporations huge welfare bailouts from a corrupt federal reserve bank that's not capitalism that's socialism but i don't think it's socialism i don't think it's capitalism those are just isms they're just like a religious text or whatever it's the crazy mad men who have hijacked it they don't realize there's no room bates here we talked about the european central bank the u.s. federal reserve and the bank of england fighting themselves they're for. to fight this demon of this crazy markets collapsing that they themselves caused the norman bates and you remember norman bates on the side go we saw a reflection in the mirror and couldn't understand that he himself was attacking and doing all the violence that's exactly right you've got all these central bankers looking at themselves in the mirror printing trillions of dollars and

wondering why the economies are exploding and going bad well it was actually don't want bases mother. those are the particulars but i remember the title of the film psycho and i think that's a good description of who's running the show we are a bunch of psychos life on mars may have ended apparently due to these psychos and this takes me to the next headline of might not be so preposterous maybe they're perhaps listening to hugo chavez sales of lux doomsday bunkers up one thousand percent or parenting is a big market in the us are you going to be into my looks. and that's that's the ninety five i'm going to cover those that work so there's two different things you could buy your own exclusive one in those cost up to twenty million dollars so northwest shelter systems which offer shelters ranging in price range from two hundred thousand to twenty million they've seen their sales surge by seventy percent on the uprisings in the middle east and then there's this other company you

see that in the photo this is one of their renderings of what one of their places look like they sell rooms in two hundred person doomsday bunkers and they've received thousands of applications since that uprisings and the earthquake and tsunami in japan and you have to deposit five thousand dollars and then pay up to tens of thousands more to actually secure a place in these bunkers so the timeshares in doomsday bunkers and of course the people who buy these doomsday bunkers for twenty million dollars say you see capitalism works i was able to buy doomsday bunker forget about the fact that your actions created a doomsday to begin with why did. does your psycho why because you are but your imagination is the sound of your own one hand clapping against yourself because basically inherently when you look down underneath the. great epidural. strata of the varicose veins even in operability of your consciousness on any one lane that

would it here to anything you can scoot as normal your pathologically ill ben bernanke the lloyd blankfein ben bernanke. psychologically ill brain damage treated by a straight jacket carted off to jail medicated heavily all right thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you mack and that's going to do it stay right there because there's much more coming your way.

i. the only. bugger maggie the kaiser report time out of turn blew me ese assistant professor of modern middle east and islamic world history at georgia state university and he's the author of chaos in yemen societal collapse and the new tarion ism isa welcome to the kaiser report great to be here all right it's a little while all eyes are on libya what is happening any yemen and why is it happening in yemen the situation in yemen is a direct response. on growing. power grabbing realigning over our our alliances. are the response to what's going on in the south of yemen the traditional struggle between northern and southern southern yemenis but also the consequence of since the year two thousand saudi arabia and you know

new dream into police jointly their frontier sure frontier which just caused considerable destruction from both sides traditionally has or has remained open and you were able to travel back and forth with sports and now suddenly and since two thousand. very expensive project over three billion dollars. as of now is to police the ports of the extent where we stop the trade and stop the movement. or are least regular it's uncertain and i just disrupt it trickles lives and people on to do stunts instructions and challenges. this is actually it suits the machine for a while because you can solve this disruption is police actions that yes to take an argument source sovereignty of yemen and. saudi arabia from the invasion of of yemenis trying to enter into saudi territory and sell this to

his partners both in saudi arabia and united states all right so this give us some geography here where is this wall and where is it who did a separate exactly if you were to look at a map of southwest the radio you'll see that saudi arabia and yemen share obviously a very long border because the border stems from the inwards and this is an area that was captured by saudi written in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. but they are under agreements with the people who live on both side of this border they really didn't enforce the border so people on both sides were able to travel back and forth so if you look at this scenario called national a city or the region these people are historically yemeni and as this as the saudi kingdom expanded territory to conquer mecca medina jeddah and then further south here in this region called. because they were

a had no means of actually physically. intimidating and conquering extrusion they a sickly left the door wide open for to look to conduct their day to day lives i can foresee the border didn't really exist unfortunately with the world transforming as it has in the last fifteen years elise in quarters ironically enough while europe is supposedly tearing down borders other parts of the world are encouraged to build a census and police there their borders and causes a considerable economic social cultural disruptions in places like syria and so again. people whose lives were. disrupted by this. often very brutal process of loosing his front juices loads to a reaction from people who are well armed who are still dignified enough to stand up to during. a salute to chasten young people or doctor taking

a crowd from dictators and from people who sit in faraway places and starts to play these kind of show games. with the force united kingdom of saudi arabia to. use yemen kind of launching perth for all kinds of. juice you calculations which of course have direct impact on the people on the ground who have just how now for they are let's talk about the comparison to the one nine hundred eighty nine and for the fall of now i think looking back with a lot of historians are coming to the conclusion that the soviet union effectively economically was spent and of course now in the case of yemen thirty or abia you could say that about saudi arabia and you can't economy that spent as a matter of fact it's a very strong economy that's a petro. petro whatever you would like to call it a pet congressi or something of that order it's got huge oil reserves so they're

very well funded so that's that dynamic is missing and the so the yemenis in their quest to push back against this this occupation i guess you could call it are fighting and they're up against a very well funded photo in this sense so talk to me about the chances of this going forward what are we going to see in the next year or two is yemen going to succeed as we've seen i think we could say that what we've seen in tunisia is a success you know we're going to have to wait and see how it out all works out but is that going to be the story for yemen near a year from now i'm afraid not so actually i would. be a little bit more cautious. and characterizing any of us. who leaves the last for the last four months as a success cases certainly we have the figureheads removed but have you actually had the infrastructure of our present regime sunday oligarchies you run two societies actually been in the last of us an open questions though i think people in places

like tunisia and egypt are still willing to go and hit the streets when necessary. and you. know it doesn't take much to intimidate percentage of those people who have been on the streets so far and yet it is a different case you go people are very desperate and also just saudi arabia is also not immune from social unrest the money is not just to be fairly and there is a lot of regionalism in saudi arabia case in point was this area around on the border with yemen people have been. are demanding enough of course not only payments and this kind of cost around to your state system where oil money trickles down to everybody and everyone just sits and was. like the u.s. model i guess working on satin stupid and don't do anything. that they actually want some kind of participation and have

a direct place in the decisions made in their societies because they see their societies are falling apart i meant it will in one year two years i don't see things changing the americans and the saudis just will not countenance the transformation of yemen in the way that they had in the us you know many early ninety's the same two tutor who says now chief ally the united states played a hand where he was and how i was saying when they invaded kuwait and he was severely punished by that yemen was a million and a house people were thrown out of their jobs in the gulf and in saudi arabia and thrown back to yemen which is one of the real dynamics that led to this. asas turned towards chaos as my thesis i was also has used violence and used this disc disorder in order to position himself as the too big to fail regime of our own i ask you this when our barack obama took office he took a temp

a cairo and spoke to the region and seemed to tell anybody hey you know america is behind you. and seek your freedom and then when the people did what he suggested it he's very ambivalent i think is that it would be a nice way to characterize his reaction so far to what's going on and what more and more revealing i think is what we're seeing is how the geopolitics work out here barack obama appears in correct me if i'm wrong that he appears to be completely in a. aligned with saudi arabia and could care less about these populist uprising if across the region absolutely right base that everybody knows all these kids very brave kids to stand up to division jeems and there's a story unfold in fact that you know that all these media who go and visit cairo or go now looking watching from afar what's happening in libya people forget that the uprisings in tunisia and cairo produced lots of prisoners who are now in military

prisons in egypt nobody is speaking on their behalf nobody's actually even interested what has happened to them. this is my fear is that you know we've we've all kind of thought into this this is nonsense that's you know social networking has produced you know suddenly democratic subjects in the middle east that. they can deal with on their own and we have to now wait and see whether or not they're going to be fundamentalists or elements and and therefore i think the barack obama message which is kind of an ongoing it's by united states. interests stakeholders in the in the larger american empire project. and that's for me for america if i were sitting in washington soon actually concerned about the future of the military industrial complex i would be concerned about because there's only so much you can do. by using the bludgeon over.

gene or indeed using your unknown prose to take over on. its own point as we see people can write hundreds of thousands show up on the streets and change overnight about whether or not overnight means term change obviously in the middle east i feel has not seen that yet but there's always the potential i don't know anymore believes america as they know it's friend and no one actually trust america for actually taking the right side on this question does divide between democracy let me ask a final question here should the world let's talk about this it appears as though the u.s. is actually now just openly invading countries area made in east libya they're taking control of their sweet crude in east east libya and they're just gonna imperial conquest and sams is just just another another front in the ongoing empire project empire that america is attempting to finance with a completely. non non respected us dollar expansion libya is

one of those costly pieces were they their best to. the survival of their dictator of choice and what has happened or after a month of allowing khadafi to reinforce his is army with professional mercenaries bludgeon those who dare to stand up to the now this intervention is too short a two and a half million load libyans who can never return to living under narco naafi will be contained kind of like in a concentration camp when used in libya around benghazi. an area that has never really supported me in the first place it's always been a headache for you so i think you can the idea of leaving got part is kind of autonomous free zone something like south sudan or someone would be to do it projects of gadhafi in the long run i have no doubt this is you know i managed

a crisis done quite well they saved the regime to. be a very lucrative trading partner for many countries in europe states for sure and the same time they contained their potential refugee problem there's nothing worse for politicians in spain italy greece. or sovereigns flooding or a sink they've accomplished a lot are waiting it out until gadhafi was in suburbs of gaza and now they are doing this farcical intervention which will not lead to regime change and or it will lead you to basically creating a new divided libya we're going to leave it there gloomy thanks so much for being on the kaiser report our pleasure by silver. and that's going to do it for this edition of the guy's a report with me max kaiser and stacey harbor my guest bloomy if you want to send

me an e-mail please this now at kaiser reported r t t v eight that are you until next time this is next kaiser saying by. the interim.
