work were put to death a little less than sixty years ago today and that is going to do it for now but for more on the stories we covered go to r.t. dot com slash usa also check out our youtube page at youtube dot com slash r t america i'm christine for good night. well. really you believe some science and technology from the realms of. the future covered. a charmer in here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture.

max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report listen to the oh ok and here are. these are the so over cars or oh yeah twenty solar cars are these are now available and being available training all over the world that's right people are joining the silver liberation army and they are basically financing the global insurrection with this. yes. let's bring in stacy herbert kaiser there's a war on and in that case you can never have arms as

a t.v. presenter try to car still have cars work or go solar cars or here's a little video i want you to see gets in the mood for this broadcast here it's a libyan t.v. presenter oh yeah. yeah has. any time a while. as he sees us ranting about protecting the homeland and all of. this go to the business of these silver closer. but of course he's being presented as a man who is being pretty crazy but is it any crazier than the country doing the bombing because the headline reads us spending on military operations in libya drains pentagon the us military operations in libya will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and forced 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 are 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 u.s. is being raised again it's at fourteen and fifteen trillion that's those include the words that they do off the balance sheet like super enron you know afghanistan and iraq were just in place or writing libya ok that's all off the balance they don't actually include it on the official balance sheet so actually just fifteen trillion dollars of that well forty five trillion and then you add in fannie mae that's fifty trillion then you add in social security medicaid that comes out 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 was sober is going to fly. but they do make you know in this article that none of the war funding 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 number is being circulated including one of nearly one billion. seemed 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 barack obama should have gone to seek authorization for a bombing another country 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 biased good quality ones in the final four well that's about the you know it craziness of it the libyan t.v. presenter he might look crazy but so does the us going to war while their president i don't like that i don't like freeloaders but speaking of wars there is

a war in the monetary world and that is silver and gold vs the us dollar and all the other free out currencies so you know you take a look at the silver chart here and it's of course taking up arms heading straight up. that's really attractive max but you know taking up arms against humans 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 she shaved ice cool 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 this congress isn't sitting nobody knows any worries being declared the same craziness has gone on with the central banks they have

a revolution in financial banking. well i don't know it's all the news i mean just great get out of this thing here did you see what the going on with the bank of japan on that front and now they're going out and say that bank of japan said that they're just going to start to issue bonds essentially the flow of money directly from that 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 they're just saying oh we can just print trillions of dollars of killings of your own or trillions again 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 in a crisis why because we use mathematical formulas that some pimply faced fifteen year old kid at mit says makes this trillion dollars of the work of garbage worth

something other than worthless garbage just what is worthless garbage and that's why silver is going to five hundred because you're all for a conclusion that article points out by reaching for its nuclear option. the e.c.b. also helped rewrite the manual of 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 because 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 to stockholm syndrome. it's highly illegal according to any dictates that would cover counterfeiting what these banks are doing the central banks are doing are counterfeiting their counterfeiting rather trillions and trillions and are 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 and we're just human shield through this whole crazy monetary and fiscal disaster and economic disasters around the world that just a few years ago they would have dismissed as preposterous exactly they just sort of 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. a bank of japan who are just out there stealing they're just out there larson mystically pilfering without

any recourse whatsoever and that's why soldiers go on a five hundred foot i say that yes well yes you have but this is also preposterous in the way that norman bates. syndrom it is just says the u.s. is fighting itself italy 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 in 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 banks definitely pons and then they swallow those bonds back that's what quantitative easing is it's quantitative definitions following notion of a preposterous chavez says capitalism may have ended life on mars this is the 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 capitalism being unsustainable you surely 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 to get huge welfare bailouts from a corrupt federal reserve bank that's like capitalism and socialism but i don't think it's socialism i don't think it's capitalism those are just isn't there just

like a religious text or whatever it is the crazy mad men who have hijacked it they don't realize there are no rebates 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 remember norman bates and psycho we saw those 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 shellings of dollars and wondering why the economies are exploding and going bad well it was actually don't base his mother that he thought he was tough well those are the particulars but i remember the title of the film was psycho and i think that's a good description of who's running the show we are a bunch of psychos and 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 apparently is a big market in the us i'm going to be i could invite you to my looks and there's an old and that's that's the nineteenth i'm going to cover those don't work so there is two different things you could buy your own exclusive one of 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 see that in the photo this is one of their renderings of what one of their places looked like they sell rooms in two hundred person doomsday bunkers and they've received thousands of applications since the 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 other times years and doomsday bunkers and of course the

people who buy these doomsday punkers 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 do. because you're psycho why because you are but your imagination of the sound of your own one hand clapping against yourself because basically inherently when you look down underneath rather grow at a journal. strata of the varicose veins of the operability of your consciousness on any one plane that would adhere to anything be construed as normal your coffee logically will ben bernanke blankfein ben bernanke you go blind fine dining psychologically ill brain damage created by a straight jacket carted off to jail medicated heavily r. i stay sober thank 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.

to a. welcome back to the kaiser report time now to turn to is a gloomy is the assistant professor of modern middle east and islamic world history at georgia state university and he is the author of chaos in yemen societal collapse and the new author terry has on welcome to the kaiser report great to be here all right is 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 to ongoing process use of its power grabbing and realigning over power our alliances. in part a response to what's going on in south of yemen the traditional struggle between northern and southern yemenis are also the consequences of since year two thousand

to saudi arabia and you know and i'm trying to dream into police jointly there from tear the shirt front here which has caused considerable disruption for the people who live in what science or traditionally does war has remained open people were able to travel back and forth with passports and now suddenly and since two thousand. very expensive project over three billion dollars. as of now is to police the courts of the extent where he'd stop to trade and stop the movement back and forth there are least regulated to certain extent and not just this repetition was lives. on to these kinds of disruptions and challenges and this is actually it suits the couple so as we've seen for a while because you can solve this disruption is police actions that yes they can are going source sovereignty of yemen and. saudi arabia from the invasion of a few avenues trying to enter into saudi territory and so. so this two partners

both inside and united states all right so just give us some geography here where is this wall and where is this 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 and it's the border it stems from the brits are inwards and this is an area that was captured by saudi rate in the one nine hundred thirty s. but they are agreements with the people who live on both side of this border they really didn't enforce them or so people on both sides were able to travel back and forth so if you look at it it's so area code nicer a scope a seizure a region these people are historically yemeni and as this as the saudi kingdom expanded territorially to conquer mecca medina jeddah and then further south here in this region called here. because they were it had no means of actually

physically. intimidating and conquering this region they basically 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 was. transforming as it has in the last eighteen years elise in borders ironically enough raw europe is supposedly tearing down borders other parts of the world are encouraged to build fences and police there there were you know causes considerable economic social cultural disruptions in places like the assyria and so again people whose lives were. disrupted by this and often very brutal process of policing these fronts you know says let's do a reaction from people who are well armed and who are still dignified enough to stand up to tyranny. wrestling to jason young people or doctor taking

a crowd from. from dictators and from certain far will places and starts to play these kind of show games. with of course united. kingdom of saudi arabia. use yemen kind of raunch in perth for all kinds of. calculations which of course have direct impact on the people on the ground who have just how now for our let's talk about the comparison to the one nine hundred eighty nine a for follow up now i think looking backward 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 thousand arabia 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 a petro. petro whatever you would like to call it a pet congressi or something of that order it's got huge oil reserves and 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 follow 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 well we've seen in tunisia is a success you know we're going to walk away to see how it out how it works out but is that going to be the story for yemeni or year from now i'm afraid not actually i would. be a little bit more cautious than characterizing any of you. lost for the last four months our success cases certainly we have to figure. out here actually how the infrastructure of repressive regimes the old darky she run to society actually and the rest of us in open questions though i think people in places like. tunisia and

egypt are still willing to go and hit the streets when necessary. and the bots know it doesn't take much to intimidate the percentage of those on the street so far and yet it is a different case because people are very desperate now it's just saudi arabia is also not immune from social unrest the money is not just barely and there is a lot of regionals and in saudi arabia case in point was this area on the on the border with yemen. how thin. are demanding of course not only payments in this kind of caustic run to your state system where oil money trickles down to everybody and everyone just sits and watches like the u.s. model i guess working on satin stupid and don't do anything. that they actually want some con artists patient have a direct place and 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 men have ended early ninety's the same dictator who's 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 the 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 dynamics that led to this chaos this turn towards chaos is my thesis that i will so i was used for violence and used just this order in order to position himself as the too big to fail regime. and i ask you this when our barack obama took office he to pick up the cairo and spoke to the region and seemed to town bonnie. hey you know america's mind you get out in

and seek your freedom and then when the people did what he suggested it he's very ambivalent and i think isn't 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 couldn't care less about these populist uprising if across the region absolutely right they stop everybody in the book all these kids very brave to stand up solution jeems and there's a story unfolding that you know that all these media who go and visit cairo or go now looking botching from afar what's happening in libya people forget that the uprisings in tunisia and cairo coos loss of prisoners kids who are now in military prisons in egypt nobody's speaking on her behalf nobody's actually even interested

what has happened to them. this is my fear is that you know we all kind of got into this this nonsense that you know social networking has you know some new democratic subjects in the middle east and they can deal with it on their own and we have to not wait and see whether or not they're going to be on the mentalists elements and that and therefore i think the barack obama message which is kind of an ongoing it's united states. interests stakeholders in the in the larger american empire project have lost all credibility and that's for me for america if i was sitting watching the scene actually was 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 of a dictator pocket gene or indeed using your on drones to takeover oh. it's on

point as we see people can by the hundreds of thousands show on the streets and change overnight whether or not long term change obviously in the middle east i feel has not seen yet there's always the potential but i don't know any more believes america as they know it's friend and no one actually trust america for actually taking the right side on this question this divide between democracy and tyranny 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 that sweet crude in east east libya and they're just on a imperial conquest it seems is this just another another front in the ongoing empire project empire that america is attempting to finance with a completely. non non respected u.s.

dollar expansion libya just one of those classic cases were the edge their bets to . the survival of their dictator of choice and what has happened after a month of allowing gadhafi to reinforce his is army with professional mercenaries to bludgeon those there to stand up to now this intervention is too short a half million load libyans who can never return to living under market naafi world peace contained kind of like in a concentration camp used in libya around benghazi an area that has never really supported khadafi in the first place has always been headed for gadhafi so i think you can the idea of leaving out part is kind of acanthus free zone something like south sudan or someone would be it. could offer you know long run i have no doubt that this is you know managed crisis. well they saved the regime to.

prove to be a very lucrative trading partner for many countries in europe states for sure and the same time they changed their potential refugee problem there's nothing worse for politicians in spain italy greece. or south africans. they accomplished a long. way to get out until gadhafi was in suburbs of. those who are in this intervention which will not lead to regime change. basically trading a new divided libya we're going to leave it there gloomy thanks so much for being on the kaiser report our pleasure by solar. and that's going to do it for this edition of the guy's a report with me maximizer and stacey harbor thank my guests bloomy if you want to
