bloomberg but first let's check in with stacey heard stacey max you know we've been talking about suicide bankers around the world and they are out in full force this latest week but at the start of the week i want you to look at this image from outside of their crop elice when it was taken over by the communist party union in athens the people's house of power never surrender organize counter attack is the counterattack in athens joining the global insurrection against banker occupation over there in cairo they're well ahead of the curve and they're rejecting all i.m.f. world bank loans and all these protests are going to can join to become the global movement and by the way for you fricken so-called communist masses you're not fighting against capitalism you're fighting against monarchs and oligarchs capitalism got nothing to do with your problem something exactly actually the quote is we will strengthen our struggle with people from all over the world against

capitalist brutality in order for the brutal measures that bankrupt the people not to be applied so all our headlines are going to prove that they are wrong about that it is not capitalism it's rigged markets and that's not that's the opposite of capitalism first take a look at the look i'm going to look this is in regards to the oil release shocks markets ok this is the us and i remember last week they released sixty million barrels of oil into the market move is warning shot to opec they say exactly what was sort of warning shot is this japan to release three day or oil stockpile in line with a call what kind of message is japan sending to opec you know japan imports form. million barrels of oil per day almost entirely from saudi arabia and the u.a.e. oh before we have those suicide bombers in iraq we have the kamikaze way this is kamikaze thinking let's blow ourselves up let's blow up our only natural resource

that we're one hundred percent entirely dependent to to show opec a message oh no this is like a scene from a fight club exactly but it's even worse it's like one of those suicide bombers that accidently blows themselves up like a hundred miles from the intended destination of their cell phone like going to work at this moment it is. so nobody you know it is their statement course they only find little remnants of japan all over the place in this case on so i mean i want to turn back to the headline from march fourteenth this is a few days after the fukushima disaster well settles higher japan maybe boost fuel imports because of course eleven percent of japan's energy needs come from nuclear energy fukushima's knocked off the line and they've had to turn to more oil imports so they're more reliance on oil imports now than ever before so the message that they're sending to opec is the high will be back few days paying more for it then

we sold it to you at first or the context here is you know the fukushima disaster which took energy production offline they need more oil so to help the people that are now in blackouts who can find the on switch and their little hobbles and tokyo their country is going to antagonize the only source of energy they have and there's some concerns. so here we've proven that they're selling oil this is a kind of like a gordon brown move remember he announced to the market that he was going to sell half of britain's gold supply of course the big area teeth the lowest price possible this is exactly what japan and the u.s. and france and germany are doing right now into the market where dumping all of this oil give us the lowest price possible especially since we're going to. buy it back at a later date now the other thing of course we knew that oil would fall seven percent now check out this headline max c f t c investigating a royal release leak oh yes max surprise surprise us commodity regulators are

examining whether traders received early word of a decision to coordinate a release of global oil stockpiles ahead of thursday's announcement by the oh good i didn't talk about my bloomberg reveal now of course we know that they did get advance knowledge we were talking about on this show the fact that those in washington in congress actually can trade on inside information if you believe it's legal to do so how they got that booked into the legal framework i got to do a little bit more looking into what inside information is completely legal this is why bloomberg revealed because the bloomberg service which is a terminal you pay a lot of money to get prizes basically and you get to look at markets now there are different subscription rates or bloomberg you know if you pay more you get a look deeper into who's bidding and who's offering in the marketplace and if you pay even more you get spoon fed to you inside information from michael bloomberg

who's there the mayor of new york who's of course overseeing the new york fed who of course is involved goldman j.p. morgan and the federal reserve bank in washington dispensing inside information illegally bloomberg is involved in illegal conspiracy that's not conspiracy theory that's conspiracy fact it's all tied in to bloomberg bloomberg being of course now running for president supposedly lining things up where is he getting that money oh i get it it's inside information which he will of course try to legalize to cover his but at the end of the article there's a quote it's going to be awfully tough to identify the source of the leak in this case because of course it's always awfully difficult to prove insider trading twenty eight nations were involved so a whole lot of people knew this ahead of time yeah well these see if you see you know the regulators they don't have the money to pay for. these subscription on bloomberg to show you who's trading on inside information but bankrupt purposely on purpose so that they can possibly prosecute insider traders but also as leah mcgrath goodman proved earlier this week is most things are no longer illegal anyway they've been unwound all the regulations against insider trading and trading

on this sort of information is no longer illegal but gary gensler former goldman sachs guy he gives his blessing to outright market manipulation of fraud again to the people of athens you're not protesting against capitalism you're protesting against transgressions against capitalism by market manipulators and insider traders like gary gensler to see if you see michael bloomberg of bloomberg or of jamie guy minutes if you morgan these are the new the new hunter remember the hunt back in the seventy's a totally screwed up in a country where the troika is the new who would be the other thing about this oil down the markets is that obama now gets to claim that he's tough on speculators all those speculators driving up the cost of oil and gasoline well of course only speculators only these top guys these hedge funds these oil traders make money on the down side right contango why the release of oil from the s.p.r. is a doomed idea by dumping sixty million barrels of oil on the market or saying they're

going to announcing a head of time the price of oil has fallen. today in the markets today not in the future now traders are able to buy this oil cheap from the u.s. government from the japanese government from the south korean government france and germany they're able to buy it today at this ninety dollars price of w t i a hundred ten dollars price for brant they will to buy that and sell it back to them for six months and i myself wrote this idea that obama was tough on speculators being tough on speculators assumed or makes the assumption that somebody is losing money because they're being tossed on their criminal behavior that they have a risk there's some kind of penalty but in fact that's incorrect by simply telegraphing which direction oil is going from the obama white house to the oil market they were out able to make gargantuan profits once again which will trickle

back into the oil futures markets within six months time as oil burst passed under close past one fifty us way to two hundred because you're just giving ammunition to the very people who say you're being tough again it's like for example you see a perfect example of this the u.s. selling guns to the mexican drug cartels and then saying we don't know why we're losing the war on drugs all the stroke over it from mexico will stop some of them somebody. now speaking of market intervention there was at the end of april when we had all those margin hikes on silver oh yeah who can forget well bill gross the manager of the lot world's largest bond fund tweeted last week that margin increases and so were basically an attempt to rig the market he said quote i eat a action yesterday continues policy maker efforts to cap bad inflation in parentheses silver margins except nonetheless higher inflation ahead oh bill gross is going off the reservation he's calling out the manipulators and the corrupt

regulators they're in the pocket of the markets he feels i believe that his fund big. john fund the world one of biggest funds in the world he's got the leverage and he loves to write about the inner workings of these markets now over there in business insider dot com joe wiesenthal at the same time he wrote a piece lauding ben bernanke the for engineering a price drop in the price of oil course but wiesenthal's a paper blog any attacked pimco and bill gross as being given to conspiracy theories so there's a bit of an interesting dynamic being set up here between bill gross and the people who support the status quo in the paper pushing paper bug neil liberal psychopaths that drive down the road toward economic clintonism that we're seeing in athens the return of the they call themselves al the so joe wiesenthal is calling him a conspicuous silver conspiracy theorist but here's

a guy bill gross who accidentally admitted i believe was on c n b c but he received inside information from the fed he receives information on interest rates that's right he let slip and i think that's part of his campaign to try to bring some balance to these markets i think is a vigilante for market justice so he let slip that he actually is in the in the loop with inside information from the new york fed in the federal reserve now he's talking about gary gensler see if you see openly and corrupted lee rigging markets in this rate market capitals nightmare that's disenfranchising people all over europe all over america but they did a great job because we had it on our you tube look down below here people were screaming wreaking or that the fed won over prices are falling they're so powerful we are helpless people remember but at the top of the show we said people have the power it's the people who have the power organizer counterattack and you will win silver coin sales booming perfectly meant so there were a lot of people shrieking terrified of ben bernanke you they look at him and they

see the wizard of oz before he's revealed they see a powerful all powerful. all knowing man and they're afraid of him others were out buying silver while the prices were being smashed probably bill gross but the perth mint for example says that they sold ten point seven million ounces of silver since july first of last year the sixty six percent increase over the previous year and the us mint sold three point six five million coins alone in may that's a thirty percent increase well you measure the wizard of oz of course the wizard of oz is an allegory about returning to the gold standard and as dorothy's ruby slippers were originally silver slippers and if you play the wizard of oz on t.v. or video or d.v.d. and trying to sound all the way down and simultaneously play the entire full length version of dark side of the moon by pink floyd as the musical background you'll get freaked and ripped but again all of these market manipulations they they help the

people who are short because remember a pension funds your pensions your future can only really go long in the market so the government rigs the market on silver and oil they force it down because their guys are making money on the drops and prices and most people don't understand that they think prices have to go up on various commodities and stocks for people to make money for speculators to make money here is more profitable than faith and that's the underlying functionality of the current rate market capitalism and michael bloomberg we've got to our process we know what you're doing say sara thanks for being on the kaiser report thank you max go of us are coming away so stay right there. hungry for the food we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers . twenty years ago are just

just countries . but how did. the generator. where did it take the. imax kaiser welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to acapulco talk with jeff berwick editor of dollar vigilante dot com welcome to the show jeff thank you very much max all right jeff roic as your website name suggests you are a dollar vigilante thing now the u.s. and the i.a.e.a. i've just fired a sixty million barrel wad at u. of oil are you scared is selling oil from the strategic petroleum reserve going to defeat inflation jeff it's pretty obvious that obama understands the oil market

about as much as he understands the u.s. markets this. absolutely no effect and it's quite. puzzling why they would even do it there's obviously just one or two reasons why they would do it one is for political gain which really makes no sense because why would they even bother like as i just mentioned this is such a small amount that it really won't have very much effect at all the only other reason i can think of that he would even do this is there's some sort of an emergency like that's the reason you're supposed to actually release these oil reserves and who knows maybe there are planning something to happen with iran there's any number of possible things that could happen at this point this is a desperate government and its dying empire that so is in its death throes and it's liable to do anything at this point tell us. describe to us what is a dollar vigilante as you get into it and what what do you expect going forward to speak more top level basically back in the one nine hundred eighty s.

as you know there used to be bond vigilantes people like soros and those sort of people and and back then the reason there was bond vigilantes was they basically thought there was no way to control these governments who were inflating or going too far into bed and only way that they could really control them was to sell their bonds so back then they were called bond vigilantes well now we've got a completely different world where we live in a completely currency world and people like ben bernanke in the federal reserve are buying up all the bonds and that's what they've been doing in q.e. so there's really no way to fight the government now by selling bonds there's no point to it because they can print up as much money and buy all the bonds they want so the only way for regular people to protect themselves and to show displeasure with what these governments are doing is to sell dollars and buy real assets such as gold silver and even energy oil things like that so that was the beginning of

the dollar which launched you in how we started out i just so you mentioned the eighty's and this starting in the one nine hundred eighty s. and it's kind of mimicking what we used to call. bond vigilantes who would sell bonds as a way to offer some checks and balances against government overspending but then thanks to programs like quantitative easing where the government's coming in and buying government bonds they've effectively co-opted the bond vigilantes i remember back in one nine hundred eighty seven after the crash of wall street the federal reserve the treasury department and ronald reagan and rubin and greenspan can gather there for the working group on finance and they started to buy s. and p. futures contracts the next week and this was the first time or i should say not the first time but really the beginning of the. one moment the u.s. government having its own huge hedge fund type account used to. move markets in directions that they claim are beneficial of course make us completely against the idea of free market capitalism it's the beginning of institutionalized

a rigged market capitalism it is that part of the history of the past twenty twenty five years that you are commenting upon is this part of the it part of the loss of me here part of the idea absolutely there really is no way to protect ourselves nowadays from what these governments are doing and as you said they're completely out of control no this is not a free market system at all and what you were just referring to is the plunge protection team and and for some reason well i understand the reason the reason the u.s. government's thinks they have to make sure things like the stock market don't go down very much is because they're basically controlled by wall street and that's not what wall street wants so the markets will only go down when they want to go down so this is a complete rigged artificial financial system and the only way to even get outside the system at all is to sell your financial federal reserve notes to u.s. dollars sell bonds and sell anything from the financial system and get out of the

system that's the only way you can protect yourself at this point because the system actually is going to collapse and no one knows what's going to happen adopt point so it's a very dangerous time but it's also exciting time as you know as we know and as you know on your on your report every day that i'm sure you're never struggling to find information or any any news that's of interest every day it's it's overwhelming what's going on right now as the system is in a state of collapse this is a complete. end of the world as we know it in the financial system and that's probably a good thing because this financial system is not a free market system it's basically fascist or controlled. and in some ways communist system when you have a new. central planning of of the of the interest rates on the dollar and in the currency system this is just the system and we're just seeing all the symptoms of this all around the world right now as the system starts to collapse right rig market capitalism is

a growth industry and certainly we're capitalizing on that here on the kaiser report but you mentioned the comparison to command and control economics most recently associated perhaps with the soviet era. fixing the price of products let's say cars and not allowing the market to determine the price of something like a car manufactured goods and this results in collapse now the comparison here is that in the new u.s. you have a polar bear all called the federal open market committee run by ben bernanke and they don't fix the price of products per se but they fix the price of money they fix the price of interest rates and the result is the same you've got a commanding control economy that is causing generating enormous price dislocations as you see the price of commodities skyrocket wages collapse and the basic. quality of life in the u.s.

is deteriorating rapidly as rapidly as we've seen anywhere in the last fifty years correct oh totally and it's just amazing that they do try to control the prices of everything but at the same time they're not very smart or they're i can like are not very smart because they use all these keynesian economic theories which makes no sense and they don't seem to understand that once you inflate a bubble in one area which is what they did with the housing bubble in the us after the tech bubble they never let any of these problems truly collapse anymore which is a sort of keynesian sort of approach on things that they can somehow smooth out these probables by inflating the money supply but they don't seem to realize that whenever they reinflate the money supply in expectation of the real and. the bubble in peru for example housing they don't seem to realize that the money never goes to the areas where the the bubble just screwed up so they're trying to they've been trying since two thousand and eight to reinflate the housing market and the money

has not gone there now the money's gone swarts commodities word scolds words. things like shoot and we're seeing that all over the world right now as people start to riot and protest against the rising price of food and this is all led by ben bernanke and central banks all around the world it definitely appears like they're doing everything possible to make the system collapse but the easiest markets manipulate is the stock market and after ben bernanke you look at that and with these new i.p.o.'s coming down the pipe from linked in dot com or facebook dot com a group on dot com this is creating a lot of new currency to pay off bribes and to you know can conduct this was institutionalization of the american kleptocracy but you mentioned bill gross bond vigilante extraordinaire and what's left of them anyway and he recently tweeted that this move that we were just talking about of releasing oil was similar to see any increasing margin rates on solver now this opens up a bit of a can of worms here because the sienese increase in marginal rates split the

financial journalistic community down the middle between those who believe that the regulators are manipulating prices and it relating things like margin rates and those who believe that they're not bill gross coming down the side now of the manipulation camp now the intention was to drive down prices as bill gross says now that these interventions in the oil and so remark and do they do anything to dissuade you from investing in either of these assets let's say oil or a silver and what's your thoughts on what bill gross is saying. it doesn't dissuade me if anything it encourages me i'm looking at buying oil right now because we've been given. a little bit of a dip your fire there are a little sail there or merge and see the stock. definitely i completely agree that the market is manipulated isn't there's absolutely no question of that it's just a matter of what level is a manipulative but the u.s.

government for decades has been manipulating markets just look what they did to the hunt brothers basically the hunt brothers tried to buy up a lot of silver and the u.s. government didn't like it and they did everything they could to manipulate the market down to basically end up bankrupting the hunt brothers and basically end up destroying their lives basically and of course what the what did they call the brothers on the one nine hundred eighty s. they called them manipulators well there was there was only one real manipulation during that we're just buying silver because they did they were seeing the same things we see today and in the inflationary nine hundred seventy s. and the u.s. government manipulated the price over lower and then accused the hunt brothers of manipulation so it's the same with them they've been doing this for decades and it's actually just getting worse and worse now and people are just starting to wake up to it right and the sale of still around several points has never been higher as the public doesn't seem to be fooled by this and you've got about thirty seconds i just want your final thoughts if you can weigh in

a little bit on the bitcoin phenomenon that's sweeping the globe that cause a lot of controversy a lot of hate mail. from some faults but then again we and others believe it's a fantastic thing what do you think my first impression i heard about about three months ago for the first time and i was thrilled when i heard about it and i think that's a little bit the computer nerd side of me i see this is a little bit of a struggle between computer nerds and the austrian economics people and i'm i'm very involved on the austrian economic side as well and i have a lot of friends and i'm involved in a group and actually i was very surprised as you mention a lot of sort of more libertarian austrian economics these sort of people have kind of lashed out against coyne and i'm quite. bit confused about it as well i think they're coming from it from the from me says he used to say that in the theory of money that money can't be something that can just be made up and conjured it has value in and of itself and so i think they're sticking to that and they've been

fighting a few currencies for so long that i think they're just used to fighting other forms of currency but i really like the concept of bitcoin and i like how it's on regulated and and intractable and there's no way to shut it down and i think but the more that we have these sort of options and these are options because right now we don't have any options in the few money system we have just have to use the few money but this is what free market money looks like and i'm excited by it yeah i think what high and karl mangere are and nice is as to what they don't really you know how to chance to comment on yet is the key concept cryptology and how that weighs into currency creation and exchange and i jest like that's all the time we have for this weekend thanks for being on the kaiser report it's been my pleasure thank you all right and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey herbert i want to thank my guests jeff and if you want to send me an email please do. prize
