well it's one thing to go for the gold and quite another to actually go all in with gold speak with a man whose golden prediction for the gold friend has him laughing all the way to the bank joining me for my discussion with gerald celente. it's clear that companies like slim groups are leading the way toward a brighter more prosperous future now fast forward one year and it definitely does not look like the future president obama was hoping for so was there are jobs added the month of august in the u.s. losing out to competition from china is the u.s. green with envy. there are. the images the world is seeing out of syria a country seemingly on the brink of revolution but in

a country where foreign correspondents are few and far between is there some serious manipulation coming from the mainstream media we hear from our reporter inside the country. and i really. was being i mean i do believe that people have the right to do whatever they want even the right to watch for in a public library the hard questions during a passionate debate will take a debate out where debbie does the library legally. well good evening it's friday september second five pm here in washington d.c. i'm lauren lyster and you're watching r.t. new jobs numbers came out today for august dan if you haven't heard they are showing for the first time since one thousand nine hundred forty five the u.s. has created zero new. two jobs therefore the unemployment rate remains unchanged

at nine point one percent and the us economy actually added fewer jobs in june and july than we originally thought those numbers were revised down to so naturally when we hear bad economic news we see what people in the finance world call a flight to safety and gold which some now consider a safe haven jumped the most in more than four weeks today closing it eighteen hundred seventy six dollars and some change an ounce and here now a predictor of the future who has revealed he is completely invested in gold and he's willing to take on some economists who doubt him because of that because of his faith in it gerald celente publisher of the trends research journal sees the trends journal and he's director of the trends research institute and he's going to help us sort out all of this news coming out today hi thank you so much for being here mr celebrity first of all you're making a lot of money today aren't ya. well i've been in gold many many years my began

trading gold in one nine hundred seventy eight when i first thought i was at one hundred eighty seven dollars and fifty cents an ounce and what's different now than then that people don't understand and why they think it's a bubble when it's not is that then it was only the united states that was really playing the gold market you had guys like the hans brothers that had cornered the silver market for example it's a whole different world now back then you know it was the red chinese nobody was doing business with them and russia and eastern europe were locked behind the soviet union zion curtain there's a whole global game going on it's a global meltdown and gold is the ultimate gold and safe haven and you know you have then willing to take on people that have called golden ball gold one of them is economist nouriel roubini and he's been quoted dangled is becoming a bubble at least he's a smart guy who talks about how gold isn't money and it can be devalued by

countries' leaders so why are you so sure he's wrong. well he's been wrong on his call he said i believe gold would top out at lucky about fifteen hundred dollars an ounce and what are we one thousand away approaching one thousand eight hundred dollars an ounce so by their deeds you shall know them and the other thing is so let him put his money in that digital money that not that's not worth the paper it's not printed on called u.s. dollars in euros that's why the current caesar the gold is going so high is because that everyone knows that the only way that the europeans though the americans can get their way out of this mess they're actually not going to get out of it but to keep the ponzi scheme going is by printing more money but they put those right shoe boy labels on it such as q e two and q

e three it needs just printing more money and went by the way interest rates the federal reserve said it's going to keep them down year zero in silver mid two thousand and thirteen and the european central bank is talking about lowering them so the lower the interest rates go and as they stay low the higher the price of gold goes it's simple arithmetic and we've also seen treasuries rally despite the low interest rates the low return on investment and low yields on those. yes but you know there's another thing too that i want to mention when they're talking about comparing gold to the real estate bubble and the dot com bubble those are different bob those are real baubles the dot com bubble was built upon you know these silicon valley con artists that i had no business plans but a lot of the wall street barkers hype and the real estate market was just that oh

god all they created it remember they had those wonderful ads on t.v. you know your house is as good as a piggy bank take out a home equity loan people flipping homes blogging pre-construction price condominiums in florida that's a bubble this is not a bubble go bubble is the basic money that the federal reserve and the european central banks are printing make a projection because a lot of people are saying that q e three is coming next month do you predict we're going to see that you know i don't know if they're going to call the q e three or some other kind of scheme but they have to do something to keep pumping money into the system look laurin we found out because of the reporting that went on and we just found out few years ago that the you know the federal reserve was comforting was one point two trillion into the banks around the world that we didn't know

about they're going to do something and that's why gold prices are going up speaking i have let staying on the topic of why gold prices are rallying today you mentioned earlier that many consider this a state haven now and one of the reasons people are saying it's rallying is because of the jobs numbers and the white house when it sent out its statement on the jobs numbers today they emphasize how the economy has added private sector jobs for eighteen months but we want to take a look at this chart which conveniently the white house did not send out in its statement and it shows what public sector jobs have done and they have just gone down i mean these are local government jobs that are just being shadowed by that thousands what does that tell you gerald. well look we know that the the that washington is talking about more austerity measures the same kind of was spared the measures that are are racking through europe as well what does that mean it means

more cutbacks so at a taunt him when the economy is already slowing down they created as you pointed out zero jobs which is just perfect for washington because they bad zero on just about everything that's wrong with that whether it's the war on drugs wars in afghanistan and wars on education you name it they what they do zero so what it shows us is that at a time when things are slowing down it's going to become much worse they davis their best shot lauren remember they had larry the brilliant summers as the head of the economic pain remember the stimulus programs remember under bush tarp they've given it everything they can and they coming up with goose eggs so we're not only going to see it get much worse but you know it's not gloomy for everybody

carol the french fashion house airmen as which is known basically for having the most expensive handbag that is on the market to burke and it's ten thousand dollars that i got our audience is saying they announced that their profits jumped fifty percent after higher four hundred new employees to keep up with the demand for things like their ten thousand dollars bag who have all this money for ten thousand dollars birkin bag. well again i just mentioned we're talking about the one point two trillion that the fed fed into the financial institutions and banks all of this huey stimulus all of the obama stimulus and bush two are where did nobody go it's called too big to fail so the money went all to the too big and the rest of the people are too small to say the gap between the rich in the war is the widest in the united states than any of the industrialized nations and it's the

same trend that's going on world war so if you're poor you get fired if you're rich you get bailed out and get to buy your perk and bad thanks for weighing in on the latest coming out today that was publisher of trends journal and research and director of the trends research institute gerald solent. now i mentioned that unemployment as a result of this jobs report that added zero jobs means that nine point one percent remains the unemployment rate unchanged and so just as obama gets ready to roll out a new jobs plan that's coming next week i want you to brace for what the president predicts average unemployment will be next year in two thousand and twelve are you ready for it this is after the jobs plan after any efforts nine percent you heard me right the same number that unemployment has been hovering around for the last two years nine percent so to figure out why this may be let's look at just how some

of the administration's plans for job creation have worked out for one obama has placed a big emphasis on clean energy to put the u.s. in the running with green energy competitors worldwide here's what he said in two thousand and ten around the world from china to germany our competitors are waging a historic they're for. the lead in developing new energy technologies there are photos like this being built and trying to go through like this being built in germany nobody is playing for second place these countries recognize that the nation that leads the clean energy economy is likely to lead the global economy and if we fail to recognize that same repaired we risk polling behind so you know to to progress his goals for one loans were given through the stimulus and the solar companies the lender got one they got a half a billion dollar loan to make solar panels and they also got a visit from obama to show what this money was doing we can see

the positive impacts right here it's a limb less than a year ago we were standing on what was an empty one but through the recovery act this company received a loan to expand its operations this new factory is the result of those loans but just what is going on with that factory fifteen months later well it's going to be shuttered it is filing the companies the lender out is filing for bankruptcy they're laying off eleven hundred workers and why why do they have to declare bankruptcy they say they can't compete with lower cost rivals from guess what country china and it's not just the lender this follows two other solar manufacturers in the u.s. who have both filed for bankruptcy in recent weeks for a similar reason they both cite increased competition from chinese rivals so why i

can't the u.s. compete to help us understand that earlier i spoke with stephen denning he is a former program director of knowledge management at the world bank he also wrote this book you see there the leaders guide to radical management reinventing the workplace for the twenty first century i asked him why do you want us can't get those green manufacturing back and compete with china or is this take. it's called a back and a whole sectors of the economy have just gone and so the expertise isn't here anymore so when. amazon wanted to build it. they had no choice but to go to asia there was no expertise in this country to make it happen so keep the pieces come from trying different from korea simply isn't possible so you have the whole sectors which have gone you have sectors which are at risk and a few sectors which are still here so picture is one of the reasons why i think we're not looking at just a cyclical phenomenon but a phase transition well this is something that you have written about and you wrote

it in a very popular forbes article that's gotten more than two hundred fifty thousand page views so it obviously really resonated with people why do you think it resonated so much with people. you saw it was true. but from your own experience i mean they didn't really get something that nobody is really talking about from that perspective and they also saw that i understood why it was happening sample that i gave. which. was making computers and one of their suppliers came to them and said look we're making this little circuit board we're doing pretty well why don't we take over the motherboard because that's not your core expertise and if you handed over to us then you'd be able to let go of all those people and we'll make it you'll make a lot more money and so it's better off i'm going to do that and they made more wanting profits went up and then the company came back and said well why don't we do that with the whole computer why don't we do that with assembling the computer

why don't we do that with the supply chain and successive steps the world's profits were going up but the final time they came back it was not to talk to the top and best buy to talk of the other retailers and say look we have a computer which is better than drugs and twenty percent cheaper than we go one company has gone. whole a raise of company do the same thing you have a whole industry it's basically disappearing and so it sounds like you're saying in these solar companies that's just part of a much larger trend that speaks to where manufacturing has gone over the last decade but what do you really attribute that to as far as the reasons why it all started to go overseas the underlying forces that these companies are in pursuing short term profits they've been seeing that is the goal of the company to make money for their shareholders and when you happens the goal it makes sense to destroy the company. you start doing things that don't make sense for long term so

there's a whole movement underway to manage organizations differently and to focus not on making money for the shareholders but on the lighting customers through continued was innovation. when you adopt that goal it doesn't make sense to ship expertise overseas because you're going to need trade like the customers there are people pretty much taught that that is the business model in business school and that is the model of business that is then instituted and believed in at every level from policy to corporations to management consultants to c.e.o.'s. why don't you you read the business books turn to business school classes listen to pretty much every c.e.o. when you pause carefully what they're saying the bottom line is making profits for the shareholders for most firms and so this is written by roger martin wonderful

article the age of customer capitalism that we are in fact passing from where organizations focus on making money to shareholders to a new age where they focus totally. colliding with customers or organizations like up or like i was on the exiles force do that and you find when you do that you actually make more money but if you're focused on making money i want to see how that plays out that was steve indenting author and former program director of knowledge management at the world bank so from corporations to corporate media let's talk about syria so in syria the government is accused of more vicious and deadly assault on its cities but most foreign correspondents there have been under tight control many have not even been able to get into the country so it's been very hard to get balanced reports and objective commentary particularly with the u.s. mainstream media and our own correspondent artie's arena bellew show is one of the

few who has been reporting from the country and she sets the record straight on that. murder carrying catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pops up in the headlines but what is really happening in a country where hardly any foreign journalists are present there's even been the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports about that are available online that you can watch us. in bahrain is said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage in different stations different backgrounds usually drugs so there are some very strange things that are going on right now an example of such manipulation is the case of palestinian refugees in the call to fifty of latakia the stadium and like that you became the center of the controversy when according to various reports anywhere from several hundred to several thousand people were gathered here most of those people were palestinian refugees who came from the palestinian refugee camp in the sunni quarter of latakia now according to the opposition forces

and through some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their i.d.'s were taken away their cell phones were also taken away and they're really prepared for the worst because you have to realize that hurting large numbers of people interested in them carries somewhat of a very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the hussein has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in the stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes the navy ships and talked to the refugees to find out what happened we got a little bit of some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from sea and everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house i can see the day from my window and there was nothing you know aside from the usual patrol boats do gunfire did break out with the army and i'm no gunman so

the five thousand palestinians left their homes hearing for their life. we wanted to leave so that our kids wouldn't hear the gunshots we hid in our house and when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then came back. and so did two thousand refugees only to realise there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. i felt like we were lying to the heart of the . syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who started shooting first stray should it come to bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media about syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it whatever. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalist from the country media law has returned . but there is no guarantee it will go

a long ways towards changing series image as portrayed on major networks even those forty here so earlier i spoke to a man with some experience reading between the media lines filmmaker and blogger at newsday sector dot org and he shekhar and so just start up i asked him about syria i asked if he thinks the mainstream media has been too one sided in its coverage. and like in many other conflicts the coverage tends to reflect the often the political outlook of the countries you know for whom the you know the t.v. networks work i mean the countries in the gulf area some of them have very good relations with syria so the coverage hasn't been as sharp as it has let's say in other countries and the the question of armed groups is not you know definite on one side or the other there are have been some armed groups there there are reports of headquarters of the basque party being burned down and the like so you know that

gives credence to certain syrian claims but in the absence of having journalists there from around the world to investigate all of this to look into it the assumption is that the syrian government is lying which agree will be but what has a station let's say like a network like c.n.n. stance again when it has a reporter file a story from say lebannon reporting on me it's alleged atrocities committed by bashar al assad happening in syria. why i don't think they that's that i don't think they necessarily have anything directly to gain but you know the coverage of these conflicts has been so poor in many many countries you know that you know you have to kind of not rely on just t.v. images you have to also look at social media you have to read press accounts and in some cases press reports differ from country to country about the very same incident so he is really press in some cases has been better at covering some of

this than some of the arab press you wouldn't think so but apparently it is according to an arab media watch group and other people who are analyzing all of this so i think you just have to be suspicious and not jump to conclusions because a lot of what you're watching is really in the process of happening we don't really have a lot of perspective and context on it yet do you think yes or no the u.s. mainstream media has jump to conclusions with area. well i mean i think it's jump to conclusions everywhere whether it has with syria or not it's are to assess because a lot of reporters are not in there you know so they're all laying secondhand reports rumors tips you know and then they revise it accordingly so many died no it was only so many so you know a lot of the first reports have to be really question what are algis there at what al-jazeera in the case of libya for example get a channel have been to one side supporting the revelation family and i thought

a lot of that. well a lot of people feel that way in part because you know at the very beginning of the conflict an al-jazeera camera man who's from cutter from qatar was shot and killed by a would be in forces and this had a big reaction emotionally in doha the capital of jakarta a big funeral for him he was very well known and so the. government had joined the nato forces whether that was you know the reason or not remains to be seen but that they seem to have a closer relationship or have had in the past with us you know with with bashir in syria so they don't seem to have be as critical on the other hand the syrians have not led. correspondents in so their own media policy may be working against them but do you think then that libya or excuse me that al-jazeera is coverage of libya is influenced by cutters the court the rebels. well you know they would deny

it you know a lot of people think it may be you know i don't watch it another to know but there's definitely been a show we say a bias in support of the rebels there without the kind of critical reporting that we've seen in other countries there's also criticism of you know about jazeera coverage of bahrain and in part because the emir of qatar is you know and the gulf states are very nervous about what's happening there will soon be happening in their own countries so yes everybody has interests to defend and protect and sometimes they spill over so the way media covers an event or doesn't cover it and how it's the maker of blogs news that affect or dot org any sector now from the media possibly pushing revolutions to lawyers and activists pushing something very different they're pushing porn you heard me right and guess where public library

they are arguing that in a library perusing porn is you know it's your constitutional right and our thing then a thousand years is selling out how that's working out in new york. a library a place of serenity and peaceful contemplation but if only these walls could talk. must have been filling the silence rooms browsing porn online in public libraries is legal in the us. i'm not really sure what i mean i do believe that people have the right to whatever they want but at the same time the library also had the right to do or not to do whatever they want or not but it was a one. and some of these services are causing a public outcry locally across america internet policies of libraries need to for one thing libraries here do is put a ban on for rooting for longer feet this is protected by the first amendment of

the constitution only federally funded libraries must use filters to block adult content such as child porn or obscenity to protect children from seeing it apart from that anything else goes all adults who have library cards have the option to remove internet filters to view women who they want but if what they are seeing is disturbing to another library patrons library staff will ask them to remove it from the screen would you want something like. that if that's not the point who creations are plenty just in the big apple there are two hundred public libraries with a push of the right button where the imagination of its patrons run wild and while for some the inconvenience is our technical library speeds are so slow look at your library computer like they have the world so a sanction i think would take like an hour and a half to watch a five minute partly to others it's the public aspect that's bothersome people want

users to take the phone home i don't watch porn. with the girl. that's my policy but i think if you're going to allow this to happen then you have to approach and sunny. i want to walk by somebody watching for. some city officials and concerned citizens want the proposal bans. public places where the. people go to. the regular day to day activities just not right. the fact that a library is a public place is keeping some operate not watching a lot of movies but horrified you can make sort of the same argument about masturbation like everyone does it but you don't necessarily want to watch other people doing it and when it comes to pornography that's generally sort of its purpose civil rights advocates attorneys and free thinkers say constitutional

rights can't be touched if i'm at the library and i'm using a computer and the person next to me is reading a website that politically is the complete opposite of what i believe maybe i find that offensive let's get everything. at a rally against my very budget cuts some backwaters insist that we're not repeat can have an educational purpose internet sites and website should not be banned from public libraries because the hope and the understanding of the biology of the human body to this paul has formed his opinion from personal experience i as an adult i have visited some of these sites and know they have no educational value we're all in the library is the center of education only educational websites should be permitted in an educational institution especially with other types of institutions a bottomless pit considering all the shows we have around times where.
