you know why is this movement as something that's temporary and really out are just teenage behavior and you've essentially called this bogus in your blog let's talk about that what is your take on occupy wall street well first of all it's hello larry that all of these scolds in the media are shaking their fingers at these young people and say oh you don't you can articulate your position you don't have any agenda we're living in a time in the united states when the consensus about reality is so fractured even among people who are supposed to know what's going on that we cannot construct a coherent story about what's happening to us and what we're going to do about it so to expect the young people to be able to construct a coherent narrative when nobody else in the culture is capable of doing that i think it's a little unfair. what's more you can tell just from the placards that they're carrying around we know where their heads are at the the most

significant or telling one that i saw said. i have seventy thousand dollars college debt twelve thousand dollars in medical bills i'm twenty two where's my bailout that's a good enough reason to be out there i think so and i think what it represents is very clear it's the idea that this younger generation feels like their future has been sold out from under them but with major unions joining we've seen a much more kind of mature knowledgeable group of people come out onto the streets thousands of people do you think that's reason enough for the media and politicians to really start taking this seriously i don't know if we're capable of really interpretating what's going on politically in our country right now you know i have a pet theory that the more social and economic distress a culture goes through the greater the delusional thinking gets

so that you know as the social stress rises the crazy ideas and delusional ideas and tend to increase it's not a very. good it's not a very good set of conditions for you know arriving at a picture of reality if we compare occupy wall street to the arab spring we saw american politicians on the mainstream media applauding the arab spring yet this is somewhat of a similar beginning of some uprising along those lines isn't the double standard a little bit too obvious yeah it's amazing it's amazing that we were cheerleading for all those people in the street in tahrir square you know anderson cooper was down there and you know all the other. usual media suspects were there cheering for the protesters in spite of the fact that there was a very good chance that the outcome of the revolution might not be so good let's put it this way you know the outstanding feature of the

politics in the last three years. there's has been that nobody on wall street has had to sit in a court room to answer for the tremendous amount of misbehavior in banking and you know this includes acts that can only be described as swindles and frauds well people have been talking about the lack of accountability ever since the financial meltdown took place three years ago but we haven't seen anybody come out onto the streets why now and do you think that this movement could end up taking america to a better place at least in terms of pushing politicians to hold someone accountable if just i do think there's a reason why we haven't seen a lot of protests the kind of things that have been happening to americans are very shameful they lose their job they lose their income they can't support their

families they can't feed their families their house gets taken away from them you know these are things that tend to be humiliating in shameful and i think that because of the way our system works where you know this is the land of freedom and liberty people blame themselves and they internalize the lot of the bad feelings and then you know they suppress it because it's shameful the combination of the shame and the anger that's all kind of mixed up with that has not really expressed itself and it may take a bit more to shove it over the edge and may take you know a bit more hardship now in one of your articles you say the hope invested in obama will end up in a museum of lost hopes along with the integrity of t.v. news i want to ask you if this were to be obama's only term as president what would he be remembered like in history well i voted for obama i think that he's probably when all is said and done he's probably a decent chap but it also appears that he's either hostage to history or

hostin. certain factions most in our culture and economy like the wall street bankers. remember over a thousand people were successfully prosecuted for the misdeeds in the savings and loan scandals of the late one nine hundred eighty s. and early one nine hundred ninety s. no significant figure from the banking community has really been even sat in a courtroom and had to answer for any of their their deeds you know there have been a couple of fluky cases including bernie made off you know these are outliers these are the marginal cases but really the heart of the system hasn't been touched i think that. mr obama will be remembered as kind of a spectacular failure and i also think that this is a period of history that is comparable to the eighteenth fifty's in the usa that

was the period that preceded the civil war and it was a period in which political institutions were failing you know an interesting thing happens in situations like this institutions lose what's called legitimacy legitimacy a reason to exist and the faith among people who have subscribed to the their beliefs that they are worth believing in and you know we're seeing a grand failure of legitimacy now in the political system in the usa and it's rather frightening you really sort of forecast every year for for the year ahead what the united states should await and in your forecast for twenty eleven you said that the number one question really is can a political economy be floating like a when he will loon of gusts of sheer fakery how's that balloon pop yeah well i think that the air has been going out of it steadily but surprisingly slowly

for three years and you know we're the whatever pin. in this balloon you know where where it seems to be located at the moment is over europe with tremendous questions about the legitimacy of the european union and the banking sector more more generally but you know all of the banks in europe and north america are. interrelated there's no chance that what happens on one continent is not going to affect another i think that there are sooner or later we're going to see similar problems in the usa the air is going out of the balloon. it's been remarkable that the fabric of this bubble was so strong but when all is said and done it's a fabric of faith and confidence that the system is meaningful and sustainable and people are beginning to doubt that that it is if we could return to the role of the

media you return to to the this issue in your blog quite often you've written that they shout down invited guest commentators pander to their demographic and dissed their rivals for ratings what role do they play these days well you know culture goes through cycles when institutions. take various forms acquire a certain legitimacy and then blow it throw it away and i've seen it happen in my lifetime where you know the the authority of the evening news on the networks was unquestioned but what's happened is that you know i think that the media has lost its confidence it's certainly in a great state of. convulsive transition we do know that younger people tend not to really get their news from t.v. at all you know they mostly get it from the internet. there are very few kind of

vested legitimate authorities on the internet who are trust. good news bringers they all appear to have an agenda of some kind or another whether it's left wing right wing capitalist socialists you know we never won it is and you know i think we have a long way to go before any of these things are sorted out and it's one of the reasons that we can't construct a coherent narrative about what's happening to us do you think the united states could face its own per store i prefer to call it a reset because i don't think it's the end of the world or the end of culture or the end of america i think it's a reset of culture but it can be very very painful and you know there will be a lot of losses involved of of property and status and you know things that were important to people that they're going to lose and so we have to somehow be prepared for this period of history that's very difficult but i think we're

seeing is something that i did expect that we would mount a campaign to sustain the unsustainable because of our tremendous psychological investments in the stuff that we've got running you know we put all of our national treasure into building freeways and building these massive suburbs and building all of the accessories and furnishings for them you know the strip malls and the malls and all the you know all the stuff that comes with them. that's where our national wealth has gone you know we're not going to just kick it into the garbage can without a struggle. but i don't think that it's going to work very well for us anyway so the final in the final analysis what i think is going to happen is america is going to be dragged kicking and screaming into a reset of daily life james howard kunstler thank you so much your time.

much of a fight against our slovak opponent and there's great to be in the semifinal run in moscow in the home tournament and. it's yeah there was it's really bitter that played really not my best tennis today against dominika and i was trying. i was trying to do everything to do what i can and i was fighting till the end there and i believe that i can change the manager till the end i had the feeling that this can change because played against the many times she was out through a lot in the third set and i won both of that matches so i knew that everything can happen in that situation but it was an exemplary performance upon a slow growing instruction with every game between plays here in moscow and especially after a three hour marathon encounter conspirators one of the organ the quarterfinals on friday full of the noise forcible have taken things slightly easier getting to the final i so were well you know i was just playing too fast for her and that's where she was making the mistakes you know and it's never easy if you're in such

a society and then you just have to bump yourself. into being out a second so you know i was just a little bit later sleepy you know and i had thought i had dog and begin to imagine just start of a thing again. most of the russians left on the women's side of the draw and away from i'll go on for another year. i mean last won the ladies singles here. he's never won the w.c. a tournament will get another chance trying to win her maiden title on sunday when she plays kind of connect in the final. week of being. in another final sin in two weeks you know and it's just as a great feeling in and of course i know i don't have any tablet a title but i'm sure sooner or later it will come so i don't want to make a big deal about her than and i would just try to go out there and play my play my best tennis and both of them plenty of twists and turns and she is trying to disappoint of course the russian made these that will be a new name

a trophy to make us a book about to take some time i may be mistaken for me to see moscow now or just over an hour away from the biggest ruby clash for four years the twenty eleven world cup final bringing together all those on favorite new zealand and fronts to eden park auckland their decider a repeat of the first ever final in one nine hundred eighty seven where the all blacks prevailed the pictures you're seeing now are from this year's semi final between the kiwis and the stream yeah the host proving just to good for the eventual bronze medalists winning twenty to six the zealand tough kept the same line up for the upcoming encounter although we'll enter the game as mustn't think it's a quarter final loss to the french in two thousand and seven will ensure nothing is taken for granted. very enjoys having the underdog take in and i think that's when the french team most dangerous. i think they're written off in two thousand and seven leading into they will follow and see what they came came

out and produced so for us it's just focus on how we prepare and what we want to do in the game. but french meanwhile did what was necessary against the favored way to watch the final mark me going on steam but never looking truly solid in the nine eight when however david ellis the man in charge of the change the face and seemingly stating it is the only viable top tix for the think i am. the all blacks are after all a severe team they have a great chance to win and we'll try to do the same defending against the kiwis for the entire eighty minutes is impossible so we will have to go in the off chance of ourselves and cause problems for their defense. brings us to baseball's world series for albert two holes on the st louis cardinals were able to spend their wings in the lone star state the cards now take a two one lead over texas in the best of seven series after two holes had three
