welcome back it's good to have you with us on this sunday here i'll see the week's top stories for you now nato is preparing to leave libya saying it's a cheap its goals after the killing of colonel gadhafi there are fears of the country could now be plunged into a. more. e.u. leaders are meeting in brussels to brainstorm ways to save the eurozone and slash greece's enormous comes off of the greek government approved another round of my watering cuts to secure a bailout leading to a two day strike clashes with police. and ethnic serbs prevent nato from dismantling the barricades at a disputed border crossing in northern gaza vote on friday peacekeeping troops using tear gas to disperse hundreds of locals who sat on the road to stop. the occupy wall street movement is now. starting talks toward the run james

about the phenomenon and how it could influence america's future he watching. archie sitting down with author blogger and public speaker james howard kunstler so i think so much for joining us it's nice to be here let's get started with the occupy wall street movement has seen many media outlets try to ridicule them marginalize this movement as something that's temporary and really anarchist teenage behavior and you've essentially called this bogus in your blog let's talk about that what is your take on wall street well first of all it's hilarious 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 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 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 seeing the 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 go 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 were 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 facts that can only be described as swindles and frauds well people have been talking about the lack of accountability

ever since the financial meltdown some 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 i'm not seeking america to a better place at least in terms of pushing power of 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 or draw up 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 and 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 a 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 hoping vested 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 charm as president what would he be remembered like in history well i voted for obama i think that he's probably all said and done he's probably a decent chap but it also appears that he's either hostage to history or hostin. to certain factions most in our culture and economy like the wall street bankers and. 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 court room 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 eight hundred 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 the year ahead what the united states should await i mean your forecast for twenty eleven you said that the number one question really is kind of political economy floating like a when he that google loon of gusts of sheer fakery. balloon popped yeah well i think that the error has been going out of it steadily but surprisingly slowly for three years and you know we're the whatever peer. prick in this balloon you know where we are it seems to be located at the moment there's 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 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 this issue in your blog quite often you've written that shout down invited guest commentators pander to their demographic and just their rivals for ratings what role do they play these days well you know culture goes through cycles where 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 a left wing right wing capitalist socialist you know we are one 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 and i prefer to call that 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 in the vault 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 oracle your time.
