10:32 am
this is the major global swap meet for dealers of weapons of mass financial destruction and they compare notes on how to destroy each other's economies for fun and profit stays in herbert max if you do a google search for davros two thousand and twelve you will find out why the banks tours are behind so why they want sopa because as you see the first two results are world economic forum that's actually the group that puts on davros number three result is from max keiser dot com that's before say and then before the telegraph before the guardian before all the international news media where first and what does it link to but original artwork from william bond's i seven you can see this right here davus two thousand and twelve too many banker species one planet no future world poncing nomic summit many species that got the gorillas the central bankers they've got the primary dealers i think there's twenty eight of them these are the ferrets that are kind of. you know meant manipulating markets to try to
10:33 am
ease that push of quantitative easing into the global economy well max let's turn to some banker species in the headline the first one the correlation of laughter f o m c meetings this is the central banker species the f o m c is the federal open market committee at which the polar bear oh sets global interest rates well apparently somebody had the clever idea of actually looking through the transcripts of the meetings and they found that the number of recorded laughs actually increased in frequency from two thousand to two thousand and six the peak of the global financial bubble in two thousand and one the fed f o m c erupted into laughter sixteen point five times per meeting on average in two thousand and three it was over nineteen in two thousand and five twenty seven and then in two thousand and six the f o m c burst into laughter nearly forty four times per meeting yes because they should be printing money or doing something responsible but instead
10:34 am
they're stroking this money. there is. who are federal reserve germans who you know the problem is that this stuff can make you see hallucinations which i'm not this is the listeners guys are selling their stone and saying. well. this is some quality money printing i can't believe this quantitative easing work and i got a nickel bag of this and they think you got my run on holy smokes. well yes so they were laughing all the way to the top here's another species of banker max it looks like these people are followers of maybe timothy leary goldman sachs enters a billion pound parallel pay universe a billion pound parallel universe drop out and pay or suffer huge bonus until they've larry said that in between as a hit well of course many people. get
10:35 am
a bad batch of l.s.d. often are found standing on the edge of buildings saying i'm god i could fly but that some guy carries over the new york fed i'm flying look at things in titanic he's a titanic the entire economy sinking anything is getting a hug by leonardo dicaprio while payout by investment bank equating to two hundred thirty eight thousand per employee provokes anger among unions in the u.k. but you always did say max that they have they would have to go off planet to pay off all the derivatives they've spun so well look i mean the unions are upset but the unions have no place at the table the unions have been. taken out of the equation many years ago this is a battle between savers versus speculators that's the battle unions and jobs are gone it's only about people who have capital want to save and get an interest rate on savings versus borrowers want to low interest rate on those things to borrow and speculate get bailed out actually max ok this brings me to the next species the banker and that's the global organizations like the i.m.f.
10:36 am
and world bank because the i.m.f. christine lagarde said that we need to bring unions back to the table because i am a foreigner of threat to global economies posed by austerity drives reflecting that i'm less concerned about over aggressive deficit reduction programs the joint statement said governments should manage fiscal consolidation to promote rather than reduce prospects for growth and employment it should be applied and socially responsible manner well let me explain something i'll give you a lesson in economics in twenty seconds it's centrally planned its central bank plan its low interest rates to favor speculators to the point where unsustainability has now gripped the global economy by the throat forcing one of two outcomes and there are only one of two outcomes a bank central banks begin to raise interest rates which would in fact spur interbank lending. which would be inflationary which is what they want to curb this
10:37 am
deflationary nightmare or big they raise minimum wage they double or triple minimum wage that would also cause inflation that would also cure the problem those are the only two outcomes raise rates of interbank lending or raise minimum wage to suggest anything else. is is only favoring the speculators and the borrowers to the detriment of everybody else who's not one of those people who are borrowing with impunity with zero risk remember they're not taking risks like mitt romney over you know graduate of being capital when they were out there in the private equity space slashing and burning companies left and right remember he took his zero risk his cost of capital was zero and the cost of making a mistake was zero he's just a guy who steals money who doesn't drink coffee so christine lagarde is saying that
10:38 am
governments in europe should stop cutting things and actually start investing and in particular investments to target civilians in education and thus equip people for the future but of course the last thirty years of these banking species are running the world has been the exact opposite it's been the bain capital model of extracting as much equity as possible from your community including the capital of human knowledge right well kristie look there are enough to give for enough ammunition to duke it out there at the i.m.f. level of sums some kind of gravity to us if they're not going to raise the wages for workers or give them some education then you've got to start raising rates at the central bank level those are your two choices so present it in this way and give them the you know either or solution because if she just goes down one path and leaves other one completely unguarded she will not make any traction in her
10:39 am
arguments whatsoever of course the other way to look at it is that the i.m.f. the day before had only requested an additional six hundred billion dollars from the taxpayers of the world so maybe she's trying to pretend to them make a false promise that hey we're going to invest back in new and hopefully you'll have a better future oh yeah she's she's just the stupid old old the. bag she knows what to say to get people to write the checks is a good saleswoman but she's a she's she's an assassin because these policies are killing people with their collateral damage of risk balls exploding in people's faces and destroying their lives that's terrorism well the another banking species max is the famine victim hedge funds may sue greece if it tries to force loss so hedge funds are considering suing greece and the european court of human rights after greece said that they're basically demanding a fifty to sixty seventy percent haircut for these bondholders well i'm ok so the
10:40 am
hedge funds are going to sue greece right now and then the european human rights court right because they know that they're the ones that are heading to the hague in these human rights court so the best defense is a good oftens because they're trying to deflect their prosecutions in these human rights courts they're trying to deflect this nuremberg trial for hedge funds and private equity groups like like romney's bain capital because they know that they'll be at the head at the end of a noose so they take the off and they say oh it's the greek people need to be the greeks oh we're going to sue greece because we raped and pillaged them for going to show them i mean this is an old strategy and the greek people i'm sorry that your country has been sold to fresh food franchises and cell phone networks but hey five thousand years of history you had a good run well i just mentioned the famine victims here is that the banker who's had too many munchies i guess you could say over his lifetime surely president
10:41 am
obama is joking about this have larry summers run the world bank thing so larry summers apparently has been is being floated as a possible world bank chief had floated a floated yet like a big giant macy's day balloon which which but the article points to a the ron suskind book confidence men and it talks about some little bits from inside that book inside the obama white house and one of the interesting things is that apparently larry summers. threw major hissy fits when he was not nominated to be ben bernanke to be the central bank chief to replace alan greenspan in particular he got very angry with timothy geithner who didn't support his nomination so this is what he wanted to be he wanted to be the pullup bureau in chief the fat cat top smoking those obama dollars who's a fatter pig is it larry summers or chris christie i have to look that up who's the
10:42 am
biggest pig but you know the fact is that larry summers and the readers editorials in the financial times are preposterous because you keep harping on about the same thing for years now we just need to increase demand increase demand increase demand by stoking the markets with more credit and giving people more means to borrow more money to go out there and demand never to as you say that there should be maybe a supply maybe a supply of manufactured goods for example maybe savings that would create capital for your capital's model he never talks about supply he only talks about demand and how to increase demand as if we're living on a planet that can support hundreds of millions of people in the us and billions of people around the world all demanding stuff and borrowing money to get that fulfill their demand but never ever actually manufacturing a single thing unless you're at foxconn a hundred thousand sleighs making i pods and i pads all day so that people in new york and flash around central park with their little gadgets making googly eyes at
10:43 am
each other even though they're supporting slave labor you know there has been a massive supply of financial products under him a massive supply of fraudulent financial products he was actually pushing alan greenspan to be less regulating of fraud and alan greenspan was one of the maestro's of allowing fraud to flourish as a way to provide liquidity to the markets ok let's examine that for a second the supply of financial products that are all based on debt and debt is the killer. of the economy and people demanding more debt is not the same thing as fulfilling all supplied her with a demand curve this guy larry summers is an abomination everything touches turns to garbage he uses position in government to invest in things like square that new online start up company insider trading inside information market manipulation another terrorist christine legarde some of the egg to hang them all states never
10:44 am
don't go away stay right there all going to talk about more stuff you to stay there . welcome back to the kaiser report i mean no state servant we're talking about the global preeminent. for financial terrorist to gather and swap ideas about financial
10:45 am
weapons of mass destruction out of blow up countries make money so what else you got for me those days are over well max we've already established that the regulators bankers economists and all or all of the are there stowed in their own money supply i think we've shown that pretty convincingly. and they're all meeting in davus now here's robert johnson an economist and a former currency trader for soros another big name always appearing at davus and he says economy as a profession see how to keep economists from missing the next financial crisis notice that he says financial crisis is not financial crime wave and i think that's an important thing to think about here he says that it's all about the mathematical models in particular that we need to really look at these financial market models for instance he says tend to be constructed with building blocks that assume stable and anchored expectations but as far back as one nine hundred twenty one frank knight of the university of chicago made the useful distinction between measurable
10:46 am
risk and unknown unknowns which he called radical uncertainty nice point was that in a period of radical uncertainty expectations couldn't be anchored because they have nothing to latch on to well this is an ongoing debate and economics and finance and what people fail to understand is that the liquidity the capital that's used to fuel capitalism come. overwhelmingly from the losers the people who make losing bets the people who make losing option bets the people make losing bets on all kinds of investments that money gets recycled into the economy and gets used by those who are able to make better bets who make better use of that capital if in fact you had an economic model that would give some predictability to outcomes then you would eliminate the entire c.
10:47 am
speculative capital that forms the basis of what we call free market capitalism so it's very premise is faulty to the core it shows a complete lack of understanding of markets and finance it shows a slavish devotion to academic theories that have long been discredited and it shows a major media who is incapable of challenging the charlatans what i'm saying is that he's failing to account for crying and crying doesn't fit into any financial model that we are presently using if i steal your rabbit that's not in any sort of model that is going to explain how to operate the global economy well that's not necessarily true because piracy is a concept is understood was the driving force for example of the american economy the term yankee comes from a version of the dutch word for pirate or things.
