more than california the content copyright cartel is in southern california but is it just the sunshine in the end the dope and the drugs that make them impervious to what's going on well i think it's what we're seeing all over the world as old ways of doing business are just no longer viable and no longer productive this is kind of an evolution and i think it's a healthy one where we see more access to copy by more people instead of people holding on trying to squeeze the last nickel out of a lot of an orange now be we've seen a really almost like a move barack style crackdown on the internet by the u.s. government over the past year what do you make of that we had the big crackdown on make recently which was a big blow which prompted an immediate response from around the net and in the community anonymous struck back i found it hard to have a lot of sympathy for a mega upload having been in film myself and having my income depend upon back in net profits which never appeared but nonetheless i don't think it's

a major blow and i'm much more concerned about what's hidden behind the soap boxes simpson poses atlee as a measure to protect. legitimate copyright or ownership interest for creative works i think there's a much deeper agenda to shut off websites like yours mine and many others around the net that's that's that's buried in the language of the act all right but. aside from the obvious censoring what they would love to do in the us because they hate the idea of competition but getting back to the broader issue of copyright itself copyright needs to be the extensions the term extensions of the past couple of decades should be repealed to keep to be in keeping with the constitution and the idea of fair use the fact they've been allowed to extend out to a lifetime plus seventy five years is a heinous misuse and misinterpretation of what a copyright should be a year in that camp or do you see it differently. absolutely i think that you know

we live in an era of shortages and one of the big shortages out here is access to good reliable critical information by large numbers of people who can benefit from it and this is a choke on that ok so as a content creator yourself you're weighing the the the benefits of perpetual copyright as lawrence lessig would call it versus open free communications and you feel that the critique communications uncensored communication far outweighs in terms of importance in terms of protecting a few a couple hundred thousand filmmakers and porno makers and in l.a. now the national defense authorization act the n.d.a. has also making its way through congress at the same time as sopa are these two related do you see that a relationship. indeed in that both are serious assaults on basic liberties protected by the bill of rights in the u.s. constitution you know and they come at it from different directions but it's part

of a broader overall agenda which we've seen since the patriot act in two thousand and one of the government of corporations having ever more control on what we see here and what we can say now chris changes is one of these guys that i would imagine the government would love to marginalize even more than they've already marginalized by not having him on mainstream television he thinks that the n.d.a. is basically allowing for the indefinite military detention of american citizens as it relates to the upcoming financial collapse so they're kind of making some some moves here because they know that this u.s. economy is in the process of free falling do you see that absolutely no question there has been and we've been tracking this the collapse of the for well over a year now as as as this tightening down has taken place and we saw it with the art . movement also in which i was deeply involved that that the government through

whether through homeland security or any parts of the federal government and state governments are are doing everything they can to choke off and preemptively prepare for what they know is going to be civil unrest and i also think they're trying to stir it up themselves so that they can dig advantage of it where the brutal crackdown so not earlier we were reporting on india circumventing the u.s. sanctions on iran by using rupees to buy oil this follows on similar from china and russia. so these big trading blocks are bypassing the dollar completely and shunning the dollars walters' of currency and of course that's one of the keys for the american empire to continue if that goes then the u.s. loses that signora and having the global currency and it's another nail in the coffin there's a make any sense for that policy in the u.s.

well clearly what's happened here and i think united states is is really getting pushed back severely on all fronts what if the u.s. gave an oil embargo and nobody came and that's exactly what happened china japan and korea india have all said no we're going to continue to buy iranian oil and in fact chinese purchases of iranian oil is gone up thirty percent in the last year which is confirming for the basic theory and concept of peak oil there is no place to go to replace iranian oil the saudis can not up production now what's happening with this and you're absolutely right is we're seeing major moves sometimes on an ad hoc quick basis but i think some are more orchestrated. for the far east where there's a dollar free zone truth for nations clearly to liberate themselves from from the dollar denominated trap that's there and those moves i think are taking place very quickly and i think what we're seeing now is an. only going to accelerate that

there is clearly a shift of economic power away from the west europe and the us obviously in decline with relatively speaking china more ascendant more powerful certainly they have a lot of cash and a lot of power so i think that all these moves by the west detached from reality as they usually are are just accelerating the decline of western economic power and influence our let's start my era for a second and get your take on this again kind of my my thought exercise curious what you think here you have a country greece they were tricked into the europe by goldman sachs who committed massive accounting fraud we now know that there's no no doubts about this as a result they now are being asked to suffer through massive austerity measures while outside governments and corporations seize control of their income producing assets now on top of this we now they're being told that they can

a poor oil from iran because of the this skirmish between that rat israel they don't get a lot of so greece can't have any more oil what's authorises going to crush their economy even more who decided that greece suddenly had to go the way of all flesh and be terminated what why is grace and how did that happen it's the same bunch of idiots that have been running everything else but i notice in the stories today it's big breaking news that the e.u.'s supposedly banned iranian oil imports that's going to be a joke and it's going to hurt nobody except europe because nobody else is going along with it but in the fine print which i found in a reuters story this morning this ban does not take effect until july and there are side pocket exemptions being granted all over the place so this is a toothless embargo but you know it's it's if we expected sanity to work in these markets max you and i would have been crazy a long time ago i mean there's. none of this makes sense from from an overt plainly

logical step by step analysis. every nation in europe is going to get hurt and i don't they get you know. all the system is capable of doing right now because it's so detached from honest dealing with the reality of the world around that it's shooting itself in the foot and that's what we've seen since two thousand and eight and i my group you mention oh these markets are insane they're getting more crazy i mean this is actually a theme of davus this year they're saying that we need to re-examine this entire model of capitalism and also that david cameron is the prime minister of britain has come out recently said we need to move toward another what he called moral capitalism so the entire model of capitalism has been understood is now under threat. what what is the what's the problem number one and number two other any simple tweaks changes that could be applied to kind of recalibrate this this is

this freight train a capitalist capitalism gone off the tracks and. for for me to make it easier for me to function safely with the question i would replace the word capitalism with organized crime and all that we're seeing from the movies from davos david cameron and everybody else you and i both know this is the organized crime people trying to exert more control and somehow smooth out the wrinkles in their criminal mechanism . like a very easy for me last august when conceptually i just took a step back from everything that was happening in greece in the build up to the european crisis which is here now and i said wait a minute all these trillions of dollars of bailouts which are being printed right now require growth above two thousand and seven levels and with the i don't know how many thirteen fifteen twenty trillion stupid number floating out there the physical growth required to satisfy the obligations in the infinite growth paradigm . repaying with interest is not possible because of resource limitations whether

it's oil energy physical goods or the raw materials used the kind of growth required to pay all this off is just not possible and i've got to stop there and back off but i'd say i'm just going to watch these idiots shoot themselves in the foot because we know what the end game has to be because of physical laws rather than press releases right that's an interesting point there they the g.d.p. growth needed to work off the present load of debt would require a certain number of barrels of oil to work its way through the economy roughly one trillion barrels of oil and that one trillion barrels of oil does not exist therefore it would be impossible to work off this debt so debt jubilee at some point is a dead certainty i would imagine your thought is if it comes sooner is better than later i gave a speech in portland oregon september eleventh in which i said that mass universal universal debt forgiveness between. sovereigns and corporations that includes the

banks between corporations and corporations and people and corporations is going to have to be wiped out you have to hit that reset otherwise you create the same rickety italian cruise ship that's ready to hit on the rocks the moment the wind changes all right my group at runtime thanks so much for being on the kaiser report always a pleasure max 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 guest mike rupert of collapse and net dot com you can send me an e-mail at kaiser reported r t t v dot ru you can follow me on twitter just go to max kaiser and until next time this is max keiser saying by all.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images grope world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing operations to rule the day. one person has been killed in an attack on a school in russia's volatile north caucuses there were no children inside we've got the latest on this developing story just ahead. i i the polish people on a march against a country signing up to a multinational piracy. people fear that some of these documents will give corporations too much power to take regular users offline i would spoil you why in just a few moments. and the rand friends to cut off its oil supply the euro before the

e.u. trade balance with curbing to rand's nuclear program comes into force in july. live from moscow at midnight this is our very warm welcome to you my name is kevin and our developing news story than one person has been killed it's been reported in the last hour at a school in russia's volatile north caucasus the attackers have now fled the city security services say there were no children involved in this incident at that school at the time let's get a. corpse's correspondent within a culture which is reported extensively from the area but medina tonight you're back in moscow unless you very much across what is happening here what do we know at this point the news wires you see them coming in the last hour in some ways it appears the scary going to leave this information was one man was killed during the school siege scene of the republic of two bodies in the balcony in russia's north

caucasus and this man is reported to be a serviceman aged twenty seven at first also there were reports that there were up to you or seven people taking hostage ina the school of building but clearly this is. for me shin was denied and what we know so far is that just three armed man stormed the building of the school and at that time several people were playing volleyball in the sport hall and also at that moment there were no children in the building right now the attackers have laughed at the area of the school but the police blocked the whole neighborhood and the search operation continues now of course with police investigating the incident is not the first terror attack in the region sadly as it. indeed. the capital of focus but you know about a republican was a witness to a number of violent accidents in the past couple of months and two just recently in

november last year seven militants were killed during an anti terror operation also . were early locals managed to prove beyond a major terror attack over the city when they found a hidden bomb at the same time in the same month were several militants were also killed in another anti terror operation and there were reports that they were planning our major attack over at the inter ministry of the region so yes indeed this is a region of the you know about tyrion republic in russia's north caucasus remains a very volatile filed all right thanks for bringing us up to date then did a coalition of the north caucuses correspond with. key websites were hijacked to thousands of internet freedom supporters marched outside a major two pronged protest in poland is because the country is just signed up to a global web piracy part covering everything from movies and music to fashion

pharmaceuticals but it's not stretches wide ati's election as your skis in warsaw to explain a bit more. well this document called the courtesy trade agreement which has been signed by poland and many other countries other countries in fact including the united states. new zealand and others is the reason why thousands of people are taking to the streets in poland is the reason why most of the governmental web sites in this country have been hijacked by the hacker groups including the anonymous hacker group which is well known across the world basically this agreement is all about protecting the intellectual property including movies books pharmaceuticals designer clothes and things like that but ordinary people fear that the big corporations will use it to police the web and to take regular users offline so we've seen lots of protests in poland as i mentioned in the last several days we are also seeing protests being held today in the cities of new britain and

then in central poland we are expecting more protests tomorrow on friday more so the problem about this document is that it was worked out in complete secrecy bypassing all governments and the general public had no access to it so that's why the regular users are afraid that this document would be used against them i'll just give you a simple example for instance you create a website and you put links to your favorite movies on this website and big corporations can in fact start a criminal case against you saying that you violate the agreement so nobody knows to what extent the corporations can go in using this document in fact misusing this document as the protesters here in poland and everywhere they protest against it certainly has some resemblance to the american soap bill which is also being discussed in the united states but the difference is that the bill is a more american local thing the act is definitely international and it will concern

all countries which sign it in we are certainly in possibly for more protests across the european continent we should see. with the latest from poland we'll let's talk go live to manage to talk to a lost case from the u.k. pirate party laws very good a big thanks for going to see you i gather already very internet advocate all good stuff but i must put you buy low and copyright infringement to occur are you making the problem worse if you help on stealing the first place i guess the obvious question is governments would need to be so draconian would they over the years well well let's let's look at actually what's taking place in the moment this is part of a line along a long line of attacks on civil liberties and internet freedom the agreement is just the latest in. these moves that we've seen now. the person interviewed mentioned the agreement which was already dropped by the

united states under a wave of wave of protests now the actor agreement has the potential to be just as dangerous or even more so to the very fabric of the internet and our economy is so so that it. really what is the problem now the question is under the name of dealing with copyright infringement it's actually going to mean that there's going to be an arms an acceptable level of surveillance on all of our internet connections essentially what this agreement does is the turns your internet service provider into a kind of police officer and that's really one of the problems about the changes that this agreement bring this about makes a copyright infringement a criminal offense which is in fact entirely new move ok i mean i might not be getting the point here but i'm just being devil's advocate as well i don't i start

on either side getting movies music for free is basically stealing is it not i mean sure the government is all right well. one measures to stop right there. i mean well one of us one of the telling you one of the things the extraordinary well one of the extraordinary things is that the music industry in the film industry would have us believe that there is a crisis because of so-called piracy there is no crisis in fact last year u.s. news excels hit an all time high hollywood can still continues to see continues to see extraordinary box office read list but is it right for you to judge now if you are really behind your ideas who are you to say that they have every last penny that they say they did well the point is yes the point is that there are entirely legitimate channels for for for redress what we're saying that this is that this is

entirely draconian agreement which is also entirely unnecessary it will in fact have a chilling effect on the working of the internet it's going to mean that also sites particularly use of content generated sites are going to have to do an enormous amount of due diligence it's going to have a chilling effect on innovation why do. people need you tube or flicker so why do you think about thirty one of the. yes well one of the one of the things is. that the universe and its states is continuing to push its own agenda this is been negotiated in secret behind closed doors it's time for the citizens of europe had a true voice in addressing dressing this draconian and unnecessary agreement and we'll see more protests like we've seen in poland this this agreement affects everyone because it's about food patron saint of seeds it's about drugs it's about

your health it's also about our shared culture and it's time that we start we stand up and how our politicians to work out laws folks are making a point loss kerry there from the party alive on r.t. thank you. switch off it's all supplies to europe before the e.u. and bugger comes into force in july parliament will discuss next week whether to make the move the e.u. decided to stop buying a rainy no oil in a bid to force to back into talks over its nuclear program sure and show favor from the campaign against sanctions and military intervention in iran explain what message this move sense to you. the grace period that the vision for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands another issue is that it shows a complex city of feeling in domestic politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds and that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just

sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty of the wrong there it shows the disconnect between. his harlem and him people because this is a model is not something which is going to be to the benefit of european results and there's also a disconnect between european governments and their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about at the at the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petrol dollar this is a very good thing in their lot longer and of course they re the middle class the small businesses that actually do business with your pin businesses they're all going to suffer but that is. wrong claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independence for iraq as a whole as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign

businesses. on the way if you really it's double or so versus the crisis. global political and economic leaders meet here at the world economic forum to tackle the euro zone crisis and also the arab spring meanwhile those who protested activists that want their voices heard from a lot out. of the international medical charity doctors without borders the suspending its mission in the libyan city of misrata because of torture curried out had to turn to centers that they say they repeatedly treated patients who'd been suffering under interrogation while also the u.n. is concerned about the conditions in which. eight thousand five hundred people are being held in the country where several detainees are reportedly died it's up to speed on this and talked to political analyst glazebrook get his thoughts he's joining us live from london there hi dan they've only officials have repeatedly promised suddenly to tackle the abuses which is said to be stating libya's record of abuse surely not the new page that many had been hoping for in

a new country is it. well actually is new is new really because people have an image sometimes of his regime of this horrible kind of. torture and killings but i've actually been scouring through the human rights watch reports of the five years leading up to the rebellion october last year and that whole five year period there was a three possible death in custody that human rights watch wanted investigated now if you consider in britain in august alone of last month we had four deaths in custody as including in our execution of mark duggan and two deaths by beating to death by the police jacob michaels and. so you know the british police committed more human rights abuse in a single month last year than they did get after five years or actually this this is new but it's not new since the fall of certainly the fall of gadhafi as it started with the very beginning of the rebellion the very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion and eighteenth of february fifty

african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death by the rebels and this really set the tone and this kind of behavior by the rebels now the so-called government has continued ever since you say down the so-called government there so ok allegedly with blood on the hands of the new government what can the signal is the m.t.c. sending to the west the west of course supported the country's transition to democracy. well it's really the signal signals that matter the signals the west sends to the m.d.c. the west in control of the m.d.c. installed them in power they understand that they don't have popular support is nato support the put them into power and maintain power so the. m.d.c. they've they've expressed support for this kind of. given up mixed messages. when the town after a while ago was ethnically cleansed of all ten thousand was black residents last year then president of the m.d.c.

mahmoud jibril he actually said. how he was questioned about it and he said well what happens to the people to work is the business of the people of misrata no one else's business that was given the green light for the torture and execution that we're seeing now but actually has been continuous since the very start of the uprising. we've all been witness in the last couple of days renewed clashes between n.c.c. forces and former regime supporters in libya now again these are new reports as well about these cases of abuse if they are true the idea of the united libya seems as far away as ever doesn't it. yeah absolutely and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule is the oldest imperial trick in the book and this is exactly what they're implying i mean if you look at the destabilization strategy that they're employing is very precise and they followed it very precisely in afghan and afghanistan and iraq as well what do they do first of all they destroy completely the existing state state operators produced ok or so and then now this is the interesting part they plan from the electoral process the biggest most

popular and most organized political grouping in the country they did this in iraq with the part of the occasion they did this in afghanistan continuing to this day to deny any meaningful. part of the taliban in the political process and now they're doing in libya just recently the m.d.c. announced no doubt the prompting of his western paymasters that the new electoral role law would be that gadhafi loyalists so-called would be barred from taken part in the election so this is a clear recipe for civil war if you're buying the most organized most popular grouping in the country from participation the form of political process what else are they going to do to influence it by force of arms and this is exactly what we're seeing but this is not new again this is what they've done in iraq and afghanistan has created deliberately the conditions for civil war because they're scared of these countries which are resource rich countries at least in the case of

iraq and libya instead of them being independent countries that are able to have some regional influence in the world so sorry to say so we're out of time i'm afraid down but thank you very much we thought there from from london. no it's the second day of business he also is the world's financial decision makers and top brass politicians make new plans to keep the global crisis of making some profit along the way too may be also on the table at the world economic forum in switzerland is followed from the arab uprisings and finding ways to try to breathe new life back into the struggling eurozone wrapping it all up parties loyalist are in force today we heard from david cameron u.k. prime minister who had my different message than what we heard from angela merkel yesterday when she opened up davos so david cameron came out and said the number of things she believes the euro zone needs a quick speedy resolution agreed.
