well. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the huge earth covered. he.

says. it would all take time for you had lots of. syria is on the escalation the world guessing about what's happening opposition forces. just how many people. as officials express concern could end up being the loose. pakistan's foreign minister has told us. drone strikes that kill civilians are pushing new

recruits into the arms of the militant groups. one of the lead reportedly killed. in the cause reported. avoid the end of its financial lifeline you're watching. max kaiser this is a guy's report all about block hauls stacey max kaiser brussels discovers a new fifteen billion euro black hole in greece's finance if it is. doable

or cool. i didn't mean to tell you don't step too close to the event horizon the greek event horizon broke i'm broke i'm back oh my god i can't tell you what i saw in the black hole it was the tragedy that the humidity the gold that's all gold in there and close again to that in a moment pressure on greece's recession stricken economy has intensified after international debt inspectors it emitted an additional fifteen billion euros would be needed to fill a newly discovered black hole in the country's finances yes well we have been saying on this show for moms if not years that the game being played at the bank or level is that they put a gun to that of the government is there any more bailout money and then a few months later they say oh look we found another trillion dollars in debt we need more bailout money and this is recycled repeated and recycled again and

they amount of debt in the black hole of debt will never subside because the bailout money used to try to equalize the effects of the black call of debt is in fact itself more debt. if so facto is only going to increase the only thing different is that the words coming out of the duplicitous horrendous psychotic newscasters and bankers that you see in the mainstream media is that they confuse debt with equity well regarding greece you know its on off on off strikes violence all over the place i know you're going to be speaking to a.m.'s verified in the second half further about that but so let's move over to the united kingdom we've still got a few quid then the bank of england's glittering stash of one hundred fifty six

billion pounds in gold bars stored in former canteen under london yes according to the daily mail max cash strapped british people will breathe a sigh of relief when they see these impressive treasure troves despite the financial crisis it seems the country still has some money left in the bank of england vault underneath london well this is such a incredible law i think not of the financial press to maven report this and it all seriously because it would mean that the u.k. as the second biggest gold position in the world four thousand six hundred tons they claim they found at the very very very very very bottom of the article they do mention but sadly not all of it belongs to us some is deposited by foreign governments as well as our own it's a complete farce i mean we know that most britain has three hundred tons of gold a gordon brown sold three hundred tons of gold when the during the period of the

effects of the euro and britain would love to have four thousand tons of gold because as we enter this period of global currency war those who have the most gold are going to be the big winners like germany for example. well speaking of german gold one thing you have discussed with jim rickards is this notion that the united states could just see all of germany's gold because germany doesn't actually keep most of their gold in their own country they keep it in new york or over at west point so. is this just like a test the water is maybe you know the bank of england is saying hey look we have four thousand six hundred tons of gold how do we get it and pretend that where they came from yeah i think they are testing the waters to see if anyone claims that if anyone steps forward and says wait a minute that's our goal you can bet as well it took all of its gold back germany obviously is exposed they have sixty percent of their gold is actually held in the new york fed so this is leading up to get to this currency were gold is the central

pivot around what's the global currency wars fought speaking of the bank of england there in the next headline bank of england to print further fifty billion pounds so the bank of england's monetary policy committee is set to announce today that it is expanding its quantitative easing program from two hundred seventy five billion pounds to three hundred twenty five billion pounds so even that fake gold that hologram they presented in the previous headline that's worth half of what they've already just printed but all the quantitative easing so far quantitative easing one quantitative easing to quantitative easing three it hasn't produced any inflation it hasn't produced any job growth it hasn't produced any real uptick in wages i mean there's a big controversy in the us about the latest jobs statistic and whether there was an increase or ending griese of the testicle number of people with a job or without a job which is what got the nonsense moot point going nowhere because the bottom line is that the wage real wages are flat to down so who cares about

a monthly statistical anomaly from the b.l.s. bureau of labor statistics who are notoriously incorrect and false in their reporting to begin with the but here you have a situation of more quantitative easing which is more debt which means that the british economy will contract it's going to contract because you're adding more debt but they don't want to call it debt they call it. money they call it equity where it's just more debt so it's a psychotic a suicide mission you know. this country needs you know what this world needs we meet remake that movie charles bronson deathwish with a guy a vigilante who goes after bankers that would be a fantastic movie and i wouldn't put myself forward as a storing in that film and being the charles bronson character hollywood call me i'm going to do this film for scale oh no i think it's coming out of the black hole that hex r.g.b. after he has come up with the film just like that here's

a little clip of you confronting timmy g. hankie p. we're going to going further saying there is. your story. those i agree. to do many. yes ok that was charles bronson in a sergio leone western spaghetti western then bronson went on to make a death wish series which i like to be in a death wish moving mass keyser in the charles bronson moving stalking bankers in

new york with a big fricken gun. well max you did confront mervyn king their bank move could make pensioners poorer savers on the verge of retirement are facing the prospect of becoming permanent really poorer as the bank of england prepares to expand its program of quantitative easing otherwise it is q.e. by fifty billion pounds this week so a person about to retire will be hit by the banks who because the value of the new eighty's ball on retirement is based on returns from u.k. government bonds called gilt these investments are bought by the bank during the easing process thus driving down the yields the phrase permanently poorer stands out all the quantitative easing program so far have failed and stoking growth and wage appreciation they have made a few bankers extraordinarily wealthy they would like to increase the rate of

wealth transference from the many who will now become permanently poor to the very top one percent of the top one percent i submit to you that this is neo feudalism this is feudalism have not been full of black plague we would never would have the middle class to begin with if you recall your history this is why lords paid the peasants a few extra bucks because they had been wiped out of the plague well now the lords want to go back to the fifteenth century or the fourteenth century and say you know what we're back in charge forget the middle class it's all about indentured servitude and being permanently poor well dr ross altman director of solid over fifty's group says that savers retiring today are being locked into a lower pension for life becoming permanently poorer because of the drop an annuity rates q.e. is supposed to provide temporary boost to the economy but we need to find less damaging ways of providing such a boost so. dr altman is suggesting that instead of right now the bank of england

is going to the middleman the bank stores giving the banks there's the money and saying here banks go give it to all those peasants out there and they say it's about that so if they really wanted that however why don't they just why doesn't the bank of england actually just give that money to small businesses and small business loans it goes part and parcel with this whole the way we have knew of feudalism runs on toll booths throughout the economy that are handed these these cartels are handed to certain select elite. connected to the king in this case literally connected to mervyn king so these guys whether it's hollywood or goldman sachs if they are the middleman between the king and you the peasant it's a very profitable business so they're arguing about what's the most humane way to euthanize the middle class and poor they think well you know if we top their heads off in the public square that's a bit too harsh so we're going to give them the needle instead which is

quantitative easing or financial all pression well but speaking of central banks max facebook has filed for an i.p.o. and i want to turn to this headline here is facebook a central bank to edward castronova a telecommunications professor in indiana university says he's fascinated by the rise of what he calls wildcat currencies such as facebook credits facebook's build up of credit suggest more than just some minor dalliance facebook already takes payments for credits in more than forty currencies ranging from the euro to the vietnamese dong exchange rates are just a daily and probably won't be long until some economist tries to calculate the inflation rate money supply velocity or other traditional dimensions of the facebook economy now max you are the world's first virtual central banker you are doctors zero say h s x so what are your thoughts on the story that's absolutely right this is a virtual currency then you need a virtual central banker to deal in the monetary policies that will affect the

virtual the economy but this is basically inflationary on the one side of the equation but the net result will be hours and hours of loss from the productive economy from people wasting time on facebook so in a way it's and that deflation because although you can flood the facebook economy with more credits the net result will be people not working but wasting time so it's a way to increase the deflationary trend by issuing a credit. not backed by debt but it's backed by wasting time this is the first currency will not the first i trade the first one of course back in one thousand nine hundred six with a hollywood dollar and the central banker but this is a currency backed by time wasting well finally on this headline max is the currency traded on facebook and the question i think is answered that when facebook filed their i.p.o. market in his letter did say that his anger was crucial to the success of facebook

zynga soared sixteen point four percent and then two and a half percent and the after market on the news so i think it does answer the question whether or not facebook is a central bank thank you so much stacey however i'll be speaking with yanis varoufakis after the break a greek economist. should be a fantastic thank you thank you ranks don't go away much more coming why stay right there. you. the official tee up location your phone on the pod touch from the. light on the good. video on demand. smiling

old calls. or a sense feed now in the palm of your. question on the dot com. welcome back to the kaiser report kaiser time to go to athens greece and speak with a catalyst professor and author dr yes vero fake yanis welcome to the kaiser report thank you it's a delight being here. here's the headline no reforms no bailout what's the latest drawing in the greek belov drama up well it's half it is a simple story this deal is. going to fail just like the previous one in may two thousand and ten because you have a bankrupt entity that exists and you keep piling you debts on it. on condition that the this country is going to shrink its national income from which was this

will have to be based further and some point the german taxpayers have had enough and this is the problem the german the german political elites arlene it kind will . come to the general the german elected and all of this drama enough insists completely besides the point it's aims like a case really a financial sadism in other words if there are a number of ways to extricate greece from this problem one would be for example to prosecute the bank the bank or say fraud certainly god greece or the arrow to begin with but none of the obvious solutions are. being pursued instead they're going down the path of very slowly beating greece to death in a very sadistic way is it the i.m.f. now christine legarde is it just

a case of sadists. having fun with chris i mean is worse than that might think it's a case of subtle masochism you always need to do with greece is to allow it to default to face the truth of the it's a bankrupt state. and then to find out what to do about the banks and who got it allows them if they want to do that but of course they're not doing this because they got it allays ation legally speaking means that. the current owners of these banks will see their holdings their shareholdings being simply de looted by the european state and so they're about the bankers don't want to hear of this one receiving free money from these would be from the dark spirits of germany and holland zones of world so that germany's leaders of that effectively dug a big hole for themselves and if live fallen in it now of course the people were actually suffer in terms of. basic.
