2:24 pm

2:29 pm
we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least.
2:30 pm
with. its technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. this is our top stories now that egypt's streets. again exactly a year after president mubarak was forced from power protesters are calling for the military to step down immediately accusing them of hindering reform. more pressure as part of the syrian regime and the new resolution blaming it at the u.n. general assembly state t.v. says an army general was assassinated in the capital damascus the first killing of a high ranking military officer since protests began. reporting that greek
2:31 pm
lawmakers pander to brussels with more cuts in exchange for cash while people fight their frustration on the streets of athens six ministers have resigned in protest of the plan which now has to be given the green light by parliament. but up to date with more on those stories and other developments in hof an hour from now in the meantime. offer more of their unique financial insights in the latest edition of the kaiser report here on r.t. . i'm max keiser this is the kaiser report we got him just where we want to go thanks climax this first headline is the theme of the show ok it's all new akbar alou gold bar we're all terrorists now believe in a return to the gold standard you are now officially an extremist according to the
2:32 pm
f.b.i. yeah we got of just where we want to you know they're trying to keep the gold price keep because it makes a mockery of the u.s. dollar so the f.b.i. is saying if you buy gold you're a terrorist thus increasing the panic buying of gold around the world this is just like the federal reserve chairman ben bernanke trying to talk his way into some kind of economic nirvana which is failed miserably now the f.b.i. believes that their hospitality economists are going to talk cold down there right that's going to happen if any it's clearly going to cause more panic buying i would have bought more. in fact is actually worse than what this headline from zero hedge suggests they are saying that if you believe in a return to the gold standard you're in extremis according to the f.b.i. in fact is actually if you think that the u.s. government went bankrupt by going off the gold standard you're an extremist now now
2:33 pm
look at the full context however of the f.b.i. warning f.b.i. warns of threats from anti-government extremists now if it weren't for the goal warning you would think these were bankers anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the united states the f.b.i. warned on monday these extremist sometimes known as sovereign citizens believe they can live outside any type of government authority the f.b.i. said the extremists may refuse to pay taxes defy government environmental regulations and believe the united states went bankrupt by going off a gold standard why no i don't like the way they refer to the past and they say the f.b.i. is saying that the united states went bankrupt when they got off the gold standard guess what the u.s.
2:34 pm
got off the gold standard and they filled the economy worth of now fifteen plus trillion in debt that's true if they went bankrupt so the f.b.i. is saying if in fact you pick up a history book if you look at the facts on the internet if you speak with a neighbor about the fact of the reality of the bankruptcy the united states oh you're going to we're going to come after you and we're going to cause massive global panic buying of gold because this whole smart we are the f.b.i. mentions that these so-called sovereign citizens are committing many crimes mostly white collar crimes of fraud they say again if it were not for that one single sentence of gold standard issue you would not. no the difference between who they are talking about and bankers how many taxes did goldman sachs or j.p. morgan pay last year max about one percent of income general electric zero ok so the these extremist refused to pay taxes how many regulations does jamie diamond
2:35 pm
say he wants to abide by. he goes to other countries like canada and gets them to go around their own regulations exactly however we're going to turn to some more extremism max how your dollar got to be worth just three point eight cents this is an extremist chart from credit suisse bank on the extremist web site business insider dot com and you can see from the chart on the read the rising prices notice how prices really started to take off max after nineteen seventy one the blue is the purchasing power in one thousand nine hundred dollars now notice the two huge catastrophic drops of about fifty percent at a ten year period when your purchasing power dropped by fifty percent the first time one nine hundred ten to one nine hundred twenty what happened in that ten year period. the federal reserve was created then the second one thousand nine hundred seventy two one thousand eighty do you remember what happened in that ten year
2:36 pm
period max unlike me we went off the gold standard so this is an extremist chart you might be arrested for looking at it. if that's correct as you point out from one nine hundred seventy one when the u.s. went off the gold standard to the president the dollar lost like ninety seven percent of its value it's about believe it or not it's about to lose another sixty or seventy percent of its value ben bernanke is self in his recent testimony said by inflation targeting he wants the us to lose thirty three percent of its purchasing power over the next five to six years ok so all the f.b.i. is definition they should be frog marching ben bernanke out of the federal reserve into the prison system but i don't get it was worth the double standard that oh that's right you're panic people buy into panic buying of gold smart move now again we're going to turn to an extremist series of maps here and you'll find that in
2:37 pm
fact. the reason why the f.b.i. is warning i believe a against people saying the u.s. went bankrupt by going off the gold standard if you look at these series of charts from one nine hundred seventy to one thousand nine hundred to one thousand nine hundred to two thousand what you notice is that in fact in one nine hundred seventy the u.s. was already bankrupt and then they went off the gold standard if you look at the rest of the globe and all of these maps one zero had in fact the rest of the world was pretty solvent while the u.s. was going bankrupt but what happened once the u.s. and the rest of the world went off the gold standard the rest of the world became bankrupt hoped. because of the toxic derivatives that are floating in all the other banks around the world that are manufactured in the united states because the u.s. is of the gold standard and as you point out in the seventy's they were already bankrupt because of the vietnam war that they couldn't pay for and i noticed that the f.b.i. has issued a statement saying that unless america gets out of these wars if they can't pay for it will continue to be bankrupt i don't see the cia or obama saying that unless
2:38 pm
america stops these wars around the world that they can't pay for that the u.s. will continue to be in bankruptcy so that those words are not in the dictionary down there at langley or ever you're hanging out watching this show and panic buying gold i know you are again let's return to this last chart there the last map of the external debt to g.d.p. . when it's a gold standard if the us hat was in debt they had a trade deficit that meant they had to sell and their gold to france they had to send gold to britain meaning that britain had a surplus and they were not in debt and they were not bankrupt however as you see from this last chart here in the last decade every single nation on earth is bankrupt therefore where is the wealth going to come from we are all bankrupt buckland points and you know and the use of the language is really phenomenal like
2:39 pm
this use of the word sovereign and if you wish sovereignty or terrorist i mean this is exactly what they're telling the people in greece people in greece would like economic sovereignty of the people of greece would like sovereign say but the troika the i.m.f. the e.c.b. and whatever other folk talked organization they got down there saying that no sovereignty is for job you want to be a debt slave you want to be a chimp like us here take more debt and the greek people are like well gosh i'm not sure is really what we should be doing while we're eating our suv walking. speaking of greece we have greece in the headlines max dramatic drop in budget revenues now this might be in extremis language here too but finance ministry in greece is reporting that january data shows a revenue decline of seven percent against their budget projections of a rise of eight point nine percent it's unfruitful like argentina for the same reason the other clip the crabs come in and steal all your money now the economy's in freefall and it's going the way of all slush into the terminal decline and the
2:40 pm
greek experiment only five thousand years old is finished and remember it's the people who have been for the last few years resisting the i.m.f. and the e.u. and the troika there are the extremists were still value added tax receipts posted an eighteen point seven percent decrease last month from january this follows a last year here's a headline max greece increases reduced vat and austerity measures so to get the last round of bailouts they had to increase their of that from thirteen percent to twenty three percent on food it's resulted in a catastrophic decline in revenues so the person is skyrocketing so nobody can afford it anymore to make a good. use of old grapes and all of. well the finance ministry officials attribute the slump that receipt figures to the major cash flow
2:41 pm
problems that enterprises are facing some of the latter are choosing not to pay for their vatican order to plug all their holes caused by liquidity problems well the whole thing is a farce because the i.m.f. came in and they said if you don't take these austerity measures we're going to we're going to have to cut you off the record of supply in your company will go into freefall and you lose your bond rating so then the rating agencies came in like moody's and s. and p. and said well because of the austerity measures that you put in place and you're going to you're going to cut your credit rating anyway so the bond market collapse the income is collapse the g.d.p. is collapse the entire sovereignty is collapsed the use of the word sovereignty is not considered a terrorist act and the people around the parliament building and jump to square. well max now plugging these holes is the only thing we have since going off the gold standard the story about the vat receipts declining because enterprises are plugging their holes or taking any cash they get and filling in their debt holes
2:42 pm
their black holes of debt it sounds like what happened with m.f. global of course. the move global. the most are from the root come from global germy dorman this is only the most beef from customer love a segregated dakota respect them we just feel the money due at the cape. well here's a headline on m. of global tumultuous last days in m.f. global collapse and investigation in the us by the trustee for m.f. global has revealed the brokerage misuse customer funds five days before the new york based parent company filed for bankruptcy in october the three month investigation into the us parent also shed light on the growing chaos inside m.f. global during its final days as customers were pulling funds from the broker that specialized in derivatives and high risk trading products now. who
2:43 pm
actually went bust whose money was stolen it wasn't people engage in high risk trading products this is the same sort of propaganda that we see in the first headlines you can act like a banker you cannot pay taxes you you cannot believe in regulation you could dump all sorts of toxins into the environment but as long as you don't believe in the gold standard you're fine here the same thing these were small farmers mostly who had all of their money stolen but to the population at large they're saying they were engaged in high risk trading right the small farmers who use the futures markets to reduce risk of farming this is what futures markets are created but in the last days of m.f. global the speculators like correspondent jamie diamond who are taking the opposite trade from the farmers and leveraging that by a thousand times and then putting that risk out into the public domain to be absorbed by the derivatives market that ends up being forced it on countries like greece anyway they're the ones are being victimized who look to them more booze.
2:44 pm
i couldn't buy my yacht moved from hurting so badly jamie doesn't. cries and there should be a permanent mark up this guy's keester but no he just goes to the street like everything's fine even though he's the frickin terrorist. ok stays there with thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max don't go away much more coming away so stay right there.
2:45 pm
are welcome back to the cause a report time now to go to new york and speak with francine mckenna who operates a blog review auditor's dot com a specialized news site about the business of the big four audit firms including price waterhouse cooper where she previously worked shows a rise from forbes francine welcome to the kaiser report thanks for having me let's talk about m.f. global the m.f. global client funds have been vaporized and then found and then vaporize then goes over a many times here with the money ever been be found where is this money well i don't
2:46 pm
believe any of the latest reports because they keep talking about legitimate transactions this money is gone it's not coming back because i think that it disappeared as a result of an illegitimate transaction you don't have legitimate transactions real things like sales of assets to goldman sachs or borrowing again. a line of credit at j.p. morgan that doesn't result in money actually missing and they've actually admitted that it's been missing ever since the thirty first when they went bankrupt just before the thirty first there was a huge outflow of cash right to credit jurors who apparently out of inside information this was about to blow up is that true well there was a report out today that perhaps they started moving customer assets even earlier than they thought the twenty sixth and that's consistent with some theories that i've put out which says that once they thought they were in the clear and they had
2:47 pm
handed the c.m.e. group the last report that said everything was in order they started moving assets around and i think my theory is that they pledged them for a line of credit to try to get through the weekend they planned on selling the company and then maybe putting those assets back unfortunately their plans were for oil by the force bankruptcy and that's why i think those assets are gone completely because whoever had sold them let's talk about those words vaporize for a second according to the wall street journal they're saying these funds vaporized have been up and such an experience money doesn't just disappear what's unusual here for something that sort of potentially criminal or fraudulent situation is that we don't have somebody who skipped town is ended up in the cayman islands or the money in a swiss bank account everybody is still on board everybody is still here so it's the money itself it's the assets themselves.
