find out what exactly makes its way onto our plates. if only people knew what their sausage is made of or how they jagow it was bottled they would be very upset and would stop buying anything at all of the shops but. perhaps that's why there is a growing demand among people in russia's main cities for gannett products unfortunately for them russian shops have little to offer what is sold as eco and bio friendly is often far from it. by brutus have found a niche in the market i think starboard environment and you fashion for a healthy lifestyle however there are no legal standards a certified labeling schemes for organic produce in russia. so individual farmers define it in their own way but it's really on every farmer's own conscience. alexander is a computer programmer who turned to working the land what started as a hobby is now a mini industry with several farms in the moscow region covering livestock fish

within russia and china have come under heavy criticism after their veto of a un security council resolution on syria it's just the most recent example of the two standing largely on their own parties the resident asked people in the big apple why the two countries seemed to be so feared and mistrusted. if you believe the news media you should fear china and russia this week let's talk about why if they wanted to china could wipe out the u.s. in probably three minutes but anyone with an atomic bomb true so why china in particular. chinese people are very dangerous why what has made you think that have you ever been personally threatened by a chinese bird that no so why do you feel that way. they know kung fu i don't think

were in that good of a relationship with them so should we fear them is that going to make relations better and we should fear them i think they should fear us i think there's some legitimate concerns about human rights there and i think to need to pay attention to what are their legitimate human rights issues everywhere don't we have them here in the u.s. sure i think a different scale there but but yes we do have another places when there's there was stuff to find out so well that is a step to find out so well that will screw nobody's going to give us some money or would be but we're participating in that why is it their fault because they're acting smartly. it's hard to resist last year i was in china i wasn't scared at all so i don't think you should be i don't think we should run our country like china or russia but i think there are some ideas and some kind of plans they have that help their economy so maybe we can learn from that's more emulating and looking up to rather than fearing but we're taught to fear them why

do you think that is because fear keeps you in control if you are afraid it's easier to be manipulated by somebody telling you to do something rather than questioning what they say everybody is freak scared to do because the news and all the media makes people scare them specially in america why china and russia in particular are we made to feel scared because they're very powerful that's what we think ultimately they're going to be a part of the growth picture and they need us as much as we need them so why are people scared of them are they painted in this more of a picture it's always the same so maybe we should get to know them invite them over for coffee like that whether or not you believe the world should fear china and russia the bottom line to me is the old adage those who live in glass houses should never throw a stone. some other news making headlines around the world for you this hour police in senegal

a proposal to make russian its second official language the country's russian community which makes up about a third of the population initiated the referendum to draw attention to what they call decades of discrimination. and as euro zone nations struggle to come to grips with their financial troubles the idea of a united europe is losing ground but some schools in the blog are used to brainwashing pupils critics say they're trying to convince children that the project is infallible. and coming up max and stacey discuss where the wealthiest americans come from and where they call home that and a whole lot more in the kaiser report next on our. max keiser this is the kaiser report where do the one percent live really i mean

where do they really live. max that's our first headline here where the one percent live the fifteen richest counties in america and this is from census bureau data and my answer is that pretty much they live within an hour's drive of washington d c ten of the fifteen are within an hour's drive of washington d.c. either virginia or maryland so number one richest median income in america is virginia luden county it's a one hour four minute drive to washington d.c. median household income is one hundred thousand nine hundred thousand five hundred forty dollars of the top ten employers in the county number six is the department of homeland security but number two max is fairfax virginia of course this is home to langley and. they watch our show that's why demographic but all of the

intelligence community much of the intelligence community is there the u.s. government is actually the number two employer in the county booz allen hamilton s.a.i.c. which is of course a science applications international corporation which has a lot of work for the n.s.a. there guys. freddie mac. northrop grumman and lockheed martin so it appears that being part of the surveillance state makes you very wealthy well if i were living in looting virginia and i were looting people for a living whether it's at the airport through the homeland security or the t.s.a. or whether it's old down there on capitol hill where they put together all because of bills to pay. all sales from people you know i have an above average standard of living in that one mile radius of washington d.c. and this is where all the one percent is now this is all relatively new because it wasn't until nine eleven the most overrated attack in history did you find that the

u.s. government needed to create seventeen or eighteen new agencies pay them billions and you know they made jamie diamond look like. restraint of litter in fact luden county now it's not looting but it sounds better as looting it was an agricultural county up until only the one nine hundred sixty s. so yes it has you see the emergence of the new the one percent they are there they're the ones that are basically the tollbooth operators between you the people the ninety nine percent and the government so they own the government behind their toll booth this that that's the key point is that the life in the u.s. and around the world is being obstructed more and more by these especially these toll booths where you've got these in privileged sort of we're privileged class that are set up by the government to basically take money from folks as they're

trying to get from point a to point b. so it becomes extraordinarily. going to rewrite the some of the songs like america the beautiful they're going to write it like america the prism but also like what sort of wealth do these people create a service economy is in which the service being provided is spying on the citizens that doesn't add any wealth to the economy these people obviously are very wealthy they're making income from it but it's not creating wealth for the economy and that's why you see an economy that is collapsing it's a drag on wealth it's a drag on wealth and they justify it as you need to have this one percent in these counties looting because again going. so this theory of trickle down economics going back to reagan's day that meant one thing but now it's just trickle down looting and we see this now in the g. twenty nations whether it's the u.s. but in the u.k. the u.k. is you know the really primo example of the so going back to fairfax county

virginia now this is a thirty minute drive to washington d.c. and the median household income is one hundred three thousand and ten dollars now business on cider says this government will be excited to learn langley headquarters of the cia is within the county line so government employees must be making a decent amount of money these days also the unemployment rate in the county has been astoundingly low historically hitting one point four percent in one thousand nine hundred nine so there's no end to the jobs available in a global war on terror state right now and of course it's more government but you know all these presidential campaigns are saying we want less government but this is more government they love government there and by the way let me make a quick aside here about mitt romney he is a liar he says he's only worth two hundred fifty million dollars that's wrong he's worth at least

a billion dollars because he made twenty million dollars last year as investments interest rates on ten year notes are around two percent it's all passive investment managers passively in a blind trust there's no way he could have made six or seven percent. for the million dollars he claims to have mitt romney is a billionaire and he won't say it because you know there spark incredible backlash against that lawyer and then number three on this list is howard county maryland fifty eight minute drive another one of the top employers there is sai c. so these are the science applications international corporation which provides services to the n.s.a. and the department of defense monitoring i guess web sites and things like that oh yes science they they love science except what it proves things like manmade global warming then of course they hate science but. when it's about the science of picking people's pocket and spying on people they love science but you see that it's mostly the security apparatus these are the guys making money these are where the money is flowing is just observing you so now here are the rich guys ok

now i'm going to look at the the people being observed google offering to pay web users to track their every move by signing up for screen wise and installing a browser plug in you'll be given five dollars in store credit on amazon for every three months you continue to provide google with browsing data you'll earn an additional five dollar gift card up to a total of twenty five dollars only those over thirteen can participate and perhaps not surprisingly sign ups are currently on hold due to overwhelming interest womyn used to be forty acres and a mule you know they give you five bucks to spy on you and i wouldn't be surprised if you have people from overseas rushing to america to get five dollars from google people in greece for people in greece five dollars twenty five dollars that's a whole six months of pay and it shows you the whole neo feudal system ok now these

economies these the rich people the rich communities are those who are doing the spying who get paid to spy on you google is one of the biggest corporations in the world because they spy on you you are poor because you take whatever dregs whatever bread and circuses they trickle down to you you'll take whatever you get you'll accept the being spied on they think they have a first says they're getting free twenty five dollars oh it's a free twenty five dollars never for a moment considering that the apparatus that allows them to get that twenty five dollars is disenfranchise them so horribly that the u.s. competitiveness is crashing in the standard of living is crashing and there's no health care there but you've got your free torn. five dollars i like that also google says you have to be thirteen or over to participate i mean what sort of a thirteen or fourteen year old are signing up to this and do they need their parents' permission or who it seems totally bizarre thirteen years old then you

know we're ten years old five years old. well you know these people are at least receiving thirty five dollars to be spied on i however was spied on yesterday and performing my service here to the kaiser report researching some headlines you k. now see using music blogs with american domains over copyright claims so the site in question is r. and b. exclusive dot com it's a dot com domain but it's based in the u.k. now i followed the link to the story about it being seized and here is the image of what i was presented with soak up which is the serious organized crime agency has taken control of this domain if you have downloaded music using this website you may have committed a criminal offense which carries a maximum penalty of ten years imprisonment and an unlimited fine under u.k.

law this is your ip address and then goes on to say the above information can be used to identify you and your location so has the capability to monitor and investigate you and can inform your internet service provider of these infringements put that together with the google story and the ability to farm all of the information images and photos of the next time it'll be a picture of some greasy grease ball from washington with your grandmother and a gun to her head and say stop or blow your grandma's head off. and look at the also this is their serious organized crime agency and look at the treatment they give you look at the words look at the threats they issue and yet longdon is where bernie made off happened where lehman brothers happened where a i.g. fraud happened where m.f. global fraud happened and how do they talk about these people oh we don't want to chase the business of the city out of london oh we must molly coddle them oh we

don't want to banker bash you bring up m.f. global they still haven't recovered the one point six billion missing still hasn't been and there's no investigation john corazon is was getting his toenails painted so one of the co-chairs or there's no there's no prosecution well let's look at the math the fact that this is called soca the serious organized crime agency where is the racket max look in the city of london is it the banks working with the credit rating agencies working with the regulators in a conspiracy to defraud the global investing and savings world no absolutely and they end up pushing all their losses and to countries like greece and elsewhere where people have to suffer real austerity measures now to make up for all that criminality also i mean these people basically the site was providing just a way you could listen to the music ok. which is a lot like radio ok you could accidently hear radio all over the place now is it going to be an organized crime if you happen to be walking past somebody is radio

playing a song and i thought maybe workers you know that these soca and n.r.a. and all these guys could start pushing i think their burkas is a good idea probably put that there in the past a lot of washington you know easy peasey nobody will stop it and they'll say it's for the young musicians and they'll charge huge fees and then the reverse collateralize on the open futures market and then the play themselves over huge bonus and then and more austerity measures will come along which you won't be able to hear music to it will be all quiet and finally max from the u.k. a lot of this is about our innovation economy we're supposed to. innovators and that's the way of the future right well cameron has a suggestion that innovative solutions to the drinking problem in the u.k. david cameron to launch attack on britain's boozing scandals cells known as drunk tanks this is his innovative solution max which detain in the breed of people until they sober up could be introduced to towns to tackle the nation's growing alcohol

problem. it's all in time for the queen's jubilee that is the queen floating on the thames and there's a bus full of drunken louts urinating on themselves go britannia all right stacy ever thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max don't go away much more coming your way so stay right there. any. one seem. to buy. every. turtle is going to think about what to.

do we only want to see this on forever. max has a welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to california and speak with charles who smith is website is of two minds dot com charles is smith welcome back to the kaiser report thank you max all right charles shoesmith before we begin to address the financial and economic situation we need to take a look at social fractals and financial fractals and how we got to the position of rot that we find ourselves and this is a recent story even working on social fractals very interesting tell us more the idea of fractals usually we refer to them in nature like the way that a clothesline looks ragged at thousand feet and it looks ragged at ten thousand feet and so these structures are self self same we call me look the same no matter

what scale you're looking at so like in social fractals if you take for honest people and you put him in a house then that household is more than likely going to be honest because that's the only that's really characteristics that are available to that household so if you take a household that hardworking and honest and responsible and caring you can have a community that has the same characteristics so then you go ok let's take i was communities and put them in a country well and how come the united states is so good that we corrupt at every level so you have to wonder how come basically honest people into up with a politically corrupt nation. then you start asking well how did that happen and i think the answer is when the top level of the society and economy is totally corrupt then everyone belittles starts realizing they're going to have to game the system by becoming corrupt themselves to to get ahead so if you have looking at the top you have living at the bottom and so these these things are all connected to

a need some kind of role model some point now speaking of social fractals greek prime minister look at us papademos said that if the austerity measures were not passed by parliament there would be a social explosion your thoughts i think as we discussed on my last visit when you deny democracy when you put. the financial and social future of your nation in the hands of bankers then how will how can it how can you expect any response other than an explosion against this sort of oppression and new feudalism yeah and on on on the worldwide basis charles you spent the oil imports of iran are cut off to greece what impact to expect on the greek economy in light of the fact that iran was the only nation willing to send them on sell the oil on credit it's hard to imagine. the tragedy that's unfolding in greece where.
