welcome back this is also in the headlines. as amazing would be true on arab league envoy kofi annan president bashar al assad says his ready to such full diplomatic solutions to the syrian crisis but he says political turmoil hope one perceived as low as terrorist groups are at work of the country spreading chaos and instead it's . a testing time for the opposition of around ten thousand people take for granted days the outcome of sunday's presidential poll for the turnout was much

smaller than expected with internal divisions on the lack of organization like. also tension on the israeli palestinian border triggered by the killing of the guards of resistance leader continues with a barrage of rocket fire and for more victims on both sides of israel ever shells claim the total number of rockets fired from gaza it seems more. optimism bondy greed right down for instance from what sure as an offense suffers a french term great from the fictional ratings agency that sometime egypt declared the crippled country in dad's or next day. up next there is the kaiser for london this is a from marx kaiser sees a harvest. to reveal the scheme which how greece is joining the euro zone by masking its massive debts and how it's orchestrates our bonds at time to crossfire .

this is the kaiser report trickle down effect in the cold. syrup and yes max who are seeing financial crimes all over the place right well the feds have apparently acted they are able to act six charged in federal crackdown on happening by anonymous lol sex groups so who we know of a little second member admitted to hacking sony and also the computer system used by fox broadcasting company rupert murdoch's news corporation according to u.s.

authorities so sabu and these other defendants face as much as one hundred twenty two and a half years in prison according to the judge involved in this case yeah well what about the hackers who hacked into m.f. global accounts but what about the hackers that hacked into the live or business multi hundred trillion dollar business they hacked into but no goldman sachs they hacked into greece to stabilize the country where are the penalties for these people exactly because all these guys are targeted with in most of these cases in the sony and fox case that they just basically took down the site and they took some e-mail addresses and passwords ok that's the extent of it now some who got involved with the feds the f.b.i. and with them apparently it looks like from the time line that they in fact hacked strout four and then the feds. encourage them to use the credit card information they stole and use that to purchase seven hundred thousand dollars on these credit

cards so that is a financial crime but a seven hundred thousand dollars where are the same thing where is rupert murdoch in jail why isn't he facing one hundred twenty two years because according to u.s. attorney preet borowski said in a statement the six defendants and their own identified coconspirators we need a deliberate campaign of online destruction intimidation and criminality as you and i covered in our episode about the data and just real complex this is exactly what rupert murdoch's enterprises does to get a lot more hackers that they they're going to seek a remedy where they have to give back the money they stole it the profits they made ok so here you have this hacker group apparently they responsible for missing seven hundred seventy thousand dollars so the penalty should be they give it back right exactly all they're profiting from it ok so where is the double standard if the double standard is because the hollywood industry the m.p.a.

the are i am they have millions hundreds of millions of dollars i work for a lobbyist in washington the consumer protection bureau the consumer protection lobbyist protecting people from pro tory bankers than anybody i work in washington so you see really clear the the laws are written by the lobbyist these people who are for the copyright cartel they write the laws that put this guy prison for a hundred years one hundred twenty years the people who hacked into life or goldman sachs hacking into greece and the global good being hacked into by j.p. morgan of those laws are were they write the laws for themselves or they simply get paid maybe a little bit of a fine they don't have to say whether they're guilty or not and everything is ok door and you mentioned m.f. global hacking into their client funds remember we covered that as well and the e-mail shows that. it was a hack it literally was a hack that happened of a segregated accounts the transfer of millions of dollars from a segregated account to j.p. morgan and that happened with approval came within a minute the funds were deposited within fifteen minutes how is that not

a hack but it is a hack except as done with a couple of martinis down harrison and over after work and you know they side oh look we need to hack a hundred million dollars or hundred fifty million dollars or three billion dollars cura cheerio tell him ok so i mentioned who has admitted that he hacked sony so sony and anonymous are in the same headline here p.s.v. to add phones anonymous as atari teenage riot donate free so sony has inadvertently found itself funding free a nonstop org after band atari teeny dry agreed to one of its tracks being used in a p.s.v. marshall but still needed to see the anonymous legal support for the alice empire of atari t.v. try it has some history with sony with i'll go over in a moment but he said he couldn't resist suggesting crack black flags when the japanese company came looking for music for its new wii the advertising campaign the song contains multiple references to anonymous and has been used in several

occupy wall street promotional videos but the other fly in the black is pirates versus the old hottentot and the potentates of the copyright cartel and this is what these to be supported because the hacker groups of piracy groups they are filling a void that's been created by the legal infrastructure collapsing in the face of lobbyists who are working on behalf of monopolist undercutting competition partners and pirates are providing much needed competition for the economy to grow worse the response from the central banks of the other banks is to just increase the debt load to make the economy grow that doesn't make the economy grow makes the economy shrink patterson pirates are the true g.d.p. posters they're the ones we should celebrate this capital second. there are the arrows that i wanted to turn to this blog posting from alec empire of atari teenage right and he's explaining why it is that he was going eating his fee to protecting and defending anonymous operatives who were arrested he said my name is alex empire

and i am from atari teenage riot if you are new to my news they call me as a person you might not know that i had some beef with tony in the year one thousand nine hundred nine over a camcorder advert in southeast asia a track of mine was basically used against my permission if you ever tried to fight a corporation like this in court and in another country let me tell you you want to do other stuff with that time and money even though the thing got settled in court kind of i never felt they paid what they owed so sony corp was able to hack this man's music take his stuff and use it on advertisement and then he had to go through all the huge costs and emotional turmoil of trying to take them to court and yet had he done the same to them as did the sorry teenage riot alec empire would be facing one hundred twenty two years in prison right what you hear from the sony corporation another in the copyright cartel is that they're for artists they're for the music they want to help these people but in fact now the artists

realize that they're not helping them they're helping to destroy them another fighting back using the tools of hacking piracy and the online digital revolutionary tools to fight back against these pernicious ugly monopolist cartel purveyors like sony and others in the industry and they're not helping artists and artists artists let's get that clear holywood artist and list are able to exploit them and take all their frickin lonely without doing anything in return now we're going to turn into a band fighting back against these tollbooth operators who are using them as propaganda to try to tell the world that we need these onerous copyright laws that we need the feds chasing down people around the world. in order to defend the young artists right band tells fans to boycott its albums saying its label doesn't pay this is streetlight manifesto their music is awesome they're going to be on the kaiser report soon and they said we're writing today to ask you to please boycott

all streetlight related items by not purchasing any of our records or merchandise from victories website victory records and the traditional cd stores online third party retailers or any digital distribution service like i tunes amazon accenture victory has a long time reputation of pocketing all the proceeds from the band's music and merchandise with shady accounting and generally bulliest behavior if you want to support street like our music and our ability to tour and continue to release music please make all s.m. related purchases from our own web store at the risk store our i se store dot com or come out to a show and buy a shirt or cd from us directly right struvite manifest realizes that they're fighting a copyright blockade there are those they want to get paid but the copyright blockade the copyright cartel is making that impossible so they're going to go all around the blockade and we should support all of these bands and all these artists

to totally destroy the copyright cartel copyright law as it's currently iterated it's a lifetime plus seventy years is immoral and it's completely economically unfeasible and these people these bands these artists are going to take on the copyright cartel we're totally support this and just as alec empire of atari teenage riot was when he was confronted by people who said oh you're just doing this in order to sell more c.d.'s he said no i'm not here's a link to the bit torrent of my song if you want to go download it ok and the same with streetlight manifesto they and speaking of bit metaphorically there is a torrent of methods to accomplish listening to our music and google is you're always. loyal friends right the torrent market and you know we talked about louie c.k. is an artist in new york and comedian who put his concert up on a torrent for free download and asked for people to donate any raised over

a million dollars because there's a huge pool of capital out there what's called crowd funding which allows people to help get around this copyright blockade being set up by the m p a r i a friendly stooges in los angeles and washington now again speaking of authors here's a story we're also going to be speaking to some of the people involved in this offer strike back against pay pal censorship of smashwords smashwords is an online e-book retailer and they basically allow anybody to upload their own content and sell their books now there's a section of erotica which you know might not be in everybody's you know they might think it's a bit too racy or whatever but smashwords in an e-mail to the subscribers explains that pay pal has asked them to take down two thousand titles from the erotica section and they said we believe it's wrong for credit card companies banks and other financial institutions to censor legal fiction we believe the censorship is

targeting a small subset of iraq a fiction the same censored themes are prevalent in much mainstream fiction we believe it would be unfair to authors and readers alike for any organization to censor what writers are allowed to imagine what readers are allowed to read if the pay pal restrictions were taken to the extreme many mainstream classics including lolita or gone with the wind could technically be banned even the bible could fall under the net since it contains scenes of rape and incest right remember pay pal was one of the first to jump in on the wiki leaks blockade which shut down funding for wiki leaks and shut down a major voice of independent voice freedom of the press and this was unbelievably. immoral and completely out of their men. they as a corporation and now they've extended it to just cherry pick items that they like and they don't like this it's erotica next thing they'll be saying well this author you know we don't like the his syntax you know we get frank rich of the new york times review the books he doesn't like it so we're not going to be able to provide

a paper this is why alternative currencies like bitcoin are on the rise because again it's a way to do a work around around the blockade by this fascist pay-pal nonsense and i want to cut to the final hacking story here goldman secret greece alone tries to sinners as a client unravels greece's secret loan from goldman sachs was a costly mistake from the start on the day the two thousand and one deal was struck the government of greece owed the bank about six hundred million euros more than the two point eight billion euros of power owed by then the price of the transaction a derivative that disguised the loan and that goldman sachs persuaded greece not to test with competitors had almost doubled to five point one billion euros but so greece blew up twenty five percent of greek g.d.p. in one day one day it was eight accounted for twelve percent of goldman sachs its

profits that year this was greece is nine eleven the day they met goldman sachs it was them packing the sovereignty and the future of a nation of greece penalties no martinis yes safe never thanks much mainly because a report thank you max that go away much more coming away so stay right there. well. it's technology innovation all the developments

around. the future. but go back to the kaiser reports time now to go to new york city and speak with journalist cary bull of cary bull gerry is crowdfunding her next big piece of investigative journalism terry bull welcome back to the kaiser report hi max it's great to be here all right terry bull you're a journalist it was published in many major publications in america and your latest piece is being crowded funded why you know max a to say that it was time to ask the readers what they wanted to see and pay for. this is my first time to try to crowd find a story and it's been an amazing success i have the chance to choose my own editing style and the way that we're going to present this story based on reader feedback

so we're going to focus on a new canaan trader who was once beyond the s.c.c. and the c.f.c. scene who's now doing some maybe shady operations overseas and we're going to look at how that money we're talking millions lost a lot some millions how that money is funding his alternate sex life ok so the title of the piece is swinging in new canaan and it goes by the symbol swing is on my film dot com if people want to help dissipate a crowd funding your piece so get into some of the particulars here it sounds pretty sexy. let's just say when i tell anyone about this story they just want to hear more of this story first started though when mitch vance quest the new canaan trader went and turned in his personal assistant his go friday for stealing one

hundred seventy thousand dollars from. she was arrested she's currently charged on some felony charges. when she got caught. she told the new canaan police you know he was actually paying her to have sex with him and his living girlfriend pamela chiasson pamela is the sister of pain inside trader who's now in jail daniela chassis so we first saw this story and it was reported it i think the headline was like sex and checks right and i noticed that there was probably something a little off about the trader story. so right now what we're looking at is who's telling the truth does she really steal was he paying her first sexpert three somes and you know he just doesn't want to admit it and what else is going on here and how is money used is he lying to the new canaan police this was highlighted by john carney at c. and b. c. net net in early january we i had i don't know fifty thousand unique viewers read

it within the first twenty four hours and from there it's still about more people just kept reaching out to me within the community people who had sued mitch has closed over seas expression and beliefs because they believe that as a client of his trading operation g.c.i. trading that they they've lost the last thousands of dollars. there's x. assistants who have come to me. political leaders in the town in ukraine in are reaching out and talking about the situation and we looked into you know what's really happening there how long has this been going on how long is this bedroom wall street wealthy community even having a very active sweeny life right let's put this in the context or because people assume all of the chicanery in the financial markets and banks that occurs on wall street who people don't understand is that actually wall street for the most part are order takers the real movers and shakers are the hedge fund guys in greenwich connecticut in new canaan in this hedge function unity so this is why i think it's

important for people to understand that these says fund when they're not ransacked in greece will not destroy me. merican economy we're not destroying mr palin's when they're not you know acting outside of the law stealing money from customers of m.f. global they're out there and came in the came to connecticut ordering threesomes having orgies you know livin it up like rome or something like this tell us about. your investigation now the subject of the investigation is trying to silence you correct how they've done this you know you're right. at the end of january merrick's mitch vance quiz hired a famed lawyer his name is mark sherman his father used to represent the mob unfortunately he his dad also played guilty to tax evasion he just didn't pay a million dollars in taxes so so he hired this kind of you know in between the grail lines attorney and they sue me and see n.b.c. . they did something else really where in a legal move they do something called

a temporary injunction and the goal there was that mr grass quest thought he could just stop me from writing anything else about him while this case which will it will take months to litigate this moving forward they also try to get him to take his names out of the story in something called the google tag so he wouldn't come up in a search and i mean sorry it just goes to the foundations of free speech to stop speech before speech is ever been decided that this speech isn't ok but it is called the harvard digital media law center and they jumped right in immediately they were wonderful it did take about two weeks but they found me a top lawyer pro bono which means for free to represent me the lawyer carroll head is from being him and she also helped to represent the boston globe when mitch and his attorney mark sherman found out that i had this top lawyer the day before the

hearing for the temporary injunction they pulled it they ran away. they're still suing me and c n b c for defamation which interesting is. we deny all claims i don't think anything i wrote is libelous considering mitch himself admitted to the charges that the c f t c currency and commodities regulator and the f.c.c. securities and a stock regulator who both banned him for five years he's image to these charges but he's upset i wrote about it i think he's really worried about what's coming next and he's worried about the current four x. business that he's operating in somewhat third world countries preying on mom and pop investors who think they can get rich trading currencies with his firm like he siphons off allegedly siphons all monies from these accounts you know and i but i can't tell what he's afraid of i'm i just keep getting more information and he's got a nasty divorce there's drugs involved i mean you name it luckily you know i have

some great excellent legal representation and with the help of my readers you know we're now able to start a new donations coming in to help make sure that the story is going to move forward and it is i'm going to print this story no matter what mitch mountain pass was charged to do so the harassment that you have been suffering it sounds like very similar to slap cases p.-p. whereby powerful interest silence bloggers and critics through burdening them with legal bills it's been very effective in silencing those reporting on financial crimes your thoughts well you're absolutely right unfortunately in connecticut where i live the slop laws are not that strong if this if i had been suing california i likely would have had a lot more legal rights to go and sue mitchell back for a frivolous lawsuit i'm not in that situation right now unfortunately thank goodness though this insight since i have pro bono and free legal representation mr

vasquez will not be able to stop this story by burning me with legal bills he might try to scare and intimidate me all right now. the story you're currently investigating of course overlaps with the story of a senior banker at morgan stanley from connecticut who has just been charged with hate crimes tell the audience about his bizarre crime and how he relates to this song in new canaan story you're working on well mr jennings who is the managing director was he's on leave now i have morgan stanley. in december he got a cab ride home from new york and he didn't think that he should pay the fare that the cab driver told him that he needed to pay and according to the police reports he started to slur an enormous amount of racial angry words at him the cab driver drove off tried to go find a cop and allegedly mr mr jennings when to stalham almost in the neck it's unclear

he put his hand cut his hand it's all stabbed up so there was a soul there's a larceny charges and there's there's someone of a hate crime angle here. guineans that's interesting you know he lives down the street here from us maybe five minutes away from me as close house he chose an attorney who i understand is his next door neighbor jean reeky oh kerry has just come out that's a major prostitution ring has been broken up in manhattan and apparently senior bankers are involved in paying for sex for minors but if you've been tracking this story at all as it relates to swinging in new caney the projects are working on now you know i did i just see that come across my radar so far in this story we do not have any situation. with minors involved in the swing scene. what i what we are seeing and you know i don't want to give away everything of this amazing story that's going to come out but there are questions about some of the adult participants if they are. if they are being drugged or if they're of sound

mind when they're involved in his party so they he tries to manipulate them to get them produce to. ok well you look at some of the clients of these firms like greece a client of goldman sachs you want to whether goldman sachs drugs before they took on some of these onerous products and it just totally bankrupted the country now finally we've got about a middle of terry your investigative journalist here you're right in the belly of the beast up there in the hedge fund community and granted in new canaan where really the the movers and shakers of the global economic crisis live and breathe they're involved in scandalous sex the praise that you're covering it's quite a testament to the moral depravity of the characters and you're right now crowdfunding the project is swinging a new cane and it's on fire by film dot com it's more than two thirds funded already on the exchange it happened within a few days to a testament to your pull your drawing power out there on the journalistic community

do you think crowdfunding well as a potential to change the way investigative journalism is funded i hope so max i mean right now what we raise two thousand dollars in a matter of three days when you know thousand dollars more. because because of the money that we always really fast i was able to get nick verbinski of blue chip films houston to rector of the bear stearns movie called confidence again he signed on he's excited about it and i think we're going to build a blow up in a story like i've never been able to write a feeling and i think or new york magazine or fortunate forbes any of the publications that i've written for i think this is going to be visual. and it's going to change the way that we look at you know how can we get news out that is truthful and interesting to our readers base asacol writes on terry bull journalist the terrible dot com thanks so much for being on the kaiser report max all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and
