and broadcasting a live director for fields of moscow this is r.t. i'm shocked honest and this is the top of your thoughts and to bomb the blasts killed twenty seven and leave scores wounded in a cordon aided assault on security compounds in the syrian capital damascus the attacks come at a sensitive time as u.n. attempts to broker an end to the violence in the country that's aimed claimed thousands of lives. to belorussian sentenced to death for last year's terror attack

on the minsk metro had been executed this despite calls from human rights groups to reconsider the sentenced. nationalist marchers in latvia honoring as a veteran as it sparked a concern over the resurgence of the far right groups in the european union yanyuwa vent has been widely condemned as it were the case of the county. and up next our financial guru max kaiser and his co-host stacey herbert unavailable more of the secrets behind the curtains of global finance the kaiser report is just ahead on archie. most cars are this is the cars report young goldman sachs or stone stacey banks when you were a banker on wall street as you were ripping buddies eyeballs out yeah that's a common vernacular for the stronger costumer rip their eyes out tear off their

head down their necks you know typical things like this the idea is to destroy the customers ok well we're talking about goldman sachs why i'm leaving goldman sachs this is the viral video of this week at coney twenty two all of this week greg smith goldman sachs executive director and head of the firm's united states equity derivatives business in europe the middle east and africa he spent twelve years at the firm is now wrote a letter he resigned with a letter to the new york times explaining why he's resigning and said the company is toxic and destructive and he said what are the three quick ways to become a leader at goldman sachs they execute on the firm's axes which is goldman speak for persuading your clients to invest in the stocks or other products that we are trying to get rid of because they are not seen as having a lot of potential profit be hunt elephants in english get your clients some of whom are sophisticated and some of who aren't contrary whatever will bring the

biggest profit to goldman or c find yourself sitting in a seat where your job is to trade any illiquid opaque product with a three letter acronym right well to take the middle order of the first idea around the axis of the product line bohlmann like any wall street shop is in the business of repackaging stocks and bonds into some exotic flora and fauna the idea is you can charge huge commissions on these products the vig the spread these are the usually never reported to the customer they market up five percent six per. the law says you can market up by more than a small percentage but they never actually report the markup as an internal markup on their desk and when the lloyd blankfein says he's making a market what he's doing is he's marking off the price of in-house packaged joe what they call on their axis so customers with the second they buy it there are mediately down five percent or more twenty percent in the case of some of the liquid the rivet of contracts they're down fifty percent the second they take

possession of it or they're down one hundred percent they're literally selling them tainted meat that's filled with maggots of risk now the second point that they make about this is the way of the elephant hunting i mean this is elephants and also you're hear people on wall street for the whales that the whales are the big customers and the exact same are go that one finds in a las vegas las vegas is dominated by the whales or people come in were willing to lose millions for a free breakfast now the thing about was vegas is very similar to wall street is that in vegas you have hosts and these are not all that not always hookers they sometimes are just guys who take clients of the of the casino out for a good time and they take them gambling the hosts are paid as a percentage of the amount of money the customer loses. and this is exactly the

wall street model where someone at goldman sachs makes a ten million dollars bonus or a thirty million dollars bonus he has lost for various clients including greece or other countries or other corporations three hundred or four hundred billion in losses he's paid a percentage of the losses this is why the global g.d.p. is in retreat this is why the united states has increased our debt load to fifteen sixteen seventeen trillion to paper over the losses that goldman is in the business of delivering to customers many of which are too frickin stupid to understand that it's not necessarily a great idea but a lot of c.e.o.'s are so frickin stupid because the cost of money is some cheap but they're willing to give away their could be their family their life for just such an arrangement ok so here this racket is going on this is the way goldman sachs is operating and if they're operating in that with that mentality of course all of us are muppets so let's look at the biggest markets of all in the u.k. britain to offer a one hundred year gilt meaning current government borrowing will not be repaid

until the next century under a radical plan to be unveiled by george osborne in next week's budget similar guilt have only previously been used to fund the first world war and the fallout from the south sea bubble when speculators almost bankrupted the global economy the exchequer in the u.k. is still paying interest on those loans underlining the scale of the economic crisis now facing the country this is a remarkable story they are offering one hundred year gilts and as i was born and others point out they haven't done the says the collapse of the south sea bubble they have the collapse and then they offered these one under your guilts to try to refinance the british economy using the quantitative easing of the day to reliquefy banks to you know offer that up to the insiders notice that it can't. after the south sea bubble crash here they're doing it before before the mega craft that's

cooked into the cake at this point and what this tells us is that the global economy particularly in the u.k. where the jet the debts the g.d.p. in the u.k. couldn't bank that is just under a thousand percent of g.d.p. there has already ben this magnificent crash in the u.k. economy but cam'ron. he and i was born and mervyn king over there to bank of england through price manipulation. are are hiding the crash essentially but now the people on the street are beginning to feel because for example gas is an all time high priced in british pounds that's the result of oz born sneaking in this one hundred year guilt and other quantitative easing techniques to try to hide the fact that they're standing in front of the curtain that's hiding like the wizard of oz this multi-tiered the british britain has over five trillion pounds in debt

that's they're not they're not even officially keeping on their books well ok let's talk about this hundred year guilt however who sold it to them if you're sitting at the table discussing a derivative or a product or a bond with goldman sachs you can bet you're in the market so look at the prospectus speak and the way the treasury sold this to the media who doesn't ask the questions a treasury source said tonight this is about locking in for the future the tangible benefits of the safe haven status we have today the prices lower debt interest repayments for decades to come it is a chance for our great grandchildren to pay less than they otherwise would have done because of the government's fiscal credibility and this is it to put it in wall street terms a roll up a roll up so you've got five trillion in debt in britain and you've got it you've got an economy almost a thousand times debt versus g.d.p.

there's no way that they can generate the growth to pay that debt for one thing they sent all the jobs overseas right they only have financial shysters in the city who are doing shell games of paper and that's not generating enough income to pay for the debt it'll never ever be paid so when they do they roll it up they say we're going to take this five trillion or twenty trillion pounds of debt and we're going to make it into forty trillion but we're going to extend the maturity out by a hundred years so the coupon rate is still the same so your interest cost don't go up but your indebtedness now isn't it goes out to. many generations going forward and relocked into that and oh by the way the austerity measures are going to have to keep on coming to pay for oz born. new fangled absurdism well with these low rates we have the next headline max richard branson plastic financial apartheid with rates from borrowing by banks at record lows this type of rate rate is truly sick so remember sir richard branson was able to buy northern

rock the state owned bank in the u.k. by promising that he was going to introduce competition and innovation into the market well sir richard branson of virgin money which recently bought northern rock has increased interest rates on its credit cards by almost fifty percent and the latest blow to consumers already hit by rising mortgage rates the bank group has issued a take it or leave it ultimatum telling customers to accept the rises or pay off their balances talk about markets. who. own who who are the rort. and then advise it of course he's part of the club any jacks people's rights up and he commits financial hole because he can put financial part time he's an ugly ugly british muppet who is basically also on his knees in front of osborne performing

services well the credit card rates they're charging are now twenty four point nine percent let's look at thirty percent we're just going to string you know month old ladies you piece of trash so here we have. our governments taking out one hundred year mortgages on our country essentially in order to give these banks which goldman sachs executive director has just said are continuing to defraud the population's right so forcing us to continue to use their products. now look at this next headline max f.b.i. says paying cash for coffee is a sign of terrorist intent so apparently the f.b.i. has sent around this memo and saying using cash for a small purchases like a cup of coffee gum and other items is a good indication that a person is trying to pass for normal without leaving the kind of paper trail

created using a debit or credit card for small purchases because if you're doing god's work you would use it to good card so that richard branson can make fifty percent on your money otherwise if you don't make progress on your money. you are anti-god your infidel and of course the call of be and they call up george cameroon and they call of all of these and they say let's go kill some people out there let's go to invade a country most will kill iraqis will still kill of palestinians so the richer president the overcharge part of three moves the people in charge fifty percent to go get a cup of coffee because we step program why can't you look for a police state. and then finally you know we have these bankers trapping us all into their high cost loans and trying to basically criminalize owning or using cash so however what about laundry detergent max grime wave it's a dirty job police nationwide take on soaring tide detergent theft law enforcement

officials across the united states are puzzled over a crime wave targeting an unlikely item tied laundry detergent so tide has become a form of currency on the streets detective larry patterson of the somerset kentucky police department where authorities have seen a huge spike in tide laundry detergent theft says there is no serial numbers and it's impossible to track if the item to steal well as we found out during the two thousand and eight collapse the economies are on drug money cocaine money from mexico that's the single greatest source of actual cash to run the economy now because the banks about loaned into the economy they're hoarding. the cash people are saying you know what we need to create our own cash so whether it's tide laundry detergent to clean up their money laundering or whether it's a stick of gum or whether it's whatever it's going to beit we're going to create our own cash our own economy because you're not letting us to live in this economy you know richard branson is trying to financially rape was twenty four hours a day so where if we get to use tide water detergent to escape is rape farm then

that's what we've got to do so this is what the people are doing i say tally ho find ghetto like you should tide laundry is a currency and wash your clothes at the same time would be better all right stay here we're going to go thanks for being on the cause report thank you so much for coming away so stay right there.

well. technology innovation called the developments around russia we've got the future covered. guys are welcome back to the kaiser a part time now to go to los angeles and talk with jeff shoddily lame gagan live stream syria all right jeff welcome to the kaiser report william walker the kaiser report thanks for having us they surrounded us all right fantastic so william you just returned from syria where you traveled on a crowd funded piece of journalism crowdfunding the dragon slayer to mainstream media the new paradigm buster tell us about the process of the site you did this on how much did you raise and who chose the location so start off i chose the location it was something that i been thinking about watching the news and i had

a crowd fund it because that's the way we work here in the united states is crowdfunding every trip that we did so i actually use stage donation site called we pay to crowd fund it i put out a a call on the internet through facebook and twitter and various social media portals and basically said i want to go to syria i want to live stream i want to show the plight of the people there and i want to tell the truth and you know i was able to raise about about five thousand dollars over the course of about a week and a half fantastic now jeff you're a background is computer security and as a teller comics agent so how did you get involved first of the occupy wall street movement and now in this crowd funded reporting project well basically i got first got involved in the occupy wall street. when i saw some videos being. being

displayed that were getting mainstream media attention to scott and video of him getting hit in the head with a tear gas canister in oakland. the other videos callously berkeley beating videos and basically work from a communications perspective in a distribution element to help get those videos out to mainstream media and as far as applies for syria goes i was running operations for will as has headquarters at our headquarters in new york and once willed it is first broadcast from istanbul he was receiving death threats and people were claiming he was a cia agent and we also learned about some syria now where that was being developed and distributed to target journalists and activists so we knew that we need to step up the security element of things will called me and said come over and i got a ticket within a few hours i was on my way now it's very exciting about this all crowdfunding phenomenon is that in this space of p.v.p. networking and this also all networking revolution and then of course with the

internet you have incredible ways for distribution but up until now there's never been really any way to do the funding aspect of these productions so now finally you've got peter this p.t.p. social networking phenomenon has to disinter mediated if you will have got rid of the gatekeepers on the funding side so you guys are completely free to produce distribute and fund these projects tell us let's focus on the syria subject for a moment neda bakri a lebanese turtle is covering syria for the new york times said quote it's been very hard to cover syria because you're relying on activists accounts activists they have never met you know you don't know where they're at what their genders are now it if this journalist who is very familiar with the region and who speaks the language isn't an able. to discern the agenda of all the desperate elements there

how did you guys navigate this issue because obviously or era stranger in a strange land how did you navigate through that well we have contacts we had contacts with a lot of activists with the f.s.a. with civilians inside of syria and in turkey and pretty much we just we been digesting as much information as possible from these people who were trying to just report on what we actually see from our own eyes and develop some of our own contacts on the ground you know we we went to syria we we took our our own our own route in we were led by a syrian military defector and we interviewed the f.s.a. we saw one of their camps and you know we were trying to get the information from the people directly from the people as to not be biased on either on either side but clearly in the case of the syria reporting it's incredible a lopsided when you contrast that to what's happening in a country like bahrain and i know one of the mainstream outlets out there al

jazeera english is now on a tremendous flak that they're getting because apparently they're completely biased suddenly they're not covering bahrain at all and they're just going with the the government in syria and their line of thinking and you guys are there you're on the ground you're journalistically doing what a journalist does seeing looking for the truth but of course there is another element to this network world that we live in because you have guys so-called activists like danny from syria who c.n.n. is being there to prove their force to prove that he's not fake he's their guy on the ground in syria so how do you deal with this because it's very difficult in this in this age of. it's very easy to go and be in a country like syria and shoot and great. i mean it just you got distribution you got funding but it's also great to come up with fake news and seem to be in

a career an increasing problem how do you deal with that i think being on the ground there for us it was actually what we're trying to do was we were trying to bypass those activists and bypassed you know those people and actually go super ourselves so we could actually report back to people that actually might trust what was coming from us lord and they're going to trust various activists reports and the mainstream media who are actually feeding off those activists in those reports so that was i mean that was our purpose in going trying to find out the truth first cell so we could take it directly back to everyone at home and i did that's that's really valuable to the people back here is that they can actually see a firsthand report from from us that is not coming through multiple people before it gets to us we're telling the truth of what we're seeing right there before our eyes i think it's also important to note that when we got on the ground we were

attending pro soccer rallies we were attending you know anti assad rallies we were attending all of these different meetings and being with you know working with activists and working with the pro side groups in turkey and in syria so in just showing i think a lot of media will only show one side of the picture and what we want to do is just show show show as much as we can from both sides and able to discussion from that point in the future the more crowd funded journalist the more dependent journalist we can get on the ground around these situations i think the truth has a higher probability to come out something more of a personal question what in the last two or three years or five years what incident or event or action arse are a person to galvanize you on a personal level to go down this path of truth seeking and to go in these war torn areas can you identify any one event for a person that really got you in this going in the past. i have to say max for me it's it's my mother you i mean you've been following the occupy wall street

movement here in the protests and whatnot and when that started i had just actually had tragedy in my family my mom lost her business and her home due to the economic crisis here in the united states and so for me it really got real at that point and then occupy wall street started and i really felt you know this is what i've been waiting for and so i stepped out of my normal life as a college student and a bartender working in a restaurant and left all that behind quit my job quit school and left to start covering these protests and i almost from day one i became an independent journalists out there live streaming. that that was my motivation in sense then it is just the next step the next step in that progression and syria was the last step and who knows what the next one will be our last thought about the next one i know

that you were going to go to the g eight in chicago they've moved it the venue to camp david but i think you're supposed to be doing something with the g. eight i know something is on my film it's listed people or if you want to help crowd fund your work they can go to part of my film dot com but what is their g eight film it coming are you going to bypass the g eight are doing something for ga we're still going to go to the g. eight and we're also going to be nato in chicago that's going to be you know the protest laws in chicago that been implemented are providing additional challenge for us and we're going to use it showcase a lot of new tools and citizen and independent journalism we have a drone helicopter that is capable of live streaming we have cameras that we can mount on buildings that can stay live for days and days upon end without having any recharging and we're going to set up our headquarters and our hub there and off our alternate communication networks and we're going to we're going to capture what goes on there maybe we can turn it into. turning to film if the battle in seattle is any indication of what's to come in in chicago for nato and all of the activists

that we're seeing already booked tickets and hotels to fly in from around the world you know i don't think that since super g. has been moved i don't think it means that we should we should pull out from protesting for covering the protests rather that it's the time that we should you know stay strong and advance to cover these these events. and act echoes for booking dado n.g.a. where you mentioned the battle in seattle which was ethical obligation and protest really to kick things off i think that was the one nine hundred ninety nine and there was a huge outcry from around the world and then the momentum of that was really snuffed out two years later with the events of nine eleven and then this coalesced again in occupy the wall street which is really that space that came after the the battle in seattle but looking at the historical frame of reference airy talk

about chicago you go back to nineteenth sixty eight of course the democratic national convention i think sixty eight this was an extremely important year and political activism around the world that was against the war the vietnam war but it seems to me as though we are in the midst of another war this is a war against it's tough to play or a put your finger on it but it's a war against civil liberties as the war against freedom of the press is a war against your generation it seems almost intergenerational that the old guard is simply taking all the money and running leaving you guys high and dry would you agree with that certainly i feel like our generation is feeling it more than the last generation i feel we at this point have have started to realize that something's wrong and feel like somebody's sticking it to us and you know to be honest it will. the technology and the way social media and the internet works

today we have a way to communicate that among ourselves and so it's it's not the same as it was ten years ago or twenty years ago we can instantly communicate what you know our are our fears about what's happening and organize better because of all the platforms that are out there that we have at our fingertips you know twitter facebook my films you know with it with these tools we're going to be able to make a change and communicate effectively which is also why i think the powers that be want to institute. rules and laws and censorship and censorship bills like sopa and act to to limit the capabilities of the game changing too which is the internet straddling lame gagan time and thanks so much for being on the kaiser report will be checking in with you again soon but thank you very much and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and space airport i

thank my guests jeff shoddily and weigh in gang and because i mean e-mail please this kaiser report at r t t v dot ru until next time i see guys and by oh. oh oh.

all.
