news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to hope for asians are the day. the book. max kaiser this is the kaiser report so how about a punk do you feel lucky stacey or burt. are you seeing me very being a hologram i see i see what all i see tell the war well max i want to turn to this little clip of a performance here and only in the last week. yes

who you see there that's too proud shook her i thought tupac was dead i really was gunned down but thanks to james cameron's modern technology there's two particular performing again oh this is fantastic we've got zombie banks now we've got the zombie performers. you know apparently the decision to do this was dr dre and dr dre has created this hologram as an artist previously known as tupac she care and i thought well you know this is a good metaphor for dr ben bernanke ece hologram of the global economy and the global reserve currency of the dollar oh it absolutely is you've got dr ben bernanke he creating a whole the ground of liquidity to mask insolvency there's two packs a core with a whole a gram of animation to mask his death both are milking

the system unconscionably to packer's milking the outdated copyright system of creating a digital rights ghetto and then you've got ben bernanke was creating fear out money ghetto is swirling about with trillions of whole a graphic digital imprisoning. like currency whip and it is of course ben bernanke he's money printing that allows for a can of hologram of our economy there is no economy there but the problem with holograms of course is they could suddenly be turned off they could be hacked they could be just disintegrate into static because what happens over the earth in central bank every couple of weeks they realise that the old ground is about to be turned off and so they jack in another trillion euro same thing in the fed same thing at the bank of england same thing with central banks all over the world they're trying to can join their holograms to create a global holographic central bank system to create the illusion of liquidity the

mask insolvency but it's a wearing thin at the margins the the digits are are are not holding together the little photons of of of illusion that we are supposed to believe represents economic activity meanwhile wages are crashing job. disappearing austerity is kicking in people are dying but that's not in the whole a graphic recipe book of the central banker so that you have to pour it of course not it's like the matrix where the hologram of your life you think you're eating fantastic steak and well you know what ben bernanke the statistical numbers they show that you're eating princess to warm a steak instead you're eating pink slime it's exactly right julie patz a little of the matrix remembers holding up that big forkful of states and he goes i know this steak is not real but it tastes so good and he sold out his friends in the matrix and they were consigned to live forever in the ghetto of losing their

bodies as batteries same thing with the illusion of money we know it's not real but it pays the bills for now in seoul the prison warden shows up and puts a sol into the good exactly well you know there's a similar thing going on here in the us you're seeing people starting to see their little deja vu moments the little static in the matrix in the hologram is falling apart the cat walking backwards exactly us at it are of the economist paper dollar and paper euro will debase in a big way so this is matthew bishop the u.s. editor of the economist and he was interviewed by the wall street journal about gold and why people have lost faith in the twentieth century religion of government backed up money so we're going to turn to a clip here by the way the wall street journal introduced the concept of gold as being somehow antiquated or old fashioned don't seem to and we hope to another age

doesn't it but i do you know who can reason it's come back into fashion of the last ten years if you're right and gold we trust is that you know people i think have lost my you in the twentieth century religion of government money and this new moment we're going to trust. you know what something we do you are you look at me dollar and how it's being so much me printed on the cute little nothing she wouldn't trust any more not well it is a religion is it it's a religion of paper money of financial times ascribed to this religion economist the wall street journal they all balbi for the religious ben bernanke a paul krugman of the new york times about before the religion the the theocracy that fanaticism of paper money hole of graphic economic reality meanwhile the smart money if people with actual wealth the people who are self-made like myself are accumulating gold and silver have been for ten years we can't wait for this thing

a blow up just turn off the holographic paradigm now it's because my goal was needed to be repriced of five thousand dollars an ounce i'm going to buy stacy a. new shirt. hairdo you have here you know it's you know he says that he's become an agnostic or an atheist with regard to his belief in government backed money as he fears that governments are in a position where they are going to debase currencies in a big way now the economist magazine has been saying for years basically ridiculing goldbach's so you're starting to see though that there are just too many cats walking backwards in this whole the ground for them to act you know we have this faith that the governments and central banks can somehow maintain this holy ground it's all going to be ok but the insiders behind the whole gram machine they're starting to worry and buying gold is still a theist he's lying this is

a disease or he's a closet gold buyer who for the purposes of maintaining his position as a propaganda meister must now claim to be oh i'm an atheist i don't believe in the religion of paper bodum anymore. it is a paper buggery which is destroying the global economy but we know on the sly he's buying gold and he's buying it in the. end just to look at this paper death and he talks about the whole grammar always falls apart headline c. or b. index back to seven hundred forty nine to present and this was from barry ritholtz insight and it's a jeffries commodity index you see quite clearly there that inflation bottomed out in one nine hundred sixty eight and then look at the inflation collapse of the dollar essentially since one thousand sixty eight when charles de gaulle asked for the gold back right well look the dollar creation science in sixty eight says i think seventy one serves us close of gold went down there was always this quid pro

quo will increase the currency will increase the and headed this other country will be some g.d.p. growth as a result of it and the net result will be a higher g.d.p. growth then debt creation and this has gone back and forth for decades but as you thousand and eight we have the law there is no more growth from debt creation there now trying to desperately pump up the debt the wall of debt to create any kind of g.d.p. growth but it's not working as work for four or five years now and now people are starting to realize or so i say well maybe it's not a religion i'm becoming agnostic i've become an atheist that's one step too i hate paper i'm buying gold because i realize that they can't get any g.d.p. how many transfusions they put in this corpse this is zombie this to partially cure whole the graphic digital non existant economy it's not creating jobs or for cycling real savings it's not creating real calcutta all you can have capitalism without capital and this isn't capital it's just digital loads it's all the

electrons dancing on the head of a pin well let's look at who else in the world importantly those who have the resources are also looking at these people living inside the hologram and they're pretty concerned about us whole ogram liveris roussel. if war is a tsunami of money brazilian president dilma rousseff used her opening speech to the six summit of americas to reiterate her criticism of western monetary policy which she said was damaging latin american industry the summit which was held last weekend in carter haina colombia brought together thirty three heads of state from across the americas including the u.s. president barack obama dilma rousseff reiterated her criticism of european and american monetary policy she said of course we must take action to defend ourselves to defend is different from to protect it means not letting our manufacturing sector cannibalized rights genies defend their exports. allowing

the federal reserve in washington to screw up the global money surprise supply and dilma rousseff when she was in the white house of barack obama looked as though she was about to go they give him a big old snap and say look stop it stop it like she was lecturing him and barack was like a little boy chooses to nest he's holding up a piece over you didn't hear you didn't see it mostly well that would have really been garlic to the vampire. so again this whole ground we return to the whole of gram max lottery sectors beating triple a provide winning bet muni credit want to win the oregon or florida lottery don't purchase tickets buy their bonds instead so here you have this gulag casino state where most people are in fire the whole the ground where we're all having fun and mega millions are there for everybody but the only ones getting rich are the ones holding the bonds one home holding the the gold the silver the real bangs both the subprime market was

a lottery banks were dishing out mortgages like lottery tickets with one in a million and one in ten million actually making any kind of economic sense they sold those subprime backed bonds in the global markets and made a killing now there and removing all dies of there being any. economic justification whatsoever they're just commodifying and selling lottery backed bonds well again there is the other crucial ingredient to this one cannot live in a hologram in one unless one chooses to live in a hologram with two posh occur over fifty percent of those questioned on huffington post said they would totally pay to go see him why not it's just as real as the real two pox occur to them so these people who live in this holy ground society lots of people line up around the block to go buy a mega millions even though they know they're there they would be better off buying bonds backed by those mega million lottery tickets but people choose to live the

whole ground yes they would pay to go see a virtual two pack with their virtual money nobody would give a gold or silver a get to go see a virtual too perfect no they're too smart for that so finally max we live in this hole of graham here america's prescription drug addiction suggests the sick nation the growing taste for prescription opioids in the us is a concern what is it about our way of life that necessitates such relief and i'm not even going to go into the numbers we all know it's like quadrupled in terms of like value nomen and various other opiates so but what about our lives is so painful or straight consciousness to go low fake money in the states to cure so you have a three hundred sixty three full spectrum nonsense there's nothing real anywhere amongst in the garden of deception that is the u.s. global economy led by ringmaster in chief ben bernanke you know the central bankers you. they are digital garbage and you know after dr ben bernanke you

believe the federal reserve i think dr dre would make a next nice federal reserve chairman that is so optimistic stacey ever thanks so much for being on the guy's report thank you max don't go away much more coming away stay right there. the official location your body phone the i pod touch from the top story. life on the. video. feeds now in the palm of your. hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.

vocal on the issue of copyright and on the issue of anonymous let's start with copyright do you think the act so people like cetera are the fight against fascism of our time. yeah you know i think this was always a very complex discussion you know where does creativity like stock where is that stock and you know what my fear is that all those laws are being used you know the day against political blogs you know it begins freedom of speech you know to me that's like the direction it's heading you know so the government tries to protect my music or something with the man with the guns. you know doubts well guns was in my next question when they are i a the recording industry association of america would justify sending goods to shakedown single mothers kneecap grannies they say they're doing so in order to

protect artists like yourself your thoughts i often never receive that type of money you know from that some i think they protect the powerful in that industry that's the only thing the system is set up to protect those you know i think the majority of artists never really get stuff out so. i don't really trust that type of strategy you know i had on you know also i thinking so many be corporations who steal from the artists rather then you know some kid in a bedroom right you know. it's kind of absurd to me to use that kind of flaws. on an issue like that it seems like the dynamic is changing somewhat and the argument that they're protecting the artists is what is wearing head now you're a quote i came to the conclusion that men with guns and employed by the government and want to protect me from situations like this in the future but you're writing

about your experience at sony stealing your own music tell us about this big corporation yeah you know it was crazy like over ten years ago i got this v.h.s. tape from a team that was doing a documentary on nine inch nails a tour they'd done and we were together at that time so they they recorded an ad. in asia dead where our music suddenly appeared for a camcorder you know and i was furious i was a they never had the permission to do that and then it was crazy to you know to fight this and card because we're like a small team of people and you can play basically end a band so you know how do you go about this in asia you know and it was you know good kind of sad but you know we speak about all these topics in our song so. politics and stuff so suddenly when you see a song appear in an ad. you know the whole thing is compromise and corrupt you know

and it uses its meanings so it's about much more than you know getting whatever thousand dollars or something you know i mean so tired of it. when you guys started out really twenty years ago yeah like the first record we released about twenty years ago was like a white labor was so interesting like you know it was hard to get the music out back in the day so you know you did press. and it was almost like a very independent network starting with the techno scene the only one scene and you know nobody i've heard of a copyright and things like that it was like get the music out get the message sell the stuff if you can and your network with other people you know while the major record labels we all must stop that innovation from happening and if we look at music now. you know this was like the most important innovation probably get us twenty years was like the plug and techno music you know so and the stuff you know

deejays were using records creating new music from that so you know it's that dead feeds right into that debate is you know like where do you draw that line you know because i think you can be so strict about everything that music just doesn't move forward you know we see it i think we see on one side the major record labels who are like so backwards and so i could you know putting out very boring music you know and to me that is the problem of the music industry crisis you know that they are stark not only the way that selling music but also just the music they are pushing you know it feels like in the sixty's or fifty's even sometimes to me you know you see some woman some blonde woman like singing about it while. you know there's so much going on with like the japs step. in the underground like people using noise you know like hip hop stuff it's. it's so much more exciting you know

but it is not being recognized you know by the industry now it's atari teenage riot when it got started there was a political edge to it it was brought out of the songs were anti neo nazi at that time that i fascism you could say. during this period of time these twenty years while facing toward the enemy from the previous generation there's a new enemy kind of crept up behind us behind you guys behind musicians it's a new fascist regime with these hardcore technocrats and now discipline is the circle coming around that does the audience your audience see it this way that there's a there's a connection politically what you're talking about twenty years ago and this this techno technocratic regime if you and i think you know what was interesting that we you know we started shortly after the burden was you know and i think i've seen so much like in eastern you know socialist germany no in terms of like civilians the

way technology was used to spy on people and i think this is so relevant now to many people because i did the way technology is used. by those in power is you know i did kind of goes into that direction and i like the you know if you look at apple or facebook or you know those types of companies it's almost like they they want to build their own zoo. which is integrated you know in the internet or what they call a walled garden ok so that's that's as it passed with digital rights management it's in their walled garden and the access to these places is becoming expensive yeah and to me that's the get you know that idea because it's you know we should be able to connect with each other and exchange information you know and if that is not happening anymore you know once the internet is becoming another form of television on. you know that's how it feels sometimes right cable t.v.

where it's pay per view now you've donated your fee from sony using your song black flags to the anonymous defense fund yeah so talk a little bit about this is this part of a strategy of fighting back and how can these issues like yourself now fight back you know to me it was like anonymous like there was so many activists who helped us you know spread the music and because we wrote about you know basically the bradley manning case and we can lease we wrote the song called play exe and we had so much support so when this thing came up like i was able to place there be like sneak it into. like a few months ago or. so and it was starting to promote so i was ok is that for me because it was a little like a revenge thing that i was able to put that exactly back track and into that

ad and you know i thought ok this this money would be you know could be used very well you know on court too because i think everybody should have the right to defend themselves you know and to afford the right type of lawyer so i was like ok you know the moment it arrived on my account i was like ok i'm going to transfer it on so you know i was kind of getting a lot of angry phone calls and then from those guys but you know whatever we mention the redirecting the funds that of course redirecting funds this big with let's say the joint assigned to the wiki leaks and. site of course the banks around the world shut him out the credit card companies that pay pal shut him out so just moving money around becomes a political ax yes now going back even before the berlin wall was go back to the one nine hundred sixty s. . music at that time of course was instrumental in stopping.

vietnam war yes and it was really politicized because in the fifty's it was very lawrence welk and not very political at all and in the sixty's came around was highly politicized that it was fed right into that anti-war movement and so here we are in two thousand and twelve there is a digital war going on. sorry a teenage riot is really a digital hardcore you more or less invented digital hardcore so is that is this is a war on i mean it's been called into the war is this really is your music ever been more relevant or more it's essential yeah you know i think this is really about the artists taking the power back you know and i think. yeah we're facing an industry which is really hostile. us and the also the the freedom of speech thing you know like i mean we've seen it with when the iraq war started you know with the way dixie chicks were bullied you know there were

a you stations like that the record industry and i'm like you if you're not allowed anymore to write a song about you know how you feel about certain things like music is also becoming so boring to me and most exciting music was created for example in the time you mentioned you know end of the sixty's you know i think the music industry's still draws from that a lot especially in the u.k. it's almost like they're constantly looking back to that time right now so and that i think the same with punk rock you know i know the seventy's which reflected a crisis in society then i think hoopla you know we would never. many of the racist racism and stuff like that in america if it wasn't for hip hop music you mentioned hip hop you're just jealous you performed and two packs a coup or hole a gram the holy grail of two pac performed so this is a this is a new. chapter in the digital copyright phenomenon they've resurrected from the

dead essentially hip hop artist who's performing. this is perpetual copyright two pack is is never apparently eternal and but his his royalties will continue and because presumably they can create a new two pack music at some point what how do you see this develop to me it's almost like. it's like a metaphor you know. the industry is a team like walking zombies you know it's like either you have puppets all of you have to do stuff like that of cause it's there is the best nation for the technology maybe that you go oh this is even possible but then i'm going ok you have caught it something with the message or whatever i did to me i was that blown away by that thing but i have to say it was a. good you know that you know it was that musically exciting to to have somebody

from the past in your contract going forward would you have a clause in there that i know a whole graphic alec empire is to be performing after your deathbed had some. election campaign palladio something yeah you know if we need that i guess i have to do better. all right well right of time alec empire of atari teenage riot thanks for being on the kaiser report yeah thank you so much all right and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser in for with me max kaiser and stacey herbert i want to thank my guests alex empire of atari teenage riot going to seven email please just organize a reported r t t v are you guys are saying. i
