was gunned down but thanks to james cameron's modern technology there is to patrick are 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 to toxic air and i thought well you know this is a good metaphor for dr ben bernanke ece hologram of the global economy and a global reserve currency of the dollar oh it absolutely is you've got dr ben bernanke 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with a whole a gram of animation to mask is death both are milking the system unconscionably to packer's milking the outdated copyright system
5:33 pm
creating a digital rights ghetto and then you've got ben bernanke he is creating the out money ghetto is swirling about with trillions of whole a graphic it digital imprisoning. feel like currency whip and it is of course ben bernanke used money printing make it allows for a kind of hologram of our economy there is no economy there but the problem with holograms of course is they can finally be turned off they can be hacked they could be just disintegrate into static well this is what happens over at the erp and central bank every couple of weeks they realise that the whole 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 graphics onto a bank system to create the illusion of liquidity to mask insolvency but it's
5:34 pm
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 jobs. disappearing austerity is kicking in people are dying but that's not in the whole graphic recipe book of the central bankers of the choose to ignore it of course not it's like that matrix where the hologram of your life you think you're eating friend task extinct and well you know what ben bernanke the statistical numbers they show that you're eating. gore may stay can stay in your eating pink slime exactly right joy of the matrix remember sold enough 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 for ever in the ghetto of losing their bodies or batteries same thing with the allusion of money we know it's not real but
5:35 pm
it pays the bills for now in seoul the prison warden shows up and puts a sol into the google exactly well you know there's a similar thing going on here in the us you're seeing people starting to see the little deja vu moments the little static in the matrix in the hologram a sprawling apart the cat walking backwards exactly us editor of the economist paper dollar and paper you're a world based 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 gold don't seem to and way home to another age doesn't it but you know who can reason it's come back into fashion of
5:36 pm
the last ten years and you're right i mean gold we trust is that you know people i think have lost value in the twentieth century religion of government money and this thing of the moment we don't really trust god. money you don't want something with the euro you look at the dollar and how it's being so much printed on the q listening she wouldn't trust this any more not well it is a religion is it it's a religion the paper money of financial times ascribed to this religion the economist the wall street journal they all bowed before the religion ben bernanke the paul krugman of the new york times they all bow before the religion the the theocracy this analysis on of paper money whole of graphic economic reality meanwhile the smart money the 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 to blow up just turn off the holographic paradigm now
5:37 pm
it's because my gold will need to be repriced at five thousand dollars an ounce i'm going to see a bridge new shirt. hair do you have here you know it's you know he says that he's become an ide gnostic 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 do peace currencies in a big way now the economist magazine has been saying for years basically ridiculing gold bugs so you're starting to see though that there are just too many cats walking backwards in this whole the ground for them to. you know we have this faith that the governments and central banks can somehow maintain this whole gram and it's all going to be ok but the insiders behind the whole gram machine they're starting to worry and buying gold he's going theist he's lying this is
5:38 pm
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 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 sea and just to look at this paper death but he talks about the whole gram always falls apart headlining c.r.b. index back to seven hundred forty nine to present and this was from barry ritholtz the site and it's the jeffries commodity index you see quite clearly there the inflation bottomed out in one nine hundred sixty eight and then look at the inflation collapse of the dollar essentially since one thousand nine hundred sixty eight when charles de gaulle asked for the gold back right well look the dollar creation just one thousand nine hundred eighty eight so one hundred seventy one serves us close the gold window there was always this quid pro quo will increase
5:39 pm
the currency will increase the and debt of this other country there'll be some g.d.p. growth as a result of it and the net result will be a higher g.d.p. growth and debt creation and this has gone back and forth for decades but in two thousand and eight we had the wall there is no more growth from debt creation they're 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 a worker for five years now and now people are starting to realize or so i'd say well maybe it's not a religion of becoming agnostic i've become an atheist that's one step too i hate paper i'm buying gold because i realised that they can't get any g.d.p. number how many transfusions they put in this corpse this is zombie this two particular hole the graphic digital non existant economy it's not creating jobs or force not bring real savings it's not creating real capital you can't have capitalism without capital and this isn't capital it's just digital losers all of
5:40 pm
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 whole of graeme and they're pretty concerned about us whole ogram liveris roussel. war is a tsunami of money brazilian president dilma rousseff used her opening speech at 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 cart to hana 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 cannibalize. their exports by not allowing the federal reserve in washington to screw up
5:41 pm
a global money supply supply and dilma rousseff when she was in the white house or barrack obama looked as though she was about to go give 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 you can hear he didn't see it mostly well that would have really been garlic to the vampire. so again this whole ogram we return to the whole of graham max lottery sectors beating trickle a provide winning bet many credit want to win the oregon or florida lottery don't purchase tickets buy their bonds instead so here you have this gulag casino a state where most people are inside the hole 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 pond and one home holding the gold the silver the real things.
5:42 pm
market was a lottery banks were dishing out mortgages like lottery tickets with one in a million or one in ten million actually making an economy canonic sense they sold those subprime backed bonds in the global markets and made a killing now they're moving all guys of there being any. economic justification whatsoever and they're just commodifying and selling lottery backed bonds well again there is the other in 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 if 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 gram yes that they would pay to go see
5:43 pm
a virtual two pack with their virtual money nobody would give a gold or silver and get to go see virtual to correct no they're too smart for that so finally max we live in this whole the ground here america's prescription drug addiction suggests the sick nation is growing taste for prescription opioids in the us as a concern what is it about our way of life that necessitate such relief now i'm not even going to go into the numbers we all know is like quadrupled in terms of like value nomen and various that opiates so but what about our lives is so painful oh it's great consciousness to go along to fake money in this picture cure so you have a three hundred sixty three full spectrum nonsense there's nothing real anywhere amongst in that garden of deception that is the u.s. global economy led by ringmaster in chief ben bernanke you know the central bankers who you. digital god and you know after dr ben
5:44 pm
bernanke the federal reserve i think dr dre would make a next nice federal reserve chairman that is. say see ever thanks so much for being on the gaza report thank you max go away much more coming away there right there. is a currency crisis. cuts. tragically integration. who will be left standing with the people in. the french election party. wealthy british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds of reports on r
5:45 pm
g. i am max kaiser welcome back to the kaiser report special guest alex empire from atari. riot alec welcome to the kaiser report hi thanks for having me you've been very vocal on the issue of copyright and on the issue of anonymous let's start with copyright do you think the act. people etc are the fight against fascism of our time. yeah you know i think this was always a very complex discussion you know where it is creativity like stock where does it stop and you know what my fear is that all those laws are being used you know today against political blogs you know it against freedom of speech you know to me that's like the direction it's heading you know so i never the government trust. my music is something with men with guns. you know darts and well guns was in my next
5:46 pm
question when they are i a the recording industry association of america justifies sending goods to shakedown single mothers and 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. from that 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 gets their fair share so. i don't really trust that type of strategy you know at all you know and also i thinking so many be corporations who steal from the artists rather then you know some kid in a bedroom you know it's kind of absurd to me to use that kind of thoughts. on an issue like that it seems like the dynamic is changing somewhat in the
5:47 pm
argument that they're protecting the artist is what is wearing thin now you re quote i came to the conclusion that men with guns employed by the government it was protect me from situations like this in the future you're writing about your experience of 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 on a tour they'd done and we were together at that time so they feel they recorded an ad good. in asia dead where our music suddenly appeared for camcorders you know and i was furious i was like they never had the permission to do that and then it was crazy to you know to fight this and card because we had like a small team of people and you can maybe basically end a band so you know how do you go about this in asia you know and it was you know
5:48 pm
what kind of sad but you know we speak about all these topics in our songs so a lot of politics and stuff so suddenly when you see a song appear in an ad. you know the whole thing is compromised and corrupted you know and it uses its meanings so it's about much more than you know getting whatever kind of 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 music out back in the days so you you did press finally and there was almost like a very independent network starting with the techno scene the underground scene and you know nobody out of a copyright and things like that it was like get the music out get the message sell
5:49 pm
the stuff if you can. and you know network with other people you know the major record labels really almost stop that innovation from happening and if we look at music now. you know this was like the most important innovation probably the last twenty years was like the pod and techno music you know so and the stuff you know deejays were using records creating new music from that so you know it is that dead piece 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 in the way they're selling music but also just the music they are pushing you know it feels like the sixty's or fifty's even sometimes to me you
5:50 pm
know you see some woman some blonde woman like singing about it while. you know there's so much going on with like the dumps step scene 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 enough you know but the industry. that's right it is right when it started there was a political edge to it it was wrong a lot of the songs were neo nazi at that time and i fascism you could say. during this period of time is twenty years of law 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. hardcore separate rats and now discipline is the circle coming around to 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
5:51 pm
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 you know in terms of like civilians the way technology was used to spy on people and i think this is still relevant now to many people because they 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 if you look at apple or facebook or you know those types of companies it's almost like they want to build their own zoo. which is integrated mino indeed internet what they call a walled garden as i say this is the last 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 death of me you know that idea because it's you know we should
5:52 pm
be able to connect with each other and and exchange information you know and if that is not happening anymore you know what's the internet phase of becoming another form of television on. you know that's how it feels sometimes able to where it's paper of you now you've donated your fee from sony using your song black flags to you know mr spence fund yeah so talk a little bit about this is this part of a strategy of fighting back and how can musicians like yourself now fight back hey 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 rode about you know basically the bradley manning case and week uniques we wrote the song called play and we had so much support so when this thing came up like i was able to place there be like sneak it in. like
5:53 pm
a few months ago hope. that sony was trying to sell to promote so i was like ok is it for me because it was a little bit like a revenge thing that i was able to put that exactly that track and to that ad and you know i thought ok this this money would be you know could be used very well you know in court 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. 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 is big with let's say that you're going to start at wiki leaks and. site of course the banks around the world shut him out of credit card companies that pay pal shut him out so
5:54 pm
just moving money around becomes a political ax yes now going back even before the berlin wall still back to the one nine hundred sixty s. ok music at that time of course was instrumental in stopping the. 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 and 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. but ari the teenage riot is really digital hardcore you moralism vented 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 essential yeah you know i think this is really about the artist taking the power back you know and i think. yeah we're facing an
5:55 pm
industry which is really hostile towards us and the also the the freedom of speech thing you know like i mean we've seen it with when iraq was started you know with the way pixie cheeks were bullied you know where were you stations like that the record industry and i'm like you if you're not allowed anymore to try a song about you know how you feel about certain things like music is also becoming so boring to me the most exciting music was created present 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 you know i guess specially in the u.k. it's almost like they constantly looking back to that time right now so and that's i think the same with punk rock you know and of the seventy's which we flecked to crisis in society then i think hoopla you know we would have never heard about many of the racist racism and stuff like that in america if you wasn't playing music
5:56 pm
eventually pop you were just a cello you performed and to patrick or hola graham the holy grail of two pac performed so this is a this is a new. chapter in the digital copyright phenomenon they resurrected from the dead essentially it pop artist is performing. this is perpetual copyright two pac is is never apparently eternal and but his his royalties will continue and presumably they can create a new two pack music at some point you know how do you see this develop to me it's almost like. it's like a metaphor and you know. the industry so walking zombies you know i was like either you have like puppets all of you have to do stuff like bad of cause it's dead is the fascination for the technology maybe that people go oh this is even possible
5:57 pm
but then i'm going ok you have caught it or something with the message or whatever to me i was in depth blown away by that thing and i have to say i was like ok good deal there you know was that musically exciting to have somebody from the past in your contract going forward would you have a clause in there that know all the graphic alec empires to be performing after your death he had some. election campaign party or something yeah you know if we need that i guess i have to do that. all right well right it's on ballot empire of atari teenage riot thanks for being on the kaiser report yeah thank you so much all right and that's good for this edition of the kaiser and for with me max kaiser and stacy herbert and i thank my guests alec empire of atari teenage riot going to setting up plesiosaur kaiser report r t t v are you going to like the next guys are saying.
