secret weapons program and turned their young beyond nuclear reactor back on since then every once in a while a missile flies and people see the war's coming and silence then another test of some sort shock horror and then silence again with crew just uses this is a bargaining tool to get what they want or how wacky the north korean state may seem they understand that launching one or two missiles against united states means they probably won't even hit their target and in return their entire country will turn into ash instantly this situation really isn't cause for concern until something big changes like the us not being in a position to support south korea japan or some other dramatic event that changes the game like china giving up their support for the north korean side but for now the cycle just keep going on and on and about two years the same headlines will be back with the same fear will be back lather rinse repeat but that's just my opinion .
2:29 pm
welcome to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser you know karl marx once said the last banker we have shall be the one who sold us the roller coaster you say i've just learned there's a roller coaster designed to kill passengers so naturally i thought that sounds a whole lot like wall street up down up down dead the amusement park version of this roller coaster designed to kill passengers is called the euthanasia coaster it reaches i have sixteen hundred feet followed by a steep climb it and then seven consecutive loops in which it suicidal passenger
2:30 pm
spins upside down while traveling a speed of two hundred twenty three miles per hour the gravitational forces ten g.'s enough to kill a person by draining the brain of all wide and oxygen cerebral hypoxia yes the financial casino gulag version of the ride is called the flash crash and reg markets ride. on this wall street flash crash every ounce of wealth is drained from your pocket as the gravitational pull of multiple fake trays traveling faster than the speed of light pull for enough g.'s to kill your entire portfolio death by financial hypoxia stacy that's right max we did discover this week this is a story that has come out in the last year suicide by roller coaster. of course it's a european who's invented this aesthetic death machine he calls it his name is julie jonas or bonus is really just a modest way he says it's an elegant and euphoric death the science behind it is
2:31 pm
pretty simple spinning fast enough and hard enough when your brain won't get enough oxygen to keep functioning the vertical rolls of the coaster would essentially create enough scientifical force on the body that the blood rushes down into the body instead of up to the bring the condition is known as cerebral hypoxia as you say but i say the connection to financial a poxy are the way that wall street uses high frequency trading and algorithmic trading to spin the global economy to spin customers around these incredible speeds forcing all their net worth to the extremities and killing the sensor that being the global economy so this is a fantastic way to commit financial suicide well this designer of this says like if the fall doesn't kill you then you'll be dead usually by the first two of the seven spins but there's five more just in case and with the broker you have the high speak frequency trading that fronts everybody but then you have the broker who turns turns turns their client and certainly by the end by the seventh time they churn your wealth it'll be all gone it will be dead well i would say that most of
2:32 pm
the global g twenty economies are dead right now they are called officially zombie economies japan is a zombie economy britain is a zombie economy it's already dead but they're keeping it alive by spinning the bond market with quantitative easing and other cotton candy style derivatives to keep this illusion going but it's already dead it's dead to death as already the rigor mortis has set in because they took the financial euthanasia ride and look this is his image his mockup of what the ride would look like as you see it doesn't look particularly fun he thinks it's like more fun it's a fun way to go looks like terror to me and that's exactly what most people look when they see the financial markets they say this doesn't look fun it doesn't look like even a funkenstein you know you get no you get no. free drinks even if just they spurring you to death and that's it but he says eventually this experience of taking the ride a company with disorientation anxiety confusion and you is crowned with the glock
2:33 pm
g. force induced loss of consciousness during which the body is completely limp and vivid bizarre dreams occurs such as being in a maze and unable to get out or floating in a white space not knowing who you are why you are here in this country in britain the population suffers from glock don't they i mean to carry the head of r.b.s. royal bank of scotland or the head of barclays bank they're continuing to perpetuate fraud they're continuing to spin the money ten g.'s they're continuing to steal they're continuing to defraud massively and the population has already been. killed killed all through austerity that day for the fraud the glock this julie jonas are bonus is also emblematic of what we see across the eurozone for solving a crisis here this is a euthanasia machine to sell to places like switzerland and luxembourg and netherlands but instead of just using a simple glock he has to come up with an elaborate for cock the thing which nobody
2:34 pm
could describe and seems actually more terrifying than just using a glock he comes up with an invention that is sheer terror and that looks like the solution to the economic crisis across europe so it's banker assisted suicide so this is different police assisted suicide or people run out to a hail of bullets hoping to get killed because they have lost all hope here it's banker assisted suicide so you let your bankers perform the glock rollercoaster of financial appox. death machine and with the hope that you won't survive because you'd rather not live in a world where barclays bank runs your government like so many puppets on a string now again go back to this euthanasia rollercoaster you see the image here now. to pose it to the flash crash of may sixth two thousand and ten looks like the same sort of death machine euthanasia once financial euthanasia ones physical euthanasia markets in search of a fast buck after disrupting the equity markets high speed trading is moving
2:35 pm
rapidly into bonds currencies and derivatives electronic trading has grown steadily over the past twenty five years but high frequency trading has boomed since the turn of the century as technology cost and communication networks improve it has also been associated with hair raising glitches most notably the unexplained flash crash of two thousand and ten that some believe has her confidence and driven small investors from the us equity market it's killing people off and it's making wild profits for the banks that are engaged in this sort of tech in our frequency trading which is nothing to the economy it just steals money pilfer from the economy it's a financial death machine and they going to roll it out for bonds are going to roll it out for financial products for a currency product because they just can't get enough of this death cult that is the city of london that is barclays it is r.b.s. lloyds. is just a cult of death is like jim jones remember the cool leg that it was all about it's a death cult but again you know how we have the euthanasia coaster and the designer
2:36 pm
says that there are seven loops most will be dead by the second loop but they have the five there just for security to make sure the person is dead by the end this is the same thing here they're saying that small investors have left the equity markets as if they did it willingly they were killed ok by being turned insurance and then frequent high frequency flash crashed now because there's nobody in the equity markets to pilfer from the high frequency trading profits have gone from four billion dollars in two thousand and nine down to one billion dollars last year so they're now looking for the next victims and now they want to go high frequency trading bonds currencies as if the currency markets aren't already killing enough people globally. there's already five drawing a day and four x. trades in the currency markets so they want to speed that up they want to do fifteen twenty fifty chilean dollars in court currency transactions a day of course this is the key to manipulating price levels of the fianna
2:37 pm
currencies around the world to hide the fact that you've got a smelly stinking corpse called the u.k. economy where the pound is crashing where the bond markets are about to crash when mark carney the hockey puck to the head brain damage a new central banker from canada is going to fly in to print money like it's coming out of a death machine death death roller coaster now the article also points out from the financial times that large swings in prices another critical condition for high frequency traders to prosper have also lessened so they've already killed all of the clients all the people who went on the financial rollercoaster are dead a lot of the small investors a lot of the middle class investors there's only a few giant traders whales killing each other or attempting to scalp each other slaughter each other and now they're saying that they need the large swings in prices and this is one of the things that this is the disaster capitalism the disaster financial ism that we've talked about is that they thrive on chaotic conditions they need them in order to make
2:38 pm
a profit the volatility has been sucked out of the system you see this with the volatility index the vix index which is trading near all time lows because it's tracking the vibrancy of a market composed entirely of cadavers. so you've got people dead people who are trading through artificial life simulation machines on death row or coasters and euthanasia projects attempting to create an economy to replace something that was viable at some point before the machines run by kleptocratic larsen ists in the city of london and wall street moved in and destroyed the globe and of course markets are hitting all time highs again and of course the financial media the mainstream media even the b.b.c. and channel four news are all trying to tell you to come back into the markets because look they're hitting all time highs but again the whole argument here right there quick point if i took that to the tallest building in the world in the middle east there the birds tower and i took
2:39 pm
a corpse up to the top floor i would say this is the highest corpse in the world it doesn't change the fact that it's a corpse i mean this rally of the stock market is based entirely on spinning dead corpses around a money. in a major well that off a canadian or something i just invented the very fact that this article then goes on to quote many firms say that a multi-year collapse in equity trading levels which have declined as investors pulled funds out of the stock market after the financial crisis is squeezing opportunities for rapid fire trades so there's no genuine real liquidity there's no real activity in there because it is a spinning turning machine that has wiped out and killed every single one of the. passengers on this financial roller coaster yet but now they have they've killed everybody so they have to look at back to the beginning and it's just corpses going around this eternal financial euthanasia machine and but they get a profit on the speed at which they can spin the corpses around the financial
2:40 pm
euthanasia machine and those profits are turned into bonuses and the bonuses are paid for muslims who are these profit sharing war criminals at goldman sachs and j.p. morgan and barclays bank and bury themselves after they've murdered the entire global population so that all they're doing is they're gaming the system. to build better muslims for themselves and their families as dead beat dead corpse vampire crooks. monuments to their thievery their larceny their transgressions their lawbreaking their fraud so much karl marx is right the bankers have sold us the rollercoaster that will kill which is the high frequency trading algorithms right well i mean marks some good things to say i'm unfortunately you can't really compare to the current system because we've we've grown a post-capitalist system we're in a something other than a capitalist system it's run by zombies and corpses and vampires who are trading transfusions of blood and volatility that other to make make it seem as though they
2:41 pm
have a pulse when they're actually just mummies and zombies and corpses and cadavers what he did predict the ultimate end would be hyper financialization hyper financialization is the equivalent of the seven spins is turning turning turning for turning sake just creating contacts and derivatives and contracts and derivatives and contacts and derivatives and spinning spinning spinning spinning honestly and i'll be dead don't kid yourself i mean because right now goldman sachs are thinking well the person is dead on the second spend we've got spins number three through seven to consider we can collateralized those spends we can monetize those spends we can sell forward the value of the corpses are spinning through the death spins and sell that forward to other clients who are hedging against the fact that they might be dead or alive or partially dead or alive at any given moment time and then sell that to a bank as a hedge against their position owning some kind of collateralized debt obligation based on another corpse or dead people that they murdered by with outdated mortgages and basically dr c. and they're going to make another fee on this so they always make money all right
2:42 pm

2:45 pm
you guys all right cosseting tell us about i b r c a the bank formally known as anglo irish which is now having its debts magically converted to sovereign debt or i b r c is that the or if you want over the collapse of the irish economy and both the legal implications of that bank implications of that i'm going on the completion of the well in back i b r c started as the bank which absorbed as a bad bank which absorbed together the assets of liabilities or do most insolvent institutions in our thank lauder's bank which was the third largest bank at the time when the crisis struck and also audition nationwide building society which was a smallish smaller size bank which also had the same problems as i see so it has a lot of other problems. carolus lawrence being the should you're in the big not that warm in large volumes and large quantities poor he's got sassaman on the line
2:46 pm
london in a sense that it was alone in the property development but over to investment and property markets in general and as a result of that the collapse of the property markets yesterday the collapse of those two institutions as well so knowing back i b r c was the tool or the vehicle for unwind in the two insolvent banks now weeks ago we've got the new legislation which is greed and not the structure to unwind i.d.r. see so in many ways the government is now shutting down the bank that it was designed to shut down the other being it seems a little bit like argentina and that the debts that were incurred by speculators are now being and situationally passed on to the taxpayer the senate's and who is going to have to deal with this for several decades right in there that there's a shell game or that they're running the anglo irish bank and for margin nationwide building society that was john's group to i b r c was still on the shoulders of the
2:47 pm
audition exchequer in the sense that what they did in order to fund day b.r.c. is that they should have different music or notes or his or notes counted as government debt officially as well and as a result of that because they counted as government debt and because they were fully guaranteed by the government they were eligible collateral no they welch will collateral not that the e.c.b. they were eligible collateral at the central bank of ireland the central bank of ireland opened the emergence of the needed systems line in order to fund a b.r.c. on the food that a lot of that's out there is thirty four billion which was a regional issue that those loads some of them have been repaid now there's about twenty eight billion outstanding and there was a schedule there on the wrist and difficult schedule to meet in terms of the payments of those over the years which was around into twenty thirty one and the government was unhappy with the cash flow which you can they'll you know if you're wired. government war when every year three point one billion in the markets roll
2:48 pm
in over the death in effectively repayment of the musical notes and the consolation of the way the e.c.b. was unhappy about that as well because it was that initial security on the field of that as well and therefore both the e.c.b. and the writers government had an incentive to somehow be structured to be different things than the foresighted government had much more when incentive and again about three weeks ago down the structure and was announced that they're structured now in years to be achieved without that direct and sample b. c. b. and these are the examining the means by which they are just arming as you structure them with i mean i wasn't saying they area have a situation where private speculators gambled they lost stay. near the debt transfer and so the public and away we saw in argentina and elsewhere michael noonan the finance minister is refusing to open up the books on audited books he doesn't want to have anyone look at these books what kind of outrageous nonsense is
2:49 pm
this that the taxpayer is asked to pay for these debts but they're not allowed to actually look at the books at all and michael noonan of course reviled character in ireland hated by most as being a charlatan and somebody who is very loose with the facts the truth and accounting measures your thoughts first of all i would flow back a little bit in terms of us now some of the market noonan michael norman's in the very difficult position as the minister for announced he's clearly actually that pop from the previous minister of finance he is he has some ability he's certainly shown some ability to program with the consul and his refusal to disclose those of nonsense as an executive order though i just probably because it's the form that they can a forty year deal in conversion of the three misery notes of their beer scene into the government bonds which are forty year borns on food all know accounts since the media year to well want to have those accounts and they're only partially. in with and also at the same time we are asked to do so with no projections by the
2:50 pm
government s. to the cost of that deal we have to remember that our government has produced absolutely and no estimates in terms of what are the costs and benefits of that deal are beyond twenty fifteen now i keep reminding you this is a forty year deal and want to have projections for three years now the reason why michael moon is if you reason and this here i'm speculating of course this is going to be if you want to educated guess why michael noonan is that if you're going to disclose those accounts it's very simple in the i.d.r. sea deal twenty thirty in the legislation which established the shot down by the r. c. and the conversion over there i b r c insert with distribution of b r c assets and liabilities there is an article thirteen in the bill which pretty clearly gives the minister why our holder nama which is a unique power in this case and never was extended before in any case at all it gives minister the power to come hell or direct nama can purchase certain any
2:51 pm
assets out of the idea or see at valuations directed by the minister so in other words that makes the cons sense it commercially sensitive information because you can give them material information as to the price and that not only spain relative to the value of the book and the garbage i think is trying to hold back on that simply so that people like myself and other analysts don't look at it and say well the second your clearly overpaid for that yeah i'm a let me jump banner you know clearly there are some obvious cation there and i'm sticking with my assessment of michael net and going back a couple errors i i got in general as financial journalism award from the university of limerick which is a hassle the university about because he's against transparency is against anyone telling the truth about the what i call the financial terrorism in ireland that he is a part of and the rest of them let's talk about financial terrorism let me talk about shock when for a second. he was ireland's richest man he went bankrupt gambling on contracts for
2:52 pm
difference on anglo-irish explain what these contracts for difference are and what role did the failed bet play in the downfall of anglo if any one transfer difference a very simple instrument which is a leveraged our i e n into their right to own the share at the fixed price but you don't actually hold the share your only have the right to buy out the share at the fixed price and the difficulty there without the instrument is that eight is a duty but if it can be fairly complex in terms of least price and it can be very complex in terms of pricing overall and in addition juror during the peak years there was a bit a significant leverage which was up action by those who were right in the form this will be friends so for example people like show we will probably availed well in excess of them times leveraging on those brought it in other words when the shares started fall in the value they got the whole margin all the junk we in fact have to be forward against the insurance company that he owned at the time when insurance
2:53 pm
and as a result of that you breached insurance was found to be in breach of a number of regulations in terms of count at the logic we're seeing things like that we do provisions and as a result of bear when insurance was effectively nick with a unsold onto the liberty mutual so i take it like shark land as like the irish warren buffett if form a profit or a gamble all that kind of crack at i would say that that that will because the connection would be very tenuous warren buffett is the fundamentals investor he is an investor who is basing his decisions on the active management of the shortfall there and there's the result of that and also on boxers and the fundamentals analysis of the firms shown queen was brought in his early years and he was the to interpret or he was like that and probably in the last moment of his interpreting neural if you want spirit was the the. between insurance since then since
2:54 pm
probably around say two thousand to two thousand and three chunk when like the rest of the country in the dealing with and dealing in property markets and of course he always had a dream to have banking to support for the ng large bank being sent through the forms for the occurrence peoples resented that we target we have to remember the context for different allow you to purchase anonymously the law of the just so you do not have to disclose the shareholding you have because you are in effect don't treat it on the share you just have a right or just that your guy took an enormous bat that he lost and his shit why are we crying about this guy he made of his enormous bet he lost and now he wants the state like everyone else to to to bail him out but now he is part of this golden circle what is their role and how come the golden circle is not in jail yet . well the golden circle there are several golden circles in arlon chunk women many ways was
2:55 pm
a newcomer when she just started in but then she comes back from the area of what's known as border counties border counties have always been the one to develop both in the republic of ireland and north of the border in northern ireland and they always wore considered kind of if you want a very difficult place to do business. by building a very successful at the time business empire shanklin was a poster boy effectively for both his prose is but also for the development of the northern ireland and the republic of ireland for accounts as you provided you know this employment in those areas and he's still regarded somewhat as a hero in those areas as well his disaster is bets on c. and d. as for the anglo he is kind of if you want that's a decision to use the bonds from the insurance company in order to cover some of those transactions those are really emblematic of the overall state of the nation time speculative activity was very upright everyone was caught up in that bubble
2:56 pm
and shanklin in many ways was just like any flexion of the nation on the ground the scale no golden circle well the circle really is it starts with the maples that maples is a group of the investors who together by a law firm in order to try to rescue the anglo irish bank when this young queen disaster started to unfold and the rise of the shares started fall and they were in effect offered loans by the anglo irish bank in order to purchase those shares themselves shanklin wasn't a part of that obviously but shanklin is a part of that the golden circle the are the circle of those who rule are the ron parliament who are embedded into the corporate structure that is governance constant a right of time thanks so much for bank kaiser report your marks and in time all right that's all the time we have. for this edition of the kaiser a par with me max kaiser and stacy herbert i like to thank our guest constantine go
