you might not go to a party because tired america losing empire because lazy j.p. morgan paying yet another multi billion dollar fine because a criminal yet another wedding party getting thrown because us about the department of justice losing faith and a valid bit quiet because concerned for all the n.s.a. spying on every single person on earth because just because stacy yes mag's well we're first going to speak about this because concern troll. the department of justice has lost faith in the value of bitcoin so you know they hold dread pirate roberts while out of bitcoin were something like one hundred twenty five million pounds in total between the two but they say that apparently the millions of dollars in between seized by the f.b.i. from ross albrecht and the first silk road currently stored in the set of online wallets appears to be on the move a source in the u.s. justice department said that authorities have access to the cache and may be

selling it off for less volatile currencies in the next few weeks this is exactly how they run fed policy is that they don't actually know they're not going to sell it or they do sell it i'm a buyer i'll be willing to give them eighty million dollars today for their bitcoin cash f.b.i. we've got the money we're going to cut that check today please contact me we're a buyer will take your pick going but you won't be stung a bit going for the same reason you won't be selling any bonds over there the federal reserve bank you talk about tapering you talk about having a policy but you don't actually do anything this is the fed's equivalent of tapering we're going to point position we're going to own one hundred good point position now it's like a map and if it does by some it's like gordon brown selling all of britain's gold or sixty percent of britain gold at the worst price and decades if the f.b.i. decides to sell at this ridiculously low price big corn in the nine hundred thousand dollars level imo but eighty million check today will take every single

bit coin you got well i think there because concern trolling as well is they're just concerned trolling because it could be a currency war some rumors are that china and the u.s. government are actually acquiring pick coin as part of their currency war against each other so it could be concern trolling china this week we don't know but the other thing as they give away something in this next quote the reason for selling is that the government has lost faith in the value of big corn and does not want to deal. with the volatility of the currency if they've lost faith it presumably means they also had faith at one point well they never had faith in bitcoin there are some stories circulating right now that the us is waking up to the fact that the dollar is threatened by bitcoin the dollar is threatened by crypto currencies the dollar is threatened by the fact that china is buying bitcoin so the government of the united states is actually looking to buy big coin and this idea that they're selling but coin is a lie of course another big lie because they need the big going to offset what

china is doing and china is acquiring bitcoin this is part of the currency war this is the chapter that jim records failed to cover in currency war or his new book the death of money i think it's go there's no chapter of bitcoin in that book either jim the currency war includes big point are you listening well that's another thing is because exorbitant privilege you mentioned that and this is in this headline regarding bitcoin congressional report warns a potential bitcoin threat to u.s. dollar a congressional report quietly released last month suggest that big claim could be a threat to u.s. monetary policy and makes the case for continued central banking control the report called bitcoin questions answers an analysis of legal issues was published by the congressional research service and they warned that it could be a case where bitcoin does threaten the viability of the u.s. dollar this is a report written by by congress for congress it does threaten the primacy of the

u.s. dollar and the federal reserve bank just like p.d.p. file swapping destroyed the recording industry and they are i am the m p a a had to resort to suing their own customers or the case of aaron swartz counting a guy to be killed himself this will be their only recourse is to threaten jail long term prison for people who use bitcoin but the cat's out of the bag people are already on the crypto freight train and they're moving away from the dollar they're moving away from central banking they're moving towards freedom. because bitcoin better coin better because because because because because of all the fabulous things you do buddy buddy who you're up to see that was or the wonderful wizard of big going to toshi nakamoto created something that'll kill stupid central banks and all the people in europe like the e.c.b. in the bank you've got a mark already you're all. because of betterment now we mentioned at the top of the show that the f.b.i.

holds all of these big coin wallets of the dread pirate roberts ross albrecht's and there in the headline here f.b.i. admits it's not really about law enforcement anymore ignores lots of crimes to focus on creating fake terror plots so a couple years ago it was revealed that the f.b.i. noted in one of its counterterrorism training manuals that f.b.i. agents could quote bender suspend the law and impinge upon the freedoms of others which seems kind of odd for a government agency who claimed his primary function was law enforcement you think that playing by the rules would be kind of important however as judge hudson that foreign policy is noted at some point last summer the f.b.i. quietly changed its backseat so that it no longer says that law enforcement it's primary function replacing it with national security and here are a shot of the fact sheet before and after. my jockstrap much less hold good coin or any sense of law abiding. protocols that would make any sense

given the fact that they are deeply involved with the n.s.a. and other organizations and mass surveillance and turning america into a police state look here's the here's the bottom line is that the f.b.i. by changing their mandate from prosecuting law offenders are the true main thing now forcing law enforcing national security quote unquote it just means that they give them the right to break the law for corporations national security agendas written by corporations and the energy policy written by energy companies the agricultural policy written by monsanto have this surveillance policy and prison policy written by corrections corporate america so the f.b.i. serves those corporate masters now they can break any fricken law they want so they can serve their masters under the rubric of national security which is a fricken joke. that was an abrupt ending because of the out joke because joke take that american semantics society. dialect society dialectic put up your garlic to smoke it because for

a good joke. you. so yes they are now no longer enforcing the law and we've kind of noticed that it was brought up in some by some journalists over the course of the financial collapse and here we turn to about specifically their reduction in the number of f.b.i. agents used to enforce the law against bankers they reductions in white collar crime investigations became obvious back in two thousand the f.b.i. sent prosecutors ten thousand cases that fell to a paltry three thousand five hundred cases by two thousand and five had the f.b.i. continued investigating financial crimes at the same rate as it had before the terror attacks about two thousand more white collar criminals would be behind bars the report concluded the f.b.i. set a white collar criminal investigators to work for j.p. morgan those are the people at j.p. morgan has hired former f.b.i.

white collar criminal investigators to commit fraud for j.p. morgan who was involved in yet another scandal paying another huge multi-billion dollar fine for their complicity their engagement and their participation in the bernie made off scandal at they said you know what you know sure we lot of money for drug cartel sure we're participating in bernie made of scandal sure we help h.s.b.c. launder money and finance hezbollah it's no problem located two billion dollars five because we made twenty billion dollars in profits it's a cost of doing business for us you chumps you f.b.i. and now works for us have been national security which means we just stuff our pockets with all the money that's being grabbed out of people's bank account through mail lands starting in cyprus soon to come to the u.k. soon to come to america because bale ends. well here you mentioned that they're the drug running and all the crime and the breaking the law repeatedly by the likes of j.p. morgan and h.s.b.c. and barclays in r.b.s. and deutsche bank in. general all of them right well benefits street birmingham

documentary criticized so there's been this channel four documentary here where they look at it and in particular in the first episode the street in birmingham well these people are on benefits and the most shocking bit and people of the tabloid sort that would be outraged they noticed that it featured interviews with people who admitted cultivating drugs and stealing just like all are banks admitted to libel or rigging which is stealing because stealing because stealing. a book if david cameron is going to point to the big four bags in this country as say that they perform a vital function that they're beyond the law that they provide liquidity that their market makers that they're funding my reelection campaign and they are role models they just be as a see as a role model according to david cameron george osborne barclays lloyds in r.b.s. if they are role models of r.b.s. just caught torching small to medium enterprises and stealing assets for pennies on

the dollar calling for that to almost in a report that vince cable is aware we can we're going to point to these kleptocrats these serial lawbreakers these larson mystic duplicitous. sociopath psychopath and say those are our role models in society then you can't blame the people of birmingham for living up and acting out as the david cameron's role models david cameron's role model was the pope or somebody else then the people in birmingham might choose to act differently but since david current which is all around interest b.c. who is funding hezbollah who's got suicide bombers killing big lot of pictures there david cameron loves to fight. let's kill everybody. i love i love you. and then you go to birmingham and i don't steal that back at you and go go to jail you know. because because. he's got to be the

worst prime minister under your well finally somebody sensibly tweet this is sick britain won and they sent in their own version banker benefits story coming soon of course as we know they because steel because croaks because criminals because cameron lets them because it's because you've got to go. because states and for the second half because can dot com. drug symmetry sixty percent of imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action.

coupons to enter our territorial waters they fish they load the fish into the ships and leave for europe. to do illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths. he survived the atrocities. to make a psychologist so she. has changed his life and the world around him. by giving. hope. and love to so many children. nicolae their work on. if you.

makes nice to meet you are you getting a massage there it looks like you're in that's the position. i'm in my work at so this is where i check my emails and stuff ok fair enough all right now kim dotcom you rang in the new year with a tweet that said let's encrypt the internet in twenty fourteen what have you got cooking. well guys all appalled secure communications and secure file transfers because as we all know the n.s.a. and their five partners all spying on us everywhere so america allows people to use encryption without having to know much about encryption it's all happening in the browser you can securely upload your files onto the cloud you can securely communicate we are working on a skype type the education that will be working within the browser fully encrypted point to point so that you can keep your communications private all right that you mentioned. talk about more magonet and a second here but you mention the n.s.a.

and of course your case overlaps this incredible reveal by edward snowden about what the n.s.a. has been up to about and spying on people invading their privacy and going back to your case where there was a raid staged on your estate in new zealand that was pretty much put together you know if you connect the dots we can see the hand of the m.p.a. the motion picture association of america chris dodd who was also instrumental and according to eric schwartz is the father at the funeral there is force point the finger at the u.s. government and chris dodd so my question is my point is that your new initiative here meghan that seems to be responding to a market need that came became subtly visible in viable what is edward snowden n.s.a. revealed is that the way a planet or is just an excellent businessman or what's going on there. well first of all jobs yes of course the person behind the level

off aggression in my case a former senator of thirty years best friend of joe biden who got the white house to put the full weight behind that action against me and my gop load so we had a radio with two helicopters seventy two hour. i'm t. terrorists cops and tech dogs and things like that tony outrageous for a copyright case but on top of this they also use the n.s.a. prism system and spike law which is to spy on me and when you hear the u.s. government apologizing every day about how this is only being used to fight terrorism it's really quite a joke because they have used it in a copyright case for hollywood assam's like euro air doing a lot of things and talking about allow things that we first got wind from the

f.s.f. john perry barlow and professor lawrence lessig of course work with our two arts just out of curiosity have you been since your business now is so much been involved now with the copyright freedom movement and they have move ahead to no longer extend copyright and to repeal copyright law have you been in touch with the f.-f. event a touch of docked with professor lawrence lessig at all just quickly i'm just curious if you guys have had any contact at all when i have it yet pfaff as pot in our case there actually representing a mega opulent user who wants to have a state up back and there are millions of others waiting to have their data back and they're waiting for two years already so that you have to ask yes is in our court case lawrence you know is of course one of the key figures in the intellectual scene around internet freedom so he is in touch with us and you know it's wishing us good luck. i'm not against copyright though i'm i'm against copyright extremism you know i think people who create something they have

a right to make money but it shouldn't overwrite innovation it shouldn't override things that make society function better and what hollywood is trying to do is they basically turn the internet into a totally sends or uncontrolled. network to their liking and that is what i'm fighting against. it's right to professor lawrence lessig start it with what he's fighting against is what he calls perpetual copyright in other words there should be a point when copyright when intellectual property returns to the public domain and from where it comes and there needs to be some protection for that to protect the public domain let's talk about how the the snowden revelations and have blasted open the doors to hundreds of billions of dollars worth of deals of gone bust because corporations around the world now realise that american technology is buggy and diseased with all this by technology so it's as if the american technology sector shooting itself in the in the head if you're in new zealand you have

a view on asia where a lot of the backlash against this is it can it get filson what do you receive from your vantage point is this true where american corporations are now losing out billions of dollars because of the overreach by the n.s.a. kim that is so really dangerous development for the u.s. economy you know because every want to sway king up to all these american tech products being backdoor and web services being trojan nice and that is something that is going to lead to more and more countries governments and law school parishioners moving away from services that they have to deem untrustworthy and i think you know the effect that this is going to have with the next decade on the u.s. economy is going to be significant but this also a huge opportunity for other countries especially smaller companies to not enter into the tepee but do their own thing and

a step or shorts that op role in ovation pro technology that protect the internet that gif operators safe harbors so that's a huge opportunity here to cap off a mess of slice off the internet economy from the u.s. government right you mention the t p p this is the lead. this trade the el can you talk a little bit about that for viewers who might not be familiar with it the t.p. is basically a. domination treaty for american corporations they want to control patents they want to control copyright they want to control medicine around the globe and it's funny that the m.p.a. it's actually drafting the. paragraphs and cite the t v p that have to do with copyright and it's basically a giant wish list of u.s. corporations what they want to have in the global economy and it's a very scary. treaty that i hope it's never going to come to fruition let's

talk a little bit about mega net which is something they're working on now so how is it different than what's in use today and what can we expect from meghan that is it is it coming at it in the pipeline as a coming so and talk a little bit about meghan that so magonet is a decentralized network that it's not ip based so you know it allows you to transfer data on a basically on a on a separates internet it's a new internet something that is outside the control off anyone who wants to control the internet and i've been thinking about this for you know two years since the raid happened and it's coming together so it's going to be a very nice way for people to use a new infrastructure that doesn't come with all these hassles and privacy intrusions that we have today the entire network will be fully encrypted and it's going to change the world. all right i'm sure well so far you've been very

instrumental in bringing about all kinds of paradigm shifting technologies is very exciting and another development that came around during your period of becoming famous around the world as well as edward snowden we also have at the same time the breakout of crypto currency is this is another interesting development in the field of encryption i you're very involved in encryption and here you have coined which is a crypto currency it's an encrypted currency we've exchanged emails a little bit about this in the past and i want to know what your current thinking is on crypto currency is and is there room for that in your plans going forward ken dot com well some very exciting developments you know it might lead to a would currency it might lead to something that unifies the global transaction system so you know it's still in its early stages in its infancy and i think you

know over the next decade it's going to grow to become one of the most important ways to to pay for things and transfer assets right. that's a bit of a service i was hoping you might get a little bit and you know us deeper into this in terms of as on the business side of what you're doing do you see a role for crypto currencies on the business side of the can dot com ventures going forward because it seems to play into a theme which is encryption and what can you give us any more thoughts on this or are you playing it close to the vest for competitive reasons i'm playing a show so the chest you know i have some interesting things going in that space at maker we accept the big bitcoin on day one all through the launch so you know i think that sent a clear message what my position is and we gots to this type of currency ok now.

there is a crypto currency in israel and that goes by the name of make a coin so for they are let the people go today definitively do you have anything to do with mega coins nothing at all ok fair enough let's talk a little bit about the copyright again and file sharing and the whole business model has been completely disrupted by developments in technology so uploads to torrent sites were up fifty percent in twenty thirteen so despite all the efforts by the m.p.a. people are still going to torrent sites and it's still transforming the industry are they fighting a losing battle chris dodd on the m.p.a. alternately and it was what your thoughts on this what chris thought is basically putting his hand into a giant river and is trying to stop it with this hand so that's never going to happen and it's never going to work they are spending a lot of energy and time and money on fighting something that they come to feed the only way they can defeat it is by adopting the. into the new reality by changing

their business model to something that works and functions better with the internet world wide release of content on the same day pricing the content needs to work on any device you know there are so many things that hollywood could do to improve their business model to be more compatible with the internet but they haven't really woken up to that yet. right they're very they're very slow to embrace the videotape but it came along ever they fought that tooth and nail eventually it expanded their business dramatically they weren't gay necessarily on david days when they came along they're not keen on new technologies even though in the end they tend to expand what these companies do and their revenue is mixed but do you want to know why police it's this fund raising model that hollywood has they basically have a network of towers and license partners around the world so whenever they shoot a new movie they send the script around to all these licensing partners around the

world and pitch that movie to them tell them who is the director and who are the actors and then they are raising the majority of the money that it costs to produce the movie from foreign licensing ponderous so their risk to invest into movies is very minimal and it's basically a license to print money but the trade off is that these foreign license holders then own the license and of course you can do them any more say well we're doing a global release of this content because of the license would have their own interests they want to put it out and then market when they want they want to have a movie premiere they want to have the rights for that market and control it and that's why even if hollywood one tips today create a website we can just go and find any movie and stream it from any time treat they couldn't do it because they have created the model that made that impossible right there pre-sales model is to mitigate their wristband is zero and the hollywood

become run overrun by hedge fund managers who are in bed with bankers are these the same kind of tricks in the banking over to the intellectual property anyway kim dotcom or out of time but thanks so much for being on the kaiser report very nice to be here thank you max for having me and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey herbert i'd like to thank our guests cam dot com if you'd like to get in touch tweet us at kyra. the report and so much thought to keep. coming. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. faces change the world lights never. see. the old picture posted states leaves.
