only in that he is an actual french general why well because sooner or later reality will come crashing around him and when that happens they will be left alone confused abused probably suicidal and that's exactly the path that these kids are being pushed on by these always volkan benevolent corporations and celebrities the cause a report next examining the songs of a buckling global economy and for u.k. views the documentary shuttle follows up on african-americans moved to the soviet union to escape discrimination back home we were taught and often with the latest to join us again but.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report well you know the world can't be too messed up if the farmers and france are protesting and dumping truckloads of manure on government buildings you know all right there's in the world in other news stacey of course the french farmers dumping manure in front of government buildings a something i do recall from the early days of kaiser before in the early days of the last global financial crisis so it could be a sign that everything is about to go boom they're a leading indicator remember we talked about the price signals that have been destroyed by intervention from the commanding controllers but this is a signal they cannot stop and that's the french farmer now another french farmer

when he's a up and dumping manure and government buildings you know this thing going to go down it's going down and ponzi is go boom that's our 1st headline the spac market is in the process of detonating and it will take the ponzi sector with it this is a piece written on wall street dot com specs are special purpose acquisition companies and they involve these pipes which are private investment and public equity so there's you know any time you have more than one shell when you're having to you know max used to be a magician in times square and if you have to start doing all that sort of maneuver and moving the shares over there on that over there and this over there but you have a shareholder you the retail person are going to get rich right that's usually a sign that there's something going on well this is arguing that the whole stack market and last year in 2020 they went blue they exploded and the amount just like in 1990 saw

a huge rush of i.p.o.'s in the dot com bubble well he said. this is similar to that dot com bubble where you have schemes of all these promoters and people pushing these facts and there they have insider shares that they get to dump so he's saying that not only is the schedule of the on locking of those shares by the insiders from 20 to 20 now starting to unwind so they're going to start dumping on that retail market but also that interest rates and this is where i think this guy is wrong on wall street dot com and it's not well for it to himself but i think he's wrong that he thinks interest rates are going to go up and therefore the whole ponzi scheme will fall apart but you and i believe that the fed runs this biggest ponzi scheme of all so they can't let any of the ponzi schemes fall and they'll end up buying the spac shares as well right touches on 2 major themes there one as you point out there with interest rates that the low rates are constantly enabling

a pipeline of fraud right so and all the mistakes are responded to by either a bailout by the government or this extend and pretend you repackage all the fraud and you increase the maturity at a lower coupon rate that's been going on for 40 years and you're right to compare it to the dot com era is probably the closest antecedent to the spac fraud in terms of the dot coms era when very when the dot com bubble hit in the ninety's and companies would go public with just a few shares and the wall street was complicit in creating these enormous 1st day pops and then the unlock shares would appear and these stocks would crash and the nasdaq lost 85 percent of its value over 5 trillion dollars in the in the ensuing crash of nasdaq but then that led to the mortgage boom and bust of 2008 was

a repeat of the dot com crash but repackaged so this. second major theme is that the wall street frauds going all the way back to the twenty's they're not different they're repackaged rebranded and sold again it's the same wine in a new bottle so the spac frog is just a variation on the dot com fraud which is a variation on the mortgage sub prime fraud which is a variation on the portfolio insurance fraud of 1987 all of these periods of fraud on wall street enabled by the media enabled by washington d.c. a trifecta of frog they that is remember fraud is the underlying business model of america if you remove fraud the g.d.p. would be it would be negative 20 percent as you're pointing out it all started in the dot com boom and also during that time that boom was used to get rid of classical to introduce the commodities futures modernization act which enabled all the huge fraud on the quadrillions of dollars level in the derivatives market but

it also helped us export our jobs to china so that's the underlying fraud in this situation is that we don't manufacture anything here we don't create much wealth the companies like that tech giants don't have many employees hate so they're not they're just shuffling around they're siphoning they're scalping the economy for for a few nickels here and there that adds up to billions of dollars over the air but the fact is that that's the underlying situation that's why we keep on having these cycles of fraud because they need to concoct a new one to generate an illusion of some sort of activity awaits if i get some of this money floating into the economy so he points out like that this is similar to the a to the dot com bubble and everybody keeps on using the same example life yet none of the specs none of these companies were allegedly going public with and most of it is under that whole e s g thing which is like environmental and you know social justice sort of stuff

that they're feeding into that just like when we. go to war we never do it for the oil we never do it for geopolitical imperial reasons we do it to save the women and children all the same sort of stuff and that but the example that always gets pushed is amazon but amazon lost money for years and therefore we're going to make money just like amazon last year there are $248.00 specs and this year already in 2021 in the 1st quarter there were $296.00 so he is saying but let's look back at the internet bubble a v.c. firm with i.p.o. $4000000.00 shares at $20.00 the stock would open at 50 and at the end of day it was close at $100.00 everyone chased it to get him then the brokers would upgrade it and the c.e.o. would go on television with a $4000000.00 share flow it was easy to manipulate the shares higher off of the newly i.p.o. company with level out well north of $100.00 a few weeks later it was a virtuous cycle and everyone played the game what was left unsaid was that there was another $46000000.00 shares held by management and the seas and the shares

would hit the market $180.00 days later you know in an era of no velocity of money lost is low the fraud velocity is fast playing the at these frauds have to come in fast we know that the last 1020 percent of income for high net worth individuals and corporations in america is taxed roughly 80 percent is offshore and that's the real number and so to keep that going you need a velocity of fraud so the money laundering that goes on if you can get from let's say sub prime mortgage back to rivet a package that was fraudulent he sold by goldman sachs and then that gets trotted in front of congress and they're questioning it while the question is going on they're rushing into a spat right so have to keep one step ahead of the law and so this will blow up of course but within 6 months there will be another made. sure ponzi fraud it'll have

another funny name and that's that 80 percent of the the money that goes completely on on taxes under the radar 20 percent 80 percent that's just of the velocity of the fraud and nevertheless it does cause they claim it's a victimless crime however when i look and i see the homeless and the starving and the medically in secure in america dying on the streets i would i would think that maybe those people are the victims right well how these suspects operate and they're kind of similar to the set up of the internet bubble and that collapse and the how that collapse happens is that he said once the shares of the insiders unlocked which dwarf the amount of shares that were floating on the market at the i.p.o. . you know they had 10 times as much shares that they held versus the share in the retail sector so once they were able to sell it they dumped on mass and of course

crashed the market so he believes we're at this sort of situation right now where a typical spac deal involves a few $100000000.00 raised for this back trust this is the only real float then a few $100000000.00 more is raised for the pipe remember i said that was the private investment in public equity these guys are buying it $10.00 because they plan to flip for again as soon as the registration statement becomes effective which is often a few weeks after the deal closes when a company merges with a spac billions a newly printed shares are given to the former owners those shares start to unlock a few months later in various tranches finally the promoters behind this back get to sell of course not all of these are fraudulent but when you're having all of these companies the shell companies being like merged into this and that and instead of just like a company like amazon is a company and it has an office and has a c.e.o. and that's the guy he is that was is the company and sets it up to sell books

that's what he started out online and then. you know you know what the entity is here it's once they start introducing these things a lot of fraud can enter it and that's that's when you might you know find suspicion you can't compare it to amazon the comparative the blind check pools of the twenty's that's what this is like and similar to the dot com crash well tell people what the blind check pools were there in the twenty's wall street would just float i.p.o.'s and companies with no business plan and just raise the money 1st and then we'll think of something to do with the money 2nd so they feel like company a b. c. d. they don't know what we're going to do right supply and check blind pool we don't know if the money is going to be used for same thing with the specs either a it's they don't know what to do with the money they have no business plan so it's not like amazon that's a stupid comparison anyone who makes the comparisons and the they they raise the money with no business plan. or number 2 there's a company out there that has no business being in a public company would never pass muster with the f.c.c.

to become a public company they reverse themselves into a spec and become a public company so that's just and remember when these things start blowing up we're going to have the other the flip side of the major fraud enabled by. they're going to use the 0 percent interest rate to borrow buy back shares to keep this float yes they'll do that or they'll get a bailout from the government and the taxpayer they mentioned that that happened to the dot com bubble where the banks that underwrote this whole thing they bought stock in the open market actually to promote the price to push it up to continue the bubble and yeah so if this guy claims that this is only possible with 0 percent interest rates in fact negative real rates so that we have the negative real rates and therefore the fact that these complex have no business model or business for the most part like it enables this to happen so i mean look it's great if you can make the case that this is a now 11 entrepreneurs' to build businesses but we know that it's just gutting the

economy of economic vitality causing. massive poverty in america violence unrest and a degradation of the country as a whole losing respect mortality rates are going up infant mortality rates are going up because of this it's not entrepreneurial this is the financial system baumann of the country by a few kleptocrats who are given free money and no morals or ethics to do whatever they want and the results are what we see on the streets today i mean that's it mouth i want to i want to point out that this of course is the end stage of just like what the cycle was in the 1920 so we hollowed out over the eighty's and ninety's and to thousands through private equity hollowed out the real economy other real manufacturing the wealth producing companies they hollowed those out and so now you have to create fictional company sent to hollow out because there's it's too hard to create a real company it's going to get wiped out anyway by private equity say it might as well and then to scheme to find the last few pennies available somewhere sist like

that you know there are homeless people all over right now all over the place when you go for a drive there's a homeless person at every single street corner and that's like these guys that these are like basically people begging you for money and you know shaking down nightmarish we're going to take a break when we come back much more telling you what. to do. in the.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids oids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did those after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of.

welcome back to the kaiser report outbacks kaiser time out it got a lot supplied independent and best for all around nice guy prolific twitter and smart did lawrence welcome back to max nice to be here surely you have been printed sense the pandemic began and now biden is promising another 4 trillion for infrastructure an even more challenge instead mean less and yet gold is tom playing why or it has to do with manipulation you know as it was slightly rising really interest rates and it has to do with the nature of this market and this game that you know people run to argue one direction they run too hard the other direction it also has to do with a little bit of you know the current stealing the thunder. you can't deny that and rightfully so i mean i look at them i consider gold to be analog sound money and becoming to be just also money and they both play a role have different characteristics but they both play

a role in the end of. an you know big client as great as hyper inflated or as the dollar as seen hyperinflation here i think it's kind of amazing hyper inflation is defined as 50 percent a month you know moving inflation and we achieved that point you know in december and then again in march so. you know i think a lot of people who are in the somebody camp or their excess dollars a bit coin goals kind of ignore but only it's going to last i mean i can continue going higher but i think this gold corrections just about over and i'm very bullish on works gold has become the poor man's bitcoin. is maybe ethical and it's hard to buy because all the coins are being scooped up by from the miners by the big institutional players people may have to resort to buying gold to protect themselves against inflation as kind of a go slumming in the gold market they say that will help them get us out. yes you

know there are different right i mean in the both great i love them both they are a lot. you know one thing i do think that some of the bit corners who are younger and i you know i could excuse the being you know an older guy i'm 63 and he wanted to because some of the things that the younger decliners are missing is just how evil the other side is here and how they're how they're likely to change the rules of the game on us at some point you know they did it to the brothers they do to me on september 23 in 2008 you know they're eliminated short selling the financials you know they've done it at various points in time they did on the game stuff thing and you know the notion i mean look i don't it's i don't equate i think it's going to win i think it's all it's beyond attack every cent that i don't you know i think there could come a time when the government could take some swipes at it and i don't think those would be particularly good for the price and so you know i think young people who say oh i got to be quite 100 percent because i'm from my point of view you know

that's not sounds money management you want to have diversity you want to recognize that all these things are just based on probabilities not certainties and so to be a 100 percent declines are all goal is in my view a mistake because i think you know it's not going back and forth as my here's my a summation of unfolds that's sure i suppose. that the government might come looking for a bit coin but of course it could be interpreted that they claim is out there stocking the government you know it's like. file swapping back in the ninety's with the internet some napster and then the subsequent generations of file swapping with bit torrent teixeira it totally destroyed the recording industry as we know it and they had arrived at themselves as streaming music services at a subscription this is doing the same thing the banks and central banks it will only destroy these institutions forever they'll never coming back and we're going to have a new business model based on picc line the sooner people wake up to the. the better i mean otherwise the pain that's going to be really hard for people like ray

dalyell the chest he's got one foot in big cohen and one foot and you know jay powell says back pocket. i agree and look i don't want you back to back i'm very much aligned with that point of view i think the only point i'm trying to make is that some of the young people who are filing into bit going you know are no where are not thinking through you know if they can haul all the way through an 80 percent drawdown great they'll be fine in the longer 'd term but you know think of those who bought it you know 18000. you know you need 27 seeing and and they didn't follow you know and so my point is just that you know as an investment manager and as somebody who's looking at advising people you know yes it could be the fastest running horse but it's also volatile orus and you have to understand i mean when people say you should be 100 percent right and nothing else

that you're exposing yourself to the risk of a drawdown that might shake out somebody who doesn't know you in standing up. or that i mean when that dried out occurred i don't know. but i you know some people are just priced days ago because it's the new money you know they may not be in a position to do that or they may not be strong and out and hang on to the bouncer i don't disagree with your conclusion about where we're going to. take some time let's talk about inflation because you know people have been buying gold and because of inflation the fed is reporting c.p.i. is 1.4 percent what you sent me a tragic just like they are lying lawrence going on yet this is beyond a search joke i mean it's just it's so funny it's you know it's like how can you tell a lie the lips are moving it's the kind of stuff. you know the price of absolutely everything is going up it you know many cases high double digit rates you know and so. you know it's only

a matter of time until the bond market wakes up to that and then of course the whole thing on rattles or money wins so you know i don't know what to say. so i found i watch tells a narrative or his speeches in front of congress carefully and it was amazing to me that he takes the view i mean 1st of all there conditioning us right he says yes inflation is coming and that doesn't surprise them and so they want us not to be surprised but the new code word that they're using is transitory you know it'll it's all related to supply chain issues you know so sort of the code prices and you know certainly there is some of that i mean i you know you look at the lower prices and what have some of the lumber mills and stuff and that explains a piece of it but it doesn't explain all of it across every single category and there's almost nothing that has decreased or is only inflated at 1.4 percent in the last year so i don't know how the government gets those numbers and i try to do you know that you said done except for but it's just a lie it's

a blatant lie and people know it and thus they're protecting them so by moving away in a gresham's law like effort to move into some money if you do the numbers and included in the c.p.i. include things like education health and housing then they actual inflation rate is 10 percent to 12 percent. right now right now going back to 17 and inflation is a tax right it's a stealth tax and going back to $776.00 you know there was a phrase. no taxation without representation i believe right and so who voted for this who voted for this inflation i don't get it why representative government or is it all right we got tyrants and it is this is what we were warned about what's a 100 something years ago lawrence we have got tyrants back what are we going to do look i mean we're going to hope that the sound money system to somebody on. i didn't bring this all crooked system down i mean the system is so broken we all

know it i mean a perfect example this in my view is if you poll the american people 80 percent will say they want term limits if we're representative democracy and 80 percent of the democracy was something why can't we get it well it's simple we can't get it because the people who hold the offices don't want to be threatened in their power in those offices and so the system is clearly broken we can all see it and the 4th turning will fix that and i think that you know the sound money movement is probably the best lever we have to bring this broken system down and then to reform it and you know that's what led to the mean of quite sexist because indeed you know these guys have power because they can print money and they get a benefit from look at jillian effect and if we take that away from them they won't have power anymore or a lot more of us than our of them and that's the weakness in their faith in their you know in the scheme that they're running and so it's going to catch up to him and you can just see it coming let's talk about stand back miller for

a 2nd he's very very short the us dollar mainly because of the 25 percent increase in money supply so that's a losing tray stand back and while it hasn't had a down year since $19812021.00 could be the big down here for stanley's longball these he short the dollar is getting crushed what do you think i don't know i don't deal much in the currencies and to me they're all you know the dollar versus other currencies i mean they're all feel right so i see all this you know milkshake talk and other views on. twitter as to where the dollar ought to go i don't have a clue i've never really traded the currencies except insofar as what i consider the ultimate currency which is gold and the emerging ultimate currency which is spent on so. you know druckenmiller is a smart guy no doubt and he may be right you know the timing on the dollar is tricky for sure chickie i'll say. i've got a 10 year treasury. spiked a little bit celiacs ago now it's kind of going sideways but

a lot of like bank of america is saying that the 40 year bull market in bonds is over that's a widowmaker that's that's a trade that's put a lot of people and they finance all money management cemetery over the past 10 years but it is the 40 year bull market in bonds over lawrence do you want to take a stab at that it could be yeah i mean that's that's a great question let's go back to the premise that the bond market is actually a market right i mean above market it's not really a market bomber it's a government signaling mechanism as best i can sell so you know you want to know where you're bomber and by markets or asked what the treasury are going to you know i mean i you know it should be over it's sort of been over long ago but it's not the reason you know the old firings right well that's that's how it all ends right i mean you know the bond strong sitting there getting boiled to say ok you know me you know $170.00 on it's an year and meanwhile inflation is raging you know it's

something to explain to 110 percent you know i'm getting so he got i'm losing it's out of my purse or power over the 10 year old period of you know i want out of here you know i'm going to sell his bomb go buy sabet point or some gold or some stocks you own just because they at least they move up and there are a lot of. you know i'm like gold and so you know. the set is going to be forced to buy and then that's going to show up on the balance sheet eventually i mean max you know us humans are about 3 years you were you know i don't see a whole area you know eventually you know this december is going to be named it right i mean this is the out emperor is going to be completely naked everyone's going to know that you know the vast majority will conclude that they're lying through their teeth about what they're doing to the monetary system and about inflation and they're going to have like rational human beings are going to protect themselves and so you're going to crack up boom right and that's right housing prices are up 10 percent year over year that's why housing. they're having multiple

bills over and that's why you know i went out to look at a car the other day our prices were shooting up i mean it's not it's absolutely nuts and speak of you know a 40 $1000.00 car is more valuable than $40000.00 in the bank there's just what that car is going to cost a lot more i'm sure yours are you going to cut it there the have you continue this on a 2nd segment thanks for being on the kaiser report lawrence. ok and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stays there but want to thank our guest lawrence apart until next time by all. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena. appearing in the.

new york times to get you do. you want. this one appeared in 2020. how often and where will knew. how dangerous for humans now my. russian scientists came quite close to working out what's going on. a full scale 3 d. model of the black hole. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic developments only really exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and
