The UK’s Independent has just released a fantastic interview with Max Keiser in which Robert Chalmers describes him as “”the most widely watched news commentator on the planet.” Max and Stacy have been supportive of my writing and voice from day one, and this presents a perfect opportunity to thank them for all they have done in helping me have a voice in a world of corporate controlled media and rampant government propaganda. I also want to thank them for their tireless pursuit of truth and justice in the crony-capitalist, Central Banker driven neo-feudalism we suffer from today on a global level. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite passages from the article:
What has fascinated me, I tell him, when we meet in his London television studio, is that in Britain, in recent months, I’ve begun to hear his mischievously seditious RT show mentioned, with admiration, by taxi drivers, patrons in the Haringey Arms, and my window cleaner. This may not, I admit, constitute a statistically significant sample, but Keiser is clearly attracting people you wouldn’t necessarily expect to view a rolling news channel on a foreign network.
“No. I am pro-capitalism and I am pro-free market. But what you have now is not capitalism. It is a state- controlled, command and control, centralized politburo. Both in Britain and the United States. The States is run by the Federal Reserve, an institution that answers only to itself and to a few large banks. It’s modeled on the Bank of England. Ben Franklin said that one of the main reasons America revolted was to get away from the Bank of England, the mother of all central banks; the most pernicious and insidious of all.”
I can imagine some of his compatriots regarding such talk, especially his accusations of endemic insider trading in Congress, as treasonable. “Treason is a strong word. My family arrived in America in the 1700s and was active in the constitutional process that led to the Declaration of Independence. I would answer that charge by saying, as they do down south, ‘That dog don’t hunt.’
“Nobody has a greater affinity for the founding principles of America than I do. But what the people with power are doing now is not remotely connected to the ideals of the founding fathers.”
Any talk about treason, Keiser argues, would be more suitably aimed in the direction of men such as his principal bête noir, Hank Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs who served as the US Treasury Secretary from 2006 to 2009. “There is a revolving door for Goldman Sachs guys into and out of US government. And they are working against the sovereign interest of the United States. What’s happening is that all these bankers in Europe are consolidating into one major bank that’s going to be running Europe, from Brussels. All of that debt will be re-priced in some new European-wide currency. And that bad debt will be joined with all the American bad debt, in some new global reserve bank. And every single step of the way guys like Hank Paulson – who really is a traitor – will put a gun to the head of the American people and say, either you accept this new banking deal or we are going to crash this market.”
Frenetic and controversial as he may be, Keiser has a decent record on prediction. He was in Reykjavik, issuing bleak warnings, months before Iceland’s catastrophic economic collapse. He was talking about Athens years ago, predicting civil unrest and what now appears to be an inevitable Greek default.
“I came to London,” he says, “because being here gives you a front-row seat on the imminent collapse of an entire city. I think that the Eurozone is over-rated as a disaster area. They are not yet in as bad shape as Britain. The UK pound,” he continues, “is about to collapse. And the collapse of the British economy will be one of the biggest in modern economic history. Of course you will take the American dollar and the euro down with you, for sure. But this place – London – is about to go belly up. It’s … how can I put this?” Keiser pauses. “If you see me walking the streets of your town,” he adds, “then you’re probably fucked.”

Max and Stacy are the best at what they do.
I love the Keiser Report, both Max and Stacy tell it as it is! We know who the criminals are, they are just confirming what we already knew and they are correct of course, the UK economy is doomed. Both Corporate and individual greed has finished it! The UK economy can only have a matter of time before the roof falls in,and I can’t see what the likes Cameron and Osbourne can do about it, they don’t seem to have the intellectual capacity to deal with the oncoming train, they are like rabbits dazzled and frozen in front of the speeding car’s headlights. I have an impending sense of doom about the whole thing, but am an unwilling spectator to a catastrophe that I can do nothing about and which apparently, no-one else seems to care much about!
I really wish more people would wake up and that would be the perfect episode to sum up the issues. Great addition to the Keiser Report, Mike. Well said and well done.
