Max Keiser
October 6, 2010
Some comments in this report are mine.
I will share with you some information on Max Keiser whenever our middle son emails me with good reports from the Keiser Report. I am not a regular listener to the Keiser Report.
Banksters should stop mooning us and lend more money to the people. Banksters and financial institutions are stealing our money. Equities are for losers because equities are the easiest investment to steal from us. Smart people are into gold. Foreign investors want out of the U.S Treasury Bonds. We have deflation in America. Our government is a panic mode on how really bad is our economy. Banksters and financial institutions are guilty of fraud and no one is going to jail for their crimes. The U.S dollar cannot replace gold!
There are economists who say that wars are good for our economy. We are living in a country that will be at war for at least one hundred years. We will go from deflation to hyperinflation.
Where countries are increasing the retirement age from 60 to 62, the people are taking to the streets in protest.
Financial elites control governments and the people. Banksters should not be given a free ride. Banksters are continuing to steal our money. Goldman Sachs is committing financial terrorism and no one is in jail. The financial elite are corrupt and our present system is corrupt. This financial corruption has been going on for forty years. Greece is seeking to investigate Goldman Sachs. There are not one financial elite and their corruption who have been jailed for perpetrating fraud on the American people for stealing their money.

Gerald you forgot to include yet another secondary effect of the financial institutions on the technology of our country. That is, they are hiring all the top notch engineers and scientists from our best schools.

It turns out that the USCC (United States Chamber of Commerce) may actually be able to separate out the money they solicit from foreign governments that goes to the general fund so those funds won't be used to influence our elections. Those funds are channeled to the other USCC general fund, the Unamerican Secret Chamber of Commies, general fund.

@chuckie8, personally, I believe that the conservative crazies are hiring these engineers and scientists to work on the rigged electronic voting machines to help switch the votes from Democrats to Republicans. Financial institutions have already the brightest crooks and thieves stealing our money.

After reading this quote from St. Francis of Assisi there may still be hope for me. I have proclaimed on Thom's blog that I am a sinner.
**Reflection of the Week**
"I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, [God] can work through anyone."
- Francis Of Assisi

Yet, here is another effort to treat Americans as slaves and as mushrooms. The internet has been a great educational tool for me. We are truly a police state.

Here is more news to enslave Americans!!!
#10
More "mission creep" from loss of freedoms to more wars!!!!!
#11
Our imperial generals seem determined to blunder into a nation of 175 million hostile people without any clear strategy. Unable to subdue the Pashtun tribes of Afghanistan, they are now attacking the Pashtun tribes of Pakistan. America does not need more enemies.

This is off-topic but important...
The "October Surprise Bill" is:
HR 3808, Interstate Recognition of Notarization Act
White House contact info: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact
Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
Fax: 202-456-2461
The White House contact volunteer said they are getting a high volume of calls asking President Obama not to sign the Bill.
Additionally, contact your Senators and Congressman/woman at their Washington DC telephone numbers. They were very receptive.

Hi Thom, This is for your engineering dept. I am an audio engineer and hear you struggling with your new studio. FYI, you are getting audio distortion on your feed from your microphone and the phone callers to your mp3 feed. Your ads and bumper music sound fine, so where ever you are adding live content to the mix, you have a major distortion problem. It sounds like everyone is speaking through a kazoo.
Good luck,
Paul Wickliffe

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
If we were following the American Constitution as it was originally intended, we would be following the Golden Rule. If we find that there are some weak areas in our constitution, we can look at the German Constitution and improve our constitution with the areas that are strong in the German Constitution.
