So you're at home and most likely bored with your destitute and sodden life. That's OK, because here's your daily fix of the one serum that keeps you 'up and going' (yeah right), like any good non-lethal drug should. No, I'm not refering to your stach of weed, hidden conveniently under the diner. The habit your wife obviously knows about. Thankfully you don't know about the affair. It's the Zero Hedge Daily Round Up. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViHpr10AFGg (I appologise for the bland link, the embed function is broken.) 

1. $14.5 Billion looted from food fund, 350 million risk starvation, India. 2. Consumer deleveraging, mostly debt default. 3. Student loan bubble grows at Hyperinflationary rate. 4. Valencia meet Catalonia. Demands EUR3.5 billion in rescue money. 5. Nick Clegg, One-off rich tax, UK. 6. Mad market Thursday. 7. Merkel, quote genius. 

Alternatively, you can download the show as a podcast on iTunes or any RSS capable device.

Stupid embed. It works in the preview, but then it shows up as a blank. I think this is Keynesian html at work.

"The very articles, even Max Keiser couldn't be bothered reading."

That's because Max Keiser is a Vatican statist tool. Stacey is a Marxist.

(Have a listen to their regular "Truth About Markets" podcast to get a taste of the other side of Max that you don't hear in his 'Keiser Report' broadcasts...though his recent hysterical tirades on his website against Libertarianism and Mises should be enough of a give-away that he is trying to shepherd disappointed Ron Paul supporters to vote* for Obomber now).

 

-----------------------------------------

* As far as I'm concerned, RP supporters should be withdrawing their vote altogether - rather than voting for either of the puppets being presented by TPTB.

"he is trying to shepherd disappointed Ron Paul supporters to vote* for Obomber now"

Not wanting to get into a bitch fight, reading your posts, i couldn't feign a match for your politicial or financial insight. Still, I'm compelled to know what it is about Max and Stacy that leads you to this conclusion

I understand that their analysis could lead you to think that they are inclined to various political factions, but ultimately, do you really believe they have any agenda other than to speak the truth as they see it?  I've heard it said that nobody is without an agenda, so being blatant about their convictions and financial positions, I guess people will always accuse them of talking their book. Other than that I really find it hard to discredit them in delivering impartial reporting. Take it or leave it.

Who else on prime-time networks makes as much sense?

Thanks for your questions. Please excuse the long reply!

I've only woken up to this Obomber play in recent weeks ... through seeing all the previous ardent pro-Ron Paul pundits suddenly going ballistic against both Misean Libertarianism and Obombney. This arose quite suddenly and didn't come from the avowed leftists, but rather included all the usual "independent" Luciferian-Jesuit suspects: Tarpley, Jones, Keiser, and a few ZH contributors. Another interesting fact is that the Vatican-aligned "religious right" outlets - like the Washington Times and Forbes - were also very lukewarm on Obombney. As someone stated here recently: "Everybody hates Romney"... but why the Republican religious right? (That's a rhetorical question: Both teams have the same coach ;)

The way many of us have always read the Ron Paul campaign is as a "split the Republican ticket" gambit ... just like Teddy Roosevelt and the "Bull Moose Party" split that got Woodrow Wilson elected exactly 100 years ago to usher in the Federal Reserve. Same coach then, too! (I posted on here almost exactly a year ago that Ron Paul was not trying but just going through the motions ... see here: 1633482). Note: I'm a voluntarist and anti-statist, so I have more sympathy with RP's message than any others ... but would, of course, prefer no government at all rather than attempting to "convert the Mafia to the United Way"!

So, with RP out of the way, why are all the so-called independents hysterically anti-Romney and discrediting Mises and Libertarianism, while the religious right of the Republicrats are also only lukewarm on Romney-Ryan? Answer: Because the "coach" is shit-scared that Obomber was falling too far in the polls and both groups have been directed to work for an Obama re-election (strange as that may seem!).

As for Max and Stacey: I was a keen Max fan when I first started looking down the rabbit hole. But the deeper I went down, the more the connections between the various alternative media pundits began to take shape. Alex Jones is the lynchpin and nearly all his regular guests have connections to the Khazarian-Kleptokrat-Klique (Jesuits, Sabbateans and crypto-Jews) - either through membership of the CNP or through education at Jesuit-controlled institutions. Max went to NYU.

I was also puzzled why Max was a rigid statist (track down his interviews with Stefan Molyneux to see this); why he was not a 9-11 truther; why he supported the AGW tax; why he vocally trumpeted the Arab Spring as a people-power uprising; and, most importantly, why he showed a completely different face in his 'Truth About Markets' podcasts?! I have also been very suspicious of the "Buy Silver, Crash JPMorgan" campaign since almost the beginning ... not because of the logic of it (though the target silver price of JPM's share price made no sense to me!), but because of the Luciferian connections shared by all those who were/are pushing it. Now I see it as a diversion from gold, and therefore only buy gold.

"Who else makes as much sense?"

All of my above-named Luciferian-connected outlets make a lot of sense. As limited hangouts, they deliberately disseminate 90% truth and only 10% misdirection. Those with the Luciferian connections also follow the same agenda. Often it is what they don't say (and who they will not touch!) that gives them away! For example, about 9 months ago, some idiot cardinal in the Vatican issued a press release calling for a World Bank. This was big NWO news and surprised me that they would come out in the open with such a gaffe. So I went looking to see who covered it ... Nobody in the MSM nor any of the alternative media: not Drudge, not Alex Jones, not ZH, only Max ... then Max took it down some hours later!! Bingo. Gotcha!!

So I learn a lot from all of them, then use my own analytical skills to piece together what's apparently true and what's apparently false information ... often by comparing what one leaves out against what another includes. I'd suggest you do the same with all of the articles posted on ZH ;-)

So you don't see any positives in Max Keiser?

The average Indian's understanding of what corruption means to him is zilch.

Attitude is get along with one's life, adjust, carry on and let someone else do the shouting.

Little do they realise what is in store for them.

And when it finally breaks there will definitely be chaos and revolution.

India is not made up of Indians. It is made up of Malayalees, Tamilians, Telugus, Maharashtrians, Orisyans, Bengalis, Biharis, Assamese  etc.It is controlled by politicians who whip up sentiments based on caste, creed etc.

And when the bell tolls the above will define itself.

Don't you think it's a little arrogant to suggest that humans are so ignorant that they don't know what's going on? 

Everyone in China knows that it's all corrupt (I was there reccently), but as you say, they just move on and adjust. 

As for the collapse, it's going to be bad for everything. I think India's population size is going to be a bigger concern, than how their society is structured by politicians. 

Food makes the world go round. Not money, in a collapse.

The Chinese know it's corrupt, but a surprising number think (or thought, pre Bo Xilai?) the corruption is mainly a problem at local level; the central government is squeaky clean & represented the interests of the man in the street.

I think this may be a continuation of myths from imperial times (eg Yue Fei). And it may be one of the reasons people are able to 'move on and adjust', because let's face it, if you think you're being consistently ripped off and betrayed one every level, it gets harder to have that mindset.

EDIT - Similar point to yours directly below :p

BTW - f**k itunes & RSS. Are links to MP3s so hard? :)

f**k you. Is using iTunes or RSS so hard? :) 

Hell, you've even got YouTube. Oh dear, you're not one of those guys who avoids YouTube and iTunes because you think the government is out to get you and steal your house?

When people live in self denial and do not wish to deal with reality they will have no one else to blame.

I was not talking about their intelligence but attitude.

And you are abosultely right as food is concerned. maybe when soaring prices are prevalent they may start thinking.

How do you know people are living in self denial? And even so, how can people deal with reality, let alone discover it, when they have absoultely nothing going for them?

The average person is too busy working and surviving to care about reality, let alone take action.

I think empathy is important. After all, we're all only human. 

Equally flawed, yet manipulated to different degrees.
