Related: About this forumKeiser Report: Time to Fake US Manufacturing?
RT * Published on Jul 10, 2014
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the fact that when falling off a cliff, it is only the last few feet that hurt. They apply this to the collapsing US economy where they're going to fake manufacturing till they one day make it, but Max suggests that, just as you cannot taper a ponzi scheme, you cannot recalculate your way out of economic collapse. In the second half, Max interviews former CIA case officer and co-creator of the Marine Corps Intelligence Center, Robert David Steele, who has authored a new book, The Open Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth and Trust. They discuss anarchy, panarchy, true cost economics and Max asks whether crowd-sourced answers to national intelligence questions will be met with a military-style response similar to what happened to Kim Dotcom.

- IMO, this is a good 25 minutes and 46 second investment.

The 99% put them out of busniness...starve the beast to death with no pity.

- ''We can stop it at ANY TIME, by doing absolutely NOTHING.''
Because it doesn't work without us. We're the ones running everything for the 1%......

Mostly books, but other items also,
I ran across some of his reviews a few years back, and was surprised to see to him on Max's show.
Guy does have a brain.

(60,010 posts)2. That revision of the definition of manufacturing is jaw dropping.
Goes to show how far from sanity the continual process of faking economic numbers has come.

(27,137 posts)4. And I loved Max's analogy.....
...of this being equivalent to falling off a cliff and then attempting to avoid the inevitable ''kissing of the sidewalk'' by redefining what the term ''falling'' means on your way down. Or by extending the length of inches and feet in order to delay the Kiss O' Death.
- It's hilarious.....
