Stacy Summary: Today’s guest is Mike Ruppert. We talk about his film, Collapse, out on DVD today Tags: collapse · keiser report · mike ruppert233 Comments Stacy Summary: Exxon distances itself from BP’s ‘dramatic departure’ from industry norms. A split in the big oil ranks? It’s unlike anything I’ve seen in the banking sector where they are all, so far, sticking together to the same story. What do you think of this story? And anyone have good links to information on BP’s role in the Exxon Valdez? **UPDATE** – Fitch downgrades BP to two grades above ‘junk’ Tags: big oil · bp · exxon · exxon valdez · offshore drilling61 Comments Never underestimate American industry’s tendency to commit suicide. Recently, we’ve seen it in the car business, the banking business and the housing business. Now we’re going to see it in Hollywood. As someone who studies the foibles and psychology of bankers and businessmen in America (as they kill the American economy and ecology in the name of entrepreneurialism) I anticipate watching and reporting as media-derivatives increase to 10 to 20 times the size of the underlying business they are supposedly ‘hedging’ and then explode in a fiery death spiral of fat profits for insiders alongside losses and recriminations for the Ponzi scheme suckers who will lose big time. Prediction: The next Heath Ledger type incident will be tied to a hedge fund manager rumored to have cashed in on Trend Exchange.

Tags: bis · currency collapse82 Comments (h/t GourmetTeamster) While the CFTC and MPAA battle Hollywood terrorist wannabe Cantor Fitzgerald who is attempting to destroy Hollywood with weapons of mass financial destruction; using a bastardized version of intellectual property they came across in a highly dubious manner, Wall St. private equity terrorist Carl Icahn is trying to wedge control of Lionsgate Films away from honchos Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns. Apparently he can’t wait to get into the dying copyright business; timing his raid to coincide perfectly with the final rites being administered to the copyright dependent music industry. My money is on Felt and Burns. With an endless supply of cheap money from Burns’ pal J.P.Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon they will continue to rule the Hollywood Robber Baron roost in ways that Harvey Weinstein can only dream about.

WSJ: BP Spill Will Add to GDP, Too Bad We Can’t Just Line Up People and Shoot Them (Yet).
June 17th, 2010 by
Respond
You gotta love the Wall St. Journal. Murdoch is one of those guys who would have volunteered at the concentration camps, which; according to the WSJ, would have boosted GDP for the people stuck in those camps. Goldman of course would have created Collateralized Ash Obligations (CAO’s).

Hollywood Derivatives Holocaust Heats Up as Blanche Lincoln’s Chances Cool.
June 17th, 2010 by
Respond
The only thing stopping Trend Exchange and Cantor Exchange (and Box Office futures contracts); Wall St.’s latest weapon of financial destruction from going live is Blanche Lincoln and her (and the MPAA’s) attempt to outlaw these contracts. If she goes down, Hollywood becomes “Snakes On A Plane” sequels for as long as shady hedge fund managers can borrow against future box office results until they can’t and BAM! bailout number 100 by Obama for the Wall St. enabled bankruptcy of Hollywood.

Climate Change: Why I don’t Own Any Real Estate
June 17th, 2010 by
Respond
I am often asked why I don’t own any real estate. In a world ravaged by climate change it is going to be increasingly difficult to keep one step ahead of environmental catastrophe and the increasing problem of ‘climate change immigrants’ numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The impact on real estate and other parts of the economy will necessitate nimble planning when it comes to housing.

Peak Oil: Obama Admits World ‘Consumes More Oil Than It Produces.’
June 17th, 2010 by

My takeaway from Obama’s BP speech was that he freely admits that the reason oil companies need to go drilling for oil in hard to get to places is because the world is running out of the toxic stuff. This is the first Presidential acknowledgement of what we covered in our film; “Peaked”

On balance, deflation is wreaking havoc in the global economy. The ‘Inflationists’ have been wrong since 2007. The ‘hyper-inflationists’ might some day be relevant. But for today, debt spiraling into a vortex of sovereign and societal default and unrest defines the global economy.

In the ongoing war of Savers v. Speculators, BP has cut their dividend. No executive firings. No investigation into fraudulent bank lending practices that financed an environmental holocaust in the Gulf. No interruption of credit lines that feed eco-terrorism at BP.

Bill Gross of Pimco Trades On Environmental Holocaust in Gulf. “Death is a Buy.”
June 17th, 2010 by
Respond
Gross loves to get on TV and manipulate prices for his fund. He front runs his own media appearances in the name of ‘adding liquidity’ and ‘market making.’ If Bernie Madoff told the world about his crooked transactions on CNBC before he made them he’d be Bill Gross. Interestingly, media-front running has not popped up on regulators screens in D.C. yet. Presumably they are all trading on Bill’s “insights” themselves so they don’t want to kill the oil drenched goose, er, pelican.

WARNING: European fund managers, having lost your shirts in US subprime, are seeking to destroy the remainder of your savings in the Australian property market!!
June 16th, 2010 by
Respond
Stacy Summary: A huge portion of toxic US subprime mortgages blew up in the savings and pension funds of Europe, be warned that if you have anything left, it appears that European fund managers are apparently diving, or trying to dive, into the Australian property market . . . because prices rose 20% in the past year. Read Steve Keen’s extensive work on the state of the property bubble in Australia. In a casino-gulag economy, your savings are constantly in danger from toxic financial weapons and exploding ponzi schemes.

Americans and other people around the world are looking for ways to escape their oppressive governments. Iceland starts selling citizenships to go along with their new Modern Media Initiative program protecting free speech.
