Stacy Summary: Every leader in the world seems to be scrambling to declare their country the next Greece; today it is Japan. It could be a clever ruse to exhaust the wolfpack of speculators.

But here it is, Israeli documents acknowledge Gaza blockade is economic war. Tags: economic warfare · gaza74 Comments Stacy Summary: We look at “sucking gold and slurping silver” with Goldman Sachs in China and at banks refusing to buy back their toxic loans from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In the second half of the show, Max interviews Vincent Fernando of Business Insider about debt deflation, wage inflation and austerity measures. Tags: china · fannie mae · freddie mac · goldman sachs · keiser report · max keiser · stacy herbert211 Comments Max says: Who will declare bankruptcy first; Eco(logic) Terrorist British Petroleum or Eco(nomic) Terrorist Goldman Sachs? “Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s $2 billion Hudson Mezzanine collateralized debt obligation, sold in 2006, is the target of a probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.” “In a separate case, Goldman Sachs was sued by Australian hedge fund Basis Capital for $1 billion. In the suit, filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court, Basis claims it was forced into insolvency after buying mortgage-linked securities that the firm created and one of its executives termed “one shi**y deal.” Tags:29 Comments Max says: Stacy’s research into how Twitter’s ‘Trending Topics’ index was manipulated has been confirmed. By manipulating ‘green revolution’ and other # tags to float up the index, Twitter was able to manufacture a #revolution that for the most part, was grossly exaggerated. Whether or not Twitter simply did this purely for marketing purposes or was hacked by the Pentagon to help sell more weapons has yet to be disclosed.

Here is a thread for debating and/or discussing your thoughts on UK austerity measures. Genesis Communications Network (GCN), home of the “Alex Jones Show” begins syndicating a new Max & Stacy “Truth About Markets: USA” show on June 26th. This new show will build on “TAM: London” and “TAM: New Zealand” bringing radio listeners the views and opinions of Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert. For 7 years, Max & Stacy have been recommending listeners to buy gold and to view the global markets as a corrupt racket run by bank and government insiders. Tags:56 Comments Blanche Lincoln, Wall St.’s thorn in their side, won re-election. She has been lobbying, along with the MPAA, to kill box office futures exchanges. Her defeat would have been a win for these new weapons of mass financial destruction threatening to do an ‘Enron’ on Hollywood. Tags:17 Comments Stacy Summary: In this episode, we look at the scandals of financial wiseguys that ‘know nothing,’ including famed ‘value investor,’ Warren Buffett who says he knows nothing about his investments and nothing about how ratings contributed to the housing bubble. In the second half of the show, Max interviews economist Michael Hudson about the Latvian economy and real liberal economics. Tags: latvia · michael hudson · moody's · rating agencies · warren buffett179 Comments Stacy Summary: In the words of @Mike/Liverpool . . . gold is getting killed!!! In the meantime, the dollar is also relatively strong. **UPDATE**: And UK pound sterling diving. Tags: dollar · gold85 Comments Stacy Summary: This is genius!!! “No doubt I committed errors,” he wrote. “I overrode the usual methods, loaded false data to disguise gains, as well as losses. In a word, I pushed the system to its limit… But [what] was happening around me? [A] giant fraud perpetrated by all the trading floors in the world. To get good results, any tricks were permitted. The golden rule of the banking culture was simple: if you win, you are in the right; if you lose you are wrong and you’re out.” Stacy Summary: Twenty six years later, seven prison sentences have been handed down in the Bhopal case. Wonder if it will take 25 years and 10 months for residents of Louisiana to start to receive ‘justice,’ if that’s what you can call this. Tags: bhopal · prison92 Comments Stacy Summary: Deutsche Bank being investigated for role in alleged credit derivatives manipulation. I don’t think the SFO has ever been able to successfully investigate a single major bank or hedge fund. Let’s see if they can find anything that might jeopardise the City’s role in global derivatives fraud. Tags: cds · deutsche · kaupthing Picking up speed on financing We are sending our longtime director David Gumpel (fromKing Keiser to Money Geyser) to Athens to get some B-roll and to interview one of the local economists before Stacy and I fly down to speak with the people. Tags:42 Comments Stacy Summary: The spin today is that the long term average for Euro is 1.18, so today’s EUR/USD chart is a-okay. Tags: deutsche mark · euro51 Comments Stacy Summary: Bizarre story. Ras al-Khaimah overlooks the Straits of Hormuz and is major oil producer. Abu Dhabi, of course, has the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The Emirate is crawling with American lobbyists, ‘lobbyists’ and other ‘private equity’ sort of guys, while the Brits had to settle for control of Dubai. Interesting cast of characters here with the same old story (if slightly more bizarre and exaggerated in their claims) they always sell the media on these sort of coups (connected to terrorism if they are Muslim; Marxist dictators if they are Latin American) . . . Main players in this coup Tags: abu dhabi · coup35 Comments Stacy Summary: Wow, I’m beginning to see a trend. Sounds like the aggressively anti-gay evangelicals who are all, in fact, gay and mostly hailing from the same states below. And, looking from the outside, I bet if I asked most Brits or Europeans in which US states, based only on what you see as presented by popular outrage, are you most likely to see the most number of government employees, you’d probably guess Massachusetts or California or Vermont or Connecticut or some other ‘commie, socialist’ state like that . . . Tags: alaska · big government · wyoming133 Comments Stacy Summary: Great summary by Reggie Middleton on the truth about mark to market. Regulators (sic) are just so much more powerful than bankers, aren’t they? Stacy Summary: I wonder if he advised Goldman Sachs to dump their shares, too. Tony Hayward dumped 30% of his BP holdings weeks before blow out. Tags: bp · deepwater horizon · tony hayward33 Comments Stacy Summary: Please note that the ‘euro will be dead’ prediction comes from ‘leading economists’ and we all know how well their predictions on the forever bubble went; regardless, the second NYTimes article goes a bit further in explaining what is happening with our financial systems. There is too much debt. It is mathematically impossible to pay these debts and, so, like all Minsky moments, nobody wants to be left holding the bad debt parcel. The liquidity crisis is caused by the solvency crisis. **UPDATE**: Tags: $2.6 trillion · debts · euro · greece · hungary ·spain97 Comments Stacy Summary: Here it is!

Tags: max keiser · On the Edge · outsourcing · paul craig roberts138 Comments Stacy Summary: More info about the flotilla massacre. Robert Fisk on the truth about Israeli propaganda. The Economist on what Israel bans from entering the Gaza Ghetto. Congressman Sherman wants to charge American flotilla members under The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, says Gazans better fed than those in many US cities. Neo-cons threaten Obama with Israeli strikes on Iran if he condemns Israeli ’shot in the back of the head’ self-defence moves. Tags: flotilla129 Comments Stacy Summary: Some opinion pieces that might make this Friday night even hotter than it already is (here in Paris anyway) . . . Tags: glenn greenwald · paul craig roberts · tribalism107 Comments Stacy Summary: ** UPDATE ** – The ECB has only 77 billion euros in reserve and . . . Rumors of more derivatives losses at Societe Generale drag shares down up to 6%. The continuing and controlled demolition of every last penny of savings, whether in your pension account or your savings account, continues. These ‘losses’ will not stop until, as was discussed in the latest Keiser Report interview with Edward Harrison, the people say they have had enough of paying 100 cents on the dollar on these fraudulent derivatives. Stacy Summary: Too bad the US government is the same Big Business that caused the disaster and that, even with their high tech equipment (golf balls, tires and saws) is unable to fix the problem they created. In coastal Mississippi, Republican state Rep. Steven Palazzo has been critical of the federal government, including what he sees as an intrusive role in a health care overhaul that he – like many conservatives – calls “Obamacare.” As he runs for Congress in a district that relies on shipbuilding, tourism and the seafood industry, Palazzo says Washington should do all it can to protect the Gulf of Mexico. He said his stance does not contradict his advocacy of limited government. “This is not only an economic nightmare but it’s an ecological one as well,” Palazzo said. “We cannot spare any resource.” Tags: bp · gulf coast166 Comments Stacy Summary: We look at the scandals of “hashtag” propaganda; the revolution of free towels from the Best Party; and trillion dollar wars and security tabs beyond rational explanation. In the second half of the show, Max interviews Edward Harrison of CreditWritedowns.comabout China-US as the most worrisome global hotspot, social outrage and rising up in Europe and around the world, and whether or not there is a gold bubble. Tags: 48 · best party · china bubble · edward harrison ·keiser report · max keiser · propaganda · social outrage ·stacy herbert123 Comments Stacy Summary: Well, you have savers vs speculators and you have speculators vs speculators. This is a bit of both. Looks like investors/lenders are trying to secure the collateral that allegedly backs the $600 trillion in debts they ‘own,’ while debtors are trying to escape the debts they ‘owe.’ Stacy Summary: Via Zerohedge, silver down as the US mint runs out of silver. Alas, and lol, I guess you can only buy paper silver at these knock down prices . . . .**UPDATE** – From DailyReckoning – US Mint Sold 190,000 one ounce gold American Eagles for May, most in any month since January 1999 Tags: eagles · silver211 Comments Stacy Summary: Took awhile to find this online, but here is a recent interview Max gave with Micha Kat for Dutch radio. It’s all a bunch of Dutch until about 20 minutes in when they begin speaking English with Max. And here is an articlethe host wrote following the appearance (in Dutch). Tags: dutch radio · max keiser · micha kat62 Comments Stacy Summary: Alas, not the JP Morgan “consultant,” Tony Blair . . . but Tony Hayward, he of BP infamy.
