America, a Walking Dead Zombie Economy
Source: chaostheorien.de

The high-profile financial pundit Max Keiser doesn’t shy away from crystal-clear, unmistakable statements. The following exclusive interview is no exception. Mr. Keiser sees an attack exercised against the majority of people in the U.S., sets out why gold is in no bubble at all, points at a remarkable move by Harvard University, and has an advice to some US-American billionaires disguised as noble philanthropists: “Just pay your taxes and shut up!”

1. I just have to wonder...
Considering how heavily armed the US population is, would wiping out the middle class be a good idea? I suppose there's something to be said for getting the Teabaggers to shoot the rest of the population, but it's still a dangerous thing because it puts society in the hands of a mob.

3. As long as the beer's cold and the TV's on, Americans won't rise up. (NT)

2. K&R.
"Paul Krugman is a salon monkey. You can quote me on that.

Okay, no problem (laughs).

He is a tool of the New York Times. If it wasn’t for the New York Times, no one would read Paul Krugman. He has absolutely nothing credible to say. He is merely a mouthpiece for neo-liberal clap-trap. Any minute you spend reading Paul Krugman is a minute of your life that you’ll never get back."

4. Excellent point here:
Would you say that the Peak-Oil story deserves much more coverage and attention by the media, policy makers and so on?

The entire economy of the world runs on oil. This is a story that is ignored, because the implications are really catastrophic if the price of oil starts to run away. It would mean that all trade stops. So global trade would end as we know it and the current owners of the global media would be in the service of an entirely new set of power players at the top with America nowhere in site.

6. Max has a regular show on Press TV. He's a little extreme, but
ignore him at your own risk, and hope he's only 75% correct.

7. No comments on what Keiser had to say about Obama and Krugman?
A very hard interview to process, at least for me.
