1. pretty scary

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. " The US dollar is the leper currency with the most fingers"

Oh god...he has a way with a phrase.

[Gregorian]

3. Recommundo for MAX!

Great stuff Max. You would have made Lou Rukeyser very jealous. :)

[Mark D.]

4. PURE GENIUS

This is the most rational voice on what's really going on since the late William Cooper. This man should be president.

[Quantess]

5. It's a shame that none of our major US outlets feature this kind of thoughtful, blunt, analysis.

It's Al Jazeera. Props to Al Jazeera, but it's still a sad irony.
It just shows how dumbed down the US media really is.

[Beavker]

6. Interesting to get views from networks NOT in the U.S.

If they don't just outwardly hate Americans, they probably have a more unbiased view. It seems our MSM outlets either are inept or in bed with one side of or the other.

7. Truth is a bitch, but if anyone wants to know what is going on this country, there it is.

[sasquatch]

8. Mainlined reality and fact right from you tube

:wow:

[SanchoPanza]

9. This "World Currency" paranoia needs to end

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2538500920090325

Short Version: Geithner favors an expansion of the IMF's Special Drawing Rights currency basket, which currently includes a dollars, euros, sterling, and yen. The SDR is used primarily to serve as a baseboard to measure other currencies. The Chinese proposal called for the creation of a new reserve currency backed by this same basket. The relevant quote from Geithner: "But you should think of (expanding SDR) as rather evolutionary, building on the current architecture, than rather than moving us to global monetary union."

I have serious misgivings about the direction Geithner et al are taking in response to the myriad of problems the world is facing. But that doesn't mean making shit up about him is acceptable.

10. Experiencing Technical Difficulties?

I can barely hear the audio when it's turned up all the way. plugged the stereo in it and it's very fuzzy. needs a better clip

[JCMach1]

11. Yes, Max, the system is broken, but where do we go from here...?

Obviously the same path is disaster...


Do we go for socialism (hasn't worked so well in the past)?

Do we go for a balance between social welfare and market capitalism (think 1950's and '60s America)?

Or, do we go for something new?

[Mark D.]

12. Scandanavia

Not one but a group of nations, independent nations. Not majorly involed in any for-profit (as all have been since the French Revolution) war for a Military Industrial Complex. Not totally controlled by JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. With a free market, just better regulated than ours. Full gun ownership rights, but a far lower murder and crime rate because the have far lower poverty, almost no homelessness. Everyone gets a quality public education and has free health care. Women get up to a year paid maternity leave. This is the 'third way'. NOT Marxism or Anarchy on one extreme, not Neo-Con Feudalism or Facism on the other. Not perfect, but what nation is. Almost EVERY measurable number of how well a nation really does is better there than here. Amongst the lowest crime in the world. Higher IQs, graducation rates. Lower teen / unwed pregnancy and STD rates.

Nobody bankrupt for having no insurance or having it with a company that breaches its contract and won't pay, knowing the person can't afford a lawyer to sue them, and having a right wing jump up when they do and say 'too much litigation, tort reform now!'. Instead of a Union/Dixie style left/right divide, they've got an annoying minority of 'conservatives' (regressive corporate whores) that is properly marginalized, a large left of center majority, and a small, welcomed farther left group, that hasn't got a lot to complain about. That's the better SOCIETY to replace all others with globally, to start with.

Once there and we have an end to these stupid wars for profit, we can do the steps mentioned by the brilliant author and narrator of The Money Masters (Google Video is the place to watch it, it won't be broken up like on You Tube). He even looks like Geithner a little (but with glasses), if he were Treasury Secretary he'd pretty much fix America's problems, starting with the Federal Reserve being nationalized as Kucinich wants (who would have been the best possible president of those who ran, but that's why he'll never win). The above scenarios and Max on TV instead of FAUX SNOOZE and BILLOW RILEY would fix everything. Really.

13. My God, it's refreshing to hear a truth-teller...

...who cuts through the flim-flam and tells us what is really going on.

He really does have a way with words, doesn't he?
