Published on Jan 14, 2014
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the moral sink estate that is the City of London where dealers sell debt crack on street corners and many old ladies have their pensions stolen. They also discuss the corruption of the leveraged buyout whereby now whole nations are stolen using the nation's own assets and resources as collateral and now, with the TPP deal, the globe is about to be taken for cheap. In the second half, Max interviews investment adviser, Pippa Malmgren, a politics and policy expert who used to be Special Assistant to the President of the United States for Economic Policy on the National Economic Council and former member of the US President's Working Group on Financial Markets. They discuss 'shrinkflation,' inflation and the Plunge Protection team.

(4,856 posts)he lays it all out in such a funny and unique way. A lot of DU'ers slag off anything RT but the irony is that a Russian channel is actually diving much more into real issues that affect Americans than any US entertainment news source. Cause lets face it.US news is infotainment with a bias slant. Stalin would of loved what passes for news in the US today. Hence the reason the chemical spill in Charleston has barely been covered in the US yet RT covered it in full and asked where is the corporate US media on this issue.

(58 posts)Whereas U.S. Corporations just happen to own media outlets that never seem to cover any issue that could harm any corporation, RT shows tend to bring up issues that dont show these corporations in a pleasant light. I understand that RT has an agenda, just like Fox, the difference being RT, despite of or because of, brings up actual issues and scandals that affect the whole world and Fox just makes stuff up that they can blame on Obama. All the Corporate media in between, in between being center to center right, covers the political debate of the day and doesnt give any time to the issues that affect the population as a whole. Where is the talk about TPP, Global Climate Change or the real problems in the Global Economy?
Though given that, Keiser can be a bit high pitched and Screechy. I get what he says, sometimes I would rather just read the transcript.
