Excellent interview David taking your message to a wider audience.
As one of the few voices criticising the bail outs I think that you will find increasing interest in your message over the coming years.
Get ready for some more hostile interviewers trying to twist everything you have said against you…
And keep up the good work!
John,
Thank you. Glad you thought it went well.
If it generates wider interest that would be terrific.
Hi there,
Just saw yr RT piece, enjoyed it – great to see/hear more sense being talked …
Have you seen this organisation?
http://www.positivemoney.org.uk/
dayzero,
Yes I have. I think the positive money people have some good ideas. I agree that our understanding of money is SERIOUSLY out of date. So thank you for mentioning them and posting a link.
Money is not what most people think it is. However, I think, the problems with money go well beyond the usual fiat money analysis.
Nations do not issue or control most of the money on the planet. Government measures of money Z this and M that are fatuously out of touch with the world. Securitization is what makes money and moves it. The Banks print and control securities not nations.
I am a avid viewer of the Keiser Report, especially since the UK has now lost Jon Stewart. It was great to see you on the show. It is so sad that the public are so apathetic and unresponsive. I am involved in the local organisation against the cuts, there are many people on the streets who think the government is right in what it is doing, thankfully they are in the minority of those I speak too. You are right in that we must work together and not just be interested in defending our own priorities. This is a very big picture, changes will only come when that is understood. The Banks and those in league with them must be held to account. I am fortunate to be from the older generation, I have no personal debt. The public have been conned, status and self worth has falsely been thought to be from what we own, the big car, house, designer clothes. Credit cards and loans taken to make people feel better about themselves. A scam of the first order. To be young, to be facing a future of debt because I want to study and improve my life, it isn't right. I will buy your book. I will read it when I have finished Naomi Klein. I find her theories fit into the shock of what the ConDems are doing to us now.
Dear David, well done for pinpointing the Corporate Media as chief cover up goons in this deliberately engineered depression. Off with their heads!! All of them!
Am wholeheartedly agreed.
"Nations do not issue or control most of the money on the planet.. Securitization is what makes money and moves it. The Banks print and control securities not nations."
Therein lies much of the absurdity of the Government 'bail-outs' of the banks. Governments are GUARANTEEING a currency which they neither create nor control!
Yesterday in the European Parliament, irish socialist MEP Joe Higgins, calls it like it is.

Watch European Commission President Barroso sidestep all reference to european banks or international markets and respond furiously, laying all responsibility with irish people. Well he does mention the irish regulator too, that I accept.
(refer back to David's 'Sphincter-nomics' blog warning of the crisis being painted in nationalistic colours rather than 'the people vs the banks/markets')
p.s. sorry for posting this speech again, i think it's great 🙂
Golem,
Your interview was certainly true to form. The way in which you spelled out those plain and simple truths that are very seldom heard in the mainstream media, was excellent.
Naturally, I was particularly intrested in your reference to the Irish banking situation; this tied neatly into the point you were making about the danger to democracy. An article in one of our evening papers stated last week that:
"John Gormley [Green Party Minister, WB] has described revelations about the Taoiseach's [Irish Prime Minister, WB] golfing partnership with disgraced Anglo Irish Bank boss Sean FitzPatrick as "golfgate"."
http://www.herald.ie/national-news/greens-back-cowen-on-golfgate-as-his-own-party-deserts-him-2491434.html
Every day that goes by, we discover a new aspect of the comfortable relationship between the ruling Fianna Fáil party and Anglo-Irish bank. In its recent cover-story about the Financial Regulator's handling of liquidity breaches at UniCredit Ireland, Village magazine revealed that the bank's chairman at the time of my resignation from my role as the bank's risk manager, was an ex Fianna Fáil member of parliament.
http://www.villagemagazine.ie/index.php/2010/12/still-waiting-for-the-truth-from-the-regulator/
Foreign banks have benefited, and continue to benefit, from the chaos that is Irish banking. A look of Anglo's bond holders list that you published on this blog confirms that. However, EU President Barroso was not entirely wrong when he stated this week that Ireland's problems were created by some Irish financial institutions and by a lack of supervision in the Irish market.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0119/imf-business.html
As my own case shows, it was not only a lack of supervision by the Financial Regulator, it was a successful attempt to assist the bank in covering up its continuous failure to comply with regulation.
Well done Golem!

Hello Marylyn,
Glad to hear from someone invilved in the anti-cuts movement. I hope you'll share more of your thoughts with us.
Michael,
The extent to which the Financial journalists have been 'embedded' with and by their clients in the City is a story waitig to be told.
Ahimsa,
Joe Higgins does tell it like it is.
Whistleblower IRL,
Good to hear from you. Thank for keeping us updated on what is festering away in Irish politics. .
I'm a long-time believer that money and power are problematic and based on fairy stories.
Hello,
I found your Blog after seeing your excellent interview on the Keiser report. Its just amazing how the banks are able to get away with all the theft that continues.
I'm a 26-year-old recently unemployed graduate – by choice. It was costing me about 30% of my wages to travel to work, adding in other costs made it unrealistic to continue. So I have had to move back to my parent’s home and put my life somewhat on hold.
I'm sure you have probably talked about this before but unrestricted immigration has worsened youth unemployment and suppressed wages. Add to this higher rents and cost of living increases and the under 35's have seen major decreases in the standard of living already.
Low interest rates have saved home-owners for now-however the economy has not corrected, another crash must be just around the corner.
I've spent the last 6 months reading up on a variety of political and economic news. It seems obvious to me that the core of the 3 main political parties are very similar – they are all in league with big business and the banking cartel, and nothing will change whilst they continue.
Politicians never seem to have independent thought it’s all about think tanks, inquests and consultations. I suppose then there will always be someone else to blame. What can be done to wake people up to the current situation, especially when x-factor or football is always on? What groups/political parties can i join to make a difference?
I’ll get on and order your book- I’ve just watched The Mathematics of Chaos so maybe the end of the world will save us.
Sorry if I rambled!
Charlie
p.s. I have no debt
Very nice job on the Keiser Report, Mr. Malone.
I've been working on a little project over across the pond: a "jubilee" constitutional amendment.
I'd be interested to hear your opinion if you get a chance:
http://strikelawyer.wordpress.com
There's a series of posts about the amendment idea beginning here:
http://strikelawyer.wordpress.com/2011/01/15/amending-the-constitution-the-jubilee-amendment/
Personally, I think a jubilee or something like it is inevitable. It sounds like you might be thinking along similar lines. I haven't read your book but I just heard of you and I intend to as soon as I can.
Atticus,
I will read about your jubilee' idea with interest. Thank you for mentioning it.
Charlie you mention immigration. A vexed topic but one, that like you, I think needs to be faced honestly and face on. As for joining parties and movements it's something we should talk about.
I would say that from what you write you have already made the decisive break, already seen through the priesthood and their claims of inallability. Isn't that how you found your way here to this growing group of non-conformist thinkers?
@David Saw your interview on the Keiser Report David – it was really excellent. Keep up the great work – and I've ordered your book.
@Charlie3113 What groups/political parties can i join to make a difference? I often ask this – I dont know. Maybe none of them are the answer, as they've all failed us dismally.
Economics is mostly a voodoo science on the level of astrology and homeopathy.
Fortunately David you refuse to be hoodwinked by all the hifalutin nonsense from the "experts" and rely on experience, common sense, and a reliable BS detector.
Your talk on RT taught me not only facts but a new way of looking at the situation.
Shades,
welcome to our little corner of non-conformist dissent. I agree with you about economics. If you ever want to read an economist demolishing economics and all it vooddoo assumptions you could do a lot worse than Paul Ormerod's The Death of Economics".
Hope you will comment again.
Great to see you on Kaiser Report and enjoyed your comments and those of Max (who is nearly always, almost eerily, right on the money) a lot.
You mentioned Iceland as recovering well, do you have an up to date source for that we can use on Wikipedia?
The best comment in your piece was when you called it a war and Max reminded us that "propaganda" is one of the key needs. Our new "overclass" of corrupt bankers and their friendly tool politicians is waging the propaganda war daily via their puppets in the media. Amazing that Kaiser Report can exist at all on a TV channel. We won't be seeing it on Bloomberg any time soon.
Normally I do not learn post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very compelled me to
take a look at and do it! Your writing taste has been amazed me.
Thank you, very great article.
