Max Keiser: Yelling "FIRE" in a crowded economy





In this episode, Max Keiser and co-host, Stacy Herbert discuss how shouting 'fire!' in a crowded economy may be the only thing left to save us from our unpayable debts and, failing that, Barack Obama's 'revolving door' could be another GDP booster. In the second half of the show Max talks to David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5000 Years, about weaponized debt and the origins of May Day.

fat cat bankers and their friends pay 0% to use our money. I wonder how much longer this debtors society can afford to prop up these fat cats?

And I must make this as clear as possible, David Graeber's cogent points about WEAPONIZED DEBT is one of the most profound and key element basic concepts to this era of creeping fascism in America and the World.

This is one of the most profound vids from Max and Stacy I have ever seen and if I were King of DU it would be required watching for all DU members.

It provides ROOT CAUSE ANSWERS as to how things are they way they are today and why we all lead lives of wage slaves, coated with heaping portions of economic servitude.

HYPERBOLICLY RECOMMENDED!
