Selective Amnesia for Brokers & Murderers

Max Keiser and co-host, Stacy Herbert, discuss Irish stoicism and social ostracism, boycotts and ponzis and the banking practices of Chuckie. In the second half of the show Max talks to independent journalist, Lars Schall, about his recently published investigation into insider trading around the 9-11 terrorist attack as well as his pursuit of Germany's elusive gold reserves.

Sullivan, I think the bankers are worried about the Irish tax revolt.

It is one thing to privatize all, and to increase unemployment – but it is another thing to raise property taxes on millions of people who simply have no money, especially when tax monies go straight to absentee landlords (foreign bankers). Plus Ireland has carbon taxes, a 50-euro septic tank tax, and so on. All of it goes to the bankers, who throw back just enough scraps to keep Ireland from exploding.

Last month the EU government is imposed a new treaty on 25 member states. (England and the Czech Republic refused to go along.) All 25 nations must make paying the bankers their number one priority -- forever. All governments must pay the bankers before governments think about social services, national defense, or anything else. Brussels and Frankfurt will directly control the finances of every nation. Separate finance ministries are now mere branch offices that dole out whatever remains after the bankers take their cut off the top. 

Twenty-five European governments have already submitted to this – but in the case of Ireland the bankers will supposedly let the masses have a referendum at some future date.

A referendum will mean nothing, since it will be rigged, and even if the bankers are defeated by some miracle, the Irish government will simply ignore it, as Iceland’s government did. When the Irish masses rejected the Nice referendum in 2001, the Irish government simply held another referendum (October 2002). When the Irish masses rejected the Lisbon referendum in 2008, the Irish government passed it anyway in 2009.

The Irish constitution requires a referendum, but now that bankers rule the planet, all national constitutions are null. Mr Kenny has already said he will sign the new treaty. Besides, an Irish "no" will not stop Mr Kenny, as it only needs the backing of twelve euro area countries to come into effect.

Still, the fact that the Irish masses were offered this sham shows that the bankers are worried about the Irish tax revolt.  (The French masses wanted a new referendum on the new treaty, but Sarkozy told them, “Fuck you! Now, re-elect me!”)

The Irish Greens support the bankers. Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has been bought off. Same with Fianna Fáil. Sinn Fein wants more bribes before they support the bankers against the Irish masses, as do Non Governmental Organizations and civic society groups.

British PM David Cameron is keeping quiet, since the City of London refused to submit to the new treaty. 

In past years, some Irish billionaires (e.g. Declan Ganley) opposed submitting to the bankers, but now they favor it, since they have learned that bankers reward them by increasing their fortunes. 

Enda Kenny has warned the Irish masses that if they do not submit to ever-increasing slavery, then they will have ever-increasing slavery. (“We’ll be cut off from the bankers’ rescue fund! We will no longer be loaded with crippling debt! We won’t have an excuse to keep raising taxes on you! No more austerity! We can’t risk that!”)

Yet Mr. Kenny also says Ireland’s economy is doing great, and doesn’t need more bailouts (of investors). Therefore the Irish masses will continue to escape poverty by continuing to submit to ever-increasing poverty.

Normally these lies work, HOWEVER the Irish masses don’t want to pay more taxes to the bankers.

This is serious. You can lie to the Irish masses all you want. (“If you don’t submit to more poverty under the bankers, then you will no longer be part of the EU! The bankers will kick you out of your dungeon! You will lose the euro currency and go back to having monetary sovereignty! The horror!”)

Again, this usually works, but the lies and delusions mean nothing if the Irish masses won’t pay. Economic articles try to hide the banker theft under bullshit about GDPs, debt ratios, etc -- but again, this is meaningless if the Irish masses won’t pay.

The absentee landlords (foreign bankers) want property taxes from 1.6 million Irish families. 14% of victims have paid. The other 1.4 million must pay by March 31, or they will lose their properties and be thrown into the street. In addition, the masses must pay a separate $4 billion to the bankers by 31 March.

And this is only the beginning. The bankers are starting with a 100-euro tax. Next year it will be 200 euros, then 400, and so on. All for the absentee landlord bankers – and the Irish masses know it.

Taxes will deepen Ireland’s depression. Hence the bankers will continue to demand more and more taxes. Forever.

The added outrage is that the Irish government’s excuse centers on the Anglo-Irish bank.

WUFYS readers, please understand. The Anglo-Irish bank was not like a regular bank with ATM machines and branch officers. It wasn’t even an investment bank. It was a private casino where investors gambled on securities that offered zero benefit to Irish society. When the casino collapsed, the investors bribed Irish politicians to squeeze the masses for payment.

March 31 is only seven days away. It will be interesting to see what happens between now and then. The bankers may order their puppet politicians to start arresting people, making examples of them. If the Irish masses champion the victims, then they will have a chance. But if they instead condemn the victims (like Britons and Americans do), and they pay the tax, then they’re fucked. Ireland will continue to devolve into a crime-ridden dystopia.

Ireland could fix all this if it had a public central bank. This would cause England and Europe to declare war on Ireland, but the Irish masses already face being thrown into the street.

The tax revolt is a quiet revolution, a form of non-violent non-cooperation.

MY GUESS is that the bankers will back off slightly, and “restructure” their demands, thereby dropping this year’s property tax to 50 euros.  Mr. Kenny will declare a victory for the Irish masses -- however the steady creep of slavery will continue. Property taxes, carbon taxes, septic tank taxes, etc will continue to rise.

[2] Elsewhere in the video, Max and Stephanie note that Sgt. Robert Bales from Afghanistan allegedly bilked an elderly couple. Max and Stephanie ask how this makes Bales different from Wall Street fraudsters.

Yes, and I ask why Bales was allowed to abscond with $600,000 of the victims’ money (and avoid paying $1,274,000 in compensatory and punitive damages) by escaping to Afghanistan.

Also, note how the US government is trying to focus global wrath on one individual (Bales), who probably did not act alone in the massacre.

Bales may have to be suicided. Also, his alleged victim is one Gary Liebschner of Carroll, Ohio, who sounds kosher to me.

Max and Stephanie are also correct to note that Wall Street crime is far from “victimless.” It causes millions to be killed.

[3] In the second half of the show Max talks to independent journalist Lars Schall about his recently published investigation into insider trading in connection with 9-11.

Just before 9-11, insiders used the Chicago Board Option Exchange to place “put” options on firms that would be affected, such as United Airlines, American Airlines, some banks in the WTC buildings (e.g. Merrill Lynch), and so on. They bet that 9-11 would make their stocks go down, and they did go down by 43 percent. There was a six-fold increase in “put” options just before 9-11.

Simultaneously the Wall Street insiders bet that other stocks (e.g. in weapons makes like Raytheon) would go up. That is, they put “call” options.

Thus the insiders collected massive profits from advance knowledge of 9-11.

One of the insiders was Alex Brown, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank (where many of the alleged 9/11 hijackers handled their banking transactions - for example Mohammed Atta).

One day after the 9-11 attacks, the chairman of the board of Alex Brown, Mayo A Shattuck III, suddenly and quietly renounced his post, although he still had a three-year contract with an annual salary of several million US dollars.

Mayo A Shattuck III took over as head of Alex Brown when A B 'Buzzy' Krongard left the company to join the CIA just before 9-11. CIA director George Tenet personally hired Mr. Krongard. When the CIA was asked about this, spokesman Tom Crispell had no comment.

The SEC covered it all up, and no one dares talk, knowing they will be suicided.

Also, Max correctly notes that US Congress people are legally allowed to trade on insider information. They are above the law. They too profited from 9-11.

So we can make reliable predictions about false flags by watching the markets.

[4] On a separate matter, Lars Schall says 66 percent of German gold is in New York, and 21 percent is in London.

Yes, the actual whereabouts of gold reserves is one of the closest held secrets among banks. Nothing is ever put in writing. We still do not know everything about gold shipments during WW II.

Max thinks Germany has probably lost that gold, since the New York Fed and City of London use it as collateral for their bailouts of European banks.

It is one thing to privatize all, and to increase unemployment – but it is another thing to raise property taxes on millions of people who simply have no money, especially when tax monies go straight to absentee landlords (foreign bankers). Plus Ireland has carbon taxes, a 50-euro septic tank tax, and so on. All of it goes to the bankers, who throw back just enough scraps to keep Ireland from exploding.

Yes, and we are being sold the lie that the so-called household charge goes to pay for local services, which are either covered by other taxes (such as the motor tax) or operated on a pay-for-use basis. Another lie is that we are alone in not having a property tax. A similar tax in Italy, called ICI, applied to all properties with the exception of those owned by the Catholic Church. This tax was removed on principal dwellings as it was universally unpopular.  The leader of Continuity Fianna Fáil (otherwise known as Fine Gael) is desperate to be seen as the best boy in the EU classroom, and has meekly gone along with everything his EU/ECB/IMF masters asked him to do.

A referendum will mean nothing, since it will be rigged, and even if the bankers are defeated by some miracle, the Irish government will simply ignore it, as Iceland’s government did. When the Irish masses rejected the Nice referendum in 2001, the Irish government simply held another referendum (October 2002). When the Irish masses rejected the Lisbon referendum in 2008, the Irish government passed it anyway in 2009.

Apparently there will be no second referendum. Or at least so said the leader of the Labour rump in the government coalition. Then again, never believe anything is true until it is officially denied!

The Irish constitution requires a referendum, but now that bankers rule the planet, all national constitutions are null. Mr Kenny has already said he will sign the new treaty. Besides, an Irish "no" will not stop Mr Kenny, as it only needs the backing of twelve euro area countries to come into effect.

If it is rejected here, it has no legal effect here.  It will, of course, have effect in the countries that ratified it.

The Irish Greens support the bankers. Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has been bought off. Same with Fianna Fáil. Sinn Fein wants more bribes before they support the bankers against the Irish masses, as do Non Governmental Organizations and civic society groups.

Civic society groups (I hate that term, but we'll use it anyway) are infiltrated by the Common Purpose fifth column and will happily sing any tune they are told to.  The Green Party have to be some of the most treacherous and totalitarian-minded people ever to have graced this island.  Thankfully they are political history now, as the Labour Party will be after actively participating in the treasonous activities of the governing coalition.

In past years, some Irish billionaires (e.g. Declan Ganley) opposed submitting to the bankers, but now they favor it, since they have learned that bankers reward them by increasing their fortunes.

Ganley has substantial connections with the US war machine. I for one doubted that anything good would come of his involvement in Irish politics.

Yet Mr. Kenny also says Ireland’s economy is doing great, and doesn’t need more bailouts (of investors). Therefore the Irish masses will continue to escape poverty by continuing to submit to ever-increasing poverty.

I agree, the official line of Mr Kenny's government is oxymoronic in the extreme.

The absentee landlords (foreign bankers) want property taxes from 1.6 million Irish families. 14% of victims have paid. The other 1.4 million must pay by March 31, or they will lose their properties and be thrown into the street. In addition, the masses must pay a separate $4 billion to the bankers by 31 March.

Actually, nobody will be thrown in the street or even into jail. The ruling junta here have decided that they will follow the lead of Greece's profoundly undemocratic unelected tyrants and take the money as a lien on wages or bank accounts.

And this is only the beginning. The bankers are starting with a 100-euro tax. Next year it will be 200 euros, then 400, and so on. All for the absentee landlord bankers – and the Irish masses know it.

Of course it is.  I fully expect it to be in excess of 1500 euro within a few years. If it is allowed to go ahead. Even if it does not rise, I am fundamentally opposed to having to pay protection money to a state mafia to be allowed to live in my own home.

Taxes will deepen Ireland’s depression. Hence the bankers will continue to demand more and more taxes. Forever.

Increases in taxes never, ever bring about recovery. Not just in Ireland, but anywhere. This is particularly the case where the increased tax burden falls on those who are already merely subsisting.

WUFYS readers, please understand. The Anglo-Irish bank was not like a regular bank with ATM machines and branch officers. It wasn’t even an investment bank. It was a private casino where investors gambled on securities that offered zero benefit to Irish society. When the casino collapsed, the investors bribed Irish politicians to squeeze the masses for payment.

Yes, it wasn't a regular high-street or retail bank. It was a commercial bank whose business seems to have been loaning to developers, to an ill-fated insurance group and to its own directors. Its failure was described as "systemic", when it was patently not.  Anglo Irish could have been allowed to go down the tubes and the only ones to suffer would have been foreign investors who took a risk and should take the loss associated with that risk. Of course, those investors included Goldman Sachs and Rothschild Gestion, who could hardly be expected to take a loss when the goy could be forced to pay for it.

Ireland could fix all this if it had a public central bank. This would cause England and Europe to declare war on Ireland, but the Irish masses already face being thrown into the street.

Of course it could. Which is why I use every opportunity to inform people of the fraudulent nature of our money system and the privately-run monopolies that issue the money and collect signorage on it.

MY GUESS is that the bankers will back off slightly, and “restructure” their demands, thereby dropping this year’s property tax to 50 euros. Mr. Kenny will declare a victory for the Irish masses -- however the steady creep of slavery will continue. Property taxes, carbon taxes, septic tank taxes, etc will continue to rise.

I don't see a 50 euro tax being any more welcome than the 100 euro tax.  I believe that this government has to be the most hated in our history, even more hated than the last treacherous government. Anything they claim is a victory is likely to be met with suspicion.

[1] HEYDRICH: All of it goes to the bankers, who throw back just enough scraps to keep Ireland from exploding.

SULLIVAN: Yes, and we are being sold the lie that the so-called household charge goes to pay for local services, which are either covered by other taxes (such as the motor tax) or operated on a pay-for-use basis.

HEYDRICH: Yes, the Irish government claims that the household tax and the water tax will go towards public services, including libraries and maintaining parks and footpaths.

LIES!!!!

Here in the USA the government says that federal income tax is used to run federal operations.

LIES!!!

The U.S. federal government gets all money for its operations by borrowing from the private central bankers who own the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile all revenue from the Federal Income tax– 100 PERCENT OF IT – goes straight to the central bankers to pay the interest on the currency they lend to the nation.

Likewise the Irish government borrows its euro currency from the bankers in Europe. The Irish household tax and water tax (plus €50 septic tank tax, etc) is a rent imposed by absentee landlords. It has nothing to do with maintaining public services. Other than direct tolls-based-on-direct-use (e.g. the motor tax) all money for pubic services is lent by the bankers, and all taxes go straight back to the bankers.

The lie is meant to impose guilt on the masses. “If you don’t pay for public services (i.e. pay the bankers) then you are selfish!”

Politicians in Ireland, like everywhere else, allow this to continue because they are well paid by the bankers. Politicians could get equally well-paid from a public central bank, but then they would have to be accountable. They would have to explain what they do with the State’s money. They find it easier (and more fun) to stay with the present system, in which the masses are utterly confused, and the politicians rule them as lords, using money created by the bankers.

Especially galling are Sinn Fein politicians who whine about the banker theft, but say that any opposition to this theft is “irresponsible.”

Other opposition TDs claim that they oppose the household tax, but Phil Hogan has told them to sod off. “I will not budge!” (His own words.) What a filthy maggot.

The bankers create money out of thin air, so why must they tax the masses? Because for bankers and politicians, it is not enough that they live in splendor. No, the masses must live in poverty.

By the way, even if the Irish masses agreed to cover the private speculators’ bad bets, how can the Irish masses ever know the amounts of those bets? The bankers say whatever they like. No one checks their figures. Thus the bankers will extract blood from the Irish masses forever.

Also, I misunderstood this tax. It’s not really a property tax. It is a new income tax levied on the masses, whether or not they own property.

[2] SULLIVAN: Another lie is that we are alone in not having a property tax. A similar tax in Italy, called ICI, applied to all properties with the exception of those owned by the Catholic Church. This tax was removed on principal dwellings as it was universally unpopular.

HEYDRICH: Yes, it enrages me when bankers and politicians try to justify their theft by imposing false guilt on the masses. “You are the only ones without a property tax!”

Even if this were true (which it isn’t), so what? If people in some other nation pay property taxes, then what does that have to do with us?

[3] SULLIVAN: Actually, nobody will be thrown in the street or even into jail. The ruling junta here will follow the lead of Greece's profoundly undemocratic un-elected tyrants and take the money as a lien on wages or bank accounts.

HEYDRICH: You’re right! I should have known! The bankers knew there would be resistance to their blood-sucking, so in 2010 they ordered the Brian Cowen government to pass the Fines Act, which lets the bankers extract the €100 “household tax” from your bank account and / or your paycheck, just like you said. (And this tax will steadily INCREASE…forever.)

If anyone tries to avoid paying, the fines will be stiff. Here is a semi-official listing of the fines, penalties, interest, etc…

http://www.moneyguideireland.com/category/household-tax

Those who do not own property, but who try to avoid paying the tax, will face a late-payment fee of €10 if the tax is not paid within six months of the due date, €20 between six and 12 months, and €30 if the payment is 12 months late. After two years, the penalty rises to €280.

If you have no property, no bank account, and no salary, then the State will deduct from any pension you receive, or unemployment benefits, or medical help, or whatever. If you have absolutely zero, then the State can’t touch you (as you die of starvation in the gutter).

Also, to crush the masses, the Irish government at all levels (federal, municipal, and county) will cut public services. Not because they lack money, but simply to punish the masses if they try to avoid paying the bankers.

But this won’t happen, since, as you noted, the new tax will be deducted from everyone’s income and / or bank accounts.

No wonder an average of 110 people a day flee from Ireland. A thousand a day would leave if they had the means to. Most go to Canada. Lucky ones make it all the way to New Zealand.

Some Irish labor unions claim to oppose the household tax, but this is a LIE. Union leaders are paid by the bankers. Notice, for example, how the Civil and Public Service Union will “debate” a motion to ballot 13,000 public sector workers for industrial action, such as a strike. This “debate” will possibly be next month, when the State has already started to deduct from everyone. And even then, it will only be a “debate” on whether or not to issue a ballot to 13,000 union members out of a total of 50,000 members. As always, union leaders work for the bankers and landlords. They have not called for a boycott, but they have told union members not to pay the tax – as if members had any choice. Union leaders are fucking liars.

NOTE: If a union still exists today, it is because bankers find it a useful tool to sustain the illusion among members than they have a say in their fate. If any union does what it is supposed to do (actually represent members’ interests), the bankers and lords instantly destroy it.

If union members try to avoid paying the household tax, and are fined, will the union help them? Leaders of the Civil and Public Service Union have no comment.

And how stupid the police are. While they are paid, they serve the bankers, and they obediently crush the masses, but police too are being sacked and downsized. As they swing their billy clubs, the masses scream, “You’re next!” but the police do not listen.

[4] SULLIVAN: Taxes never, ever bring about recovery. Not just in Ireland, but anywhere.

HEYDRICH: Exactly. Yet politicians say, “In order for you to have more money, you must have less and less money. You must pay taxes.”

If Ireland had a public central bank, then the only reason for taxes would be to regulate the money supply. If there is too much money in circulation, and inflation becomes a problem, then taxes remove some of the money to restore balance. If there is too little money, and there is a depression, then taxes are eliminated.

With privately owned central banks, taxes are blood sucked from the masses. That is the only purpose for taxes.

The bankers do not need this money. They create money out of thin air. They just want the masses to suffer.

There is no end to this. Poverty will continue to worsen, and taxes will continue to go up. Forever.

The only solution is for Ireland to dump the euro currency, and create a public central bank. Until that happens, nothing can change, since the bankers will always pay the police to crush you.

SPREAD THE WORD! PUBIC CENTRAL BANKS NOW!

Until we have public central banks, we will be helpless, no matter how much we protest.

The lie is meant to impose guilt on the masses. “If you don’t pay for public services (i.e. pay the bankers) then you are selfish!”

A more recent tack taken by the ruling junta is to suggest that those who break the law (i.e those who don't pay this tax) can not expect the protection of the law. The inference is that if you don't pay the tax, don't bother calling the police when you are burgled. It is unabashed bullying.

Especially galling are Sinn Fein politicians who whine about the banker theft, but say that any opposition to this theft is “irresponsible.”

I must have missed that. When did they say that? 

Other opposition TDs claim that they oppose the household tax, but Phil Hogan has told them to sod off. “I will not budge!” (His own words.) What a filthy maggot.

Philty Phil Hogan has swiftly become a pariah in the minds of the average Irish person precisely because of the belligerent nature of his outbursts.

The bankers create money out of thin air, so why must they tax the masses? Because for bankers and politicians, it is not enough that they live in splendor. No, the masses must live in poverty.

Exactly. Some people in the letters columns of the newspapers here appear to have copped on to this, with suggesting that they issue bonds and/or promissory notes in place of money for the payment of this tax.

If a union still exists today, it is because bankers find it a useful tool to sustain the illusion among members than they have a say in their fate. If any union does what it is supposed to do (actually represent members’ interests), the bankers and lords instantly destroy it.

Most unions in this country serve as a training ground for would-be politicians, with many union officials going on to plum political jobs in either the Fianna Fáil or Labour parties.

[1] I seem to have lost the link to that quote about Sinn Féin, but any party that does not address the need for a public central bank is a FRAUD.

If you do not specifically call for a public central bank, with true monetary sovereignty, then anything you say will merely be a variation on private control, with all of its nightmares. Sinn Féin opposes the CAHWT, but does Sinn Féin say the masses should pay nothing to the bankers at all? Does Sinn Féin call for total independence for Ireland?

If not, then Sinn Féin is on the banker payroll, and the party’s function is to sustain the illusion that the some politicians care about the masses.

Talk to a Sinn Féin member, or send an e-mail, and mention the need for a public central bank, and for true Irish independence. You will see I am correct: Sinn Féin is a fraud.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams says his problem is simply that the Government is not asking for flexibility. Thus, Adams believes the Irish masses must pay the bankers. He just wants a little more time.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0314/breaking70.html

Sinn Féin is not your friend. They use their “opposition” to gain personal favors. They work with trade unions, the Socialist Party, and the Socialist Workers Party in using CAHWT to get favors.

[2] The 100-euro flat rate is only a starting tax. For 2013 the Irish government plans to increase it according to one’s income and property. The new system could mean the owner of a regular three-bed semi-detached home having to pay between €200 and €300. This will come in the form of a "site valuation tax", which means the increased tax will be based on the assessed value of the site itself, not the type of house built on it. To track down everyone and make sure they pay the bankers, Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan has promised to change data protection legislation, saying there will be grim consequences for those unwilling to take their hands out of their pockets.

So if you have a mansion in one place, you will pay less than people who live in a shack at another place.

[4] The Irish masses are being forced to pay €30.6bn of promissory notes to the Central Bank on behalf of the former Anglo Irish Bank over the next 20 years. The bankers want a €3.1bn payment by 31 Mar 2012.

When interest is added to the €30.6bn, the bankers claim that the Irish masses owe them about €47.4 billion. But that is the figure right now. This debt is like the interest in a revolving account (such as a credit card). The longer you take to pay it all off, the more interest you pay.

The fact is, Ireland will NEVER be able to pay €47.4 billion, let alone all the future penalties and interest charges, which will increase forever.

Ireland, please understand. The bankers are not human. Whatever you give them, they will use it as an excuse to double, triple, and quadruple their demands. DO NOT think that if you give them this 100 euros, that will be the end of it. It will only be the beginning.

The bankers are already adding new stealth taxes like the Universal Social Charge, the Household Charge, VAT increases, motor tax increases and septic tank charges.

Businesses, shops and pubs in rural towns and villages are closing.

The Taoiseach wants to hand significant new powers over to the European Court of Justice and the European Commission.

SUGGESTION

There is a simple way to ensure 95 per cent of the population pay the household charge of €100. Raise the price to €105. And run a new lottery with the extra fiver.

Think about it. There was a time when tax evasion was one of our national pastimes. Then they introduced the Lotto, and suddenly we were queuing around the block to pay up. The Irish people will gladly hand over money to the Government as long as there is a chance that one in 1000 million might win (while the rest live all their lives in poverty).
