A make believe for equity swap yes right remember in raiders of the lost ark where he swapped a bag of sand for the Golden Nugget on the pedestal and then the big boulder came to chase and this is whats happening in the markets are replacing equity with a bag of sand or nothing and another big boulder of massive debts coming to chase them down the corridor and heres some more make believe we you and i saw this in belfast back in i think it was 2012 when the g 8 conference was there and member their economy was wrecked and they had to put up Fake Store Fronts well heres from the wall street journal some empty storefronts on 5th avenue or getting dressed up for the holidays a creative solution during a critical season for the Retail Industry you know retail space there are so overpriced that even giant corporations are unwilling to pay it and so the stubborn a standoff between these lease holders and the retail outlets theyre all empty so in order to create the illusion and continue having tourists come into 5th avenue. Theyre just going to be met with fixed nothing they could actually buy its a potemkin village yes remember we saw this in belfast during the troubles and legacy of the troubles is that some storefronts are left as a potemkin village they are look like somethings going on but theyre actually empty as a way to negotiate whats the ancient rivalries up there in belfast Northern Ireland so heres another make believe tweet theyre earning less bull market the s. And p. 500. 00 p. E. Ratio in white versus earnings per share green as you see the earnings per share are tumbling where as the p. E. Ratio is soaring stocks are soaring earnings are flat or in fact declining well earnings are shrinking because of big lobel zation the valorization all the easy money is off the table with peak oil which means all the easy cheap oil is gone weve peaked Everything Everything thats been cheap is gone in our convalescing ourselves as a negative Interest Rates are all about self conversation youre eating your arm to stay alive eventually the doesnt work so well speaking of the make believe theres nothing more make believe than fiats currency and of course what is real is gold and here is the headline u. K. Cant be trusted with gold top slovak party leader says so theyre going to repatriate their gold from the United Kingdom and notice that word that it cant be trusted and thats always associated with the lobel is a sion an absence of trust between trading partners and a lot has to do with as weve talked about especially over the past year the u. S. Dollar as a settlements layer magistracy have been covering this phenomenon for a while and i think gordon brown hit peak paper the peak paper market the peak nail liberal moment the peak post world war 2 washington consensus moment was when gordon brown sold half. Britains gold at the rock bottom price of 250. 00 an ounce sense the time gold has swung from being out of favor to being in favor to the point where last year central bank for the 1st time were net buyers of gold in a big way and now theyre just ratcheting up either their gold purchases or gold repatriation i think at an alarming rate if you want to look at the progress or the product prognosis for a free up money Going Forward its not good if all these countries are scrambling like mad to get their gold back and to buy more gold of course the unite Bloomberg News has been reporting on the entirety of the Eastern Europe including hungary poland and theyre saying that these governments are absurd for asking for their gold back these are populist movements and they should stop this but you know i think this is part of the trend that weve seen since 2016 especially really kicked into gear is that this absence of trust in the status quo what weve had for the past 40 years since 1971 since neo liberalism was allowed to be unleashed since the baby boomers came on into the market as the number one voting bloc thats over there no longer the biggest voting bloc and all their ponzi schemes are falling apart and this slovakias former premier said that parliament should force the central bank to bring back the nations gold sword in the u. K. As history has shown that allies can hardly be trusted extremely or robert fico who chairs the biggest Political Parties slovakia said his formation is seeking to hold a special parliamentary session on the issue the gold is not safe in the u. K. Because of believe something thats unmentionable due to laws in the u. K. And possible Global Economic crisis so in this situation hes saying and i think Alan Greenspan by the way would agree is that unless you have your gold in your possession you dont have the gold well let me sum up the Global Economy in just a few words number one banks all over the world have been making incredible amounts of junk loans to corporations to buy other corporations. Those banks when they have a lot of junk loans built up that are not repayable they sell them to the Central Banks for this ever mounting global pile of treasuries and money thats being created to buy back the junk bonds the junk debt from the banks who have been just giving into their friends to buy out other corporations and these massive mergers and acquisitions stock repurchase scams and that has a finite end date and the you cant do this forever and were approaching the moment now were in the smart people in Different Countries now in Eastern Europe if the alarm bells are wrong and theyre like you know what this is an unsustainable ponzi scheme between junk bond dealing banks on wall street and the Central Banks and they are only protection and this goes back thousands of years our only protection has always been owning and buying gold you want to call it a populist movement it doesnt matter what you call it its going to be survival of the gold assist those with the most gold make the laws and in the 21st century of course itll be those with the most bitcoin will make the laws but thats going to take a few more years to develop read david greene has 5000 years of debt the fact is that whenever trust is absent gold rises and so you know youve seen not only china and russia accumulating gold but you see since the report went to frankfurt and confronted the central bank the bundesbank about their gold reserves and they admitted to us that their gold reserves were actually held the new york they since have repatriated most of it and because of our arrival there and the them admitting to us that it was held in new york so germany was the big 1st creditor nation to or get their gold back and then many other nations have followed including i think it was the netherlands poland hungary slovakia is asking for it and by the way this is like an ancient thing this is a were. Quote from what this guy robert says is the issue here he says you can hardly trust even the closest allies after the munich agreement he told reporters referring to a 1038 pact by france the u. K. Italy and germany which allowed adolf hitler to annex a part of czechoslovakia i guarantee that if something happens we wont see a single gram of this gold lets do it as quickly as possible there is a most gold is not in the country where should be is because of world war 2 because hitler was starting everyone in europe so everyone in europe put their gold elsewhere in the u. K. In the u. S. And now were in a post kind of world war 2 scenario where people are saying wait a minute we dont trust the u. S. We dont trust the u. K. To hold our gold anymore we want that gold back in our own vaults in our own country and of course gold is a commodity that doesnt need a 3rd party in its value unto itself it does not like money that has no no no value without a government saying well go to war to defend it other than the house of value and of course because some lowly is is valuable based on itself itself itself validating which makes it even better than gold but now were in this period of massive scrambling amongst countries to prepare for this money collapse. As well and you see this again just like the 1921930 s. Its relevant that he points out in 1938 packs because here we have the u. S. Slapping sanctions and tariffs on everybody this is the same thing that happened after the Great Depression during the Great Depression everybody was beggaring the neighbor so if theyre going to start beggaring the neighbor of this guy is right that he wont see a grand that the nation wont see a gram of gold back from the United Kingdom theyve already seized then as well as gold for example so youre not going to see slovakias gold if you dont get it back jim rickards told us that here on the show that the u. S. Will seize whatever go. They have event of a crisis. He has about 31. 7 metric tons of gold worth 1300000000 euros in the bank of england and remember it was just in the last few weeks that poland got 8000 bars of gold back which is 100. 00 tons and 8000000000. 00 or 5000000000. 00 from the bank of england in terms of their gold well heres a heres an interesting and fun fact i there are approximately 7000000000. 00 ounces of gold above ground thats all the goal thats ever been mine since the beginning of time and theyre about 7000000000 people on earth so every person on planet earth man woman and child to get one ounce of gold and that would be a great way to redistribute wealth anyway were going to take a break and when we come back much more golden stuff coming your way dont go away. Facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark so. They are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real its detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always be one dog food over another one comparative Shopping Service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power in democracy is an illusion the free and Fair Election doesnt exist the more. Roku we give them the sooner were all pain. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. A. Little bit of let me. Ask i would name will. Pick i could. Record not. To show more than. Can you love clues even will not. Tend to make it a c. Because dont want to touch. The who want to have fun with the kook on the scene do it in the out not as you. Know most of the political. Knew of those damone. Much of this news for learning one thing for not. So when you hire to use in to do. The job. One of the media has on the net passing them. Welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time out of santa Dominic Frisby comedian choice over artist gold bug bit coin enthusiastic author of a new book Daylight Robbery how tax shaped our past and will change our future welcome back dominic thanks very much max how you doing oh awesome so everyone in america knows that the income tax was introduced after the introduction of the central bank are these 2 related if so can you explain a little bit yeah they are very much related to. The interest into income tax was introduced to us in america are 90 see america its time rely almost entirely on carrots for its federal revenue and they want to define you as replacing tariffs is that of course a lot of tension between north and south because tension that resulted in mung of the things the American Civil War and death so he wanted to find another means to sue a strawman standing in the group to be income tax 913. 00 it was introduced to quench how dramatically have cooled when american joined the 1st world who but even so most americans were paying ordinary americans werent really paying income tax until the 2nd one who will 1942 and the revenue act of 942. 00 grew income tax to every man and it was a famous song that was composed right Irving Berlin and it was actually commission from having brilliant who tracked hate my income tax today make american celebrate the joeys i think contacts in it contain the lariat i paid my income tax today a 1000 planes to lend that will be paid for and i chipped in and was ever there and clearly made a return tax on movies that particular so merry fascinating stuff so that the name of the book is called Daylight Robbery how tax shaped are passable. Change our future so dominic france me as done a bit of a deep dive into taxon its of some fascinating interesting stories here and several canon several candidates on the democratic nomination are proposing a wealth tax on billionaires the fact is however that as the fed that turns billions to they cant tell in effect creating all these billionaires so should they target the fat instead should we get back this ill gotten wealth donek one of the biggest taxes simple throughout history has being the stealth tax that is information that is the debasement of money and its a tax that united max and railed against. Milton friedman cooled it taxation without legislation and yeah theyd be as well to sort out their current serious they would to be taxing billionaires and do you know let me ask you a question you know where you get the expression Daylight Robbery from you know. We get it from we used to have a thing in the in the u. K. Called window tax and in fact throughout europe where people were taxed on our window and this tax went on in the u. K. For 17180 years and when in peace finally debated whether this tax was a good or bad thing in parliament they cried out Daylight RobberyDaylight Robbery and thats because in order to avoid paying tax many people locked up their windows and this was no small sacrifice to cool see no snakes there was no electricity not even gas and electric. Lighting and we live with tallow candles and so the coal lost a lot and they lost their fresh air in many many incidences of d. C. s in the Industrial Revolution much worse these cramped damp when dentist weddings and thats where the expression Daylight Robbery derives from right i think also in london architecturally speaking there is only have that basement and theres a bit of a railing between the edifice on the street as also tax related and it created a very distinctive look but it shows that tax policy has it as many facts that are on unplanned and in many times detrimental and talking about taxes the yellow of us movement in france is at its heart a tax free vaults on petrol many including david graber also suggest that attach a vault against the can tell in a fact your thoughts on whats happening there without doubt its a tax rebellion max every single rebellion revolt rising revolution into history has at its heart its been a tax rebellion its a rebellion against some kind of inequitable who taxation some kind of economic injustice created by the tax system most famously of course the American Revolution no taxation without representation the french rebel. Lucian a revolt against the decadence of the opera promises which were paid for by the peasants the Russian Revolution the english civil war most famously perhaps the most clearly was the not rush things and the most clearly the philippines revolution began with the cry of program and women who exhorted citizens to tear up their tax a typical but this then you can go right back through history that use us to skate. Egypt they were trying to escape taxation and the ultimate form of taxation is a cruel slavery where you lose all on the ship of your labor and tax hasnt just shakes the world in which you know taxes today dont just how money tend to consequence since throughout history theyve had these are intended consequences to the point so wait you can actually all during the entire history of the entire history of civilization has been shaped by taxation as i said every revolution every wall responded by taxes but theyre all sorts of bizarre. Relations for example mary and joseph were only in bethlehem to pay taxes when jesus was school women had to say so not levy taxes mary and joseph would never being that christianity would never have been home in the way that it did its had these incredible effects on history the very 1st accidents were levied in ancient mesopotamia taxation is as old as civilization itself the very 1st rate records we have on tax records. And because tax records tend to be the best preserved records of home for obis reasons and historians so often when theyre trying to learn about a society they go to tax records and the way to tax on history has been incredible and thats why i wrote this book im trying to encourage people to look. Through this prism of taxation when you do spend much becomes clear why i things are as they are why things. If rolled in the way they did but also how things are going to be in the future the name of the book is Daylight Robbery and Dominic Frisby is the author and as weve discussed many times sometimes you look at an economic aspect to history and you find its very elucidating in this case in tax policy now dominick you believe that the solution dollars Daylight Robbery is actually nevertheless a tax a land tax a tax on land not labor why is there less robbery why is it better what does a look like tell us about the 1st and foremost max im a big believer in taxes at the moment roughly 50 percent of everything you are if youre living in that you have over the course of your life will be taken from you in taxes we think we tend to think of as a house is the most expensive purchase will ever make by far and away more expensive as you know from an extraordinary you know obviously in the Shape Society you are 100 percent nice. By somebody else and if you are going to a Totalitarian Society pretty much 100 percent of your late burn your produce you know profit and then the other extreme you look at some of the most liberated societies in history im a ready ever taxed 10 or 15 percent and this is a number to the ancient traditions of the colony and especially. Because we have 10 fingers on our hand its an easy its an easy number to calculate but yes so im a big believer in taxes but im also really we should defend well today so its sort of 50 percent somewhere in between those 2 extremes if you know you mentioned greece taxes were home and tree you know matching boat tree taxation and then of course north korea everything you own everything you. And we sit in the middle so im a big believer that. We should be back towards the 50 percent mark somewhere around there the more liberates and more inventive the more innovative societies in history will always allow taxable i say sheep but in addition i would tax. 50 percent of government revenue derived from income taxes of some current or other and as a result the work is unfairly creating life now if you start out in line with nothing but one thing you have if you work but we catch the work constant and heavily on the other hand we dont tax lax we hardly tax the land so so i would replace income tax or a large portion of income taxes with a tax on the rent to find you of land in its unimproved state if you can prove land you built a house on it or a factory what youve built on the land should be used to create but the land in its own improved state you know if you were deriving if you were making a fortune from that the only reason its going up is because of the needs of the community and not because of anything that you put in and so the idea is to stop some of that share now home problem was economically speaking was one of the most success. Countries in the 2nd half of the 20th century went from shanty town shortly after world war 2 to futuristic city state in barely 2 generation now home program taxes a percentage of g. D. P. Never exceeded 14 percent income taxes were only levied against the very rich and instead they have only percent of government revenue came from land taxes so the most who is proven a mom who works in the left wing politicians in america maybe theres a switch from raising income tax on billionaires to introducing elan tax and that would pretty much do the same thing dominick well the left wing politicians any problem exists believe in much levels of greater Government Spending than i do and they want much more government intervention. Economy im i dont buy that i believe that individuals making their own choices make much better decisions than governments and bureaucrats but nevertheless beyond human the left wing arguments in the case for land tax and thats an argument that i buy but i would tax and heavy as they proposed to i dont tax and making 10 percent of its annual rent for buying something right now you know youre also looking at the Global Markets on a 4 x. Market on the dollar your thoughts on mark carney statement recently that the world needs an alternative to the u. S. Dollar as a unit of account here mark carney your central bank over there at the bank of england saving lee breaking ranks with others and calling out the dollar can you give us some insight on that weve got about 20 seconds i day trust not carney and he any deficits whats required to the senate any given moment and so i mean yes the well is probably going to get an alternative to the dollar eventually and in the long because its the way independent money hes gotten out of all Monetary System all right well you heard it from none other than Dominic Frisby the name of the book is Daylight Robbery how tax shaped our past and will change our future thanks for being on the kaiser report thanks very much max a pleasure talking to you oh great yeah i can find it on amazon by the way it makes a great Christmas Gift you know if youd like to get in touch with us tweet us a kaiser report until next time by you know.
