Cantillon effect all the money printing is going to these billionaires directly so were going to show you how the cantillon effect is not only help the billionaires but now the Central Banks are directly intervening and gifting these billionaires this money the e. C. B. Bots l v m h bonds to finance tiffany acquisition are no is one of the richest men in the world e. C. B. Q. E. Is nuts the mh sold some bonds and apparently the e. C. B. Is in the Corporate Bond market just like janet yellen as we mentioned last episode is planning on that or suggests that the Us Federal Reserve does that eventually they change the laws so that the Federal Reserve can buy Corporate Bonds well 2 of the 5 euro traunch as were placed that negative yields meaning investors are paying a single a rated l v m h to borrow money thanks to the e. C. B. I mean this is really the end game because you had a period in Global Finance where banks got in trouble you know in 2008 they may horrible loans and they were insolvent they became technically insolvent so the Central Banks got together and they said lets lower Interest Rates down artificially to near 0 so that banks can borrow unlimited amount of money at 0 percent Interest Rate and recapitalize themselves and paper over all the mistakes and it made a lot of billionaires as you mentioned jeff bezos bill gates Michael Bloomberg say made like of 40 or 50000000000 in the last 10 years based entirely on money printing from the fed and his relationship to the new york fed so now we are in 2020 and bernard are no of a luxury brand. And wants to sow more high priced trenchards to his billionaire friends to been given billions of dollars so he took the money from the European Central bank that has near 0 percent Interest Rates to bail out the banks and he took that to acquire tiffany so that he can so more high priced trinkets to his billionaire friends even a negative Interest Rate so that means that people who have money in pension accounts people who have money in savings are actually digging into their pockets because their savings rate their pension accounts are now dealing close to 0 or negative theyre taking money out of their pockets thanks to the central bankers and theyre giving it to a billionaire so they can buy tiffany so they can so trinkets to more billionaires this is louis the 16th i believe living off the a labor of the peasants forget about the global insurrection against banker occupation lets talk about a basic global peasant uprising the french revolution was open ultimately started not only because of the enlightenment ideas but because the king opened his books to the people and the people had did not have the imagination to understand just how much money and luxury asli these these the royal family that they were financing how how how luxury as their lives were so again the same thing with with this when you realize like most people will focus on just what the cable news will tell them the cable news will tell them that our know is so generous and hes giving money toward Notre Don Bezos is so generous hes giving 10000000000. 00 to Climate Change he cares about you people same with bill gates and Warren Buffett they wont talk about the systemic structure they wont talk about the cantillon effects they wont talk about the Central Banks giving them trillions of dollars of which they benevolently give you some a few peanuts Mike Bloomberg he went from being worth 3000000000 in 2008 to worth 60000000000 now i think he was worth 57000000000 when he started running. For president for the nomination and now hes were 62000000000 i see in the last thing so he hes going to give 2000000000 back to the Creative Class to make as for his no doubt doomed campaign but theyll be happy theyll be generous with him in the future when theyre running offices or think tanks or a Political Office and they think like well we should get somebody to help these poor people with Food Stamp Program well give it to Mike Bloomberg will have a trillion and if he gives 50000000000 of it to the people itll look so good i mean thats an exe an exaggeration but this is the sort of this is what canton effect does well psychological warfare because you know people can get over paying in fear but its hard to get over shame so what these billionaires are doing to people is that they are trying to get them to feel ashamed that theyre not rich like venom and this psychologically has a very dilatoriness effect in that it creates self loathing and we see other american with the thousands of opiate overdoses these are this is the result of the console in effect in my plan work hes encouraging people to take opiates until they are dead if youre in a room of 100 people that is the nation and the Central Bank Gives you max kaiser gives you 100. 00 to every dollar you give everybody else you no matter what will psychologically come up with an ideology and some think tanks to support your ideology to why you deserve this uniquely its just its just a process of human nature everything around us as human nature but we can change it we can alter the course of this we dont have to continue to give these people money and hope that they trickle down to us i was looking at a story so this pandemic hitting around the world and of course there will be vulnerable nations i would include the United States in that because of our Health Care System and how expensive it is but the. World bank a few years ago when ebola was going on introduce this notion of a pandemic beyond there is a corona virus pandemic bond which should theoretically pay out 250000000. 00 when this pandemic hits but its not yet a pandemic and not enough people have died and the bankers were able to set the terms of when this pays out and its almost impossible to reach the world bank has paid 115000000 in premiums and banking fees for this bond that probably wont pay out but they come up with these elaborate schemes always the elaborate schemes always give wall street bankers or the elite more money you know its always buffys offer products and never pay out we saw the Goldman Sachs straight and many many products that all failed they even made bets against their own customers or took their own products because they knew they would fail before the us Healthcare System and they get the fees they get the fees but to their point look i understand what youre saying that if you give 100. 00 people or a few people excess of killings of dollars i mean you cant blame those people for taking that free money what im saying is what stops a peasant revolt and what stops the peasants from revolting is toxic shame that comes with the money from the central bank because they put up a message to folks there m s n b c and c. N. N. That if youre not down with the billionaires its because youre a shameful individual thats very hard psychologically to deal with max and i have this unique ability to observe the world outside of a partisan sort of nationalistic bent and just look at the facts and the data and say this doesnt make any sense and. About maybe 78 years ago we started looking at fracking and saying this doesnt make any sense they seem to be losing money over and over and as we keep on reporting over the years the losses could greater and greater and fracking investors are losing money. Mostly Pension Funds buying their bonds stockholders of course in the these companies are down 90 percent those are different class of. Those chumps lost and however fracking continues and continues so heres a paper out of finland from the government backed research and they found that Government Agency warns Global Oil Industry is on the brink of a meltdown they found that were not running out of oil theres plenty of it but that its having to go to extremes to extract it whether deep deep water or fracking and what they Peer Reviewed report calls for the European Commission to consider oil as the worlds most important critical raw material despite offering a scathing critique of the conventual Peak Oil Theory the report arrives at the shock conclusion that the economic viability of the entire Global Oil Market could come undone within the next few years so they point out that fracking has like yes provided some oil but its created the delusion that this is continue this could be possible to continue and the credit only quantitative easing in free money i fracking can only continue if the money keeps some pouring for free and if the money keeps pouring for free we have all these distortions like the stock market bubbles like these generous billionaires who get wealthier and wealthier and wealthier and wealthier and told the entire system to become so fragile that it falls apart once again the Global Economy in the Global Oil Industry is mimicking soviet union member and soviet union it wasnt about doing something economically it was about just delivering units more units give us more units and then well figure out the economics someday and then they went bankrupt so here the oil industry is saying we dont care that fracking doesnt make any money we dont care that its actually more energy and more energy out were just want units we want to deliver barrels we want to be able to show that we have more barrels of saudi arabia until that day when they say oh by the way its collapsed so this is a global collapse thats now baked into the cake the soviet union already been there thats why theyre positioned probably better than anyone right now russia to deal with the global collapse because theyve been working post collapse already unlike america has to go through its collapse now. No unfortunately but thats part of growing up now there is a book called the empire of debt and this is part of what is going on here with this story is that its the economy our economy of the u. S. Dollars designed to 70 want to structured around debt so that is always the answer is just printing more and more debt and eventually. We run out of the capacity to pull forward the real world consumption that is starting to hit all over the world whether sees viruses or antarctica melting or things like that so we see what they say is the plateau ing of conventional crude Oil Production in january 2005 was one of the triggers of events leading to the 2008 Global Financial crash according to the report as debt built up in the subprime mortgage sector the crude oil plateau drove up the Underlying Energy costs for the entire economy making that debt more difficult to repay and eventually resulting in catastrophic defaults they report warns that unresolved dynamics of the Global Energy system are only temporary relieved due to quantitative easing the creation of new money by Central Banks correction is now overdue and warrants and like what you talked about with jim councilor in the 2nd half is this magical thinking that allows us a situation where we dont even try to come up with alternatives because theres always more debt we think to keep on adding and adding in the debt seems to work theres no fiscal policy theres no industrial policy theres no environmental policy theres no long term policy we dont do any long term planning we have to think more and more to the nanosecond because thats the only thing we can control and we cant think about tomorrow we can think about the next say weve gone the opposite of Scarlett Ohara theres never tomorrow like dont think about tomorrow well as mark famously said and then anna all right were going to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way. The Russian State TelevisionPropaganda Machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are in an information war. The can change the world tomorrow. We send out you tube videos the 1st sleepless night shift today is the longest network. Pressure brushes russia russia and russia say. To feel the fear that they will actually use russia to live and i really have to put joins up to people to see you then on r g. 4 are so proud and still. Are just getting through a number. Why have you not shut down our t. V. On you tube its a Propaganda Machine mr walker. Nuclear power become a battleground in the u. S. In vermont people have demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country wheres it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or how or lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle on r. T. Welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to jim counsellor now he is the author of a new book called living in the long emergency its a follow up to his smash hit the long emergency published in 2005 the book will be available in march jan consular welcome back a pleasure to be with you max and stacey so weve been talking to you for a while and you have a said you a sleigh and accurately predicted all of the chaos and mayhem that we are currently living in unfortunately have been absolutely correct now before we get to your book lets talk about the coronavirus its cutting off supply chains turns out theres a great deal of our medical supplies are made in china so theres a shortage of medical masks in the u. S. Hospitals as part of one long just in time globalized emergency jim well it sure doesnt look good you know i got an email from a lady i correspond with up in toronto actually and shes actually a great military and naval analyst for you know someone whos just a basically a canadian grandmother but shes very concerned about her family and. Theyre trying to lay an insulin supplies and insulin out there is only like 35. 00 a month insulin down here is a lot more expensive so you know we have no idea whats going to happen with that whole scene with the supply chain seeing but the most interesting feature of all that at the moment is that theres no chatter about that in the media or the news its like just another day at the beach for america you know we dont seem really that concerned about it its interesting that they outsourcing of jobs and manufacturing to china has led america into this illusion that there is no inflation but once they supply lines get cut suddenly things that people are thinking are worth are buying a 0. 10 on the dollar so they skyrocket and were going to see some of that i think now the subtitle of your new book is called the Global Crisis the failure of the futurists and the early adopters who are. Showing us the way forward so lets start with the future as the future is a failed why did they fail jim well mostly because they think that the future is going to be a continuation of what were doing now you know i came from a place where i was studying the growth and development of cities and writing a lot about cities and suburbs 2025 years ago and im still involved in that area and you know you got people like ed glaeser at harvard you know who are saying that well just our cities are just going to continue to be bigger and higher denser larger you know more spread out with more of the worlds population in them you know i think that ideas like that are pretty. Out of scale with reality and that in fact you know were going to see our cities contract substantially this scale of them is going to have to get much smaller it is going to have to be consistent with the resource and capital realities of the future and you know people like that dont see it at all just like people today have no idea what will happen when supply chains start to break down and we really cant put anything together anymore you know whether its you know parts for our hydroelectric dams or the electric grid our you know all the motors that are running everything in america you know just about anything you can think of yeah i see that you have a little pet gecko there maybe i do for the folks at home i want to see that all right. Here you know this is one of my ornaments in the in the office well and this happens to be easy to the Democratic Party are. So lets talk about take oil for a 2nd so this is got to be something that would have your name all over because you were talking about this for a while ago and really laying out that the case for this and the problem the peak oil story its not necessarily that their world is running out of oil its that the world is running out of oil that is affordable to drill and this was put aside for a few years with the fracking explosion but now its very much back on the table you know that was the subject of their book the long emergency of public 15 years ago so quantitative easing and 0 percent Interest Rates helped keep us fracking boom going and extended the life of oil but it looks like now way are at the point im seeing more and more headlines to the effect that the cost of Energy Extraction and fossil fuel extrac
