http://www.presstv.com/Program/169496.html In this edition of Press TV's on the edge with Max Keiser, Max discusses the link between the worker's struggle in Wisconsin and the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia with the journalist and blogger, David DeGraw. DeGraw believes what we are seeing in Wisconsin, Egypt, Tunisia and all over the world is a decentralized global rebellion against neo-liberal global economic policies. He believes the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, the IMF and the World Bank are the constituents of this destructive force.

Where's part 1?

Your looking good Max! The whole show really.

Prostitution comes in many forms.. certainly political. But nobody can trust a prostitute because a prostitute has no honor, no ethics, no personal responsibility. A prostitute KNOWS what they are doing and why they are doing it. They have no illusions. Unlike the "soldiers" who kill innocents in foreign countries because they have been brainwashed/propagandized to believe that they are "protecting America". Even though logic would tell them that America has not been threatened.

I don't think we have as much time as you think we do. The hungrier people get, the more chaos will occur, making it harder to organize and educate the ignorant who's REALLY in charge.

I agree with a lot that is said here...except what was said about Governor Walker. He is cutting government expenditures. That is a good thing. We spend way too much on public education. Yes, one of the bad effects is that school teachers take a cut...but they make more than the average taxpayer. Keep that in mind. We are broke because of the boom busts induced by the Federal Reserve. We all have to take a haircut, poor and elites.

You have to read the comments below from the bottom up. Too long for YouTube, so had to break it into chunks.

** EU = European Union; ECB = European Central Bank (Bundesbank in new guise)

But would the union leaders do anything effective? Even entertain organising something like that? No. That step will have to wait until privation bites deeper, I’m afraid. Believe me, though, it’s very frustrating to see the French, the Greeks, the Egyptians, Tunisians, Yemenis, Libyans, Bahreinis, Wisconsinites and Uncle Tom Cobley and all out there in front (power to them!) while Passive Paddy sits at home watching it all on TV and calling radio phone-ins to complain…

These are huge, but they have no objective, no political purpose, and in the event they are reduced to urban walks. Many of us suggested, demanded, exactly what Max stated — that we surround the Gov complex, camp there, and refuse to leave until the IMF/EU/ECB overlords were escorted to the airport, the rotten deal torn up, and the bank debt to bondholders repudiated.

Take-home incomes for most working people have fallen by anything from 25% to 35% in two years; but the rich keep raking it in and the bankers keep getting their bonuses.One reason why Paddy is so passive is the trade union leaders. They play Duke of York with the workers, dissipating their anger and energy with useless, purposeless marches from time to time.

So why aren’t there a million Paddies surrounding the government complex in Dublin insisting on change? That’s one that has been puzzling many of us here, because people have been savaged over the past two years — pay cuts, pension cuts, tax surcharges, levies and most recently a new double tax called the ’Universal Social Charge’, which is a poll tax levied on all income at a flat but increasing rate BEFORE any other tax is calculated. And much more…
-
Well, it won’t. The EU and IMF overlords, sent in to the Department of Finance to run things last winter, are still there, still overseeing and still giving orders. In fact, you could say that in respect of fiscal, economic and monetary policy, we have NO GOVERNMENT. Just the overlords.

Max asked about Ireland, and he’s right. Here in Ireland the new Fine Gael/Labour government walked away from their promises to defy the IMF/EU/ECB** loan conditions and drop the deal agreed by the former government. But they are conducting a charade of ’renegotiating’ the interest rate, which keeps people passive to some extent, plus there’s always that honeymoon period of expectation by the people that the government will deliver something positive.

We can lament about it ad nauseam, but until we educate the masses about the truth, until we organize the people into a cohesive movement, nothing will change.

@capucchan8 NOT I OR ANYBODY IM POLITICALLY ACTIVE WITH IS A 'SERF' AND WE'VE DEMONSTRATED THIS BY WORKING HARD TO ELECT OUR FIVE UNITED LEFT ALLIANCE TDs-THE STATE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY IS TOTALLY COMPLIANT WITH THE FIANNA FAIL/FINE GAEL POLITICAL DUOPOLY AND HAVE NOT CHALLENGED THESE CRIMINALS AND THEIR BANKING COHORTS-INDEPENDENT NEWS AND MEDIA IS ALSO OWNED BY DENNIS OBRIEN AND TONY OREILLY-TWO CUNTS WHO HAVE FINANCED FIANNA FAIL FOR YEARS-ALL PEOPLE HEAR IS 'WE ALL HAVE TO BEAR THE PAIN'

Did he say "extreme weather" at the end of the interview. Damn! He had me until he had to imply that the elite are somehow against the mediation of the mythological Anthropogenic Global Warming and are willing to live with extreme weather. Central Planning by Central Bankers is bad when they shift the cost of losses to the serfs, but apparently good when they can make the same serfs pay to fix an environmental problem that does not exist. These are the Revolutionaries?
-
the Irish will never revolt they have serf mentality

Ok, so now Max is indicating he doesn't know what a libertarian is either. Ron Paul is a typical libertarian just for those who are wondering what principles a libertarian advocate. Just listen to Ron Paul speak.
