For texture, I also made time for Max Keiser. Max is less moderate, very interested in driving social media traffic and how financial 'truth' is shared. Max is a US expat living in Paris, film-maker, broadcaster, former broker and options trader who hosts On the Edge, a news and analysis show hosted by Iran's Press TV.'
Whenever Max visits Infowars/PrisonPlanet, he valiantly tries to provide Alex with perspective on Europe. This proves challenging because Alex is a gun toting, christian constitutionalist patriot who thinks the 'globalists' are slowly killing us all by design. Oh, and Alex is from Texas. Alex lives, huffs and puffs CONSPIRACY. He's partially insane, slightly dangerous, sincere and immensely entertaining and boasts the largest radio audience on the planet, which he thinks a prison, hence the name of his show.
Today, Max tried to guide Alex back to sanity by offering his take on how Glenn Beck (mainstream) and Matt Drudge (alternative) are hy-jacking Alex Jones (hard core alternative) material but Alex is not convinced, not to worry, Max has an idea.
Max began by discussing Europe's recent protests. He thinks local groups are beginning to focus their anger and direct it toward the banks. He's calling it the battle between savers and speculators. The savers are simply people who want to work, make a decent living and have enough left for holiday, enjoy a trip to Spain perhaps, this kind of thing.
The bankers, the speculators play against the 'savers' interests. The bankers want their interest rates kept near zero so they can borrow money for free, speculate and make wild bets and make tons of money. Fair enough, but when they lose, which they do every now and then, they don't want to suffer the consequences. They're savvy enough enough to get government to bail them out which in turn means someone must suffer and it's probably going to be the savers who must agree to accept austere measures and work until the day they die in order to pay off the speculator's debt. Such as it spins in the orbit that is Max Keiser.
Max feels strongly this financial 'truth' is destroying lives all over the world hence the rioting in Ireland, Paris, Greece, etc. Alex agrees and this makes him mad. He's already really, really mad to begin with and he really, really wants Americans to quit drinking the flouridated water which he insists makes then dull, drunk and way too apathetic. This is but one conspiracy in a million that are well documented and live in neat stacks all over Alex's desk which must be very, very large indeed.
I personally, never get to see these much vaulted stacks because I prefer to leave the rant in the background, on my iPhone on the windowsill, kinda like teabag muzak, while I'm on my knees trying to find the fur Colette and Godot left the day before, mysteriously lurking in some new corner...what am I but a valet.
Max, on the other hand insists America is only slightly behind the times and will soon catch up with those across the pond. Max says, yes, Americans still enjoy the benefits of the greenback being the reserve currency but this will change as well as the artificially low price of gas and food, but boy, when they skyrocket, and they will, according to Max, America will face their own economic reality and its citizens will riot, big time. I have my doubts. About all of this, hence the Jon Stewart/Max Keiser 'blend'.
However, in the mean time Max has an idea. He asked Alex to do something he's been doing for several weeks, but with a nifty spin. Alex has been asking his audience to drive traffic by identifying a 'favorite phrase', then making his millions of listeners frantically type in his 'favorite phrase' over and over again which they do like good christian soldiers, connecting them and others to a specific link, highlighting one of the many conspiracy theories that live amongst the many stacks scattered across his desk. So far, everytime, his 'favorite phrase' has hit #1 on google.
The whole TSA thing is proof Alex Jones is driving traffic, but who is wagging whom, still seems sort of up in the air.
Allors, back to Max's idea. All he asks is that Alex get 100 million Americans to buy a silver coin and they will, by power of his 'Favorite phrase', buy 100 million silver coins and voila, JP Morgan will crash. Simple. As. That.
Doesn't sound so simple to me, and I've no idea how radicial this idea is, how practical, no idea other than I'll be somewhere when it does, yes, that much is certain.
