Bonnie - You asked the question "What did they do with the borrowed money?" Max (and one one else) has ever answered that question!!

Most evocative depiction of Global Financial “Nazification” of Western Europe by the Euro (EU) and the US (" debt" based economies v. a "Production" economy) vis-avis austerity measures, lost jobs, unions, collective bargaining, cuts in wages (8% cut since 1973-2005 v. 55% gain in productivity) critical social services, the acquisition by a Phony currency vis-à-vis CDS (Credit Default Swaps: 600-1500 trillion dollar industry) and Certified Debt Obligation(CDO) to steal and privities utilities, parks, railroads, infrastructure, utilities…and where the analysis has it s “shortfall” it that it put the motive on good old “greed” (Money) not on “Nazification” (satanical power, illuminati, freemasons)where the fundamental acquisition is the gratuitous joy and [pleasure that this elite oligarchs (Rockefellers, Warburgs and Rothschilds and extended family and "made" power and subservient class to the elite: 15-30 million in US) get from population control, seeing people suffer and in route to extermination as in Nazi Germany.. I expect in the US it will be 60 million people across Europe it at least in the tens of millions of people…
Greece needless to say, as Max Keiser is his provocative discussion should have emphasized, go off the EURO and put in place a debt free "production" based economy utilizing its own currency exclusively

Bravo Bonnie-First Rate show.KPFA with Bonnie Faulkner combined with Flashpoints with Dennis Bernstein,Morning Mix with Phillps and Huff prove to be the best programming in the United States for information. Keiser is right on. Power to the People, not bankers.

"Will this be Debt or Credit"
"Whats Your FICO Credit Score"
"Stop Drunk Driving - An Just Stop Everyone"
"Lets help save the People In Libya"
"Lets Get Noriega before he Kill all his Own People"

Just Be a Lamb "Shut The Fuck Up...!" NOT Today - Knowledge is powerful keep seeking it.

It may not be a bad thing at all is Greece under German Rule. German is a superpower. The Greeks live under German rule will be much better than living under their own corrupt stupid Greek government. Many Greeks living overseas love living in foreign countries.

Things are getting so bad that an American Military Coup seems to look like a feasible option to stop a Global Depression and WW III.

Great combination - Max Keiser and Guns and Butter! Thanks for keeping us on top of the news, Bonnie!

One sided. Only blame the evil bankers only reveal half of the facts. The other half are the lazy Greeks. They wake up at 0900 am go to work only till 0200 pm then started dinner party from 05 - 06 pm and the Greek pay no taxes too! But these people were enjoying the same living standards as the hard working high taxes paying Germans. What can you expect from the end result? The Greeks deserve what that got too. LOL

Great show Bonnie. Nobody can express things any clearer than Max when it comes to the crimes of the international banking cartel which is in effect a shadow global government. As the Greeks face loss of their sovereignty via privatization of their assets and perpetual debt slavery via imposed austerity measures, U.S. citizens must wake up to the fact that this is what is planned for them too.

There’s no doubt the U.S. government, acting as a bribed and blackmailed agent of the kleptocrats, has perfected the crime of occupying other countries but now it appears to be doing a self-occupation, at least judging by the increasing number of “brownshirts” (actually black, blue and green) stomping around the country. The kleptocrats want it all folks and now they have at home mercenaries which are called officers, agents and guards to help take away the wealth, dignity and security of U.S. citizens. To be fair, these mercenaries are not aware of the role they are playing. They probably think they are the good guys but they're not.

I've come to appreciate Keiser more recently, mostly through his shows on RT and links on enlightened media journals. His concerns about the public domain are stirring, and his no-BS explanations of toxic banking ("Jackals!" without a doubt...) are very bracing and necessary.

I don't find much that's helpful or insightful about this fear of Germany, however-- especially Keiser's speculation on the 'fourth Reich'... I'm sorry, but not every German is straining at the harness to get back in business to dominate Europe. That is a careless observation, very poorly worded. I CAN believe that a covert, international assortment of financiers and bankers are doing their best to undermine social and cultural order everywhere by promoting unsustainable and destructive economic practices, though.

We all know by now that the 'saintly victim' figure of post-Holocaust Ashkenazi Jews has become a self-parody in light of current behavior in the Middle East... therefore the same logic applies to the endless demonization of a whole cultural entity that must forever justify itself despite its worst infamy. In fact, all citizens among modern nations are culpable for some wrongdoing, mostly done at a remove or by proxy; the Germans just made the big mistake of personalizing their outrages by boldly putting their imprint on it. (George Carlin: "There is no such thing as an innocent victim").

The British and Americans were more savvy: expedite the foul deeds to the colonies (or war theaters), and extract the tasty bits for consumption at home. As long as the riches and the glory last at home, nobody's going to argue about a few [hundred] thousand dead in some far-off realm. But, as Keiser shrewdly points out, the feast is coming to an end, and that explains why all this frenzied world bank blackmailing is taking place.

It's too bad Keiser can't avoid the typical pratfalls of characterizing people as villains using textbook metaphors.

According to Al Martin (economic expert ex-insider), Goldman Sachs and others are putting together "infrastructure funds" in order to buy public assets cheaply. A Goldman Sachs 2010 SEC filing says it wants to sell "ownership and operation of public services such as airports, toll roads, shipping ports, power generation facilities.... both within and outside the US". He then explains they are buying for 30 cents on the dollar, but getting a 100 cent K-1 depreciation write off, as well as a gov't. guarentee to future revenues... more at his site (subscription) but you can read a bit of it at conspiracyplanet.com

Bonnie Faulkner,
Another great interview. Max Keiser talking about Germany
reminded me of the mystery of THE GERMAN CARD.
I wish you could find a reliable person who has read
and researched this book written a few years ago
by a former head of military intelligence for West
Germany. The book has not been translated into
English except for it's title which is:
THE GERMAN CARD by Gerd-Helmut Komossa.
The author asserted-I believe truthfully--that under
dire threat, post WW II West Germany signed a
secret agreement with the [secret] government of
the US that gave control over the German military, political
process and media to the US government until 2099.

This book is vitally important, yet it is never mentioned.
Russia Today did a brief review of the book when it
was translated from German to Russian. The book was
banned in Germany, I believe, and was published in
Austria initially in 2008 or 2009.

The link to the RT piece on YouTube is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGjkQAa9I34
and a better site with text and video news piece dated 11/2009
including:
"In Gerd-Helmut Komossa’s book “The German Card”,
he claims Germany has, until now, been controlled
by the United States and its allies, and was even viewed
as a possible target.'
from:
http://rt.com/usa/news/germany-us-pact-komossa/

[I have read that The national Security Act in 1947
that created the DOD and the Pentagon apparently
created a secret government within the US government
that has no oversight or accountability. I would assume
it is this element of the US government that would have managed
the secret agreement with Germany. but I do not know
what the author says.]

OUTSTANDING Show Bonnie !!!
Max Keiser Nails It!
The Social Contract Has Been Broken, & unfortunately,
The Public, has now become, Enemy #1.
In Banker Occupied Territories.
