I have very good memories of this all
and I'm very glad that so many of you
have chosen to spend Valentine's night
here with me and Matt. We're real
romantics.
Saturday night Valentine's night in all
communities
[Applause]
is a very great community and this
community center a very big one and as I
say some great work happens here and
it's vital to the community and playing
host tonight to one of the most watched
and revered
television performers
But not about me.
No, seriously,
I just want to say a few words because
you get to hear me all the time and
especially in the next 85 or 86 days or
so. You're going to be hearing me every
single day. But you don't often get the
chance to hear Max Kaiser, at least not
in the flesh. though you can catch him
three times a week on RT. Uh Max is one
of the most uh viewed television
personalities in the entire world having
broadcast across the world for many
years on many platforms and I'll uh say
more about that in a moment. First of
all, I wanted to explain why I'm on a
walking stick. You'll recall in August I
was attacked by a man wearing Israeli
army uniform who's now spending 16
months in a cold prison cell.
The uh the bruises quickly healed, but
the back injury did not and recurs from
time to time and it's just my bad luck
that recover on Thursday night and so I
come up with a walking stick. But don't
be misled. It fires in fluids. It's a
James Bond walking stick. So if there
are any ill wishes, they all do bear
that uh in mind. It's been a tumultuous
few weeks for me, for respect for my
colleagues uh and for the Palestinian
cause which many of us hold dear. And I
just wanted to say a word about BBC
question time uh because it leads neatly
into Max Kaza and his personality. Many
of you will have seen question time a
week past Thursday in Finchley in the
London burough of Barnett
which is quite falsely described
as a Jewish area.
First of all, there are no Jewish areas
any more than there are Muslim areas.
There are no no go areas for any British
member of parliament. And if we were to
so declare Bradford uh as one of those
where no member of parliament that we
disagreed with could dare turn up for a
television broadcast. You can imagine
what the coverage would be. Secondly,
the London B
does have 16%
Jewish population but it has 14.5
Muslim population but there were no
visible Muslims in the audience of
question time and many did try to join
the audience which is a subject to which
we are giving some attention. Thirdly,
many Jewish people support us on
Palestine. Many Jews are not Zionists.
Most Jews are not Israelis. And most
Zionists are not Jews. And many of them
don't even like Jews. We love Jews. We
just hate Zionism. And we hate Israel.
And we're not going to be afraid to say
so on the BBC or anywhere else.
The fact that the BBC handled question
time in the way that they did is one of
the main reasons why RT is such a
valuable national resource. It's the
fastest growing television platform in
the entire world broadcasting in
English, in Russia, of course, in
Spanish, in Arabic. It is the most
watched television platform in the
world. And those who try to marginalize
it, who try to paint it as uh some kind
of Putin platform should know this that
there are far more people in this
country admire President Putin than
admire David Cameron or Barack Obama or
any of these other
inves
me and certainly not Matt what to say.
Nobody at RT has ever said to me. You
should say this or you're not allowed to
say that. That's for Max. Well, even his
own wife who's sitting next to him
doesn't know what he's going to say next
because he is a force of nature. And
what is his nature?
Max came from the world of high finance
in Wall Street. He knows these bankers,
bankers, I said, better than anybody
else in the world. He's not against the
capitalist system. He's just against
crooks pretending that they are the
capitalist system. is against bankers
who take us over a cliff by their
recklessness,
their greed, and in some cases their
criminality.
And he's against government that exists
only for the benefit of bankers and at
the expense of the many who are not
bankers. Max is that rarest of things.
An absolutely honest man who tells the
truth as he sees it. Who makes the call
that he thinks is the right call. And he
is, as you're about to find out, just
about the most eleant
individual that I have ever met. Yes.
All the way from New York City, the
great Max.
Thank you so much. Hello, Bradford.
Thanks to Lee.
So, I have to explain to you my my
knowledge of graduate league. It goes
back to uh when I first came here a
couple years ago, I met up with a fellow
who explained to me that I needed to
start following the Sheffield Wednesday
football club.
And I never heard of Sheffield
Wednesday. And I said, "Well, why should
I follow?" He said, "Because we hate
leagues."
So that's it. That's my total some
knowledge of uh of football in this
country. How's everybody doing? Are you
how are you feeling? What what's
happening? Are you are you politically
engaged? Are you are you present? Are
you here? Do you watch our tea? Do you
watch our show?
Are you Are you Do you know what we say
about the bankers? the bers. Yeah. Are
you repulsed and repulsed and nauseous?
I brought some vomit bags.
If you need to vomit
while we're talking about HSBC, let me
know. I'll come running over. You can
puke into one of these bags
and then send it to HSBC
and then use it to collateralize another
billion loans.
collateralized loan obligations
by HSBC. No, HSBC actually
like many institutions in this country,
banking institutions,
is technically insolvent.
They have really nothing on their books
of any resale value at all. What they
rely on to exist is bailouts and
handouts.
from the government. As a matter of
fact, I'm thinking about making a show
called Man Street
staring HSBC
Royal Scotland boys and partners.
They
rely so heavily now on these state
subsidies that the entire discipline of
economics
has been turned upside down. If you
listen to Mark K who runs the bank of
England, he warns
against what he calls
deflation.
And yet his cure for deflation
is to pump these zombie banks with more
free money. to keep these zombie bands
alive because they're technically small
without the free money
[Music]
and they go away
and
over and over again
[Applause]
is the nice thing to me experience
what's happening in Greece grace. We
finally said, "You know what? We've had
enough of Detroit. We've had enough of
the IMF. We've had enough of the EU.
We've had enough of banker imposed
terrorism, financial terrorism.
And they have put into government now
folks that are pushing back against
these institutions. And they're saying,
"Look, Greece, Gree, we're in Greece.
Stop trying to steal the state lottery.
Stop trying to steal the shipping lane,
the shipping business, the islands of
Greece to pay off debts that we never
are responsible for. You oppose them
from above. And to pay off these debts,
you're seizing our assets. You're
seizing the things we spent hundreds of
years building, thousands of years
developing. You're stealing them.
What did this remind you of?
They say this country is in debt.
Indeed. Of course, it has a lot of debt
and the government's opposing austerity.
What are they stealing this country? The
NHS,
the transportation system, the education
system. Things that you built over the
decades with your blood, sweat, and
tears. Good income producing assets.
They're being sold out from under other
under other under you to pay death that
you not create. They were created by
these bankers amongst themselves to keep
alive these zombie institutions, banks
that are technically solid. HSBC is
technically solid. If you were to go to
market, try to sell the market, go to
eBay and put HSBC up for sale and learn
to market every single one of their
files on their books. So what it could
really be sold for, not the nonsense
that they say they're for, but what they
can really be sold for, you would be
getting exactly zero, nothing, none.
It's worth nothing as of the other three
major banks in this country. You know,
the one of the problems in a country
like Britain with so many clever bankers
is that if you do put some in jail, they
simply buy the bank and walk.
They just leverage the bank and they
walk out. That's one of the problems.
Uh speaking of austerity, speaking of uh
how uh this country crams down your
throat propaganda that austerity is
normal and perfectly acceptable. This
was from the times
came out with this story not long ago.
It starts off with a very pleasing
helpful
headline.
Short of cash question mark.
Well, the Austral
scientist claim is the cheapest lunch in
Britain. It consists of two slices of
bread surrounding a filling of another
slice of bread.
Cost is 7 and 12.
This has been a times in London
explaining how you can get your way
through the hard times of almost
austerity. But let's change gears for a
second and talk about what's happening
in the US because I know that in this
community
uh there's a lot of pressure that's
coming down from
the media, from the politicians who I
think are unfairly characterizing this
community in a very negative light.
And um I was amazed recently and I'm
curious what you think about this. I
don't know if you've been following some
of the media in the United States,
but um and I too have been following
George's career quite closely and I was
quite shocked at some of the recent
episodes where he's encountered actual
physical violence. Um, in recently on
the very popular Fox News in the United
States,
there was a prime time episode in which
their
lead presenter, a woman named Judge
Janine Kira,
said, quote, "We need to kill them."
This is what she said on Fox News at
Prime Time. Fox News Judge Jireine Firo
speaks outrage
with unhinged or an unhinged rant about
quote Muslim terrorists.
She goes on to say, "We need to kill
them. We need to kill them. The radical
Muslim terrorists held in on killing us.
You're in danger. I'm in danger. We're
at war. And this is not going to stop."
This was on January 13th.
On February 11th,
this is the recent past. This is really
happening in real time. February 11th,
three Muslim students shot dead near
University of North Carolina Chapel
Hill. Police investigating Steven Hicks
for what they believe to be an a
motivated crime. So here Fox News openly
soliciting
to kill people. very short time
thereafter,
three students, Muslim students are
murdered. That was the response by the
media in in the in America just 2 days
later.
CBS television runs a special report on
quote how to safely find a parking spot
after three students murdered by Craig
Hicks in an apparent dispute over
parking spots.
police dismiss the idea that there was
any realistic worth involved.
So this is in my view
part of
what the struggle is about in terms of
how
the United States economy, which is in
itself a Ponzi scheme that only
functions
in the capacity to wage war,
is looking to wage war in any way that
they can. And the media is so captive
and so
managed and censored that CBS television
news, home of Walter Crocker,
considering the standard bearer of news
in America, was saying 2 days after
three people were murdered in what is
obviously a religiously motivated hate
crime at the behest of Fox News, which
characterized this as an episode of a
That to me goes beyond
being nearly irresponsible. That that to
me means that there truly is
a a conflict and and tension and and
we're on a a serious path toward uh
needing to resolve
these issues. But in my view, ladies and
gentlemen, in my view, it does come back
to the economics, what I would call the
economics of hatred.
Because in the United States, economics
of hatred pays. And this is carried over
into the United Kingdom.
Hatred is the fastest way to make money.
Fear is the fastest way to make money. I
know from working on Wall Street for
many years that it's much easier to get
somebody to motivate them to sell in
panic out of fear and then commission
than to get somebody to buy something
out of faith that they're going to be
wealthier and have that hope. Hope never
makes as much money as fear. That's why
on events like the 1987 stock market
crash or other like events, stock
brokers make out like bands because that
kind of sudden influx of panic and fear
drives all kinds of markets to extremes.
And this is where the professionals on
the inside are making most of their
money. So there's a motivation to create
chaos. There's a motivation to create
fear because it's profitable. And that's
the economics of hatred and the
economics of fear. And that's what I see
in this current coalition government.
That's what I see in all the parties in
the UK is that they're pushing this
economics of fear. They don't want
people to take a step back and think,
you know what, maybe it doesn't make
sense that interest rates are being
driven to zero. I did nothing on my
pension returns. I have no savings. I'm
being panicked into participating in all
manner of schemes and buyouts and letter
buyouts and restructurings that make no
economic sense whatsoever. The costs for
me are going up. If the government and
Mark Card is saying the problem is
deflation, can I let me by a show of
hands in this room? How many are
experiencing prices
uh that are deflating going down at the
end of the month? Are prices that you're
charging the grocery bill? Are you are
are your costs or your monthly expenses
are they going are they going down by
show or are they going up?
Well, so what do they mean when they say
that there's deflation?
Well, there's deflation on the balance
sheet of these banks with their bonds
are collapsing because they're worthless
and it requires them to print lots of
money to bail out these banks. And oh,
by the way, there's a correlary to that
and that is that your purchasing power
for your British pound that goes down
and wages
of course are not going up. Wages are
flat and wages are going down.
Uh so when you add that all together,
you end up with lower and lower living
standards and more tension. And to shift
blame from the bankers who are
engineering this financial nightmare,
they stir racial hatred and fear and
they do it in the US and they do it
here.
But at the root of it all is uh this
need to keep alive
a system which has essentially died is a
corpse
and the only way to cure this problem is
to do what Iceland has done is to simply
let the bad banks die. Put bankers in
jail. protector of deposits, of course,
open up some banks that are not run by
crooks and allow the banking structure
to exist in a genuine
as to what bankers should do. It was
recently quoted a banker said that
he didn't care that his depositors were
not making any money on their deposits.
He said, "Quite frankly, we don't need
depositors."
The same banker said, "Well, we can't
make loans to creative businesses
because we need to service our debt on
our balance sheet." So, these banks are
not making loans and they're not paying
on your deposits.
So, if the bank's not paying any money
on deposits, they're not making loans.
What is that bank doing? The definition
of a bank is that it makes loans and pay
deposits. That's what a bank does. If it
doesn't, it's not a bank.
And what is it? It's a it's a parasite.
It's it's an institution that's held
only your government hostage. And if the
government deregulated back, it'll crash
the economy. It'll crash the markets.
You're being held hostage by
psychopaths.
Uh, I'll give you proof. This is from a
Wall Street Journal article I read in
2005,
which I and I keep with me. It's very
telling. It's called Lessons from the
Brain Damaged Investor.
The UK invest investment banker says
at one major investment bank in which I
worked, we use psychometric testing to
recruit psychopaths
because they're
the characteristics exactly suited the
senior corporate finance roles.
Why? Why is that? Why would they recruit
psychopaths to be in a bank to manage
money? Because if you're a psychopath,
you lack something very key. It's called
empathy.
And if you had empathy and you worked at
the bank, would you be doing what the
head of HSBC is doing? ripping financing
Mexican drug cartels, ripping off the
tax system. Um, no, because he has some
empathy, but empathy is stripped away.
Uh, this was part of a story about
Robert Bales, a US soldier suspected of
an Afghan massacre of 16 civilians whose
previous job was a stock.
Uh just like what happens when you
recruit mad men in the field uh they
have a habit of sometimes fighting
against you. The same thing
uh can happen in the world of business
and finance. If you hire psychopaths
because you know that they will perform
ungodly acts of of uh ripping people
off, destroying the system and and
psychotic acts of financial terrorism.
They can they can they can come back at
you and and you can it can harm you. One
one of the biggest the strongest
examples of how of what happens when you
allow somebody who's got the
psychopathic demeanor of a banker in
office. I refer to this to the story of
Tony Blair
who I would say is the prototypical
stock broker turn psychopathic political
leader
and I I've I've told this story a few
times. I think it's one of the most
disturbing stories in recent British
history. But uh Tony Blair was in office
during a time when the British a case
was being investigated for a major
problem. They had a 200 million pound
slush fund that they were using uh to
launder money back and forth
uh between uh you know this huge deal
was being done between Britain and uh
and and Saudi Arabia. And um
the the Financial Times did a very
powerful expose of this. Um they were
being investigated by the slush fund and
apparently Vandar Vandar told Tony Blair
while he was in office that if the
serious fraud office did not call the
investigation in the slush that he could
not guarantee another 77 like bus filing
wouldn't happen in London.
Think about that for a second. This of
course uh was after
911. a sitting prime minister being
threatened with an act of terror. And
what does Tony do?
Um
he of course does not. Uh and this the
serious fraud office of course does not.
Uh the regulators in this country do
nothing. Uh they are completely captured
by the banks. uh and you're seeing this
now with HSP scandals and many other
scandals that uh there's absolutely no
push back by the regulators.
Occasionally though. Occasionally
though,
[Applause]
you do see small acts of protest.
Um, here's a headline. That's the wrong
kind of deposit.
A barbecue bank customer poops all over
the floor.
A middle-aged man described as a
wellto-d do walked confidently to the
branch of Barbies and started leaving
nonmonetary deposits on the floor
in front of our spy customers.
One eyewitness said the man was calm and
angry
as he made his mess today.
Small acts of defiance.
So it sometimes lead to to to more
organized and and and bigger push back
and we do have seen that in Iceland and
I think Greece is a major turning point
in this uh banking recent history of the
tension between the uh the have nots and
the have yachts.
uh how how would I uh boil this all down
to to to one equation if you will one
one point and I think
this this quote from Warren Buffett
who's one of the richest guys in the
world says it nicely he says
there is class warfare all right but
it's my class the rich class that's
making war and we're
And that's pretty much what I think is a
good way to look at in the world from
this point of view. There's a war going
on. It's a class war, but it's coming
from the top and it's attacking the
bottom. Now, how do the rich wage class
war against the poor? And if you think
about it, when it's the poor waging
class war against the rich, famously the
French Revolution,
you had decapitation.
That was the centerpiece of the reign of
terror and the end of nobility in that
era. When it's the rich going after the
poor, it's de capitalization.
Decapation.
Any way this class can decapize you, can
remove your economic sovereignty,
they will.
Mostly it comes from increasing
debt.
The more that you increase that, the
more you lose your economic freedom,
your economic sovereignty, your voice.
And um
for example, in Britain,
Britain pays every week
one billion pounds
of interest on the debt. Just the
interest cost on Britain's
1.6
trillion pounds of debts to be2 trillion
pounds of debt works out to a billion
pounds a week. That's not money that's
going into the NHS. That's not money
that's going into education.
Infrastructure. It's going into debt
service. Why is the country in so much
debt? Is it because the economy is
growing? Well, not really. Um, is the
economy generating highpaying jobs, wage
growth? No. The economy is producing
debt. It's producing incredible amounts
of debt, as is the US economy. Historic
amounts of debt. The total world
indebtedness over the past since 2007
has increased by 57 trillion.
It now stands at $199 trillion.
the world's debt load. So just in the
past seven or eight years, the world has
gone from trading at 240%
debt to GDP to almost 300%
debt to GDP. The debt is skyrocketing
because debt is how
this rich class as Warren Buffett
explains it can decapize
everybody else. How come during the last
7 years during a period when GDP and
wages and the economy for everybody was
basically flat to down did the top
generate profits and wealth gains of 300
400 500%.
How is that possible? Because they're
the ones that get fees on the debt.
They they make the fees. What do you do
with your fee? He just sold a 20 billion
pound charge of debt to the the
government to fund some cockaman scheme
in the Middle East to blow up people.
Well, you know, you're going to buy a
slab of London for 20 million.
You're going to buy a wall for £100
million.
That's fees on debt, not fees on
generating jobs, fees on generating
growth, fees on generating life.
improvements to speed on generating debt
on top of debt service for debt and this
government says well we're not talking
about slap on the wrist partly slap on
the wrist parties had a group within the
bank called the global structuring group
whose job was to find their own
customers who were straddling the line
of bankruptcy push them over the edge
push into bankruptcy and then buy the
assets and pay some dollar and sell it
to another division
[Applause]
That's your man
attacking your company with your job
with your money.
What the solution from the government?
Well, here's a great solution. Because
all this debt looks about as appealing
as the man of Barkley's bank who soiled
the floor.
The government is trying to find out how
to improve GDP somehow. We got to make
the GDP look bigger so that uh this debt
that is growing catastrophically looks
smaller. So what has the government done
recently?
There's probably 10,000 guys exactly
like Tony Blair. They're equally funded.
They're equally without morals or
ethics. They're equally dangerous.
They're equally ehmaniacal.
and they're out there just screwing
everything so badly, so immersively
because in this country which has become
I guess
one of one of the big points here is
that the United Kingdom has some have
described it as necessig
[Music]
Bernie Maidoff Lehman Brothers JP Morgan
and they all have had the majority of
their activities come through London
because London has the easiest
regulations in the world. Criminal
banksters shop their fraud in London
because it's the best place to commit
financial fraud. And this point again is
not is not unknown.
Um many many people have made have made
a note of this and um just to point out
that these folks are not exactly taking
your plane or my plane uh in in a way
that's uh making them lose any sleep. Uh
the makers of Monopoly, anyone here play
Monopolies again? Yeah. Pastro they they
have a new addition. They replaced the
fake money with real cash
in some sets. Meaning the lucky these uh
each each
uh set comes with 20,580
euros. So it's the perfect Valentine's
gift for that special someone
that you want in your life instead of
Monopoly actual money. So they're not
exactly hiding hiding all this that
they're doing. The the the number of
crimes that these banks have committed.
I have I could I could mention, you
know, hundred of them, but I think you
get the basic the basic point. And I
think George wanted me to get into a bit
of a Q&A. But before I turn it over back
to George, I just want to review a
couple of quotes that I have collected
over the years that I think are
pertinent in these times.
uh in 1790,
John Lockach, one of the architects, if
you will, of the enlightenment, when the
social contract is broken, the people
must revolt.
And that's what the people of Iceland
and Greece are doing. And clearly, the
social contract is broken. When HSBC or
Barclays or RBS says technically we're
not breaking the law, the response is
you've broken the social contract. You
do what you do because of what our law
in putting you in that position as part
of this social contract between the
governed and the governors. When you
break when it's broken,
you must revolt. That's what the
architects of the the Constitution of
the United States, the Bill of Rights,
the Declaration of Independence,
the thinkers of
in this country, Adam Smith, part of the
Enlightenment, who understood how to
build an economy where the risks are
spread out.
They understand that it's based on on a
promise between two parties. And if that
party if it it was destroyed, there's no
excuse that these bankers can make at
this point that would preclude
a a major uprising. Um Mark Carney,
Bank of England governor, said jailing
bankers will not fix bad behavior.
That's an appalling statement. You know
why why don't we apply that to everybody
in the society? If I go steal, you know,
some Lucas Egg at the corner shop, you
know, um I don't if I say I don't think
putting me in jail is going to cure my
bad behavior. Is that is that sufficient
uh defense? But here it is, the governor
of the the Bank of England making that
claim. Um
Larry Summers of course Bill Black who's
one of the most famous regulators in the
world said that London is a financial
regulatory cesspit. Paul Moore formerly
of H boss said that London is the center
of a financial holocaust. He made this
remark on my show of describing 100
million people thrust into abject
poverty due to the crimes of banking
elite.
How many of those people are going to be
dead? millions and millions. So his his
remarks, I believe, are well are well
founded.
And um with that, George, I mean, I
think I've covered the gamma and we can
go to a Q&A if that's okay. What do you
think?
A few things. All of this criminality
began
and most of it happened when we had a
so-called Labor government in power.
All of it.
That's why
it's so easy for David Cameron to answer
the attack which Ed Milliban is now
making and which I support.
All that Cameron has to say, for
example, on the HSBC issue
is that every single one of these crimes
that you are talking about took place
when you were in Ghana.
Tony Blair and Gordon Brown
boasted of the extent to which they made
London the crime capital, the financial
crime capital of the world.
One of the biggest criminal outfits is
called Goldman Sachs.
You remember them? One of their
directors was so rich that he didn't
notice his personal secretary stealing
2.3 million from his personal bank
account. She was coming to her work in a
yacht.
I'm not making that up. She was birthing
it in St. Catherine's stock at the Tower
of Mother. She was walking around all
day jangling her jewelry and he didn't
know that she paid for all out of his
bank account using his checks.
player and Brown together boasted at a
Christmas Eve suare in Goldman Sachs
that every single partner present was
paying less in income tax under them
than they had been paying under Margaret
Thatcher. Gordon Brown described just
before the crash the era we were living
in as a golden era where we were
building up all this debt and allowing
through deregulation
and light touch regulation.
We were building up to the crash of
2008.
And when the banks collapsed,
Alistister Darling,
a former Trosky act,
rose
in the House of Commons to explain how
it is that we were going to bail out
these banks to the tune of hundreds of
billions of pounds without taking a seat
on a single one of the banks that we
were now bailing out. He said, "I don't
and I have never believed," he said, "in
governments having seats on the
boardroom in the boardroom of private
banks.
I did rise and point out that when he
had been a dropker, he very definitely
did advocate governments having seats,
all the seats in these boardrooms.
But the point is they were no longer
private banks. They had been saved by
the taxpayer but allowed to be run by
the people who had bankrupted them in
the first place. And that remains the
case today
7 years later.
So, as I always say, especially here in
Bradford,
if you send the same donkeys back to
power, don't expect them to do anything
differently.
Einstein said the definition of madness
was doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting a different result.
If you send donkeys to the town hall to
Westminster,
don't expect them to do anything other
than what donkeys do, which is put their
noses in the nose bag and eat their way
through the next 5 years.
So in a democracy, you get the
politicians
that you don't necessarily deserve, but
you definitely get the politicians that
you vote for.
And when you know what they have done to
our country and other countries, you'd
have to be mad to send them back again
to do it all over again. Okay, questions
to Max Gaza. Yes, the lady at the door
with the fabulous Ronet Bun.
Gentlemen, my name is
a question that I'd like you to answer,
please. Your thoughts on the media and
the film industry um who are
dehumanizing the Muslims, the public
against Muslims. I'd like to know what
your thoughts are as a proud British.
Well, Max uh touched on this and I'll
let him answer it substantially,
but I would just as a precursor to what
he'll have to say.
Nothing
could crystallize
this sense of rage and injustice
that the questioner feels more than the
media coverage of the murders of the man
and his wife of six weeks and her sister
in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The BBC
did not report that mother at all.
Sky reported it 5 and 1/2 hours after
the independent newspaper had broken the
story in Britain. And ever since, every
effort has been made to portray this as
other than what it obviously is. The
coldblooded execution of three young
American Muslims by a politically
motivated killer operating out of a well
of hate. The meest glance at his
Facebook page shows you his hatred for
religion and religious people. Yet, even
until now, after the three victims have
been buried, it is still not being
called what it obviously is. And ask
yourself this,
if three Jews or three Christians had
been murdered on their knees in a cold
bloodooded execution by a Muslim killer,
would this have been being described at
the top of the news as a terrorist act?
And everybody knows that's exactly what
would be described as. Max
Well, 240 years ago or so, Americans
were the terrorists
according to uh this country
and uh we staged revolts
and to me the Muslim population is being
scapegoat essentially. you know, they're
and you know, growing up as I as I have
in the United States,
um, in in New York in having worked in
Hollywood, you know, I'm I'm familiar
with the narrative
of the struggle of the Jewish faith to
seek the homeland and they they've come
to America and they this is a fantastic
story. Uh, and there's always that
question that people have. It's nagging
this group for many, many years,
hundreds of years. This question that
comes up with the phrase, how did it
happen?
How did it happen? The these these
atrocities and these things going back
to the middle of the last century. How
did it happen?
And and some will say
there wasn't enough fighting back. There
wasn't enough fighting back. It was the,
you know, the story of the the frog in
in in the in the water, the boiling
water. It gets a little warmer, a little
warmer, uh, and then before the frog
knows it, the frog is cooked. And the
history as we go back to the last
century, it's a horrific, horrific
story. Uh, that was over time, gradually
to the point of that extraordinarily
uh, heinous
uh, midentury
uh, of events. But as an American who
was once considered a terrorist 240
years ago,
we have gone recently fought back.
So um I just as as a scapegoat as a
scapegoated portion of the population
are we to imagine a story of
acquiescence?
of complete loss.
Is that is that what we are? I I don't I
can only speak as an American. That
doesn't make that doesn't truck with me.
That doesn't make sense to me.
Uh
but other but that's all I will say
because I don't that's all I will say.
You can you folks can fill in the the
rest of the story if you if that's okay.
Thank you Max. Thank you.
George was against Scottish
independence. Max was for Scottish
independence.
Did the Scottish people make the right
decision?
Well, they made the decision that they
made and it was theirs to make. It was
self-determination.
are people deciding by parasite on
whether to stay with the state that they
were in or leave that state. It's a pity
Kashmir didn't get the same right as
Scotland did,
especially
as it was promised it by the United
Nations well over half a century ago.
If Kashmir did get that letter, I have
no idea how they would vote. Whether
they vote to stay with India, vote to be
independent, vote to join Pakistan. What
I do know is that it's only their
decision to make, not anybody else's.
And the same was true for Scotland.
I as a Scottish person did not have a
vote
which I think was a little unfair and so
do millions of Scottish people who live
outside Scotland but that's another
matter. They voted how they voted and
I'll tell you as a representative of a
povertystricken part of a poor city in
the north of England. I'm sure glad that
they decided to stay. For this reason,
if Scotland had left Britain, England
would have a Tory government for all
time. And if England had a Tory
government for all time, Bradford would
be as well packing his suitcase and
leaving for somewhere else. Not that I'm
expecting Ed Milliband to be any kind of
great Labor prime minister, but any
Labor Prime Minister is better than any
Tory prime minister so far in this
country, not the border or non-existent
border between England and Scotland. Are
you insisting oil? Quick example to that
is if you're talking about splitting up
the oil, Georgia, let's talk about
splitting up the debt as all the debt
turned the city of London and those in
Scotland. How about if they will split
the oil accordingly, but you know all
the debt can stay in Westminster. How
about that? 10 billion pounds away in
debt. If it did stay in Westminster,
that would be fighting, but it would
stay in Bradford West, not in
Westminster. And that's our problem. The
gentleman right at the back of the hall.
Yes. with the white shirt. Go ahead son.
Perhaps I would like your view on global
debt facility which is being ramped
around and there is huge amounts of gold
which was collected over the centuries
by the royal kings of Americans which is
not within the system. to have any views
on that particular angle. What was your
name, sir? You get the question of the
night award. Big round of applause.
He's a good
there. There he is. He's a good
He can't even walk. We should have this
one.
Now you have to have gold. And of course
there was a point time
and they sold 60% of it 400 times. Who
did that? Gordon Brown.
If you see Scotland, tell them you don't
like that either. Okay. So yeah, the
gold as you see sovereigns around the
world and central banks around the world
for the first time in 50 years are
buying record amounts of gold because
they realize that this paper ponzi
scheme from the city of London and Wall
Street is on its last legs and we will
once again return to an economy, a
global economy that is settled in gold.
And this is something for you all to
keep in mind. I don't make financial
recommendations or advice. I'm not here
to do that. But at the end of the month,
if you got a few quid, instead of going
down, you know, buying an extra sandwich
or whatever, buy yourself a little gold
and silver and just accumulate over
time. One year, 5 year, 10 years, you'll
be happy you did. Yes.
[Applause]
