Max Keiser and co-host Stacy Herbert this week look at how propaganda shapes political and economic outcomes in our economies. They report on Americans collecting government social welfare benefits without knowing it and US Congressman taking financial bets against its government debt. And, finally, Max and Stacy suggest that if British teenagers are being extradited to America on copyright infringement, then George Michael ought to have a case against Rupert Murdoch under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act as well.

It is amusing to me that the most truth I have ever seen spoken from a mainstream source is a Russian centered one. I live in heartland of the United States, and the compliance and ignorance to the propaganda of the population is something that I have noticed for a long time. However, within the rural area that I live there are many ACTUAL rugged individuals that have worked hard for everything they have, and reject any entitlements from the government. The reason why most people just go with the flow, because they know that if they open there eyes to the dire state of of country, nay the world, they will have to forfeit the lives the have built and FIGHT. In order to right the many wrongs that have crept up on us, the way of life we have grown to love must be destroyed. There will come a tipping point though, when the people must consciously decide whether they will be a population enslaved by the banking cartels, or be the real men they have thought they were all their lives. All we want is to be left alone so we can live our lives, worship our God, and grow our families. We believe in the free market, because we have seen it work, but it is hard to accept that outside our small communities the market is not free, because the government has crept so insidiously into our lives that to practice what we know is right would require fighting a battle that seems impossible to win.
Hi Max and Stacy, thanks for taking an interest in my battered coutry. Yes Berlusconi is an old, ugly, bufoon, and believe me, half italians (or a little bit less than half) want to see him out - some want to see him hanged, but that's a bit extreme - the problem is that we are powerless and misinformed.
Unlike most western countries, Italy never had a revolution. In order to have one, the country should be united against a common enemy, but it isn't and never will be. After all "divide and conquer" was the roman motto, and that's what our politicians still use. We have an openly racist party in the government (lega nord) which calls for secession! What hope is there for a country which allows that?
Most young italians can count on their parents' (little) wealth, and are so afraid to lose what they have, that they put up with everyday corruption and inefficiency.
The opposition is too weak and framented.
We don't know what to do. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Alex Moyer. Well put.
Really enjoy this show too.
