The Big Banks as Financial Terrorist

Here is a report by Max Keiser.

At 14:00 into the video, Keiser interviews Michael Hudson. Hudson is concerns that the EU is being fun by a financial oligarchy that is instituting a "neo-feudalism" in Europe:
Michael Hudson (born in 1939, Chicago, Illinois, USA) is research professor of Economics at University of Missouri, Kansas City (UMKC) and a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College. He is also a Wall Street analyst and consultant as well as president of The Institute for the Study of Long-term Economic Trends (ISLET) and a founding member of International Scholars Conference on Ancient Near Eastern Economies (ISCANEE).




I chuckle at 2:00 into the video when he calls "banks as terrorists".

I like the bit at 12:00 into the video when he calls the US a "baboon petting zoo".

Max Keiser is over the top in his show, but there is an element of truth in what he is saying. I fully expect you will get more and more crazy populists and more extreme views the longer the current economic crisis is allowed to drag on.

Yeah calling them economic terrorists might be a bit over the top. Terrorists have actual values. They just want to make money- motivation means something.
