Did The Lord Say To Be A Greedy A$$hole?

contributor Lee Camp

Are being rich and Christian mutually exclusive?  I did the research so you wouldn't have to.  I'm not usually into Bible quotes, but you have to hear these!

Max Keiser at SPIEF 2012 - Why He's The Most Dangerous In Financial Media

TRC editor/contributor Gabrielle Price

"While other news personalities report on the Greek riots from the shelter of a luxury hotel's rooftop, Max and Stacy are down in the square with flak jackets, gas masks and a camera rolling despite the bedlam taking place all around them.  When other pundits lament the lack of regulation, Max and Stacy call for the bank executives' heads to roll.  No one speaks with more candor and no one speaks with more courage on behalf of all of us - the victims of the most infamous unpunished heist in world history."  ~  excerpt from The 25 Most Dangerous People in Financial Media by Huffington Post's Joshua M. Brown, author of Backstage Wall Street

Max Keiser and The Keiser Report on RT was voted number one on this list. There's a reason Hillary Clinton is worried about the US 'losing the information war', and named RT as one thorn in their side. Her testimony was chilling during a time when Occupy was just getting started and the message it sent was a signal to all of us in free press. Hillary's words were, by proxy, the words of this administration and proved to be brazenly unpatriotic and servile to the interests of the 1%.

This clip of Max at SPIEF 2012: European Crossroads highlights exactly why the man makes the elite writhe in their chairs.  The truth hurts and Max delivers it with relaxed, scathing precision and a good dose of humor at the incredulous ponzi scheme that everyone seems to know about from free press sources -- but the US media never covers.

It's important to note that most of the guests on The Keiser Report are ignored to the extent of virtually being banned from mainstream media. The fact is, this man gives those voices space to present viewpoints that we would never see on CNBC or CNN Money.  It is exciting to watch Max get the opportunity to challenge junk economics in this open forum and in neutral territory.

You don't even need to understand the details of this global crisis.  In fact, most of the details are only there to confuse the public and steer the conversation away from reasonable discourse and more importantly, full disclosure.  That is where Max shines out for the rest of us.


The Refreshment Center applauds Max Keiser and RT.

Chris Hedges - Live in Los Angeles / Part Three

A film by Michael Sosebee for Occupy

submitted by Gabrielle Price

On June 28, 2012 Chris Hedges gave an historic talk to a sold-out audience at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, in Los Angeles, California.  In this final installment, Chris talks about the struggles of the working class and poor of America who are losing unemployment benefits, their homes and food stamps.  He speaks about grassroots movements, his arrest in DC, the birth of Occupy, their demands and his successful law suit against President Obama's unconstitutional NDAA law.

My personal thanks to Michael Sosebee for sharing this beautifully filmed footage with TRC and I applaud him for his integrity in gifting Chris's important words and historical message to Occupy and its supporters.

Chris Hedges - Live in Los Angeles / Part Two

A film by Michael Sosebee

submitted by Gabrielle Price 

On June 28, 2012 Chris Hedges gave an historic talk to a sold-out audience at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, in Los Angeles, California.  In part two, Chris talks about his new book collaboration with graphic artist Joe Sacco, "Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt".  Chris shares how he and Joe traveled to the most depressed pockets of the United States to combine narrative nonfiction with graphic art.  From the streets of Camden, New Jersey, the devastated coal fields of West Virginia, the Lakota reservation of Pine Ridge, South Dakota, Chris discusses the view of existence when the marketplace rules and the outcome of corporate capitalism when it is unregulated and unfettered.

A moving discussion which questions a corporate-created society that has lost the capacity for the sacred.

Chris Hedges - Live in Los Angeles / Part One

A film by Michael Sosebee
submitted by Gabrielle Price

On June 28, 2012 Chris Hedges gave an historic talk to a sold-out audience at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, in Los Angeles, California.  In part one, Chris begins by discussing his father's impact on his career and integrity, then on to speak about the populist movements and writing of early journalists, propaganda and how it has historically seduced the public into war in the US.  He explains how this led to the decline of the liberal class and the birth of consumerism.


Michael is working on editing the second and third parts of this great interview and we will share them as soon as they arrive.
