Keiser Report - Golden Guns and Yes Men

Dec 1, 2012 by

In this episode, Max Keiser urges "Sami don't pay," challenges the anti-anti-fragile Nassim Taleb to a black swan event and coins a new phrase, 'insectual,' to describe the increasing insect like behavior of humans online and in markets. Keiser and Stacy Herbert also discuss GATA getting attention in Austria where the central bank is haplessly looking for its alleged gold.

In the second half, Max Keiser talks to Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men about their new film, The Yes Men are Revolting and about Action Switchboard and the war against anti-corporate activism.
