Keiser Report: ‘Oligarchic America’ (E1091)
[Este episodio en Español] The power of megacorporations has hit the all time high. Here is an info to think on: “Apple” Corp. has a $256.8 billion cash reserve, which is more than UK and Canada have, COMBINED! What do they use that cash for? To make their own legislature! Through the mechanism of International Agreements, like NAFTA, CEFTA, TPP or TTIP, they have bought a way of exemption from the US law – or any law!
But “Apple” is not alone. In this episode of the Keiser Report from Mexico City, Max and Stacy discuss the emergence of ‘oligarchic America’ as Amazon eats Whole Foods.

hey man, thanks. i always get behind on these.
You are welcome @alvinfang. These are true news, and people are entitled to know what is happening
Keiser has been laughed at for a long time by many people. But he has been spot on for a long time in my opinion. Obviously I dont agree with him on everything but he is an excellent source for opinions and news
He has a bit hysterical way of presenting news, but I can't find in his 8 year archive (here is an Episode 1 of “Keiser Report”) an opinion on banksters, oligarch and economic crisis mechanism that was not true. Thank you for your support, @rhader
What I love about him is that he has not lost the language of resistance. The oligarchy's control over the news and information has been eroding for years now due to the internet. Their power is declining. If/when the next global financial crisis happens, I do not think the oligarchy will be able to maintain power. I am investing in precious metals and crypto assests for years now. I am ready.
That is a crazy amount of money for one company. So much power in one hand. And if they ask for money people will with it for free.
There are many articles, like this, that explain how much it really cost to produce iPhone:
http://www.alphr.com/features/388273/how-much-does-an-iphone-cost-to-make
All comes around $210, making a profit on every iPhone over $400!
But I've once had an insider story about a real price of iPhone somewhere, and it said that the real price with all materials, and Chinese workers paid, is – a bit less than $24!
Unbelievable. What a margin. For sure, the most costs go into marketing, branding etc. Strange world.
