Max kaiser former go go dancer now internationally acclaimed bitcoin expert. Max there is other stuff happening in the world besides cryptocurrency in the wild wild wild ride of big coing and all the other all the queens and i suppose and tokens and everything you can think of so im going to look a little bit at some of these stories because tomorrow the you is presenting reports about extreme poverty in the u. S. This is a pretty big story it would be it would have been bigger had all this other stuff in the world not been happening so why the u. N. Is investigating extreme poverty in america the worlds richest nation the United Nations monitor on extreme poverty and human rights as embarks on a coast to coast tour of the u. S. To hold the worlds richest nation and its president to account for the hardships endured by americas most vulnerable citizens this is the un special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights philip alson you can do a crosscountry tour he went to california to look at all the homeless and there you see extreme homelessness and california West Virginia puerto rico and the deep south and he he was looking he and investigating whether or not this is a human rights issue whether or not these people are being denied their human rights and hes supposed to be presenting report in d. C. Right that hepatitis a break. In. San diego we have hookworm in the deep south yes these are these could be Public Health epidemics that spread to other people who are you know not marginalized this is the problem with you know were in Medieval Times remember during Medieval Times and in europe we had the black plague everybody died but now we have a similar sort of situation of People Living in open sewers the problem is as weve been saying the economy is not representational of all the various interests that make of this society in which we live the workers are not represented the folks with opposing views to power are disenfranchised and we have emerging medio feudalism and you can have neo feudalism with permanent underclass poverty stricken hepatitis stricken warm stricken you use the same word twice stricken yeah you need to go to different if youre going to be of what i like that alliteration and kind of going on you know yeah but in real dylan emphasizing things learned from my antecedents in the black poetry space with Martin Luther king and malcolm x. Iran and iran to say the same word because thats the way it is when you live in a town throwing down like it is because youre poor you know when i lived of town there was a friend famous saying that there are no laws so people have to be honest you know im saying by the way it is in exile he said im going back to my point yes ok there is no as Margaret Thatcher said there is no society. You know she was right when you give all the power to prove your mind. And then allocate your money to a group of kleptocrats who runs Central Banks they will all more of the money and they will create the real feudalism which is what we did so that the u. N. Can go to the u. N. Right now and i can summarize this report in one minute stop mail feudalism how do you do that well in the past in history theres been the solution of the insurrection thats been the solution so this situation this the un special rapporteur traveling across america looking at extreme poverty america the richest nation on earth they tell us over and over of where the richest nation on earth so the u. S. Poses an especially challenging subject for the un special rapporteur because unlike all other industrialized nations if fails to recognize fundamental social and economic rights such as the rights to health care a roof over your head or food to keep hunger at bay the federal government has consistently refused to sign up to the International Covenant on economic social and cultural rights arguing that these are matters best left to the individual states so as you say we have extreme poverty we have it in the south we cover that recently with the hook when we have it in san diego where we have hepatitis a outbreaks you see these mass homeless problems across the entire west coast of America Seattle washington Washington State portland we have San Francisco san jose all over the west coast you see mass homelessness big tent cities and stuff like that so you know the other thing that you often see in the media here is that they break to other nations for not taking care of their people for we invade countries to spread human rights and yet this u. N. Special operator is suggesting that the assessment tomorrow is going to be that there are no human rights for poor people in america oh oh. Hypocrite oh oh oh oh well you know people think understand that america doesnt invade countries to spread democracy they invade countries using the money that they print so it doesnt cost anybody any real. The warmongers the pentagon the riches the zip codes in america or around washington d. C. And the central bank theyre not using their own money they dont send their own kids there sit there there are sadists theres sadists and they if they were given an opportunity they would throw kids into the mouth of a volcano on television if they thought if they could make a buck. Going to hollywood its autumn and go more and what god has done to hollywood take on it to the ground so rightfully so you know washington d. C. And new york are all over the Mainstream Media comes from they will all be in agreement all be in agreement that venezuela that they have no human rights that these people are horrible and you know look at this poor venezuelans without looking at their own backyard as the u. N. Special operator will likely say so i want to turn to another venezuelan story which is really quite fascinating it got overlooked in all the again the chaos of the drew some story the big coins story the futures story. Tweeting stories desperate venezuelans turn to video games to survive the crisis wracked venezuela has become Fertile Ground for whats known as gold farming people spend hours a day playing dated online games such as tibia and rune scape to acquire virtual gold game points or special characters that can sell to their players for real money or crypto currency such as big coin the practice which was previously cropped up in other basket case economy such as north korea has become so popular with van. As well that they are now spreading inflation outside the Virtual Worlds so theyre making so much money in these virtual games but the reason why the venezuelans are going to these old games which ive never even heard of im not a gamer but tibia and rune scape is that their Internet Connections are slow so when looking at places like alabama where they also have slow Internet Connections or south dakota or north dakota or tent city and slow Internet Connections here you can go to online get in these games virtually games. Because they dont use as much graphics as these new war world of warcraft and all that sort of new games but hamstrung by shaky Internet Connections and outdated hardware then as well as gold farmers have gravitated to Old School Games that have low system requirements and established communities of players william and tara twenty three took to questing full time in his favorite child the title to be seven months ago before that he had been struggling to make ends meet as a bricklayer in a Government Housing program it was the work of a donkey and a barely paid for breakfast he recalled as he had to haul sacks of cement up slum stairwells now he spends his days leading a brand of heroes through a medieval world smite ing poorly rendered monsters medieval world. Again in Virtual Reality but this is the casino. That ive warned about we talked about this years ago before big climb became really big were talking about farmville member that old farm bill and these games are from the one nine hundred ninety s. During the first dotcom boom when i create the Hollywood Stock Exchange and im quite familiar with the gold farming thats done through gaming my friend brock pierce as a matter of share was huge in the space hes still huge right hes farming out in the space in this all industry now hes huge in the crypto space and you know brock and i have this common past going back to the dot com broadcaster growing body so it was the casino google eggs in other words to get the telephony. From a big old gobblers like for risin or comcast you know theyll charge a forty dollars a month to have access to go in there and play these old games to pay your phone bill and then hopefully youll make another ten bucks to buy a ham sandwich you know to stay alive another day to pay your phone bill another day so this is the big lie koa cast is is a ghetto provoking monstrosity that has the arm of n. B. C. To put out fake news to cover their tracks as a casino gulo prevent or certainly this guy this twenty three year old guy finds it like that he earns more money sitting there and playing these games then carrying huge sacks of cement on his back through stairwells so perhaps its better to be in this casino gulag then to be out in the real world clear once they manage to get on to me was collapsed in venezuela by the interest of foreign Oil Explorers foreign oil and i dont and so were going to talk about the content talk about this game because venezuela is one story this is another story you mentioned that these games are from the ninetys released in one thousand nine hundred seventy s. Still has more than five hundred thousand players according to its website. Dating back to one thousand nine hundred nine both some one point six million active monthly players according to Super Data Research i also saw that there were about two Million People still living and second life so it really made me think of those japanese the mythical japanese soldiers who they find in these remote. Pacific islands that still think World War Two is going on like these are there are people how long are these people going to live in and i think. For eternity because the phone company will start taking samples of your blood they already have these phones now or you can check the blood. Sucrose level in your blood for diabetics and so now with that on your phone and connected to the phone company theyll take a copy of your d. N. A. Upload it to. Their database and it doesnt matter if the corpus of your being your physical body is still beating heart and taking oxygen into your lungs theyll still have your avatar playing the casino good to pay your phone bill for eternity thats the problem in this new reality is that it will be no resting in peace there is no death anymore people will pay to make sure that their death is final that their death is complete that all their d. N. A. A scrub thats going to be a service for them multibillionaire class will pay top dollar to have them at this rate of from this planet so theyre not reincarnated by horizon or a contest to be in the casino gulag for eternity theyre the socalled farming by the way i got on this phone a message from grub hub asking if i wanted to order the same sandwich i had ordered previously from a restaurant nearby the last time i was in this area it was really scary i was frightened so maybe id grab this coming after my d. N. A. The d. N. A. Data is the holy grail for the devil and comcast is satan and arisan oh we got to go to the second half darn it we just get on a roll i dont go i must work i went away. From benefit. Very much from the existing plurality rule system because he was so different from the other care if you took any one of those mainstream candidates and you put him in a head to head contest with. That other candidate might well have won. Welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time out of turn to Steve Marshall of cuba ventures steve welcome thank you so cuba the cuba stories is a great story and its an interesting story its a sexy story everyone equates cuba with massive home maximum sex appeal why is that where youve got the caribbean aspect obviously the weather but youve also got the fact that its been to boo for so long and so the americans are now switching their attention to it if you look at our website website stats since obama went to cuba visits went up by thirty six point eight percent from ip addresses in the United States and that represents over fifteen million americans looking for information about cuba up from four percent in two thousand and thirteen so theres a lot of interest here of course thats why its sexy you know if you ever see the movie heat yes i know i love going to miami vice actually yes theres a saying or they take a cigarette from miami over to have an a and its A Michael Mann film its brilliant you know theyre out there in the water and youre just like livin the dream out there and Everyone Wants to go to cuba but you know its been ostracized politically going all the way back to the one nine hundred fifty s. People know the story and its addie open her up now in this new era and isnt you know the political football that is the Current Administration the Trump Administration florida you get the cuban population of in florida how do you get through the political thicket i think that what you have with with cuba is is its going to be attractive especially on a commercial standpoint there are lots of American Companies who are very desirous of getting into cuba one way or another they see this blossoming market is they have an eighty six billion dollar g. D. P. And its probably one of the closest places if not the closest place the United States of america where. The u. S. Sells practically nothing and that unto itself is very unusual and thats why youre getting a lot of the Bigger Companies looking at cuba now i mean look at the farming bill there is so much interest you have the jerry moran bill thats going through congress right now trying to persuade the congress to lift the embargo for the sale of foodstuffs from the United States with all the surpluses that you guys have in the farming belt i mean this could be the solution financially for you for those areas of the u. S. Eighty six billion dollars cotton may. And the tourist business you know its opened up recently youve got two hours youve got flights the National Reaction however and tourists they arrive in cuba but you know the infrastructure for tourists theres not been completely developed yet right or not not adequately maybe thats too strong a word but so what has been the response so far on the tourism side tough talk to us a little bit about that i think first of all we should put that into perspective because its important to make things clear max cuba has been a popular destination for the last two decades with europeans and canadians canadians making up just under half of all visitors two million visitors a year from a country with thirty five million population so its a lot of people so the infrastructure for a tourism standpoint is excellent you do have all of the cab yet of the classic cars the colonial architecture and all of those things that when an american standpoint this is slightly different because the the American Traveler tends to be looking for luxury and cuba unfortunately is not the most luxurious destination especially where hotels are concerned they have a small portion of hotels that a five star and we know we have a Division Within our Public Company within cuba ventures which handles travel from around the world and also from the u. S. We also on equity in an agency based in. Arda so we have our finger on the pulse with the american visitors and what happens is that they theyre going there for cultural reasons theyre not going there for the beach which is which is typically why europeans and canadians go there and that may be why you have that that concept i guess of the country itself and its tourism attractiveness youre launching a korean or a token unique for trade with cuba yes so its a crypto coin c. C. U. Going this c. C. U. Coin yes so tell us about the c. C. U. Croix Steve Marshall well the c. C. U. Coin is basically a crypto currency which is associated and will be linked to revolve pay rivaldo pay is a remittance application which is available on apple and google play from february next year and the c. C. U. Coin essentially deals with the issue of the cross border transfers that are required with remittance payments and the crypto currency itself will be as you mentioned will be associated with talken and that token will be the transferable amount which which crosses borders if you like and then exchange back into local currency in cuba which is not a problem as the soft or the problem that it solves first of all is a price issue right morsel of the Remittance Companies these days bordering twenty percent using the block chain system that we have with revolver pay and also using a crypto currency for the transfer across borders we can get that figure down between six six and eight percent now that may not sound like a lot of sense quite a lot of money but theres a massive difference where cuba is concerned for the very simple reason that cuba receives three point four billion dollars annually in remittances from around the world so that unto itself represents an extra three hundred forty Mill
