I DISAGREE MAX, JEFF NIELSON IS SCARED, NOT CLUELESS
I don't think Jeff Nielson is clueless. He mentions "threat" and "consequences" twice in his 1-4-2011 article accessible from maxkeiser.com. For me though, the real question is the consequences for most Earthlings of not carrying on with crashing the Morgue. The U.S. began a revolution in the 1960's and this created an incredible backlash from the bankerment, who doesn't want any kind of revolution, especially a political one, the next step after sexism, racism and classism is reduced. Below is part of the article and I hope you and/or others with comments can help me to understand which is worse, making risky choices now or having no choices later after the twin eco-eco (economic-ecological) meltdown:

In this respect, we must look at the now-famous internet "campaign"by Max Keiser and friends/allies to "take down JP Morgan" (JPM) as a two-edged sword. I would (will) undoubtedly be one of those cheering the loudest on the day that this odious Oligarch is forced into bankruptcy. However, a blatant and direct "threat" to bring down arguably the single most-important financial institution in the entire US economy may be viewed by the US government as both "an economic threat" and as a "threat to national security."
We need only look to Afghanistan and Iraq for examples of the extremes to which the US government will go under the pretext of "national security." Compared to its global military rampage, confiscating any/all of the silver it could lay it hands on would be nothing more than a minor "footnote" to current events.
In this respect, Bullion Bulls Canada has not joined the growing internet clamor to "take down JP Morgan." We will certainly monitor this important grassroots movement, but our own policy is not to engage in active promotion of this campaign. To those parties who are actively crusading on this issue, I would hope that they would take the time to seriously evaluate the consequences of their actions.
"Taking down" one of the most notorious banking oligarchies in the history of humanity may be (is?) a noble goal. However, as individuals laughingly parrot the phrase "let's take down JP Morgan," it's important that people realize that this is not some "internet browser game" but real life, with real consequences.
