I think if RT operates anything like what you say, it's that they give air time to folks with views not in sync with US propaganda rather than hiring folks who put out Russian propaganda.

Just to set the record straight, Keiser never held a high paying position within the BBC..

Yeah, Putin has never been all that big on propaganda.

US propaganda huh?
I really wish you weren't such a coward. If you did have a set of balls,maybe you could bring yourself to move away from this terrible country that allows you the freedom to open your mouth and spew your cooky brand of idiocy.
Maybe Costa Rica or Belize would allow you to fester inside their borders.

Looks like you may be technically correct in one respect, i.e., he appears to have funded the show entirely on his own. Of course, what makes having a show on the BBC lucrative goes far beyond salary.

But here's a Max Keiser quote on the issue:

"We were told repeatedly from our BBC executives while producing The Oracle with Max Keiser on BBC World News that any mention of Israel was completely off limits and that this was a matter of unofficial policy. The reason this became a bone of contention was that I was paying for the entire production out of my own pocket and did not appreciate being censored like that. I felt as though I had no choice but to stop doing the show. I�m sure the above mentioned report makes clear the BBC�s bias and this is why the BBC has chosen to spend �350,000 of UK tax payer money to cover this scandal up."

Leave Costa Rica out of this. It's a pretty cool place.

I just wish his parents wouldn't have put internet in their basement.

Succinct and insightful.

Another look at the integrity of TRH's source:

Russian TV�s Max Keiser: Blaming the Victims of 9/11
Adam Holland 4/8/14
Conspiracy theorists have an unfortunate tendency to blame those killed in mass-murders for the attacks that killed them. Nothing about the 9/11 �Truth� movement is more disturbing than when it either says outright or just implies that the victims somehow deserved to die.

Disgracefully, Max Keiser, whom RT provides a daily forum, does just this.
Both on his RT program and in interviews elsewhere, Keiser has promoted the idea that Cantor Fitzgerald, the World Trade Center-based trading firm that lost 658 employees to the 9/11 attacks, had foreknowledge of the attacks.
Keiser says that Cantor Fitzgerald attempted to make money on this knowledge by keeping it secret and placing put options on stocks which could be expected to suffer a loss because of the attacks.
Keiser literally and in so many words accuses Cantor Fitzgerald traders of trying to make a corrupt profit based on this macabre form of insider trading rather than saving their own lives and those of the other victims.

Those familiar with the 9/11 Truth movement will no doubt be familiar with the conspiracy theory claiming that a rise in demand for put options on American Airlines and United Airlines in the days leading up to 9/11 can be reasonably explained only by advance knowledge of the attacks.
It�s been a mainstay of the truther movement, appearing in books by the movement�s leaders, such as David Ray Griffin (9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions and 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals speak out), and Jim Marrs (Inside Job: Unmasking the 9/11 Conspiracies and The Terror Conspiracy: Deception, 9;11 and the Loss of Liberty), and repeated on innumerable websites and talk shows.
Proponents of this theory also claim that financial institutions and government regulators, seeing these suspicious trading patterns, must have known something was amiss and worked to cover it up, proving that they too were in on the conspiracy.

As with other 9/11 truth theories, there is a kernel of truth at its origin. There were, in fact, spikes in put options for those two stocks prior to 9/11.
The problem for the truthers is that such spikes are not unusual, nor were these particular spikes without other explanation.
In fact, all of that was made clear by journalists and investigators in the months following 9/11.

The conspiracy theory was, in effect, debunked before it was immortalized by the truthers.
By June 2002, Insight Magazine had pointed out that other spikes in put options for these stocks, including one much larger than these, occurred in the year leading up to the attacks.

What, so all you Einsteins don't think we're force fed propaganda?

Any of you Teslas watched CNN or Faux in the last few days?

And this: Did You Get Fleeced By Max Keiser, Alex Jones And The Rest Of The Stooges?
Tuesday, October 4, 2011, by Stathis

Several months ago I�warned about the silver pump-and-dump being orchestrated by Max Keiser and Alex Jones.
[...]
First, let me say this. If you are naive enough to listen to radio and TV�personalities for investment advice, then you deserve to lose everything.�

Why anyone would listen to bozos like Max Keiser and Alex Jones is beyond me, especially considering the fact they directly benefit financially by pumping gold and silver...

Got an independent source confirming what Keiser said about the BBC in the quote above?

Pete, it must suck to be forced to support a national news media outlet with your tax dollars that's little more than an Israeli propaganda outlet. The MSM is the same here, but at least we're not forced to support it with tax dollars. Well, not directly, anyway.

TFF.

Doesn't change the fact that RT is a Russian propaganda machine created by Putin.

That's more relevant to their in-house news rooms than to the folks who already had names in the West as opposition voices to US establishment propaganda. They hire these folks (or ask them to be guests on their shows) because they provide a counterpoint to US propaganda rather than as mouthpieces for Russian propaganda.

What would you suggest is their motivation for doing so? Because they care for the American citizen so much?

I thought I was clear on that. They consider that to be damaging to the propaganda points put out by the US. It's a two pronged assault. Firstly they have their own news rooms generate propaganda, and secondly they give air time to folks who's messages are out of sync with US propaganda points. Keiser falls into the latter category. His message is ordinarily suppressed in the US MSM, so he's given air time on RT so Americans can have access to information that does damage to the official US party line.

It's not about good guys and bad guys. Powerful central states are full of bad guys attempting to manipulate what folks think while attempting to throw monkey wrenches into their enemies' propaganda machines.

Only the Real Browneye would trust a failed comedian when it comes to fracturing shale to extract petroleum. What a buffoon!!!
