If Thatcher had lived her words of equality, there would no longer be poverty.

proof that the republican doucheb@gs have got it right - selfish, angry base combined with an ignorant, lazy swing vote equals success.

"to have the State as servant and not as master" she said. the question - servant to whom? Not to you and me, but to BP and Goldman Sachs and Lehman. seems like they are always honest, but we are rarely educated enough to hear what they are saying.

@MrCoffeeandWine The state has always been the master. The willingness to live under a state at all is the willingness to be enslaved.

I was in the dark about exactly how all this consumerism came about. The lack of responsibility in government sadly came as no surprise, but what surprised me was that it was so conscious and blatant. Glad I watched all 4 episodes. I wonder, if we weren't so busy consuming, would we be living more creative, humanistic and spiritual lives?

[paulism1984]

Wait so I was right all along about there being this fabricated status quo and values that are reinforced by consumerism and social values? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone very often in regards to other "normal people." No one seems concerned about the same things that I'm concerned about and they often indirectly tell me that I'm wrong or paranoid.

11:50 is that Martin Scorsese?

Thanks for this excellent upload - fantastic series albeit very long at 4 hours. Shows how we have completely indecisive and ineffective leadership nowdays all due to focus-group driven political policy - we need leaders to make DECISIONS.

You have to give equal importance to spin doctors, pundits and talking heads. You HAVE to!

Love the part about Blair and Clinton. What a pathology, and what an abdication of any sense of personal responsibility. Is there a Betty Ford clinic for power junkies. Worse than heroin junkies or alcoholics.  Book those bozos in or flog them. It gets better. That clown Gould's phrase "continuous democracy" sounds uncannily like total football. Give the masses their opium. Actually, I've moved on from booking them into Betty Ford. Strip them naked and drop them softly in down-town Baghdad.

@yvonnebowe That's why it's SOO important that everyone understand that CLASS is the only divider of people. It has been thus since the dawning of time and the techniques in this series just explains how the 1% have always controlled the 99%. That's what Occupy Worldwide has been about: watch?v=BWRUfmthUOY

Hard to comprehend.

[Servant2All]

@span203fall2011 Is there something in particular that you are having difficulty understanding? Have you tried checking out the first ones in the series to get more clarity?

psychological warfare to make consumers buy those stupid products is not a crime but used against Kenneth Taber to win a game is called murder.. to that.. I have made a charge against the game itself as being evil..
