Michael Franti on the Real Estate Crisis, The Federal Reserve, Climate Change, Al Gore #ows

[wmarcus1203]

Franti made a song supporting Obama and he fails to mention his mistake and blind allegiance to the corporate commander in chief.

[rotoscoop]

Thank you for giving Franti something to think about while treating him with respect.

[gsgrl2000]

Global warming is what is fake but climate change is not: the climate changes that's just simple fact... There is a difference between the two although those like Gore would have you to believe they are one in the same, they are not!!!!

[tseitz123]

Al Gore is a scumbag fuck up and Global Warming is a scam and a COMPLETE and TOTAL FRAUD

[idkcameron]

That Al Gore shit caught him off guard.

[tdubduders]

Everyone should give Al Gore and the Government money....let's forget about the Federal reserve and focus on global warming! Damn....such a well spoken fellow and he's duped like so many others on CC being real....lol

[andynomark]

@Buddy3315 No, but if you starve the snake, it becomes weak. Sorry I replied to the wrong post,I think we are mostly on the same page. I was replying to the person suggested no one was coming up with a plan on what to do after the Fed is abolished.

[herringla]

The great global warming swindle is a shitty discredited documentary that only adds to the white noise of the conversation about climate change.

[cramlow1]

What is so hard to understand about climate change... look at the ice sheets in the North.

It may not be caused by humans, but it is undeniable that the climate has changed. Not everything is a scam... there are real crises and focusing on sustainable solutions is good for everything.

Carbon taxes are not the answer, but they do create market incentive to lower emissions, which is a good thing for western powers addicted to oil.

[lilill0223]

@cramlow1 Ice sheets been shrinking and expanding for billions of years. Climate change is not an issue it is what the earth does but we are convinced that it is a problem that we have to fix. Carbon taxes are not taxes per say they are credits that if one company has more than they use they can sell them to the top bidder. and they will be able to buy as many as they like. And who is one person that stands to make BILLIONS selling and trading those credits...oh ya our friend Gore!

[lilill0223]

And all this will do is cost small business for they don't have millions to spend on credits like large corps

[Kroganist]

@cramlow1 shutup fool.

[AlexTronic777]

Franti makes music for Obama ^^

[andynomark]

@Buddy3315 Go back to a Federal Dollar like we had before the banksters bought the legislation that created a "Banking Cartel" called the Federal Reserve. A REAL dollar would actually be redeemable for tangible assets rather thanair. At least or monetary system would actually benefit the citizenry rather than an elitist minority. The Fed is neither Federal nor is it a Reserve. Ron Paul has talked about it ad infinitum, the fact you say no one talks about it just shows how controlled, you are.

[crazygoofball]

Al Gore is a fake and fraud Occupy his house!

[StratusBlue]

The gate keepers of BOTH FAKE SIDES have contemptuous names for the other FAKE DIVISION they maintain. Alex Jones calls you "trendies" when hippy is too obviously a divisive generalization. But bigotry is definitely INSIDE the scope of the FAKE RIGHT side, so his bigotry is part of the herding function he performs.

[StratusBlue]

As you see, it is WITHIN the scope of the FAKE LEFT to oppose Wall Street and directly connect it to the mortgage crisis. The FAKE RIGHT is obliged to blame government regulation for corruption, so you see the gatekeepers of the FAKE RIGHT leading the anti-Fed side.

[StratusBlue]

The odds of finding an honest & famous musician are 1,000 to 1.

[jonscobie1]

I love michael Franti!!! hes the dogs bollox!! Oh My God!!!

[StratusBlue]

"We will lead every revolution against us." Teodor Hertzl

Be careful who you idolize. Musical ability is intoxicating.

When asked directly if BOTH parties are bought, Franti dodged it. Why? He is FAKE LEFT SIDE PARADIGM all the way. He is as bought by them as Hank Williams is bought by FAKE RIGHT.

ALL MONEY IN MUSIC INDUSTRY is devoted to that LIE.

You'd have a better chance of finding an honest lawyer than an honest musician because FAME drives musicians. Some rebel AFTER fame, very few.

[cybrmstr]

The NWO may be trying to exploit us from Global warming (IE Carbon tax) but it does exist from human interference along with natural causes. Don't take my word for it. There is plenty of scientific evidence. Read about the The Thirteenth Tipping Point.

[rootusercouk]

@cybrmstr - too true. the last thing we need is another glut of money collected from the masses which will be used to further line the pockets of a few wealthy individuals through a carbon derivative market without addressing the problem.

[danco35]

Great interview, great question to the global warming believers. Good job Luke, keep it up. Expose the truth.

[ObamaJoker]

Franti is a complete & total sellout. I know the guy, well. I used to book him for concerts & festivals. His music is nothing of what it used to be. He went completely soft. He's sold his soul & lost his voice. He was 110% for Obama & Al Gore & still is. Listen how he avoids all the questions. He & his music is ridiculous now. The man charges & makes ridiculous amounts of money & contributes nothing toward awareness. He has nothing to say anymore. He's a lost cause. The blind leading the blind.

[skypilot805]

Uhh... Hippies piss me off. I'd like them if they'd actually educate themselves a bit more, but they're just as confused as the rest of the sheeple. They've got the "love and compassion" message right, but they're SOOO ignorant and/or brainwashed on how the economy and monetary system works, or how it's suppose to work. Plus, the global warming thing... please. It's SO obvious that it's a fraud to instill a carbon tax.

[anewlow23]

@skypilot805 The BP disaster alone is reason enough to get off oil everywhere they drill mine for coal or drill for natural gas they turn into a wasteland the entire global warming thing is just a distraction to keep us fighting pumping out all these pollutants certainly isn't doing any good and if you can avoid it why not? I myself built an electric truck and have 10 solar panels on my house and I am not a rich guy. Solar systems are just panels batteries and an inverter.

[ineedmoneymo]

he lost me at 'climate change'.

thanks for the link to that documentary!

Word.

They got shit.

Don't buy it.

[Fixthis10537]

Insider follow the money. I bet he is on the dole someplace, trying to co=opt the occupy wall st like so many others are trying to do the same thing. Obfuscation is the name of the game now, creating confusion to further the big lies.

[purldiver]

My question and one Luke should have asked is why did Michael Franti cancel his annual "Power To The Peaceful" concert held every year in San Fransisco since 1998?

Is it because Franti is embarrassed because of his support of Obama and he has not stopped them like he promised on the his campaign trail on further expanded the illegal wars?

Or could have Obama contacted Michael Franti to get him to cancel this year because it could have brought focus on what a warmonger Obama is and like Bush?

[catwatters4]

I disagree that we Need banks,, People just need to live within their means,, How about that?? People need to help each other,, Give,, Not Lend with interest.

[jm0069]

You are weak if you give the top comments a thumbs up. There will not be a NWO because we control our destiny not some bullshit power quotes. And everyone should live as sustainable as they can because fossil fuels won't last forever. I am not in support of a global carbon tax.

[jadeaube]

Yeh he lost me at climate change, Ill forgive him though

[econogate]

He's upset about bankers making bad bets and profiting offthem but not upset about them charging us all taxes just for breathing with climate taxes?

[judithnarz]

Climate change awareness because of Al Gore? You really blew it there. Al Gore and the Rothschilds are working for their own pockets not to save the planet.

[RagnarOdinsson]

This cat should be held accountable for crimes against his hair!

[DigitalHemorrhoids]

@RagnarOdinsson Awesome user name!

[vivavasquez]

we don't need banks or wall street, all we need is each other, can't you see that?

[saveyoursoulyt]

@vivavasquez I would add that we need God.

[vivavasquez]

@saveyoursoulyt or he needs us

[ToolFan68]

Luke, I want you to know how much I love the fact that you try to educate these guys. Thank you. I would be considered a liberal but because of guys like you and Alex, I see things in a whole new way. Please keep on keepin' on my brotha!!

[LiveFreeorDieReport]

A "REAL" journalist! Nice work!

[ufobuzz]

This guy obviously hasn't researched the fed reserve yet.

[thecoolerstinger]

You can see bank fraud and not climate fraud, non lol. It is garbage so that control freak fascists can tell us how to live our lives.

[cmqc510]

finally some good top comments, hippie movement sad to say is very similiar to this truth movement and the ones who have either created it or infiltrated it. either way its end game is the NEW WORLD ORDER possibly under the disguise of a world of love, harmony, and peace.

[AHAH1010]

everyone at wall street beat the fuck out of those pigs, no more peaceful crap its time for violence

[jonnyboy87392]

The greed is in the U.S. Government. Funny how these people are taking time off of their JOBS to protest successful businesses. The "top 1%" didn't just become rich overnight they had to WORK for what they have now. All I see at the occupy wall street rally is a bunch of lazy people that want everything handed to them.

[OWNtheNWO]

Poor Franti buying into paying carbon taxes to lord Rothschild and Al Gore. while they systematically rape the environment. Still have mad respect for him though.

[matsutakneatche]

fuck off franti fuckin douche

[3o4Titties]

I love his music, youtube search "Ganja babe live" it's SICK.

[pigeonpsycho]

awesome

[wmarcus1203]

they were forced to make those loans by law... wtf man

[deadheat130]

@wmarcus1203 forced to make loans by law ? Do some research and see who is on boards of those banks, and who is taking profits and benefits hand in hand....better yet google or youtube Zeitgeist: Addendum....take notes...meaning take a pen out and listen for key words and names and use your computer to learn about the depth of the lie.

[RosenKrantz666]

Keep asking, Keep challenging, Keep educating, Keep informing, Luke!

You're doing yeoman's work, brother.

Luke INFORMS, INTERACTS, & does NOT antagonize, even though it can be tempting at times, especially with woefully misinformed, however well-meaning some people may be.

What truly a model activist; you're truly living WeAreCHANGE's Gandhi's motto: "BE the change you want to see in the world!"

Keep it up Luke!

[bassplayer703]

what`s the name of that last song?

[alistairproductions]

Michael Franti just got more awake.. I've seen his shows, and he's a great guy

[dolphwong]

I always thought Michael Franti was a douchebag and I like hippy music. Now I know that I was right

[timochio1953]

Hey Luke...was looking for you down at the park.I ran into Anastasia from RT and she said to say hello to you...Niceeeeee :-)

Keep up the good work...see you next time...Oh went over to the Federal Reserve looking for any group protesting them.Nobody was there.Oh Well

[BlueSpawnRecords]

Franti's best song IMHO is from his 90's band......The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - "Television, The Drug of the Nation". What a kick ass song.

[HowFreeAmI]

End the Fed! Bring the Private Banking Cartel Down! Bring the lapdogs JP Morgan, BOA, Citi, and Wells Fargo down. #OccupytheFed #EndtheFed.

[BlueSpawnRecords]

@HowFreeAmI  you failed to mention Goldman Sachs....they run the world dontcha know...that's fact.

[HowFreeAmI]

@BlueSpawnRecords but I should have labeled all the families because some people may not know that. Thanks.

[HowFreeAmI]

@HowFreeAmI I did, they are one of the eight families behind the FED. JP, BOA, Wells, and Citi are just lapdogs.

[MegaNewsReader]

Climate change is more important than the federal reserve? Someone educate this man quick!

[imarketingprofessor]

Climate change is 100% fake. You lost me @ Climate Change too. Don't be your own fool.

[hawaiihypnosis]

@imarketingprofessor Climate change is fake?  So the climate never changes in temperature?

[imarketingprofessor]

@hawaiihypnosis Yes. No. 

[hawaiihypnosis]

@imarketingprofessor you're an idiot. Saying the Climate Change is fake is such a broad generalization. If you were to say Man Made Climate Change was fake, that might narrow it down a bit.

[imarketingprofessor]

@hawaiihypnosis THAT IS CORRECT.. Man Made is fake.. Climate change is just a fact of precession and our orbit/

[hawaiihypnosis]

@imarketingprofessor how can you prove that no climate change is man made?

[younwhosarmy]

You lost me @ Climate Change..... not humankind's fault there... 

[LongueTiedNoLunger]

@younwhosarmy Pollution and greenhouses gases from MACHINES has nothing to do with the Ozone layer?

Have you been to 3rd World countries where pollution is rampant? People can barely breathe, and have all sorts of weird illnesses and cancers.

[Camyum]

"Climate Change" is a euphemism for geo-engineering which is euphemism for weather manipulation. "Global Warming" is a cover for HAARP. Tesla's ideas and technologies that were meant to free humanity are being used to enslave it. But we are figuring this stuff out more and more every day. Love will conquer.

[n01gonzalez1]

WE WANT CHANGE BUT NOT OBAMAS KIND

[rafi6700]

We need banks ?  Banks are good ?

WHAT ????????????????

Is the solution more of the same ?

Shouldnt we just demolish the whole system and start from scretch ?

I suggest we scrap the whole thing and build something completly different. Something that will NOT be called a SYSTEM, because ALL systems are limitations, and all limitations are volnurable for abuse.

[7eeeeeees]

What he's talking about are Credit Default Swaps, where one company loans to Person A and that loan is insured if by a 3rd party if Person A defaults for the full amount. (If that makes any sense)

[Imagine369hz]

cool, but climate change? it has nothing to do w man

[Jmath446]

We are change use more michael franti music on your vids. And your view count will go up. Much Love and solidarity-Jeremy, Plattsburgh, NY

[MonkeyBlox89]

We need to just get rid of the monetary system and money all together and move onto a resource based economy

[BEEPBEEPVRROOMVRROOM]

Pollution and man made climate change are completely different.

[kelpop12]

Global warming? "hide the decline"

it's amazing confused informed people are... seems like everyone has a little bit of the big picture but very few can see the big big picture, even those who can see more, I'm sure are still missing big parts.

[CaliforniaCarpenter7]

He had me until 'climate change'.

Damn hippies are so smart up to a point.

[bassplayer703]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 the earth is changing man, just look at the ice age, no one to this day knows how it ended so fast, the earth has been through some weird shit, but as far as "climate change" it is happening, but pollution isnt the main cause, it`s the every evolving weather and the fact that the earth is not perfect as far as it`s natural climate

[the26thhour]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7

Although I hear ur point, cause every "group" has both its valid & invalid pov's, even if we all still lived in caves, just under 7 billion Humans are going to effect the natural balance of, well Nature. There's always a concern to even hysteria when anything else amasses to become over balanced, like storms, locus, el niño, blue green algae, natural predators, so why not Humans?

I guess I could say, why are so many of us, in such denial about us? 8)

[CaliforniaCarpenter7]

@the26thhour Good question.

There are way too many humans, so lets start the eradication process, starting with YOU. Find a tall building, climb to the tippity-top and fucking swan dive!

If your theory is correct, then you would essentially be a hero, no? One less filthy human on 'Mother Earth'! Chop-chop, hop to it.

Still here? Then shut the fuck up. 8)

[thecoolerstinger]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 In the control freak's sick cult, they are good because they know the humans are evil, so they don't have to die like the rest of us. They are very, very sick people and they should never be anywhere near power over other people. So of course they are in power.

[the26thhour]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 ok, so ur just a hater with issues - got it

[super16g123]

@the26thhour that "man is killing the world" theory was born out of eugenics and is just an attempt at justifying mass murder of human beings namely the undeveloped world. which is what ultimately would be the end result of all of their "so called" solutions to "man made" climate change. if they tell you something is going to get you unless you give up money or liberty, its bullshit. you can bet your ass on that fact

[the26thhour]

@super16g123 I never said such a theory, why put words in my mouth?

[super16g123]

@the26thhour yeah, your right. you just seemed to be following that same train of thought.

[the26thhour]

@super16g123 far enough 8)

[super16g123]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 lol, i know right

[EX0MATRlXTV]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 some hippies gonna protest for better climate for Mars, Venus, Mercury etc. because they know that we are to blame for the "change" over-there too lol

[ObamaJoker]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Franti is no "hippie". He is a very wealthy, vary prominent businessman/salesman.

[AbovetheNorm10]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7

your damn right about that one

[gatheringoftheminds]

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 climate change is not fake. it is always happening. global warming, maybe, but climate change is a reasonable thing to believe in. weather is very touchy now as always. in fact, if you refer to hoagland and wilock's paper on interplanetary climate change you will see that it is not unique to earth.

[AWalkinEden]

It's called a Solar cycle, not Global Warming.....

[QC3C7]

There is a global warming in some areas because there are "Chemtrails" absorbs moisture in the atsmophere and prevents the formation of natural clouds! That's it! LOOK UP!

[thinkagain777]

human caused global ''warming'' is a SCAM/FRAUD/JOKE/ HOAX... who is changing the ''climate'' on MARS, JUPITER, VENUS etc...? planet is cooling..here in UK we had in the last 2 years the coldest winters in the last 200 years... and there are citys where it snowed when before never did...yeah ''global warming''

[YouSayYouWantA]

@Buddy3315 Legalize competing currencies here in the U.S., and most people will migrate back to hard money, Gold and silver.

 :) thanks

[usergently]

Climate change is due by the sun. Period!

[666katch]

Climate change is a hoax's Al Gore made a lot of money making the documentary

and he is part of the problem!

Thank you bro. Thank you Micheal.

Global Warming os not REAL, Look UP HAARP... simple sheeple

"National Socialism will use its own revolution for establishing a New World Order."

—Adolf Hitler

And so it is. Don't you understand that you're participating in THEIR revolution?

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."

—David Rockefeller

Whether by conquest or consent, you will accept the New World Order.

"We shall have world government, whether... by consent or by conquest."

—James Warburg

[MrDeathSmiles]

@HeroOfChristArchives

Bingo. Which is why the people in the buildings (Wall Street, bankers) and the people on the street (lots of unions), are both doners to the ruling class and to the Obama campaign.

[hearv888]

@HeroOfChristArchives in my opinion, your wrong... the new world orders "fort nox " is the federal reserve, so if the federal reserve goes down there wont be a new world order... but a new world based on freedom, justice and following the constitution.. Ron Paul to save the world actually..

[tkieffer63]

Yes the main problem is the Federal Reserve. Get rid of them and let us make our own money without being charged interest. Go back to our Constitution and we will be on the road to recovery and put all those crooks, vampires and just plain gangters in jail.

[BTinHD]

The science is the great global swindle has been proved wrong. Be careful what line of activism you take. 

[BTinHD]

end the fed

[i8uNWO]

I admire the passion of all the protesters… but Know thy enemy… it is not Citi Bank that beats you? Bank of America - JP Morgan - Chase Bank -Wells Fargo... Are any of those thug cops wearing hats with a Star Bucks logo on it? Are McDonald’s clowns groping your wife and kids at the airport? No! It is your government! Corporations don’t have standing army’s… Focus People…Governments do!

Know Thy Enemy! Only with the help of corrupt Government can any of this horror be facilitated!

[MrStoneClark]

@i8uNWO Wall St HIJACKED teh government. The FED gave the means to Wall St to hijack the government... hence the problem is the FED. Peace

[i8uNWO]

@MrStoneClark I understand where you are coming from, but if the politicians were acting in the best interests of the people than the Fed would not exist in the first place, the Fed is a symptom of the cause of a corrupt government, piece back at ya :)

[MrStoneClark]

@i8uNWO I disagree my friend. The politicians cannot represent the majority people in this current system of money via debt because the people do not have the money - and never will. The bankers have the money that they created from nothing and use that money to influence congress via special interest groups - the bankers create money out of thin air, then charge the people interest. Think about it man... it's a big picture thing. Peace

[i8uNWO]

@MrStoneClark Yes, but look at this way, If a mafia man offers protection to a shop keeper and says, you rip off the customers anyway you like just send some dollars my way and I will protect you, are you going to change things by jailing the shop keeper leaving the mafia man to move on the next shop? Or is it better to take the mafia man out of the picture? The corporations are only doing what the state allows them…peace

[MrStoneClark]

@i8uNWO Ok... I'll get thru to you. Think of it this way.... the state is bought and paid for by the bankers - which is the FED. Peace

[i8uNWO]

@MrStoneClark LOL… it’s all good, in the end we both want the same thing, corporations out of government, government for the people, and an end to the fractional banking system, I truly hope the protesters can shut down the Fed, but I also hope once that is done they look to those responsible and hold them accountable. Peace

[MrStoneClark]

@i8uNWO LOLz I agree! Peace

[BabylonsKing]

@i8uNWO Right on Brother or Sister who ever you are...Know Thy Enemy which is the Government who judging by the political realm who resides there, The Majority Couldn't give a Rats Ass about any of us. And could somebody tell me what the hell does East Timor have to do with a Rapper in a Cowboy hat protesting Banker Occupation on Wall Street to kill us?

[neohxc]

the global warming swindle isnt linked

[TroySmithforD]

NO NO NO!! climate change is a fraud man...see..this is the problem..too many down there in the square, and too many fractured opinions..he's dead on with the banks and mortgages and fraud there, but soooooo off on supporting Al Gore..

[landofthefreemyass]

Nice job Luke.
