Marianne Williamson Speaking on the Occupy Movement

[summondadrummin]

Her description of selling her book leaves out something crucial where does the money which she earns from sales come from in the first place? Where is our money's source? Money is analogous to blood in the economy where it flows there is activity where it doesn't there's stagnation.We call it the money supply like the water supply but it is not supplied like water its loaned into existence as a debt.This puts money in the drivers seat and the creators of REAL WEALTH having to CHASE after it.

[summondadrummin]

We ended Slavery~Chattel Slavery but not DEBT SLAVERY.Take from the Banks the power to issue the publics currency as interest bearing debts~which is legalized counterfeit.We now need to end wage slavery and debt slavery.This will require we REINVENT THE MONETARY SYSTEM.

[mirstobom]

Thank you, Marriane. Brilliant speach as always. I love your thoughts and guts to say things as they are, especially about the corporate greed. Even though coporations have no soul, they appear to be greedy. I think that behind every corporation there is a person or persons, who make decisions. But they have taken comouflage behind its veil, and take no responsibility for their decisions and actions. It is a group think concept.

[TammyTangoToes]

Actually I agree with her, I think she has a point. ;-)

[Katalllina13]

I enjoyed this day enormously! I was inspired by Marianne to learn more & research more about the process of capitalism in this country. She is a great teacher for me. Marianne, thank you so much for your courageous heart. I feel blessed anytime I have the opportunity to be in your presence.

[Bachconcertos]

We have the power because 7 billion people on the planet out number the .01 percent -

By the way the United States of America was made into a corporation -- look it up.

Pray for the souls of all the people that have died due to this economic collapse to date. - and died in a land where there is running water, schools, electricity, and paved roads and all forms of transportation. and advanced technology - sick, it is beyond sick. All this so called "intelligence" with no heart or human decency.

[karotosoupas]

Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!! love from Greece

[beautifulday2004]

A M E N ! ! 

[gyrateful]

She speak for me. Does anyone know where I can get the text of this?

[risingtiger42]

Beautiful and powerful! Great breakdown about what this country is about, who we are as a people and what the REAL bottom line is all about. We are stewards to democracy--each of us responsible to act upon the principles of justice to further HUMANITY. Not soulless corporations. Indeed, end personhood to corporations.

[huzone600]

Beautiful and inspired talk, thanks!

[ckboss56]

Some one sent this to me and I will send it to many. Everyone should hear this.

Thanks so much!!!!

[marcsiciliani1]

Marianne is one of our true patriots willing to put her voice and body on the line.

If we have more than two political parties We now must add a layer for coalitions. The victor in the presidential election would be a Plurality that would require joining of forces to obtain a majority.

[Texas2SF]

I'm so very glad that this video exists. I was at the Unity Church of Berkely for this very fine Marianne Williamson Lecture. She inspires me!

[MrRichDavid]

fernly knows..right.

[fernly2]

Greenspan wrote Chapter 15 (or 16?) of Atlas Shrugged. Both have failed. Read Rand's nonfiction, The Virtue of Selfishness, to understand better the ideas put forth in AS.

[fernly2]

History: D.C. was located in the South in exchange for the agreement to refuse to establish a central banking system but use instead Alexander Hamilton's American system of economics. Only twice has the U.S. established a national bank; now the Federal Reserve System (a private central bank) along with the taking down of Glass-Steagall in '99 has bankrupted the nation.  HR1489 will remedy this, NAWAPA will bring a prosperous science-driven economy, and the Wall Street water boy will quit.

[nuitgoddessful]

She takes too long to say some very simple things! Yikes. To educate the masses with their short attention spans, you have to be quick about getting to the point. zzzzzzzzzzzz.

[RoboSlater]

"... a system maladaptive for survival ..." She should study Ayn Rand. They share much in common but Rand understands capitalism much better.

[MrRichDavid]

@RoboSlater Capitalism has changed in the 50 years since Rand wrote her books/manifesto.

[RoboSlater]

Williamson relies on the leftwing revisionist history of America. And I do not blame her for accepting as gospel that which she was taught.  But the source material says much the opposite of many of the things she says.

[MrRichDavid]

@RoboSlater  Yeah! like what ?? "left wing revisionist history"....revisionist history is Bush ,Cheney , Rice and Powell, saying "We thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction". so let's go to WAR....If that's true why did Cheney smear Joseph Wilson & out his wife Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, when he tried to tell the truth....have you forgotten that?

[MAmerval]

Absolutely extraordinary, articulate, insightful and inspirational! Marianne Williamson presents the perfect blend of political and social awareness, with an underlying current of practical spirituality. Crystallizes the purpose of Occupy Wall Street movement with illuminating and inspirational clarity

[TheBarnabasShow]

Marianne's Book ' The Healing of America' was written 14/15 years ago precisely for this exact moment in time.... it is a manual for overcoming greed, political abuse, consumerism, and reminds us that the answer lies in establishing a re-connection to our soul and honoring the spirit and principles this country was founded on! A MUST READ

[reva1040]

Marianne: So privileged to be able to come to your lectures on Mondays in LA and I will say you are one of the most brilliant speakers I've ever heard, particularly historically. Love the Healing America book and this prompts me to read it again. I encourage people to at least visit Williamsburg (in person or on-line) and get educated about our history. Thank you BIG!

[SocialSC]

Just.. Amazing.

[cgwmail]

And that's why I'm voting for Ron Paul!!!

[cgwmail]

Thank you! Now I understand everything I was feeling about this all!

[joeclover]

Marianne, you don't appear to be staying on COURSE. Us against them?, Hmmm..... Disks of Metal and slips of paper?., Change your mind about the world.

[thehandrail]

"...[we have] fourteen brands of tooth-paste and only two brands of political party?"

That's just right on the button sister!

[noodleheadpig]

@thehandrail my thoughts exactly... brilliant analogy.

hopefully, not much can get lost in translation on that one... its so true.

[homicidal1]

and they say the movement has no leaders.

[memama2]

New YouTube about Marianne and pals =....New Age Channeling is demoic possession by Jinns Part 1 of 5

[browneyedgirl65]

Is there any chance of getting a proper transcript of this? The autotranscript on this is really too difficult to decipher what she is saying.

(If you don't believe me, turn off your audio and turn on the autotranscript. Yikes.)

[philiprowney]

Hmm, on Washington:-

Washington's "Farewell Address" was an influential primer on republican virtue ""...and a warning against partisanship, sectionalism, and involvement in foreign wars..." source Wikipedia.

Prophetic...

[plaren]

To the Ron Paulies: I like Stephanie Miller's take on him... "Yes... yes... yes!...yes... whaaaaaaaat?!"

[hartfully]

Reading all of the comments drooling over Marianne (a smart lady with some good insights) you would all be better off learning from Ron Paul. He can lead us out of this mess and has the experience, dedication and knowledge of history to carry through. Look at his record. Really Marianne for president?? Marianne apparently appeals to those who just cracked open their minds.

[MrRichDavid]

@hartfully that's right...people who have open minds!

[Debba99]

yes, and the church PREACHES that Government leaders are chosen by GOD.. same PAGAN BS.. the Church has its believers DEPENDENT upon them for what GOD says and Means.. and pass the hat for MONEY.. while they FILL THEMSELVES they THEN give what is LEFT to the needy.. This is why Jesus led the sheeple AWAY from Gov't & Religious INSTUTIONS to go OUT and BE with and FOR others make your OWN miracles..

[12prosperity]

Brilliant history lesson for all of us - that as we grow and change, so does the world.

We all have a part to play on this planet, in our country, in our community, in our homes. And it begins within our own selves: self-knowledge, self-correction, forgiveness, compassion for others as well as ourselves, and speaking our Truth - May justice prevail within each of us - and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

[mfaine]

I watched and agree with what she has to say for the most part. I would prefer she leave out all of the woo and spiritual nonsense and focus on reason and justice. I also think that I've become unreasonably cynical in my old age since I found the entire presentation too practiced and too slick. It made me wonder if she is just altruistically imparting wisdom or does she have a different, more opportunistic purpose.

[MrRichDavid]

@mfaine boy, you really are jaded and cynical.....It's just you haven't see anyone who speaks this well. She is brilliant.

[iwannaiquana]

Zionists and jewish people are different !!! This may be like saying that all people from South Africa, are Black ??? !!!

Please Zionists and Jewish people are two different things !

Almost all Jewish people, are NOT Zionists ! And almost ALL Zionists, are NOT Jewish !

[corvusblog]

My reasons for naming the Federal Reserve as all-Jewish has absolutely nothing to do with Judaism, but has everything to do with identifying the common denominator of a most criminal, criminal class. I remind you the media covers the Congress and the President wrestling over a few billion, whereas there are over 17,000 BILLION dollars missing and unaccounted for over at the all-Jewish Federal Reserve.

[tulekbehar]

@corvusblog Stop Antisemitism ASAP

[corvusblog]

If it were an all-Palestinian Federal Reserve, the media would be covering the missing $17 trillion at the Federal Reserve non-stop 24/7/365.

[corvusblog]

I use the term "Jewish" as a means of identifying a very particular criminal class; I describe the criminal Federal Reserve as "Jewish" because they are all Jewish; just like the parade of Jews who inserted false information used to go to war in Iraq. Do you think that is a "coincidence" since Jews comprise less than two percent of the U.S. population?

[corvusblog]

Can you name one person or group or corporation who has ripped off the American People more than the very all-Jewish Federal Reserve? to the tune of over $17 TRILLION?

[philiprowney]

23:45 MASSIVE applause from England

[KarinWantsLoveForAll]

Thank you Marianne! Very strong, very inspiring!

[IAmLovesLight]

I LOVE you, Marianne! Keep up the great work!!!

[eagle6702]

The stockholders are millions of Americans with money tied up in pensions, 401k and 403b plans(25-27 minutes in). Also the companies that produce for the US military employ several hundred thousand people. It takes 5-10k people to build an aircraft carrier.

Such a force of eloquence and grace!

[MakeoverSessions]

MORE.. Furthermore the funders of the movement are steeped in evil, anti-semitism, and the demise of America. I share your love of America, but I don't share your love of the occupiers. Their base behavior and utter lack of respect for the individuals' rights who have been raped and hush-hushed for the "greater good" is worse than any atrocity they may be protesting against.

[dreck34]

@MakeoverSessions Where are you getting your views from? What you say is SERIOUSLY flawed, misguided, and just plain wrong. Sure, the truth is that any gathering of tens of thousands of people is going to include a variety of mindsets, and different levels of integrity and consciousness, but what you say about "the funders of the movement" and "their base behavior and utter lack of respect...etc..." is just plain wrong, absurdly so, and reeks of subversive propaganda. Nearly laughably so.

[corvusblog]

@MakeoverSessions ..said the Zionist Jew-lover.....fuck you. Zionist Jews are what ails this nation, and the sooner the better...not fast enough...it's coming, set your clock now.

[zurieljoshua]

@corvusblog Wow. That was ugly. And bigoted. Not the revolution, my friend.

[JazzSaxUT]

@corvusblog We don't have time for that type of talk. Please grow up.

[MakeoverSessions]

Marianne, I have been a long-time admirer of your heart and your work. This presentation disappoints me. If only your belief in the heart of the foundations of this movement were true. Your altruistic and noble belief that the occupiers desire to do good is blanketwide is misguided at best. The "one" unfortunate photo you mention is actually multiplied and multiplied by way too many to look the other way.

[dreck34]

Thank you Marianne.

[Hydrogenagent]

END THE FED!!!

[TheIriecycle]

hi mw,

nice to finally hear you. agreed w/ everything except that you stated it started w/ reagan. See"DC Douglas' 'Why #OccupyWallStreet? 4 Reasons." on You Tube. Seems like the undoing of Glass-Steagall under LBJ primary in corporate personage. Really well said otherwise.

[rocketscientistknigh]

Absolute genius. THANK YOU.

I'd convert to a Quaker and bow to you, Marianne!

Kent

[carolsessler]

Or HER consultant...

[carolsessler]

Or maybe our next American President will hire you as his consultant...

[tamiati58]

Does anyone have the text on her speech here? Or the capability to do so? Would love to read and post excerpts, if possible. Who is Marianne Williamson? From California?

[carolsessler]

Marianne...OMG, the luckiest day America could imagine would be you becoming President.

[lionessgirl88]

@carolsessler yes I agree - "Marianne for president" sounds good to me!!

[RobertWhitlock]

this society is being driven like a train 100 mph through the night, without a headlight, we know there is a cliff up ahead. the track runs out.

it defies all common sense.

[dartheo19]

Thank you! so eloquent, inspiring, empowering...PURE TRUTH. You are a living AVATAR. LOVE YOU !

[whateverwhatever62]

Powerful! Historic!  Inspiring!

[ThisJustZen]

I think Marianne and Cornel West should go out on tour like Jay-Z and Kanye. "Watch The Cronies!" Wonderful talk, Marianne!

[zenlama]

Wow!

[dhsargent]

Finally a rational voice for the movement!

[lionessgirl88]

You are awesome Marianne! Thank you for being the voice of reason at this critical time in history.

[samsarahmail]

 A powerful spiritual teacher , speaking with clarity on spirituality and politics.. Bravo!

[Simeysmi]

Love you Marianne

[jennNjackNY]

Except the truth is we really only have 1 or 2 brands of toothpaste....that we have abundant multiple choices in American consumerism is a total illusion ("Food Inc" great demonstrative example) that we buy into and keeps us slaves to big corporate spending (who own our government)

Great video, incredibly inspiring and I definitely shared on FB and twitter.

[lionessgirl88]

@jennNjackNY Not really....on store shelves yes, but online there are several brands to choose from by small businesses. I like to shop at iherb(dot)com for stuff like toothpaste and wholesome snacks - cheaper alternative to Whole Foods. Use coupon code MEM545 and get $5 off your first order....free shipping on orders over $40. Most of the brands on iherb are small businesses, including iherb, which is family owned and operated.

[wonderheart]

Thank You....and for the remembrance, connection, bravery, beauty, and inspired truth that you SHINE here now

Bless You Bless us Bless all* Amen

[SoundStrayKat]

This needs to be posted on every Occupy web page. Putting words to the shared ideas.

[joanneshelton2]

I feel so relieved now that I have a greater understanding of what is happening with occupy and how I can participate in the movement. What a brilliant speech with a wealth of information and at the same time a living example of nonviolence. I'm blessed to have seen this video.

[God9Particle]

[Revolutions2012]

Speculation / Gambling different from investing. Money changing usury is an issue. Trickle up not trickle down. Derivatives = Bets

Credit Default Swaps = insurance on bets

Hedge Funds = borrowing of money to gamble with (unregulated and secret also used to manipulate markets)

Taxpayer Bailout = Taxpayers covering the gambling losses for gamblers after great individual profits)

Reality = Insurance (e.g. AIG) could not cover failed bets which amount to: USD 206k per person-on-planet

[MysticRealmz2112]

Marianne. You are brilliant, bold, courageous, and an inspiration. Thank you for having the courage to speak about this issue. Too many metaphysical thinkers have a tendency to try and "wish it away" when it comes to political issues. Our freedom to believe as we do is afforded to us by the Constitution, and only vigilance will keep that document alive for not only our own freedoms, but for that of our children.

[1WorldStage]

Some very lucid thinking, there is Hope!

[OneClickRevolution]

Wonderful great speech and points made

[iamthelotus]

Marianne makes a tremendous amount of sense here and sheds much light ☼ on this serious issue with her admirable presentation. She brings it all together. This is one of the best, most precise speeches i have ever heard by anyone. mesmerizing because of the truth of it all. genius and heavenly at the same time. awesome. ~Edward the Dharmacist aka "iamthelotus."
