Free tents from Halliburton? part 1 of 2

[rarosera]

Scuse my french, but these guys are FUCKING GENIUSES!

[dikkydoo1]

charlie looking for a new angle.... money hungry monster.

[Mirocky1000]

Tiny point being missed. If they actually do good, then that is the change in them you have been demanding. It is said doing good is good for you. Why should a company be exempt of that? It has to start somewhere. Why not with a lorry full of food to TKO? You want change of attitude but don't appear to see it when it happens. Why is that, I wonder? Credit where credit is due. If they do good, that is good of them.

[gurnstein]

Totally agree with Chrisfreeactivist.

Are you people naive, stupid, (the sh*ll word) or what? I can't quite make up my mind. Corporations spend billions on PR to persuade people to buy into their brand you're doing it for next to nothing. The corporate beast is governed by one thing and one thing only: greed. Nothing and I mean nothing you people do will alter that fact.

[chrisfreeactivist]

I would argue that the suffering caused by the increased positive PR for these companies outweighs the good deed. The corporation is legally obliged to serve the profits of shareholders above all other ethical priorities. Trying to change a corporation of that size is like asking sand not to get stuck in your arse crack on holiday after sitting on the beach naked...

[jimbob1969]

If you ask for something in return then it ceases to be mere kindness.

By letting companies like Nestle participate merely gives them a false impression of themselves and also wrongly suggest to consumers that they're the good guys. Either they give the stuff without mention or this whole excercise becomes bogus. But I love your motivation.

[f4cili7ator]

I haven't read any comments so I apologize if someone mentioned this. I don't agree with this but it would make me feel a lot better if it had one thing. On the website below their logo you need to put how much the donation was worth vs how much they made that year. I fear that without that sense of actual contribution vs power to contribute comparison, that these companies would be getting away with the same sort of minimization advertising they've been doing for years.

[shitydrumer]

i see both sides of this and i honestly cant take a side. and if it was to truly help people i would not though if it was to make people happy only for those that are really in needlike the people thats houses are fluded

[antixkelz]

the question to ask is, are these tents made of a toxic material and will they make people sick, like the trailers from fema that were used to house people after the katrina hurricane? if they are, we dont want them. lol

[matthew376]

I just love this anti-corporate, anti-celebrity, anti-status quo stuff - its time to move the sheep to a new field

[UrbanHunters]

take the tents!

[texme]

I hear Wedding bells... The Love Police *Heart* TKO.

[freekkisan]

great way to show that there are humanbeings inside those corporations. As an entity corporations may be unwillingly malevolent, or should I say indifferent to human suffering, but when we give them an incentive in a marketing or exposure -way they can become a benefit to us..

[MadcapMan]

@freekkisan

I agree. The majority of the people inside do not know the real gameplan. I feel sorry for them rather than hate them as many people unfortunately do.

[pearliekins]

WELL DONE GUYS GREAT WORK

[alirussell111]

yes these guys should get the free stuff, but they shouldnt go and give people like haliburton and nesle good press over it. these massive corporations defintally have bad intentions when giving this stuff away, they know the publicity will get them more money. as for the tents thing, yeh u'd take the tents, then you'd make sure every1 who gets the tent knows what haliburton is about, and the intentions on which they gave the tents. you gotta keep it real.

[matthew376]

@alirussell111 We should remember that in contract law when you take the benefits you automatically are obliged to perform under rules - just look at the government for an example of this

[IAMDAVEMINGCHANG]

everything is OK........ so what do we do now!

[NRKNOW]

with all avenues of propaganda advertising being used.Guess this is just a new form of corporate brainwashing .The evil conglomerate throwing the people some crums..just to say.Hey where not totally evil.

[TheBatman435]

@NRKNOW evil is in the eye of the beholder.. TKO has given away 100,000's of things that are normally earned through working. In terms of the system that is literally millions of hours of 'work time'. people with the kind of resources TKO get their hands on are 'meant' to horde them and make a profit, what do most people do with a house of free electronics? Not TKO, they publicly give it all away, think what that is a demonstration of?

[daveco1270]

Bottom line, things are rarely black and white, there's a lot of grey areas out there. Charlie's too worried about the corporations getting positive PR for their good deeds. For now, we need to work inside the matrix, use the tools that we have to better the world. If these guys can get evil corporations to give away stuff, more power too them.

[nashorie]

i also agree with the other guys charlie using their evil system and doing something good with it u cannot deny hungry people because u feel taking the food is imoral i think we need to really think this thru

[bordaran]

It's good to see people engaging their brains on serious issues and coming up with creative solutions to some of our problems.Very thought provoking. Thanks.

[MrHappydays34]

Really interesting vid!

[ShantiKris]

Good stuff!

[HumanityWins]

giving out toys to children can be really deceptive because happiness should not lie in material things!

it will only create more consumers because you are actually helping them to get familiar with the "benefits" of pointless stuff.

and i think corporations see that. that's why they are doing it

[piecraft]

@HumanityWins exactly, which is why there is truly a no sense in this activity as it only helps feed into the System and carry on the Agenda.

[TheBatman435]

@HumanityWins think about what you're saying, it's not deceptive, go give a toy to an ill kid and let us know how it goes! It's good to do good.. especially for those who can't do it for themselves. It's not about creating consumers, it's about using consumables (part of the great experience) to maximize LOVE... what would you do, give some ill kid a lecture about capitalism????? it's only pointless if you're pointless and I AM SURE YOU ARE NOT POINTLESS

[HumanityWins]

@TheBatman435

lol.. this video/channel? certainly has it's own viewership... why else you got 6 yes votes on this comment?:o

basically... you're saying that consuming brings love?

now let's all think about that :)

p.s. cant do what for themselves? they cant work their ass off for a big corporations to get love from consumables?

go give a brand new 52 inch plasma TV to an perfectly healthy factory worker and see what that does do him?

[TheBatman435]

@HumanityWins I am not saying consuming brings love, I am saying that how we treat consumables, (which are a reality of this world), determines if they bring love or something else.

Consumables in of themselves are neither positive or negative.

They can be negative if used as a tool of enslavement and elevated above the love of your fellow man; OR positive if they are used to make people smile as expressions/manifestations of joy and a wish to share that joy.

[TheBatman435]

@HumanityWins Cant do what for themselves? Im talking about kids in hospital, so I guess Im talking about cheering themselves up and creating a space where the horrors off their predicament arent cripplingly awful

;-)

[HumanityWins]

@TheBatman435

well, it doesnt really matter where the kids are. if you start giving them material things instead of real spiritual love, then they will end up in the consumer lane and that's what feeds the system.

it's quite funny actually that people think it's normal that a young human being IS suppose to get happy after receiving a plastic eeee.... product?

[TheBatman435]

@HumanityWins Part of being a loving caring person in this world and acting in line with spiritual love is giving, receiving and sharing all the things that have been brought out of potential and into reality. Give kids toys, give homeless people food and give me a break ;-) these gifts are yours to give and through giving them you make others happy and you make yourself happy; it is actually real spiritual love in action not just intellectualizing about it.

[HumanityWins]

@TheBatman435

well... there's no point getting all philosophical here.

as i said before - giving (plastic, most probably) toys to kids which are paid by corporations can be a deceptive thing.

p.s. i'm still amazed that people actually are happy if they receive pointless shit from others. especially for their own birthday. quite ironic actually...

[XATTaxlessMoney]

@HumanityWins The Kindness Offensive have given away tons and tons of food, not just toys.

[XATTaxlessMoney]

@HumanityWins May as well tell people not to eat because it encourages the producers of food. Random acts of Kindness are valuable for the inspiration they engender. Conquer inspiration, and all that is good follows. It's the people with all the stuff who need to be encouraged to trade some of it for the joy of giving it away. Either inspire them to be kind, or take it from them at gun point. I know which I prefer. The Peaceful nature of this Kindness Offensive which makes it attractive & unique

[HumanityWins]

@XATTaxlessMoney

i wasnt talking about the food. my first sentence in a separate paragraph clearly says that i'm talking about giving toys to kids

[XATTaxlessMoney]

@HumanityWins I get that. What I'm saying is that inspiring people to give is the point, regardless of what it is they give first. If a company enjoys giving kids toys, it is easier to convince them to give food or whatever is needed next time. They need to be introduced to a giving habit. Get what I mean?

[XATTaxlessMoney]

I think Charlie answered the question really well." Keep getting that Shit from the corporations!"

[gaiaspiritonline]

corporations are made of PEOPLE, we must appeal to PEOPLE to change things

[piecraft]

@gaiaspiritonline that is a figment... people can co-operate, but that's different. However, once they corporate they no longer sustain any essence of BEING but rather DOING... i.e. product placement by which we ARE by definition under the System prevalent since the Dawn of the cultivator civilization relegated on the Illuminist Agenda.

[bluejetty01]

@gaiaspiritonline Yes. you can talk to a corporation. It has no mouth!

[bluejetty01]

'can't'

[greencigar]

Charlie never really answered the question...

[piecraft]

@greencigar well Charlie never answered the question because the man never explained himself appropriately.

[aerobique]

great

[piecraft]

to be truly kind one does not benefit from, it's absolutely crucial that people start seeing how misguided the people have become over time with their devalued understanding of certain abstract concepts such as love, peace and freedom rather than constantly throwing them around and realizing how the system plays against people psycho-spiritually when using the cult of ego.

[piecraft]

@piecraft To BENEFIT is an egotistical trigger to make you feel good from doing something that should be already naturally, only it's not registered for the right reason and become a TRANSACTION... i.e. similar to credit and debt... and there we go... my 2 cents.
