5th sept 2010. This scene from the movie 'network' is much more relevant today than it was 34 years ago. Reality TV, rise of the corporation, death of democracy, end of civil rights.......... I have chosen you, to spread the message of this...............Because you are watching this youtube video dummy.....................
@shayaan2354...The miliary industrial complex will sell weapons to anyone!!!!!!! They funded boths sides of every war America has been in. The sell weapons to dictators, for genoside. It's all about profit....Yes Nationalism and cultural pride is still around to a certain degree, but if we don't wake up soon, it will be gone. This film was made in the 70's, and today it rings much more true. Militaries, are trained to suppress people, to kill people, that is their main reason for being.
Nationalism and cultural pride are still around. That's present in militarys and differing idealogies between nations. You could say the militarys of the world are part of the military industrial complex, which is part of a business but at least there are different complexes if you will. Lockheed Martin is an example. They make the Air Forces planes, but they don't make weapons for Russia do they?
I watch this and want to post the scene on Facebook. I want to write a tag and tell everyone that over 30 years ago the course was predicted. I don't, though. No one I know wants to give up thier flat screens, American Idol, the "Reality" shows. No one wants to stop and really see what FB is. I have had intense arguments over the fact that technology and progress are not the same thing. I hate to sound arrogant, but there are those who are wise and those who want to be entertained.
What's "good for you" is good in that it's beneficial to your life rather than detrimental. What's "good" is good because it's what works. What works will work. What doesn't won't. Existence exists. That which can exist continues. Continuance is that which works. That good for life is that which life requires. And so existence entails life. Good-ness is that which life requires to exist. Life exists. That which is Life of life therefore is Good. And that is the order of things.
@MattGloer No, it's the collective that has created the civilizations of the world. When people get together and work as a whole they can build great things. The individual can dream but it takes the many to make that dream possible.
@SlightyDisturbedNBK I see your point, and it is a good one. However, I see it more as a numbe of Individuals with a similar goal rather than a collective.
Coporate Cosmology is Socialism! Take note Republicans, there is no individuals in coporate America, just a mass collections of dorks that cut into profits because they need health care insurance.
@cartooz2003 Woooow. You're really going to try to make this go parallel with today's healthcare bill? the two have nothing to do with each other. Fuck, if i had to choose one party that fit this description it would be the Republicans. Cheney invaded Iraq for oil. Fox News capitalizes on fear.
DId you notice how creepy is this man? who brings Howard to the dark place, then start yelling like if he was possesed by a dark entity. Did you see the face of Howard? Just sitting there in terror listening to this crazy man tell him the ultimate truth which is really evil. I've already seen this movie 3 times and I always find something new. This scene is a piece of art that should be played to people at least 1000 times so they can understand the truth we live in. No Democracy, No nations.
If at that time that was ther eal view of the world, it has gotten worse and we're living it.The people are not important anymore.The primal force of nature is PROFIT and nothing else matters. The people who have more PROFITS are the same people that control everything. THere are no laws, politics, or institutions that can protect man from this inimaginable power that the riches of the world have. It doesn't matter how many people die, how many people get sick, how many people lose their homes.
I believe, as of the moment, that god or whatever you want to call it, is a single supreme force, just like evil. I also believe that in recent decades we have slowly become more into human pleasure than what is truely important. We as a society generally strive to make worthlessness worthful, but we refuse to see the enevitable.
Once this soliloquy was thought to be somewhere between brazen paranoia and bleak comedy. Today we know it was parable. The only exception is, the corporatocracy demands perma-war. Peter Finch's wild eyed expressions of pure terror nail this scene. By the time he says "I have seen the face of God," the smart viewer is literally pissing themselves... this is one of the most superbly crafted documents of bleak comedy in American cinema history.
Wow. This scene is brilliant and timeless. I haven't seen Network yet but I plan to after watching this. It gave me as big of a chill and goose bumps as the Gordon Gekko "Greed is Good" speech in "Wall Street."
And we flock to listen to Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky. By embracing this cynicism we allow ourselves not to take part in the keeping of democracy. "I'm powerless so why bother'".We do not deserve to be free , the sacrifices of millions before us were useless . We westerners are a sad lot.
We the children of the west are spoiled brats. We got this incredible legacy from our forefathers , liberty and democracy. But we are to lazy to keep it. So we turn to cynicism and moral relativism. And we swallow speeches like this one.
6:33 Its the individual that's finished. Its the single solitary human being that's finished. Its every single one of you out there that's finished....This is no longer a nation of independent individuals. Its a nation of 200 odd million Transistorized, De-odorized, Whiter-Than-White, Steel belted bodies totally uncessary as human beings and replacable as Piston-Rods. THE WHOLE WORLD IS BECOMING HUMANOID. CREATURES WHO LOOK HUMAN THAT ARE NOT. The whole worlds people.
god exist since the human being , the nations with no god made one, some nations changed their own god with a better one from other civilization,,,,, but on these day we are changing the our old God with a human God : MONEY ...that's mean we dont need the real one......for this reason we are gonna fuck up
For those of you who insight religion into everything: Every culture (etc) all has had their gods. All are presently given the title of "MYTH". [GOD] can and will never be anything like us Thank [GOD]!!! However there is hope for [GOD]. This is called, "Intelligent Design. I'm all for this, in fact I have always believed 100% that there is a [GOD]! "ENERGY" in my opinion is the closest we'll ever get; it is omnipotent and found in everything!! So yes we are created using [his?] likeness!!
Nostradamus? I'm going to write down 5000 ideas; let's see how many will come true!!! If but 3 maybe 4 come true then people will say that I am in league with some of the greatest minds in History! Then irony sets in, people take what I've said and make it happen a joke, because its been embedded in their consciousness and or in their society's culture etc... It's a joke any way you look at it! Then I watched this 8 minute segment!! Coincidence or planned?? You decide!!!
I hear you bruh, but the underlying factor is we are moving into a new age, whether thats GOD coming or the masses awakening to a christ consciousness. It's no doubt there is a elite few pulling strings for how we operate in the world, this video clearly explains that. Book of Revelations speaks of GOD coming back something tells me that's true. Howard Beale- '' I have seen the face of GOD''
This idea comes along every hundred years or so, visions and signs of a supposed apocalypse. When the Romans took over, don't you think that would've seemed to be a "New World Order"? Rather then Americans running wild on the Middle East, Eastern Africa, etc etc. it was Romans running wild on Gauls and other barbarian tribes. People need to stop thinking short term and look at society as a whole. You need to understand how human societies are run, it's just a repetitious game.
This scene gave us the structure of our world in a nutshell. It is hard to swallow but so true. Whoever runs this joint are geniuses, but that system is on the verge of collapse, that figure we call GOD is coming it's just the New World Order came 1st.
God is coming, the fact that the Luciferian NWO is about to take power just as Revelation describes word for word shows you that the word of God is truth and there is no falsity in the Heavenly Father only in mankind. Mankind has sold us out to Satan just as Cain killed his brother, and Esau hated Jacob. Doubt is the opposite of faith and is exactly what Christ Jesus said not to do. Have faith. This is not a physical war, but spiritual and it can't be fought with carnal weapons. Shalom.

money is why war starts and ends. War is what killed the Cold war, money is why we fight in Iraq, money is why people are dying. Money is why we have so much shit going on. Money is the hell we read in the bible or are forced to hear about in Schools. Money is what is taking our rights away.
You know I read a lot of posts of this sort, on forums, on YouTube, all in all pretty much all virtual channels are traverse. But it comes down to this, we want change so what do we do. I'm not talking about the "Big Picture" I'm talking tommorow. Is their a date for some march, or riot I'm unaware of, is every concerned youth of america going to be camped out on the lawn of the white house, or the senate with in the next two years, seriously enough talk lets make it happen.
If no one has started to do so, then you can start organizing it. I fully agree. I'm just studying abroad at the moment and can't start the trend @ the moment. However if you're mad as hell and won't take it any longer then start planning.
This isnt a democracy, nor has it really ever been a democracy. The only true democracy that ever existed were pirate boats of the 1700s. Majority rule? If the majority just decided they want slavery for a group of people, what would stop it?
Oh right slavery doesnt exist. Right. How many of our corporate moguls rely on slave labor of China to keep the profit margins up, by keeping cost down?
You think Tiger will make a stand againt Nike for such practices? Ignorance is bliss.
Hey, who can really blame man for giving into bribes. Wouldnt you? Oh no, nobody here. Like Hollywood that likes to chant from moral platitudes we are all part of this sinful human race. A race that has allowed technology to surpass humanity, therefore humanity has become exponentially more dependant and exponentially dumber. Einstein.
What would happen if we had to live like man did in the 18th century?
Not possible? Hopefully a solar flare wont knock out power for about a decade.
we are the slaves also.. as soon as we get our SIN have to work for things to keep us locked in, cars , house, husband/wife kids, TV shoes we are the fucking slaves and we have to wake up
well, slaves is rather strong way to put our condition. Though indeed we are slaves to the monetery system.
Just wait until the obama amdinistration raises cost on petrol energy and we will then be forced to use solar energy and wind at a very unaffordable and expensive rate. That cost will never go down. However the petrol energy will surpass it.
The so called carbon tax...will go to the government and line their pockets and soon we shall be totally and competely enslaved.
Erich Fromm I've never heard of, but the others I've already read.
But come on, Heinlein? Chayefsky is at least Heinlein's equal. Besides, the day humans (including myself, of course) evolve above insects I will eat my hat.
Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!
pure capitalism nor pure socialism work. Why? The nature of man. The greedy, gluttonist, dishonest man.
Money...big money changes everyone. Look at the rappers...who started their careers saying "fight the power." "Fight the man."
What do they do when they make their money? Move to malibu, buy bentlies, drink the most expensive liqour and chant bling bling to the ghetto they say they love. Show it off to all of them.
Bob Marley....actually real and was not a hypocrite.
We live in a capitalist, oligarchic corporatocracy.
This is a government dominated by corporate influence, banks and companies that believe not in freedom, but in private enterprise and bosses -- political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military powers.
Have you ever seen a poor president? My either.
As for me, I want true democracy -- the ability to have a say in how I live my life.
u want a true democracy?...are you crazy? majority rules in a democracy...and what if the majority are retarded? ENJOY buddy...republic is the only way...
im sure you've heard this...but if your 18 and not democratic your cold heart...if your 40 and not republican your stupid...
i absolutely agree that our system is corrupt and needs to change...but dont be silly
well said sir...but dont forget our forefathers were very smart..they knew their history.
america was created as a republic for a reason.
though i doubt their intention was to be run by central banks and special intrest that is what it has become..Revolution...that i could live with :)...dont start it without me plz
my point to him tho is that i dont think alot of people really understand what a true democracy is...if thats what he wants for america..then he is crazy..period...
You and people like you say anarchism is the answer until anarchy reigns.
You are like an atheist in a fox hole...wait there is no such thing. Like a devil worshipping goth head that use the expressions of others and vicariously use their expression as your own expression...will have a different view the very nano second you meet such an enitity like the devil or anarchy.
Likes and dis-likes are not consequences. Do what must be done. Though it not be happiness, It is greatness. Mark Twain
LMAO. You know nothing of Anarchism, Bronco3250. Clearly, you know about as much about it as Joe Apathy, because you've confused it with nihilism. Learn what Anarchism actually is, before you rant off about it, friend.
Truer words have never been spoken. It's as true then as it is today. What a joke. To think Americans live in a democracy. Or for that matter, any other country in the world. The world is a business. Made up of corporations. And it's been this way since humanity arose from the slime.....
They orchestrated the housing bubble to precipitate the fall of America's economy so they could grab more power and rob the People.
They are indeed traitors. They prevented the States from protecting the People against the housing crisis!! Watch this: watch?v=GMo7T9t0Gzk. Read this article for unequivical proof: washingtonpost. com/wp-dyn/content/article/200 8/02/13/AR2008021302783. html
Probably one the best and most important films ever made! Proud to say I was born the year this was released and equally as sad that this film has now become a reality!
Actually, so many people have given it away for those 30 pieces of silver.
The Federal doesn't even offer lip service to the need to properly amend the Constitution that it may lawfully do so much of what it does. Big business operates only in accordance to the lowest common denominator of a P&L statement. Our borders dissolve in lawlessness even as neighbors rob each other in the courts.
We have been bought and paid for by our cars, our TVs, our great society, our lawlessness, and our lust.

If no one has started to do so, then you can start organizing it. I fully agree. I'm just studying abroad at the moment and can't start the trend @ the moment. However if you're mad as hell and won't take it any longer then start planning.

This isnt a democracy, nor has it really ever been a democracy. The only true democracy that ever existed were pirate boats of the 1700s. Majority rule? If the majority just decided they want slavery for a group of people, what would stop it?
Oh right slavery doesnt exist. Right. How many of our corporate moguls rely on slave labor of China to keep the profit margins up, by keeping cost down?
You think Tiger will make a stand againt Nike for such practices? Ignorance is bliss.

Hey, who can really blame man for giving into bribes. Wouldnt you? Oh no, nobody here. Like Hollywood that likes to chant from moral platitudes we are all part of this sinful human race. A race that has allowed technology to surpass humanity, therefore humanity has become exponentially more dependant and exponentially dumber. Einstein.
What would happen if we had to live like man did in the 18th century?
Not possible? Hopefully a solar flare wont knock out power for about a decade.

we are the slaves also.. as soon as we get our SIN have to work for things to keep us locked in, cars , house, husband/wife kids, TV shoes we are the fucking slaves and we have to wake up
Sneak693 3 years ago
well, slaves is rather strong way to put our condition. Though indeed we are slaves to the monetery system.
Just wait until the obama amdinistration raises cost on petrol energy and we will then be forced to use solar energy and wind at a very unaffordable and expensive rate. That cost will never go down. However the petrol energy will surpass it.
The so called carbon tax...will go to the government and line their pockets and soon we shall be totally and competely enslaved.

The automatonization of man. Turning each of us into a specialized tool, incapable of acting independently from the machine of which we are a part.
You can go back a lot further than 1976 and see this predicted, and much more eloquently.

Erich Fromm, the humanist psychologist. I consider him a philosopher as well.
Nietzsche spoke of the "greatness of man lying in his manifoldness" and against "mere specialists."
Robert Heinlein said, "specialization is for insects."
Etc.
lawlertron 3 years ago
Erich Fromm I've never heard of, but the others I've already read.
But come on, Heinlein? Chayefsky is at least Heinlein's equal. Besides, the day humans (including myself, of course) evolve above insects I will eat my hat.

pure capitalism nor pure socialism work. Why? The nature of man. The greedy, gluttonist, dishonest man.
Money...big money changes everyone. Look at the rappers...who started their careers saying "fight the power." "Fight the man."
What do they do when they make their money? Move to malibu, buy bentlies, drink the most expensive liqour and chant bling bling to the ghetto they say they love. Show it off to all of them.

We live in a capitalist, oligarchic corporatocracy.
This is a government dominated by corporate influence, banks and companies that believe not in freedom, but in private enterprise and bosses -- political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military powers.
Have you ever seen a poor president? My either.
As for me, I want true democracy -- the ability to have a say in how I live my life.
Viva libertad!

u want a true democracy?...are you crazy? majority rules in a democracy...and what if the majority are retarded? ENJOY buddy...republic is the only way...
im sure you've heard this...but if your 18 and not democratic your cold heart...if your 40 and not republican your stupid...
i absolutely agree that our system is corrupt and needs to change...but dont be silly
5Rrock308 3 years ago
LOL."republic is the only way"? How naive.
You, friend, clearly haven't realized the gravity of the situation.
Any reform of the current system is akin to rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.
Communism, Anarchism, Direct Democracy, Participatory Democracy, Consensus Decision Making. Do some research.
Anarchist revolution is the only solution, and those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

well said sir...but dont forget our forefathers were very smart..they knew their history.
america was created as a republic for a reason.
though i doubt their intention was to be run by central banks and special intrest that is what it has become..Revolution...that i could live with :)...dont start it without me plz
my point to him tho is that i dont think alot of people really understand what a true democracy is...if thats what he wants for america..then he is crazy..period...
5Rrock308 3 years ago
xSANJITx is right.
Just because they founded this country with their slaves before you, it doesn't make them right.
I don't want the left OR the right side of the same murderous coin, I want FREEDOM and EQUALITY.

You and people like you say anarchism is the answer until anarchy reigns.
You are like an atheist in a fox hole...wait there is no such thing. Like a devil worshipping goth head that use the expressions of others and vicariously use their expression as your own expression...will have a different view the very nano second you meet such an enitity like the devil or anarchy.

LMAO. You know nothing of Anarchism, Bronco3250. Clearly, you know about as much about it as Joe Apathy, because you've confused it with nihilism. Learn what Anarchism actually is, before you rant off about it, friend.

Truer words have never been spoken. It's as true then as it is today. What a joke. To think Americans live in a democracy. Or for that matter, any other country in the world. The world is a business. Made up of corporations. And it's been this way since humanity arose from the slime.....

They orchestrated the housing bubble to precipitate the fall of America's economy so they could grab more power and rob the People.
They are indeed traitors. They prevented the States from protecting the People against the housing crisis!! Watch this: watch?v=GMo7T9t0Gzk. Read this article for unequivical proof: washingtonpost. com/wp-dyn/content/article/200 8/02/13/AR2008021302783. html

Actually, so many people have given it away for those 30 pieces of silver.
The Federal doesn't even offer lip service to the need to properly amend the Constitution that it may lawfully do so much of what it does. Big business operates only in accordance to the lowest common denominator of a P&L statement. Our borders dissolve in lawlessness even as neighbors rob each other in the courts.
We have been bought and paid for by our cars, our TVs, our great society, our lawlessness, and our lust.
