The Entire American Lifestyle Just One Gigantic Commercial

[barcelona006able]

If all Americans were like this guy I would want to live amongst them.

[Anothercoilgun]

I officially will no longer go to jack-n-the-crack. I hate that kind of advertisement.

[Anothercoilgun]

Yes, I have. Everyone take a look around where you sit. Speak out the words you see on objects. At first you will say "what, I see no words" Then when you focus the names of products slowly are reveled. I cannot turn my head 20 degrees without seeing a 3 corporate entities name from my room. Is the meaning of life to be bombarded with fake names all throughout the day until your mind learns to filter them out and force them into your subconscious? Because that is precisely whta we all do.

[MissSilver2011]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting. I quit watching TV last year, and started gardening. I have more (free) food, a little more to save for an emergency and less wants. American empire is quickly collapsing.

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

there is no "we" in america

so many social dislocations, vast economic insecurity, cultural implosion, crime, junk TV, junk food, crap public education, crap jobs for so many...

if i were 22 and just graduating from university....i'd get out permanently...other countries beckon! like, how hard could it be to emmigrate to australia...

[kclaytor2]

I so agree with your analysis. This time period will definitely go down in history. This is a transition time for the world.

[chadberry75]

anyway, we can call THE A-TEAM. BACK..I LUV IT...WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.

[32937isready]

Those photos look like the good old days compared to this country today. At least back then, people helped each other. Today, most people don't give a fuck for anyone or anything. It's now a me, me, me, mine, mine, mine world and it is getting worse by the day.

[carl16760]

United We Stand.........Good video Cris...getting to know you....smart man..God bless America and every place else..

[KarinOll]

Amerika and elsewhere! Thank you!

[bradq]

everything is licensed. from the doctor that delivers you to the state to the underttaker who buries you. then they tax you afte that. commerce

[mkrulic517439]

@alexpetrunak there are moral atheists, there are immoral atheists. there are moral christians, there are immoral christians. the question is why do you do what you do. the first argument given by christians toward atheists is why not murder and rape if there is no consequence for you actions? that is, w/o the threat of hell why not?

consider kants logic not his life. just like appreciating charles bukowski's poetry w/o living a life of drunken decadence.

[drutter]

Great video! The song at the end was kinda weird.

[1979john1979]

Hey nice upload brother keep at it. You are a modern day pioneer. It is nice to start to see more and more people waking up finally. It is just a mater of time now. We have something the people that had to fight for their rights before us didn't. That is wide open communication. I fear they will try to take this or at least limit it but surely (WE the people) Will not stand for it. I know i won't.

[ssscudgmailcom]

Rock On Christopher, I shared it on facebook man. Great Message

[SUCKITAMERICA]

I upload your videos to my channel all the time!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

[SUCKITAMERICA]

OH GOODNESS I AM GLAD I THINK OF YOU AS A HERO!!!! YOU HAVE PROVEN ME RIGHT! Ron Paul 2012! CHRIS YOUR MY HERO!!!

[mja2035]

Nice video editing Chris, how do we get away from this me, me, me, society?

[5starsteve1]

selfishness is destroying mankind.....sad

[mkrulic517439]

@alexpetrunak religion leads to moral state of non-growth. if you research morality, specifically immanual kant's view on moral value, you will come to the same conclusion. the religious use fear of judgement as a motive to do right. that is based in self. so long as your motives are selfish your actions cannot be great.

[urantiruslan]

i study avertissement its all around us

[CrashMarket]

America has been way over commercialized and it is a nightmare to see it like that .It makes me sick.

[ToxicDreamer]

@CrashMarket the American Lifestyle is a Reality T.v. Show

[rainbo5250]

We want a world of peace,....harmony,.....FREEDOM­,....equality,.....where we are given the TRUTH.

LOVE to every spirited being,......and DEEP COMPASSION to our dear animal kingdom. May our every shared moment on this planet,....be one of sacred gratitude.

Thank you Chris, for reminding us how important our hearts are in this critical time upon earth. Let us all be united,...and walk with integrity.

[Tamayo1980]

@UngluedLamb yes! the path is narrow but i do believe that salvation is earned by helping those who are less fortunate, and if you believe that "there is no solution to will save us all" that's just the fear inside you taking the "easy-way out" because the only creature that can save us from ourselves is other humans.

[deckchairs1]

Almost forgot, if it matters the last election was the last election I'll ever vote in as an american who 'gets it'.

If you still insist in giving the system more power that's on you, not me.

[LessofmeMoreofJesus]

We need to do all we can to help people. Help is not just about money, it's about spending time with people and giving them a spirit of encouragement.

I can do all things through Christ Jesus which stregthens me. PHIL 4:13

God Bless

[Tamayo1980]

If one is able to turn their focus of hate, mistrust and materialistic need/wants towards helping others they will change their motivation and thus change their vibrations form fear into love.

[1betrman]

Great post!

My folks survived the 29 by giving thanks n working smart.

Grandma Becky 92 yrs is under hospice care as I type.The end of an era.

Ave joe had nothing in 1929 stealing from a neighbor was almost unheard of.The problem today is entitlement mentality.Take away food stamps welfare medicade & watch all hell break loose.

Poor? Over weight bling flashing ipod -xbox flat screen mobile phone carring spinner wheeled generation don't know what Thankful means.

Ev 1 wants to be a "star"

[owlcu]

I love this guy but it's hard to take him seriously when he puts commercials on his other videos and you have to sit there and feel taxed by them before you can hear his message. Chris, I implore you -- stop putting ads on your videos. It looks hypocritical and doesn't earn you enough to justify that.

[thetimman00]

As your past walks along with you.

[PatriotEke]

I never even knew about that event in 1935. Thanks. Fortuna favet paratus!

[tkit81]

PARAPHRASE... "Because selfishness will be commonplace, the love of most will grow cold..." The words of Jesus Christ spoken 2000 years ago concerning signs of the end of the age... this age... BE LOVE!!!

[chaineychainaman]

Well done!

[silvergoldhedge]

Tips for people to support great channels like this one: 1. Thumbs up! 2. Favour them and put them in your own channel/topics list here on YT. 3 Tweet and share them with others! 4. Put a link on your site to this video or to GreeneWave - do what little/big you can!

[silvergoldhedge]

Great video's and information that everyone needs to hear! I cant afford much to support you financially, but I do Tweet every single video, share them and favour them! I urge everyone reading this to do the same!!

[planthi80]

great posting....you have a new friend~!

[garysquirrelreviews]

kids are the most materialistic than they have ever been, rich or poor they all want the same thing but they dont need it.

im only 24 but it sickens me

[imatelly]

as long as americans have fast food and tv,its ok,i mean its the peoples fault the government kills people,yet they say its the government,well so everyone knows your paying for the war you are letting them kill people,its on your head too,unless its ok to pay people to kill people in your mind

[johnnyangel26]

Hey Chris. Arizona looks pretty nice...

Ron Paul 2012!

[slobomotion]

Uprated! In 2009 I decided to start giving away all I earn (which is very little). The reactions to this were strong. I was called a nut! My own families ATTACKED me and things just got worse and worse. We were talking PEANUTS here, but my not BUYING stuff except to rehab my apt and employ people with MY OWN MONEY drove them BANANAS! I went to a couple of shrinks and others they insisted upon. Clean bill of mental health. NOW they are REALLY MAD! I'm sane!

[feastures]

Amazing images with amazing message. This does not only apply to US but world at large.

[Conflagration2100]

"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."

Douglas MacArthur

[carefulcarpenter]

@Conflagration2100 A powerful statement. The hard part is when you are aware of the bigger picture yet when you speak out, or do the right thing, others ignore you or judge you as a "do-gooder".

[badlegend1]

@Conflagration2100 Do you think Douglas McArthur was a great man?? Watch` March of the Bonus Army` it might just change your mind about that man...Just a suggestion.

[eatandtravel]

Imagine how bigger your wallet is getting? Good for you Chris...

[Tishela]

@mamaj1013 ..and Biden

[platoplubius]

on a side note, didn't many of these dust bowlers leave everything behind and many of the banks foreclosed on their properties took them and sold them of course....it seems someone profited off it greatly...hmmm....didn't I read somewhere that the land being flooded along the missouri is being picked up on the cheap by "speculators?"....oh wait, I suppose you don't need a flood for that, just create a real estate bubble, bide your time, and pick up all the pieces on the monopoly board real cheap

[platoplubius]

if you could put the artist name and song title in the info box, that would be awesome! A song that told a story worth hearing! How far we have come.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[alleycatalog]

A revolution in thinking! People have to learn how to think, not have their thoughts given to them.

[yaplonglong]

Being a giantantic Commercial ain't too bad, at least you can continue to in a dream, and perhaps you wake up in a stupor from the hangover the next morning...

But the reality is America is a Giant-ormous Ponzi Maze spiraling towards a black hole, with no outlet.

[justryandshutmeup]

I don't know my neighbors but they dont speak english anyway. I put emergency food away and nobody is getting even a crumb because they snicker at me about it. They can gd starve, i dont care even my family laughed and they can starve too unless they have something to trade if SHTF. Who needs the bastards anyway brokeass people. Peaceout.

[mrmjg20]

@justryandshutmeup I know how you feel, my own wife and kids laugh at me when I talk about it or bring home food to store. All I want is a little protection just in case. I wish they would take this more serious, after all I'm doing it more for them than myself.

[justryandshutmeup]

@mrmjg20 I feel ya. People are seriously removed from reality-We have never been more dependent on electric, oil etc and just one EMP and its Meet the Flintstones: Idiots!

[HiawathaMohawk]

What's the name of that song and the artist? Great tune, touched my heart.

[rayme4raw]

Americans are the most over marketed country in the world. We'll see over 1 million advertisements in our lifetimes.

[Shameonfed]

Tell it, brother.

[Iwillbedurnd]

All those folks you speak of that need to take responsibility have already packed and left the country. With "Suka's" emitting from there lips as they got on their private jet. America has been left in the outhouse of history.

[KR46389]

Excellent!

sent you a message regarding ditching the debt and abolishing IRS.

[PREPAREORSUFFER]

chris can you explain what happened in the market this week ? after all was said and done the market only lost 150 points !! i truly do not believe the market will ever crash.

[oitzingerpeter]

America. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!? Hah. No longer my friend. Don't go fighting no wars on behalf of these scum sucking bankers that have destroyed the USSA!

[PrinceG28]

Seeing a slideshow of pictures and hearing your voice to me is way better then watching you yelling at us.Good Video though.

[kungfusnoopy1]

You are so right about the me, me, me generation. Thank you my friend

[seraphim1313]

@pjamesdba. That was 1932, I don't think in our day& age it will only be 2 deaths, but I don't know. We shouldn't be living like this, I remember the only statement, "what does that have to do with the price of tea in china?", now a days-- everything. Amazing, huh?

[1TexasPrepper]

And people wonder why local banks where targeted in the early 1900's The people then knew the real story behind the banks. They lived during the time of the change.

[AccuracyMarked]

I imagine we're all feeling some of the same things as those in the 1930's depression.

[PrinceG28]

If people are hurting and we should help them why aren't you donating instead of having it in your description box?

[pjamesbda]

@th1nk4once - This idea that something is going to end, and something else take it's place is wrong. Rome is still there. This is the way history books are written, but reality isn't nearly so tidey. In fact, the system has been deteriorating since the end of WW2, punctuated by about 20 years of booming growth.

We are still who we were. But we are changing, and Christopher pointed out we need to embrace the change, and make it better than it was. Can we do this?

[pjamesbda]

In 1932 determined to collect their "bonus" pay for service, 15,000 - 25,000 World War I veterans gather and begin setting up encampments near the White House, because they were homeless. The gov. would not pay the money it had promised them.

On July 28, when they refused to move, violence erupted, leading to the deaths of two veterans. Hoover orders Federal troops, under the command of General Douglas MacArthur to burn down their camp and assist D.C. police in clearing the veterans.

[platoplubius]

@pjamesbda and don't forget Smedley Butler's role in what you speak. He was supposed to lead those angry veterans in an attempted coup but being a REAL American Hero, didn't go through with it...instead leaked the info to a few other good men in Congress.

[pjamesbda]

@platoplubius - an interesting read..thanx for the tip. The most decorated Marine when he died indicates a lot. The story illustrates that before FDR the GOP ran things, and with an iron fist. Although they lost control, they never stopped trying to undermine the gov. and planned to use treachery to organize it.

Similar to today, the extreme methodolgy lives on in which they would destroy the very thing they fight for in order to "win". No doubt, people need to wake up.

[teamhunley]

HEY EVERYBODY! PLEASE READ 'CULTURE JAM' by Kalle Lasn (AdBusters Founder) if you haven't already. It was written several years ago. Great book. Highly recommend.

[Hristoroquen]

All values come from Christ and His Church. Return to the One True Faith, and then all will follow.  We live in a world of lies, ruled by the Prince of Lies and the Talmudically-based Synagogue of Satan. It has never been worst this side of the Great Flood. In order to return to truth you must return to Truth incarnate. In Christ through Mary, H

[chefshitpiece]

@Hristoroquen OK....right. Well, try and look at it this way... it's hardly respectful to old JC if we sit around, do nothing, and wait for Him to come bail us out, pardon the pun, IS IT NOW!?

[fortherichbytherich]

to bad we were SOLD OUT

[RandallSteen]

Very good show. I think you would like SGTbull07 "Madness of a lost society". When I watch it I can't help but hang my head.

[cherrypopncandy]

This man is so right. When our value system crumbled so did your Unity, Convictions, Community and Ability to fight the corruptions too. Guess govt. corruption falls to the bottom of the list when we have a selfish mindset and a value system that says our personal comfort comes first.

[MaxW85]

Now I'm hungry for a burger...

[driller62869]

We need a reset ! Sorry...Our team sucks ! To be a bad ass team... you have to have talent. 99% of Americans have no talent. Braindead Cattle ready to for the slaughterhouse.

[raven8699]

I only 46 and while I was growing up the "entitlement" mind set hadn't taken root yet. That's one of the biggest problems in our country today. We need to reward hard work & accomplishment, and shame slothfulness. Too many people think shit should be given to them simply because they were born here.

[carriellbee]

Buy buy buy things you don't need with money you don't have. It's the American way.

[owlcu]

The irony is how the internet is making us aware of our alienation from each other, yet in so many ways it is responsible for it. People are staring at computer screens instead of interacting in the real world, which may be why the real world is falling apart. I think the human race has "topped out" intellectually and is finding ground through collapse of its monetary and other artificial systems. It's a never-ending cycle, and the ones who fare best learn to surf it.

[thaboomer53]

If we are to change for the good, the values system must be a part of the real change. The hard times that are coming will test everyone. No one, not even the prepper community, will be spared from hardship, but we will be able to get throught it.

[itsonelouder1]

Consumerism, materialism and capitalism were supposed to make you happy. If that was the case, all the mega rich would be happy as fuck!

The constitution only mentions "the pursuit of Happiness". Happiness isn't a goal to be achieved. Does a baby have to "pursue happiness?" To think it does is absurd. So when it's a little older, why do adults insist that they should?

[nvitagliano]

@itsonelouder1 Happiness is not a destination but a manner in which to travel.

I watch The waltons all the time now, as I did growing up. And that show really holds some lessons we all can learn! From the Dust Bowl relatives who came to the Mountain, too the lights being turned off, the Charity, the canning, the REFUSAL to EVER buy on credit, I Love that show!

[CountryCool71]

@stevey65 That's exactly right. :-) Hold tight to that faith brother b/c we now what is coming. More importantly we know how it all ends.

[deckchairs1]

@GreatDepressionTwo Although on the face of it RP is the truthiest guy out there. Problem is this belief in a system that is rotten to the core. The entire system.

So how can one man in a system like this fascist oligarchy function. I have this nagging feeling RPs run for the presidency is a setup.

Be unforgetting your govt has gone ROGUE and will use your weakness against you.

Last minurte bait n switch is my prediction and you can quote me later when it is reality and too late.
