  • don't be sad.

    you can come visit cheri and i. if you survive the culture shock, you'd have a great time.

    (plus its warmer here)

  • What do you think the chances are of a massive world wide revolution of the lower classes?

  • @OurFadedGarden there are too many powerful systems in place for a global equality revolution to succeed. the same goes for a second american revolution. the "money-masters" would nuke us into extinction before allowing an upheaval.

    the "submit or revolt" dichotomy is totally bogus. we are programmed to believe that those are the only two option. don't beLIEve it.

    abandoning this system is necessary. if we stop supporting the monster, it will collapse.

  • Hmmm, I went to check out whether Catherine Austen Fitts had made lecture recently, as she is hardnosed, intelligent and activist as well as incredibly, optimistic. AJ just interviewed her today...I haven't watched it yet..."America is an Insecure Empire with Catherine Austin Fitts 1/3"

  • You can sign up to phone bank at his website...

  • By the way, Ron Paul specifically made the point about a global financial dictatorship emerging by the beginning of this June (and possibly before)--and you can find that statement in the middle of this interview (with Glenn Beck unfortunately) "Ron Paul: Both Parties OWNED by Same Elite. Stop the renewal of the Patriot Act NOW". So...maybe you'd like to be a critical progressive supporter of Paul? I think its the right thing to do...

  • @givebirthathome Obviously I am aware that the US President is not in a position to turn all of this around; but, we have to try to protect the good---freedom from assassination, freedom from indefinite detention, freedom from war, freedom to grow our own food, freedom to use inexpensive natural medicines--these are all dignities we can retain, that our President can help us retain, but which Obama won't....

  • @givebirthathome I am critical progressive + support many things Paul talks about, first and foremost, the end of foreign wars + military intervention. But the very economic system he supports, namely the Austrian school, is nothing else but survival of fittest economically, i.e. the very thing which Ayn Rand was supporting, not to mention Greenspan. It is exactly this type of thinking, i.e. MORE deregulation of the banks etc, which lead to the global financial dictatorship.

  • @55ella2007k (continued 2): and for this reason, I will NOT support Ron Paul as a candidate, although I will support his stance against foreign interventions + his stance against the Patriot Act etc. One thing is certain, though: I will not vote for Obama ever again.

  • @55ella2007k (continued 3): so, to me, this becomes a philosophical question, because the policies implemented so far, by both parties (within the last 30 years), are more or less cosmetic. I cannot in good conscience vote for ANY of these prez candidates, because the game is essentially rigged. The system is too broken to effect change from ONLY within. Same thing is happening in Russia, btw, + the problem is too complicated for comments on YT. I understand your viewpoint. thx.

  • @55ella2007k Yes the topic is too complicated. I will note though that Paul voted against the repeal of Glass-Steagall...but I actually disagree with Randian libertarianism too, , and also that the system is too broken (for us) to effect change from within. Ross Perot--just read his wikipedia article...now he had things straight, and he was actually leading in the polls against Clinton and Bush...its sad to look back at missed chances...

  • Btw, I do find the threats of war against Iran very disturbing....I think this would be less a resource war than a hate-based war, pure and simple. Whatever our trajectory might be, enmiserating millions by a war based on lies against Iran will certainly make it worse in strong but subtle ways for many (1 American vet is killing themselves every 36 hours)...and in very unsubtle ways for the hundreds of thousands that are immediately put into physical misery.

  • @givebirthathome Which is why I am supporting Ron Paul. Whether he wins or not, it makes a difference to us, whether we support someone who at least in principle supports truth (whether we agree with all of his policy ideas or not) It also makes a difference to show how many of us strongly oppose aggression; in any event, it can't be worse than not making such a showing.

  • Of course, we have to change our minds as well, so we don't continually waste everything in conflict. I think we find the scarcity model so easy to believe because of the scarcity almost everyone in the whole world now... was raised with...scarcity of attention, scarcity of security, scarcity of beauty and play.

  • the previously used 175,000 tons of transatlantic copper cables, with this 700,000 fold reduction in system equipment weight providing better message quality and using less energy.

    We definitely need rapidly advancing technology to change our life support systems, but we also need to update our minds--we're not being told about just the magnitude of how technology *could* solve our problems, because of a desire to retain the power of control created by the competitive nature of our system.

  • Buckminster Fuller addressed the global political dominance for resources problem in his 1981 book "Critical Path". "You may not like our system, but we are convinced that we have the ..most ingenious way of coping with the lethal inadequacy of life support operative on our planet, but...only all-out war can resolve which system is fittest to survive." And he also addresses why this mentality is an illusion with specifics--"a one-quarter ton communication satellite is now outperforming

  • If the entire world is dominated by a cabal of international bankers, which doesn't seem at all unlikely to me, why would they care what countrys oil companys have contracts where? If you look at Iraq we see this at work. We invaded Iraq, then take none of the oil contracts. Then we pull out our military, leaving behind the state dept with an army of mercenarys, to secure a country that awarded its oil contracts to our rivals. Claiming oil is the motivation doesn't fit with whats happening.

  • @lerch25 Precisely...but oil and access to it, is part of the geo-political equation. The bankers are beholden to no none, to NO nation, so they profit, whether Russia/China gets those contracts or the West. The entire banking system + multinational conglamorates are global, and the oligarchs are running the show virtually everywhere. It is completely irrelevant who wins where, as long as their pockets can be lined in the short run.

  • @55ella2007k Exactly, its not obvious what international bankers interest in the Iraq was. What i was driving at, without stating it directly is that if you are looking for the main groups pushing our wars of the last 10 years, and the next 10 years look no further than the leadership of Israel and thier lobby in the US

  • I'm right there with you. I sketch every once in a while on my Strands Project (best described as my unifying theory of currently relevant information about society and political structures) but more and more it seems an anatomy of a eulogy, or CPR on someone long dead. In the end, I've determined that human nature coupled w/ our specific form of industrial development is incompatible w/ human survival. It's hard to vlog about the end of the world, the hellhole I'm leaving to my kids.

  • @FeelFreeToArgue I'm coming to the same conclusion. Now you know why vlogging less than before....

  • @FeelFreeToArgue Maybe only a slight shift is needed to change the whole trajectory radically..."human nature" for example, depends on hormones, and hormones are changing; our specific form of industrial development has changed in the past, and could change again. It could certainly become a hellhole, but it doesn't have to become the hellhole you expect it to!

  • @givebirthathome Look at what the Santa Fe Institute and MIT are doing about sustainability. I was at MIT about 20 years ago, and its a big change in direction.

    Have you heard about the biological process of caterpillar metamorphosis? If your perspective was just looking at most of the caterpillar tissue, you'd correctly come to the conclusion that the whole thing was dying. The trick is to find out what is becoming the butterfly and *support that*.

  • Comment removed

  • @givebirthathome Correction...human nature depends on hormones and experiences, and look how our universe of experiences is changing....

  • @givebirthathome In the Bible, they had to tell people ...eww...not to eat the meat from living animals. Also, not to sacrifice their infants....I'd say human nature has changed...and now, with the ability to learn how to control our own states (much more rapidly through things like biofeedback)...human nature can *radically* change. But we have to lift our eyes from the depression to even begin to try to work for it.

  • @givebirthathome See Len Hardt for specifics...and then think about how quickly GMO has swept the globe. We can do it. But if we do what we've always done, we are going to get what we've always got, as the saying goes, and there we have to keep working on change, which primarily comes from deepening the way we see ourselves. Look at how Dave and Cherie took the risk of getting together, and the change and synergy that brought about for them and others...what if everyone got the courage to risk

  • @givebirthathome such deep changes in their own lives? Might it start lifting us up from our hate and fear-induced blindness--giving us enough of the love that heals everything around it?

  • Wouldn't a "clean slate" approach mean that you and I would no longer have a bank account - after all, assets held with financial institutions are "loans" and therefore everyone, anyone, including the filthy rich would be wiped out? Why should only "bad loans" be forgiven?

  • There is a solution its called mathematically perfected economy "proof" of solution but hey unity is key not evasion or silence sadly which MPE has mostly been met with for the last 43 years,

    Unfortunately writing off bad debt doesn't address the root problem that causes terminal indebtedness, regulation can only temper monetary destruction because no regulation has addressed the root problem where banks obfuscate our very own promissory obligations we have to each other ie: Money creation?

  • It's an odd odd time we live in now...I can't get over the fact people are sitting around and still have no clue what's going...and with the internet these days there is no excuse for ignorance!

  • Nothing happens in US foreign policies unless it serves Israel. If it was about resources USA would not support or have supported Israel as it is totally counter productive to US interest. The US was welcome in the ME after WW2 and was not seen as a colonially force which is what Israel is. And Arabs know the US support Israel which triggered resentment. I'm not saying it's not about resources at all but i have a feeling it's a way to get useful idiots on board so that Israel gets what it wants.

  • @MustacheVerra I'm afraid that your analysis is a bit too simple. Israel is by no means a super power, and despite their powerful lobby in Congress, Israel by itself dictates nothing other than a symbiotic power relationship with US interests in the region. You need to look at broader relationships between the powers, including the Saudi regime, which also supporting US interests, while at the same time proclaiming to be hostile against Israel. The picture goes much wider than just Zionism

  • The stopping of this horror movie ends when the military turns toward the cause. Until they see that they are being used and abused for the sake of a few world families for power, resources and monetary gain, we have no real hope. It's plain everyday people who fly those jets, man those drone panels and lay down their lives in combat and they are not part of the 1% that benefit. When the people take over the factories, the banks and the gov. Then things will change, world wide.

  • @Boomer1949 I doubt that the military - especially the lower ranking folks - will ever see that they are being used. That usually comes later, AFTER their years of service, if you can call it that. Most people in the military identify with their buddies, and we cannot blame them for this at all. If anything, the higher ranks would have to revolt, meaning a military coup. This will not happen, at least not anytime soon.

  • @55ella2007k Then we're doomed. The amount of money and influence that is running this world wide show is mind boggling. One nation or city striking only sends a small vibration along the spider web, even one strand broken won't harm the whole web and certainly not the spider. One needs to strike at the spider and kill it.

  • Good video Ella. In your opinion do you think war with Iran is inevitable?

  • @Barnekkid Short answer: no, war against Iran is NOT inevitable, although our mass media is pointing us in this direction. Rest assured, that China and Russia will have a say-so in this, not just via abstentions in the UN, but via financial pressure alone. There is no way that western financial institutions could even survive at this point without the soft acquiesence of China. Once their own national interests are threatened, having embraced 'free' markets, they will act accordingly.

  • Ella, you're doing good work. Could you imagine if your physician withheld the news that you had cancer? If he did that he'd deprive you of the opportunity to fight it. With chemo, radiation and maybe some surgery, you could beat it. If people aren't told of the cancer that is eating away at their society and way of life, how will they know to fight it? Your diagnosis and prognosis (among so many other’s) are painful but necessary preparation for what we are all facing ahead.

  • @FriedDaisy Your analogy goes along with my own: I would rather face the truth, i.e. a diagnosis which may or may not be 100% correct, but ultimately not pleasant news, which would leave me at least with some room to make some decisions, rather than having them made for me. If the prognosis were to be 80% negative, I would opt out of all intervention other than immediate pain relief + rather extend the quality of my life over living longer. Conversely>>>

  • @55ella2007k ( part 2): Conversely, if the long term prognosis was relatively good, say a 65% survival rate without too much suffering, I would probably go for it. Which is to say, that I'm not speaking for anyone else here, other than myself. Each person has their own limits as to what they are willing to endure or not - but sadly, most people in nursing homes in the US were never this chance to begin with - hence, once anyone in this state becomes even remotely conscious again, more drugs.

  • welcome back. Ellie

  • Unfortunately too true! I'm on strike today for my pension in the uk! But looks like the Bas**rds are going to win and get it anyway!

  • @jonathanburr89 I would be doing the same thing as you! BTW, the strikes in the UK are not even being reported here in the main stream news. No big surprise, of course, because you would not want any of the peasantry to get any ideas here. There was a brilliant article about right wing LIBERTARIAN non-sense over at the NakedCapitalism blog the other day. Absolutely worth a read, because this is EXACTLY what they have in mind for the 'unwashed masses'. This is Thatcher on steriods!

  • @55ella2007k cant agree more but ud be surprised how many people they have sided against our public sector, plus you get comments from the unemployed saying 'they should be lucky they have a job!' Lucky? Money people have put in for years will be devalued and taken away! What lie is this! And theres a lot of unbelievable things i can tell you about that unfortunately i cant fit into a youtube comment!

  • Tough days indeed.

  • So when someone has been warning to you all about this stuff ladies and gentlemen, for the last 5 years, it would be good to take heed.

    As I sit here at the library, amoungs a group of people, who have not the slightest bit of knowing what is going on or who care. This is a problem that many of you face online.

    And maybe it is a mixxed blessing too, get enough of you online, then many of you wont have time for war and destruction as well. You all take your pick.

  • To much TV and Internet for some people = Bad

  • Americans, and many humans have designed their own genocite with media and technology, I would stop just blaming the elites ladies and gentlemen.

  • It should take you people 5 some years to deal and start to realize at thise point ladies and gentlemen.

  • This is also why, it is not a good idea, to lie and bullshit each other on the internet, and with Television ladies and gentlemen.

    Well becasue, it jacks many of you up.

  • Educating yoursleves on the internet ladies and gentlemen, doesnt really mean anything, unless many of you make a choice to use it.

    Like go outside, and talk to people, outside of your normal social realms ladies and gentlemen, like I mistafied (Tommy) did.

  • Iran will attack Israel HARDCORE if they are invaded, some within Iran are actually saying that 'an attack on Iran will eventually lead to the downfall of Zionism' also U.S. bases in the region will be bombed. Another big thing to watch for is Syria right now, the Libyan rebels are arming gangs within Syria to overthrow Assad and throw a wedge between Iran and Hezbollah.

  • @MadXMax187

    O your all going to have bigger problems then that.

  • @MadXMax187

    Again hard solution, War

    Simple Solution.. PEACE.

    And that means for everyone.

    Keep pointing fingers, which is not working ladies and gentlemen, then nothing is going to happen.

  • @MadXMax187

    I do not work with mob protests, becasue well have they worked ladies and gentlemen?

    Not in 100 years really.

    So what would be the solution which works?

  • @LUVYOUSTILL I believe there is no peaceful way to deal with this violent and corrupt system

  • @MadXMax187

    I dont have a problem doing it with people. But hey, I am living on the street dealing with the real deal as well.

    I think it is many of you who live in those tall buildings, with jobs, who need to hit the street level.

    Maybe stop being like machine robots, like taught.

    And when I hear things like this about my creation, and well what I have had to deal with on this website, do you all think I really want to help any of you people, weather any of you are rich or poor?

  • @LUVYOUSTILL

    I am still dealing with a family, and a google robot, in which is trying to hook me up with another women, and play god online with this stuff ladies and gentlemen, and they cleary have no idea what to do with it.

    Not to say, that there is clones, and other wierd stuff going on, that most of you would not believe, if I told yea.

    Human beings, and many of you in the United States, yea jacked yourselves up, and really have no one to blame but yourselves.

  • @MadXMax187

    And I am telling you people this, Asia, China, the Middle East those people are not going to wait, for the United States to wise up. They are moving forward and doing their thing learning from the mistakes we are making ladies and gentlemen.

    So as I have said many times before Americans, it is many of you who need to deal with the whole Israel, and British Crown stuff, I warned you people all a million times, that the monarc these corporations had to much power.

  • /wiki/Primavera_(painting)

    Becareful about what you say, and how you all say it ladies and gentlemen.

    You all have a chance right now, to change and make something happen, or not.

    The choice is up to you all Americans. The door is open once again.

  • I say live smart and simple, and well life becomes easier.

    But I can go on with many factors as to why the world is the way it is. It could take days, if not years to explain it all.

  • Many of the people in the United States, and much of the world, want to become more free or more freedoms, but many of these same people still want Babysitters as well.

    Pretty much, as I have talked to people out here in San Diego, as long as the United States stays Addictted to Drugs and money. Guess who are the people who are going to stay in power.

  • Doesnt really work to well Ella, When there is a very small few listening to you all, as I do,

    I cant force people to open, their ears and eyes.

    Thats why I focus on other things, The government is going to be the Goernment, and the banks are going to be the banks.

    Did you all ever stop to think, that these enities are pushing many of you people online to start communicating and working together with others.

    I think so some times.

  • The Greatest Speech Ever Made

    /watch?v=NbCFaSPFymM

  • I'll say it "Goodnight" Ella, be safe.

  • Television is for those that cant handle reality, so tune in, turn on and drop out...

    For me I rather watch the likes of you. There is little one can do but try to be supportive in educating others and for this I do thank you.

    Think I'll watch a music video next LOL

  • The frog is still alive and beyond pissed.

  • There is a solution, but no one wants to face that burning down the system might be the only answer.

  • Please post the links, thank you for your comments

  • @robkim55 Done. And thanks for the reminder.

  • that was a great commentary video... i'm sharing this

  • the title says it all.

  • Thank god there isn't a water well disability prohibiting me from using it.
