G. Edward Griffin: The Collectivist Conspiracy

[opaz79]

they are talking about internet trolls as if theyre a real problem that needs to be adressed by eliminating the ability to be anonymous on the internet

[ZeerosFate]

The real criminal here are not the people controlling the game, they're just smarter than the average person. The criminals are the idiots who fall for it and defend it with conviction even throughout its downfall.

[ZeerosFate]

The reason "elites" want to control is because most people want to be controlled.

[jedimaster303]

@ZeerosFate and you base that complete load of bollocks on what? I'll agree that humans are a tribal species, and that they need and expect leadership, but what you said is simply not true.

[jedimaster303]

@ZeerosFate If you don't believe me, do a little experiement; Go outside and instruct the first person you meet to kneel before you. If you are lucky, they will ignore you. If you are unlucky, they will smash you in the face. If they kneel, they must be a figment of your imagination, just like your comment.

[ZeerosFate]

@jedimaster303 "Go outside and instruct the first person you meet to kneel before you."

Are you an infant? That's not even close to how it's done.

[jedimaster303]

@ZeerosFate Don't try and act superior to me, because you aren't.

[xXxHumanityxXx]

You can't deny this point of view about collectivism either you like either not , these

are the bare facts..

The hourglass of time is running out!

Great false flag events are about to happen..

Educate yourselves and be ready!

[1693caterpillar]

A vote is now worth no more then the paper its written on.The elite have control over all major political parties of the world. It's a shame that men fought and also died in wars believing that they were fighting for our freedom so we could have democratic rights and the right to vote for change God bless them. It just makes me sick. Its time to kick out and prosecute the trash. Long live the untainted unregulated Internet and vote Ron Paul.

[jedimaster303]

The Globalists are playing 3rd Dimensional Chess. We are igniting 4th Dimensional Lightsabers.They try to use fear as a weapon. We aren't afraid. Foregone Conclusion.

[xcvsdxvsx]

Those who subscribe to a leftist ideology believe that, in a society, more equitable access to the means of production by the individual is desirable. Those who subscribe to a rightist ideologies believe that, in a society, greater variation in the level of access to the means of production is desirable.

[AwesomeFinish]

I agreed with everything until he mentioned that Ford took a bailout. They were the only American car maker that did not accept a bail out.

[2598129]

RON PAUL CAN'T WIN SO NO I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

[thomassparks36]

@2598129 You sound just like his opposition speaking. Ron Paul CAN WIN!!!! Against all odds!!!

[2598129]

@thomassparks36 YES IM why should anyone wants to beat a dead horse?

jjust pack your things and move to China or better yet to Thailand.

[hauleywood]

@thomassparks36 ....and he's winning more & more everyday!!!!

!!!RON PAUL 2012!!!

[hauleywood]

@2598129 ....then enjoy your interment @ Camp FEMA, Blinded one ;)

Love this guy.

He is so grounded and plain spoken.

[MrDeejayjfx]

WAKE UP!!!

[moviematcanada]

This is a great movie/interview unfortunately everyone I sent it to said they couldn't watch it because it was too long.

You just can't shorten it there is just too much important points he hits head on...

I loved it & it just cemented my resolve even more listening to it while I worked out.

The Creature From Jekyll Island video rocks also... this man knows what he is talking about.

[Helden6621]

Ron paul was about to give himself away to bruno for an interview! *but bruno wanted a sex tape!* LOL

[intheblues]

Great video thanks for posting.

[daviddalbylive]

The Banksters invented the term Conspiracy theory to fool the dumb sheeple, the fact is a conspiracy is 2 or more people planning for their own BENEFIT & DETRIMENT to OTHERS. That happens every day. Companies conspire to rig prices and do hostile takeovers, football teams conspire to win the cup, plus the planning is done behind closed doors in secret ;)

[sharkattacksteve]

Cult members and conspiracy theorists are alike in so many ways.

[SytrusISurtys]

@sharkattacksteve ignorance & children are alike in so many ways. Just shut up, why don't you put a little substance behind your statement? Because your a drone that doesn't really think independently.

[rinseoutdrycleaner]

conspiracy theorist is a pretty general term which carries a certain stigma with it...what's wrong with 'thoughful people'?

[sharkattacksteve]

I'll LOL'ed at the end when he basically says that people are sheep and if you get behind him and his 3 % of people who think alike you could rule the world !

A quick internet search reveals this person to have zero academic credentials and a long history of bizarre beliefs and extreme ideology. Mr Griffin believes that laetrile is a cure for cancer and that Noah's Ark was real just for starters and it only gets worse from there.

[neverquit1299]

@sharkattacksteve Hey f*ck face I just went on wikipedia and it says he has a bachelors from the university of michigan, and not that wikipedia is reliable at all but you go the same info about laetrile from wikipedia (I am sure) and you said he has no academic credentials. So shut the f*ck up until you have some facts to bring to the table, the adults are talking here the kiddie table is in the corner go count something.

[sharkattacksteve]

@neverquit1299 Hey douchebag he has a degree in communications so he's qualified to be Ted Baxter but not Christopher Hitchens or Richard Dawkins or Kenneth Galbraith which in his deluded paranoid megalomaniac mind he believes he is.

He's not an academic or an intellectual, he's a just a whack job like yourself.

[neverquit1299]

@sharkattacksteve Oh so he has to have a degree to read books, do research and write? Kind of like how you have to have a degree in business to run a legitimate successful business right? Oh wait no you fucking don't, I have a million dollar real estate portfolio and have little college education. Yet there are thousands of "educated/academic" individuals who haven't done shit with there degree.

[neverquit1299]

@sharkattacksteve Just because the mindless population says you have to have a degree to be legit doesn't mean shit. Robert Kiyosaki "rich dad poor dad" author and self made multi millionaire agrees how is that for a legit intellectual.

[jedimaster303]

This is super Alex.

I am so thankful for Edward Griffin, one of our society's more significant contributors of realpolitik truth.

[MyWordizBond]

Fuck the Canadian government also btw

[MyWordizBond]

history shows the tyrans are defeated. I'm sure 3% of the army is aware, and the war vets are extremely pissed off over this.

[orthosrich]

What about OWS????

[rightonjeff]

Dead on about almost everything until he discredits himself at the end with the chemtrail hoax :(

[WinefrideofWales]

@rightonjeff You need to educate yourself about chemtrails and look with your own eyes at what is going on. Watch "What in the world are they spraying" and examine the difference between contrails and chemtrails. Don't be foolishly optimistic.

[wisdomtrek]

To give you an idea as to how BANKRUPT "mainstream media" is I've learnt more listening to this documentary in the last 8:19 sec's then the cumulative of a lifetime listening to MSNBC and ilk. :P MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS TREASONOUS IN THE TREACHERY LEVIED AGAINST THE BODY POLITIC.

[IHighLikePlane]

Doesn't he know that the Tea Party was started and is funded by the Koch brothers? Of course the elites want less government and more "freedom" to spend their money as they see fit.

The biggest powers today aren't governments, they are the wealthy corporations, bankers, and industry giants. Getting rid of government just takes away their biggest roadblock to attaining more power.

Any economic system that uses money will have an elite, its just the nature of the game. We need a new system.

[metapatriot]

TAX REVOLT NOW  OR YOU ARE A COWARD

[Hectiquin2003]

@naydz hahahhahhahahaha for sure

[ItsAboutWhatUDo]

This is awesome. 

[biozamadotcom]

Look at the riots over a pair of sneakers. The groups is this false society have nothing collective about them. At all.

[jaxeedcom]

@biozamadotcom Good point. That shows how US society is eradicating any notion of a common humanity, replacing it with egocentrism posing as individualism, which coincidentally corresponds nicely with the needs of a commercialized society. Not very surprising then that this type of extreme selfish behavior is kind of unique for USA, which arguably is the most commercialized in the world.

[biozamadotcom]

@jaxeedcom Unique to the USA? Don't know about that. Seems many Euro countries have immigrant problems of people who come to take more than to give. It's absolutely affecting their politics.

[jaxeedcom]

@biozamadotcom Yes, unique for USA. Pepperspraying or physically fighting other customers for a products is not happening so much in Europe. What you think about immigration is actually changing the subject.

[biozamadotcom]

@jaxeedcom Pepper spraying, physically fighting, we have seen similar riots in Greece, Italy, London, where yes, they say it's over politics or oppression and yet, end up looting.

[jaxeedcom]

@biozamadotcom You are comparing apples and oranges now. Kind of telling that you must dismiss the political nature of those riots to make the very weak point that there was looting (which also is something different then what we are discussing). You still can't find any examples people xmas shopping and pepperspraying or fighting each other in order to get their hands on a product.

[biozamadotcom]

@jaxeedcom One can find it in order to get their hands on social services though.

[jaxeedcom]

@biozamadotcom Really? You've got examples of poeple fighting each other in order to get their hands on social services? I didn't know that was limited to whoever gets there first.. lol

[biozamadotcom]

@jaxeedcom Have heard it straight from the horses mouth in Belgium.

[jaxeedcom]

@biozamadotcom So you are relying uppon anectodal evidence now. Ok! I think you see my point despite refusing to acknowledge it. Merry Christmas :-)

[jaxeedcom]

First off, both democrates and republicans are essentially right-wing, mostly just serving the financial elites only, hence his theory is built uppon flimsy evidence right there. Seconly, individualism and collectivism are not mutually exclusive, as we are social animals which is why we build our societies as collaborations, though that does not imply this happens at a loss of individualism. Third, just the fact that he uses the rhetoric term "democrat party", proves Griffin hold a certain bias.

More truth and wisdom in this 90 minute video than 3 or 4 college educations could provide. Scary......enough of us better wake up or we lose everything important.

[WarzSchoolchild]

0:14:20 ~ The word "Subsidiarity" is an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority. (The Oxford English Dictionary).... G.Edward Griffin is correct a World Government based on the principle of "Subsidiarity" might be a beautiful thing? Big Government ONLY! for issues that 'require' big government.

outstanding presentation by this chap....read jekyl 15y ago - re-read it 10y ago then again in 070-8...it helped me avoid the crash of 08..it was amazing to see the rest of the world come around to what he had already told us--in 09-10 or so,,....i fear he is reprising his previous, insightful feat of prognostication....

glenn beck is a major media puppet. what a joke he is

[dan2000eve]

@knightkd63 Puppet? Whose puppet? Soros's puppet ? Banksters puppet ? FED's puppet ? Congress puppet? CNN's puppet ? NBC's puppet ? ABC's puppet ? CBS's puppet ? what a joke u are !!

[bulletproof2353]

when people try to do it at home with coat hangersand bleach and kerosene like before, for people eho say they want government out of their lives and that government intervention only brings problems isnt that totally hypocritical? lets see, drug prohibition=total failure,more drug use,alcohol prohibition=total failure,more use, gun prohibition=total failure, prostitution prohibition=total failure, so why would anyone thing the government should be involved in prohibiting abortion?

[bulletproof2353]

on there issues when it is not ,it should be up to you ,your church or your religion ,as long as there tax money isnt paying for it it shouldnt matter ,either way ,they are ok with their tax monet going to kill millions of civilians in foreign lands and all for that, but if the government dont want to get involved in telling women they cant flush a few cells down a toilet ,watch out,& like if it wre illegal it would stop it, just like drugs right?just like before ,it will only lead to more death

[bulletproof2353]

the establishment is terrified of both or any of these movement comming together and uniting against it, that why they use these wedge issues that government has no business being involved in the first fucking place to divide people along party lines ,i wish ron would or could come out and say that abortion prohibition is anti libertarian ,but i think it would be politicl suicide because these bible thumping religious fanatics have all been brainwashed that it the governments job to dictate

[bulletproof2353]

griffin is right that collectivism = communisn ,marxism and that both parties are for it , they are afraid of the tea party and the ows crowd comming together and uniting against them ,ows should be against both parties too since obama was funded totally by and is a puppet of wall st, and put all goldman saks people in or left them in,and corporate execs and people from kay st.like that video on here titled what cnn dont want you to see again

[bulletproof2353]

one of the biggest problems are the social wedge issues that even people like rop paul ,a libertarian can not even come out against fully, like abortion, let ypu church or your religion dictate to you wheater or not abortion is right or wrong, same with gay marrige ,the government has no business dictating morality or restricting civil rights or abortion, its caller seperation of church and state, and abortion is just a form of prohibition ,which we know does not work,

[gitarysk]

the tea party is a bunch of corrupt scum financed by the Koch brothers and organized by scumbag Karl Rowe

[dyne313]

Maybe we should listen to these politicians. The democrats tell us the republicans suck, and vice versa.

So I agree. The republicans and democrats suck.

[lonewolfmtnz]

@dyne313 surely you meant the demonrats and repugnantcunts? Both continuously reminds you of how unfair life is and the then makes certain it stays that way.

[dan2000eve]

Absolutely NOT TRUE in respect to Glen Beck !!!

- Left and Right, Republicans, Bush, New World Oder, FED, Collectivists, …

Just watch his shows !

[sandmarch7]

@dan2000eve Not true as in what about Glen Beck? Beck mixes in so much spin with what little truth he does work on it only helps to confuse those who get all of their "facts" from the television & his radio shows and never cross-reference anything he says for themselves. Glen Beck is a shill, if thats what you meant many people agree. His repeat listenership has plunged in the recent year

[dan2000eve]

@sandmarch7

Where are your facts? - just confusion?!

Should I direct you to his shows on Bush and other "republicans", Soros, New World Order, Constitution, FED... - these are the FACTS !!

But you probably never saw his shows.

[sandmarch7]

@dan2000eve I (foolishly) watched him while he was on FOX up to nearly a year back. He presents all of those topics as a paranoid nut would and is purposefully making it seem as if a taboo to go along with him lest you wish to seem as far flung as he is. Griffin said he predominantly stays away from criticizing the republicans and for the most part that is very true. I would challenge you to come up with more episodes where he criticizes right policy rather than left and tally them

[dan2000eve]

@sandmarch7 "Griffin said" ? If he is 100% right on "Collectivist Conspiracy" it doesnt mean he is righ on Glenn! Just for starter

i cant help my self..i was gong to stop acting retarded .. but i cant ..lol ok so we have been rule for the last 7000 years by 1% of a super powerful and smart monkeys elite ..and the other 99% of super retarded poor and hopeless pot smoking slaves hippies have no idea whats going on...ok so that is why we have a super cool and nice government ..you see our governments help the 99% of the people to feel better about been a fucking retarded monkey by making then pay good taxes ..lol...

[TroySmithforD]

thank god for youtube. I would never listen to such lectures and learn as much as i do now.

[MrPurplebubble]

brilliant



[Dwyer084]

Seems the mentions of Ron Paul's campaign are all past tense as if it is over (starts at 0:17:14), have I missed something?

[sugershakify]

@Dwyer084 He is referring to the 2008 election

[matsakenclaq]

@Dwyer084 RP ran in 2007-2008 as a republican...you might not remember and it can possibly be because of the media blackout...exactly what E.G.Griffin is explaining. ;)

[xxxlastmigxxx]

your propaganda is not working ...you have nothing ...we have to respect our governments they are our only hope ..we must give out governments even more power so we can be protected from the evil terrorist..this guy is crazy and is also retarded ..this video must be deleted from the internet ..lol lets pay more taxes and help our super cool government win the 1000 wars they fighting all over the freaking world ..lol lol lol fucking retarded monkeys pay more taxes ..ahahahhaha..

great interview from a true ,wise man

thanks G. Edward Griffin

GOD BLESS YOU

[selfsenter]

but they molded modern life and society before people had the internet and media diversified...look at them now grasping to hold on to an aged model of governance that defies our nature ...time will make it fall

[frankkaarl]

Hard to avoid the truth. NDAA. Right wants military budget. Left wants societal control. Suddenly they both have want they wanted. There is no right or left. Only one master to whom both are enslaved. Only to retain what they have by sacrificing the people.

[keats27]

The truth in what this guy is saying should be extremely disturbing...not so that it should be turned off or ignored, but more like a kidney stone...making it impossible to sit still.

[deutschbuch30]

G. Edward Griffin, You are truly a great man; All RESPECT and God bless you.

[selfsenter]

Its 2011 anyone can be a historian with google

[daniel7899999]

When you read the definition of collectivism and individualism, they both seem good. It's just when they are taken to the extreme and become oppressive that it becomes a problem. There is no perfect system I guess. The only situation in which there would be no societal problems is if you were living alone in the wilderness or trapped on some tropical island with nobody else. Ron Paul was right. We should reduce the size of government cause they can't get anything right.

[ArchaicReality]

Thats why voting is a waste of time because the candidates have already been chosen. I am not referring to small hometown politics but statewide and national elections.

[pf611]

He used to call it the Capitalist Conspiracy. Why the change?

[BillSalem]

I don't know anybody who's interested in a New World Order with banks at the top. Offhand I would say that such a structure is a conservative's dream and a liberal's nightmare. Although the banks are itching to rule the world their way, 99% of the bankers are liars and robbers. They are what they fear most. All Power is illegitimate. Just now there is only one party and that's the money party; collectivism is not the common ground. The collective live in the land of the lotus eaters.

[uneekking85]

One thing I've learn is that the moment I started listening to Prison Planet, Alex Jones channel and others is that sheeples will always want to remain sheeples.

[deutschbuch30]

You need the individualist party advocating small government.

[chvyant]

Im glad I took a look at this, he puts it all together so well and fairly simple.

[louiethegreater]

Thanks Mr. Griffin, you are putting into words, what I have known for years. Ron Paul is just another establishment candidate. If he weren't he would speak out on the fact that Globalization is driven by Free Trade and neo-liberalism.

[Dolphster69]

RON PAUL is the only one telling us this very same thing RON PAUL 2012

[Elephantintheroom01]

The cooption of the tea party was one of the saddest things ive seen in my lifetime.

However the mistake will be shortlived as we more onto biggern and better forums for our thoughts. No matter what the media does.

[TAZSOB]

hello....

[Elephantintheroom01]

Well, the Nazis mean national socialists, so the idea that THEY are the opposite of communists shouldnt be taken seriously as they are a political ploy.

Mussolini the true fashist said the phrase:

"nothing outside the state, everything within the state, nothing against the state"

And the main aim of communism is:

'the state should own all private property'

You now realise that these are almost exactly the same in practice.
