John Perkins: Americans Voted for Change, Now What?

[justgivemethetruth]

We are so manipulated … we wanted serious change, and now all they do is put up ridiculous Republicans to justify keeping this Obama decoy in office as a Democrat when if we are honest, the Republicans are clowns and Obama is the real Republican, the real proponent of the status quo. And if they can do this, confuse the hell out of Americans every 4 years there will be no end to it. And is something did come along to challenge things they would kill them as fast as they would a non-American.

[CricketHubbs]

We will get change....its happenning!

[donovan93123]

WATCH C-SPAN!

[arzoyan]

The dominance of minority criminal interest moralised and legalised as FREE MARKET is the wage slavery of immense humanity in a useless employment system, for this dehumanisation to be a permanent feature, the ruling elite have used all means available to stupify majority, we have to do our all to fight back and organise for a democratic majority movement for a world of cooperation for our common needs and well being in harmony within and without, we shall prevail

[waterchildtera]

about 5 cents

[antimasonics]

more cruel than war criminals! & he's the real terorist !

[chefawkes]

".. and we're gonna get it back." I can't understand with all that he's seen, that he can actually believe this statement.

[lalox3003]

@chefawkes Its called hope

[chefawkes]

@lalox3003

ahhhhh yes. i believe i had some of that "hope" before. mixed in with a little "change". all i remember is be extremely disappointed. no, i think i'll stick with cold, calculated reasoning.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

John Perkins "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"

Obama himself is an "economic hit man." Do a search on this

"The question that may never go away: Who really is Barack Obama?" killinghope

William Blum explains NYT reported Obama worked for Business International Corporation. He goes on to say NYT forgot they reported in 1977 Business International Corporation worked as a front for CIA operations.

I found the NYT articles, but I can't post the links on Youtube.

[HailRasec]

Sigh***

KellMcMillan is always spouting stupidity and ignorance in every video I stumble upon.

How is John Perkins a communist ? He supports old school capitalism, he says it in his book.

You sir need to shut up because in 10 -15 more years you're gonna be dead, and we the youth will have to inherit this sickening planet your generation has created.

Video: 33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know

[mawhar]

KenMcMilan, I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about. You're trying to get people to believe that you know more about economics than the guy being interviewed, and that he is "Marxist." Yeah, a guy who worked for corporations doing exactly what he's telling you about, was a closet commie the whole time. Not like he just grew a conscience, some balls, and then started telling the truth about his former job. Dumbass.

[KenMacMillan]

This guy's another Marxist.

[gizmo2084]

You mean, corporate funded assassinations (MURDER) are for "freedom" and "liberty?"

Ah, ok...(rolleyes)

[KenMacMillan]

What corporate funded assassinations are you talking about?

[gizmo2084]

Educate yourself...it's not that difficult, really.

watch?v=yTbdnNgqfs8

[MrXfromPlanetX]

@ KenMacMillan "corporate funded assassinations"

There have been at least 70 interventions by the US since WWII. Watch Sony Pictures "Why We Fight" PBS 1987 "Secret Government: Constitution in Crisis" John Pilger's "The War on Democracy," and "Breaking the Silence"

You can also read "Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since WWII," "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower," "West-Bloc Dissident,"

"Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire"

[kja5]

Finally a nice dose of TRUTH on ForaTV.

You should delete the Al Gore misinformation/propaganda.

Take the high road!

[KenMacMillan]

America wanted "not bush". It came in the form of communism. Now, according to a new Gallup poll released on Thursday, 44 percent of Americans would be happier with George W. Bush back in the White House. What does that say about peoples oppinion of Obama?

[OptikNerv1138]

you obviously have no idea what communism is, so perhaps you should go find out before using the term again.

[KenMacMillan]

com·mu·nism

1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.

Under this definition it has shown that Marx only had a basic, common knowledge of economics & the system has been proven completely incompitent. Marx nut huggers worship this garbage like a fucking religion.

Continued

[KenMacMillan]

2. Communism

a. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat

Both garbage. Stalin killed 20 million of his own people & Nothing redistributes wealth better than capitalism.

[KenMacMillan]

Mao Zedong killed 40 million. Everybody hates Hitler & that's good, but he's only #3 on the list of worst totalitarian rulers of all time.

"The classes and the races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give way They must perish in the revolutionary holocaust" -- Karl Marx

[gizmo2084]

The reason that many liberals are angry about Obama is precisely because he's doing many of the same things that Bush did regarding the wars.

He's a corporate puppet. Just like Bush.

And please stop with the Stalin/Hitler comparisons. You're sounding like a loon.

[KenMacMillan]

Stalin was worse than Hitler but they were similar. Obama's war policy has obviously been modified by the reality of the Iranian threat. If you mean a corporate puppet for the war machine, I think they would've been happy with his original plan, to take the troops from Iraq & use them in Afghanistan.

[UnderseaCaveman]

The corporations (thru media) sold "Change" (pennies and nickels) to the people...and the people are dumb enough to change their "gold" for Dollars...

Message: Don't give up on the Stock Market, we got tons of ROBOTS to fill our Factories, we can....yes, we can compete with the illiterate Chinese folk/population....

[truefictions]

Those who want the government to have all the power will always be saddened by the fact that humans have greed in their nature and politicians will always promise what only a free people can deliver on a case by case basis.

Peace

[PROFILESophiaYates]

It has been stolen right out from under us. We all have been so distracted with so much that's been dished out at us that focus was lost. It's very frightening 2 know but it's a reality.

[AVTPro]

Amen!! and AMEN!!

[didate]

Nothing was stolen, neither America nor the World. And no, you can't get it back - it was never yours. However, it's up for grabs right now, if anyone has will/power/resources - grab it. Just as Goldman Sachs did.

[RemiG2006]

Americans Voted for Change, Got Status Quo!

[italstal07]

@RemiG2006 they got the leaders they deserve..

[utek11]

@RemiG2006 americans voted for change and received worse then what they had before... it is change in the wrong direction... but we love this smooth talking first black man to be president nobel peace prize winning saving the people of libya spreading peace across the middle east at the barrel of a cannon president. I can't get over how much I love my new big buddy obama! :)

[Jackstowne]

They didn't vote for "change." They voted for a Lieberman "Democrat." Only fools believed he would be anything different.

[eirefrance]

Who was it who said, something like: noone ever went broke underestimating Americans' intelligence?

[frankroto]

"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." -- Henry Mencken

[DeletedDelusion]

You got to beat then where it hurts most, draw your money out of the big greedy banks and set up some alternative banks who's goal is to serve it's costumers first by making them it's owners, a bank that doesn't give out huge risky loans but offers small fair credits to local businesses.

[magichandpuppet]

yes... or take your money out of the banks and buy physical precious metals... taking deliver. This preserves your wealth AND starves the beast.

[Mastikator]

Yes, if you want something to happen you have to do it yourself. This is universally understood but whenever politics and governments enter the equation people think they can just vote and leave the responsibility up to someone else.

Well who do you think is going to be attracted to this? Charlatans, always has been charlatans who get voted in.

*****

[TheDemonPazuzu]

Obama sucks dick.

[bdriz16]

I don't vote...I've never voted. I don't want a fucking leader...I like to believe that I'm doing fine on my own...since when do I need someone else to "change" things for me?

PEOPLE...it is YOU that makes CHANGE.

[drow809]

people dont know this. spread the word

[sanddocon]

@bdriz16 word i feel the same way!

[englishvinal8]

@bdriz16 You are SO right on~!

I've said for years.. WHY do the people in this country continually cry for "leaders"???? Are we animals that must be led? Apparently so......................

We certainly are a bunch of frauds.. going around saying "Oh WE live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave"..... What baseless nonsense... we are groveling slaves with our heads in the sand. And when your head in in the sand, you ARE on your knees! America get OFF your knees.

[xwolflowx]

@englishvinal8 While agree with you for the most part, I don't agree that "We are.. frauds." Alot of people do have their heads in the sand but thats b/c they are unable to realize the truth. They don't know where to look for their epiphanies. They watch the news thinking they are informed but as you know its all a controlled left right paradigm. Most of us are just trying to get by, not causing waves. I've lost my family b/c I caused to many waves so I understand their fear even thg its wrg....

[ahamatmabrahman]

@bdriz16 You are wise, a growing number of people now realize that heads of state are selected by the people who own then rather being elected by the people. Some of us even get the message that the word government actuall translates as mind control, who needs these paracites?

[medliberty]

Obama never promised "radical change". A lot of people were HOPING for that but of course its never going to happen. As long as we keep voting for the same folks (Dems and Repugs) we are going to keep getting the same results. A strong third party challenge might turn things around so dont vote for the traditional politicians. Vote Nader or Gravel or Paul, anyone but the usual political hacks.

[DeletedDelusion]

or presidential candidates should run on public money, they should not be allowed to take any money from big corporations.

[Aaberg123]

A strong third party is almost impossible in the current system Look up "proportional representation" vs "majoritarian election".

[arcanist9]

I still am dismayed that so many people thought that, if they could just elect some half-Black man in office whose mantra is "change," something different would happen. He's just as corrupt as the rest of them. I'm not a republican, but Ron Paul was this country's best bet if we really wanted something different. But Perkins is right. Change is not going to happen if the public continues to be complacent and lazy.

[cokmobot]

Not that I don't agree, but people always bring this rhetoric and seldom explain how to follow through. "We've got to get it back!" OK, how? 

Does working through your representative work? Isn't the problem that they don't actually represent us?

Does demonstrating work? It didn't work under Bush, and evidently it's not working now to the corporatists' satisfaction. If demonstrating does work, how will it happen at a large scale? It's not like people just materialize on the streets.

[arcanist9]

Good questions for certain. My questions are, what was our country like when we "had it?" When has the country ever been "ours?"

[codexbiohazard]

Yes the people did rise up but at what cost!?

The moguls went bat shit crazy and Is now funding Mercenary's and god only knows to terrorize the poor common folk while there "wonderful new leaders" are to incompetent or to stupid to due anything! Right now as we speak there are oil pipes open and leaking into the water sources because no one Is there to take care of them. Yeah sounds fucking great to me...as Pirates loot the open oil pipes that are about to blow and kill any body.

[CosmosPrivateer]

With 156 veiws we are screwed. There isn't enough people that are awake yet.

They are going to need another shot I guess.

[jokerbookshop]

americans are sitting back like a bunch of bitches. we need to get it back alright.

[halo2pc]

"The world has been stolen, and we're going to get it back - we will get it back."

I'm with you all the way.

[realisoph]

This is the spirit of the hour!

Financial corporatocracy... finito.

Stop asking if that's really gonna happen ...make it happen.

Stop fearing the future and start seeing clear.

Even if it were the biggest financial depression... that is not what life is about.

The only people who should really fear that is Big Finance.

Life is about not being a slave to brutal warmongering masters and being brainwashed day in and day out.

Otherwise who'd know if you're not braindead already?

[fruitsofnews]

I propose new terminology. Not "rickrolled" but "baracked". Lets see how that does.

[RenegadeTimes]

Correct...! American's better GET UP and stand or be prepared to kneel down forever ~

[AimiriZ]

*lol rickrolled
