wtf, has this now turned into the glenn beck show? creepy.

[zhdlot]

subtle zionistic undertones you have to see through the silver tounge.

[1515alanruiz]

All this is based in that 9/11 was not an inside job. I think I lost my time.

[KageX9]

@butterybuttable I like that you point out flaws in stefbot's arguments, but I am failing to see the strength of your rebuttle. Cheers!

[KageX9]

@butterybuttable There certainly are flaws in this video. That being said, what is the casual relationship between the growth of the Chinese economy and the rise of commodity consumption? People are eating more food, buying more clothes, burning more fuel, using more electricity, etc. simply because China's economy is doing exceptionally well? What's more, China has started buying the natural resources of countries such as Austrailia to support its own rapidly growing economy and population.

[ddsharper]

Are you aware of Africom?

[donsuave2012]

your argument is faulting. you leave out of the formula those who planned and carry out the robbery of the stock market by commodity inflation and taxes. and manufacturing of those weapons on both sides of those wars.The.double-ing of the assets of those who have assets and the lost of those who have what the had taken from them by lost of employment by that 'controlled lie' called a moral war. war is a business of robbing the poor of their lands, rights , futures by money basis.alcada is cia

[butterybuttable]

You jump from a depiction of the costs of war to examples of a precipitous rise in the price of commodities. Post hoc ergo propter hoc: you fail to explicate how one has a causal relationship with the other. There are other, more commonly accepted, explanations for recent price increases: e.g., a flight to value in response to the credit crunch, and the rise in commodity consumption due to China's rapidly growing economy. It is an act of bad faith to not address causality in your argument.

[bluefly28]

ever worry that ur gonna get shot by a fed stef? lol

[jennybn]

stay asleep! miss the message for 1 or 2 errors! how dumb is that? the main message is get the fuck out of war, it pays no one! and is generated by who gives a shit? 1 thing you can be sure of the instigators ain't on the front line on either side!

[TSMPimpDaddyPain]

Well Stef, we still haven't been given the actual facts about what really happened on 9/11. The official story is obviously a complete white washed farce.

The powers that be may have just used Al-Qaeda as a convenient scapegoat to drum up support for Middle East wars.

[GLICKTON]

we could stop all this in a day if everyone realised the bankers have taken over the world, all we would have to do is stand together and tell the government we dont want these private banks and that we want the government to print their own after we have ratted out the shits in government, shrink it down to size

[GLICKTON]

@lorerax1 wow this guy really knows nothing apart from what hes learned from manipulated mainstream media lol

[GLICKTON]

@lorerax1 i dont think hes heard of the money masters who set up the private banks across the globe lol, i should have his job :P

[dwhiteside327]

Go with it Stefan...Keep putting out True News...

[ostralopithicus]

I hope you've learned more since you did this one Stefan. It's funny to have to say that YOU are underestimating the viciousness of government leaders - by blaming 9/11 on al-qaeda. You know Hitler took down the Reichstag right? You know that all the jet fighters on 9/11 were off on a wild goose chase because of Dick Cheney right? You've claimed empiricism before theory, I hope you look into the facts before accepting the GOVERNMENT'S conspiracy theory.

[MELESAKUEHN]

I've been following your work & for the most part I agree with you 100%, although there are a couple things you should be made aware of. Overwhelming evidence indicates 9-11 was an inside job. Also the banksters really do own the planet - the banks, the major media, the corporations, the natural resources, the property, even the people! They own it all because they money is created out of thin air. It is not backed by anything!

[brickmastertube]

@MELESAKUEHN

That's not really the bankers' fault that money is counterfeited (aka created out of thin air). Its only the government that enables this. Without the violent monopoly granted by the state, bankers are powerless.

[MELESAKUEHN]

[SuperAutomaton]

I hope that you will later address how "WAR" is the central pillar upon which our society, and every civilization that has ever existed, is based. War is vital for the survival of the state, and the state's only aim is self-preservation.

PEACE!!

[SuperAutomaton]

Stefbot- I appreciate your channel very much. I wanted to watch your true news series from the beginning. 1 down.

At the end of this video, you challenge people to come to terms with their moral complacency with war in order for them to recognize their own roles in bringing about this shithole financial situation we find ourselves in. Very good, but its a somewhat simplistic explanation of the financial crisis. In Oct. 2008, however, Im sure that it was very prescient.

[Frettsy]

stef, Al Qaeda didn't attack us on 9/11. the CIA doesn't even list 9/11 as one of the reasons Bin Laden is public enemy #1.

[dttnwo]

you philosophy is roght on- nietzche's statement that everything the state says is a lie is not wasted here

[peaveyblazer158]

we now what the government is doing but they don't

[CreatorChannel]

To clarify my comment below. "Anarchy" "anarchist' is like "communist " ..etc.. a word that is a fear based ideological tool used by those that wish to maintain that status quo.

[CreatorChannel]

Anarchy is not a natural state of social animals and if you think about this NOT possible nor is there any precedented case of such throughout humanity... not even in New Orleans after Katrina.. save Blackwater..

the baker needs flour and tables, the carpenter, wood and tools, the banker needs bread.. "anarchy" is a complete fabrication on the order of calling ordinary humans "barbarians" versus us the socialites'...

[Zen5012]

@CreatorChannel

I disagree. The baker can have flour without Government.

Anarchy does not demand chaos, that is, referencing your comment comparing communist, a lie. Social order is not derived from a collection of humans which have been given a monopoly of force and the right to initiate violence.

How could it?

If you do not believe that humans can exist and flourish without the constant threat of lethal force, i.e. Government, that speaks lowly for your opinion of humans.

[45a14]

I'm confused? What is the real definition of Anarchism? I thought it was about destruction of the government inducing chaos? Can someone enlighten me?

[FunkmasterA997]

@45a14

Anarchists are against violence. The government is defined as "a group of people that are allowed to use violence," therefore anarchists are against the government.

Anarchists believe that society's problems would be better solved by peaceful means.

[CreatorChannel]

@45a14 governments r not the source of order

[Fruerik]

What a loveable dude. I really love anarchists hence I love myself.

[angelpbj]

great message!

[bioshock909]

so what we should do is strike the heart of the beast (goverment) as to defeat the monster(goverment) as my father once told me '' you must destroy all that is evil so that what is good can flurish'' so destroy the goverment and we save the united states of america. And bye the way i am a 14 year old canadian boy and this i my understanding of this subject so i would aprechate comments and feedback and dont pay attenchien to my videos i just posted those to keep my account open. thank .

[lorerax1]

Does this guy even know the Federal Reserve is a Private Bank and how the federal reserve prints money?

[stefbot]

I certainly do.

[lorerax1]

Do you also know about these various topics

The Builderburg group

Zionism

Free Masonry

the 9/11 inside job ppl

The Jesuits, Vatican, Economic Hitman

Where Food comes from, Chem trails, UFO, Depleted Uranium, your rights, ect

Its just you you know what's going on, but you can't. You can only tell portions of the truth. Truths are meant to be discovered for oneself.

[FunkmasterA997]

If he should discover it for himself, then quit telling him he's wrong. -_-

[lorerax1]

lol that's a new lesson I've never heard before.

Good I'm learning. Thanks mate.

"Teaching is the true path towards learning" - ahh holy crap

So ...... Teaching people to Teach must be like the ultimate ability to learn. ha ha holy fuck. (I should really stop cussing.) I seriously need some adderal.

[alfalfa31]

What he's teaching is something you need to learn.

Most of the people who know about the topics you've outlined, only know based on the research of others (meaning you're all parrots).

Knowing about those topics means essentially nothing if you have no capacity to analyse them in their proper context, and formulate solutions. Without learning the philosophies behind the "Bilderberg" or "Zionist" mindset, you're just screaming at trees.

[lorerax1]

It makes sense. I guess I probably shouldn't make any excuses.

Wait, (this is kind of a life question), but like if I know doctors cure diseases for people, people protest for things they don't like, and computer scientists work on computers....

like if you know a lot of basics, doesn't that mean you have a better understanding of how the world works?

Like if I went into the details, I wouldn't have time to look at the other things.

(I'm that weird person, whose mind doesn't stop thinking)

[bashia]

@stefbot neo conservatives have done around the world what they're doing to the U.S. now. Get us bankrupt, in debt, then move in and privatize everything. But you think this is about Bin Laden? Let me know. I'm really curious about this. BTW--I for one was out there marching and writing against the Iraq war and have been against all the U.S. wars around the world since I started realizing what was going on due to the Iran Contra affair.

But what if Al-Quada doesnt exist? and what if it is just another lie to get more money out of the public domain into the private conpanies around the armies? Ever thought about that?

[freemarketeer67]

I am watching this because of the link at Strike the Root

[WarDogLRS]

Government creates the crises and offers the solution

[romm95]

war is good because the bankers can get governments in further debt, the arms manufacturers can get 'government aid' to produce their arms which has spin offs. Boeing makes commercial planes as well as fighter jets, IBM made the PC with government help. Its all a transfer of money fro tax payers to billionaires and the system sustains this. The Iraq war will be paid for by selling Iraqi oil and taking a cut

[gosmokesome]

I dont think anyone intends on paying this wardebt off

[romm95]

Stefbot

I think you are wrong that "freedom fighters" were trained by the US as an economic war with Soviet Russia.

Do not misunderstand, the US did train the Afghan freedom fighters to fight Russia, that is true. But Soviet Russia was also supported by the west, it only lasted as long as it did because of 'western aid'. The Cold War was a fake war created to allow the re-ordering of the world, an excuse, breaking eggs to make omelets. International terrorism has the same function, war is good

[JeffHilliard]

yeah kill people!!! More War!!! More War!!! Go Eugenics!!!!

[noselfnoproblemo]

Ive been conciously trying to shrug off the fucked up way this world trains one to think for 20 years now and i still fall for traps of controll and "mind controll" all the time. I hate the system but i love it too sometimes. But I know deep down its all so broke. Half the world lives for less than four dollars a day. I take personal responsibility for that stat. "Period" Do you? Rethorical =)

[mikeybrumbrum]

Hi, for every action or thought you perform (in Britain), 10,000 others have the same thought or action at the same time. 10,000 others (minimum) are now typing.

Therefore, you are not alone in your thoughts.

Have you yet reached the conclusion, that communism appears to eb the only way out, for us ? I would love ot have free happy england, but its nt that way, and Royalists seem to pop up from nowhere, and shout and insult people for not paying bills they cant pay (or for ANY excuse actually)

[mikeybrumbrum]

The constant harrassment of water billss, counil tax, road tax, and many other factors, mean that, rather than sit at home and ride the storm of recession, whilst trying to market and grow my business back up from the floor, I am now FORCED to sign on the dole, and give up work.

This is because it costs me money to do NO work. I have to PAY, even tho the phone no longer rings (plumber).

This system will FORCE me onto the dole, rather than stop attacking me for money !

COMMUNISM is FREEDOM !

[noselfnoproblemo]

If you cant feel/see the huge elephant in the room your broken. A huge change in kneejerk ways of thinking is nessesary.

[DeeperBlueX16]

wow, america fell for that cheap trick? thats just plain stupid, man

[Aquar1uZ]

I forgot to mention that Al Qaeda is a CIA product. It does not exist as portraid!

Stop the bankers, stop government, stop the conspiracy against true personal freedom.

Thanks for your effort Stephan!

[ocred13]

Foreign enemies? Try the White House.

Of course, D.C. is not a state. It is like the City in London, or the Vatican in Rome.

These are separate, corporate entities... And if you say that foreign enemies attacked America on 9-11 and that these people operated mainly from these places, then you are correct.

But there is no such thing as Al Qaeda. It is a smokescreen, invented to name the "guilty party".

9-11 was Hegelian dialectic at its finest... Create the problem, then provide the solution.

[kshinji]

interesting

a funny remark tough - if you ever played Starcraft (the first one from 97') the talking head in a small square box is really recalls the game :D if you know what i mean, you will notice all the subtle affinities ^^ way he moves, accents his words, the colors of this video :D etc.

[HCLivess]

and why do you think that they do it? because they are an evil state? maybe something to do with power groups... which are not a socialist invention

[mishimasan]

Yeah that's what I realized just before I was going to search for "Stef New World Order" ;)

[teewillis1981]

War is not a football game. We actually can win? Who is "we"? How does an individual "win" a war? I can see how the collective operates under the delusion that they can "win" a war. What do you win?

[rileyyielding]

Brilliant Stef! I hope this voice is heard and understood and resonated by a wide audience. Thank you!

[elmargritzi]

I think the vast majority of people hate bad news that involves them. When we are children and we first start to realize we are mortal, we don't want to believe it. The way not to believe is to become irrational - thus religion suits the human need and if not religion then some other form of fantasy or irrational thought. I think this may also be the case with certain political realities. It is only a very few people who ever face reality square on. And I am not sure why those few bother.

[gypster2004]

[BuzzMcTank]

I really appreciated the Statism is Dead videos.

However, I had to stop this one about 7 minutes in. Regarding 9-11: the evidence for 9-11 being an inside job is overwhelming. Please look at the evidence.

[MrSammo1]

obviously this guy never read PNAC.

But then again...most people who think they are intellectual haven't.

[mspookie]

Tomahawk missiles do not cost $20K but a lot more.

[stefbot]

I really was talking about 1980, the weapons that the US government provided to the mujahedin in Afghanistan...

[MrDarkbloom]

@stefbot What wisdom! 'Stefan says' TRAFFIC LIGHTS are COERCION! When you stop at a red light, you are humiliating yourself as a human! SPEED LIMITS are VIOLENCE! How dare anybody else impose a limit on how fast you can drive! You drive at the point of a gun. Everywhere a GUN! A GUN! GUN! GUN!

[dooglio]

@MrDarkbloom If you don't think traffic lights represent coercion, then go ahead and run them. If a cop sees you do this then turns on his lights to pull you over, keep driving--ignore him/her. See if violence is used to stop you.

[mspookie]

196,000 troops in Iraq?

LOLz!

You just blew your cred.

[stefbot]

Thank you, I meant Iraqi and Afghanistan, I appreciate the correction... :)

[xsfear]

You have to look at the Fed, why this was created, who controls it and were the power is. It's not the terrorists that have the most to gain because they want our freedom. It's the international bankers that make MONEY ON OUR DEBT. Also control of resources in IRAQ. 9/11 was an inside job to rape America and it's economy for those few elites that have the most to gain on a global level. WE NEED A NEW SYSTEM AND TO EXPOSE THERE TACTICS FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER.

[yourboycal]

winners write history :p learning history in schools is just learing the winners side

[VCADD]

we oil the jaws of the war machine,and feed them with our babies

[globalmedium]

Stef, Al Quaeda is a distraction, 911 was an inside job!

[fredsisland]

@ globalmedium

Making the comment, that 911 was an inside job gave you so many thumbs down , it's SCARY!!

How can so many be so blind, all they have to do is imagine the twin towers falling without explosives and see it falling and crumbling without all that dust.

Bush and Cheyney must be the best hypnotist, or have that body-languish which says shut the fuck up or else

[DionysusAlS]

Stef, If by al Qaeda you mean Israel, I agree with you.

[lukeev]

Lovin' it!!!

[websnarf]

This is a very useful discussion, but I think you are making an implicit assumption that the war has directly caused the economic collapse, which I don't think you made (and am skeptical you CAN make) a good case for.

I think both are either coincident or related more centrally to the common problem of complete government failure over the past 8 (and possibly more) years.

[websnarf]

Patriotism is a distraction to keep sane people from organizing and mobbing the government with protest. There is no cure for nationalism; blaming them is pointless.

We have to ask ourselves is why was the cabal supporting Cindy Sheehan's protest of Bush at his ranch so small? Why are we allowing the Democrats to take credit for being anti-war when they have NOT actually taken such a position?

As long as we have our Xboxes (AKA SOMA) we will not rise and do what it takes to fix our country.

[lukeev]

He's not making that assumption. Watch some of the other videos on his website, they're excellent. The root cause of all our problems is, essentially - violence, which has the knock-on effect of just about everything; from the manipulation of the money supply and mass poverty, to rape, murder and war. Governments are founded upon theft & violence, therefore it becomes inevitable so long as people support them. The justification of violence stems from childhood physical & psychological abuse.

[websnarf]

I have looked at some of them. He is a self-identified anarchist. Not surprisingly he uses truncated arguments so that his point of view looks more compelling than it really is.

Theft and violence are human nature. Different governments just have a different degree of it. I don't understand how anarchy would help.

Why not look at the *good* parts of governments and try to understand what made them happen? Does anarchy preserve all that?

To me, problem solving sounds better than giving up.

[lukeev]

The 'solution' is to reject all violence! It is practical and very effective. You can start immediately! Government is not a solution, it is a big problem, as it is inherently violent and unjust, thus by supporting government you are supporting violence. There is no good part of violence! But hey, anarchy simply means 'without masters', isn't that a worthwhile goal? I'd call myself a 'voluntarist'. Isn't a voluntary, rational, peaceful and mutually beneficial society what we're all striving for?

[ybworld]

Nope. Little children are 'cute' because they are innocent and loving and sweet. THAT is human nature. The aggression and violence are copied from those older and those around. If violence is our nature, ask how many fights you have been in in the last decade? And how old are you? No one wants to fight. I'm sure you did not come on here to fight or steal as you made that comment.

[joshv89]

[dover1982]

I always love these videos Stef. Your long 1-2 hours interviews are interesting as well, but these are so great because they explain big important issues in a way that anyone can understand them and their causes.

Keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts!

[DrKaoliN]

Lovely!

[supercoolkid83]

great stuff!

[muzzleray]

Nice suit.

[Mahoivlich]

Stef have you read Naomi Wolf's last 2 books? If so what did you think?

[jmeiskues]

Way to keep that revolutionary spirit alive Stef, much respect sir.

[mport1]

Great video!

[Katakato]

While I may not agree with a lot of what you say in some of your other podcasts, videos, and such...I do think that your perception of economics and current events (particularly concerning the fundamental causes for the current economic mess) is spot on. Well done sir.

[Burnaby1]

Hey! you're not wearing any pants!

;)

[roccosocko]

Outstanding video Stef! The new current events channel will be a great resource for people who want an honest perspective on the news, or who try to ignore the mainstream news garbage completely.

[ARCHETECTONIC]

FUCK YEAH Stef, keep doing this, keep on rocking the free-market-world!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[benson471]

thanks for these. can't wait for more.

[D4Shawn]

Good stuff!

[ithinkronpaulissmart]

This video is the greatest thing ever made.

[Astalith]

Well done Stef, I'd love to see the new channel!

[adorianvlad]

Hey, Stef, you look so sharp, tonight, Sir!

Nice job, indeed! Looking forward for part 2.

[mcphilthy]

Great idea! 5 stars!

[LatinYoung20]

heyyyyy, great new idea! i really like it, grats Stef!

[D4Shawn]

I say 86 z politician look. If you must wear a suit, try it with a T-Shirt and some wayfarers... maybe some jeans ala Tom Cruise in Risky Business circa 1983. It's much better IMO to err on z side of movie star. Politicians are lying bastards, so why dress like 'em? And lets face it, those who rise to z top of the business world in this fairly unsavory corporatist plutocracy aren't z greatest role models either. Trusting people in suits these days is well.. risky business (but in a bad way).

[rudyhenkel]

Excellent, though I'm not sure how pointing out people's mistakes will appeal to a larger audience. =D Worth trying, though.

[snipa4lyfe]

Solid! Maybe add a little jingle or pre-video intro thing that stays consistent throughout the series?

[stackedmidgets]

Jingle sounds like a good idea...

[Chloe0418]
