1. A prophetic interview with Sir James Goldsmith in 1994 Pt1

Sir James Michael "Jimmy" Goldsmith (26 February 1933 18 July 1997) was an Anglo-French financier. Towards the end of his life, he became a magazine publisher and a politician. In 1994, he was elected to represent France as a Member of the European Parliament and he subsequently founded the short-lived eurosceptic Referendum Party in Britain.
In this interview, Sir Goldsmith discusses the ramifications of free-trade agreements that were about to take place in 1994 (GATT), as you can retrospectively see, he correctly predicted many of the things that happened after that.

The scariest thing about this video is that it made me realize that 1994 is almost 20 years ago. How did I get so old?

Truly, there is nothing more liberal than whoring out your responsibility for the people who write big checks.

That's why big business interests reign like gods in Texas and nobody ever holds them accountable for anything. Too many liberal politicians.

Those in power knew all along-- there is no such thing as "speaking truth to power."

We must speak truth to the masses!

Not trying to be snarky, but caring about people's real incomes/buying power over time is Marxist?

I saw this interview 3 years ago for the first time, I keep coming back and watching it again and again and again.

He nailed it on the head, but the those in power aren't willing to acknowledge it.

8:18 to 8:30 Goldsmith tells us why things are so bad in Europe and USA, 20 years before it actually happened.

I'm trying to make habit of taking sources from the 1700's as just as relevant to our lives today as a source coming out tomorrow. Industrial man is the frame to think in, and it was kicking off in that century. Part of me is half tempted to call this video out dated. But that's just book publishers talking.
