Brilliant and IMO closest to the truth.

Please support the Pirate Party of your respective country.

Also, ask your Pirate Party representative to support the Sovereignty of your country (in addition to freedom of speech and other freedoms which they already rally for).

He sounds like he has been hired to go to
Colleges and other institutions to basically
tell people that they need the elite.. his
other job is to make sure this message
reaches as much of the working class and
middle class as possible

what he is also doing is rationizing the
power elites have over the masses;

this guy has a sinister smile after almost
every sentence.

please note his opinion on the terrible conditions in papa new ginny is "bad luck". how human of him.

how humane.

the EU is a "supra-national " body that just keeps piling hundreds of thousands of pages of "law" on to its population to make it impossible for the common man to be free. the FED and the European Central Bank the ECB and the BIS, bank of international Settlement are destroying all democratic institutions FAST, through removing peoples ability to have enough freedom and wealth to pursue other things than running for work and paying rent

Oh and, all a global institute is going to do is magnify the abuse of power Rothkopf says is happening on a national level.

Sovereignty needs to be decentralized, so does power. Rothkompf is a slick guy, speaking 95% truth, 5% half-truths. He's selling the NWO as a means to protect ourselves from local corruption. Ain't going to happen. The same way the elites have infiltrated our national governments is the same way they will get into the global institutions.

Elitism comes from a disparity in education, disparity in wealth, and a scarcity of resources.

Technology can make all of these disparities negligible and eliminate elitism. Its already happening. 10 years ago, 99.9% of you would never have seen heard or even read about this talk, now millions can watch it for free.

Peace.

What I don't understand is how Rothkopf comes out and says we are getting taken over or ruled by an autocratic oligarchy, then criticizes people that try to fight it.

These people have power because they are insane, the only people that are crazier are people that know this and ignore it or think by joining it they will somehow be spared.

Fight it so that what? So that others can become the new elite? The only way to stop it is to end the nonsensical struggle for oppression of individual rights. That's not what power should be about. The only way to do that is through the advancement of information technology and by organizing and connecting the flow of information to everyone so that we can know about problems and so we are prepared to solve them.

Rothkopf identifies the Bohemian Grove as a key meeting place for the global elite, which I find interesting, because many members have denied that any policy making takes place.

All I know is that Richard Nixon is pictured with Reagan at a time where Reagan was nothing but a B-movie actor and Nixon was a popular politician. This serves as proof that there is indeed an elite, presumably recruited due to genetics, is carefully moulded into positions of power.
