@jake2843 thanks for reminding us miss or mr rockefeller. bs, we the 99% didn't create this system. capitalism did not give we the people a better standard of living. it was the 200 some years of democratic fighting for our piece of the pie from capitalism or window dressing democracy nefarious founders created "to protect the minority opulent from the common people"(Madison). It was just a few Franklin, Mason, etc who gave us the bill of rights. And Reagan to today rolling it backwards.

[jake2843]

good speaker strong historical fact and much of what he speaks about makes total sence. but what he needs to accept is thats the system we have created and thats how it works. good or bad thats the way she is.

on the one hand you think to yourself is this true why is he allowed to expose all this

info...... why isn't he killed...... then you think of the things happening today and you put 2 and 2 together things start making sense.

@VOLightPortal Just because someone makes some money from writing a book doesnt mean that was their original intention. it is my opinion he wrote the book for himself, and then it just took off.

instead of not believing in anything you read or listen to, how about you read and listen to as much information as you possibly can, then make your own, informed, decision about what you believe!?!?!

[man21yn]

@streetwarrior31 it would give his story too much credibility if he was killed by the government. if they leave him alone, deluded and skeptical people are convinced that he is just some crazy person. its a double bluff.

@VOLightPortal He might have made lots of money, but everything he talks about HAPPENED. Jamie Ruldos and Omar Torijjos WERE KILLED in plane crashes because they opposed our OIL companies. This guy is not heard by the masses, so he's not a threat. But everything he talks about makes perfect sense and I would not be surprised that everything happened they way he describes it.
