Favorite quote, "Let me put it this way: If it were a private company there would be a fire there on Saturday at about four o'clock in the morning." Too darn funny!

I just recently found their work, and I must say, probably the best satirical take on our financial economic structure ever issued in any format.

Im not attacking you im just stating what i no. it doesnt matter WHO the layperson vote for. labor liberal democrats, who gives a shit. they will do what they please. in fact, I dare say the plans for Aus and indeed the whole western world r probably drawn up for the next 20 yrs already !!

@radium01 do something so as to enable his/her own nation to become indebted. u dont think pollies r bought ?? u think they GENUINELY do whats "best" for the nation? u think Julia Gillard gives two hoots about the opinions of the local milk-man? Pollies r bought by corporations as corporations operate within the parametres of rules set by pollies. thats all thereis to it.

ur vote, my vote, dont mean shit.

@radium01 its not conspiracy theory, its called History. and u wonder we kids dont know about Aboriginals went through in this country. cause schools r run by governments, and what the govt doesnt want them to no, dont get taught. its as simple as that. its called "government school" for a reason. they have a stake in the outcome.

with re Greece,they already ARE buying the will of the govt. u think the Greek poloticans r not bought with over borrowing? who in their right mind would (cont)

@radium01 - Sure, I am just for the next bailout to do such investment - It's all about printing some new money :) - Interest comes along but it is just part of the rigged game.

@nafism6969 Someone needs to stop reading conspiracy theories, and start reading up on their economics. You may or may not be right about the West trying to capture developing nation's governments, but it's not through buying their bonds. I couldn't imagine a more counter-productive policy if that was your objective.

By definition, a default would result in Greece not owing it's creditors a cent, so surely buying the will of politicians would be cheaper and more effective?

@FactualSolutions I've got a bridge if you'd like to buy one.

The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) has been showing that we have the ability to generate energy, food, housing, health and education for everyone in the world, while, at the same time, we are able to ELIMINATE OUR ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL & ECOLOGICAL CRISIS along with corruption, poverty, abuse of power, unemployment, social stratification, and other factors that hinder the life and sustainability of the planet and its inhabitants.To know more about it, watch: "Zeitgeist Addendum" - It is on youtube
