I don't know Matt Rothschild's views but it seems somewhat ironic that a Rothschild should be a part of all this.

Well, whatever we do, we need to be on the side that doesn't work hard for a living. I think we're clever and savvy enough to figure out some way. Let's keep pointing our fingers at other people and blame them for making things bad for everyone else but us. We've got book deals and lecture circuits to make money from. Interesting times. Interesting times.

The financial institutes and the corporations have taken control of the governments. We need social conscience like the speakers mentioned. People of every country should take control of governments, With no foreign intervention in any form. The Federal Reserve is secretive institution by toxic capitalists, the World Bank, and the IMF should be abolished. The money lenders in the food world should be tried for swindling with excessive interests like the credit card companies. proper education.

It is refreshing to hear intellectual socially conscious people like the three speakers we heard. There are socially conscious people throughout this world. But they are fighting against the common enemy, greedy ill educated right-wing fundamentalists with tons of money and the media, and even the educational Institute to support them. We need a total peaceful revolution starting with the financial and corporate monopoly of governments. We have to unite, educate and form a People's moment

@Konform2zoidberg "The voice and institutional support given to these things is nil despite widespread support. " This is nothing but the indiciation that democracy in the US is for the upper classes and not the masses. It is also the beginning stages of a failed state and the US cannot continue to claim to be the world's leading democracy.
