"THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOKLET

87
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:23,233
"IS TO DESCRIBE THE BASIC
PROCESS OF MONEY CREATION

89
00:07:25,867 --> 00:07:29,367
IT THEN PROCEEDS TO DESCRIBE

DECIDES IT NEEDS SOME MONEY,

00:07:40,733 --> 00:07:43,767
AND REQUESTS, SAY, $10 BILLION.

95
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,867

96
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,233
WE'LL BUY $10 BILLION
IN GOVERNMENT BONDS FROM YOU."

97
00:07:48,267 --> 00:07:51,667
SO THE GOVERNMENT
TAKES SOME PIECES OF PAPER,

98
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:53,867
PAINTS SOME OFFICIAL-LOOKING
DESIGNS ON THEM,

99
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,000
AND CALLS THEM TREASURY BONDS.

100
00:07:56,033 --> 00:07:59,800
THEN IT PUTS A VALUE ON THESE
BONDS TO THE SUM OF $10 BILLION

101
00:07:59,833 --> 00:08:02,467
AND SENDS THEM OVER TO THE FED.

102
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,300
IN TURN, THE PEOPLE AT THE FED

103
00:08:04,333 --> 00:08:07,367
DRAW UP A BUNCH OF IMPRESSIVE
PIECES OF PAPER THEMSELVES,

104
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,433
ONLY THIS TIME CALLING THEM
"FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES,"

105
00:08:10,467 --> 00:08:14,633
ALSO DESIGNATING A VALUE
OF $10 BILLION TO THE SET.

106
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:18,367
THE FED THEN TAKES THESE NOTES
AND TRADES THEM FOR THE BONDS.

ONCE THIS EXCHANGE IS COMPLETE,
THE GOVERNMENT

108
00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:23,433
THEN TAKES THE $10 BILLION
IN FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES

109
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:26,067
AND DEPOSITS IT
INTO A BANK ACCOUNT.

110
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:27,667

IS A GENERALIZATION,

EXISTS IN COMPUTERS ALONE.

120
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,567
NOW, GOVERNMENT BONDS ARE,
BY DESIGN, INSTRUMENTS OF DEBT,

121
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,867

PURCHASES THESE BONDS

122
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:07,600
WITH MONEY IT ESSENTIALLY
CREATED OUT OF THIN AIR,

123
00:09:07,633 --> 00:09:11,100

PROMISING TO PAY BACK THAT MONEY

125
00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:17,233

WAS CREATED OUT OF DEBT.

REALLY INTERESTING,

132
00:09:34,433 --> 00:09:37,067
FOR, AS BASED ON
THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE PRACTICE,

133
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,033
THAT $10 BILLION DEPOSIT

134
00:09:39,067 --> 00:09:42,267
INSTANTLY BECOMES PART
OF THE BANK'S RESERVES,

135
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,167
JUST AS ALL DEPOSITS DO.

136
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,400
AND REGARDING
RESERVE REQUIREMENTS,

137
00:09:47,433 --> 00:09:50,033

IN "MODERN MONEY MECHANICS,"

138
00:09:50,067 --> 00:09:52,900

00:09:52,933 --> 00:09:56,367
EQUAL TO A PRESCRIBED PERCENTAGE
OF ITS DEPOSITS.

140
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,500

144
00:10:05,233 --> 00:10:08,500
THIS MEANS
THAT WITH A $10 BILLION DEPOSIT,

145
00:10:08,533 --> 00:10:12,800
10%, OR $1 BILLION,
IS HELD AS THE REQUIRED RESERVE,

146
00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:16,667
WHILE THE OTHER $9 BILLION IS
CONSIDERED AN EXCESSIVE RESERVE

147
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:21,400
AND CAN BE USED
AS THE BASIS FOR NEW LOANS.

148
00:10:21,433 --> 00:10:24,633

THAT THIS $9 BILLION

149

IS LITERALLY COMING OUT OF THE
EXISTING $10 BILLION DEPOSIT.

HOWEVER,
THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT THE CASE.

151
00:10:31,033 --> 00:10:33,567

IS THAT THE $9 BILLION

152

FOR SUCH A LOAN

AND THAT THERE IS
A $10 BILLION DEPOSIT

167

TO SATISFY
THE RESERVE REQUIREMENTS.

168
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,400
NOW, LET'S ASSUME THAT SOMEBODY
WALKS INTO THIS BANK

169

MOST LIKELY TAKE THAT MONEY

00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:27,033
AND DEPOSIT IT
INTO THEIR OWN BANK ACCOUNT.

172
00:11:27,067 --> 00:11:29,400
THE PROCESS THEN REPEATS,

173
00:11:29,433 --> 00:11:32,333
FOR THAT DEPOSIT BECOMES PART
OF THE BANK'S RESERVES.

174
00:11:32,367 --> 00:11:33,800
10% IS ISOLATED,

175
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:37,800
AND, IN TURN, 90% OF
THE $9 BILLION, OR $8.1 BILLION,

176
00:11:37,833 --> 00:11:41,400
IS NOW AVAILABLE AS NEWLY
CREATED MONEY FOR MORE LOANS.

177
00:11:41,433 --> 00:11:43,233
AND, OF COURSE,
THAT $8.1 BILLION

178
00:11:43,267 --> 00:11:45,200
CAN BE LOANED OUT
AND REDEPOSITED,

179
00:11:45,233 --> 00:11:50,300
CREATING AN ADDITIONAL
$7.2 BILLION, TO $6.5 BILLION,

180
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:53,400
TO $5.9 BILLION, ET CETERA.

181
00:11:53,433 --> 00:11:56,500
THIS DEPOSIT-MONEY-CREATION
LOAN CYCLE

182
00:11:56,533 --> 00:11:58,933
CAN TECHNICALLY GO ON
TO INFINITY.

183
00:11:58,967 --> 00:12:03,200
THE AVERAGE MATHEMATICAL RESULT
IS THAT ABOUT $90 BILLION

184
00:12:03,233 --> 00:12:06,633
CAN BE CREATED ON TOP
OF THE ORIGINAL $10 BILLION.

185
00:12:06,667 --> 00:12:08,067
IN OTHER WORDS,

186
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,133
FOR EVERY DEPOSIT THAT EVER
OCCURS IN THE BANKING SYSTEM,

187
00:12:11,167 --> 00:12:14,933
ABOUT NINE TIMES THAT AMOUNT
CAN BE CREATED OUT OF THIN AIR.

188
00:12:15,633 --> 00:12:17,367
-MONEY JITTERS?

189
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,433
ASK THE OBLIGING BANK OF AMERICA

190
00:12:19,467 --> 00:12:24,133
FOR A JAR OF SOOTHING
INSTANT MONEY -- M-O-N-E-Y --

191
00:12:24,167 --> 00:12:26,633
IN THE FORM
OF A CONVENIENT PERSONAL LOAN.

192
00:12:26,667 --> 00:12:28,667
-[ GULPS ]

193
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,467
-SO, NOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND
HOW MONEY IS CREATED

194
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,100
BY THIS FRACTIONAL RESERVE
BANKING SYSTEM,

195
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:37,667
A LOGICAL-YET-ELUSIVE QUESTION
MIGHT COME TO MIND --

196
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:41,933
WHAT IS ACTUALLY GIVING
THIS NEWLY CREATED MONEY VALUE?

197
00:12:41,967 --> 00:12:46,100
THE ANSWER --
THE MONEY THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

198
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:48,667
THE NEW MONEY
ESSENTIALLY STEALS VALUE

199
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,133
FROM THE EXISTING MONEY SUPPLY,

200
00:12:51,167 --> 00:12:53,967
FOR THE TOTAL POOL OF MONEY
IS BEING INCREASED

201
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,733
IRRESPECTIVE TO DEMAND
FOR GOODS AND SERVICES.

202
00:12:56,767 --> 00:13:00,800
AND AS SUPPLY AND DEMAND
FINDS EQUILIBRIUM, PRICES RISE,

203
00:13:00,833 --> 00:13:04,567
DIMINISHING THE PURCHASING POWER
OF EACH INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR.

204
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800
THIS IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO
AS INFLATION,

205
00:13:07,833 --> 00:13:12,667
AND INFLATION IS ESSENTIALLY
A HIDDEN TAX ON THE PUBLIC.

206
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:14,467
-WHAT IS THE ADVICE
THAT YOU GENERALLY GET?

207
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:16,467
AND THAT IS INFLATE
THE CURRENCY.

208
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,100
THEY DON'T SAY,
"DEBASE THE CURRENCY."

209
00:13:18,133 --> 00:13:19,833
THEY DON'T SAY,
"DEVALUE THE CURRENCY."

210
00:13:19,867 --> 00:13:21,967
THEY DON'T SAY, "CHEAT
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAVED."

211
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,767
THEY SAY,
"LOWER THE INTEREST RATES."

212
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,600
THE REAL DECEPTION IS WHEN WE
DISTORT THE VALUE OF MONEY,

213
00:13:27,633 --> 00:13:29,233
WHEN WE CREATE MONEY
OUT OF THIN AIR.

214
00:13:29,267 --> 00:13:32,700
WE HAVE NO SAVINGS, AND YET
THERE'S SO-CALLED "CAPITAL."

215
00:13:32,733 --> 00:13:35,267
SO MY QUESTION
BOILS DOWN TO THIS --

216
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,167
HOW IN THE WORLD

217
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,533
CAN WE EXPECT TO SOLVE
THE PROBLEMS OF INFLATION --

218
00:13:40,567 --> 00:13:42,700
THAT IS, THE INCREASE
IN THE SUPPLY MONEY --

219
00:13:42,733 --> 00:13:44,933
WITH MORE INFLATION?

220
00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:46,967
-OF COURSE, IT CAN'T.

221
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,900
THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM
OF MONETARY EXPANSION

222
00:13:49,933 --> 00:13:51,867
IS INHERENTLY INFLATIONARY,

223
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:54,200
FOR THE ACT
OF EXPANDING THE MONEY SUPPLY

224
00:13:54,233 --> 00:13:56,600
WITHOUT THERE BEING
A PROPORTIONAL EXPANSION

225
00:13:56,633 --> 00:13:58,700
OF GOODS AND SERVICES
IN THE ECONOMY

226
00:13:58,733 --> 00:14:01,233
WILL ALWAYS DEBASE A CURRENCY.

227
00:14:01,267 --> 00:14:02,800
IN FACT, A QUICK GLANCE

228
00:14:02,833 --> 00:14:05,133
AT THE HISTORICAL VALUES
OF THE U.S. DOLLAR,

229
00:14:05,167 --> 00:14:06,600
VERSUS THE MONEY SUPPLY,

230
00:14:06,633 --> 00:14:08,633
REFLECTS THIS POINT
DEFINITIVELY,

231
00:14:08,667 --> 00:14:11,100
FOR THE INVERSE RELATIONSHIP
IS OBVIOUS.

232
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,300
ONE DOLLAR IN 1913

233
00:14:15,333 --> 00:14:21,567
REQUIRED $21.60 IN 2007
TO MATCH VALUE.

234
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,600
THAT IS A 96% DEVALUATION

235
00:14:24,633 --> 00:14:28,100
SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE
CAME INTO EXISTENCE.

236
00:14:29,933 --> 00:14:34,100
NOW, IF THIS REALITY OF INHERENT
AND PERPETUAL INFLATION

237
00:14:34,133 --> 00:14:38,000
SEEMS ABSURD
AND ECONOMICALLY SELF-DEFEATING,

238
00:14:38,033 --> 00:14:39,500
HOLD THAT THOUGHT,

239
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:41,867
FOR ABSURDITY
IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

240
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:46,333
IN REGARD TO HOW OUR FINANCIAL
SYSTEM REALLY OPERATES.

241
00:14:46,367 --> 00:14:48,333
FOR IN OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM,

242
00:14:48,367 --> 00:14:53,267
MONEY IS DEBT,
AND DEBT IS MONEY.

243
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:58,767
HERE IS A CHART OF THE U.S.
MONEY SUPPLY FROM 1950 TO 2006.

244
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,267
HERE IS A CHART
OF THE U.S. NATIONAL DEBT

245
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:02,800
FOR THE SAME PERIOD.

246
00:15:02,833 --> 00:15:06,833
HOW INTERESTING IT IS THAT THE
TRENDS ARE VIRTUALLY THE SAME,

247
00:15:06,867 --> 00:15:10,200
FOR THE MORE MONEY THERE IS,
THE MORE DEBT THERE IS.

248
00:15:10,233 --> 00:15:13,467
THE MORE DEBT THERE IS,
THE MORE MONEY THERE IS.

249
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,767
TO PUT IT A DIFFERENT WAY, EVERY
SINGLE DOLLAR IN YOUR WALLET

250
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,600
IS OWED TO SOMEBODY BY SOMEBODY.

251
00:15:19,633 --> 00:15:23,033
FOR, REMEMBER, THE ONLY WAY THAT
MONEY CAN COME INTO EXISTENCE

252
00:15:23,067 --> 00:15:24,367
IS FROM LOANS.

253
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,367
THEREFORE,
IF EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY

254
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,467
WERE ABLE TO PAY OFF ALL DEBTS,
INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT,

255
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:32,533
THERE WOULD NOT BE
ONE DOLLAR IN CIRCULATION.

256
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,667
IN FACT, THE LAST TIME
IN AMERICAN HISTORY

257
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:48,133
THE NATIONAL DEBT
WAS COMPLETELY PAID OFF

258
00:15:48,167 --> 00:15:51,933
WAS IN 1835,
AFTER PRESIDENT ANDREW JACKSON

259
00:15:51,967 --> 00:15:55,833
SHUT DOWN THE CENTRAL BANK THAT
PRECEDED THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

260
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:58,967
IN FACT, JACKSON'S
ENTIRE POLITICAL PLATFORM

261
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,233
ESSENTIALLY REVOLVED
AROUND HIS COMMITMENT

262
00:16:01,267 --> 00:16:04,333
TO SHUT DOWN THE CENTRAL BANK,
STATING AT ONE POINT...

263
00:16:18,033 --> 00:16:20,567
UNFORTUNATELY,
HIS MESSAGE WAS SHORT-LIVED,

264
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,967
AND INTERNATIONAL BANKERS

265
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,133
PROCEEDED TO INSTALL
ANOTHER CENTRAL BANK IN 1913 --

266
00:16:26,167 --> 00:16:27,700
THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

267
00:16:27,733 --> 00:16:30,067
AND AS LONG
AS THIS INSTITUTION EXISTS,

268
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:32,800
PERPETUAL DEBT IS GUARANTEED.

269
00:16:34,267 --> 00:16:37,833
NOW, SO FAR, WE HAVE DISCUSSED
THE REALITY THAT MONEY

270
00:16:37,867 --> 00:16:40,567
IS CREATED OUT OF DEBT
THROUGH LOANS.

271
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,967
THESE LOANS
ARE BASED ON A BANK'S RESERVES,

272
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,500
AND RESERVES
ARE DERIVED FROM DEPOSITS.

273
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:47,700
AND THROUGH
THIS FRACTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM,

274
00:16:47,733 --> 00:16:51,733
ANY ONE DEPOSIT CAN CREATE
NINE TIMES ITS ORIGINAL VALUE,

275
00:16:51,767 --> 00:16:54,767
IN TURN DEBASING
THE EXISTING MONEY SUPPLY,

276
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,067
RAISING PRICES IN SOCIETY.

277
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,900
AND SINCE ALL THIS MONEY
IS CREATED OUT OF DEBT

278
00:16:59,933 --> 00:17:02,833
AND CIRCULATED RANDOMLY
THROUGH COMMERCE,

279
00:17:02,867 --> 00:17:05,933
PEOPLE BECOME DETACHED
FROM THEIR ORIGINAL DEBT,

280
00:17:05,967 --> 00:17:08,100
AND A DISEQUILIBRIUM EXISTS

281
00:17:08,133 --> 00:17:10,900
WHERE PEOPLE
ARE FORCED TO COMPETE FOR LABOR

282
00:17:10,933 --> 00:17:13,933
IN ORDER TO PULL ENOUGH MONEY
OUT OF THE MONEY SUPPLY

283
00:17:13,967 --> 00:17:15,833
TO COVER THEIR COSTS OF LIVING.

284
00:17:17,333 --> 00:17:21,100
AS DYSFUNCTIONAL AND BACKWARDS
AS ALL OF THIS MIGHT SEEM,

285
00:17:21,133 --> 00:17:25,267
THERE IS STILL ONE THING WE HAVE
OMITTED FROM THIS EQUATION,

286
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:27,833
AND IT IS THIS ELEMENT
OF THE STRUCTURE

287
00:17:27,867 --> 00:17:30,467
WHICH REVEALS
THE TRULY FRAUDULENT NATURE

288
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,533
OF THE SYSTEM ITSELF --

289
00:17:33,567 --> 00:17:36,200
THE APPLICATION OF INTEREST.

290
00:17:37,967 --> 00:17:40,300
WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
BORROWS MONEY FROM THE FED,

291
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:42,767
OR WHEN A PERSON
BORROWS MONEY FROM A BANK,

292
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,767
IT ALMOST ALWAYS HAS TO BE
PAID BACK WITH ACCRUED INTEREST.

293
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,000
IN OTHER WORDS, ALMOST
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THAT EXISTS

294
00:17:51,033 --> 00:17:53,100
MUST BE EVENTUALLY RETURNED
TO A BANK

295
00:17:53,133 --> 00:17:55,300
WITH INTEREST PAID, AS WELL.

296
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:59,033
BUT IF ALL MONEY IS BORROWED
FROM THE CENTRAL BANK

297
00:17:59,067 --> 00:18:02,633
AND IS EXPANDED BY COMMERCIAL
BANKS THROUGH LOANS,

298
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:05,800
ONLY WHAT WOULD BE REFERRED TO
AS THE PRINCIPAL

299
00:18:05,833 --> 00:18:08,800
IS BEING CREATED
IN THE MONEY SUPPLY.

300
00:18:08,833 --> 00:18:10,700
SO, THEN, WHERE IS THE MONEY

301
00:18:10,733 --> 00:18:14,133
TO COVER ALL OF THE INTEREST
THAT IS CHARGED?

302
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:16,067
NOWHERE.

303
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,067
IT DOESN'T EXIST.

304
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,500
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS
ARE STAGGERING,

305
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,867
FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
OWED BACK TO THE BANKS

306
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:24,933
WILL ALWAYS EXCEED
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY

307
00:18:24,967 --> 00:18:27,600
THAT IS AVAILABLE
IN CIRCULATION.

308
00:18:27,633 --> 00:18:31,033
THIS IS WHY INFLATION
IS A CONSTANT IN THE ECONOMY,

309
00:18:31,067 --> 00:18:33,133
FOR NEW MONEY IS ALWAYS NEEDED

310
00:18:33,167 --> 00:18:37,200
TO HELP COVER THE PERPETUAL
DEFICIT BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM

311
00:18:37,233 --> 00:18:39,767
CAUSED BY THE NEED
TO PAY THE INTEREST.

312
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,833
WHAT THIS ALSO MEANS
IS THAT MATHEMATICALLY,

313
00:18:42,867 --> 00:18:46,733
DEFAULTS AND BANKRUPTCY ARE
LITERALLY BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM,

314
00:18:46,767 --> 00:18:49,733
AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
POOR POCKETS OF SOCIETY

315
00:18:49,767 --> 00:18:51,733
THAT GET THE SHORT END
OF THE STICK.

316
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:54,567
AN ANALOGY WOULD BE
A GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIRS,

317
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,800
FOR ONCE THE MUSIC STOPS,
SOMEBODY IS LEFT OUT TO DRY.

318
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:00,567
AND THAT'S THE POINT.

319
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,100
IT INVARIABLY TRANSFERS
TRUE WEALTH

320
00:19:03,133 --> 00:19:05,133
FROM THE INDIVIDUAL
TO THE BANKS,

321
00:19:05,167 --> 00:19:08,267
FOR IF YOU ARE UNABLE
TO PAY FOR YOUR MORTGAGE,

322
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:09,567
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR PROPERTY.

323
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,400
THIS IS PARTICULARLY ENRAGING

324
00:19:11,433 --> 00:19:15,200
WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT NOT ONLY
IS SUCH A DEFAULT INEVITABLE

325
00:19:15,233 --> 00:19:17,433
DUE TO
THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE PRACTICE,

326
00:19:17,467 --> 00:19:19,000
BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE FACT

327
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:21,533
THAT THE MONEY
THAT THE BANK LOANED TO YOU

328
00:19:21,567 --> 00:19:25,367
DIDN'T EVEN LEGALLY EXIST
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

329
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,233
IN 1969,
THERE WAS A MINNESOTA COURT CASE

330
00:19:28,267 --> 00:19:31,033
INVOLVING A MAN
NAMED JEROME DALY,

331
00:19:31,067 --> 00:19:33,067
WHO WAS CHALLENGING
THE FORECLOSURE OF HIS HOME

332
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,900
BY THE BANK WHICH PROVIDED
THE LOAN TO PURCHASE IT.

333
00:19:35,933 --> 00:19:38,433
HIS ARGUMENT
WAS THAT THE MORTGAGE CONTRACT

334
00:19:38,467 --> 00:19:41,533
REQUIRED BOTH PARTIES,
BEING HE AND THE BANK,

335
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:45,767
EACH PUT UP A LEGITIMATE FORM
OF PROPERTY FOR THE EXCHANGE.

336
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,167
IN LEGAL LANGUAGE,
THIS IS CALLED "CONSIDERATION."

337
00:19:53,567 --> 00:19:55,967
MR. DALY
EXPLAINED THAT THE MONEY

338
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,767
WAS, IN FACT,
NOT THE PROPERTY OF THE BANK,

339
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,767
FOR IT WAS CREATED
OUT OF NOTHING

340
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,300
AS SOON AS THE LOAN AGREEMENT
WAS SIGNED.

341
00:20:03,333 --> 00:20:06,467
REMEMBER WHAT "MODERN MONEY
MECHANICS" STATED ABOUT LOANS?

342
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:08,133
"WHAT THEY DO
WHEN THEY MAKE LOANS

343
00:20:08,167 --> 00:20:11,700
IS TO ACCEPT PROMISSORY NOTES
IN EXCHANGE FOR CREDITS."

344
00:20:11,733 --> 00:20:14,433
"RESERVES ARE UNCHANGED
BY THE LOAN TRANSACTIONS.

345
00:20:14,467 --> 00:20:17,333
"BUT DEPOSIT CREDITS
CONSTITUTE NEW ADDITIONS

346
00:20:17,367 --> 00:20:20,067
TO THE TOTAL DEPOSITS
OF THE BANKING SYSTEM."

347
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:21,333
IN OTHER WORDS, THE MONEY

348
00:20:21,367 --> 00:20:23,800
DOESN'T COME OUT
OF THEIR EXISTING ASSETS.

349
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:27,433
THE BANK IS SIMPLY INVENTING IT,
PUTTING UP NOTHING OF ITS OWN,

350
00:20:27,467 --> 00:20:31,067
EXCEPT FOR THEORETICAL LIABILITY
ON PAPER.

351
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:32,533
AS THE COURT CASE PROGRESSED,

352
00:20:32,567 --> 00:20:35,500
THE BANK'S PRESIDENT,
MR. MORGAN, TOOK THE STAND,

353
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:37,667
AND IN THE JUDGE'S
PERSONAL MEMORANDUM,

354
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:39,100
HE RECALLED
THAT THE "PLAINTIFF" --

355
00:20:39,133 --> 00:20:40,567
THE BANK'S PRESIDENT --

356
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,100
"ADMITTED THAT, IN COMBINATION
WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK,

357
00:20:44,133 --> 00:20:47,233
"DID CREATE THE MONEY AND CREDIT
UPON ITS BOOKS

358
00:20:47,267 --> 00:20:48,633
"BY BOOKKEEPING ENTRY.

359
00:20:48,667 --> 00:20:50,467
"THE MONEY AND CREDIT
FIRST CAME INTO EXISTENCE

360
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,833
"WHEN THEY CREATED IT.

361
00:20:51,867 --> 00:20:55,600
"MR. MORGAN ADMITTED THAT
NO UNITED STATES LAW OR STATUTE

362
00:20:55,633 --> 00:20:58,400
"EXISTED WHICH GAVE HIM
THE RIGHT TO DO THIS.

363
00:20:58,433 --> 00:21:00,767
"A LAWFUL CONSIDERATION
MUST EXIST

364
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,867
"AND BE TENDERED
TO SUPPORT THE NOTE.

365
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:05,233
"THE JURY FOUND THAT THERE WAS
NO LAWFUL CONSIDERATION,

366
00:21:05,267 --> 00:21:06,400
AND I AGREE."

367
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:08,133
HE ALSO POETICALLY ADDED,

368
00:21:08,167 --> 00:21:12,133
"ONLY GOD CAN CREATE SOMETHING
OF VALUE OUT OF NOTHING."

369
00:21:12,167 --> 00:21:13,800
AND UPON THIS REVELATION,

370
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:16,933
THE COURT REJECTED THE BANK'S
CLAIM FOR FORECLOSURE,

371
00:21:16,967 --> 00:21:19,700
AND DALY KEPT HIS HOME.

372
00:21:19,733 --> 00:21:22,667
THE IMPLICATIONS OF
THIS COURT DECISION ARE IMMENSE,

373
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:25,367
FOR EVERY TIME
YOU BORROW MONEY FROM A BANK,

374
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,500
WHETHER IT IS A MORTGAGE LOAN
OR A CREDIT-CARD CHARGE,

375
00:21:28,533 --> 00:21:31,600
THE MONEY GIVEN TO YOU
IS NOT ONLY COUNTERFEIT,

376
00:21:31,633 --> 00:21:34,733
IT IS AN ILLEGITIMATE FORM
OF CONSIDERATION

377
00:21:34,767 --> 00:21:37,400
AND, HENCE,
VOIDS THE CONTRACT TO REPAY,

378
00:21:37,433 --> 00:21:41,400
FOR THE BANK NEVER HAD THE MONEY
AS PROPERTY TO BEGIN WITH.

379
00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:44,167
UNFORTUNATELY,
SUCH LEGAL REALIZATIONS

380
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,600
ARE SUPPRESSED AND IGNORED,

381
00:21:45,633 --> 00:21:49,400
AND THE GAME OF PERPETUAL WEALTH
TRANSFER AND PERPETUAL DEBT

382
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:50,767
CONTINUES.

383
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,600
AND THIS BRINGS US
TO THE ULTIMATE QUESTION -- WHY?

384
00:21:56,033 --> 00:21:57,967
DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR,

385
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,333
PRESIDENT LINCOLN
BYPASSED THE HIGH-INTEREST LOANS

386
00:22:01,367 --> 00:22:03,533
OFFERED BY THE EUROPEAN BANKS

387
00:22:03,567 --> 00:22:06,833
AND DECIDED TO DO WHAT
THE FOUNDING FATHERS ADVOCATED,

388
00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:08,100
WHICH WAS TO CREATE

389
00:22:08,133 --> 00:22:11,767
AN INDEPENDENT AND
INHERENTLY DEBT-FREE CURRENCY.

390
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,800
IT WAS CALLED "THE GREENBACK."

391
00:22:15,433 --> 00:22:17,767
SHORTLY AFTER THIS MEASURE
WAS TAKEN,

392
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,133
AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT CIRCULATED
BETWEEN PRIVATE BRITISH

393
00:22:21,167 --> 00:22:24,200
AND AMERICAN BANKING INTERESTS
STATED...

394
00:22:43,567 --> 00:22:45,467
THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE POLICY

395
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,367
PERPETRATED
BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE

396
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,200
WHICH HAS SPREAD IN PRACTICE

397
00:22:49,233 --> 00:22:51,767
TO THE GREAT MAJORITY
OF BANKS IN THE WORLD

398
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,000
IS, IN FACT,
A SYSTEM OF MODERN SLAVERY.

399
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,833
THINK ABOUT IT.

400
00:23:00,867 --> 00:23:03,400
MONEY IS CREATED OUT OF DEBT.

401
00:23:03,433 --> 00:23:06,133
WHAT DO PEOPLE DO
WHEN THEY ARE IN DEBT?

402
00:23:06,167 --> 00:23:09,133
THEY SUBMIT TO EMPLOYMENT
TO PAY IT OFF.

403
00:23:09,167 --> 00:23:12,367
BUT IF MONEY CAN ONLY BE CREATED
OUT OF LOANS,

404
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800
HOW CAN SOCIETY
EVER BE DEBT-FREE?

405
00:23:15,833 --> 00:23:17,033
IT CAN'T.

406
00:23:17,067 --> 00:23:18,900
AND THAT'S THE POINT.

407
00:23:18,933 --> 00:23:20,967
AND IT IS THE FEAR
OF LOSING ASSETS,

408
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,167
COUPLED WITH THE STRUGGLE

409
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,233
TO KEEP UP WITH
THE PERPETUAL DEBT AND INFLATION

410
00:23:25,267 --> 00:23:26,833
INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM,

411
00:23:26,867 --> 00:23:29,467
COMPOUNDED
BY THE INESCAPABLE SCARCITY

412
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:31,533
WITHIN THE MONEY SUPPLY ITSELF

413
00:23:31,567 --> 00:23:36,000
CREATED BY THE INTEREST
THAT CAN NEVER BE REPAID

414
00:23:36,033 --> 00:23:39,533
THAT KEEPS THE WAGE SLAVE
IN LINE,

415
00:23:39,567 --> 00:23:42,933
RUNNING ON THE HAMSTER WHEEL
WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS,

416
00:23:42,967 --> 00:23:45,467
IN EFFECT POWERING AN EMPIRE

417
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:50,633
THAT TRULY BENEFITS ONLY THE
ELITE AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID.

418
00:23:50,667 --> 00:23:55,567
FOR AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WHO ARE YOU REALLY WORKING FOR?

419
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,367
THE BANKS.

420
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,100
MONEY IS CREATED IN A BANK AND
INVARIABLY ENDS UP IN A BANK.

421
00:24:01,133 --> 00:24:03,100
THEY ARE THE TRUE MASTERS,

422
00:24:03,133 --> 00:24:08,033
ALONG WITH THE CORPORATIONS
AND GOVERNMENTS THEY SUPPORT.

423
00:24:08,067 --> 00:24:12,367
PHYSICAL SLAVERY REQUIRES PEOPLE
TO BE HOUSED AND FED.

424
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:18,200
ECONOMIC SLAVERY REQUIRES PEOPLE
TO FEED AND HOUSE THEMSELVES.

425
00:24:18,233 --> 00:24:21,433
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST INGENIOUS
SCAMS FOR SOCIAL MANIPULATION

426
00:24:21,467 --> 00:24:22,800
EVER CREATED,

427
00:24:22,833 --> 00:24:24,233
AND AT ITS CORE,

428
00:24:24,267 --> 00:24:27,500
IT IS AN INVISIBLE WAR
AGAINST THE POPULATION.

429
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:32,000
DEBT IS THE WEAPON USED TO
CONQUER AND ENSLAVE SOCIETIES,

430
00:24:32,033 --> 00:24:35,300
AND INTEREST
IS ITS PRIME AMMUNITION.

431
00:24:36,767 --> 00:24:40,833
AND AS THE MAJORITY WALKS AROUND
OBLIVIOUS TO THIS REALITY,

432
00:24:40,867 --> 00:24:44,633
THE BANKS, IN COLLUSION WITH
GOVERNMENTS AND CORPORATIONS,

433
00:24:44,667 --> 00:24:47,500
CONTINUE TO PERFECT
AND EXPAND THEIR TACTICS

434
00:24:47,533 --> 00:24:49,133
OF ECONOMIC WARFARE,

435
00:24:49,167 --> 00:24:50,733
SPAWNING NEW BASES,

436
00:24:50,767 --> 00:24:55,033
SUCH AS THE WORLD BANK
AND INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND,

437
00:24:55,067 --> 00:24:58,433
WHILE ALSO INVENTING
A NEW TYPE OF SOLDIER --

438
00:24:58,467 --> 00:25:01,533
THE BIRTH
OF THE ECONOMIC HIT MAN.

439
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:16,867
-WE ECONOMIC HIT MEN REALLY HAVE
BEEN THE ONES RESPONSIBLE

440
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:19,867
FOR CREATING
THIS FIRST TRULY GLOBAL EMPIRE.

441
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:21,800
AND WE WORK MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

442
00:25:26,533 --> 00:25:27,933
BUT PERHAPS THE MOST COMMON

443
00:25:27,967 --> 00:25:30,767
IS THAT WE WILL IDENTIFY
A COUNTRY

444
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,133
THAT HAS RESOURCES OUR
CORPORATIONS COVET, LIKE OIL,

445
00:25:34,167 --> 00:25:38,167
AND THEN ARRANGE A HUGE LOAN TO
THAT COUNTRY FROM THE WORLD BANK

446
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,133
OR ONE
OF ITS SISTER ORGANIZATIONS.

447
00:25:40,167 --> 00:25:41,967
BUT THE MONEY NEVER ACTUALLY
GOES TO THE COUNTRY.

448
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,833
INSTEAD, IT GOES
TO OUR BIG CORPORATIONS

449
00:25:43,867 --> 00:25:45,967
TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
IN THAT COUNTRY --

450
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,433
POWER PLANTS,
INDUSTRIAL PARKS, PORTS --

451
00:25:48,467 --> 00:25:51,367
THINGS THAT BENEFIT A FEW
RICH PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY,

452
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,367
IN ADDITION TO OUR CORPORATIONS,

453
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,867
BUT REALLY DON'T HELP THE
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE AT ALL.

454
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:58,000
HOWEVER, THOSE PEOPLE,
THE WHOLE COUNTRY,

455
00:25:58,033 --> 00:26:00,633
IS LEFT HOLDING A HUGE DEBT.

456
00:26:00,667 --> 00:26:02,033
IT'S SUCH A BIG DEBT
THEY CAN'T REPAY IT.

457
00:26:02,067 --> 00:26:04,733
AND THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN --
THAT THEY CAN'T REPAY IT.

458
00:26:04,767 --> 00:26:06,600
AND SO, AT SOME POINT,
WE ECONOMIC HIT MEN

459
00:26:06,633 --> 00:26:07,700
GO BACK TO THEM AND SAY,

460
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:09,067
"LISTEN,
YOU OWE US A LOT OF MONEY.

461
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:10,367
"YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR DEBT,

462
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,000
"SO SELL YOUR OIL REAL CHEAP
TO OUR OIL COMPANIES.

463
00:26:14,033 --> 00:26:16,300
"ALLOW US TO BUILD
A MILITARY BASE IN YOUR COUNTRY

464
00:26:16,333 --> 00:26:18,800
"OR SEND TROOPS
IN SUPPORT OF OURS

465
00:26:18,833 --> 00:26:20,667
"TO SOMEPLACE IN THE WORLD
LIKE IRAQ

466
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,300
"OR VOTE WITH US
ON THE NEXT U.N. VOTE

467
00:26:23,333 --> 00:26:27,267
"TO HAVE THEIR ELECTRIC UTILITY
COMPANY PRIVATIZED

468
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:29,333
"AND THEIR WATER
AND SEWAGE SYSTEM PRIVATIZED

469
00:26:29,367 --> 00:26:30,900
"AND SOLD TO U.S. CORPORATIONS

470
00:26:30,933 --> 00:26:33,433
OR OTHER
MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS."

471
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:35,367
SO THERE'S
THAT WHOLE MUSHROOMING THING,

472
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,100
AND IT'S SO TYPICAL
OF THE WAY THE I.M.F.

473
00:26:37,133 --> 00:26:38,500
AND THE WORLD BANK WORK,

474
00:26:38,533 --> 00:26:40,433
IS YOU PUT A COUNTRY IN DEBT,

475
00:26:40,467 --> 00:26:42,533
AND IT'S SUCH A BIG DEBT
IT CAN'T PAY IT,

476
00:26:42,567 --> 00:26:44,733
AND THEN YOU OFFER
TO REFINANCE THAT DEBT

477
00:26:44,767 --> 00:26:47,067
AND PAY EVEN MORE INTEREST,

478
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:51,067
AND YOU DEMAND
THIS QUID PRO QUO,

479
00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:54,000
WHICH YOU CALL A CONDITIONALITY
OR GOOD GOVERNANCE,

480
00:26:54,033 --> 00:26:55,167
WHICH MEANS BASICALLY

481
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,533
THAT THEY'VE GOT TO SELL OFF
THEIR RESOURCES,

482
00:26:57,567 --> 00:27:00,400
INCLUDING MANY
OF THEIR SOCIAL SERVICES,

483
00:27:00,433 --> 00:27:03,000
THEIR UTILITY COMPANIES,
THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEMS SOMETIMES,

484
00:27:03,033 --> 00:27:07,200
THEIR PENAL SYSTEMS,
THEIR INSURANCE SYSTEMS

485
00:27:07,233 --> 00:27:08,933
TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.

486
00:27:08,967 --> 00:27:12,667
SO IT'S A DOUBLE, TRIPLE,
QUADRUPLE WHAMMY.

487
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:17,533
THE PRECEDENT
FOR ECONOMIC HIT MEN

488
00:27:17,567 --> 00:27:20,067
REALLY BEGAN
BACK IN THE EARLY '50s

489
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:22,300
WHEN DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED
MOSSADEGH,

490
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:23,867
WHO WAS ELECTED IN IRAN --

491
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,467
HE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE HOPE

492
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:27,600
FOR DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST
AND AROUND THE WORLD.

493
00:27:27,633 --> 00:27:29,233
HE WAS TIME MAGAZINE'S MAN
OF THE YEAR.

494
00:27:29,267 --> 00:27:32,867
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE'D
RUN ON AND BEGAN TO IMPLEMENT

495
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:35,200
WAS THE IDEA
THAT FOREIGN OIL COMPANIES

496
00:27:35,233 --> 00:27:37,933
NEEDED TO PAY THE IRANIAN PEOPLE
A LOT MORE FOR THE OIL

497
00:27:37,967 --> 00:27:39,367
THAT THEY WERE TAKING OUT
OF IRAN,

498
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,200
AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE SHOULD
BENEFIT FROM THEIR OWN OIL.

499
00:27:42,233 --> 00:27:44,000
STRANGE POLICY.

500
00:27:44,033 --> 00:27:45,900
WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT, OF COURSE,

501
00:27:45,933 --> 00:27:48,700
BUT WE WERE AFRAID TO DO
WHAT WE NORMALLY WERE DOING,

502
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:50,633
WHICH WAS TO SEND IN
THE MILITARY.

503
00:27:50,667 --> 00:27:54,133
INSTEAD, WE SENT IN ONE C.I.A.
AGENT -- KERMIT ROOSEVELT --

504
00:27:54,167 --> 00:27:57,500
TEDDY ROOSEVELT'S RELATIVE.

505
00:27:57,533 --> 00:27:59,833
AND KERMIT WENT IN
WITH A FEW MILLION DOLLARS

506
00:27:59,867 --> 00:28:02,000
AND WAS VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE
AND EFFICIENT.

507
00:28:02,033 --> 00:28:03,900
AND IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME,

508
00:28:03,933 --> 00:28:07,567
HE MANAGED
TO GET MOSSADEGH OVERTHROWN

509
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,100
AND BROUGHT IN THE SHAH OF IRAN
TO REPLACE HIM,

510
00:28:10,133 --> 00:28:12,333
WHO ALWAYS WAS FAVORABLE TO OIL.

511
00:28:12,367 --> 00:28:14,100
AND IT WAS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE.

512
00:28:14,133 --> 00:28:17,400
[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS ]

513
00:28:17,433 --> 00:28:19,500
-MOBS OVERFLOW TEHRAN.

514
00:28:19,533 --> 00:28:22,100
ARMY OFFICERS SHOUT
THAT MOSSADEGH HAS SURRENDERED

515
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:25,133
AND HIS REGIME AS VIRTUAL
DICTATOR OF IRAN IS ENDED.

516
00:28:25,167 --> 00:28:27,467
PICTURES OF THE SHAH
PARADED THROUGH THE STREETS

517
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:30,667
AS SENTIMENT REVERSES.

518
00:28:30,700 --> 00:28:33,633
THE SHAH IS WELCOMED HOME.

519
00:28:33,667 --> 00:28:36,767
-SO, BACK HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, IN WASHINGTON,

520
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,600
PEOPLE LOOKED AROUND AND SAID,
"WOW. THAT WAS EASY AND CHEAP."

521
00:28:40,633 --> 00:28:45,300
SO THIS ESTABLISHED A WHOLE NEW
WAY OF MANIPULATING COUNTRIES,

522
00:28:45,333 --> 00:28:47,000
OF CREATING EMPIRE.

523
00:28:47,033 --> 00:28:48,767
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH ROOSEVELT

524
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,467
WAS THAT HE WAS
A CARD-CARRYING C.I.A. AGENT,

525
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:53,133
AND HAD HE BEEN CAUGHT,

526
00:28:53,167 --> 00:28:55,800
THE RAMIFICATIONS
COULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY SERIOUS.

527
00:28:55,833 --> 00:28:57,300
SO VERY QUICKLY, AT THAT POINT,

528
00:28:57,333 --> 00:29:00,433
THE DECISION WAS MADE
TO USE PRIVATE CONSULTANTS

529
00:29:00,467 --> 00:29:03,333
TO CHANNEL THE MONEY THROUGH
THE WORLD BANK OR THE I.M.F.

530
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:05,267
OR ONE
OF THE OTHER SUCH AGENCIES,

531
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:08,333
TO BRING IN PEOPLE LIKE ME, WHO
WORKED FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES,

532
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:10,900
SO THAT IF WE GOT CAUGHT,

533
00:29:10,933 --> 00:29:13,933
THERE WOULD BE
NO GOVERNMENTAL RAMIFICATIONS.

534
00:29:21,467 --> 00:29:24,233
WHEN ARBENZ
BECAME PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA,

535
00:29:24,267 --> 00:29:26,133
THE COUNTRY
WAS VERY MUCH UNDER THE THUMBS

536
00:29:26,167 --> 00:29:29,733
OF UNITED FRUIT COMPANY, THE BIG
INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS.

537
00:29:29,767 --> 00:29:32,500
AND ARBENZ RAN ON THIS TICKET
THAT SAID, YOU KNOW,

538
00:29:32,533 --> 00:29:34,467
"WE WANT TO GIVE THE LAND BACK
TO THE PEOPLE."

539
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:35,900
AND ONCE HE TOOK POWER,

540
00:29:35,933 --> 00:29:40,033
HE WAS IMPLEMENTING POLICIES
THAT WOULD DO EXACTLY THAT --

541
00:29:40,067 --> 00:29:42,100
GIVE LAND RIGHTS
BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

542
00:29:42,133 --> 00:29:44,233
UNITED FRUIT
DIDN'T LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.

543
00:29:44,267 --> 00:29:46,700
AND SO THEY HIRED
A PUBLIC-RELATIONS FIRM,

544
00:29:46,733 --> 00:29:49,033
LAUNCHED A HUGE CAMPAIGN
IN THE UNITED STATES

545
00:29:49,067 --> 00:29:50,700
TO CONVINCE THE UNITED STATES --

546
00:29:50,733 --> 00:29:52,267
THE PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS
OF THE UNITED STATES,

547
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:53,533
AND THE PRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES,

548
00:29:53,567 --> 00:29:54,933
AND THE CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES

549
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:57,367
THAT ARBENZ WAS A SOVIET PUPPET

550
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,633
AND THAT IF WE ALLOWED HIM
TO STAY IN POWER,

551
00:29:59,667 --> 00:30:02,633
THE SOVIETS WOULD HAVE
A FOOTHOLD IN THIS HEMISPHERE.

552
00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:04,367
AND THAT, AT THAT POINT IN TIME,

553
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,100
WAS A HUGE FEAR
ON EVERYBODY'S MIND

554
00:30:06,133 --> 00:30:08,533
OF THE RED TERROR
OR THE COMMUNIST TERROR.

555
00:30:08,567 --> 00:30:11,167
AND SO TO MAKE
A LONG STORY SHORT,

556
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,400
OUT OF
THIS PUBLIC-RELATIONS CAMPAIGN

557
00:30:13,433 --> 00:30:16,167
CAME A COMMITMENT ON THE PART
OF THE C.I.A. AND THE MILITARY

558
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,333
TO TAKE THIS MAN OUT.

559
00:30:17,367 --> 00:30:18,533
AND, IN FACT, WE DID.

560
00:30:18,567 --> 00:30:20,967
WE SENT IN PLANES.
WE SENT IN SOLDIERS.

561
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,433
WE SENT IN JACKALS.

562
00:30:22,467 --> 00:30:25,600
WE SENT EVERYTHING IN TO TAKE
HIM OUT AND DID TAKE HIM OUT.

563
00:30:25,633 --> 00:30:28,500
AND AS SOON AS HE WAS REMOVED
FROM OFFICE,

564
00:30:28,533 --> 00:30:30,500
THE NEW GUY
THAT TOOK OVER AFTER HIM

565
00:30:30,533 --> 00:30:32,067
BASICALLY REINSTATED EVERYTHING

566
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:33,900
TO THE BIG INTERNATIONAL
CORPORATIONS,

567
00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:35,867
INCLUDING UNITED FRUIT.

568
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,733
ECUADOR, FOR MANY, MANY YEARS,

569
00:30:41,767 --> 00:30:44,533
HAD BEEN RULED
BY PRO-U.S. DICTATORS --

570
00:30:44,567 --> 00:30:46,533
OFTEN RELATIVELY BRUTAL.

571
00:30:46,567 --> 00:30:47,867
THEN IT WAS DECIDED

572
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:49,867
THAT THEY WERE GONNA HAVE
A TRULY DEMOCRATIC ELECTION.

573
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,733
JAIME ROLDóS RAN FOR OFFICE,

574
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:54,667
AND HIS MAIN GOAL, HE SAID,
AS PRESIDENT

575
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:57,900
WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE
THAT ECUADOR'S RESOURCES

576
00:30:57,933 --> 00:31:00,300
WERE USED TO HELP THE PEOPLE.

577
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:02,567
AND HE WON OVERWHELMINGLY

578
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,733
BY MORE VOTES THAN ANYBODY HAD
EVER WON ANYTHING IN ECUADOR.

579
00:31:05,767 --> 00:31:08,600
AND HE BEGAN TO IMPLEMENT
THESE POLICIES

580
00:31:08,633 --> 00:31:10,467
TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE PROFITS FROM OIL

581
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,033
WENT TO HELP THE PEOPLE.

582
00:31:12,067 --> 00:31:14,767
WELL, WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT
IN THE UNITED STATES.

583
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,633
I WAS SENT DOWN AS ONE
OF SEVERAL ECONOMIC HIT MEN

584
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:20,100
TO CHANGE ROLDóS,
TO CORRUPT HIM,

585
00:31:20,133 --> 00:31:21,367
TO BRING HIM AROUND,

586
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,067
TO LET HIM KNOW, YOU KNOW,
"OKAY. YOU KNOW,

587
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:25,767
"YOU CAN GET VERY RICH --
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY --

588
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,167
"IF YOU PLAY OUR GAME,

589
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,967
"BUT IF YOU CONTINUE

590
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,633
"TO TRY TO KEEP THESE POLICIES
YOU'VE PROMISED,

591
00:31:31,667 --> 00:31:33,467
YOU'RE GONNA GO."

592
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,033
HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.

593
00:31:36,067 --> 00:31:37,800
HE WAS ASSASSINATED.

594
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:43,500
AS SOON AS THE PLANE CRASHED,
THE WHOLE AREA WAS CORDONED OFF.

595
00:31:43,533 --> 00:31:46,967
THE ONLY PEOPLE ALLOWED IN WERE
U.S. MILITARY FROM A NEARBY BASE

596
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,633
AND SOME
OF THE ECUADORIAN MILITARY.

597
00:31:48,667 --> 00:31:51,367
WHEN AN INVESTIGATION
WAS LAUNCHED,

598
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,933
TWO OF THE KEY WITNESSES
DIED IN CAR ACCIDENTS

599
00:31:53,967 --> 00:31:56,600
BEFORE THEY HAD
A CHANCE TO TESTIFY.

600
00:31:56,633 --> 00:31:58,933
A LOT OF VERY,
VERY STRANGE THINGS THAT WENT ON

601
00:31:58,967 --> 00:32:01,967
AROUND THE ASSASSINATION
OF JAIME ROLDóS.

602
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,733
I, LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE
REALLY LOOKED AT THIS CASE,

603
00:32:05,767 --> 00:32:08,433
HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT
THAT IT WAS AN ASSASSINATION,

604
00:32:08,467 --> 00:32:11,400
AND, OF COURSE, IN MY POSITION
AS AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN,

605
00:32:11,433 --> 00:32:13,600
I WAS ALWAYS EXPECTING SOMETHING
TO HAPPEN TO JAIME.

606
00:32:13,633 --> 00:32:15,767
WHETHER IT BE A COUP
OR ASSASSINATION, I WASN'T SURE,

607
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,167
BUT THAT HE WOULD BE TAKEN DOWN

608
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,267
BECAUSE HE WAS
NOT BEING CORRUPTED.

609
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:21,033
HE WOULD NOT ALLOW HIMSELF
TO BE CORRUPTED

610
00:32:21,067 --> 00:32:23,267
THE WAY
WE WANTED TO CORRUPT HIM.

611
00:32:27,033 --> 00:32:29,467
OMAR TORRIJOS,
PRESIDENT OF PANAMA,

612
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:31,633
WAS, YOU KNOW,
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.

613
00:32:31,667 --> 00:32:33,967
I REALLY, REALLY LIKED HIM.
HE WAS VERY CHARISMATIC.

614
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,867
HE WAS A GUY WHO REALLY WANTED
TO HELP HIS COUNTRY.

615
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:39,233
WHEN I TRIED TO BRIBE HIM
OR CORRUPT HIM,

616
00:32:39,267 --> 00:32:41,967
HE SAID, "LOOK, JOHN" --
HE CALLED ME "JUANITO" --

617
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,267
HE SAID, "LOOK, JUANITO,
I DON'T NEED THE MONEY.

618
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:50,700
"WHAT I REALLY NEED IS FOR
MY COUNTRY TO BE TREATED FAIRLY.

619
00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:51,867
"I NEED FOR THE UNITED STATES

620
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:53,867
"TO REPAY THE DEBTS
THAT YOU OWE MY PEOPLE

621
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:55,633
"FOR ALL THE DESTRUCTION
YOU'VE DONE HERE.

622
00:32:55,667 --> 00:32:57,633
"I NEED TO BE IN A POSITION

623
00:32:57,667 --> 00:32:59,500
"WHERE I CAN HELP
OTHER LATIN-AMERICAN COUNTRIES

624
00:32:59,533 --> 00:33:00,867
"WIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE

625
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:05,667
"AND BE FREE OF THIS TERRIBLE
PRESENCE FROM THE NORTH.

626
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:08,067
"YOU PEOPLE
ARE EXPLOITING US SO BADLY.

627
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:10,100
"I NEED TO HAVE THE PANAMA CANAL

628
00:33:10,133 --> 00:33:12,533
"BACK IN THE HANDS
OF THE PANAMANIAN PEOPLE.

629
00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:13,900
"THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

630
00:33:13,933 --> 00:33:15,433
"AND SO LEAVE ME ALONE.

631
00:33:15,467 --> 00:33:16,867
"DON'T --
YOU KNOW, DON'T TRY TO --

632
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:18,167
DON'T TRY TO BRIBE ME."

633
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,600
IT WAS 1981,

634
00:33:20,633 --> 00:33:24,600
AND IN MAY,
JAIME ROLDóS WAS ASSASSINATED.

635
00:33:24,633 --> 00:33:26,767
AND OMAR WAS VERY AWARE OF THIS.

636
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,333
TORRIJOS
GOT HIS FAMILY TOGETHER,

637
00:33:28,367 --> 00:33:32,900
AND HE SAID, "I'M PROBABLY NEXT,
BUT IT'S OKAY

638
00:33:32,933 --> 00:33:36,133
"BECAUSE I HAVE DONE
WHAT I CAME HERE TO DO.

639
00:33:36,167 --> 00:33:37,833
"I RENEGOTIATED THE CANAL.

640
00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:39,467
THE CANAL
WILL NOW BE IN OUR HANDS."

641
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,900
HE'D JUST FINISHED NEGOTIATING
THE TREATY WITH JIMMY CARTER.

642
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,000
IN JUNE OF THAT SAME YEAR,
JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER,

643
00:33:49,033 --> 00:33:52,000
HE ALSO WENT DOWN
IN AN AIRPLANE CRASH,

644
00:33:52,033 --> 00:33:53,400
WHICH, THERE'S NO QUESTION,

645
00:33:53,433 --> 00:33:56,367
WAS EXECUTED
BY C.I.A.-SPONSORED JACKALS.

646
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,967
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE

647
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,033
THAT ONE OF TORRIJOS'
SECURITY GUARDS HANDED HIM,

648
00:34:02,067 --> 00:34:03,767
AT THE LAST MOMENT
AS HE WAS GETTING ON THE PLANE,

649
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,967
A TAPE RECORDER --

650
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,133
A SMALL TAPE RECORDER
THAT CONTAINED A BOMB.

651
00:34:14,767 --> 00:34:17,267
IT IS INTERESTING TO ME
HOW THIS SYSTEM

652
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,767
HAS CONTINUED
PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WAY

653
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,000
FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS,

654
00:34:21,033 --> 00:34:22,167
EXCEPT THE ECONOMIC HIT MEN

655
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,167
HAVE GOTTEN BETTER
AND BETTER AND BETTER.

656
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,367
THEN WE COME UP
WITH, VERY RECENTLY,

657
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,667
WHAT HAPPENED IN VENEZUELA.

658
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:32,133
IN 1998, HUGO CHAVEZ
GETS ELECTED PRESIDENT

659
00:34:32,167 --> 00:34:34,433
FOLLOWING A LONG LINE
OF PRESIDENTS

660
00:34:34,467 --> 00:34:36,233
WHO HAD BEEN VERY CORRUPT

661
00:34:36,267 --> 00:34:38,733
AND BASICALLY DESTROYED
THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY.

662
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:41,533
AND CHAVEZ WAS ELECTED
AMIDST ALL THAT.

663
00:34:41,567 --> 00:34:44,200
CHAVEZ
STOOD UP TO THE UNITED STATES,

664
00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:48,533
AND HE'D DONE IT PRIMARILY
DEMANDING THAT VENEZUELAN OIL

665
00:34:48,567 --> 00:34:52,233
BE USED TO HELP
THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE.

666
00:34:52,267 --> 00:34:55,000
WELL, WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT
IN THE UNITED STATES.

667
00:34:55,033 --> 00:34:58,500
SO IN 2002, A COUP WAS STAGED,

668
00:34:58,533 --> 00:35:00,200
WHICH --
THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY MIND,

669
00:35:00,233 --> 00:35:01,500
IN MOST OTHER PEOPLE'S MINDS,

670
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:03,500
THAT THE C.I.A.
WAS BEHIND THAT COUP.

671
00:35:03,533 --> 00:35:05,733
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

672
00:35:07,167 --> 00:35:08,933
[ GUNFIRE ]

673
00:35:08,967 --> 00:35:11,867
THE WAY THAT THAT COUP
WAS FOMENTED WAS VERY REFLECTIVE

674
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,267
OF WHAT KERMIT ROOSEVELT
HAD DONE IN IRAN --

675
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:17,567
OF PAYING PEOPLE TO GO OUT
INTO THE STREETS TO RIOT,

676
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,233
TO PROTEST, TO SAY THIS CHAVEZ
WAS VERY UNPOPULAR.

677
00:35:21,267 --> 00:35:24,500
YOU KNOW, IF YOU CAN GET A FEW
THOUSAND PEOPLE TO DO THAT,

678
00:35:24,533 --> 00:35:28,800
TELEVISION CAN MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE IT'S THE WHOLE COUNTRY,

679
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:31,400
AND THINGS START TO MUSHROOM.

680
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:35,233
EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF CHAVEZ,
HE WAS SMART ENOUGH,

681
00:35:35,267 --> 00:35:37,500
AND THE PEOPLE
WERE SO STRONGLY BEHIND HIM

682
00:35:37,533 --> 00:35:40,700
THAT THEY OVERCAME IT,

683
00:35:40,733 --> 00:35:44,633
WHICH WAS A PHENOMENAL MOMENT
IN THE HISTORY OF LATIN AMERICA.

684
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,400
IRAQ, ACTUALLY,
IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE

685
00:35:51,433 --> 00:35:53,667
OF THE WAY
THE WHOLE SYSTEM WORKS.

686
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:56,633
SO, WE ECONOMIC HIT MEN
ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

687
00:35:56,667 --> 00:35:59,400
WE GO IN, WE TRY TO CORRUPT
THE GOVERNMENTS

688
00:35:59,433 --> 00:36:01,800
AND GET THEM TO ACCEPT
THESE HUGE LOANS,

689
00:36:01,833 --> 00:36:04,767
WHICH WE THEN USE AS LEVERAGE
TO BASICALLY OWN THEM.

690
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,233
IF WE FAIL, AS I FAILED
IN PANAMA WITH OMAR TORRIJOS

691
00:36:09,267 --> 00:36:11,600
AND IN ECUADOR
WITH JAIME ROLDóS --

692
00:36:11,633 --> 00:36:13,567
MEN WHO REFUSED
TO BE CORRUPTED --

693
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,267
THEN THE SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
IS, WE SEND IN THE JACKALS,

694
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:18,100
AND THE JACKALS
EITHER OVERTHROW GOVERNMENTS,

695
00:36:18,133 --> 00:36:19,433
OR THEY ASSASSINATE.

696
00:36:19,467 --> 00:36:22,533
AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS
AND A NEW GOVERNMENT COMES IN,

697
00:36:22,567 --> 00:36:24,067
BOY, IT'S GONNA TOE THE LINE

698
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:27,267
BECAUSE THE NEW PRESIDENT KNOWS
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HE DOESN'T.

699
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:30,967
IN THE CASE OF IRAQ,
BOTH OF THOSE THINGS FAILED.

700
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,267
ECONOMIC HIT MEN WERE NOT ABLE

701
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:33,600
TO GET THROUGH
TO SADDAM HUSSEIN.

702
00:36:33,633 --> 00:36:34,900
WE TRIED VERY HARD.

703
00:36:34,933 --> 00:36:37,100
WE TRIED TO GET HIM
TO ACCEPT A DEAL VERY SIMILAR

704
00:36:37,133 --> 00:36:40,367
TO WHAT THE HOUSE OF SAUD
HAD ACCEPTED IN SAUDI ARABIA,

705
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,767
BUT HE WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT.

706
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,100
AND SO THE JACKALS
WENT IN TO TAKE HIM OUT.

707
00:36:44,133 --> 00:36:47,200
THEY COULDN'T DO IT.
HIS SECURITY WAS VERY GOOD.

708
00:36:47,233 --> 00:36:49,900
AFTER ALL, HE HAD ONE TIME
WORKED FOR THE C.I.A.

709
00:36:49,933 --> 00:36:53,367
HE'D BEEN HIRED TO ASSASSINATE
A FORMER PRESIDENT OF IRAQ

710
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,367
AND FAILED.

711
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,233
BUT HE KNEW THE SYSTEM.

712
00:36:56,267 --> 00:36:58,933
SO, IN '91,
WE SENT IN THE TROOPS,

713
00:36:58,967 --> 00:37:02,033
AND WE TAKE OUT
THE IRAQI MILITARY.

714
00:37:02,067 --> 00:37:03,567
SO WE ASSUME AT THAT POINT

715
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,133
THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN
IS GONNA COME AROUND.

716
00:37:06,167 --> 00:37:08,800
WE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OUT,
OF COURSE, AT THE TIME,

717
00:37:08,833 --> 00:37:10,133
BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO.

718
00:37:10,167 --> 00:37:12,300
HE'S THE KIND OF STRONG MAN
WE LIKE.

719
00:37:12,333 --> 00:37:13,633
HE CONTROLS HIS PEOPLE.

720
00:37:13,667 --> 00:37:15,367
WE THOUGHT
HE COULD CONTROL THE KURDS

721
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,000
AND KEEP THE IRANIANS
IN THEIR BORDER

722
00:37:17,033 --> 00:37:18,367
AND KEEP PUMPING OIL FOR US.

723
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,100
AND THEN ONCE WE TOOK OUT
HIS MILITARY,

724
00:37:20,133 --> 00:37:21,700
NOW HE'S GONNA COME AROUND.

725
00:37:21,733 --> 00:37:25,933
SO THE ECONOMIC HIT MEN GO BACK
IN IN THE '90s WITHOUT SUCCESS.

726
00:37:25,967 --> 00:37:29,100
IF THEY'D HAD SUCCESS, HE'D
STILL BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY.

727
00:37:29,133 --> 00:37:31,367
WE'D BE SELLING HIM
ALL THE FIGHTER JETS HE WANTS

728
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,833
AND EVERYTHING ELSE HE WANTS.

729
00:37:32,867 --> 00:37:35,300
BUT THEY COULDN'T.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE SUCCESS.

730
00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:37,200
THE JACKALS
COULDN'T TAKE HIM OUT AGAIN.

731
00:37:37,233 --> 00:37:39,100
SO WE SENT THE MILITARY IN
ONCE AGAIN,

732
00:37:39,133 --> 00:37:41,600
AND THIS TIME, WE DID THE
COMPLETE JOB AND TOOK HIM OUT,

733
00:37:41,633 --> 00:37:43,600
AND IN THE PROCESS,
CREATED OURSELVES

734
00:37:43,633 --> 00:37:47,200
SOME VERY, VERY LUCRATIVE
CONSTRUCTION DEALS

735
00:37:47,233 --> 00:37:50,100
TO RECONSTRUCT A COUNTRY
THAT WE'D ESSENTIALLY DESTROYED,

736
00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:51,333
WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD DEAL

737
00:37:51,367 --> 00:37:54,700
IF YOU OWN CONSTRUCTION
COMPANIES -- BIG ONES.

738
00:37:54,733 --> 00:37:58,533
SO, YOU KNOW,
IRAQ SHOWS THE THREE STAGES.

739
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:00,633
THE ECONOMIC HIT MEN
FAILED THERE.

740
00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:02,000
THE JACKALS FAILED THERE.

741
00:38:02,033 --> 00:38:06,400
AND AS A FINAL MEASURE,
THE MILITARY GOES IN.

742
00:38:08,267 --> 00:38:11,100
AND IN THAT WAY,
WE'VE REALLY CREATED AN EMPIRE.

743
00:38:11,133 --> 00:38:13,000
BUT WE'VE DONE IT
VERY, VERY SUBTLY.

744
00:38:13,033 --> 00:38:14,467
IT'S CLANDESTINE.

745
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:17,133
ALL THE EMPIRES OF THE PAST
WERE BUILT ON THE MILITARY,

746
00:38:17,167 --> 00:38:18,833
AND EVERYBODY KNEW
THEY WERE BUILDING THEM.

747
00:38:18,867 --> 00:38:20,267
THE BRITISH
KNEW THEY WERE BUILDING THEM,

748
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:23,567
THE FRENCH, THE GERMANS,
THE ROMANS, THE GREEKS.

749
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,967
AND THEY WERE PROUD OF IT.

750
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,033
AND THEY ALWAYS HAD SOME EXCUSE,
LIKE SPREADING CIVILIZATION,

751
00:38:28,067 --> 00:38:30,467
SPREADING SOME RELIGION,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

752
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:32,700
BUT THEY KNEW
THEY WERE DOING IT.

753
00:38:32,733 --> 00:38:33,967
WE DON'T.

754
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,700
THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE
IN THE UNITED STATES

755
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:39,633
HAVE NO IDEA THAT
WE'RE LIVING OFF THE BENEFITS

756
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:41,433
OF A CLANDESTINE EMPIRE,

757
00:38:41,467 --> 00:38:45,967
THAT TODAY THERE'S MORE SLAVERY
IN THE WORLD THAN EVER BEFORE.

758
00:38:47,533 --> 00:38:48,800
AND THEN YOU HAVE
TO ASK YOURSELF,

759
00:38:48,833 --> 00:38:51,900
"WELL, IF IT'S AN EMPIRE,
THEN WHO'S THE EMPEROR?"

760
00:38:51,933 --> 00:38:55,733
OBVIOUSLY, OUR PRESIDENTS OF THE
UNITED STATES ARE NOT EMPERORS.

761
00:38:55,767 --> 00:38:57,600
AN EMPEROR'S SOMEONE
WHO'S NOT ELECTED,

762
00:38:57,633 --> 00:38:59,600
DOESN'T SERVE A LIMITED TERM,

763
00:38:59,633 --> 00:39:01,900
AND DOESN'T REPORT TO ANYONE,
ESSENTIALLY.

764
00:39:01,933 --> 00:39:05,833
SO YOU CAN'T CLASSIFY
OUR PRESIDENTS THAT WAY.

765
00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:07,333
BUT WE DO HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER

766
00:39:07,367 --> 00:39:08,867
TO BE THE EQUIVALENT
OF THE EMPEROR.

767
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:12,067
AND IT'S WHAT I CALL
THE CORPORATOCRACY.

768
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:15,633
THE CORPORATOCRACY
IS THIS GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS

769
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:17,033
WHO RUN
OUR BIGGEST CORPORATIONS,

770
00:39:17,067 --> 00:39:20,467
AND THEY REALLY ACT
AS THE EMPEROR OF THIS EMPIRE.

771
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,500
THEY CONTROL OUR MEDIA

772
00:39:23,533 --> 00:39:26,300
EITHER THROUGH DIRECT OWNERSHIP
OR ADVERTISING.

773
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:29,367
THEY CONTROL
MOST OF OUR POLITICIANS

774
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,167
BECAUSE THEY FINANCE
THEIR CAMPAIGNS,

775
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,633
EITHER THROUGH
THEIR CORPORATIONS

776
00:39:32,667 --> 00:39:34,133
OR THROUGH
PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

777
00:39:34,167 --> 00:39:36,033
THAT COME OUT OF CORPORATIONS.

778
00:39:36,067 --> 00:39:38,733
THEY'RE NOT ELECTED, AND THEY
DON'T SERVE A LIMITED TERM.

779
00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:40,400
THEY DON'T REPORT TO ANYBODY.

780
00:39:40,433 --> 00:39:43,267
AND AT THE VERY TOP
OF THE CORPORATOCRACY,

781
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,900
YOU REALLY CAN'T TELL
WHETHER THE PERSON'S

782
00:39:44,933 --> 00:39:47,167
WORKING FOR A PRIVATE
CORPORATION OR THE GOVERNMENT

783
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,233
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS MOVING
BACK AND FORTH.

784
00:39:49,267 --> 00:39:51,533
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A GUY
WHO, ONE MOMENT,

785
00:39:51,567 --> 00:39:53,933
IS THE PRESIDENT
OF A BIG CONSTRUCTION COMPANY,

786
00:39:53,967 --> 00:39:55,433
LIKE HALLIBURTON,

787
00:39:55,467 --> 00:39:58,033
AND THE NEXT MOMENT, HE'S VICE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,

788
00:39:58,067 --> 00:40:00,033
OR THE PRESIDENT
WHO WAS IN THE OIL BUSINESS.

789
00:40:00,067 --> 00:40:02,133
AND THIS IS TRUE WHETHER YOU
GET DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS

790
00:40:02,167 --> 00:40:03,367
IN THE OFFICE.

791
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,367
YOU HAVE THEM
MOVING BACK AND FORTH

792
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,300
THROUGH THE REVOLVING DOOR.

793
00:40:07,333 --> 00:40:12,433
AND IN A WAY, OUR GOVERNMENT
IS INVISIBLE A LOT OF THE TIME,

794
00:40:12,467 --> 00:40:15,100
AND ITS POLICIES ARE CARRIED OUT
BY OUR CORPORATIONS

795
00:40:15,133 --> 00:40:16,667
ON ONE LEVEL OR ANOTHER.

796
00:40:16,700 --> 00:40:19,333
AND THEN AGAIN,
THE POLICIES OF THE GOVERNMENT

797
00:40:19,367 --> 00:40:23,633
ARE BASICALLY FORGED
BY THE CORPORATOCRACY

798
00:40:23,667 --> 00:40:24,933
AND THEN PRESENTED
TO THE GOVERNMENT,

799
00:40:24,967 --> 00:40:26,233
AND THEY BECOME
GOVERNMENT POLICY.

800
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:30,000
SO IT'S
AN INCREDIBLY COZY RELATIONSHIP.

801
00:40:30,033 --> 00:40:31,967
THIS ISN'T A CONSPIRACY-THEORY
TYPE OF THING.

802
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,533
THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GET
TOGETHER AND PLOT TO DO THINGS.

803
00:40:35,567 --> 00:40:39,300
THEY ALL BASICALLY WORK
UNDER ONE PRIMARY ASSUMPTION,

804
00:40:39,333 --> 00:40:42,300
AND THAT IS THAT THEY
MUST MAXIMIZE PROFITS,

805
00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:46,133
REGARDLESS OF THE SOCIAL
AND ENVIRONMENTAL COST.

806
00:40:50,567 --> 00:40:54,300
-THIS PROCESS OF MANIPULATION
BY THE CORPORATOCRACY

807
00:40:54,333 --> 00:40:57,900
THROUGH THE USE OF DEBTS,
BRIBERY, AND POLITICAL OVERTHROW

808
00:40:57,933 --> 00:41:00,300
IS CALLED GLOBALIZATION.

809
00:41:00,333 --> 00:41:03,733
JUST AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE
KEEPS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC

810
00:41:03,767 --> 00:41:06,100
IN A POSITION
OF INDENTURED SERVITUDE

811
00:41:06,133 --> 00:41:09,367
THROUGH PERPETUAL DEBT,
INFLATION, AND INTEREST,

812
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,600
THE WORLD BANK AND I.M.F. SERVE
THIS ROLE ON A GLOBAL SCALE.

813
00:41:13,633 --> 00:41:15,500
THE BASIC SCAM IS SIMPLE --

814
00:41:15,533 --> 00:41:18,533
PUT A COUNTRY IN DEBT
EITHER BY ITS OWN INDISCRETION

815
00:41:18,567 --> 00:41:21,233
OR THROUGH CORRUPTING
THE LEADER OF THAT COUNTRY,

816
00:41:21,267 --> 00:41:26,033
THEN IMPOSE CONDITIONALITIES OR
STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT POLICIES,

817
00:41:26,067 --> 00:41:29,400
OFTEN CONSISTING
OF THE FOLLOWING --

818
00:41:29,433 --> 00:41:31,300
CURRENCY DEVALUATION.

819
00:41:31,333 --> 00:41:33,067
WHEN THE VALUE
OF A CURRENCY DROPS,

820
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:35,233
SO DOES EVERYTHING VALUED IN IT.

821
00:41:35,267 --> 00:41:38,833
THIS MAKES INDIGENOUS RESOURCES
AVAILABLE TO PREDATOR COUNTRIES

822
00:41:38,867 --> 00:41:42,233
AT A FRACTION OF THEIR WORTH.

823
00:41:42,267 --> 00:41:44,933
LARGE FUNDING CUTS
FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS.

824
00:41:44,967 --> 00:41:47,833
THESE USUALLY INCLUDE
EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE,

825
00:41:47,867 --> 00:41:50,900
COMPROMISING THE WELL-BEING
AND INTEGRITY OF THE SOCIETY,

826
00:41:50,933 --> 00:41:54,333
LEAVING THE PUBLIC
VULNERABLE TO EXPLOITATION.

827
00:41:54,367 --> 00:41:57,133
PRIVATIZATION
OF STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES.

828
00:41:57,167 --> 00:41:59,700
THIS MEANS
THAT SOCIALLY IMPORTANT SYSTEMS

829
00:41:59,733 --> 00:42:03,067
CAN BE PURCHASED AND REGULATED
BY FOREIGN CORPORATIONS

830
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:04,467
FOR PROFIT.

831
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:06,467
FOR EXAMPLE, IN 1999,

832
00:42:06,500 --> 00:42:09,467
THE WORLD BANK INSISTED
THAT THE BOLIVIAN GOVERNMENT

833
00:42:09,500 --> 00:42:13,000
SELL THE PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM
OF ITS THIRD-LARGEST CITY

834
00:42:13,033 --> 00:42:16,333
TO A SUBSIDY
OF THE U.S. CORPORATION BECHTEL.

835
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:18,333
AS SOON AS THIS OCCURRED,
WATER BILLS

836
00:42:18,367 --> 00:42:22,200
FOR THE ALREADY-IMPOVERISHED
LOCAL RESIDENTS SKYROCKETED.

837
00:42:22,233 --> 00:42:25,800
IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER A
FULL-BLOWN REVOLT BY THE PEOPLE

838
00:42:25,833 --> 00:42:28,800
THAT THE BECHTEL CONTRACT
WAS NULLIFIED.

839
00:42:31,533 --> 00:42:34,433
THEN THERE'S
TRADE LIBERALIZATION,

840
00:42:34,467 --> 00:42:36,433
OR THE OPENING UP OF THE ECONOMY

841
00:42:36,467 --> 00:42:39,133
THROUGH REMOVING ANY
RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN TRADE.

842
00:42:39,167 --> 00:42:43,133
THIS ALLOWS FOR A NUMBER OF
ABUSIVE ECONOMIC MANIFESTATIONS,

843
00:42:43,167 --> 00:42:45,333
SUCH AS
TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

844
00:42:45,367 --> 00:42:48,100
BRINGING IN THEIR OWN
MASS-PRODUCED PRODUCTS,

845
00:42:48,133 --> 00:42:50,200
UNDERCUTTING
THE INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

846
00:42:50,233 --> 00:42:52,667
AND RUINING LOCAL ECONOMIES.

847
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:54,600
AN EXAMPLE IS JAMAICA,

848
00:42:54,633 --> 00:42:57,633
WHICH, AFTER ACCEPTING LOANS
AND CONDITIONALITIES

849
00:42:57,667 --> 00:42:58,867
FROM THE WORLD BANK,

850
00:42:58,900 --> 00:43:01,333
LOST ITS LARGEST
CASH-CROP MARKETS

851
00:43:01,367 --> 00:43:04,367
DUE TO COMPETITION
WITH WESTERN IMPORTS.

852
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,167
TODAY, COUNTLESS FARMERS
ARE OUT OF WORK,

853
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,667
FOR THEY ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE
WITH THE LARGE CORPORATIONS.

854
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:13,833
ANOTHER VARIATION
IS THE CREATION

855
00:43:13,867 --> 00:43:17,033
OF NUMEROUS SEEMINGLY UNNOTICED,
UNREGULATED,

856
00:43:17,067 --> 00:43:19,767
INHUMANE SWEATSHOP FACTORIES,

857
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,700
WHICH TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE IMPOSED ECONOMIC HARDSHIP.

858
00:43:23,733 --> 00:43:26,767
ADDITIONALLY,
DUE TO PRODUCTION DEREGULATION,

859
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,167
ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION
IS PERPETUAL,

860
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,000
AS A COUNTRY'S RESOURCES
ARE OFTEN EXPLOITED

861
00:43:32,033 --> 00:43:33,667
BY THE INDIFFERENT CORPORATIONS

862
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:37,867
WHILE OUTPUTTING LARGE AMOUNTS
OF DELIBERATE POLLUTION.

863
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:40,333
-THE LARGEST
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWSUIT

864
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:41,933
IN THE HISTORY
OF THE WORLD TODAY

865
00:43:41,967 --> 00:43:43,467
IS BEING BROUGHT ON BEHALF

866
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:48,500
OF 30,000 ECUADORIAN AND
AMAZONIAN PEOPLE AGAINST TEXACO,

867
00:43:48,533 --> 00:43:50,900
WHICH IS NOW OWNED BY CHEVRON --
SO IT'S AGAINST CHEVRON --

868
00:43:50,933 --> 00:43:53,667
BUT FOR ACTIVITIES
CONDUCTED BY TEXACO.

869
00:43:53,700 --> 00:43:58,167
THEY ESTIMATE IT TO BE MORE THAN
18 TIMES WHAT THE EXXON VALDEZ

870
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,633
DUMPED INTO THE COAST OF ALASKA.

871
00:44:00,667 --> 00:44:03,467
IN THE CASE OF ECUADOR,
IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

872
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:05,033
THE OIL COMPANIES
DID IT INTENTIONALLY.

873
00:44:05,067 --> 00:44:07,667
THEY KNEW THEY WERE DOING IT
TO SAVE MONEY OUT THERE,

874
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:11,300
RATHER THAN ARRANGING
FOR A PROPER DISPOSAL.

875
00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:13,633
-FURTHERMORE, A CURSORY GLANCE

876
00:44:13,667 --> 00:44:15,700
AT THE PERFORMANCE RECORD
OF THE WORLD BANK

877
00:44:15,733 --> 00:44:18,600
REVEALS THAT THE INSTITUTION,
WHICH PUBLICLY CLAIMS

878
00:44:18,633 --> 00:44:21,733
TO HELP POOR COUNTRIES DEVELOP
AND ALLEVIATE POVERTY,

879
00:44:21,767 --> 00:44:24,900
HAS DONE NOTHING BUT INCREASE
POVERTY AND THE WEALTH GAP

880
00:44:24,933 --> 00:44:27,233
WHILE CORPORATE PROFITS SOAR.

881
00:44:27,267 --> 00:44:29,700
IN 1960, THE INCOME GAP

882
00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:32,967
BETWEEN THE 1/5 OF THE WORLD'S
PEOPLE IN THE RICHEST COUNTRIES

883
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,300
VERSUS THE 1/5 IN THE POOREST
COUNTRIES WAS 30 TO 1.

884
00:44:37,333 --> 00:44:41,667
BY 1998, IT WAS 74 TO 1.

885
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:46,733
WHILE GLOBAL GNP ROSE 40%
BETWEEN 1970 AND 1985,

886
00:44:46,767 --> 00:44:50,967
THOSE IN POVERTY
ACTUALLY INCREASED BY 17%.

887
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,500
WHILE FROM 1985 TO 2000,

888
00:44:53,533 --> 00:44:59,667
THOSE LIVING ON LESS THAN ONE
DOLLAR A DAY INCREASED BY 18%.

889
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:03,833
EVEN THE JOINT ECONOMIC
COMMITTEE OF THE U.S. CONGRESS

890
00:45:03,867 --> 00:45:07,233
ADMITTED THAT THERE
IS A MERE 40% SUCCESS RATE

891
00:45:07,267 --> 00:45:09,633
OF ALL WORLD BANK PROJECTS.

892
00:45:09,667 --> 00:45:11,033
IN THE LATE 1960s,

893
00:45:11,067 --> 00:45:14,767
THE WORLD BANK INTERVENED
IN ECUADOR WITH LARGE LOANS.

894
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,500
DURING THE NEXT 30 YEARS,
POVERTY GREW FROM 50% TO 70%.

895
00:45:19,533 --> 00:45:24,033
UNDER- OR UNEMPLOYMENT
GREW FROM 15% TO 70%.

896
00:45:24,067 --> 00:45:29,067
PUBLIC DEBT INCREASED FROM
$240 MILLION TO $16 BILLION,

897
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:32,000
WHILE THE SHARE OF RESOURCES
ALLOCATED TO THE POOR

898
00:45:32,033 --> 00:45:35,667
WENT FROM 20% TO 6%.

899
00:45:35,700 --> 00:45:40,433
IN FACT, BY THE YEAR 2000,
50% OF ECUADOR'S NATIONAL BUDGET

900
00:45:40,467 --> 00:45:43,833
HAD TO BE ALLOCATED
FOR PAYING ITS DEBTS.

901
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,533
IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
THE WORLD BANK

902
00:45:49,567 --> 00:45:53,767
IS, IN FACT, A U.S. BANK
SUPPORTING U.S. INTERESTS,

903
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,267
FOR THE UNITED STATES
HOLDS VETO POWER OVER DECISIONS,

904
00:45:57,300 --> 00:46:00,200
AS IT IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER
OF CAPITAL.

905
00:46:00,233 --> 00:46:01,867
AND WHERE DID IT GET THIS MONEY?

906
00:46:01,900 --> 00:46:03,067
YOU GUESSED IT.

907
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:04,400
IT MADE IT OUT OF THIN AIR

908
00:46:04,433 --> 00:46:07,367
THROUGH THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE
BANKING SYSTEM.

909
00:46:08,833 --> 00:46:11,300
OF THE WORLD'S
TOP 100 ECONOMIES,

910
00:46:11,333 --> 00:46:13,567
AS BASED ON ANNUAL GDP,

911
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,867
51 ARE CORPORATIONS,

912
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:19,600
AND 47 OF THAT 51
ARE U.S.-BASED.

913
00:46:19,633 --> 00:46:22,100
WALMART,
GENERAL MOTORS, AND EXXON

914
00:46:22,133 --> 00:46:24,200
ARE MORE ECONOMICALLY POWERFUL

915
00:46:24,233 --> 00:46:28,800
THAN SAUDI ARABIA, POLAND,
NORWAY, SOUTH AFRICA,

916
00:46:28,833 --> 00:46:32,067
FINLAND, INDONESIA,
AND MANY OTHERS.

917
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:35,933
AND AS PROTECTIVE TRADE BARRIERS
ARE BROKEN DOWN,

918
00:46:35,967 --> 00:46:37,433
CURRENCIES TOSSED TOGETHER

919
00:46:37,467 --> 00:46:39,367
AND MANIPULATED
IN FLOATING MARKETS

920
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,667
AND STATE ECONOMIES OVERTURNED

921
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:45,433
IN FAVOR OF OPEN COMPETITION
AND GLOBAL CAPITALISM,

922
00:46:45,467 --> 00:46:48,833
THE EMPIRE EXPANDS.

923
00:46:48,867 --> 00:46:54,400
-YOU GET UP
ON YOUR LITTLE 21-INCH SCREEN

924
00:46:54,433 --> 00:47:00,167
AND HOWL ABOUT AMERICA
AND DEMOCRACY.

925
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,933
THERE IS NO AMERICA.

926
00:47:01,967 --> 00:47:04,633
THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY.

927
00:47:04,667 --> 00:47:09,867
THERE IS ONLY IBM AND I.T.T.
AND ATandT

928
00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:12,267
AND DUPONT, DOW,

929
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:16,100
UNION CARBIDE, AND EXXON.

930
00:47:16,133 --> 00:47:19,433
THOSE ARE THE NATIONS
OF THE WORLD TODAY.

931
00:47:19,467 --> 00:47:21,100
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE RUSSIANS

932
00:47:21,133 --> 00:47:22,933
TALK ABOUT
IN THEIR COUNSELS OF STATE --

933
00:47:22,967 --> 00:47:24,333
KARL MARX?

934
00:47:24,367 --> 00:47:26,733
THEY GET OUT
THEIR LINEAR-PROGRAMMING CHARTS,

935
00:47:26,767 --> 00:47:29,400
STATISTICAL DECISION THEORIES,
MIN AND MAX SOLUTIONS,

936
00:47:29,433 --> 00:47:31,267
AND COMPUTE
THE PRICE-COST PROBABILITIES

937
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:34,333
OF THEIR TRANSACTIONS AND
INVESTMENTS, JUST LIKE WE DO.

938
00:47:34,367 --> 00:47:35,600
WE NO LONGER LIVE

939
00:47:35,633 --> 00:47:39,467
IN A WORLD OF NATIONS
AND IDEOLOGIES, MR. BEALE.

940
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:44,633
THE WORLD
IS A COLLEGE OF CORPORATIONS

941
00:47:44,667 --> 00:47:45,900
INEXORABLY DETERMINED

942
00:47:45,933 --> 00:47:50,900
BY THE IMMUTABLE BYLAWS
OF BUSINESS.

943
00:47:53,433 --> 00:47:56,900
THE WORLD IS A BUSINESS,
MR. BEALE.

944
00:48:27,100 --> 00:48:31,867
-THE WORLD IS BEING TAKEN OVER
BY A HANDFUL OF BUSINESS POWERS

945
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:34,800
WHO DOMINATE THE NATURAL
RESOURCES WE NEED TO LIVE

946
00:48:34,833 --> 00:48:38,533
WHILE CONTROLLING THE MONEY WE
NEED TO OBTAIN THESE RESOURCES.

947
00:48:38,567 --> 00:48:41,667
THE END RESULT
WILL BE WORLD MONOPOLY,

948
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:46,700
BASED NOT ON HUMAN LIFE, BUT
FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE POWER.

949
00:48:46,733 --> 00:48:49,300
AND AS THE INEQUALITY GROWS,

950
00:48:49,333 --> 00:48:52,967
NATURALLY, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE BECOMING DESPERATE,

951
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,400
SO THE ESTABLISHMENT WAS FORCED
TO COME UP WITH A NEW WAY

952
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:59,800
TO DEAL WITH ANYONE
WHO CHALLENGES THE SYSTEM.

953
00:48:59,833 --> 00:49:03,133
SO THEY GAVE BIRTH
TO THE TERRORIST.

954
00:49:03,167 --> 00:49:06,500
THE TERM "TERRORIST"
IS AN EMPTY DISTINCTION

955
00:49:06,533 --> 00:49:08,633
DESIGNED FOR ANY PERSON OR GROUP

956
00:49:08,667 --> 00:49:11,367
WHO CHOOSES TO CHALLENGE
THE ESTABLISHMENT.

957
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,100
THIS ISN'T TO BE CONFUSED
WITH THE FICTIONAL AL-QAEDA,

958
00:49:15,133 --> 00:49:18,000
WHICH WAS ACTUALLY THE NAME
OF A COMPUTER DATABASE

959
00:49:18,033 --> 00:49:21,067
OF THE U.S.-SUPPORTED MUJAHIDEEN
IN THE 1980s.

960
00:49:32,767 --> 00:49:39,467
IN 2007, THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE RECEIVED $161.8 BILLION

961
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:42,600
FOR THE SO-CALLED
GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.

962
00:49:42,633 --> 00:49:45,800
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER,

963
00:49:45,833 --> 00:49:50,067
IN 2004, ROUGHLY 2,000 PEOPLE
WERE KILLED INTERNATIONALLY

964
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:52,400
DUE TO SUPPOSED TERRORIST ACTS.

965
00:49:52,433 --> 00:49:56,033
OF THAT NUMBER,
70 WERE AMERICAN.

966
00:49:56,067 --> 00:49:58,500
USING THIS NUMBER
AS A GENERAL AVERAGE,

967
00:49:58,533 --> 00:50:00,667
WHICH IS EXTREMELY GENEROUS,

968
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:02,100
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE

969
00:50:02,133 --> 00:50:05,700
THAT TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE DIE
FROM PEANUT ALLERGIES A YEAR

970
00:50:05,733 --> 00:50:09,100
THAN FROM TERRORIST ACTS.

971
00:50:09,133 --> 00:50:12,067
CONCURRENTLY, THE LEADING CAUSE
OF DEATH IN AMERICA

972
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:13,833
IS CORONARY HEART DISEASE,

973
00:50:13,867 --> 00:50:18,167
KILLING ROUGHLY 450,000
EACH YEAR.

974
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,933
AND IN 2007,

975
00:50:19,967 --> 00:50:23,533
THE GOVERNMENT'S ALLOCATION OF
FUNDS FOR RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE

976
00:50:23,567 --> 00:50:25,800
WAS ABOUT $3 BILLION.

977
00:50:25,833 --> 00:50:29,133
THIS MEANS
THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN 2007

978
00:50:29,167 --> 00:50:33,567
SPENT 54 TIMES THE AMOUNT
FOR PREVENTING TERRORISM

979
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,000
THAN IT SPENT
FOR PREVENTING A DISEASE

980
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:40,600
WHICH KILLS 6,600 TIMES
MORE PEOPLE ANNUALLY

981
00:50:40,633 --> 00:50:42,867
THAN TERRORISM DOES.

982
00:50:45,533 --> 00:50:48,533
YET AS THE NAME "TERRORISM"
AND "AL-QAEDA"

983
00:50:48,567 --> 00:50:51,200
ARE ARBITRARILY STAMPED
ON EVERY NEWS REPORT

984
00:50:51,233 --> 00:50:54,700
RELATING TO ANY ACTION
TAKEN AGAINST U.S. INTERESTS,

985
00:50:54,733 --> 00:50:56,200
THE MYTH GROWS WIDER.

986
00:50:56,233 --> 00:50:59,200
IN MID-2008,
THE U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL

987
00:50:59,233 --> 00:51:01,900
ACTUALLY PROPOSED
THAT THE U.S. CONGRESS

988
00:51:01,933 --> 00:51:05,967
OFFICIALLY DECLARE WAR
AGAINST THE FANTASY.

989
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,933
NOT TO MENTION AS OF JULY 2008,

990
00:51:08,967 --> 00:51:11,367
THERE ARE
NOW OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE

991
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,000
CURRENTLY ON THE U.S. TERRORIST
WATCH LIST.

992
00:51:16,667 --> 00:51:19,033
THESE SO-CALLED
COUNTERTERRORISM MEASURES,

993
00:51:19,067 --> 00:51:22,100
OF COURSE, HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH SOCIAL PROTECTION

994
00:51:22,133 --> 00:51:25,600
AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
PRESERVING THE ESTABLISHMENT

995
00:51:25,633 --> 00:51:28,467
AMONGST THE GROWING
ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT

996
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:31,433
BOTH DOMESTICALLY
AND INTERNATIONALLY,

997
00:51:31,467 --> 00:51:33,500
WHICH IS LEGITIMATELY FOUNDED

998
00:51:33,533 --> 00:51:36,533
ON THE GREED-BASED
CORPORATE-EMPIRE EXPANSION

999
00:51:36,567 --> 00:51:38,800
THAT IS EXPLOITING THE WORLD.

1000
00:51:40,167 --> 00:51:42,533
THE TRUE TERRORISTS OF OUR WORLD

1001
00:51:42,567 --> 00:51:44,967
DO NOT MEET
AT THE DOCKS AT MIDNIGHT

1002
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,367
OR SCREAM "ALLAHU AKBAR"
BEFORE SOME VIOLENT ACTION.

1003
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,833
THE TRUE TERRORISTS OF OUR WORLD
WEAR $5,000 SUITS

1004
00:51:53,867 --> 00:51:55,733
AND WORK
IN THE HIGHEST POSITIONS

1005
00:51:55,767 --> 00:51:59,267
OF FINANCE, GOVERNMENT,
AND BUSINESS.

1006
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,033
SO, WHAT DO WE DO?

1007
00:52:05,067 --> 00:52:07,533
HOW DO WE STOP A SYSTEM
OF GREED AND CORRUPTION

1008
00:52:07,567 --> 00:52:10,000
THAT HAS
SO MUCH POWER AND MOMENTUM?

1009
00:52:10,033 --> 00:52:12,433
HOW DO WE STOP
THIS ABERRANT GROUP BEHAVIOR

1010
00:52:12,467 --> 00:52:15,467
WHICH FEELS NO COMPASSION
FOR, SAY, THE MILLIONS

1011
00:52:15,500 --> 00:52:18,033
SLAUGHTERED
IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

1012
00:52:18,067 --> 00:52:19,600
SO THE CORPORATOCRACY

1013
00:52:19,633 --> 00:52:22,867
CAN CONTROL ENERGY RESOURCES
AND OPIUM PRODUCTION

1014
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:25,000
FOR WALL STREET PROFIT?

1015
00:53:05,733 --> 00:53:08,167
-OH, MAN!
ANOTHER ONE!

1016
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,533
-HOW DO WE STOP A SYSTEM
OF GREED AND CORRUPTION

1017
00:53:19,567 --> 00:53:22,900
THAT CONDEMNS POOR POPULATIONS
TO SWEATSHOP SLAVERY

1018
00:53:22,933 --> 00:53:25,733
FOR THE BENEFIT
OF MADISON AVENUE?

1019
00:53:25,767 --> 00:53:28,733
OR THAT ENGINEERS
FALSE-FLAG TERROR ATTACKS

1020
00:53:28,767 --> 00:53:31,100
FOR THE SAKE OF MANIPULATION?

1021
00:53:31,133 --> 00:53:34,833
OR THAT GENERATES BUILT-IN MODES
OF SOCIAL OPERATION

1022
00:53:34,867 --> 00:53:37,867
WHICH ARE
INHERENTLY EXPLOITATIVE?

1023
00:53:37,900 --> 00:53:41,200
OR THAT SYSTEMATICALLY REDUCES
CIVIL LIBERTIES

1024
00:53:41,233 --> 00:53:42,767
AND VIOLATES HUMAN RIGHTS

1025
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,133
IN ORDER TO PROTECT ITSELF
FROM ITS OWN SHORTCOMINGS?

1026
00:53:47,167 --> 00:53:50,400
HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE NUMEROUS
COVERT INSTITUTIONS,

1027
00:53:50,433 --> 00:53:52,433
SUCH AS THE COUNCIL
ON FOREIGN RELATIONS,

1028
00:53:52,467 --> 00:53:54,967
THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION,
AND THE BILDERBERG GROUP

1029
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,500
AND OTHER
UNDEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GROUPS,

1030
00:53:57,533 --> 00:53:59,300
WHICH, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS,

1031
00:53:59,333 --> 00:54:02,733
COLLUDE TO CONTROL
THE POLITICAL, FINANCIAL,

1032
00:54:02,767 --> 00:54:06,600
SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL
ELEMENTS OF OUR LIVES?

1033
00:54:06,633 --> 00:54:09,033
IN ORDER TO FIND THE ANSWER,

1034
00:54:09,067 --> 00:54:13,067
WE MUST FIRST FIND
THE TRUE UNDERLYING CAUSE,

1035
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:14,900
FOR THE FACT IS,

1036
00:54:14,933 --> 00:54:18,867
THE SELFISH, CORRUPT
POWER- AND PROFIT-BASED GROUPS

1037
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:22,400
ARE NOT THE TRUE SOURCE
OF THE PROBLEM.

1038
00:54:22,433 --> 00:54:24,567
THEY ARE SYMPTOMS.

1039
00:54:40,900 --> 00:54:43,733
-MY NAME IS JACQUE FRESCO.

1040
00:54:43,767 --> 00:54:48,500
I'M AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
AND A SOCIAL ENGINEER.

1041
00:54:48,533 --> 00:54:53,000
I'M VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN
SOCIETY AND DEVELOPING A SYSTEM

1042
00:54:53,033 --> 00:54:56,367
THAT MIGHT BE SUSTAINABLE
FOR ALL PEOPLE.

1043
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,267
FIRST OF ALL,
THE WORD "CORRUPTION"

1044
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:04,200
IS A MONETARY INVENTION --
THAT ABERRANT BEHAVIOR --

1045
00:55:04,233 --> 00:55:08,233
BEHAVIOR THAT'S DISRUPTIVE
TO THE WELL-BEING OF PEOPLE.

1046
00:55:08,267 --> 00:55:11,533
WELL, YOU'RE DEALING
WITH HUMAN BEHAVIOR,

1047
00:55:11,567 --> 00:55:16,300
AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR APPEARS TO BE
ENVIRONMENTALLY DETERMINED,

1048
00:55:16,333 --> 00:55:21,133
MEANING IF YOU WERE RAISED BY
THE SEMINOLE INDIANS AS A BABY,

1049
00:55:21,167 --> 00:55:25,067
NEVER SAW ANYTHING ELSE,
YOU'D HOLD THAT VALUE SYSTEM.

1050
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:27,167
AND THIS GOES FOR NATIONS.

1051
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,767
IT GOES FOR INDIVIDUALS,
FOR FAMILIES --

1052
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,400
THEY TRY TO INDOCTRINATE
THEIR CHILDREN

1053
00:55:32,433 --> 00:55:35,533
TO THEIR PARTICULAR FAITH
AND THEIR COUNTRY

1054
00:55:35,567 --> 00:55:38,633
AND MAKE THEM FEEL
LIKE THEY'RE PART OF THAT.

1055
00:55:38,667 --> 00:55:43,867
AND THEY BUILD A SOCIETY,
WHICH THEY CALL ESTABLISHED.

1056
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:46,500
THEY ESTABLISH
A WORKABLE POINT OF VIEW

1057
00:55:46,533 --> 00:55:48,900
AND TEND TO PERPETUATE THAT,

1058
00:55:48,933 --> 00:55:54,500
WHEREAS ALL SOCIETIES ARE REALLY
EMERGENT, NOT ESTABLISHED.

1059
00:55:54,533 --> 00:55:57,633
AND SO, THEY FIGHT NEW IDEAS

1060
00:55:57,667 --> 00:56:01,633
THAT WOULD INTERFERE
WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT.

1061
00:56:01,667 --> 00:56:06,467
GOVERNMENTS TRY TO PERPETUATE
THAT WHICH KEEPS THEM IN POWER.

1062
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:09,833
PEOPLE ARE NOT ELECTED
TO POLITICAL OFFICE

1063
00:56:09,867 --> 00:56:11,467
TO CHANGE THINGS.

1064
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:14,667
THEY'RE PUT THERE
TO KEEP THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.

1065
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:19,633
SO, YOU SEE, THE BASIS
OF CORRUPTION IS IN OUR SOCIETY.

1066
00:56:19,667 --> 00:56:21,067
LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR --

1067
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:24,400
ALL NATIONS, THEN,
ARE BASICALLY CORRUPT

1068
00:56:24,433 --> 00:56:28,067
BECAUSE THEY TEND TO UPHOLD
EXISTING INSTITUTIONS.

1069
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:31,633
I DON'T MEAN TO UPHOLD
OR DOWNGRADE ALL NATIONS,

1070
00:56:31,667 --> 00:56:34,800
BUT COMMUNISM,
SOCIALISM, FASCISM,

1071
00:56:34,833 --> 00:56:38,833
THE FREE-ENTERPRISE SYSTEM,
AND ALL OTHER SUBCULTURES

1072
00:56:38,867 --> 00:56:39,867
ARE THE SAME.

1073
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:44,367
THEY ARE ALL BASICALLY CORRUPT.

1074
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,333
-THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL
CHARACTERISTIC

1075
00:56:46,367 --> 00:56:48,000
OF OUR SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS

1076
00:56:48,033 --> 00:56:51,033
IS THE NECESSITY
FOR SELF-PRESERVATION.

1077
00:56:51,067 --> 00:56:52,800
WHETHER DEALING
WITH A CORPORATION,

1078
00:56:52,833 --> 00:56:55,000
A RELIGION, OR A GOVERNMENT,

1079
00:56:55,033 --> 00:56:58,967
THE FOREMOST INTEREST IS TO
PRESERVE THE INSTITUTION ITSELF.

1080
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,167
FOR INSTANCE, THE LAST THING
AN OIL COMPANY WOULD EVER WANT

1081
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,833
IS THE UTILIZATION OF ENERGY
THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF ITS CONTROL,

1082
00:57:05,867 --> 00:57:10,200
FOR IT MAKES THAT COMPANY
LESS RELEVANT TO SOCIETY.

1083
00:57:10,233 --> 00:57:13,333
LIKEWISE, THE COLD WAR AND
THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION

1084
00:57:13,367 --> 00:57:16,833
WAS, IN REALITY, A WAY
TO PRESERVE AND PERPETUATE

1085
00:57:16,867 --> 00:57:19,433
THE ESTABLISHED ECONOMIC
AND GLOBAL HEGEMONY

1086
00:57:19,467 --> 00:57:22,700
OF THE UNITED STATES.

1087
00:57:22,733 --> 00:57:24,400
SIMILARLY, RELIGIONS

1088
00:57:24,433 --> 00:57:27,700
CONDITION PEOPLE TO FEEL GUILTY
FOR NATURAL INCLINATIONS,

1089
00:57:27,733 --> 00:57:29,833
EACH CLAIMING TO OFFER
THE ONLY PATH

1090
00:57:29,867 --> 00:57:32,967
TO FORGIVENESS AND SALVATION.

1091
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,867
AT THE HEART OF THIS
INSTITUTIONAL SELF-PRESERVATION

1092
00:57:35,900 --> 00:57:37,800
LIES THE MONETARY SYSTEM,

1093
00:57:37,833 --> 00:57:39,067
FOR IT IS MONEY

1094
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:43,000
THAT PROVIDES THE MEANS
FOR POWER AND SURVIVAL.

1095
00:57:43,033 --> 00:57:44,567
THEREFORE, JUST AS A POOR PERSON

1096
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,300
MIGHT BE FORCED TO STEAL
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE,

1097
00:57:47,333 --> 00:57:50,100
IT IS A NATURAL INCLINATION
TO DO WHATEVER IS NEEDED

1098
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:53,000
TO CONTINUE
AN INSTITUTION'S PROFITABILITY.

1099
00:57:53,033 --> 00:57:55,333
THIS MAKES IT
INHERENTLY DIFFICULT

1100
00:57:55,367 --> 00:57:57,833
FOR PROFIT-BASED INSTITUTIONS
TO CHANGE,

1101
00:57:57,867 --> 00:57:59,567
FOR IT PUTS IN JEOPARDY

1102
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,367
NOT ONLY THE SURVIVAL
OF LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE,

1103
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,100
BUT ALSO THE COVETED
MATERIALISTIC LIFESTYLES

1104
00:58:05,133 --> 00:58:08,733
ASSOCIATED
WITH AFFLUENCE AND POWER.

1105
00:58:08,767 --> 00:58:10,600
THEREFORE,
THE PARALYZING NECESSITY

1106
00:58:10,633 --> 00:58:12,267
TO PRESERVE AN INSTITUTION,

1107
00:58:12,300 --> 00:58:14,500
REGARDLESS
OF ITS SOCIAL RELEVANCE,

1108
00:58:14,533 --> 00:58:19,233
IS LARGELY ROOTED IN THE NEED
FOR MONEY, OR PROFIT.

1109
00:58:23,333 --> 00:58:27,733
-"WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?"
IS THE WAY PEOPLE THINK.

1110
00:58:27,767 --> 00:58:31,133
AND SO, IF A MAN MAKES MONEY
SELLING A CERTAIN PRODUCT,

1111
00:58:31,167 --> 00:58:35,267
NATURALLY, HE'S GONNA FIGHT
THE EXISTENCE OF ANOTHER PRODUCT

1112
00:58:35,300 --> 00:58:37,400
THAT MAY THREATEN
HIS INSTITUTION.

1113
00:58:39,433 --> 00:58:42,233
THEREFORE,
PEOPLE CANNOT BE FAIR,

1114
00:58:42,267 --> 00:58:45,167
AND PEOPLE
DO NOT TRUST EACH OTHER.

1115
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,633
A GUY WILL COME OVER TO YOU
AND SAY,

1116
00:58:46,667 --> 00:58:48,600
"I GOT JUST THE HOUSE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR."

1117
00:58:48,633 --> 00:58:50,033
HE'S A SALESMAN.

1118
00:58:50,067 --> 00:58:53,167
WHEN A DOCTOR SAYS, "I THINK
YOUR KIDNEY HAS TO COME OUT,"

1119
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,133
I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S TRYING
TO PAY OFF A YACHT

1120
00:58:56,167 --> 00:58:58,267
OR THAT MY KIDNEY
HAS TO COME OUT.

1121
00:58:58,300 --> 00:59:02,967
IT'S HARD IN A MONETARY SYSTEM
TO TRUST PEOPLE.

1122
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,667
IF YOU CAME INTO MY STORE
AND I SAID,

1123
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:07,367
"THIS LAMP THAT I'VE GOT
IS PRETTY GOOD,

1124
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,600
BUT THE LAMP NEXT DOOR
IS MUCH BETTER,"

1125
00:59:09,633 --> 00:59:11,600
I WOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS
VERY LONG.

1126
00:59:11,633 --> 00:59:12,800
IT WOULDN'T WORK.

1127
00:59:12,833 --> 00:59:15,667
IF I WERE ETHICAL,
IT WOULDN'T WORK.

1128
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:20,667
SO WHEN YOU SAY, "INDUSTRY CARES
FOR PEOPLE," THAT'S NOT TRUE.

1129
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:23,667
THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BE ETHICAL.

1130
00:59:23,700 --> 00:59:25,933
SO YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED

1131
00:59:25,967 --> 00:59:28,133
TO SERVE
THE WELL-BEING OF PEOPLE.

1132
00:59:28,167 --> 00:59:30,467
IF YOU STILL
DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT --

1133
00:59:30,500 --> 00:59:35,433
THERE WOULD BE NO OUTSOURCING OF
JOBS IF THEY CARED ABOUT PEOPLE.

1134
00:59:35,467 --> 00:59:36,867
INDUSTRY DOES NOT CARE.

1135
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:41,600
THEY ONLY HIRE PEOPLE 'CAUSE
IT HASN'T BEEN AUTOMATED YET.

1136
00:59:41,633 --> 00:59:44,700
SO DON'T TALK
ABOUT DECENCY AND ETHICS.

1137
00:59:44,733 --> 00:59:49,000
WE CANNOT AFFORD IT
AND REMAIN IN BUSINESS.

1138
00:59:49,033 --> 00:59:50,967
-IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT

1139
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,333
THAT REGARDLESS
OF THE SOCIAL SYSTEM,

1140
00:59:53,367 --> 00:59:57,333
WHETHER FASCIST, SOCIALIST,
CAPITALIST, OR COMMUNIST,

1141
00:59:57,367 --> 00:59:58,833
THE UNDERLYING MECHANISM

1142
00:59:58,867 --> 01:00:02,633
IS STILL MONEY,
LABOR, AND COMPETITION.

1143
01:00:02,667 --> 01:00:03,967
COMMUNIST CHINA

1144
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,900
IS NO LESS CAPITALISTIC
THAN THE UNITED STATES.

1145
01:00:06,933 --> 01:00:08,233
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE

1146
01:00:08,267 --> 01:00:12,733
IS THE DEGREE BY WHICH THE STATE
INTERVENES IN ENTERPRISE.

1147
01:00:12,767 --> 01:00:16,033
THE REALITY IS
THAT MONETARY-ISM, SO TO SPEAK,

1148
01:00:16,067 --> 01:00:18,767
IS THE TRUE MECHANISM
THAT GUIDES THE INTERESTS

1149
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,200
OF ALL THE COUNTRIES
ON THE PLANET.

1150
01:00:21,233 --> 01:00:24,000
THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
AND, HENCE, DOMINANT VARIATION

1151
01:00:24,033 --> 01:00:28,067
OF THIS MONETARY-ISM
IS THE FREE-ENTERPRISE SYSTEM.

1152
01:00:28,100 --> 01:00:30,000
THE FUNDAMENTAL PERSPECTIVE
AS PUT FORTH

1153
01:00:30,033 --> 01:00:33,467
BY EARLY FREE-MARKET ECONOMISTS
LIKE ADAM SMITH

1154
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:36,067
IS THAT SELF-INTEREST
IN COMPETITION

1155
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:38,000
LEADS TO SOCIAL PROSPERITY,

1156
01:00:38,033 --> 01:00:40,500
AS THE ACT OF COMPETITION
CREATES INCENTIVE,

1157
01:00:40,533 --> 01:00:42,900
WHICH MOTIVATES PEOPLE
TO PERSEVERE.

1158
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:46,933
HOWEVER, WHAT ISN'T TALKED ABOUT

1159
01:00:46,967 --> 01:00:49,000
IS HOW
A COMPETITION-BASED ECONOMY

1160
01:00:49,033 --> 01:00:52,000
INVARIABLY LEADS
TO STRATEGIC CORRUPTION...

1161
01:00:52,033 --> 01:00:53,967
POWER AND WEALTH
CONSOLIDATION...

1162
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,000
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION...

1163
01:00:56,033 --> 01:00:57,933
TECHNOLOGICAL PARALYSIS...

1164
01:00:57,967 --> 01:00:59,300
LABOR ABUSE...

1165
01:00:59,333 --> 01:01:04,000
AND ULTIMATELY A COVERT FORM
OF GOVERNMENT DICTATORSHIP

1166
01:01:04,033 --> 01:01:05,500
BY THE RICH ELITE.

1167
01:01:07,433 --> 01:01:11,633
THE WORD "CORRUPTION" IS OFTEN
DEFINED AS "MORAL PERVERSION."

1168
01:01:11,667 --> 01:01:15,200
IF A COMPANY DUMPS TOXIC WASTE
INTO THE OCEAN TO SAVE MONEY,

1169
01:01:15,233 --> 01:01:19,500
MOST PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THIS
AS CORRUPT BEHAVIOR.

1170
01:01:19,533 --> 01:01:21,033
ON A MORE SUBTLE LEVEL,

1171
01:01:21,067 --> 01:01:23,567
WHEN WALMART
MOVES INTO A SMALL TOWN

1172
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,933
AND FORCES SMALL BUSINESSES
TO SHUT DOWN,

1173
01:01:25,967 --> 01:01:30,033
FOR THEY ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE,
A GRAY AREA EMERGES.

1174
01:01:30,067 --> 01:01:32,433
FOR WHAT EXACTLY
IS WALMART DOING WRONG?

1175
01:01:32,467 --> 01:01:33,767
WHY SHOULD THEY CARE

1176
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,067
ABOUT MOM-AND-POP ORGANIZATIONS
THEY DESTROY?

1177
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:41,233
YET EVEN MORE SUBTLY, WHEN A
PERSON GETS FIRED FROM THEIR JOB

1178
01:01:41,267 --> 01:01:42,533
BECAUSE A NEW MACHINE

1179
01:01:42,567 --> 01:01:45,867
HAS BEEN CREATED WHICH CAN DO
THE WORK FOR LESS MONEY,

1180
01:01:45,900 --> 01:01:49,467
PEOPLE TEND TO JUST ACCEPT THAT
AS THE WAY IT IS,

1181
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:54,733
NOT SEEING THE INHERENT CORRUPT
INHUMANITY OF SUCH AN ACTION.

1182
01:01:54,767 --> 01:01:58,767
BECAUSE THE FACT IS, WHETHER
IT IS DUMPING TOXIC WASTE,

1183
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,967
HAVING A MONOPOLY ENTERPRISE,

1184
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,900
OR DOWNSIZING THE WORKFORCE,

1185
01:02:02,933 --> 01:02:06,200
THE MOTIVE IS THE SAME --
PROFIT.

1186
01:02:06,233 --> 01:02:07,967
THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT DEGREES

1187
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,633
OF THE SAME
SELF-PRESERVING MECHANISM

1188
01:02:10,667 --> 01:02:13,300
WHICH ALWAYS PUTS
THE WELL-BEING OF PEOPLE

1189
01:02:13,333 --> 01:02:16,100
SECOND TO MONETARY GAIN.

1190
01:02:16,133 --> 01:02:21,567
THEREFORE, CORRUPTION IS NOT
SOME BY-PRODUCT OF MONETARY-ISM.

1191
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,367
IT IS THE VERY FOUNDATION.

1192
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:25,600
AND WHILE MOST PEOPLE

1193
01:02:25,633 --> 01:02:28,500
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TENDENCY
ON ONE LEVEL OR ANOTHER,

1194
01:02:28,533 --> 01:02:32,467
THE MAJORITY REMAINS NAIVE
AS TO THE BROAD RAMIFICATIONS

1195
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:34,967
OF HAVING
SUCH A SELFISH MECHANISM

1196
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,233
AS THE GUIDING MENTALITY
IN SOCIETY.

1197
01:02:38,267 --> 01:02:41,033
-INTERNAL DOCUMENTS
SHOW THAT AFTER THIS COMPANY

1198
01:02:41,067 --> 01:02:44,367
POSITIVELY, ABSOLUTELY KNEW
THAT THEY HAD A MEDICATION

1199
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,467
THAT WAS INFECTED
WITH THE AIDS VIRUS,

1200
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:48,700
THEY TOOK THE PRODUCT
OFF THE MARKET IN THE U.S.,

1201
01:02:48,733 --> 01:02:49,800
AND THEN THEY DUMPED IT

1202
01:02:49,833 --> 01:02:51,900
IN FRANCE, EUROPE, ASIA,
AND LATIN AMERICA.

1203
01:02:51,933 --> 01:02:54,300
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

1204
01:02:54,333 --> 01:02:56,467
THE FDA ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.

1205
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:57,633
AND NOW THE GOVERNMENT

1206
01:02:57,667 --> 01:02:59,633
IS COMPLETELY LOOKING
THE OTHER WAY.

1207
01:02:59,667 --> 01:03:02,367
THOUSANDS
OF INNOCENT HEMOPHILIACS

1208
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,533
HAVE DIED FROM THE AIDS VIRUS.

1209
01:03:04,567 --> 01:03:07,433
THIS COMPANY KNEW ABSOLUTELY
THAT IT WAS INFECTED WITH AIDS.

1210
01:03:07,467 --> 01:03:08,833
THEY DUMPED IT

1211
01:03:08,867 --> 01:03:12,567
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TURN
THIS DISASTER INTO A PROFIT.

1212
01:03:14,567 --> 01:03:18,733
-SO, YOU SEE,
YOU HAVE BUILT-IN CORRUPTION.

1213
01:03:18,767 --> 01:03:21,133
WE'RE ALL CHISELING OFF
EACH OTHER,

1214
01:03:21,167 --> 01:03:24,500
AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT DECENCY
IN THAT SORT OF THING.

1215
01:03:27,933 --> 01:03:31,567
AND FEELING THAT,
THEY DON'T KNOW WHO TO ELECT.

1216
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,800
THEY THINK
IN TERMS OF A DEMOCRACY,

1217
01:03:33,833 --> 01:03:38,567
WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE
IN A MONETARY-BASED ECONOMY.

1218
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,133
IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY
TO ADVERTISE YOUR POSITION --

1219
01:03:42,167 --> 01:03:44,600
THE POSITION
YOU DESIRE IN GOVERNMENT --

1220
01:03:44,633 --> 01:03:46,300
THAT ISN'T A DEMOCRACY.

1221
01:03:46,333 --> 01:03:51,067
IT SERVES THOSE IN POSITIONS
OF DIFFERENTIAL ADVANTAGE.

1222
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:54,733
SO IT'S ALWAYS A DICTATORSHIP
OF THE ELITISTS,

1223
01:03:54,767 --> 01:03:56,433
THE FINANCIALLY WEALTHY.

1224
01:04:03,867 --> 01:04:06,367
-IT IS
AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION

1225
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,400
TO NOTE HOW SEEMINGLY UNKNOWN
PERSONALITIES

1226
01:04:09,433 --> 01:04:12,367
MAGICALLY APPEAR ON THE SCENE
AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

1227
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,667
THEN, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

1228
01:04:14,700 --> 01:04:17,467
SOMEHOW YOU'RE LEFT TO CHOOSE
FROM A SMALL GROUP

1229
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,567
OF EXTREMELY WEALTHY PEOPLE

1230
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,467
WHO SUSPICIOUSLY HAVE
THE SAME BROAD SOCIAL VIEW.

1231
01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:26,367
OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A JOKE.

1232
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,200
THE PEOPLE PLACED ON THE BALLOT
ARE DONE SO

1233
01:04:28,233 --> 01:04:31,767
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN
PREDECIDED TO BE ACCEPTABLE

1234
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,567
BY THE ESTABLISHED
FINANCIAL POWERS

1235
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,900
WHO ACTUALLY RUN THE SHOW.

1236
01:04:36,933 --> 01:04:40,200
YET MANY WHO UNDERSTAND
THIS ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY

1237
01:04:40,233 --> 01:04:43,033
OFTEN THINK,
"IF ONLY WE COULD JUST GET

1238
01:04:43,067 --> 01:04:46,333
"OUR HONEST, ETHICAL
POLITICIANS IN POWER,

1239
01:04:46,367 --> 01:04:48,567
THEN WE WOULD BE OKAY."

1240
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,400
WELL, WHILE THIS IDEA,
OF COURSE,

1241
01:04:50,433 --> 01:04:54,633
SEEMS REASONABLE IN OUR
ESTABLISHED ORIENTED WORLD VIEW,

1242
01:04:54,667 --> 01:04:58,867
IT IS, UNFORTUNATELY,
ANOTHER FALLACY,

1243
01:04:58,900 --> 01:05:02,667
FOR WHEN IT REALLY COMES DOWN
TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY IMPORTANT,

1244
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:07,200
THE INSTITUTION OF POLITICS AND,
THUS, POLITICIANS THEMSELVES,

1245
01:05:07,233 --> 01:05:10,100
HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO TRUE RELEVANCE

1246
01:05:10,133 --> 01:05:14,500
AS TO WHAT MAKES OUR WORLD
AND SOCIETY FUNCTION.

1247
01:05:14,533 --> 01:05:17,867
-IT'S NOT POLITICIANS
THAT CAN SOLVE PROBLEMS.

1248
01:05:17,900 --> 01:05:20,733
THEY HAVE
NO TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES.

1249
01:05:20,767 --> 01:05:22,700
THEY DON'T KNOW
HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

1250
01:05:22,733 --> 01:05:25,000
EVEN IF THE WERE SINCERE,

1251
01:05:25,033 --> 01:05:26,967
THEY DON'T KNOW
HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

1252
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,700
IT'S THE TECHNICIANS

1253
01:05:28,733 --> 01:05:31,867
THAT PRODUCE
THE DESALINIZATION PLANTS.

1254
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:34,567
IT'S THE TECHNICIANS
THAT GIVE YOU ELECTRICITY,

1255
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,133
THAT GIVE YOU MOTOR VEHICLES,

1256
01:05:36,167 --> 01:05:39,033
THAT HEAT YOUR HOUSE
AND COOL IT IN THE SUMMERTIME.

1257
01:05:39,067 --> 01:05:43,300
IT'S TECHNOLOGY THAT SOLVES
PROBLEMS, NOT POLITICS.

1258
01:05:43,333 --> 01:05:45,500
POLITICS CANNOT SOLVE PROBLEMS

1259
01:05:45,533 --> 01:05:47,833
'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT TRAINED
TO DO SO.

1260
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,867
-VERY FEW PEOPLE TODAY
STOP AND CONSIDER WHAT IT IS

1261
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:55,700
THAT ACTUALLY IMPROVES
THEIR LIVES.

1262
01:05:55,733 --> 01:05:57,033
IS IT MONEY?

1263
01:05:57,067 --> 01:05:58,367
OBVIOUSLY NOT.

1264
01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:59,733
ONE CANNOT EAT MONEY

1265
01:05:59,767 --> 01:06:03,167
OR STUFF MONEY INTO THEIR CAR
TO GET IT TO RUN.

1266
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:04,933
IS IT POLITICS?

1267
01:06:04,967 --> 01:06:06,533
ALL POLITICIANS CAN DO

1268
01:06:06,567 --> 01:06:11,233
IS CREATE LAWS, ESTABLISH
BUDGETS, AND DECLARE WAR.

1269
01:06:11,267 --> 01:06:13,533
IS IT RELIGION?
OF COURSE NOT.

1270
01:06:13,567 --> 01:06:17,500
RELIGION CREATES NOTHING EXCEPT
INTANGIBLE EMOTIONAL SOLACE

1271
01:06:17,533 --> 01:06:19,600
FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE IT.

1272
01:06:19,633 --> 01:06:23,433
THE TRUE GIFT
THAT WE AS HUMAN BEINGS HAVE

1273
01:06:23,467 --> 01:06:25,367
WHICH HAS BEEN
SOLELY RESPONSIBLE

1274
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:31,200
FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS IMPROVED
OUR LIVES IS TECHNOLOGY.

1275
01:06:31,233 --> 01:06:33,067
WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?

1276
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:35,533
TECHNOLOGY IS A PENCIL
WHICH ALLOWS ONE

1277
01:06:35,567 --> 01:06:39,100
TO SOLIDIFY IDEAS ON PAPER
FOR COMMUNICATION.

1278
01:06:39,133 --> 01:06:40,767
TECHNOLOGY IS AN AUTOMOBILE

1279
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,567
WHICH ALLOWS ONE TO TRAVEL
FASTER THAN FEET WOULD ALLOW.

1280
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:48,300
TECHNOLOGY IS A PAIR OF
EYEGLASSES WHICH ENABLES SIGHT

1281
01:06:48,333 --> 01:06:50,767
FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT.

1282
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,800
APPLIED TECHNOLOGY ITSELF

1283
01:06:52,833 --> 01:06:56,200
IS MERELY AN EXTENSION
OF HUMAN ATTRIBUTES

1284
01:06:56,233 --> 01:06:58,033
WHICH REDUCES HUMAN EFFORT,

1285
01:06:58,067 --> 01:07:01,367
FREEING HUMANS FROM
A PARTICULAR CHORE OR PROBLEM.

1286
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,367
IMAGINE WHAT YOUR LIFE WOULD BE
LIKE TODAY WITHOUT A TELEPHONE

1287
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:09,300
OR AN OVEN
OR A COMPUTER OR AN AIRPLANE.

1288
01:07:09,333 --> 01:07:12,133
EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOME
WHICH YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED,

1289
01:07:12,167 --> 01:07:15,733
FROM A DOORBELL
TO A TABLE TO A DISHWASHER,

1290
01:07:15,767 --> 01:07:20,700
IS TECHNOLOGY GENERATED FROM THE
CREATIVE SCIENTIFIC INGENUITY

1291
01:07:20,733 --> 01:07:22,667
OF HUMAN TECHNICIANS...

1292
01:07:22,700 --> 01:07:26,567
NOT MONEY, POLITICS,
OR RELIGION.

1293
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,633
THESE ARE FALSE INSTITUTIONS.

1294
01:07:29,667 --> 01:07:33,433
-AND WRITING YOUR CONGRESSMAN
IS FANTASTIC.

1295
01:07:33,467 --> 01:07:35,067
THEY TELL YOU
TO WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN

1296
01:07:35,100 --> 01:07:36,600
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE.

1297
01:07:36,633 --> 01:07:40,433
THE MEN IN WASHINGTON SHOULD BE
AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY,

1298
01:07:40,467 --> 01:07:44,167
THE FOREFRONT OF HUMAN STUDY,
THE FOREFRONT OF CRIME --

1299
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,233
ALL THE FACTORS
THAT SHAPE HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

1300
01:07:47,267 --> 01:07:49,133
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE
YOUR CONGRESSMAN.

1301
01:07:49,167 --> 01:07:50,433
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THEY

1302
01:07:50,467 --> 01:07:53,633
THAT ARE APPOINTED
TO DO THAT JOB?

1303
01:07:53,667 --> 01:07:56,767
THE FUTURE
WILL HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY.

1304
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,533
AND THE QUESTION
THAT'S RAISED BY POLITICIANS IS,

1305
01:08:00,567 --> 01:08:02,800
"HOW MUCH
WILL THE PROJECT COST?"

1306
01:08:02,833 --> 01:08:05,733
THE QUESTION IS NOT,
"HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?"

1307
01:08:05,767 --> 01:08:08,300
"DO WE HAVE THE RESOURCES?"

1308
01:08:08,333 --> 01:08:12,367
AND WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TODAY
TO HOUSE EVERYONE,

1309
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,967
BUILD HOSPITALS
ALL OVER THE WORLD,

1310
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,167
BUILD SCHOOLS
ALL OVER THE WORLD,

1311
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,400
THE FINEST EQUIPMENT IN LABS

1312
01:08:19,433 --> 01:08:22,233
FOR TEACHING
AND DOING MEDICAL RESEARCH.

1313
01:08:22,267 --> 01:08:27,200
SO, YOU SEE, WE HAVE ALL THAT,
BUT WE'RE IN A MONETARY SYSTEM.

1314
01:08:27,233 --> 01:08:30,167
AND IN A MONETARY SYSTEM,
THERE'S PROFIT.

1315
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,800
-AND WHAT IS
THE FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM

1316
01:08:33,833 --> 01:08:37,267
THAT DRIVES THE PROFIT SYSTEM,
BESIDES SELF-INTEREST?

1317
01:08:37,300 --> 01:08:38,600
WHAT IS IT EXACTLY

1318
01:08:38,633 --> 01:08:41,900
THAT MAINTAINS THAT
COMPETITIVE EDGE AT ITS CORE?

1319
01:08:41,933 --> 01:08:44,833
IS IT HIGH EFFICIENCY
AND SUSTAINABILITY?

1320
01:08:44,867 --> 01:08:48,467
NO.
THAT ISN'T PART OF THEIR DESIGN.

1321
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:50,733
NOTHING PRODUCED
IN OUR PROFIT-BASED SOCIETY

1322
01:08:50,767 --> 01:08:53,300
IS EVEN REMOTELY SUSTAINABLE
OR EFFICIENT.

1323
01:08:53,333 --> 01:08:54,633
IF IT WAS, THERE WOULDN'T BE

1324
01:08:54,667 --> 01:08:57,233
A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR-A-YEAR
SERVICE INDUSTRY

1325
01:08:57,267 --> 01:08:58,567
FOR AUTOMOBILES.

1326
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,300
NOR WOULD THE AVERAGE LIFE-SPAN
FOR MOST ELECTRONICS

1327
01:09:01,333 --> 01:09:05,000
BE LESS THAN THREE MONTHS
BEFORE THEY'RE OBSOLETE.

1328
01:09:05,033 --> 01:09:07,200
IS IT ABUNDANCE?

1329
01:09:07,233 --> 01:09:08,700
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

1330
01:09:08,733 --> 01:09:11,833
ABUNDANCE, AS BASED ON THE LAWS
OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND,

1331
01:09:11,867 --> 01:09:13,533
IS ACTUALLY A NEGATIVE THING.

1332
01:09:13,567 --> 01:09:15,100
IF A DIAMOND COMPANY

1333
01:09:15,133 --> 01:09:18,800
FINDS 10 TIMES THE USUAL AMOUNT
OF DIAMONDS DURING THEIR MINING,

1334
01:09:18,833 --> 01:09:21,467
IT MEANS THE SUPPLY
OF DIAMONDS HAS INCREASED,

1335
01:09:21,500 --> 01:09:25,500
WHICH MEANS THE COST AND PROFIT
PER DIAMOND DROPS.

1336
01:09:25,533 --> 01:09:29,400
THE FACT IS, EFFICIENCY,
SUSTAINABILITY, AND ABUNDANCE

1337
01:09:29,433 --> 01:09:31,600
ARE ENEMIES OF PROFIT.

1338
01:09:31,633 --> 01:09:33,267
TO PUT IT INTO A WORD,

1339
01:09:33,300 --> 01:09:38,033
IT IS THE MECHANISM OF SCARCITY
THAT INCREASES PROFITS.

1340
01:09:40,833 --> 01:09:42,467
-WHAT IS SCARCITY?

1341
01:09:42,500 --> 01:09:44,900
BASED ON KEEPING PRODUCTS
VALUABLE.

1342
01:09:44,933 --> 01:09:48,800
SLOWING UP PRODUCTION ON OIL
RAISES THE PRICE.

1343
01:09:48,833 --> 01:09:52,400
MAINTAINING SCARCITY OF DIAMONDS
KEEPS THE PRICE HIGH.

1344
01:09:52,433 --> 01:09:55,867
THEY BURN DIAMONDS
AT THE KIMBERLEY DIAMOND MINES.

1345
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:57,100
THEY'RE MADE OF CARBON.

1346
01:09:57,133 --> 01:09:58,867
THAT KEEPS THE PRICE UP.

1347
01:09:58,900 --> 01:10:01,567
-SO, THEN,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR SOCIETY

1348
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,767
WHEN SCARCITY,

1349
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,167
EITHER PRODUCED NATURALLY
OR THROUGH MANIPULATION,

1350
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,467
IS A BENEFICIAL CONDITION
FOR INDUSTRY?

1351
01:10:10,500 --> 01:10:13,600
IT MEANS THAT SUSTAINABILITY
AND ABUNDANCE

1352
01:10:13,633 --> 01:10:17,300
WILL NEVER, EVER OCCUR
IN A PROFIT SYSTEM,

1353
01:10:17,333 --> 01:10:21,600
FOR IT SIMPLY GOES AGAINST THE
VERY NATURE OF THE STRUCTURE.

1354
01:10:21,633 --> 01:10:23,633
THEREFORE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE

1355
01:10:23,667 --> 01:10:27,367
TO HAVE A WORLD
WITHOUT WAR OR POVERTY.

1356
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,700
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUALLY
ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY

1357
01:10:31,733 --> 01:10:34,167
TO ITS MOST EFFICIENT
AND PRODUCTIVE STATES.

1358
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,400
AND MOST DRAMATICALLY,

1359
01:10:36,433 --> 01:10:39,833
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO EXPECT HUMAN BEINGS

1360
01:10:39,867 --> 01:10:45,033
TO BEHAVE
IN TRULY ETHICAL OR DECENT WAYS.

1361
01:10:50,233 --> 01:10:53,000
-PEOPLE USE THE WORD "INSTINCT"

1362
01:10:53,033 --> 01:10:56,567
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ACCOUNT
FOR THE BEHAVIOR.

1363
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,133
THEY SIT BACK, AND THEY EVALUATE

1364
01:10:59,167 --> 01:11:02,600
WITH THEIR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE,
YOU KNOW,

1365
01:11:02,633 --> 01:11:06,567
AND THEY SAY THINGS LIKE,
"HUMANS ARE BUILT A CERTAIN WAY.

1366
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,267
GREED IS A NATURAL THING,"

1367
01:11:08,300 --> 01:11:10,533
AS THOUGH THEY'VE WORKED
FOR YEARS ON IT.

1368
01:11:10,567 --> 01:11:14,200
AND IT'S NO MORE NATURAL
THAN WEARING CLOTHING.

1369
01:11:14,233 --> 01:11:15,400
-WHAT WE WANT TO DO

1370
01:11:15,433 --> 01:11:19,433
IS TO ELIMINATE
THE CAUSES OF THE PROBLEMS,

1371
01:11:19,467 --> 01:11:21,633
ELIMINATE THE PROCESSES

1372
01:11:21,667 --> 01:11:26,200
THAT PRODUCE GREED
AND BIGOTRY AND PREJUDICE

1373
01:11:26,233 --> 01:11:30,433
AND PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF ONE ANOTHER AND ELITISM,

1374
01:11:30,467 --> 01:11:35,600
ELIMINATING THE NEED
FOR PRISONS AND WELFARE.

1375
01:11:35,633 --> 01:11:37,200
WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD
THESE PROBLEMS

1376
01:11:37,233 --> 01:11:39,700
'CAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED
WITHIN SCARCITY

1377
01:11:39,733 --> 01:11:45,167
AND BARTER AND MONETARY SYSTEMS
THAT PRODUCE SCARCITY.

1378
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,667
-IF YOU ERADICATE THE CONDITIONS

1379
01:11:47,700 --> 01:11:52,000
THAT GENERATE WHAT YOU CALL
SOCIALLY OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR,

1380
01:11:52,033 --> 01:11:53,567
IT DOES NOT EXIST.

1381
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,133
A GUY SAYS,
"WELL, ISN'T THAT INBORN?"

1382
01:11:56,167 --> 01:11:57,500
NO, IT'S NOT.

1383
01:11:57,533 --> 01:11:59,367
-THERE IS NO HUMAN NATURE.

1384
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:00,833
THERE'S HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

1385
01:12:00,867 --> 01:12:03,633
AND THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED
THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

1386
01:12:03,667 --> 01:12:09,067
YOU'RE NOT BORN WITH BIGOTRY AND
GREED AND CORRUPTION AND HATRED.

1387
01:12:09,100 --> 01:12:11,833
YOU PICK THAT UP
WITHIN A SOCIETY.

1388
01:12:11,867 --> 01:12:15,467
-WAR, POVERTY, CORRUPTION,

1389
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:17,733
HUNGER, MISERY, HUMAN SUFFERING

1390
01:12:17,767 --> 01:12:20,333
WILL NOT CHANGE
IN A MONETARY SYSTEM.

1391
01:12:20,367 --> 01:12:23,967
THAT IS, THERE WILL BE
VERY LITTLE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

1392
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,867
IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE REDESIGN
OF OUR CULTURE, OUR VALUES.

1393
01:12:28,900 --> 01:12:32,567
AND IT HAS TO BE RELATED TO THE
CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE EARTH,

1394
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,700
NOT SOME HUMAN OPINION

1395
01:12:34,733 --> 01:12:39,333
OR SOME POLITICIAN'S NOTIONS
OF THE WAY THE WORLD OUGHT TO BE

1396
01:12:39,367 --> 01:12:45,033
OR SOME RELIGIOUS NOTIONS
OF THE CONDUCT OF HUMAN AFFAIRS.

1397
01:12:45,067 --> 01:12:47,633
AND THAT'S WHAT
THE VENUS PROJECT IS ABOUT.

1398
01:12:49,567 --> 01:12:52,767
THE SOCIETY
THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT

1399
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:58,133
IS A SOCIETY THAT IS FREE
OF ALL THE OLD SUPERSTITIONS,

1400
01:12:58,167 --> 01:13:03,133
INCARCERATION, PRISONS,
POLICE, CRUELTY, AND LAW.

1401
01:13:03,167 --> 01:13:05,000
ALL LAWS WILL DISAPPEAR.

1402
01:13:05,033 --> 01:13:07,300
AND THE PROFESSIONS
WILL DISAPPEAR

1403
01:13:07,333 --> 01:13:08,967
THAT ARE NO LONGER VALID,

1404
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,733
SUCH AS STOCKBROKERS,
BANKERS, ADVERTISING --

1405
01:13:12,767 --> 01:13:17,667
GONE FOREVER
BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER RELEVANT.

1406
01:13:19,833 --> 01:13:21,433
-WHEN WE UNDERSTAND

1407
01:13:21,467 --> 01:13:24,833
THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGY
DEVISED BY HUMAN INGENUITY,

1408
01:13:24,867 --> 01:13:28,000
WHICH FREES HUMANITY AND
INCREASES OUR QUALITY OF LIFE,

1409
01:13:28,033 --> 01:13:31,867
WE THEN REALIZE THAT THE MOST
IMPORTANT FOCUS WE CAN HAVE

1410
01:13:31,900 --> 01:13:36,200
IS ON THE INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT
OF THE EARTH'S RESOURCES,

1411
01:13:36,233 --> 01:13:39,433
FOR IT IS FROM THESE NATURAL
RESOURCES WE GAIN THE MATERIALS

1412
01:13:39,467 --> 01:13:42,400
TO CONTINUE
OUR PATH OF PROSPERITY.

1413
01:13:42,433 --> 01:13:46,433
UNDERSTANDING THIS, WE THEN SEE
THAT MONEY FUNDAMENTALLY EXISTS

1414
01:13:46,467 --> 01:13:49,000
AS A BARRIER TO THESE RESOURCES,

1415
01:13:49,033 --> 01:13:52,333
FOR VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING
HAS A FINANCIAL COST.

1416
01:13:52,367 --> 01:13:55,467
AND WHY DO WE NEED MONEY
TO OBTAIN THESE RESOURCES?

1417
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:58,500
BECAUSE OF REAL
OR ASSUMED SCARCITY.

1418
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,233
WE DON'T USUALLY PAY
FOR AIR AND TAP WATER

1419
01:14:03,267 --> 01:14:05,267
BECAUSE IT IS
IN SUCH HIGH ABUNDANCE,

1420
01:14:05,300 --> 01:14:07,933
SELLING IT WOULD BE POINTLESS.

1421
01:14:07,967 --> 01:14:10,233
SO, THEN, LOGICALLY SPEAKING,

1422
01:14:10,267 --> 01:14:12,067
IF RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGIES

1423
01:14:12,100 --> 01:14:15,000
APPLICABLE TO CREATING
EVERYTHING IN OUR SOCIETIES,

1424
01:14:15,033 --> 01:14:17,833
SUCH AS HOUSES, CITIES,
AND TRANSPORTATION,

1425
01:14:17,867 --> 01:14:20,067
WERE IN HIGH ENOUGH ABUNDANCE,

1426
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:23,600
THERE WOULD BE NO REASON
TO SELL ANYTHING.

1427
01:14:23,633 --> 01:14:26,433
LIKEWISE,
IF AUTOMATION AND MACHINERY

1428
01:14:26,467 --> 01:14:28,433
WERE SO TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED

1429
01:14:28,467 --> 01:14:30,833
AS TO RELIEVE
HUMAN BEINGS OF LABOR,

1430
01:14:30,867 --> 01:14:33,467
THERE WOULD BE NO REASON
TO HAVE A JOB.

1431
01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:35,933
AND WITH THESE SOCIAL ASPECTS
TAKEN CARE OF,

1432
01:14:35,967 --> 01:14:39,733
THERE WOULD BE NO REASON
TO HAVE MONEY AT ALL.

1433
01:14:39,767 --> 01:14:42,600
SO THE ULTIMATE QUESTION
REMAINS --

1434
01:14:42,633 --> 01:14:44,100
DO WE ON EARTH

1435
01:14:44,133 --> 01:14:47,300
HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES
AND TECHNOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING

1436
01:14:47,333 --> 01:14:50,200
TO CREATE A SOCIETY
OF SUCH ABUNDANCE

1437
01:14:50,233 --> 01:14:51,567
THAT EVERYTHING WE HAVE NOW

1438
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,767
COULD BE AVAILABLE
WITHOUT A PRICE TAG

1439
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,833
AND WITHOUT THE NEED FOR
SUBMISSION THROUGH EMPLOYMENT?

1440
01:14:57,867 --> 01:15:00,567
YES. WE DO.

1441
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,167
WE HAVE THE RESOURCES
AND TECHNOLOGY

1442
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,267
TO ENABLE THIS AT A MINIMUM,

1443
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:09,067
ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO RAISE
THE STANDARD OF LIVING SO HIGH

1444
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:10,400
THAT PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE

1445
01:15:10,433 --> 01:15:12,867
WILL LOOK BACK
AT OUR CIVILIZATION NOW

1446
01:15:12,900 --> 01:15:18,667
AND GAWK AT HOW PRIMITIVE
AND IMMATURE OUR SOCIETY WAS.

1447
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:23,000
-WHAT THE VENUS PROJECT PROPOSES
IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM

1448
01:15:23,033 --> 01:15:26,533
THAT'S UPDATED
TO PRESENT-DAY KNOWLEDGE.

1449
01:15:26,567 --> 01:15:29,300
-WE'VE NEVER GIVEN SCIENTISTS
THE PROBLEM OF,

1450
01:15:29,333 --> 01:15:30,800
"HOW DO YOU DESIGN A SOCIETY

1451
01:15:30,833 --> 01:15:33,867
"WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE
BORING AND MONOTONOUS JOBS,

1452
01:15:33,900 --> 01:15:38,267
"THAT WOULD ELIMINATE
ACCIDENTS IN TRANSPORTATION,

1453
01:15:38,300 --> 01:15:41,467
"THAT WOULD ENABLE PEOPLE TO
HAVE A HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING,

1454
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:44,600
"THAT WOULD ELIMINATE POISONS
IN OUR FOOD,

1455
01:15:44,633 --> 01:15:46,967
"THAT WOULD GIVE US
OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY

1456
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,600
THAT ARE CLEAN AND EFFICIENT?"

1457
01:15:48,633 --> 01:15:50,233
WE CAN DO THAT OUT THERE.

1458
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,033
THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE

1459
01:15:57,067 --> 01:16:00,567
BETWEEN A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY
AND A MONETARY SYSTEM

1460
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,467
IS THAT A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY

1461
01:16:02,500 --> 01:16:05,533
IS REALLY CONCERNED WITH PEOPLE
AND THEIR WELL-BEING,

1462
01:16:05,567 --> 01:16:08,633
WHERE A MONETARY SYSTEM
HAS BECOME SO DISTORTED

1463
01:16:08,667 --> 01:16:12,233
THAT THE CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE
ARE REALLY SECONDARY,

1464
01:16:12,267 --> 01:16:13,467
IF THEY'RE THERE AT ALL.

1465
01:16:13,500 --> 01:16:15,233
THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE TURNED OUT

1466
01:16:15,267 --> 01:16:17,967
ARE FOR HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU CAN GET.

1467
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,100
IF THERE IS A PROBLEM IN SOCIETY

1468
01:16:20,133 --> 01:16:23,100
AND YOU CAN'T EARN MONEY
FROM SOLVING THAT PROBLEM,

1469
01:16:23,133 --> 01:16:24,800
THEN IT WON'T BE DONE.

1470
01:16:24,833 --> 01:16:26,167
THE RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY

1471
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,000
IS REALLY NOT CLOSE
TO ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN TRIED.

1472
01:16:29,033 --> 01:16:32,200
AND WITH ALL OUR TECHNOLOGY
TODAY, WE CAN CREATE ABUNDANCE.

1473
01:16:32,233 --> 01:16:35,100
IT COULD BE USED
TO IMPROVE EVERYONE'S LIFESTYLE.

1474
01:16:35,133 --> 01:16:36,600
ABUNDANCE ALL OVER THE WORLD

1475
01:16:36,633 --> 01:16:40,567
IF WE USE OUR TECHNOLOGY WISELY
AND MAINTAIN THE ENVIRONMENT.

1476
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:44,633
-IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT SYSTEM,
AND IT'S VERY HARD TO TALK ABOUT

1477
01:16:44,667 --> 01:16:47,833
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
IS NOT THAT WELL ENOUGH INFORMED

1478
01:16:47,867 --> 01:16:50,400
AS TO THE STATE OF TECHNOLOGY.

1479
01:16:55,167 --> 01:16:59,300
AT PRESENT, WE DON'T HAVE
TO BURN FOSSIL FUELS.

1480
01:16:59,333 --> 01:17:00,933
WE DON'T HAVE TO USE ANYTHING

1481
01:17:00,967 --> 01:17:03,433
THAT WOULD CONTAMINATE
THE ENVIRONMENT.

1482
01:17:03,467 --> 01:17:06,767
THERE ARE MANY SOURCES
OF ENERGY AVAILABLE.

1483
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,833
-ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
PUSHED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT,

1484
01:17:10,867 --> 01:17:13,967
SUCH AS HYDROGEN, BIOMASS,
AND EVEN NUCLEAR,

1485
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,300
ARE HIGHLY INSUFFICIENT,
DANGEROUS,

1486
01:17:16,333 --> 01:17:19,100
AND EXIST ONLY TO PERPETUATE
THE PROFIT STRUCTURE

1487
01:17:19,133 --> 01:17:21,233
THAT INDUSTRY HAS CREATED.

1488
01:17:21,267 --> 01:17:23,267
WHEN WE LOOK
BEYOND THE PROPAGANDA

1489
01:17:23,300 --> 01:17:26,900
AND SELF-SERVING SOLUTIONS PUT
FORTH BY THE ENERGY COMPANIES,

1490
01:17:26,933 --> 01:17:29,267
WE FIND
A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS STREAM

1491
01:17:29,300 --> 01:17:31,900
OF CLEAN, ABUNDANT,
AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

1492
01:17:31,933 --> 01:17:33,667
FOR GENERATING POWER.

1493
01:17:33,700 --> 01:17:37,000
SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY
ARE WELL-KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC,

1494
01:17:37,033 --> 01:17:40,733
BUT THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF THESE
MEDIUMS REMAINS UNEXPRESSED.

1495
01:17:40,767 --> 01:17:44,667
SOLAR ENERGY DERIVED
FROM THE SUN HAS SUCH ABUNDANCE

1496
01:17:44,700 --> 01:17:47,200
THAT ONE HOUR OF LIGHT
AT HIGH NOON

1497
01:17:47,233 --> 01:17:48,767
CONTAINS MORE ENERGY

1498
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,567
THAN WHAT THE ENTIRE WORLD
CONSUMES IN A YEAR.

1499
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,500
IF WE COULD CAPTURE 1/100
OF A PERCENT OF THIS ENERGY,

1500
01:17:55,533 --> 01:17:59,833
THE WORLD WOULD NEVER HAVE TO
USE OIL, GAS, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

1501
01:17:59,867 --> 01:18:02,100
THE QUESTION, THEN,
IS NOT AVAILABILITY,

1502
01:18:02,133 --> 01:18:04,567
BUT THE TECHNOLOGY
TO HARNESS IT.

1503
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,800
AND THERE ARE
MANY ADVANCED MEDIUMS TODAY

1504
01:18:06,833 --> 01:18:10,467
WHICH COULD ACCOMPLISH JUST
THAT, IF THEY WERE NOT HINDERED

1505
01:18:10,500 --> 01:18:12,967
BY THE NEED TO COMPETE
FOR MARKET SHARE

1506
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,767
WITH THE ESTABLISHED
ENERGY POWER STRUCTURES.

1507
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,633
THEN THERE'S WIND ENERGY.

1508
01:18:18,667 --> 01:18:21,200
WIND ENERGY HAS LONG BEEN
DENOUNCED AS WEAK,

1509
01:18:21,233 --> 01:18:24,700
AND DUE TO BEING
LOCATION-DRIVEN, IMPRACTICAL.

1510
01:18:24,733 --> 01:18:26,533
THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

1511
01:18:26,567 --> 01:18:29,967
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
ADMITTED IN 2007

1512
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,933
THAT IF WIND WAS FULLY HARVESTED

1513
01:18:31,967 --> 01:18:34,900
IN JUST THREE
OF AMERICA'S 50 STATES,

1514
01:18:34,933 --> 01:18:38,200
IT COULD POWER
THE ENTIRE NATION.

1515
01:18:38,233 --> 01:18:41,033
AND THEN THERE ARE
THE RATHER UNKNOWN MEDIUMS

1516
01:18:41,067 --> 01:18:43,533
OF TIDAL AND WAVE POWER.

1517
01:18:43,567 --> 01:18:46,833
TIDAL POWER IS DERIVED
FROM TIDAL SHIFTS IN THE OCEAN.

1518
01:18:46,867 --> 01:18:49,167
INSTALLING TURBINES
WHICH CAPTURE THIS MOVEMENT

1519
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,867
GENERATES ENERGY.

1520
01:18:50,900 --> 01:18:52,167
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM,

1521
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,800
42 SITES ARE CURRENTLY NOTED
AS AVAILABLE,

1522
01:18:54,833 --> 01:18:58,767
FORECASTING THAT 34%
OF ALL THE U.K.'s ENERGY

1523
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,833
COULD COME
FROM TIDAL POWER ALONE.

1524
01:19:01,867 --> 01:19:04,000
WAVE POWER,

1525
01:19:04,033 --> 01:19:07,167
WHICH EXTRACTS ENERGY FROM THE
SURFACE MOTIONS OF THE OCEAN,

1526
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,633
IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE
A GLOBAL POTENTIAL

1527
01:19:09,667 --> 01:19:13,300
OF UP TO 80,000 TERAWATT HOURS
A YEAR.

1528
01:19:13,333 --> 01:19:17,167
THIS MEANS 50% OF
THE ENTIRE PLANET'S ENERGY USAGE

1529
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,700
COULD BE PRODUCED
FROM THIS MEDIUM ALONE.

1530
01:19:20,733 --> 01:19:22,500
NOW, IT IS IMPORTANT

1531
01:19:22,533 --> 01:19:26,733
TO POINT OUT THAT TIDAL,
WAVE, SOLAR, AND WIND POWER

1532
01:19:26,767 --> 01:19:30,133
REQUIRES VIRTUALLY NO
PRELIMINARY ENERGY TO HARNESS,

1533
01:19:30,167 --> 01:19:35,167
UNLIKE COAL, OIL, GAS, BIOMASS,
HYDROGEN, AND ALL THE OTHERS.

1534
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,000
IN COMBINATION,
THESE FOUR MEDIUMS ALONE,

1535
01:19:38,033 --> 01:19:40,333
IF EFFICIENTLY HARNESSED
THROUGH TECHNOLOGY,

1536
01:19:40,367 --> 01:19:43,700
COULD POWER THE WORLD FOREVER.

1537
01:19:43,733 --> 01:19:45,067
THAT BEING SAID,

1538
01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:48,500
THERE HAPPENS TO BE ANOTHER FORM
OF CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY

1539
01:19:48,533 --> 01:19:52,867
WHICH TRUMPS THEM ALL --
GEOTHERMAL POWER.

1540
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:56,700
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY UTILIZES
WHAT IS CALLED HEAT MINING,

1541
01:19:56,733 --> 01:19:59,033
WHICH, THROUGH A SIMPLE PROCESS
USING WATER,

1542
01:19:59,067 --> 01:20:02,200
IS ABLE TO GENERATE
MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CLEAN ENERGY.

1543
01:20:02,233 --> 01:20:05,933
IN 2006, AN M.I.T. REPORT
ON GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

1544
01:20:05,967 --> 01:20:09,067
FOUND THAT 13,000 ZETTAJOULES
OF POWER

1545
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:11,100
ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
IN THE EARTH

1546
01:20:11,133 --> 01:20:13,700
WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF 2,000 ZETTAJOULES

1547
01:20:13,733 --> 01:20:17,400
BEING EASILY TAPPABLE
WITH IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY.

1548
01:20:17,433 --> 01:20:20,500
THE TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF
ALL THE COUNTRIES ON THE PLANET

1549
01:20:20,533 --> 01:20:23,233
IS ABOUT HALF OF A ZETTAJOULE
A YEAR.

1550
01:20:23,267 --> 01:20:26,533
THIS MEANS ABOUT 4,000 YEARS
OF PLANETARY POWER

1551
01:20:26,567 --> 01:20:29,667
COULD BE HARNESSED
IN THIS MEDIUM ALONE.

1552
01:20:29,700 --> 01:20:32,633
AND WHEN WE UNDERSTAND
THAT THE EARTH'S HEAT GENERATION

1553
01:20:32,667 --> 01:20:34,300
IS CONSTANTLY RENEWED,

1554
01:20:34,333 --> 01:20:39,100
THIS ENERGY IS REALLY LIMITLESS
AND COULD BE USED FOREVER.

1555
01:20:39,133 --> 01:20:41,567
THESE ENERGY SOURCES
ARE ONLY A FEW

1556
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,867
OF THE CLEAN, RENEWABLE MEDIUMS
AVAILABLE.

1557
01:20:43,900 --> 01:20:47,000
AND AS TIME GOES ON,
WE WILL FIND MORE.

1558
01:20:47,033 --> 01:20:50,967
THE GRAND REALIZATION IS THAT
WE HAVE TOTAL ENERGY ABUNDANCE

1559
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,767
WITHOUT THE NEED FOR POLLUTION,
TRADITIONAL CONSERVATION,

1560
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,400
OR, IN FACT, A PRICE TAG.

1561
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,300
AND WHAT ABOUT TRANSPORTATION?

1562
01:21:02,333 --> 01:21:05,233
THE PREVAILING MEANS OF
TRANSPORTATION IN OUR SOCIETIES

1563
01:21:05,267 --> 01:21:07,333
IS BY AUTOMOBILE AND AIRCRAFT,

1564
01:21:07,367 --> 01:21:10,600
BOTH OF WHICH PREDOMINANTLY NEED
FOSSIL FUELS TO RUN.

1565
01:21:10,633 --> 01:21:12,533
IN THE CASE OF THE AUTOMOBILE,

1566
01:21:12,567 --> 01:21:15,600
THE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY
NEEDED TO POWER AN ELECTRIC CAR

1567
01:21:15,633 --> 01:21:17,467
THAT CAN GO
OVER 100 MILES AN HOUR

1568
01:21:17,500 --> 01:21:20,000
FOR OVER 200 MILES ON ONE CHARGE

1569
01:21:20,033 --> 01:21:22,900
EXISTS AND HAS EXISTED
FOR MANY YEARS.

1570
01:21:22,933 --> 01:21:26,267
HOWEVER, DUE TO BATTERY PATENTS
CONTROLLED BY THE OIL INDUSTRY

1571
01:21:26,300 --> 01:21:28,967
WHICH LIMITS THEIR AVAILABILITY
TO MAINTAIN MARKET SHARE,

1572
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,067
COUPLED WITH POLITICAL PRESSURE
FROM THE ENERGY INDUSTRY,

1573
01:21:32,100 --> 01:21:35,033
THE ACCESSIBILITY AND
AFFORDABILITY OF THIS TECHNOLOGY

1574
01:21:35,067 --> 01:21:36,700
IS LIMITED.

1575
01:21:36,733 --> 01:21:38,367
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON

1576
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,733
OTHER THAN PURE, CORRUPT
PROFIT INTEREST

1577
01:21:40,767 --> 01:21:43,000
THAT EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE
IN THE WORLD

1578
01:21:43,033 --> 01:21:45,200
CANNOT BE ELECTRIC
AND UTTERLY CLEAN

1579
01:21:45,233 --> 01:21:48,167
WITH ZERO NEED FOR GASOLINE.

1580
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:49,600
AS FAR AS AIRPLANES,

1581
01:21:49,633 --> 01:21:52,000
IT IS TIME WE REALIZE
THAT THIS MEANS OF TRAVEL

1582
01:21:52,033 --> 01:21:54,900
IS INEFFICIENT,
CUMBERSOME, SLOW,

1583
01:21:54,933 --> 01:21:57,467
AND CAUSES
FAR TOO MUCH POLLUTION.

1584
01:21:57,500 --> 01:21:59,733
THIS IS A MAGLEV TRAIN.

1585
01:21:59,767 --> 01:22:02,533
IT USES MAGNETS FOR PROPULSION.

1586
01:22:02,567 --> 01:22:05,133
IT IS FULLY SUSPENDED
BY A MAGNETIC FIELD

1587
01:22:05,167 --> 01:22:09,333
AND REQUIRES LESS THAN 2% OF THE
ENERGY USED FOR PLANE TRAVEL.

1588
01:22:09,367 --> 01:22:12,500
THE TRAIN HAS NO WHEELS,
SO NOTHING CAN WEAR OUT.

1589
01:22:12,533 --> 01:22:16,533
THE CURRENT MAXIMUM SPEED
OF VERSIONS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY

1590
01:22:16,567 --> 01:22:21,067
AS USED IN JAPAN
IS 361 MILES PER HOUR.

1591
01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:24,967
HOWEVER, THIS VERSION
OF THE TECHNOLOGY IS VERY DATED.

1592
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,533
AN ORGANIZATION CALLED ET3,

1593
01:22:27,567 --> 01:22:29,833
WHICH HAS CONNECTIONS
WITH THE VENUS PROJECT,

1594
01:22:29,867 --> 01:22:32,467
HAS ESTABLISHED
A TUBE-BASED MAGLEV

1595
01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:35,833
THAT CAN TRAVEL
UP TO 4,000 MILES PER HOUR

1596
01:22:35,867 --> 01:22:38,467
IN A MOTIONLESS,
FRICTIONLESS TUBE

1597
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:41,733
WHICH CAN GO OVER LAND
OR UNDERWATER.

1598
01:22:41,767 --> 01:22:43,767
IMAGINE GOING FROM L.A.
TO NEW YORK

1599
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,633
FOR AN EXTENDED LUNCH BREAK

1600
01:22:45,667 --> 01:22:49,867
OR FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.,
TO BEIJING, CHINA, IN TWO HOURS.

1601
01:22:49,900 --> 01:22:51,067
THIS IS THE FUTURE

1602
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:54,167
OF CONTINENTAL
AND INTERCONTINENTAL TRAVEL --

1603
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:58,000
FAST, CLEAN, WITH ONLY
A FRACTION OF THE ENERGY USAGE

1604
01:22:58,033 --> 01:23:00,867
WE USE TODAY FOR THE SAME MEANS.

1605
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:03,800
IN FACT,
BETWEEN MAGLEV TECHNOLOGY,

1606
01:23:03,833 --> 01:23:07,033
ADVANCED BATTERY STORAGE,
AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY,

1607
01:23:07,067 --> 01:23:10,667
THERE WOULD BE NO REASON
TO EVER BURN FOSSIL FUELS AGAIN.

1608
01:23:10,700 --> 01:23:12,533
AND WE CAN DO THIS NOW,

1609
01:23:12,567 --> 01:23:16,633
IF WE WERE NOT HELD BACK BY
THE PARALYZING PROFIT STRUCTURE.

1610
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,833
-NOW, AMERICA
IS INCLINED TOWARDS FASCISM.

1611
01:23:23,867 --> 01:23:28,533
IT HAS A PROPENSITY BY ITS
DOMINANT PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION

1612
01:23:28,567 --> 01:23:31,400
TO UPHOLD
THE FASCIST POINT OF VIEW.

1613
01:23:31,433 --> 01:23:36,067
AMERICAN INDUSTRY IS ESSENTIALLY
A FASCIST INSTITUTION.

1614
01:23:36,100 --> 01:23:37,533
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT,

1615
01:23:37,567 --> 01:23:39,500
THE MINUTE
YOU PUNCH THAT TIME CLOCK,

1616
01:23:39,533 --> 01:23:41,333
YOU WALK INTO A DICTATORSHIP.

1617
01:23:41,367 --> 01:23:46,167
-WE'RE GIVEN NOTIONS ABOUT
THE RESPECTABILITY OF WORK,

1618
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:50,167
AND I REALLY LOOK AT IT
AS BEING PAID SLAVERY.

1619
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:53,233
-WE'RE BROUGHT UP TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU SHALL EARN YOUR LIVING

1620
01:23:53,267 --> 01:23:55,167
BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW.

1621
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,367
THAT HOLDS PEOPLE BACK.

1622
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,800
FREEING PEOPLE FROM DRUDGERY,

1623
01:24:00,833 --> 01:24:03,400
REPETITIVE JOBS
WHICH MAKE THEM IGNORANT,

1624
01:24:03,433 --> 01:24:05,233
YOU ROB THEM.

1625
01:24:05,267 --> 01:24:09,233
IN OUR SOCIETY -- THAT IS,
A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY --

1626
01:24:09,267 --> 01:24:11,633
MACHINES FREE PEOPLE.

1627
01:24:11,667 --> 01:24:14,067
YOU SEE, WE CAN'T IMAGINE THAT

1628
01:24:14,100 --> 01:24:17,133
'CAUSE WE'VE NEVER KNOWN
THAT KIND OF WORLD.

1629
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:22,767
-IF WE LOOK BACK AT HISTORY,

1630
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:26,267
WE SEE A VERY CLEAR PATTERN
OF MACHINE AUTOMATION

1631
01:24:26,300 --> 01:24:29,133
SLOWLY REPLACING HUMAN LABOR,

1632
01:24:29,167 --> 01:24:31,567
FROM THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF THE ELEVATOR MAN

1633
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,167
TO THE NEAR-FULL AUTOMATION

1634
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,300
OF AN AUTOMOBILE
PRODUCTION PLANT,

1635
01:24:35,333 --> 01:24:37,867
THE FACT IS,
AS TECHNOLOGY GROWS,

1636
01:24:37,900 --> 01:24:39,933
THE NEED FOR HUMANS
IN THE WORKFORCE

1637
01:24:39,967 --> 01:24:42,567
WILL CONTINUALLY BE DIMINISHED.

1638
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,900
THIS CREATES A SERIOUS CLASH,

1639
01:24:44,933 --> 01:24:49,600
WHICH PROVES THE FALSENESS OF
THE MONETARY-BASED LABOR SYSTEM,

1640
01:24:49,633 --> 01:24:51,600
FOR HUMAN EMPLOYMENT

1641
01:24:51,633 --> 01:24:55,967
IS IN DIRECT COMPETITION
WITH TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT.

1642
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,233
THEREFORE, GIVEN THE FUNDAMENTAL
PRIORITY OF PROFIT BY INDUSTRY,

1643
01:25:00,267 --> 01:25:03,333
PEOPLE THROUGH TIME
WILL BE CONTINUALLY LAID OFF

1644
01:25:03,367 --> 01:25:05,567
AND REPLACED BY MACHINE.

1645
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,667
-WHEN INDUSTRY
TAKES ON A MACHINE,

1646
01:25:07,700 --> 01:25:10,833
INSTEAD OF SHORTENING
THE WORKDAY, THEY DOWNSIZE.

1647
01:25:10,867 --> 01:25:12,100
YOU LOSE YOUR JOB.

1648
01:25:12,133 --> 01:25:14,867
SO YOU HAVE A RIGHT
TO FEAR MACHINES.

1649
01:25:14,900 --> 01:25:18,500
-IN A HIGH-TECHNOLOGY,
RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY,

1650
01:25:18,533 --> 01:25:20,133
IT IS CONSERVATIVE TO SAY

1651
01:25:20,167 --> 01:25:23,400
THAT ABOUT 90%
OF ALL CURRENT OCCUPATIONS

1652
01:25:23,433 --> 01:25:25,900
COULD BE PHASED OUT BY MACHINES,

1653
01:25:25,933 --> 01:25:29,733
FREEING HUMANS TO LIVE
THEIR LIFE WITHOUT SERVITUDE,

1654
01:25:29,767 --> 01:25:32,367
FOR THIS IS THE POINT
OF TECHNOLOGY ITSELF.

1655
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,567
AND THROUGH TIME,
WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY

1656
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:38,033
AND OTHER HIGHLY ADVANCED FORMS
OF SCIENCE,

1657
01:25:38,067 --> 01:25:42,700
IT IS NOT FARFETCHED TO SEE HOW
EVEN COMPLEX MEDICAL PROCEDURES

1658
01:25:42,733 --> 01:25:45,467
COULD BE PERFORMED BY MACHINES,
AS WELL,

1659
01:25:45,500 --> 01:25:46,933
AND BASED ON THE PATTERN,

1660
01:25:46,967 --> 01:25:51,533
WITH MUCH HIGHER SUCCESS RATES
THAN HUMANS GET TODAY.

1661
01:25:51,567 --> 01:25:55,133
THE PATH IS CLEAR, BUT
OUR MONETARY-BASED STRUCTURE

1662
01:25:55,167 --> 01:25:59,133
WHICH REQUIRES LABOR FOR INCOME
BLOCKS THIS PROGRESS,

1663
01:25:59,167 --> 01:26:02,667
FOR HUMANS NEED JOBS
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

1664
01:26:02,700 --> 01:26:05,600
THE BOTTOM LINE
IS THAT THIS SYSTEM MUST GO,

1665
01:26:05,633 --> 01:26:07,600
OR WE WILL NEVER BE FREE,

1666
01:26:07,633 --> 01:26:11,067
AND TECHNOLOGY
WILL BE CONSTANTLY PARALYZED.

1667
01:26:11,100 --> 01:26:14,167
-WHEN YOU HAVE MACHINES
THAT CLEAN OUT SEWERS,

1668
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,900
IT FREES A HUMAN BEING
FROM DOING THAT.

1669
01:26:16,933 --> 01:26:22,467
SO LOOK AT MACHINES AS
EXTENSIONS OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE.

1670
01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:27,600
-FURTHERMORE, MANY OCCUPATIONS
TODAY WILL HAVE SIMPLY NO BASIS

1671
01:26:27,633 --> 01:26:30,533
TO EXIST
IN A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY,

1672
01:26:30,567 --> 01:26:34,100
SUCH AS ANYTHING ASSOCIATED
WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF MONEY,

1673
01:26:34,133 --> 01:26:37,467
ADVERTISING, ALONG WITH
THE LEGAL SYSTEM ITSELF,

1674
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:39,100
FOR WITHOUT MONEY,

1675
01:26:39,133 --> 01:26:42,367
A GREAT MAJORITY OF THE CRIMES
THAT ARE COMMITTED TODAY

1676
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:43,700
WOULD NEVER OCCUR.

1677
01:26:43,733 --> 01:26:45,433
VIRTUALLY ALL FORMS OF CRIME

1678
01:26:45,467 --> 01:26:48,800
ARE A CONSEQUENCE OF THE
MONETARY SYSTEM EITHER DIRECTLY

1679
01:26:48,833 --> 01:26:54,167
OR BY NEUROSES INFLICTED
THROUGH FINANCIAL DEPRIVATION.

1680
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,067
THEREFORE, LAWS THEMSELVES
COULD EVENTUALLY BECOME EXTINCT.

1681
01:26:58,100 --> 01:27:01,733
-INSTEAD OF PUTTING UP A SIGN --
"DRIVE CAREFULLY.

1682
01:27:01,767 --> 01:27:03,233
SLIPPERY WHEN WET,"

1683
01:27:03,267 --> 01:27:06,933
PUT ABRASIVE IN THE HIGHWAY
SO IT'S NOT SLIPPERY WHEN WET.

1684
01:27:06,967 --> 01:27:09,133
AND IF A PERSON GETS IN A CAR
AND THEY'RE DRUNK

1685
01:27:09,167 --> 01:27:11,233
AND A CAR
OSCILLATES A GREAT DEAL,

1686
01:27:11,267 --> 01:27:14,067
THERE'S A LITTLE PENDULUM
THAT SWINGS UP AND BACK,

1687
01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:16,433
AND THAT'LL PULL THE CAR
OVER TO THE SIDE.

1688
01:27:16,467 --> 01:27:18,733
NOT A LAW -- A SOLUTION.

1689
01:27:18,767 --> 01:27:21,400
PUT SONAR AND RADAR
ON AUTOMOBILES

1690
01:27:21,433 --> 01:27:23,167
SO THEY CAN'T HIT ONE ANOTHER.

1691
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:27,967
MAN-MADE LAWS ARE ATTEMPTS
TO DEAL WITH OCCURRING PROBLEMS.

1692
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,767
AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO SOLVE
THEM, THEY MAKE A LAW.

1693
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,700
-IN THE UNITED STATES,

1694
01:27:33,733 --> 01:27:36,900
THE MOST PRIVATIZED CAPITALIST
COUNTRY ON THE PLANET,

1695
01:27:36,933 --> 01:27:38,767
IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE

1696
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,467
THAT IT ALSO HAS THE LARGEST
PRISON POPULATION IN THE WORLD,

1697
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:44,933
GROWING EVERY YEAR.

1698
01:27:44,967 --> 01:27:46,967
STATISTICALLY,
MOST OF THESE PEOPLE

1699
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,233
ARE UNEDUCATED AND COME
FROM POOR, DEPRIVED SOCIETIES.

1700
01:27:51,267 --> 01:27:53,433
AND CONTRARY TO PROPAGANDA,

1701
01:27:53,467 --> 01:27:55,900
IT IS
THIS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONING

1702
01:27:55,933 --> 01:27:59,700
WHICH LURES THEM INTO CRIMINAL
AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR.

1703
01:27:59,733 --> 01:28:04,000
HOWEVER, SOCIETY LOOKS THE OTHER
WAY IN REGARD TO THIS POINT.

1704
01:28:04,033 --> 01:28:06,000
THE LEGAL AND PRISON SYSTEMS

1705
01:28:06,033 --> 01:28:09,167
ARE JUST MORE EXAMPLES
OF HOW OUR SOCIETY

1706
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,033
AVOIDS EXAMINING
THE ROOT CAUSES OF BEHAVIOR.

1707
01:28:13,067 --> 01:28:16,467
BILLIONS ARE SPENT EACH YEAR
ON PRISONS AND POLICE,

1708
01:28:16,500 --> 01:28:20,467
WHILE ONLY A FRACTION IS SPENT
ON PROGRAMS FOR POVERTY,

1709
01:28:20,500 --> 01:28:22,633
WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST
FUNDAMENTAL VARIABLES

1710
01:28:22,667 --> 01:28:25,233
RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIME
TO BEGIN WITH.

1711
01:28:25,267 --> 01:28:29,200
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE
AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM WHICH PREFERS

1712
01:28:29,233 --> 01:28:32,933
AND, IN FACT, CREATES
SCARCITY AND DEPRIVATION,

1713
01:28:32,967 --> 01:28:35,100
CRIME WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

1714
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:45,033
-IF PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS
TO THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE

1715
01:28:45,067 --> 01:28:50,200
WITHOUT SERVITUDE, DEBT,
BARTER, TRADE,

1716
01:28:50,233 --> 01:28:52,400
THEY BEHAVE VERY DIFFERENTLY.

1717
01:28:52,433 --> 01:28:57,000
YOU WANT ALL THESE THINGS
AVAILABLE WITHOUT A PRICE TAG.

1718
01:28:57,033 --> 01:29:00,167
NOW, THEN,
"YOU GOT TO HAVE A PRICE TAG.

1719
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,800
"WELL,
WHAT WILL MOTIVATE PEOPLE?

1720
01:29:01,833 --> 01:29:04,333
"A MAN GETS EVERYTHING HE WANTS,

1721
01:29:04,367 --> 01:29:06,567
HE'LL JUST LAY AROUND
IN THE SUN."

1722
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:08,800
THIS IS THE MYTH
THEY PERPETUATE.

1723
01:29:08,833 --> 01:29:10,800
PEOPLE IN OUR CULTURE
ARE TRAINED

1724
01:29:10,833 --> 01:29:15,333
TO BELIEVE THAT THE MONETARY
SYSTEM PRODUCES INCENTIVE.

1725
01:29:15,367 --> 01:29:16,833
IF THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THINGS,

1726
01:29:16,867 --> 01:29:18,967
WHY SHOULD
THEY WANT TO DO ANYTHING?

1727
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,733
THEY WILL LOSE THEIR INCENTIVE.

1728
01:29:20,767 --> 01:29:24,233
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TAUGHT
TO SUPPORT THE MONETARY SYSTEM.

1729
01:29:24,267 --> 01:29:27,167
-WHEN YOU TAKE MONEY
OUT OF THE SCENARIO,

1730
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,800
THERE WOULD BE
DIFFERENT INCENTIVES --

1731
01:29:29,833 --> 01:29:31,667
VERY DIFFERENT INCENTIVES.

1732
01:29:31,700 --> 01:29:34,800
-WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS
TO THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE,

1733
01:29:34,833 --> 01:29:36,500
THEIR INCENTIVES CHANGE.

1734
01:29:36,533 --> 01:29:38,933
WHAT ABOUT THE MOON
AND THE STARS?

1735
01:29:38,967 --> 01:29:41,033
NEW INCENTIVES ARISE.

1736
01:29:41,067 --> 01:29:43,567
IF YOU MAKE A PAINTING
THAT YOU ENJOY,

1737
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:47,467
YOU WILL ENJOY GIVING IT
TO OTHER PEOPLE, NOT SELLING IT.

1738
01:29:51,733 --> 01:29:54,500
-I THINK MOST OF THE EDUCATION
THAT I'VE SEEN TODAY

1739
01:29:54,533 --> 01:29:58,467
IS ESSENTIALLY PRODUCING
A PERSON FOR A JOB.

1740
01:29:58,500 --> 01:29:59,833
IT'S VERY SPECIALIZED.

1741
01:29:59,867 --> 01:30:01,300
THEY'RE NOT GENERALISTS.

1742
01:30:01,333 --> 01:30:04,100
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT
A LOT OF DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.

1743
01:30:04,133 --> 01:30:07,033
I DON'T THINK YOU COULD GET
PEOPLE TO GO TO WAR

1744
01:30:07,067 --> 01:30:10,233
IF THEY KNEW A LOT
ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

1745
01:30:10,267 --> 01:30:13,067
I THINK
EDUCATION IS MOSTLY ROTE.

1746
01:30:13,100 --> 01:30:16,067
AND THEY'RE NOT TAUGHT
HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

1747
01:30:16,100 --> 01:30:18,967
THEY'RE NOT GIVEN THE TOOLS
EMOTIONALLY

1748
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,367
OR WITHIN THEIR OWN FIELD
OF HOW TO DO CRITICAL THINKING.

1749
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:24,767
A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY --

1750
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,533
THE EDUCATION
WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.

1751
01:30:26,567 --> 01:30:30,800
-OUR SOCIETY'S MAJOR CONCERN
IS MENTAL DEVELOPMENT

1752
01:30:30,833 --> 01:30:35,700
AND TO MOTIVATE EACH PERSON
TO THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL,

1753
01:30:35,733 --> 01:30:38,667
BECAUSE OUR PHILOSOPHY IS,
THE SMARTER PEOPLE ARE,

1754
01:30:38,700 --> 01:30:39,900
THE RICHER THE WORLD

1755
01:30:39,933 --> 01:30:42,667
'CAUSE EVERYBODY
BECOMES A CONTRIBUTOR.

1756
01:30:42,700 --> 01:30:46,967
-THE SMARTER YOUR KIDS ARE,
THE BETTER MY LIFE WILL BE

1757
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,100
'CAUSE THEY'LL BE CONTRIBUTING
MORE CONSTRUCTIVELY

1758
01:30:49,133 --> 01:30:51,800
TO THE ENVIRONMENT
AND TO MY LIFE,

1759
01:30:51,833 --> 01:30:54,067
BECAUSE EVERYTHING
THAT WE DEVISE

1760
01:30:54,100 --> 01:30:58,100
WITHIN A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY
WOULD BE APPLIED TO SOCIETY.

1761
01:30:58,133 --> 01:30:59,967
THERE WOULD BE NOTHING
TO HOLD IT BACK.

1762
01:31:03,833 --> 01:31:08,267
-PATRIOTISM, WEAPONS,
ARMIES, NAVYS --

1763
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:12,367
ALL THAT IS A SIGN
THAT WE'RE NOT CIVILIZED YET.

1764
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:14,433
KIDS WILL ASK THEIR PARENTS,

1765
01:31:14,467 --> 01:31:18,667
"DIDN'T YOU SEE THE NECESSITY
OF THE MACHINES?

1766
01:31:18,700 --> 01:31:21,500
"DAD, COULDN'T YOU SEE
THAT WAR WAS INEVITABLE

1767
01:31:21,533 --> 01:31:23,533
"WHEN YOU PRODUCE SCARCITY?

1768
01:31:23,567 --> 01:31:24,900
ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?"

1769
01:31:24,933 --> 01:31:26,733
OF COURSE,
THE KID WILL UNDERSTAND

1770
01:31:26,767 --> 01:31:28,067
THAT YOU WERE PINHEADS

1771
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:32,000
RAISED MERELY TO SERVE
THE ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS.

1772
01:31:32,033 --> 01:31:35,333
WE'RE SUCH AN ABOMINABLE,
SICK SOCIETY

1773
01:31:35,367 --> 01:31:37,233
THAT WE WON'T MAKE
THE HISTORY BOOKS.

1774
01:31:37,267 --> 01:31:39,633
THEY'LL JUST SAY
THAT LARGE NATIONS

1775
01:31:39,667 --> 01:31:43,033
TOOK LAND FROM SMALLER NATIONS,
USED FORCE AND VIOLENCE.

1776
01:31:43,067 --> 01:31:46,633
YOU'LL GET HISTORY
TALKED ABOUT AS CORRUPT BEHAVIOR

1777
01:31:46,667 --> 01:31:47,833
ALL THE WAY ALONG

1778
01:31:47,867 --> 01:31:50,200
UNTIL THE BEGINNING
OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD.

1779
01:31:50,233 --> 01:31:53,100
THAT'S WHEN ALL THE NATIONS
WORK TOGETHER.

1780
01:31:53,133 --> 01:31:54,900
WORLD UNIFICATION --

1781
01:31:54,933 --> 01:31:59,033
WORKING TOWARD COMMON GOOD
FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS

1782
01:31:59,067 --> 01:32:04,133
AND WITHOUT ANYONE BEING
SUBSERVIENT TO ANYONE ELSE.

1783
01:32:04,167 --> 01:32:06,433
WITHOUT SOCIAL STRATIFICATION,

1784
01:32:06,467 --> 01:32:10,633
WHETHER IT BE TECHNICAL ELITISM
OR ANY OTHER KIND OF ELITISM --

1785
01:32:10,667 --> 01:32:12,967
ERADICATED
FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

1786
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:17,167
THE STATE DOES NOTHING
'CAUSE THERE IS NO STATE.

1787
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,567
[ Echoing ] THERE IS NO STATE.

1788
01:32:21,667 --> 01:32:23,833
[ Normal voice ]
THE SYSTEM I ADVOCATE --

1789
01:32:23,867 --> 01:32:27,633
A RESOURCE-BASED GLOBAL
ECONOMY -- IS NOT PERFECT.

1790
01:32:27,667 --> 01:32:30,033
IT'S JUST A LOT BETTER
THAN WHAT WE HAVE.

1791
01:32:30,067 --> 01:32:33,800
WE CAN NEVER ACHIEVE PERFECTION.

1792
01:32:50,533 --> 01:32:52,933
-THE SOCIAL VALUES
OF OUR SOCIETY,

1793
01:32:52,967 --> 01:32:56,167
WHICH HAS MANIFESTED IN
PERPETUAL WARFARE, CORRUPTION,

1794
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,167
OPPRESSIVE LAWS,
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION,

1795
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,700
IRRELEVANT SUPERSTITIONS,
ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION,

1796
01:33:02,733 --> 01:33:05,000
AND A DESPOTIC,
SOCIALLY INDIFFERENT,

1797
01:33:05,033 --> 01:33:07,567
PROFIT-ORIENTED RULING CLASS

1798
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:11,433
IS FUNDAMENTALLY THE RESULT
OF A COLLECTIVE IGNORANCE

1799
01:33:11,467 --> 01:33:13,667
OF TWO
OF THE MOST BASIC INSIGHTS

1800
01:33:13,700 --> 01:33:16,300
HUMANS CAN HAVE ABOUT REALITY --

1801
01:33:16,333 --> 01:33:21,167
THE EMERGENT AND SYMBIOTIC
ASPECTS OF NATURAL LAW.

1802
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:25,133
THE EMERGENT NATURE OF REALITY
IS THAT ALL SYSTEMS,

1803
01:33:25,167 --> 01:33:29,833
WHETHER IT IS KNOWLEDGE,
SOCIETY, TECHNOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY,

1804
01:33:29,867 --> 01:33:31,733
OR ANY OTHER CREATION

1805
01:33:31,767 --> 01:33:36,400
WILL, WHEN UNINHIBITED,
UNDERGO FLUID, PERPETUAL CHANGE.

1806
01:33:36,433 --> 01:33:38,767
WHAT WE CONSIDER COMMONPLACE
TODAY,

1807
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:41,833
SUCH AS MODERN COMMUNICATION
AND TRANSPORTATION,

1808
01:33:41,867 --> 01:33:45,767
WOULD HAVE BEEN UNIMAGINABLE
IN ANCIENT TIMES.

1809
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,767
LIKEWISE, THE FUTURE
WILL CONTAIN TECHNOLOGIES,

1810
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,267
REALIZATIONS,
AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES

1811
01:33:51,300 --> 01:33:54,100
THAT WE CANNOT EVEN FATHOM
IN THE PRESENT.

1812
01:33:54,133 --> 01:33:57,333
WE HAVE GONE FROM ALCHEMY
TO CHEMISTRY,

1813
01:33:57,367 --> 01:34:00,733
FROM A GEOCENTRIC UNIVERSE
TO A HELIOCENTRIC,

1814
01:34:00,767 --> 01:34:03,767
FROM BELIEVING THAT DEMONS
WERE THE CAUSE OF ILLNESS

1815
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:06,000
TO MODERN MEDICINE.

1816
01:34:06,033 --> 01:34:08,667
THIS DEVELOPMENT
SHOWS NO SIGN OF ENDING,

1817
01:34:08,700 --> 01:34:11,300
AND IT IS THIS AWARENESS
THAT ALIGNS US

1818
01:34:11,333 --> 01:34:16,767
AND LEADS US ON A CONTINUOUS
PATH TO GROWTH AND PROGRESS.

1819
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,033
STATIC, EMPIRICAL KNOWLEDGE
DOES NOT EXIST.

1820
01:34:20,067 --> 01:34:21,867
RATHER, IT IS THE INSIGHT

1821
01:34:21,900 --> 01:34:26,400
OF THE EMERGENCE OF ALL SYSTEMS
WE MUST RECOGNIZE.

1822
01:34:26,433 --> 01:34:30,133
THIS MEANS WE MUST BE OPEN
TO NEW INFORMATION AT ALL TIMES,

1823
01:34:30,167 --> 01:34:32,967
EVEN IF IT THREATENS
OUR CURRENT BELIEF SYSTEM

1824
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,300
AND, HENCE, IDENTITIES.

1825
01:34:35,333 --> 01:34:39,400
SADLY, SOCIETY TODAY
HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS,

1826
01:34:39,433 --> 01:34:43,000
AND THE ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS
CONTINUE TO PARALYZE GROWTH

1827
01:34:43,033 --> 01:34:46,567
BY PRESERVING
OUTDATED SOCIAL STRUCTURES.

1828
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,567
SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE POPULATION
SUFFERS FROM A FEAR OF CHANGE,

1829
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,800
FOR THEIR CONDITIONING
ASSUMES A STATIC IDENTITY,

1830
01:34:53,833 --> 01:34:55,867
AND CHALLENGING
ONE'S BELIEF SYSTEM

1831
01:34:55,900 --> 01:34:59,400
USUALLY RESULTS IN INSULT
AND APPREHENSION,

1832
01:34:59,433 --> 01:35:04,667
FOR BEING WRONG IS ERRONEOUSLY
ASSOCIATED WITH FAILURE,

1833
01:35:04,700 --> 01:35:08,733
WHEN, IN FACT, TO BE PROVEN
WRONG SHOULD BE CELEBRATED,

1834
01:35:08,767 --> 01:35:12,500
FOR IT IS ELEVATING SOMEONE
TO A NEW LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING,

1835
01:35:12,533 --> 01:35:14,933
FURTHERING AWARENESS.

1836
01:35:14,967 --> 01:35:19,567
THE FACT IS, THERE IS NO SUCH
THING AS A SMART HUMAN BEING,

1837
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,433
FOR IT IS
MERELY A MATTER OF TIME

1838
01:35:21,467 --> 01:35:26,467
BEFORE THEIR IDEAS ARE UPDATED,
CHANGED, OR ERADICATED.

1839
01:35:26,500 --> 01:35:30,133
AND THIS TENDENCY TO BLINDLY
HOLD ON TO A BELIEF SYSTEM,

1840
01:35:30,167 --> 01:35:34,100
SHELTERING IT FROM NEW, POSSIBLY
TRANSFORMING INFORMATION

1841
01:35:34,133 --> 01:35:39,500
IS NOTHING LESS THAN A FORM
OF INTELLECTUAL MATERIALISM.

1842
01:35:39,533 --> 01:35:42,533
THE MONETARY SYSTEM
PERPETUATES THIS MATERIALISM

1843
01:35:42,567 --> 01:35:45,333
NOT ONLY BY
ITS SELF-PRESERVING STRUCTURES,

1844
01:35:45,367 --> 01:35:47,633
BUT ALSO THROUGH
THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PEOPLE

1845
01:35:47,667 --> 01:35:49,067
WHO HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED

1846
01:35:49,100 --> 01:35:52,400
INTO BLINDLY AND THOUGHTLESSLY
UPHOLDING THESE STRUCTURES,

1847
01:35:52,433 --> 01:35:55,733
THEREFORE BECOMING
SELF-APPOINTED GUARDIANS

1848
01:35:55,767 --> 01:35:57,733
OF THE STATUS QUO --

1849
01:35:57,767 --> 01:36:01,900
SHEEP WHICH NO LONGER NEED
A SHEEPDOG TO CONTROL THEM,

1850
01:36:01,933 --> 01:36:03,367
FOR THEY CONTROL EACH OTHER

1851
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,500
BY OSTRACIZING
THOSE WHO STEP OUT OF THE NORM.

1852
01:36:07,533 --> 01:36:11,367
THIS TENDENCY TO RESIST CHANGE
AND UPHOLD EXISTING INSTITUTIONS

1853
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:15,500
FOR THE SAKE OF IDENTITY,
COMFORT, POWER, AND PROFIT

1854
01:36:15,533 --> 01:36:17,633
IS COMPLETELY UNSUSTAINABLE

1855
01:36:17,667 --> 01:36:21,533
AND WILL ONLY PRODUCE FURTHER
IMBALANCE, FRAGMENTATION,

1856
01:36:21,567 --> 01:36:24,700
DISTORTION,
AND INVARIABLY DESTRUCTION.

1857
01:36:27,033 --> 01:36:28,867
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE.

1858
01:36:29,933 --> 01:36:33,733
FROM HUNTERS AND GATHERERS,
TO THE AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION,

1859
01:36:33,767 --> 01:36:35,567
TO THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION,

1860
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:37,200
THE PATTERN IS CLEAR.

1861
01:36:37,233 --> 01:36:39,467
IT IS TIME
FOR A NEW SOCIAL SYSTEM

1862
01:36:39,500 --> 01:36:43,567
WHICH REFLECTS THE
UNDERSTANDINGS WE HAVE TODAY.

1863
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:45,533
THE MONETARY SYSTEM IS A PRODUCT

1864
01:36:45,567 --> 01:36:49,167
OF A PERIOD OF TIME
WHERE SCARCITY WAS A REALITY.

1865
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:50,833
NOW, WITH THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY,

1866
01:36:50,867 --> 01:36:53,967
IT IS NO LONGER RELEVANT
TO SOCIETY,

1867
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:58,333
GONE WITH THE ABERRANT BEHAVIOR
IT MANIFESTS.

1868
01:36:58,367 --> 01:37:02,967
LIKEWISE, DOMINANT WORLD VIEWS,
SUCH AS THEISTIC RELIGION,

1869
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:06,133
OPERATE WITH
THE SAME SOCIAL IRRELEVANCY.

1870
01:37:06,167 --> 01:37:11,633
ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY, JUDAISM,
HINDUISM, AND ALL OF THE OTHERS

1871
01:37:11,667 --> 01:37:15,067
EXIST AS BARRIERS
TO PERSONAL AND SOCIAL GROWTH,

1872
01:37:15,100 --> 01:37:19,367
FOR EACH GROUP
PERPETUATES A CLOSED WORLD VIEW.

1873
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,567
AND THIS FINITE UNDERSTANDING
THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE

1874
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:26,967
IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE
IN AN EMERGENT UNIVERSE.

1875
01:37:28,667 --> 01:37:31,000
YET RELIGION HAS SUCCEEDED

1876
01:37:31,033 --> 01:37:33,700
IN SHUTTING DOWN
THE AWARENESS OF THIS EMERGENCE

1877
01:37:33,733 --> 01:37:37,033
BY INSTILLING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
DISTORTION OF FAITH

1878
01:37:37,067 --> 01:37:38,500
UPON ITS FOLLOWERS,

1879
01:37:38,533 --> 01:37:41,333
WHERE LOGIC AND NEW INFORMATION
IS REJECTED

1880
01:37:41,367 --> 01:37:45,433
IN FAVOR OF TRADITIONALIZED,
OUTDATED BELIEFS.

1881
01:37:45,467 --> 01:37:48,033
-THE CONCEPT OF GOD

1882
01:37:48,067 --> 01:37:51,933
IS REALLY A METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
FOR THE NATURE OF THINGS.

1883
01:37:51,967 --> 01:37:54,700
IN THE EARLY DAYS,
PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ENOUGH

1884
01:37:54,733 --> 01:37:58,267
ABOUT HOW THINGS FORMED,
HOW NATURE WORKED,

1885
01:37:58,300 --> 01:38:00,833
SO THEY INVENTED
THEIR OWN LITTLE STORIES.

1886
01:38:00,867 --> 01:38:06,033
AND THEY MADE GOD
IN THEIR OWN IMAGE --

1887
01:38:06,067 --> 01:38:09,800
A GUY THAT GETS ANGRY
WHEN PEOPLE DON'T BEHAVE RIGHT.

1888
01:38:09,833 --> 01:38:12,700
HE CREATES FLOODS
AND EARTHQUAKES,

1889
01:38:12,733 --> 01:38:15,833
AND THEY SAY IT'S AN ACT OF GOD.

1890
01:38:15,867 --> 01:38:19,267
-A CURSORY GLANCE AT THE
SUPPRESSED HISTORY OF RELIGION

1891
01:38:19,300 --> 01:38:22,433
REVEALS THAT EVEN THE
FOUNDATIONAL MYTHS THEMSELVES

1892
01:38:22,467 --> 01:38:24,633
ARE EMERGENT CULMINATIONS

1893
01:38:24,667 --> 01:38:27,233
DEVELOPED THROUGH INFLUENCE
OVER TIME.

1894
01:38:27,267 --> 01:38:30,200
FOR EXAMPLE, A CARDINAL DOCTRINE
OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

1895
01:38:30,233 --> 01:38:32,433
IS THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION
OF CHRIST.

1896
01:38:32,467 --> 01:38:36,400
THIS NOTION IS SO IMPORTANT
THAT THE BIBLE ITSELF STATES...

1897
01:38:44,267 --> 01:38:47,600
YET IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
TO TAKE THIS ACCOUNT LITERALLY,

1898
01:38:47,633 --> 01:38:49,733
FOR NOT ONLY
IS THERE NO PRIMARY SOURCE

1899
01:38:49,767 --> 01:38:53,300
DENOTING THIS SUPERNATURAL EVENT
IN SECULAR HISTORY,

1900
01:38:53,333 --> 01:38:56,567
AWARENESS OF THE ENORMOUS NUMBER
OF PRE-CHRISTIAN SAVIORS

1901
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,233
WHO ALSO DIED
AND WERE RESURRECTED

1902
01:38:59,267 --> 01:39:02,500
IMMEDIATELY PUTS THE STORY
IN MYTHOLOGICAL TERRITORY

1903
01:39:02,533 --> 01:39:04,633
BY ASSOCIATION.

1904
01:39:04,667 --> 01:39:07,133
EARLY CHURCH FIGURES,
SUCH AS TERTULLIAN,

1905
01:39:07,167 --> 01:39:10,233
WENT TO GREAT LENGTHS
TO BREAK THESE ASSOCIATIONS,

1906
01:39:10,267 --> 01:39:11,933
EVEN CLAIMING THAT THE DEVIL

1907
01:39:11,967 --> 01:39:14,633
CAUSED THE SIMILARITIES
TO OCCUR,

1908
01:39:14,667 --> 01:39:16,533
STATING IN THE 2nd CENTURY...

1909
01:39:39,667 --> 01:39:43,267
WHAT IS TRULY SAD, HOWEVER,
IS THAT WHEN WE CEASE THE IDEA

1910
01:39:43,300 --> 01:39:46,233
THAT THE STORIES
FROM CHRISTIANITY, JUDAISM,

1911
01:39:46,267 --> 01:39:50,100
ISLAM, AND ALL THE OTHERS
ARE LITERAL HISTORY

1912
01:39:50,133 --> 01:39:52,400
AND ACCEPT THEM
FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE,

1913
01:39:52,433 --> 01:39:55,167
WHICH ARE
PURELY ALLEGORICAL EXPRESSIONS

1914
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,600
DERIVED FROM MANY FAITHS,

1915
01:39:57,633 --> 01:40:01,000
WE SEE THAT ALL RELIGIONS
SHARE A COMMON THREAD,

1916
01:40:01,033 --> 01:40:03,333
AND IT IS
THIS UNIFYING IMPERATIVE

1917
01:40:03,367 --> 01:40:06,400
THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED
AND APPRECIATED.

1918
01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:11,567
RELIGIOUS BELIEF HAS CAUSED
MORE FRAGMENTATION AND CONFLICT

1919
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,000
THAN ANY OTHER IDEOLOGY.

1920
01:40:14,033 --> 01:40:18,367
CHRISTIANITY ALONE
HAS 34,000 DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS.

1921
01:40:19,767 --> 01:40:23,167
-THE BIBLE IS SUBJECT
TO INTERPRETATION.

1922
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:26,400
WHEN YOU READ IT, YOU SAY,
"I THINK JESUS MEANT THIS.

1923
01:40:26,433 --> 01:40:28,500
I THINK JOB MEAN THAT."

1924
01:40:28,533 --> 01:40:30,333
"OH, NO.
HE MEANT THIS."

1925
01:40:30,367 --> 01:40:31,633
SO YOU HAVE THE LUTHERAN,

1926
01:40:31,667 --> 01:40:34,633
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST,
THE CATHOLIC.

1927
01:40:34,667 --> 01:40:38,500
AND A CHURCH DIVIDED
IS NO CHURCH AT ALL.

1928
01:40:38,533 --> 01:40:42,333
[ Echoing ] AND A CHURCH DIVIDED
IS NO CHURCH AT ALL.

1929
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,200
-AND THIS POINT ON DIVISION,

1930
01:40:47,233 --> 01:40:50,633
WHICH IS A TRADEMARK
OF ALL THEISTIC RELIGIONS,

1931
01:40:50,667 --> 01:40:53,733
BRINGS US TO OUR SECOND FAILURE
OF AWARENESS --

1932
01:40:53,767 --> 01:40:56,033
THE FALSE ASSUMPTION
OF SEPARATION

1933
01:40:56,067 --> 01:41:02,033
THROUGH THE REJECTION OF THE
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP OF LIFE.

1934
01:41:02,067 --> 01:41:03,400
APART FROM THE UNDERSTANDING

1935
01:41:03,433 --> 01:41:06,067
THAT ALL NATURAL SYSTEMS
ARE EMERGENT

1936
01:41:06,100 --> 01:41:07,767
OR ALL NOTIONS OF REALITY

1937
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:11,733
WILL BE CONSTANTLY DEVELOPED,
ALTERED, AND EVEN ERADICATED,

1938
01:41:11,767 --> 01:41:14,433
WE MUST ALSO UNDERSTAND
THAT ALL SYSTEMS

1939
01:41:14,467 --> 01:41:17,267
ARE, IN FACT, INVENTED FRAGMENTS

1940
01:41:17,300 --> 01:41:20,133
MERELY FOR THE SAKE
OF CONVERSATION,

1941
01:41:20,167 --> 01:41:23,967
FOR THERE IS NO SUCH THING
AS INDEPENDENCE IN NATURE.

1942
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:25,333
THE WHOLE OF NATURE

1943
01:41:25,367 --> 01:41:28,933
IS A UNIFIED SYSTEM
OF INTERDEPENDENT VARIABLES,

1944
01:41:28,967 --> 01:41:31,333
EACH A CAUSE AND A REACTION,

1945
01:41:31,367 --> 01:41:35,500
EXISTING ONLY
AS A CONCENTRATED WHOLE.

1946
01:41:35,533 --> 01:41:38,767
-YOU DON'T SEE THE PLUG
CONNECTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT,

1947
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:42,400
SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE FREE,
WANDERING AROUND.

1948
01:41:42,433 --> 01:41:45,267
TAKE THE OXYGEN AWAY,
WE ALL DIE IMMEDIATELY.

1949
01:41:45,300 --> 01:41:47,567
TAKE PLANT LIFE AWAY, WE DIE.

1950
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,333
AND WITHOUT THE SUN,
ALL THE PLANTS DIE.

1951
01:41:50,367 --> 01:41:52,200
SO WE ARE CONNECTED.

1952
01:41:52,233 --> 01:41:55,200
-WE REALLY MUST TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT THE TOTALITY.

1953
01:41:55,233 --> 01:41:57,667
THIS ISN'T JUST A HUMAN
EXPERIENCE ON THIS PLANET.

1954
01:41:57,700 --> 01:41:59,067
THIS IS A TOTAL EXPERIENCE.

1955
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:01,633
AND WE KNOW WE CAN'T SURVIVE
WITHOUT PLANTS AND ANIMALS.

1956
01:42:01,667 --> 01:42:04,300
WE KNOW WE CAN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT
THE FOUR ELEMENTS, YOU KNOW?

1957
01:42:04,333 --> 01:42:08,433
AND SO, WHEN ARE WE GONNA REALLY
START TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT?

1958
01:42:08,467 --> 01:42:10,333
THAT'S WHAT IT IS
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

1959
01:42:10,367 --> 01:42:14,567
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON HOW WELL WE
RELATE TO EVERYTHING AROUND US.

1960
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:17,700
I'M VERY AWARE OF THE FACT
THAT MY GRANDSON

1961
01:42:17,733 --> 01:42:20,333
CANNOT POSSIBLY HOPE TO INHERIT

1962
01:42:20,367 --> 01:42:23,967
A SUSTAINABLE, PEACEFUL,
STABLE, SOCIALLY JUST WORLD

1963
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:25,800
UNLESS EVERY CHILD TODAY

1964
01:42:25,833 --> 01:42:29,400
GROWING UP IN ETHIOPIA
AND INDONESIA AND BOLIVIA

1965
01:42:29,433 --> 01:42:33,867
AND PALESTINE AND ISRAEL
ALSO HAS THAT SAME EXPECTATION.

1966
01:42:33,900 --> 01:42:36,100
YOU GOT TO TAKE CARE
OF THE WHOLE COMMUNITY,

1967
01:42:36,133 --> 01:42:38,233
OR YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
SERIOUS PROBLEMS.

1968
01:42:38,267 --> 01:42:42,500
AND NOW WE HAVE TO SEE THAT
THE WHOLE WORLD IS THE COMMUNITY

1969
01:42:42,533 --> 01:42:45,833
AND WE MUST ALL TAKE CARE
OF EACH OTHER THAT WAY.

1970
01:42:45,867 --> 01:42:47,967
AND IT'S NOT JUST A COMMUNITY
OF HUMAN BEINGS.

1971
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,900
IT'S A COMMUNITY OF PLANTS
AND ANIMALS AND ELEMENTS.

1972
01:42:50,933 --> 01:42:53,900
AND WE REALLY NEED
TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

1973
01:42:53,933 --> 01:42:56,600
THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA BRING US
JOY, TOO, AND PLEASURE.

1974
01:42:56,633 --> 01:42:58,867
THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING
IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW.

1975
01:42:58,900 --> 01:43:02,167
WE CAN CALL IT SPIRITUALITY,
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS,

1976
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:06,200
JOY COMES FROM THAT BLISS
OF CONNECTEDNESS.

1977
01:43:06,233 --> 01:43:07,733
THAT'S OUR GOD SPIRIT.

1978
01:43:07,767 --> 01:43:11,167
THAT'S THAT SIDE OF OURSELVES
THAT REALLY FEELS IT.

1979
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,067
AND YOU CAN FEEL IT
DEEP INSIDE YOU.

1980
01:43:13,100 --> 01:43:14,933
IT'S THIS AMAZING,
WONDERFUL FEELING.

1981
01:43:14,967 --> 01:43:16,200
AND YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU GET IT.

1982
01:43:16,233 --> 01:43:18,133
YOU DON'T GET IT FROM MONEY.

1983
01:43:18,167 --> 01:43:20,133
YOU GET IT FROM CONNECTION.

1984
01:43:21,933 --> 01:43:24,400
-NOW, IF THAT ISN'T A HAZARD
TO THIS COUNTRY...

1985
01:43:24,433 --> 01:43:26,067
[ LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE ]

1986
01:43:26,100 --> 01:43:28,500
HOW ARE WE GONNA KEEP BUILDING
NUCLEAR WEAPONS?

1987
01:43:28,533 --> 01:43:30,600
[ Laughing ]
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

1988
01:43:30,633 --> 01:43:32,967
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
TO THE ARMS INDUSTRY

1989
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:34,833
WHEN WE REALIZE WE'RE ALL ONE?

1990
01:43:34,867 --> 01:43:36,133
[ LAUGHS ]

1991
01:43:36,167 --> 01:43:38,100
IT'S GONNA FUCK UP THE ECONOMY!

1992
01:43:38,133 --> 01:43:40,367
THE ECONOMY THAT'S FAKE, ANYWAY.

1993
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,367
[ Echoing ] THE ECONOMY
THAT'S FAKE, ANYWAY.

1994
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:44,133
THE ECONOMY THAT'S FAKE,
ANYWAY.

1995
01:43:44,167 --> 01:43:46,100
THE ECONOMY THAT'S FAKE,
ANYWAY.

1996
01:43:46,133 --> 01:43:47,833
THE ECONOMY THAT'S FAKE,
ANYWAY.

1997
01:43:47,867 --> 01:43:49,167
[ LAUGHS ]

1998
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,000
[ Normal voice ]
WHICH WOULD BE A REAL BUMMER.

1999
01:43:51,033 --> 01:43:56,300
I CAN SEE WHY THE GOVERNMENT'S
CRACKING DOWN

2000
01:43:56,333 --> 01:43:59,767
ON THE IDEA OF EXPERIENCING
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

2001
01:44:10,767 --> 01:44:12,200
-ONCE WE UNDERSTAND

2002
01:44:12,233 --> 01:44:14,933
THAT THE INTEGRITY
OF OUR PERSONAL EXISTENCES

2003
01:44:14,967 --> 01:44:16,600
ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT

2004
01:44:16,633 --> 01:44:19,967
ON THE INTEGRITY
OF EVERYTHING ELSE IN OUR WORLD,

2005
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:24,433
WE HAVE TRULY UNDERSTOOD THE
MEANING OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,

2006
01:44:24,467 --> 01:44:26,767
FOR LOVE IS EXTENSIONALITY,

2007
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,133
AND SEEING EVERYTHING AS YOU
AND YOU AS EVERYTHING

2008
01:44:30,167 --> 01:44:31,900
CAN HAVE NO CONDITIONALITIES,

2009
01:44:31,933 --> 01:44:35,833
FOR, IN FACT,
WE ARE ALL EVERYTHING AT ONCE.

2010
01:44:35,867 --> 01:44:38,767
-IF IT'S TRUE THAT WE'RE ALL
FROM THE CENTER OF A STAR --

2011
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:40,733
EVERY ATOM IN EACH OF US
FROM THE CENTER OF A STAR --

2012
01:44:40,767 --> 01:44:42,433
THEN WE'RE ALL THE SAME THING.

2013
01:44:42,467 --> 01:44:43,633
EVEN A COKE MACHINE

2014
01:44:43,667 --> 01:44:45,800
OR A CIGARETTE BUTT
IN THE STREET IN BUFFALO

2015
01:44:45,833 --> 01:44:47,633
IS MADE OUT OF ATOMS
THAT CAME FROM A STAR.

2016
01:44:47,667 --> 01:44:49,433
THEY'VE ALL BEEN RECYCLED
THOUSANDS OF TIMES,

2017
01:44:49,467 --> 01:44:50,833
AS HAVE YOU AND I.

2018
01:44:50,867 --> 01:44:54,267
AND THEREFORE,
IT'S ONLY ME OUT THERE.

2019
01:44:54,300 --> 01:44:55,900
SO WHAT IS THERE
TO BE AFRAID OF?

2020
01:44:55,933 --> 01:44:58,633
WHAT IS THERE THAT NEEDS
SOLACE-SEEKING? NOTHING.

2021
01:44:58,667 --> 01:45:01,400
THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF
BECAUSE ITS ALL US.

2022
01:45:01,433 --> 01:45:03,633
THE TROUBLE IS,
WE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED

2023
01:45:03,667 --> 01:45:05,867
BY BEING BORN
AND GIVEN A NAME AND AN IDENTITY

2024
01:45:05,900 --> 01:45:07,200
AND BEING INDIVIDUATED.

2025
01:45:07,233 --> 01:45:08,633
WE'VE BEEN SEPARATED
FROM THE ONENESS,

2026
01:45:08,667 --> 01:45:09,967
AND THAT'S WHAT RELIGION
EXPLOITS --

2027
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:11,200
THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS YEARNING

2028
01:45:11,233 --> 01:45:13,733
TO BE PART
OF THE OVERALL ONE AGAIN.

2029
01:45:13,767 --> 01:45:15,867
SO THEY EXPLOIT THAT.
THEY CALL IT "GOD."

2030
01:45:15,900 --> 01:45:17,233
THEY SAY HE HAS RULES.

2031
01:45:17,267 --> 01:45:18,767
AND I THINK THAT'S CRUEL.

2032
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,467
I THINK YOU CAN DO IT
ABSENT RELIGION.

2033
01:46:09,367 --> 01:46:11,233
-IT'S TIME TO CLAIM THE UNITY

2034
01:46:11,267 --> 01:46:14,600
OUR OUTMODED SOCIAL SYSTEMS
HAVE BROKEN APART

2035
01:46:14,633 --> 01:46:18,733
AND WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE
A SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL SOCIETY

2036
01:46:18,767 --> 01:46:23,167
WHERE EVERYONE IS TAKEN CARE OF
AND EVERYONE IS TRULY FREE.

2037
01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:26,900
YOUR PERSONAL BELIEFS, WHATEVER
THEY MAY BE, ARE MEANINGLESS

2038
01:46:26,933 --> 01:46:29,333
WHEN IT COMES
TO THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE.

2039
01:46:29,367 --> 01:46:31,500
EVERY HUMAN BEING IS BORN NAKED,

2040
01:46:31,533 --> 01:46:35,100
NEEDING WARMTH, FOOD,
WATER, SHELTER.

2041
01:46:35,133 --> 01:46:37,200
EVERYTHING ELSE IS AUXILIARY.

2042
01:46:37,233 --> 01:46:39,467
THEREFORE,
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE AT HAND

2043
01:46:39,500 --> 01:46:43,700
IS THE INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT
OF THE EARTH'S RESOURCES.

2044
01:46:43,733 --> 01:46:46,567
THIS CAN NEVER BE ACCOMPLISHED
IN A MONETARY SYSTEM,

2045
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:49,933
FOR THE PURSUIT OF PROFIT
IS THE PURSUIT OF SELF-INTEREST,

2046
01:46:49,967 --> 01:46:53,233
AND THEREFORE,
IMBALANCE IS INHERENT.

2047
01:46:53,267 --> 01:46:56,767
SIMULTANEOUSLY,
POLITICIANS ARE USELESS,

2048
01:46:56,800 --> 01:47:01,833
FOR OUR TRUE PROBLEMS IN LIFE
ARE TECHNICAL, NOT POLITICAL.

2049
01:47:01,867 --> 01:47:04,767
FURTHERMORE, IDEOLOGIES
THAT SEPARATE HUMANITY,

2050
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:08,400
SUCH AS RELIGION, NEED STRONG
REFLECTION IN THE COMMUNITY

2051
01:47:08,433 --> 01:47:12,367
IN REGARD TO ITS VALUE,
PURPOSE, AND SOCIAL RELEVANCY.

2052
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,300
HOPEFULLY, THROUGH TIME,

2053
01:47:14,333 --> 01:47:16,133
RELIGION WILL LOSE
ITS MATERIALISM

2054
01:47:16,167 --> 01:47:17,900
AND BASIS IN SUPERSTITION

2055
01:47:17,933 --> 01:47:21,567
AND MOVE INTO THE USEFUL FIELD
OF PHILOSOPHY.

2056
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:24,100
THE FACT IS,
SOCIETY TODAY IS BACKWARDS,

2057
01:47:24,133 --> 01:47:25,467
WITH POLITICIANS

2058
01:47:25,500 --> 01:47:28,367
CONSTANTLY TALKING
ABOUT PROTECTION AND SECURITY

2059
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:32,467
RATHER THAN CREATION,
UNITY, AND PROGRESS.

2060
01:47:32,500 --> 01:47:33,767
THE U.S. ALONE

2061
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:37,633
NOW SPENDS ABOUT $500 BILLION
ANNUALLY ON DEFENSE.

2062
01:47:37,667 --> 01:47:40,900
THAT IS ENOUGH TO SEND EVERY
HIGH-SCHOOL SENIOR IN AMERICA

2063
01:47:40,933 --> 01:47:43,333
TO A FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE.

2064
01:47:43,367 --> 01:47:45,700
IN THE 1940s,
THE MANHATTAN PROJECT

2065
01:47:45,733 --> 01:47:49,033
PRODUCED THE FIRST TRUE WEAPON
OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

2066
01:47:49,067 --> 01:47:53,067
THIS PROGRAM
EMPLOYED 130,000 PEOPLE

2067
01:47:53,100 --> 01:47:55,367
AT AN EXTREME FINANCIAL COST.

2068
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:57,867
IMAGINE WHAT OUR LIFE
WOULD BE LIKE TODAY

2069
01:47:57,900 --> 01:47:59,933
IF THAT GROUP OF SCIENTISTS,

2070
01:47:59,967 --> 01:48:02,900
INSTEAD OF WORKING
ON A WAY OF KILLING PEOPLE,

2071
01:48:02,933 --> 01:48:07,133
WORKED ON A WAY TO CREATE A
SELF-SUSTAINING, ABUNDANT WORLD.

2072
01:48:07,167 --> 01:48:10,067
LIFE TODAY
WOULD BE VERY, VERY DIFFERENT

2073
01:48:10,100 --> 01:48:11,800
IF THAT WAS THEIR GOAL.

2074
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,333
INSTEAD OF WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION,

2075
01:48:16,367 --> 01:48:20,833
IT IS TIME TO UNLEASH
SOMETHING MUCH MORE POWERFUL --

2076
01:48:20,867 --> 01:48:23,633
WEAPONS OF MASS CREATION.

2077
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,867
OUR TRUE DIVINITY
IS IN OUR ABILITY TO CREATE,

2078
01:48:27,900 --> 01:48:29,700
AND ARMED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING

2079
01:48:29,733 --> 01:48:32,400
OF THE SYMBIOTIC CONNECTIONS
OF LIFE

2080
01:48:32,433 --> 01:48:36,167
WHILE BEING GUIDED BY
THE EMERGENT NATURE OF REALITY,

2081
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:39,600
THERE IS NOTHING
WE CANNOT DO OR ACCOMPLISH.

2082
01:48:41,033 --> 01:48:43,667
OF COURSE,
WE FACE STRONG BARRIERS

2083
01:48:43,700 --> 01:48:45,700
IN THE FORM
OF ESTABLISHED POWER STRUCTURES

2084
01:48:45,733 --> 01:48:48,700
THAT REFUSE TO CHANGE.

2085
01:48:48,733 --> 01:48:51,433
AT THE HEART OF THESE STRUCTURES
IS THE MONETARY SYSTEM.

2086
01:48:51,467 --> 01:48:54,033
AS EXPLAINED EARLIER,
THE FRACTIONAL RESERVE POLICY

2087
01:48:54,067 --> 01:48:56,267
IS A FORM OF SLAVERY
THROUGH DEBT,

2088
01:48:56,300 --> 01:49:00,567
WHERE IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR SOCIETY TO BE FREE.

2089
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:03,800
IN TURN, FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM
IN THE FORM OF FREE TRADE

2090
01:49:03,833 --> 01:49:06,033
USES DEBT TO IMPRISON THE WORLD

2091
01:49:06,067 --> 01:49:08,533
AND MANIPULATE COUNTRIES
INTO SUBSERVIENCE

2092
01:49:08,567 --> 01:49:11,767
TO A HANDFUL OF LARGE BUSINESS
AND POLITICAL POWERS.

2093
01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:14,200
APART FROM
THESE OBVIOUS AMORALITIES,

2094
01:49:14,233 --> 01:49:17,000
THE SYSTEM ITSELF
IS BASED ON COMPETITION,

2095
01:49:17,033 --> 01:49:19,533
WHICH IMMEDIATELY DESTROYS
THE POSSIBILITY

2096
01:49:19,567 --> 01:49:22,933
OF LARGE-SCALE COLLABORATIONS
FOR THE COMMON GOOD,

2097
01:49:22,967 --> 01:49:25,033
HENCE PARALYZING ANY ATTEMPT

2098
01:49:25,067 --> 01:49:29,200
AT TRUE GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY.

2099
01:49:29,233 --> 01:49:32,933
THESE FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE
STRUCTURES ARE NOW OBSOLETE,

2100
01:49:32,967 --> 01:49:35,667
AND THEY MUST BE OUTGROWN.

2101
01:49:35,700 --> 01:49:37,700
OF COURSE,
WE CANNOT BE NAIVE ENOUGH

2102
01:49:37,733 --> 01:49:39,467
TO THINK THAT THE BUSINESS
AND THE FINANCIAL ELITE

2103
01:49:39,500 --> 01:49:41,200
ARE GOING TO SUBSCRIBE
TO THIS IDEA,

2104
01:49:41,233 --> 01:49:43,267
FOR THEY WILL LOSE
POWER AND CONTROL.

2105
01:49:43,300 --> 01:49:48,033
THEREFORE, PEACEFULLY, A HIGHLY
STRATEGIC ACTION MUST BE TAKEN.

2106
01:49:48,067 --> 01:49:50,867
THE MOST POWERFUL COURSE
OF ACTION IS SIMPLE --

2107
01:49:50,900 --> 01:49:52,800
WE HAVE TO ALTER OUR BEHAVIOR

2108
01:49:52,833 --> 01:49:57,467
TO FORCE THE POWER STRUCTURE
TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

2109
01:49:57,500 --> 01:50:01,467
WE MUST STOP SUPPORTING
THE SYSTEM.

2110
01:50:01,500 --> 01:50:03,900
THE ONLY WAY
THE ESTABLISHMENT WILL CHANGE

2111
01:50:03,933 --> 01:50:06,133
IS BY OUR REFUSAL
TO PARTICIPATE,

2112
01:50:06,167 --> 01:50:07,700
WHILE CONTINUOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGING

2113
01:50:07,733 --> 01:50:10,800
ITS ENDLESS FLAWS
AND CORRUPTIONS.

2114
01:50:10,833 --> 01:50:13,933
-THEY'RE NOT GONNA GIVE UP
THE MONETARY SYSTEM

2115
01:50:13,967 --> 01:50:17,533
BECAUSE OF OUR DESIGNS
OR WHAT WE RECOMMEND.

2116
01:50:17,567 --> 01:50:19,600
THE SYSTEM HAS TO FAIL,

2117
01:50:19,633 --> 01:50:22,300
AND PEOPLE
HAVE TO LOSE CONFIDENCE

2118
01:50:22,333 --> 01:50:24,500
IN THEIR ELECTED LEADERS.

2119
01:50:24,533 --> 01:50:26,867
THAT WILL BE
A MAJOR TURNING POINT,

2120
01:50:26,900 --> 01:50:31,700
IF THE VENUS PROJECT IS OFFERED
AS A POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE.

2121
01:50:31,733 --> 01:50:34,833
IF NOT, I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES.

2122
01:50:34,867 --> 01:50:39,967
THE TRENDS NOW INDICATE THAT
OUR COUNTRY IS GOING BANKRUPT.

2123
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:41,567
THE PROBABILITY IS,

2124
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:45,400
OUR COUNTRY MOVES
TOWARD A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP

2125
01:50:45,433 --> 01:50:49,633
TO PREVENT RIOTS
AND COMPLETE SOCIAL BREAKDOWN.

2126
01:50:49,667 --> 01:50:51,333
ONCE THE U.S. BREAKS DOWN,

2127
01:50:51,367 --> 01:50:55,100
ALL THE OTHER CULTURES
WILL UNDERGO SIMILAR THINGS.

2128
01:50:55,133 --> 01:50:57,967
-AS OF NOW,
THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM

2129
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:01,967
IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE
DUE TO ITS OWN SHORTCOMINGS.

2130
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:03,467
THE COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY

2131
01:51:03,500 --> 01:51:07,333
STATED IN 2003 THAT THE INTEREST
ON THE U.S. NATIONAL DEBT

2132
01:51:07,367 --> 01:51:10,567
WILL NOT BE AFFORDABLE
IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS.

2133
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:14,067
THIS THEORETICALLY MEANS TOTAL
BANKRUPTCY FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY,

2134
01:51:14,100 --> 01:51:16,833
AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
FOR THE WORLD ARE IMMENSE.

2135
01:51:16,867 --> 01:51:20,000
IN TURN, THE FRACTIONAL-RESERVE-
BASED MONETARY SYSTEM

2136
01:51:20,033 --> 01:51:22,667
IS REACHING ITS THEORETICAL
LIMITS OF EXPANSION,

2137
01:51:22,700 --> 01:51:26,533
AND THE BANKING FAILURES YOU ARE
SEEING ARE JUST THE BEGINNING.

2138
01:51:26,567 --> 01:51:29,333
THIS IS WHY INFLATION
IS SKYROCKETING,

2139
01:51:29,367 --> 01:51:31,233
ALL DEBT IS AT RECORD LEVELS,

2140
01:51:31,267 --> 01:51:32,733
AND THE GOVERNMENT AND FED

2141
01:51:32,767 --> 01:51:35,933
ARE HEMORRHAGING NEW MONEY
TO BAIL OUT THE CORRUPT SYSTEM,

2142
01:51:35,967 --> 01:51:38,300
FOR THE ONLY WAY
TO KEEP THE BANKS GOING

2143
01:51:38,333 --> 01:51:39,900
IS BY MAKING MORE MONEY.

2144
01:51:39,933 --> 01:51:41,633
THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

2145
01:51:41,667 --> 01:51:44,167
IS TO CREATE
MORE DEBT AND INFLATION.

2146
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:47,100
IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE THE TABLES TURN,

2147
01:51:47,133 --> 01:51:50,033
AND THERE IS NO ONE
WILLING TO TAKE NEW LOANS,

2148
01:51:50,067 --> 01:51:51,400
WHILE DEFAULTS GROW

2149
01:51:51,433 --> 01:51:54,600
AS PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD
THEIR CURRENT LOANS.

2150
01:51:54,633 --> 01:51:56,600
THEN, THE EXPANSION OF MONEY
WILL STOP,

2151
01:51:56,633 --> 01:52:00,500
AND CONTRACTION WILL BEGIN
ON A SCALE NEVER BEFORE SEEN,

2152
01:52:00,533 --> 01:52:04,300
ENDING
A CENTURY-LONG PYRAMID SCHEME.

2153
01:52:04,333 --> 01:52:07,200
THIS HAS ALREADY BEGUN.

2154
01:52:07,233 --> 01:52:09,767
THEREFORE, WE NEED TO EXPOSE
THIS FINANCIAL FAILURE

2155
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:13,333
FOR WHAT IT IS, USING THIS
WEAKNESS TO OUR ADVANTAGE.

2156
01:52:13,367 --> 01:52:15,267
HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS.

2157
01:52:15,300 --> 01:52:17,800
EXPOSE THE BANKING FRAUD.

2158
01:52:17,833 --> 01:52:21,333
CITIBANK, J.P. MORGAN CHASE,
AND BANK OF AMERICA

2159
01:52:21,367 --> 01:52:23,133
ARE THE MOST POWERFUL
CONTROLLERS

2160
01:52:23,167 --> 01:52:26,133
WITHIN THE CORRUPT
FEDERAL-RESERVE SYSTEM.

2161
01:52:26,167 --> 01:52:29,167
IT'S TIME TO BOYCOTT
THESE INSTITUTIONS.

2162
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:32,500
IF YOU HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT OR
A CREDIT CARD WITH ANY OF THEM,

2163
01:52:32,533 --> 01:52:34,900
MOVE YOUR MONEY TO ANOTHER BANK.

2164
01:52:34,933 --> 01:52:38,267
IF YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE,
REFINANCE WITH ANOTHER BANK.

2165
01:52:38,300 --> 01:52:40,600
IF YOU OWN THEIR STOCK, SELL IT.

2166
01:52:40,633 --> 01:52:42,500
IF YOU WORK FOR THEM, QUIT.

2167
01:52:42,533 --> 01:52:45,667
THIS GESTURE WILL EXPRESS
CONTEMPT FOR THE TRUE POWERS

2168
01:52:45,700 --> 01:52:47,767
BEHIND
THE PRIVATE BANKING CARTEL

2169
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,967
KNOWN AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE

2170
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:51,367
AND CREATE AWARENESS

2171
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:54,267
ABOUT THE FRAUD
OF THE BANKING SYSTEM ITSELF.

2172
01:52:54,300 --> 01:52:56,767
TWO -- TURN OFF THE TV NEWS.

2173
01:52:56,800 --> 01:53:00,567
VISIT THE EMERGING INDEPENDENT
NEWS AGENCIES ON THE INTERNET

2174
01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:02,033
FOR YOUR INFORMATION.

2175
01:53:02,067 --> 01:53:06,233
CNN, NBC, ABC, FOX,
AND ALL THE OTHERS

2176
01:53:06,267 --> 01:53:10,933
PRESENT ALL NEWS PRE-FILTERED
TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO.

2177
01:53:10,967 --> 01:53:14,400
WITH FOUR CORPORATIONS
OWNING ALL MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS,

2178
01:53:14,433 --> 01:53:17,133
OBJECTIVE INFORMATION
IS IMPOSSIBLE.

2179
01:53:17,167 --> 01:53:19,433
THIS IS THE TRUE BEAUTY
OF THE INTERNET,

2180
01:53:19,467 --> 01:53:21,700
AND THE ESTABLISHMENT
HAS BEEN LOSING CONTROL

2181
01:53:21,733 --> 01:53:24,300
BECAUSE OF THIS FREE FLOW
OF INFORMATION.

2182
01:53:24,333 --> 01:53:27,067
WE MUST PROTECT THE INTERNET
AT ALL TIMES

2183
01:53:27,100 --> 01:53:30,567
AS IT IS TRULY OUR SAVIOR
RIGHT NOW.

2184
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:35,167
THREE -- DON'T EVER ALLOW
YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY,

2185
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:41,133
OR ANYONE YOU KNOW
TO EVER JOIN THE MILITARY.

2186
01:53:41,167 --> 01:53:45,067
THIS IS AN OBSOLETE INSTITUTION
NOW USED EXCLUSIVELY

2187
01:53:45,100 --> 01:53:48,733
FOR MAINTAINING AN ESTABLISHMENT
THAT IS NO LONGER RELEVANT.

2188
01:53:48,767 --> 01:53:51,900
U.S. SOLDIERS IN IRAQ
WORK FOR U.S. CORPORATIONS,

2189
01:53:51,933 --> 01:53:53,233
NOT THE PEOPLE.

2190
01:53:53,267 --> 01:53:56,200
PROPAGANDA FORCES US TO BELIEVE
THAT WAR IS NATURAL

2191
01:53:56,233 --> 01:53:59,300
AND THE MILITARY
IS AN HONORABLE INSTITUTION.

2192
01:53:59,333 --> 01:54:00,867
WELL, IF WAR IS NATURAL,

2193
01:54:00,900 --> 01:54:04,100
WHY ARE THERE 18 SUICIDES
EVERY SINGLE DAY

2194
01:54:04,133 --> 01:54:08,333
BY AMERICAN VETERANS WHO HAVE
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER?

2195
01:54:08,367 --> 01:54:11,000
IF OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN
ARE SO HONORED,

2196
01:54:11,033 --> 01:54:15,133
WHY IS IT THAT 25% OF
THE AMERICAN HOMELESS POPULATION

2197
01:54:15,167 --> 01:54:17,500
ARE VETERANS?

2198
01:54:17,533 --> 01:54:21,267
FOUR -- STOP SUPPORTING
THE ENERGY COMPANIES.

2199
01:54:21,300 --> 01:54:24,500
IF YOU LIVE IN A DETACHED HOUSE,
GET OFF THE GRID.

2200
01:54:24,533 --> 01:54:25,933
INVESTIGATE EVERY MEANS

2201
01:54:25,967 --> 01:54:27,933
OF MAKING YOUR HOME
SELF-SUSTAINABLE

2202
01:54:27,967 --> 01:54:29,700
WITH CLEAN ENERGY.

2203
01:54:29,733 --> 01:54:32,500
SOLAR, WIND,
AND OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGIES

2204
01:54:32,533 --> 01:54:35,100
ARE NOW
AFFORDABLE CONSUMER REALITIES.

2205
01:54:35,133 --> 01:54:37,467
AND CONSIDERING
THE NEVER-ENDING RISING COST

2206
01:54:37,500 --> 01:54:38,767
OF TRADITIONAL ENERGIES,

2207
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,833
IT WILL LIKELY BE
A CHEAPER INVESTMENT OVER TIME.

2208
01:54:41,867 --> 01:54:44,833
IF YOU DRIVE,
GET THE SMALLEST CAR YOU CAN

2209
01:54:44,867 --> 01:54:48,033
AND CONSIDER USING ONE OF
THE MANY CONVERSION TECHNOLOGIES

2210
01:54:48,067 --> 01:54:51,000
THAT CAN ENABLE YOUR CAR
TO BE A HYBRID, ELECTRIC,

2211
01:54:51,033 --> 01:54:55,033
OR RUN ON ANYTHING
OTHER THAN ESTABLISHMENT FUELS.

2212
01:54:55,067 --> 01:54:57,767
FIVE --
REJECT THE POLITICAL SYSTEM.

2213
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:01,500
THE ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY IS
AN INSULT TO OUR INTELLIGENCE.

2214
01:55:01,533 --> 01:55:03,033
IN A MONETARY SYSTEM,

2215
01:55:03,067 --> 01:55:05,733
THERE IS NO SUCH THING
AS A TRUE DEMOCRACY,

2216
01:55:05,767 --> 01:55:07,700
AND THERE NEVER WAS.

2217
01:55:07,733 --> 01:55:09,233
WE HAVE TWO POLITICAL PARTIES

2218
01:55:09,267 --> 01:55:12,733
OWNED BY THE SAME SET
OF CORPORATE LOBBYISTS.

2219
01:55:12,767 --> 01:55:15,600
THEY ARE PLACED IN THEIR
POSITIONS BY THE CORPORATIONS

2220
01:55:15,633 --> 01:55:19,000
WITH POPULARITY ARTIFICIALLY
PROJECTED BY THEIR MEDIA.

2221
01:55:19,033 --> 01:55:21,800
IN A SYSTEM
OF INHERENT CORRUPTION,

2222
01:55:21,833 --> 01:55:24,100
THE CHANGE OF PERSONNEL
EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS

2223
01:55:24,133 --> 01:55:26,133
HAS VERY LITTLE RELEVANCE.

2224
01:55:26,167 --> 01:55:27,367
INSTEAD OF PRETENDING

2225
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,767
THAT THE POLITICAL GAME
HAS ANY TRUE MEANING,

2226
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:34,067
FOCUS YOUR ENERGY ON HOW
TO TRANSCEND THIS FAILED SYSTEM.

2227
01:55:35,667 --> 01:55:38,567
AND, SIX -- JOIN THE MOVEMENT.

2228
01:55:38,600 --> 01:55:41,200
GO TO thezeitgeistmovement.com

2229
01:55:41,233 --> 01:55:44,533
AND HELP US CREATE THE LARGEST
MASS MOVEMENT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

2230
01:55:44,567 --> 01:55:46,967
THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

2231
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:49,433
WE MUST MOBILIZE
AND EDUCATE EVERYONE

2232
01:55:49,467 --> 01:55:52,767
ABOUT THE INHERENT CORRUPTION
OF OUR CURRENT WORLD SYSTEM,

2233
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:56,100
ALONG WITH THE ONLY TRUE
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION --

2234
01:55:56,133 --> 01:55:58,967
DECLARING ALL THE NATURAL
RESOURCES ON THE PLANET

2235
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,433
AS COMMON HERITAGE
TO ALL PEOPLE,

2236
01:56:02,467 --> 01:56:06,000
WHILE INFORMING EVERYONE AS
TO THE TRUE STATE OF TECHNOLOGY

2237
01:56:06,033 --> 01:56:09,900
AND HOW WE CAN ALL BE FREE
IF THE WORLD WORKS TOGETHER

2238
01:56:09,933 --> 01:56:12,100
RATHER THAN FIGHTS.

2239
01:56:12,133 --> 01:56:14,200
THE CHOICE LIES WITH YOU.

2240
01:56:14,233 --> 01:56:16,967
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO BE A SLAVE
TO THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM

2241
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,667
AND WATCH THE CONTINUOUS WARS,
DEPRESSIONS, AND INJUSTICE

2242
01:56:20,700 --> 01:56:21,700
ACROSS THE GLOBE

2243
01:56:21,733 --> 01:56:23,067
WHILE PLACATING YOURSELF

2244
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:26,767
WITH VAIN ENTERTAINMENT
AND MATERIALISTIC GARBAGE,

2245
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:28,700
OR YOU CAN FOCUS YOUR ENERGY

2246
01:56:28,733 --> 01:56:31,900
ON TRUE, MEANINGFUL,
LASTING, HOLISTIC CHANGE

2247
01:56:31,933 --> 01:56:34,633
WHICH ACTUALLY HAS
THE REALISTIC ABILITY

2248
01:56:34,667 --> 01:56:40,533
TO SUPPORT AND FREE ALL HUMANS
WITH NO ONE LEFT BEHIND.

2249
01:56:40,567 --> 01:56:42,233
BUT IN THE END,

2250
01:56:42,267 --> 01:56:47,433
THE MOST RELEVANT CHANGE
MUST OCCUR FIRST INSIDE OF YOU.

2251
01:56:47,467 --> 01:56:51,767
THE REAL REVOLUTION IS
THE REVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS,

2252
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:53,167
AND EACH ONE OF US

2253
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:57,733
FIRST NEEDS TO ELIMINATE THE
DIVISIONARY, MATERIALISTIC NOISE

2254
01:56:57,767 --> 01:57:01,300
WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED
TO THINK IS TRUE

2255
01:57:01,333 --> 01:57:06,033
WHILE DISCOVERING, AMPLIFYING,
AND ALIGNING WITH THE SIGNAL

2256
01:57:06,067 --> 01:57:11,000
COMING FROM
OUR TRUE EMPIRICAL ONENESS.

2257
01:57:11,033 --> 01:57:13,033
IT IS UP TO YOU.

2258
01:57:15,067 --> 01:57:20,533
-WHAT WE ARE TRYING IN ALL
THESE DISCUSSIONS AND TALKS HERE

2259
01:57:20,567 --> 01:57:25,167
IS TO SEE IF WE CANNOT RADICALLY
BRING ABOUT A TRANSFORMATION

2260
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:28,133
OF THE MIND.

2261
01:57:28,167 --> 01:57:30,400
NOT ACCEPT THINGS AS THEY ARE...

2262
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:37,000
...BUT TO UNDERSTAND IT,
TO GO INTO IT, TO EXAMINE IT.

2263
01:57:37,033 --> 01:57:40,433
GIVE YOUR HEART AND YOUR MIND
WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE

2264
01:57:40,467 --> 01:57:43,700
TO FIND OUT
THE WAY OF LIVING DIFFERENTLY.

2265
01:57:48,433 --> 01:57:53,167
BUT THAT DEPENDS ON YOU
AND NOT SOMEBODY ELSE...

2266
01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:57,633
BECAUSE IN THIS,
THERE'S NO TEACHER, NO PUPIL.

2267
01:57:57,667 --> 01:58:00,133
THERE'S NO LEADER.

2268
01:58:00,167 --> 01:58:01,933
THERE'S NO GURU.

2269
01:58:01,967 --> 01:58:03,767
THERE'S NO MASTER, NO SAVIOR.

2270
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:06,267
YOU YOURSELF
ARE THE TEACHER AND THE PUPIL.

2271
01:58:06,300 --> 01:58:08,100
YOU'RE THE MASTER.
YOU ARE THE GURU.

2272
01:58:08,133 --> 01:58:09,833
YOU ARE THE LEADER.

2273
01:58:09,867 --> 01:58:12,367
YOU ARE EVERYTHING.

2274
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:14,467
AND...

2275
01:58:14,500 --> 01:58:19,633
TO UNDERSTAND
IS TO TRANSFORM WHAT IS.
