have discovered a cabin on a stretch of beach isolated by woods on private property the owners don't mind if responsible people and enjoy the place their granddad built the cabin in the one nine hundred forty eight i come here to clear my mind to focus my specific problems which bother me in my life time in my sixty one years i have noticed many problems in the way we do things where government works and does not work the way our system of economics works and does not work my conclusion is this our current form of democracy is not democracy at all it isn't all that darky government by the rich for the rich especially for the super rich we all work for or a newly minted multi billionaires in this set up the only way big change can happen is when millions of people want it to happen when millions of people understand the problem and see it workable solution no workable solutions will come with the personality of political leaders we have had enough personality cult leaders as presidents are supreme leader our donald trump has proven many of us can become the most of us are smart enough not to let it happen twice what we need is some clear thinking car truck manufacturers do not intend to tell you the truth when it gets in the way of making money and those are the advertisers who pay for most of the news we see and hear what we really need are sources of accurate information brought to us by people with no hidden agendas the new york times is not impartial and unbiased it has a sled publications to the t v show democracy now is one good example of what we know and they do not get the story right but they get closer to the truth than what we get on major news broadcasts and closer to the truth than many other sources of information at least they tried if we had another four or five t v channels presenting news and information with high standards of truth we could make better decisions we could make better plans for the future of our democracy the truth is it really is possible to  a form of democracy which could last a lot longer than ours ours has only been around just over three hundred years we have better technology and more wealth and more knowledge than any previous civilization and if we use those things well we would not need slaves nobody would need to be an economic slave we can have freedom of choice and quality of life for all citizens but one percenters will still have more stuff than everybody else and they can still continue to brag about their stuff to each other but we can create a system of politics and a system of economics which is not rigged in favor of the one percent i might suggest any group of one percenters who really want to make a positive difference and make money while they are making a positive difference should start up some t v news channels in collaboration with the new york times with atlantic monthly or with the washington post groups and broadcast sources of nerves with people who are already good at presenting complete and accurate information millions of people would respond to those broadcasts they would all notice the difference between those broadcasts and fox news and c n n and other crap that asses for a noose and that new audience would mean millions of dollars in profits for the people who own the move t v channels the new channels would have a completely different reporting style from our currently over dramatic sun but loving emotion driven newscasts even a b c n b c and c b s are emotion driven we've got to get the audience we've got to grab them by the collar and shrink it we need news anchors more like an honest grandfather and less like a bipolar actress on ecstasy we the people three hundred sixty million of us can have a real democracy with real trees there isn't and really improvements in our lives only if we stop going along with the current set up the ants can remove  the one percenters in charge of the mtu is in charge of national and multinational corporations will be forced to adapt to our mates rather than all of us adapting our lives to their agendas fifty percent or more of us lived in rural america we would not have long commutes were over the moon real estate prices for fifty percent or more of us could walk to work if we created millions of drives in rural america the primary goal of capitalism in the form of capitalism we currently have the primary goal is to create and sustain and expand the wealth of multibillionaires that's right there is no larger grow there is no girl to make our civilization a better so those ration the goal is to make rich people a lot richer we can tell ourselves we have other more noble genders but reality says otherwise are tens of thousands of homeless people say otherwise poor people millions of them globally remain poor and the source of slave labor our current system of economics nationally and globally does not aspire to create jobs for everyone the goal is to keep a large population of poor people to use as economic slaves that is the actual agenda of the one percenters in our united states the labels on our clothing tell a large part of the story made in cambodia made in vietnam made in china made in india made in bolivia and they have an herb way or we're really not smart enough to make our own clothes and they've our own shoes at reasonable prices in our own country there are thousands of people in the u s will be glad to have jobs making clothes and making shoes we do not need to buy clothes mas places that set up is with invention of our one percenters seeing a way to make a billion or two it is possible for us to wear clothes produced by men and women who live in our own towns in our own can easily build self sustaining economies in rural america by making our own stuff in this cabin in this quiet peaceful place with sega and river otters around me all of them with more freedom than most people in this place i want to discuss what we can do with our democracy our democracy seems to have tanked after above the run of three hundred years versus what we've got our house and senate proved beyond any reasonable doubt our current form of democracy is a dead horse and it's not just because the guys who wrote senators and representatives who are over seventy years of thinking about options how to revive a dead horse or ride a completely new horse what annoys me most about our democratic and republican parties is their lack of tangible results most everything is a con job to solicit votes to get reelected to convince us mr that leader this or that party will save the day the end results are often spending billions of dollars and accomplishing nothing at all you can't make a sort of curse or massage or our leaders want us to b can all have so purses a chicken in every pub except for vegetarians they get brussels sprouts and cauliflower currents our current national leaders are so locked in to party agendas th proclamation having little to do with any actual truth having nothing to do with any piece of legislation which would really improve our lives in any way such proclamations most everything party leaders say in public are attempts to create an alternate reality in which the political leaders are free to pursue whatever agenda makes them the most money which means making the most money where their biggest campaign contributors we the people three hundred sixty million of us are not encouraged to have independent thoughts or encourage to listen to any unauthorized independent sources of news or facts in the invented money backed alternate reality we're all supposed to do what we were told all the time we're all supposed to think what we are told to think all the time we are told there is only one reality and that's the alternate reality the official approved version of reality and when actual reality conflicts with the authorized version we're not supposed to notice we're supposed to keep our mouths shut we're not encouraged to think about actual reality or even attempt to learn about actual reality we're encouraged to belittle but we are told we're encouraged to believe that our slave economy are slow civilization is the only possible way to run a civilization and the only possible way to conduct international and national groups in this i would like to propose my own alternate reality readers and listeners may choose which version of reality best serves  needs since we are so fond of those loans i will call my alternate reality self reliant capitalism let's imagine a new way of doing things here in the united states of america imagine a way of life which could last a thousand years or longer and offer more freedom to more people than any of our obsolete prisons socialism capitalism communism unlike all the previous isms the transition to suffer capitalism would require no military reverse no violence and no dead bodies no civil wars no protests in the streets collective imaginations and work together both groups motivated by soft interest groups with clearly defined intentions were last have a chance for tangible results tangible lasting results which would create a self sustaining civilization a form of democracy and capitalism which would last longer than anything we've seen three hundred years it's not the best we can do with the basic idea of national democracy we have to give up the early way of doing things and the limitations of those ways of doing things and start something else we would also give up some of the benefits of the road race fewer people with lower in the near large cities the current economic structure and politics of our large cities would cease to exist that is asking a lot of the billionaires who currently enjoy the economics and politics of large cities people who currently have good jobs and large cities might need to reconsider that way of life with some good planning and with good preparation everyone will benefit from the end results the new tangible results from capitalism would require one percenters to stop investing in global assets and multinational corporations those billions of dollars would be invested in rural america investing in thousands of small towns across the entire country the first being to create businesses and small towns to make each town county and region economically self reliant that is most all products and services used by people in those most businesses could be both on a plan like that we don't need wal mart we don't need costco we don't even need amazon dot com cars trucks laptops and some other devices would still need to be mass produced elsewhere in order to be vertical those vehicles could be adapted for local use that is the cars and trucks would run on ethanol or batteries both being produced locally likewise other products could be designed to be software like that no longer requiring corporate controlled upgrades those first upgrades as we now have with microsoft when they first users to upgrade to microsoft's software which messes up their laptops and messes up the other software they already have on their computer open source software is the best way to move forward in a mass market technology the idea of centralized control over any product or service would become obsolete garbage collection and bremerton would not be done by a corporation in los angeles all the products in the universe would not float around us on dot com no corporation would ever again have authoritarian control over the products which routes really ins of customers and suck the money for millions of local economies all mass produced products the laptops cars the microwaves would be manufactured in centralized locations perhaps by large corporations but those products themselves would be designed to be serviced and sold in local economies ninety percent of all the cash would remain in local large corporations with continue to mass produce items which could not be efficiently produced in most local economies but the corporations would now serve the local economies rather than local economies serving multi national and national corporations in return listen closely with us one percenters in return the one percenters who own and run corporations with now the major investors and thousands of local economies the people who have designed and so suffering line products and services those people will now be the heroes they will be the heroes and set of the thieves the wealthy benefactors of self reliant capitalism will take five percent right off the top of all congress within the local economies five percent off the top for ever what could be more pleasing to a multimillionaire where all the shareholders of large corporations that a five percent return for ever and we're talking about a huge return a major portion of the g d p of the united states of america so by giving out just a little bit of dictatorial control over the economy the one percenters will get the benefits of stable profits and also be social heroes people to have mire rather than people to hate people who can make billions of dollars without lying or cheating or by selling dangerous drugs or by causing destruction to the environment in this set up of self relian capitalism national economic activity ownership of real estate and congress are already centralized this extends to other things we might not think about we will no longer have mcdonald's owning twenty eight billion dollars in real estate with dictatorial control over fourteen thousand restaurants because they own the land under the restaurants locally owned restaurants could be easily replace own their own land which would create local cash cash flow which all stays in the local economy self reliant capitalism would create millions of jobs in rural america allowing lower income and middle income families to leave the major cities that have a higher quality of life with lower expenses and much lower stress than they ever had before the upper middle class and the upper class well they can stand the cities if they want the shift in demographics would permanently change voting districts this would be centralized our democracy as well as decentralizing our economy the voters and metro areas the voters and densely populated counties would no longer force their majority will on everyone else so now we're talking about the cabin of our imagination we need to be able to imagine this before it can happen we need to be able to believe this is a workable solution a tangible result in the cabin of our imagination in the cabin of our free will in the cabin of desire we create our own reality recreate the optimal conditions prefers a closer arrival and cover we create the optimal conditions for joy for love for creative action we create the optimal conditions for sharing joy and love and creative action when we allow the slave masters to define our lives to build our cabins and tell us what to do in our cabins know our inherent needs are inherent human right to free  and free self definition this is exactly what we have what we have allowed to happen in the twentieth and twenty first centuries in the united states of america we don't own our cabins we don't do what we want in our cabins we don't have free will to build our own cabinets and do what we want inside our own cabins the cabin of our imagination is so often limited by cable television and the internet we create and perpetuate various forms of economic slavery and we individually choose to participate in those forms of slavery tens of millions of us acquiesce every day to the citizens of boss it's decisions which make our lives miserable decisions with serve the slave masters and do nothing worthwhile nothing worthwhile at all for the slaves these decisions reality in significant ways their existence reality is remarkably suffer let our exist in reality can be remarkably self reliant but we need to build our own cabinets unlike our self destructive ego systems where ecosystems need no slaves in many places where have the good sense to preserve natural ecosystems and reverse the damage we have caused to those ecosystems in most places we have not reverse the damage we've caused and continue to cause to our own human ecosystems to our own psychology to our own economy to our own political systems we continue to support the destructive the self destructive behavior in human ecosystems we continue to tell ourselves our invention to grow systems well  grade running like a well oiled machine as our great leader donald trump has said on many suffer congratulatory occasions whatever else i say about donald trump i will give him credit for brilliance and humor in singapore he looked at the beautiful beaches of north korea and said would it be fabulous to have a string the hotel is out there instead of using those beaches for cannon practice his view as an owner of grand hotels is refreshing it's practical it's just what is needed in north korea at this moment are self deceptions are the most obvious cause of human suffering nature with hurricanes floods earthquakes tornadoes avalanches well cato's for aspires and droughts cause less human suffering than people caused to each other the suffering we inflict upon each other is caused by or defective use of reality our limited use our limited imaginations it's caused by the one percent or view the alternate reality when we accept the one percenter alternate reality we inflict suffering on each other millions of us accept the reality and of to aspire ancestors and to to us by current one percenters in charge of governments in charge  science and technology in charge of education and religion we accept the narrow so destructive views of the realities of failed political and economic systems as they were handed to us we limit our capacity for free will and thought whenever we accept failed views really limit our imaginations making the creation of better ways of doing things nearly impossible we cannot create an alternate reality and actual improved reality if we do not believe those realities are possible in my cabin of imagination we still have free will hundreds of millions of us still have free will to collectively create an improved version of our civilization a version which will last longer than our tiny and below three hundred euro democracy a civilization which will not require mass slavery or mass suffering or piles of dead bodies
