what have you done today to make the world a better place if you have children have you ask them that question do you ask them that question every night at dinner knowledge is one great way to make the world a better place every purchase you make supports something you can either support a large business that exploits people animals and the environment where you can set a local organic or fair trade it's hard to change th especially if you're used to shopping for bargains but try changing just a few of your purchases to make each purchase a deliberate vote for the good of everyone involved for the good of the people making the product and everyone involved in bringing that product to your door distribution can be as corrupt as any other large form of business whether we buy bananas or cocaine we are voting with considering the history of bananas and the history of cocaine sandwiched between nicaragua to the south and quite another to the north investment charges well for use the phrase to describe the country enslaved by unscrupulous fruit corporations today a far more ruthless business dominates the landscape eighty percent of the cocaine sold in the u s is trafficked through on doris either by sea or flown into remote air jungle ships in the wilderness off the north east who is in charge of the cocaine traffic the president's brother and several other key members of the honduran government a government fully supported and promoted by our united states government in november two thousand and eighteen the brother of one dorm president ron orlando hernandez was arrested in miami on charges of trafficking cocaine weapon offenses and making a false statement according to the u s department of justice is currently being prosecuted in new york and although our government put the hernandez regime in power president trump complains about thousands of citizens fleeing the country which we destroyed our foreign policy in central america has to show what my handbag stable economies built by the national health service tens of thousands of citizens marched with torches calling themselves indigenous and those as with anti corruption demonstrations most participants were middle class workers teachers lawyers doctors our government ignored those protests completely and still supports the furnace government in november two thousand and seventeen or nando's was allowed to run for a nd term against the constitution of honduras and his party outright stole the election this vote had no legitimacy in the eyes of even the most conservative us media and it produced enormous and violently repressed demonstrations in honduras but the trump in ministration continues to ape the repressive regime these are historic facts which are not much discussed on the evening news not even on p b s our world will never become a better place while our government causes brutal violence in various parts of the world facts about the us war crimes were delivered to the public by julian assange and then julian assange has turned into a criminal even now some indignant u s citizens wh defending the citizens of the united states of america there are many more undocumented civilian deaths caused by our military our military and our weapons have killed thousands of people who are no threat at all to our country when facts are suppressed or ignored the people in charge the people making the bad decisions will keep right on making bad decisions and our government leaders who are more lies to all of us be in the mainstream media and many of us will believe all those lies our supreme court and our congress manipulate reality strengthening the rights of corporations diminishing the rights of individuals and always looking to those one percenters who pay for the campaigns and keep our capitalist democracy right on track in eight one hundred and sixteen dollars thomas jefferson made an interesting comment he said the majority oppressing an individual is guilty of a crime abuses its strength and by acting on the law strength breaks up the foundations of society and sometime earlier i think in and eight he you noticed the cheap trick of slim majority votes he said great innovations great changes should not be forced by a slender majority in those comments thomas jefferson was describing exactly what we have now major legislation passed on slim margins and the majority vote of congress oppressing individuals and the majority vote of the supreme court oppressing individuals and lifting up the corporations and in consequence all those things are destroying our society our current political leaders do not seem to think much or care much about long term consequences the inventors of our democracy believed in the will of the majority the freely cast votes of the majority they believed in the will of the majority because they believed well informed people with good intentions will usually pass laws which benefit the majority of citizens well that kind of democracy is not possible in our current set up in the set up of alternate realities the leaders of our political parties and their deep pockets supporters there those are the people who decide what's best for the rest of us our ability to be well informed severely limited by the volume of lies we are told we have he was sources of accurate information we don't know who to trust it's almost impossible to know who to trust on top of this when we do have elected leaders with good intentions who honestly want to help who want to sleep want to make a difference those good intentions and all their good will find little voice in the rig system they're pushed around by the leaders of their political parties and if they ignore the demands of those leaders well they aren't going to have much chance for reelection in my t v programs i talk a lot about one percenters those ultra wealthy billionaires either born into wealth or made rich by their own genius by their own hard work the one percenters are really a varied group not all of them are oblivious to the needs of the suffering of the rest of the humanity some billionaires set deliberate goals to solve this or that huge problem but none of those efforts solve the root cause of all the huge problems the root cause which i call economic slavery making a g m o grain or a super vaccine or or feeding two million people for six months does not remove economic slavery the economic slavery under which those desperately poor people live in fact most all people leastways in the entire world live under some form of economic slavery millions of people tens of billions of people in the united states are high paid slaves so well paid in fact they rarely notice the extent of their slavery no one in power no one with great wealth has stepped up to the microphone to say yes we have created a planet of economic slaves we have done this deliberately that system of economic slavery is barbaric and obsolete and needs to be modified six billion people six billion workers worldwide should not be forced into bondage for the specific purpose of making five thousand or six thousand individual people multi billionaires that seems to be the goal of capitalist democracy and capitalism in general that is a self destructive way to run a civilization it might look rosy and wonderful to the five thousand or six thousand multi billionaires but for the rest of us it means we have little freedom for our entire lifetimes our freedom only extends as far as our bank accounts all the isms we have created over the past five hundred years have gathered followers and become political powers with the intent of telling all the little people all the voters all the workers we have a magic social kool aid we've just invented it if you drink this kool aid we will all create a utopia a utopia for ourselves a utopia for our children and a utopia for our grandchildren well we all know what happens when we drink the kool aid our magical isms created and still create millions of dead bodies millions of refugees trying to get into europe and into the united states just trying to survive our magical isms including consumer capitalism and capitalist democracy have all failed china has been the most successful nation in recent years in bringing millions of people out of poverty but this is caused other giant problems and tighter to tele tearing control facial recognition software on street corners and of course more dead bodies the one percenters in charge of governments and the one percenters in charge of major corporations have not yet understood they are beating a dead horse they are beating a dead horse the isms are a dead the isms under which we live are all forms of economic slavery and economic slavery is inherently self destructive economic slavery is an obsolete idea an obsolete way to run human civilization and an obsolete way to run the economics of our planet six billion people need tentacle results results which will last a one thousand years not for a few one hundred years a one thousand years and the goal of our civilization needs to be larger than the creation of five thousand or six thousand new shiny multi billionaires that goal leads to complete economic collapse in the lives of most people what i propose is a new way of doing things and since we're so fond of isms i will call it self reliant capitalism let's imagine a new way of creating a distributing everything we need here in the united states let's imagine a way of life which could last a one thousand years and offer more freedom for more people than any of our ever did or ever could unlike our previous isms self reliant capitalism would require no military revolution no violence and no dead bodies this is m who require both the one percenters and the millions of non wealthy citizens to act in their own self interest if both the wealthy and the non wealthy of the united states use their imaginations and work together both groups motivated by self interest both groups with a clear idea of the end results the tangible results then at last we could create a self sustaining civilization which requires no slaves and requires no authoritarian control this is not a utopia this is a rational compromise to create a better way of life for everyone even the one percenters will be pleased with the end results suffer like capitalism would require the one percenters to stop investing in multinational corporations to stop investing billions into plans for world domination and world economic control over whatever product or service they deliver those billions of dollars would be invested in rural america invested in hundreds of small towns across america the st goal would be to create businesses in those small towns to make each town and each county economically self reliant that is most all the products and services used by people in those towns and those communities would be produced and available right there within a fifty mile radius of the town local would local sawmill local furniture maker local furniture store cars and trucks will still need to be produced elsewhere to be economically affordable but those vehicles can be adapted for local use as in making the cars and trucks able to run on ethanol which can be produce locally or able to run on electric batteries which could be produced locally likewise it would be inefficient for any small town or county to make laptops laptops could be made elsewhere again being adapted so local users would be entirely suffer live this design change would make all products suffer alliance allowing local businesses to sell and service those products without reference to higher authority to centralized government as in corporate government this design change would make all the difference the idea of centralized control over products and services would become obsolete no corporation would ever again need to spend billions of dollars to keep an edge over its competitors products would be designed specifically to boost local economies ninety percent of all cash in communities would stay and communities the large corporations will no longer function as giant sucking machines moving cash from local economies into corporate bank accounts far away from the people who earn that in return the one percenters the investors and the corporations who create the newly designed suffer elia products and services and support the creation of local businesses and local economies those wealthy benefactors of suffer like capitalism will take their five percent right off the top the businesses they build in local towns will be owned by local people but five percent of the profits from those businesses will forever flow back to the investors what could be more pleasing to a multi billionaire investor that a five percent return for ever and this set up in this suffer lie it up to listen economic activity and commerce is decentralised creating millions of new jobs and millions of new opportunities for low income and middle income families so they can move to rural america an opportunity for millions of people to create better ways of life and burdened by the stress and expense of living in or near major cities the d n of commerce the decentralization of manufacturing the decentralization of capitalism these are the things which will allow the united states of america to survive for a one thousand years and all other democracies to survive for a one thousand years without this change democracies will continue to decay into various forms i notice the yellow vests protesting in the streets parents in the us we see this on t v s and don't really think much about what it means the truth is the only bass tell us clearly what can go wrong and where has our in france and also in america the model france and the model of the french revolution it's liberty equality fraternity the people of france now know there's a deal's become complete lies their government leaders have sold their economy and sold the free will of the people that i expect are too global corporations who wish to make billions of dollars off the people of france our own leaders do exactly the same thing our supreme court as exactly the same thing making life liberty and the pursuit of happiness a giant pile of bullshit propaganda intended to make us leave the house and save our future in the future our children we know this afterwards backers and some of the largest banks in america still billions of dollars from the pension plans the millions of us citizens only one top banker to jail in fact the banks were bailed out something the banks knew would happen even before they ripped off billions of dollars and afterwards most o s got raises so the bankers committed grand larceny on unimaginable scale not just once but twice this is the largest saft in human history much worse than anything done by communists or german nazis because bankers and the behavior of our garden save our freedom free will democracy and what does it say about our form of capitalism how much control do we actually have over our own minds our free will usually extends only as far as our bank accounts and not except for if we do not have the cash to live in a nice neighborhood we are forced their economic setup to live in a shooting in the hood that is not freedom and multinational corporations like walmart and dogs and disney only create crappy low paying jobs many of us only get to have crappy looking jobs so when mr government bending over backwards to please such multinational corporations what good are those companies do for us the c e o s of capitalism and democracy look like why would any of us want fair wages when exactly going to happen i understand greedy responsibility deserves greater pay but not one thousand dollars or two thousand times greater pay that is the current corporate business model out right down from the lives of millions of employees the top dogs getting rich off the slave labor of their bodies we all had slavery was behind us we had our eight hundred and sixty one no slavery is back this time we have economic slavery smiling faces businesses and human resource departments and this morning sleeping room is better than ever for the top dogs
