I will never make a long movie again

Whilst I don't share your views on 911, i sympathise with your frustration over peoples' apathy.

But, you know, if people don't care, they don't care?

"We are many, they are few." yet the many don't much care. What can you do?

I'm a socialist, and I see a lot of people (even Americans) crying out for things which socialism stands for. Yet people repeat the mantras about socialism=stalinism, it's failed before, and all that balh blah blah. But still they keep saying they want education, healthcare, jobs, security, peace, how much they oppose bankers, privatisation, elitism, inequality etc.

People want the things socialism offers, but they don't want "socialism". What can you do?

I don't think your on the right forum if you support socialism. I truly don't understand why you're here in the first place.

finally cat is out of the bag.

I do agree that socialism does not = stalinism. But socialsm is not an good economic system especially for Ameirca. From reading your other posts I figured out that you seem to assume that America makes wealth from imperialism and that it's all capitalism and the free market's fault.

Your biggest failure is not recognizing that where as government spending "could" be used to say help the poor or create wind farms or whatever. Government spending not only "can" be but "is" being spent to finance war industries and award wall street for gambling. That's the bad part of socialism. It's also the kind in the real world we are going to get as this idea of a benevolent government is a fantasy. The US has a mixed system. We have public schools shitty as they are, a post office, and other socialist things paid for by state or federal governments. And they are services. We also benefit greatly from a free market where competition lowers prices and gives intensive for innovation and motive for work. It's not a black any white issue where one thing is totally bad and the other utopia.

Right now we have socialized profits for the rich and private debt dumped on everyone else.
To be blunt, Our government sucks. So I don't want our government in charge of anything. I am not opposed to regulations. I am opposed to their regulations which favor virtual monopolies. They use farm subsidies for example as a way to indirectly finance big pharma by having the farms pay the drug companies for steroids, pesticides, anti-biotics, etc and they also use the FDA to set rules in such away to require many unnecessary things for the sake of involving as many industries as possible. They allowed credit default swaps to replace state insurance which would have required collateral for poor credit loans. They allowed no doc loans to imbeciles with no assets or capital and had the gull to package those and sell them as securities AND gave them triple A ratings. Now that is fraud. They let companies with secret billions from the fed buy up floundering companies who then got bail outs thus when Bank of America bought country wide with secret fed money, country wide is then bailed out after that so that bank of America got that money as well AND the TARP money and awarded themselves with 30 BILLION in bonuses. That is also socialism as the money came from the government, and the crappy regulations on one hand and lack of actual regulations against fraud, on the other set up by the government also assisted in the theft.

People want a simplistic answer like its capitalism fault or its the markets fault. It's the governments fault as well as the co-conspirators in the banks. That's domestically. In the war area its government and DOD saturated companies spending the treasury and debt on themselves.

Interest rates should not be set by the fed. That's absolutely retarded. No one should be able to make off the books loans in the trillions either, but that is what we have. We suckers are on the free market but at the top the mega business all have government support and partnerships.

That doesn't mean ALL gov spending is bad it means THAT type of gov spending is bad. But people get suckered into the false paradigm of pick a side socialism or capitalism.

Here in Japan we have universal healthcare. It's great. Japan is also bound by their constitution not to start war. Because they dont spend trillions n offense they can afford without heavy taxes to pay for healthcare for all. it's not like France tho. The gov pays 70% and you pay 30% and that' you pay not your company. However the total price is lower because they dont allow insurance companies to write the laws. This was a result of losing a war and people existing on 1000 calaries a day. It became a moral issue to insure health for all. To take it away would be unheard of.

The largest projects are the wars. That has to end. And the Fed and it's ability to create money and spend and loan it in secret also must stop. That method of theft is socialist. On the other side you can't just abandon anti-turst laws, and or throw the sick out on the street. We can have a far better mixed system than what we've got. And the first steps are ending the government business partnerships, freeing up the markets, but enforcing laws against fraud, protection of property right and health and environmental standards. And much of it can be done by state governments.

Sent request to Rense that he at least give short shrift to WBD 2011.

[Colbyor]

WBD 2011 is a diamond in the ruff. it is so goddamn good that it will take time to the ripple effect it deserves. if it is the last long film you make, it will be the last one you need to.
85% of people are retarded. why? I dont know.
but this movie will be a tool for a long time for getting into the heads of a few more.
i greatly appreciate this body of work, its strong medicine and it will take time to spread.

thanks again for your hard work and solid research

[Ry]

Thank you Colbyor

there is one glitch i did on purpose near the end middle of the film that everyone copying it is going to have. It won't be on the DVD though. I just a way to prove hey I actually bought it.

I'm excited that it actually is getting thousands of views just not on my channel. That's youtube's fault as much as the plagiarist. They wont allow me over 15 min on my main name.

I don't fail to recognise that at all.

You fail to recognise that I do *not* fail to recognise it.

That's the bad part of socialism.

Christ. It is not socialism. You know nothing about socialism if you think America is socialist. LOL.

The US has a mixed system.

Oh wow - we're getting somewhere.

We have public schools shitty as they are, a post office, and other socialist things paid for by state or federal governments.

I wouldn't call those things socialist necessarily. Socialism is workers control over the means of production.

We also benefit greatly from a free market where competition lowers prices and gives intensive for innovation and motive for work.

If you say so. I beg to differ.

Just now you were complaining there was no free-market etc and it certainly wasn't working out as you describe here in glowing terms now.

Though I have to say, I appreciate capitalism over anything else bar socialism. It has a lot of strengths, obviously. But weaknesses too - such as the propensity for the powerful to turn the state to their own ends. Eqalitarianism of socialism and its democracy can better prevent this.

Right now we have socialized profits for the rich and private debt dumped on everyone else

.

y, in essence I agree.

It certainly isn't socialism though. And it fails as capitalism as there's no penalty for failure.

I agree with much of what you criticised in that post, but it certainly isn't socialism. Socialism for the rich, but that's no socialism. As I say, it's torturing the word to call it socialism.

That doesn't mean ALL gov spending is bad it means THAT type of gov spending is bad. But people get suckered into the false paradigm of pick a side socialism or capitalism.

I'm no recent convert to socialism. I think the divide between capitalism and socialism is real, and primary.

you seem to assume that America makes wealth from imperialism and that it's all capitalism and the free market's fault.

Yep, pretty traditional, anti-imperialist, leftwing position.

Japan is also bound by their constitution not to start war.

Only because they lost the last one.

This was a result of losing a war and people existing on 1000 calaries a day. It became a moral issue to insure health for all. To take it away would be unheard of.

Well, we got it because we "won" the war. British, I mean.

We can have a far better mixed system than what we've got. And the first steps are ending the government business partnerships, freeing up the markets, but enforcing laws against fraud, protection of property right and health and environmental standards. And much of it can be done by state governments.

Well, I can certainly agree with that. I don't see RonPaul would.

[Ry]

Well, I can certainly agree with that. I don't see RonPaul would.

Actually dumb ass that's almost a direct quote from Ron Paul. Shows you dont know a thing about him. If you live in the UK I don't know why it should matter so much to you but I do see now why you were completely ignorant of the Bengal holocaust and other atrocities from the UK.

You fail to recognise that I do *not* fail to recognise it.

no you fail to recognize it by your own admission you just decided that it's not socialist for the government to award money to companies. some how you blame government intervention and central planing on the free market which you interchange with capitalism like it's the same thing, even when the very definition of a free market would mean the state can't give any money to a business or person. You didn't even consider militerism as part of the economy because it isn't listed as such. Just ignore that it's half of our wealth in the US to pay for the militarism. But Nooo that's not going to effect the economy I am SO glad dipshits like yourself don't have control over the means of production in any business. You know there is a way to do that it's call start your own fucking business. You are also more than welcome after investing all your time and energy and risk in a business to willingly hand it over evenly to your workers as equal partners and let them decide how to manage it. That is perfectly legal to do. It it isn't done though because it doesn't work.

Christ. It is not socialism. You know nothing about socialism if you think America is socialist. LOL.

And you didn't read it if you think i think america is socialst. I don't even fall into those clean cut categories. I get the feeling you're some high school or early community college British kid with nothing to do.

I wouldn't call those things socialist necessarily. Socialism is workers control over the means of production

The workers at a school the teachers and staff ARE the means of production. They don't sell products they are paid for their labor. It is socialist in that the entire business is paid for by the government not by it's production. And the state owns it. You might even say it flirts with communism. It doesn't produce anything. Not every business is about commodities and services. People go because it is mandatory.

But weaknesses too - such as the propensity for the powerful to turn the state to their own ends.

AKA such as the potential for it to head towards socialism and communism and allow the state to manage and finance the business.

Do you not know what a free market even is? You seem to think its anything that makes money where there is a boss and workers. In a free market the state does nothing but prevent fraud and the courts uphold contracts. There is no using the state for wealth of force. As soon as the state is assisting the business it's not a free market, and it's not capitalism it's state capitalism. It becomes socialism for the rich.

The biggest problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.

by the way

"Definition of SOCIALISM
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
See socialism defined for English-language learners »"

The state control of resources and production (yet still private property) is socialist. Thus the no-bid contracts, bail outs etc where the state not the market but the STATE is the source of wealth for the business that is not free market it is mercantile corporate welfare and a form of socialism. It's not as bad as full on socialism because eventually the private company getting wealth redistributed form the poor to itself by the government will break away from the gov albeit with massive advantages but will not be able to continue to steal other people's money for it's own sake.

And it is not capitalism

an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth.

That's the very opposite of state assistance. You however have it backwards.

Ry I agree with a few of the others here in that it's just bullshit luck that the timing wasn't better when you released it (Egypt). Have patience, keep promoting this, people will come around. It might be hard for a number of people to go back and watch a new version of the same film, feeling "Been there done that"... I sure hope not. Your work definitely does have an impact - as far as I'm concerned in a lot of ways you set the bar.

A suggestion:
How about another new 10 minute clip to tie in the link between Egypt/Israel/US... why they're such an important asset for the US and Israel, why aid is denied into Gaza through Egypt, etc... it might help round things out for viewers.

[bruno718]

do you seriously think that the "workers" of home depot could just take over the means of production and not run the business into the ground?

i used to be a socialist, and like you, defined socialism not by it's real definition (state control of commerce, property, etc.), but simply as "good." wake up, read, you have an entire forum of austrian economists here to show you the light. don't be afraid of freedom. and remember, when they say "the workers control the means of production," - that shit is not possible.

hope this helps
