    This woman makes so much sense. Definitely worth a listen - as she says, it's happening worldwide, not just in America.

    Well I found her well spoken and very easy to understand oc, maybe you're just not on the same wavelength.

    I found her talk very informative .

    Corporations are the new governments of the world despite what a lot of red and blue supporters here in Australia think.

    The solution to that, if that were to be a problem for you...become a shareholder.

    Excellent interview.

    Also very interesting the amount of high calibre whistle blowers that are speaking out against the establishment and the goings on.
    She also makes a very valid point that the smear campaigns against whistle blowers are no where near as effective as they once were
    because of the internet and social media.

    Oh Really! Just like the Australian Banks. A,B,C own the majority of shares in D..Then D, C and B own majority of shares in A and so forth...You could buy shares in Walmart till you were blue in the face but you will never own it.

    The powers that be are not a problem for me but the hidden hand is.

    And of course your shareholder vote would mean next to nothing in that you would have little or no affect on the management of the enterprise.

    oops sounds like politics doesn't it.

    What does that mean exactly?

    Microsoft or Apple or Google can't tell me what to do. They can't govern me or anyone else I'd dare say.

    they can decide who you talk to, who you can give money to, what conversations you can read, what news you can see, what roads and installations your maps show, and more importantly they can provide a conduit for all your activity to the powers that be. Or perhaps more importantly those three in particular are describing the thought processes and expectation of the next generation.

    Take any major multinational and you'll see that the economic power they hold can subvert nations and individuals rights pretty much with impunity. There was a book a while back which talked about the behaviour of multinationals having many parallels with the behaviour of psychopaths and I've never seen anything but proof of that thesis.

    I don't see this one at all. I talk to who I want.

    I give money to who I want also. Exception being the govt which takes what it wants and I have no recourse.

    In the age of the internet? Govt made a big effort to try and censor though.

    Really????

    Because the government did what people wanted in the past?

    They can subvert governments yes. And therein lies the problem. Government power.

    Errol,

    The Australian banks all own a max of 14.99% of each other, or thereabouts.

    The ASX or ASIC says that they cannot exceed that without making a full formal offer to ALL shareholders. That applies to all shareholdings in all companies.

    Unless it has changed of recent years.

    That was the issue that Ginagut Rinehart had when she was buying Fairfax shares wasn't it?

    I think so, she could have bought the majority shareholding from her purse, but did not want 100%.

    Silly girl.

    Political parties get funded by corporations so they can win elections.

    Corporations therefore have influence over govt when it comes to drafting laws etc
    Without the funding from the corporations the politicians would not be in office - they owe them.


    I've only seen the first half so far but much of what she says is not new if you've had your ears open for a while
    she is not the first person to be talking about it

    The concept of the FIRE economy (Finance Insurance Real Estate) taking over the real economy (making stuff) is not new
    FIRE does nothing productive but sucks more and more out of the real economy
    FIRE has become so big now that it dominates the real economy and controls the govt as well (why did the banks need bailing out?)


    This video does seem to provide a very good, short summary though - well worth showing to someone who has no idea what is going on.

    No, the banks and insurance companies

    They make vast profits from real people without adding any actual value

    They control the govt so they pass laws to make it easier for the banks to make larger and larger profits

    when the banks get into trouble they run to the govt to bail them out


    The world is now controlled by banks, not governments


    As I've said before, the worst thing the govts did in 2008 was bail out the banks
    they should have let them all die
