A perfect description of an oxymoron: “Austerity in times of plenty.” The fact is that labor (the slaves) have done a terrific job, as a direct result, there is plenty of everything for everyone worldwide. If the elitist evildoing fascist controllers can get away with this, is there anything they cannot get away with? Seriously folks, if there was ever a time in human history when we needed Gods help, it’s now. It is inexcusable to be having this crap still going on at this point in history.

Max, listen to Michael Hudson. In his book “Super Imperialism” he demonstrates how the US closing of the gold window has allowed the US to achieve the biggest rip-off in history. The US exports paper and gets real goods and services in return. The world essentially pays for the privledge of being surrounded by US military bases. Its a brilliant way to tax without representation. Hudson states that apparently US advisors didn’t even realize what they had done until somewhat later. Read book.

Dennis Kucinich KNEW what the healthcare bill was…he knew he it was a bailout for the insurance companies and to perpetuate the thievery from the people. He knew it was outright theft and a scam and he still did it. He wasn’t “tricked” by anyone..he is a a traitor, a Benedict Arnold…he should be tried for treason and get the highest penalty that can be bestowed upon him. Kucinich, you’re a fucking traitor and you make me sick. Hope that blowjob u got from Soetoro was worth it. Asshole.

I like how The Keiser explains CAPITALISM in his famous unique way of wording important points of view. He says – ” Right . . .
~ You can’t have Capitalism with out CAPITAL.
~ You can’t have Capital without SAVINGS.
~ . . and if the Savings rate is `0`. . No Savings, No Capital . . NO Capital-ISM.”
Max continues adding – ” You can’t have any savings of course unless you have JOBS… and there are no Jobs.
This Keiser report above should be on TV.

Check out “The Legacy” by Burness Speakman on the nature of the US Government – four part vid, with each part one hour.

She explains your standing at law as “one of the people” (a sovereign) and how to hold your public servants accountable to their oath of office.

The Constitution is a Trust Indenture that establish an estate in Trust for the people and their posterity (heirs / descendants). We the people of today are the Beneficiary of that Trust.

See Bill Thornton’s material too.

Great show Max!!! People here in the U.S too conspiratorial although there are some “truths” in conspiracy theories such as bilderberg, nwo, etc. Nevertheless, the crisis that has become a plague throughout the world is being caused by neo-liberalism, which is a model based on free market competition, in which prvitization gobbles up the commons which belong to all people. It is at the root of our financial problems, immigration problems, and job perils that are afflicting us all.

Max, you piece of shit, why did you do a video against Peter Schiff?

You have claimed all those years there would be an inflation and the US dollar wouldn’t woth anything, and now you say Peter is wrong for making those same predictions?

What did they offer you – money? Was Mike Norman who took care of you?

You are a hypocratical liar whore, just like other journalists.

@a Nothing is ever perfect or utopia. What I am talking about is just infinitely better than what we have today and the next logical step in human evolution.

What is unrealistic is thinking we can keep the same inherently corrupt and failed institutions and systems of the past and everything will just magically get better. WAKE UP.

@a There are no leaders. You have been brainwashed into thinking you need rulers. There is NO coercion in VP because everyone can do whatever they want. And they’ll have ALL they need to be TRULY free.

Also VP is about DECENTRALIZING everything, self-sufficient cities, even making houses create their own energy, so once implemented NO small group will be able to control everyone again. It is OPPOSITE of NWO.

I believe the role of government should be to dismantle tyranny, not support tyranny ( e.g., breaking up monopolies, preventing no-bid contracts to corporations through nepotism, etc) Unfortunately Keynesian economics and eventually the elimination of private property through government authoritarianism will only strengthen and support tyranny
dontblockmedk

August 30th, 2010 at 2:46 am

@a I already answered those questions. But the idea in the venus project is to create new circular cities, even ocean cities, so worrying about beach front property is stupid.

You need to evolve in your thinking and realize that these materialistic concerns are MEANINGLESS.

@a Please come up with some new material that free market propaganda has been thoroughly destroyed.

Can we produce enough food, water, energy, etc for everyone or not?
Do we have the technology to automate most of the work or not?

If no, prove it.
If yes, ‘money for labor’ is OBSOLETE. So the only logical system is to produce abundance and just distribute it. There can only be force when there is NOT enough for everyone, ONLY with abundance EVERYONE is FREE. GET IT.

Atlanta is the welfare capital of the US. This is what happens when a whole underclass is enslaved to government policies that puport to “help” and ” empower” it. We are witnessing the beginning of the end of the welfare state, and the people who will suffer the most are the ones who relied on it the most.

@jimmycrackedcorn225 I would love to have a currency with an intrinsic value. you know we had one until 1913 when the fed came into existence, right? look at a graph of the value of the dollar before and after that point and tell me which dollar you prefer. it’s amazing how people like you always argue against yourselves, defeating your own invalid arguments.

So this is what it boils down to.
The Venus Project will be good for all. Discussion is unnecessary and only for the short sighted people who are “totally wrong about the real world.” We will have it, and that is that.

Well done, sport.
Well done.

August 30th, 2010 at 7:08 am

@L This is not a debate because you still fail to make an argument. And even if you made a valid argument I could not lose because if you say anything that makes more sense, I would espouse that instead.

Unlike you I have no interest in thinking I can win an argument on youtube while being totally wrong about the real world. The money property system is dead, just a matter of how much suffering it will cause before we evolve beyond it.

I have no more time for you.

@dontblockmedk
You’ve lost this debate/argument on a practical level, so you come full circle to the same moral high-ground diatribes I hear from other Venus Project pushers.
If you want to convince realistic people that your dream is doable, you will need more than dreamer’s arguments to sway them. After all, realistic people build reality while dreamers dream.
I think I already suggested that you dump this cult of nonsense and reform yourself as a man of knowledge and persuasion.

@L I agree debt, taxes are bad, but those are just SYMPTOMS.

All these arguments are missing the fundamental points.

Can we produce enough food, water, energy, etc for everyone or not?
Do we have the technology to automate most of the work or not?

If no, prove it.
If yes, ‘money for labor’ is OBSOLETE. So the only logical system is to produce abundance and just distribute it. There can only be force when there is NOT enough for everyone, ONLY with abundance EVERYONE is FREE. GET IT.

@dontblockmedk
Don’t get emotional on us.
You first have to understand WHY billions of people starving. It has nothing to do with lack of a utopian scientific dictatorship. It has to do with a debt-based monetary system which inevitably imposes stifling taxes, preventing human freedom to build and innovate.
For proof, you need look no further than tax rates in 3rd world countries. Imagine building a house if 70-90% of what you did was confiscated.

@dontblockmedk
Here’s a basic scenario.
2 guys are digging a hole. One is fit, the other a couch potato. They have two possible outcomes.
A) Finish at the same time, with the fit guy doing extra work.
B) Agree to shovel equal volumes of dirt. The fit guy finishes early, potato stays til sunset.
Now do you see where the effort-for-reward is mandatory here?

The exact same situation would apply in futuristic automated hole digging. A designer and a builder, one is a pro, the other a klutz.

@kookamachu heaven forbid that we have a standard currency with an implcit value (whether it’s backed by gold, or whatever, I’m not here to argue that point). What do you advocate? Going back to the times where we bartered with chickens and bushels of grain? Come on now.

@k Can we agree that FIRST we need to create an automated, sustainable system with enough food, water, shelter for everyone? Then we can worry about greedy mother fuckers who want mansions on the beach.

I always find it amazing that some people think billions of people starving and dying is OK, but they are concerned about some cock sucker having a mansion. The pathetic thing about it is that YOU will NEVER have a mansion so WHY are you even bringing that up. How brain washed can you be!
dontblockmedk

August 30th, 2010 at 11:35 am

@L You are still saying that tweaking the symptom (debt based currency) will solve all problems, but miss the point that the money property based system ITSELF is what causes this.

The ‘money for labor’ paradigm is OVER. Machines do most of the work and that will grow. The only question is do we keep a system where only a small group of people OWN everything and everyone OR automate produce abundance and SHARE ALL.

Money is just a tool, destructive and obsolete, why do you fear evolving?
