The images of this mass uprising are downright inspiring. I fear our own government would be much better at splintering any such uprising. Much like our military studies ethnic, political, and social divides in countries we invade, similar knowledge would be used to fragment any domestic opposition to the U.S.S.A. Think of how tea party activists were labeled racist by several newsy shows.

Pay attention to the part about mass debt being a source of impoverishment and corruption, and also of wealth for the financiers. The talk of “endless debt” ought to sound chillingly familiar to us in Amerika.

I will point out, the crime is not inherent to the free market. It occurs when government colludes with business. The parts about nationalizing a tyrrant’s debt, and the case of the Royal Bank of Canada vs. Cost Rica are fascinating.

Carl Saul Menem and his cult of followers is just like Obama. This is why it’s important to believe in principles first (non-intervention, sound money, the Constitution), in people second (Obama), and in phrases never ( “change” / “yes we can” ).
I havent watched this but… I think its probably a mistake to say “I will point out, the crime is not inherent to the free market. It occurs when government colludes with business. ” I think it probably is, its just worse and more pervasive and systematic when govt is involved. In general, i would say people who believe in free markets should try to be a little less sure of their assertions that all these things work themselves out so well in a free market – we do not know that because it hasnt really been tried…
I’m not so sure. Without exception, the free-est societies have been the least corrupt. East Germany vs. West Germany. Pre-communist Cuba vs. Communist Cuba. Hong Kong in the 70’s & 80’s vs. China in the 70’s and 80’s.
