1. Satire: âHonest Government Adâ on Climate
Humor helps dealing with serious problems. It decreases resignation and boosts persistence and strength needed in the fight for the much needed change. In addition, discovering the absurdity of ongoing policies is often easier when looking at other countries as we can take a view not so obscured by cultivated preconceptions. Hence here is another amusing piece from Australia:
(Note: If the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for thejuicemedia and the title: âHonest Government Ad | Climate Breakdown & School Strikesâ)
I like a comment that was left on this video on Youtube:
Youâve never failed to impress me with every single one of your âhonest government adsâ
If you have time on weekends to rest on a couch and watch movies, sports, or interesting news shows on TV â being offered mostly crap (and Bill Moyers sadly being gone by now) â this weekly video compilation is a perfect alternative bringing us bright insights into our corrupt corporate rule and how we can fight to take back our stolen world and repair our racketeered lives.

Another video compilation to enrich our weekend with insights in our troubles and clues for change. Once again, your weekend can be wisely spent learning a lot.
This weekendâs online video compilation, sporting many stars (including several non-regulars) like Susan George, Ralph Nader, Abby Martin, Noam Chomsky, Jimmy Dore, Richard Eskow, The Rational National, Jesse Ventura, Brigida Santos, Richard Wolff, Jamarl Thomas, and Thom Hartmann, ranges from news on the oligarchic âDemâ establishment vote-splitting its own base, through deep system analyses, exposure of corruption, media manipulation, economic âfree marketâ reality, political theater, class war, immigration, and automation to enlightened political conversations and spiffy political humor. (Warning: so many good videos piled up this week that I am planning for a Part B tomorrow). Invitation: sign up for notifications from this site as a rich source for eye-opening and ideas-spawning videos and articles.
I. System Analysis
Global Debt Slavery: The people worldwide has been colonized by the rich corporatists (A.K.A. Neocons/Neoliberals / robber billionaires and their millionaire minions):
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “Susan George on Neoliberalism“)
Corporate-state elections:
Prophet Ralph Naderâs stunning precognition in 2015:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “The Empire Files: Ralph Nader & Abby Martin on the Corporate Elections“)
Noam Chomski Interview on a broad range of issues:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “PRIMO NUTMEG #144: Noam Chomsky“)
Note: The one thing on which I definitely disagree with him is that âthe weight of evidenceâ suggests that Assad launched chemical attacks. Here, Chomski may have fallen victim to the widespread lies dispersed throughout all the major media outlets. It is simply illogical for Assad to shoot himself into his foot that way (prompting hostilities from super powers like the U.S.), even more so when he is already winning anyway. And that the White Helmets which parade through our media as a kind of Middle Eastern Red Cross are actually a branch of the islamist terrorists, one that specializes in creating fake news (such as those alleged chemical attacks), is pretty well documented by now.
II. Corruptitians
Self-declared gods blowing up smoke each otherâs aâs while they are screwing us over:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jimmy Dore and the title: “Swamp Creature Scott Pruitt Resigns From EPA“)
âDemocraticâ Party establishment working to split its own âDemocraticâ Party vote to avoid progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from winning the election for Congress. Remember how they were gaslighting and voter-shaming us in 2016 (and 2000), blaming those of us who want policies for the people and end the establishment oligarchy for allegedly having gotten us G.W. Bush and Donald Trump? Well, while all this was total bogus in an electoral system so heavily rigged, they sure seem to not hesitate to use the sppiler effect to protect their bribe-paying donors from their own voter base:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for The Rational National and the title: “Joe Crowley Stays On The Ballot As 3rd-Party Challenge To Ocasio-Cortez“)
III. Systemic Corruption
Jesse Ventura, Brigida Santos, and Richard Wolff discuss the erosion of workersâ rights in America and how our corporatist debt-based economy with lots of welfare for the rich and lots of squeezing for the rest of us leads to ever greater inequality.
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “Workersâ Rights & Richard Wolff“)
IV. Media Manipulation
Controlling the people with lies and silencing. Jesse Ventura and Brigida Santos discuss Operation Mockingbird and how Americaâs most powerful news outlets have been working with the CIA for decades to plant false stories and mislead the public:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jesse Ventura, Brigida Santos, and the title: “Operation Mockingbird & John Barbour“)
U.S.A. = Propaganda State :
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jamarl Thomas and the title: “ALERT: U.S. Funded âMinistry Of Truthâ Is Lying On Glen Greenwald; Legally Spreading Propaganda To U“)
V. Economic Reality
Economic reality of protectionism, government subsidies, and oh-so free trade that never was or likely will be:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “The deceptive promise of free trade | DW Documentary“)
Our Power Eliteâs Corrupt Economy and Political Theater (very insightful speech!):
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Richard D. Wolff and the title: “Global Capitalism: Immigration & Trade War [July 2018] “)
Note: Most important point (which you hear from me again and again, as well) around 33:01 min in, starting with an astute audience comment and continuing with Wolffâs well-put response. And at 40:34 min, he goes over our U.S. experience with it.
Toxic economy:
A suitable Pruit Epitaph: Poison for Profit. The rich have absolutely no consideration for us.
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Thom Hartmann and the title: “How the Morbidly Rich are Literally Poisoning the Working Class for Profit!“)
VI. Class War
The U.S. Class War (incl. Mortgage Crisis) explained by Richard Wolff:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “How Class Works â by Richard Wolff“)
Iâd like to add that, as I calculated and explained before, about half of the income created by all our work (plus the machines and previously made infrastructure and inventions) goes to the small group of the very rich; and if we simply redirected it to us all by taxing excessive income and wealth, we would all have good lives (except in cases of untreatable health crises and such, which we could then also better fight though, by the way).
VII. Immigration
Some good points made on our immigration situation:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jimmy Dore and the title: “âWe Donât Want Mexicansâ Say Young Trump Supporter“)
The running for your life part of Hispanic immigration to the U.S. (the oligarchy hurts people everywhere â and too many dupes among us still believe this to be ethical and for our safety):
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Sana Saeed and the title: “How U.S. Involvement In Central America Led To a Border Crisis| AJ+“)
VIII. Automation (quick idea)
Automation could be a good rather than bad thing if handled correctly. Besides Social Security for All as a financial safety cushion and Federal Job Programs (to fund important tasks the private market does not), an additional (not alternative, but additional) way is a shorter work week:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “The Divide: Why You Should Work Less â And How It Could Save The Planet“)
IX. Political Psychology
Culture is only part of our believes and push-buttons. A lot is in-born. We find it among our closest relatives in the wild:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for the title: “The surprising science of alpha males | Frans de Waal“)
X. Political Conversation
Good conversation comparing the Democratic and Republican gangs… pardon me… âpartiesâ and how to solve our problems. Oh, look at the front picture:Â more alpha chimps!
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jimmy Dore, Richard Eskow, and the title: “Whoâs More Corrupt, Democrats Or Republicans?“)
XI. Political Humor
Neat, humorous conversation on immigration, nativism, elite-privilege, election integrity, people striving to make our country being smeared as extremists and the denied the right to do so when they didnât pick the right soil to be born on…:
(Note: if the video linked above gets deleted, you may search the Internet for Jimmy Dore, Richard Eskow, and the title: “Democrats Are Plotting A âCoupâ! Says Tucker Carlson”)
Note: Keep your eyes peeled for tomorrowâs Part B (at least 3 or 4 more videos).

As the third installment of this weekâs series about our rigged economy I present a documentary film I shared once before (on a video weekend) because it just fits so well in this place in the chain. There is another one vying for this place which I think is better shared next (tomorrow). It is beginning to look as if my original plan to keep it all to one week may not work unless you all have time to watch more than one long documentary per day, which â as working people â I doubt many of us have. So, I may extend this series a bit, at least into the coming video weekend. There will be very pertinent follow-ups (that I planned all along), but this series is intended to be a compact crash course of sorts giving a fairly comprehensive picture of our economic rigging. The follow-ups will largely focus on our way out of this trap (although at least one beam of light will also show up this week, Friday or Saturday). I hope the âcrash courseâ will fit into one week when we include the weekend. Weâll see. Anyway, whether you have watched the below documentary from 2014 before or not, it is well worth watching again.
Main topics: Neoliberalism, financial capitalism, austerity, speculation, colonization of the first world much like was previously done to what thereby became the poor third world, American Empire, American poverty, heartless discrimination against the poor and turning the middle class into more and more poor, prison slavery, corporatism, stopping beneficial government spending to give subsidies and tax breaks to the richest of the rich, the rich no longer paying taxes and instead having the government borrow money from them so we have to pay interests on the loan through our taxes (all this when the federal government has the authority to issue its own money), entitlement thinking of the super-rich. Leveraged Wall Street buyouts that steal all we have (even our retirement) into the robber billionaireâs vaults. The new, modern form of large-scale slavery/feudalism is one where corporations (including banks) are the fronts of a very few global masters and the rest of us are their serfs sliding deeper and deeper into serfdom towards slavery. The system is rigged by the super-rich who want it all. We need a fundamental change.
