  1. I’m not sure, I totally agree. The top 1% do bang on about the environment. Anything and everything they agree to do should be met with suspicion and concern. Aren’t at the top for being angels.

  2. Money talks especially in this global economy. Many governments are behind the crime they rail against but the American government has been involved in drug trafficking. Some reckon that some 90% of the cocaine coming in to the US is facilitated by the US government. They are aided in this process by the CIA and the Feds

  3. Now, this is the type of story that will regain my loyalty to TheRealNews. Thank you, we need more of this and we can spread this–but, you know…

  4. It's the same cycle since the beginning, but each time we run it, it gains more amplitude. Then technology layers in, and the difference between highs and lows explodes. Technology has given us the power to alter evolution. We've used this power not to learn how to live compatibly, rather we've used it exclusively to make our own lives "richer". As we've always done, and that's the evolution part, our behavior isn't tolerable anymore.

  5. I agree with everything in this video except the hoax called Climate Change. There is nothing to fix except for you scam artists to stop scaring people with your exaggerations and sensationalism.

  6. I stopped my donation after you had Marc Steiner pushing the Russiagate bullshit. Love this guy, I'm renewing, please just don't steiner me again.

  7. Sounds like the book is packed with interesting stuff. Peter Phillips might have included a heads-up in his letter to the power elites stating that–since we know who they are–when the SHTF, these people will be targeted with no-nonsense reprisals. Down and dirty. Their lawyers will not be able to help them.

  8. Hey tried to donate buy didn't work, also you ask for too much info there, maybe you could provide a bitcoin address?

  9. Read 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' – he laid this all out years ago. And it's also pretty obvious now. Question is: what to do about it?

  10. The West is going down and people are looking for folk to blame. We've always had a Powerful Elite, going back in recorded history.

  11. Why isn't this guy wearing a YELLOW VEST??? He's talking about exactly what they're talking about except they know you cannot appeal to these psychopaths. You must dethrone them.

  12. "The essence of capitalism, its raison d'être, is not to build democracy, or help working people, or save the environment, or build homes for the homeless. Its goal is to convert nature into commodities and commodities into capital, to invest and accumulate, transmuting every part of the world into its own image for its own realization."  ~ Michael Parenti

  13. This is a very important video. Greg Wilpert asks all the right questions, and Peter Phillips
    knows precisely and empirically what he is talking about.

    This video should be required viewing for all non-wealthy people, everywhere.

    To say this video nails its subject right on the head, is an understatement.

    This is, truly, THE REAL NEWS.

  14. The Global Power Elites and psychopaths represent 1% of the global population. They are one and the same. Lust for money is not the motivation of the 1%. It is power and control. They are devoted to these goals and use money to get control because money buys power and power buys control. They love only themselves and hate others. Anyone who is not part of the 1% elite is an inferior person in their eyes.You can't appeal to them. They have no conscience. Climate change, a failing economy, nuclear war, even their own grandchildren mean nothing to them. They are like a crazed person holding an assault weapon who shoots innocent children and commits suicide afterward. What a heady experience. The Power! The control! It's worth their own death to them. These 1% of the World prefer a scorched earth policy to life itself. The world is full of Dark Energy. But not enough to prevail over the 99% of us.

  15. In absolute terms most of the world is less poor than they were any time in the past. Living standards of people everywhere in the 3rd world (i.e. everywhere not ravaged by war) are much better than they were a couple of decades ago.
    Yet the Western "liberals" want to pretend that they are concerned for those living in poverty.
    But what is patently obvious is that these Western "liberals" never care for anyone, but themselves i.e. Western middle classes. When capitalism and capitalists were serving their interests, they were all too happy singing praises of capitalism. Now that capitalism stopped serving their interests, it is suddenly an evil thing.
    The future of the West is neo-feudal, with a small minority of rich elite, a small middle class that protects them and a vast under class (that is not even needed thanks to automation). Get used to living in that dystopia or be prepared to be eliminated, just like the natives of North America were.
    Poetic justice!

  16. The Real News,
    I wish I had a MILLION DOLLARS
    that I could donate to you all,
    because your programming is so
    incredible and invaluable!
    You all are fearless, you bring us
    in depth coverage of subjects that
    no one else will touch.
    You give us the information of what's going on behind the scenes,
    so we can understand and we can
    contribute to making the World a better place. THANK YOU!

  17. Finally, someone start talking about where really the problem is at.

    And it's not immigrants nor socialists.

    This is what Thomas Piketty(Capital in the twenty-first century) is warning about.
