@@EvenStarLoveAnanda Hal wasn't saying that himself; if you read the comment again, you'll see he paraphrased a Gore Vidal quote. However, the actual quote, taken from one of Gore Vidal's books published in 2003, is, verbatim "Apparently, 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth." The book info: *Gore Vidal (2003). “Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Cheney-Bush Junta”, p.50, CLAIRVIEW BOOKS* I don't normally go around defending random people, especially not in the RUclips comment section, but aside from that, I believe your comment is ill-informed.... It absolutely has NOT always been so.

The usage remained fairly consistent until around 1899, as during that year (1899) "It shifts from simple incidental use in language to referring to a specific thing. From "that theory which has a conspiracy" to "the theory that we call conspiracy theory"", and that it seemed to "move towards its current use with an implied "far-fetched" prepended." It's also popularly (and incorrectly believed by many; not saying you) to be started by the CIA in 1967. While there may be some truth to the belief that "the phrase “conspiracy theory” was popularized in the 1960s by the CIA to discredit those who dared to question the Warren Commission" is accurate, the CIA certainly did not create the term. In any case, whether you're 'woke' or not, the meaning of the term has variably changed over the decades, and the commonness has increased exponentially in the most recent 2 decades. I would argue, that the true meaning of the term/phrase is largely dependent on who is speaking about it. Those of (us) who believe wholeheartedly that OF COURSE the government and private conglomerates hide information, technology, history & more from the public, and those who use the term as a dismissive pejorative placeholder to discredit anyone who disagrees with them or gets in their way.

Guess I'm lucky. Two guys I live with in our flat share similar points of view. We don't agree on everything but the general consensus is its all a bit fucked.
Medicating people to endure a life where they feel they have to stay on the hamster wheel to survive is no life. Everything is connected and the economic paradigm needs to change radically. Prof Cary Cooper is another excellent source of information.
Alex, this is why my hamster ran around the room free. Surely, I had to be very VERY CAREFUL where I went in the room. She was trained to use the little toilet inside the cage. Her former cage was the bathroom. But truth be told the hamster was able to g under the door and go throughout the house. I found this out later.

in the economic department think Basic Income to lay a floor of civility that liberates people and balances an otherwise barbaric globalizing society. in the political department find a representative formula for democracy better than the party-system (like sortition or direct democracy) in general it is essential to organize and plan the alternatives like a pro, without relying on government.
Immediacy is the problem, Alex. Born in the fifties, we didn't have the spoils that have corrupted our world. I paid my own university costs, worked late spring and summers, took a year off working to save money, found cheap bedroom suites during the school and work year. I spent as little as possible; my focus was my future. Once working (a teacher) I put every penny possible to pay off my university debts. After debts were payed-off (4 years and a bit) I continued to save as much as possible; to spend as little as I could.... (University was not the expense then, as it is now! Criminal!) I married, but we had no children and then went our own ways. I continued to live the simple life (renting a room rather than the cost, expenses and other problems of owning, then) retiring age 60. Still I lived frugally waiting until all pensions came, age 65, but enjoying the time with no responsibilities, meditating on life, agenda-free getting used to total freedom from the rat-race. I am 68 so now I travel, continue to live in my house-trailer home in BC paradise, in a corner of Powel River, an Island in a rainforest (it rarely rains when the sun is up; three sides of the TH look at water and/or ancient forest). I have learned to be fully in charge of my life, which takes some time after years of work and even retirement, to become a-customised. I never felt so free before, which probably gave me focus and a penchant against wasting time or the penny. I have always enjoyed my time out at a movie, pubs and camping holidays, but a frugal life has given me a secure retirement with possibilities to travel the great ancient sites of our wonderful world. This December to the Pyramids I begin my visits of ancient sights that are beyond wonder! How did the ancients move those massive rocks that we cannot move today, even with our best machinery! My tale is extreme, but the trick is to think like the Chinese (I am Caucasian but like to study, learn from other cultures). So, spend as little as possible, challenge yourself, save and invest. WE never know what the future has in store . . . so save & plan for for any emergency. There are alternative possibilities to what the two chatterboxes present in this video discussion. Choose to defy the path of the herd; and be wiser from each trial on your travels in this great universe. We are, have been and will be again. This universe is all we have and it of forever: it is not expanding, not one iota of information (material is also information) is destroyed beyond change. Every moment brings change. Namaste and care, mhikl

Loved everything I heard here but at 37:00 when they talk about the hunter gatherer as being individualistic, that’s actually incorrect. Hunter gatherer societies were always altruistic because if you and your family have killed a deer and you find some other group who’s hungry, you would feed them. This is because you couldn’t keep the meat for yourself and because someday you’ll be hungry and in need of help
Correct, Humanity survived due to the ability to collaborate. If we were to have lived in constant state of aggressive, cut throat competition, we would of never have made it out of the cave.
@@singingway I very much appreciate any of Peter Joseph' work. Can you imagine how much better off we would be as a species if collaboration was our mode of operation. Peter Joseph did an interview with the sassy Jimmy Dore that is worth watching. Your kung Fu collaboration was fun and enjoyable also.
Hunter gatherers practiced qualified egoism. Do for yourself before you do for others but your individual stability depends on the stability of the community for which you could not survive without so you help the people around you but that help is based on egoism.
Some food for thought there! I like the idea of small individual changes that we can all make, less consumerism and more interaction with our local communities for starters.
It took me years to find something good as it is. Considering that I live in Russia. But finally RUclips got a pity on me and suggested this video. It is amazing. Thank you guys and thanks to RUclips.
Maybe...but I also think people are wrapped up in victim hood....the west has been addicted since the 50's consumerist pied piper turned up...medicating people on mass...was a people management decision....recently here in Australia...they banned plastic bags...people became so angry they abused and assaulted supermarket workers....so they brought plastic bags back....people have been infantised and thus act like infants...the state must find ways to deal with this....or expect unrest...if you don't think for yourself...eg grow the fuck up and deal with no spending due to low employment ....and yes I live way below the poverty line myself, then the state will provide a solution(soma)...it doesn't mean that the state holds no responsibility in creating employment....but really they shouldn't have to micro manage your emotional state....like what is happening with the opiod addiction...I do understand people on the streets dosing themselves up and rightly so...it must be a nightmare on wheels...but this is a larger population of people in housing...that arnt 'dealing' with controlling their behaviour.
When out of country I came across a copy of his 1950’s out-Of-print Brave New World Revisited where he extrapolates with sober and prescient clarity our opiated, over-marketed, and psychologically manipulated XXIst. He had no idea what nuance AI will allow mind-f*ckers to toy with our ‘free will’.

I love how Russel asks for clarification on China buying the public with consumerism to avoid giving them democracy. It really shows that he is trying to learn rather than just talk for the sake of it.
A great interview, I felt quiet an ah moment as I ponder my situation. ...mostly I can't be bothered to change things. ... I go to to shopping center every day. meeting friends using free Wi-Fi and aircon, occasionally a free coffee! we have become so programed, and lazy... Fact is I am going to change.. I don't even know my neighbors. it seems people only come together when there is a crisis. . Thanks Russell and Jacques for inspiring me xxxxx
how's it going Veronica? making those changes? it aint easy - and yet it is easy, and yet it is not.... what matters is to recognise the gradual process which when you look back may be seen to be a landslide ( hopefully in the right direction!!!)
You have been conditioned deliberately, the world around you that you see has been deliberately constructed by psychological warfare, so you do not see the truth. You need to raise your level of consciousness to free your mind. Question everything ! In the German prison camps the water was flouridated, as flouride suppresses the pineal gland and a person becomes dumbed down, is easy to control and will obey what they are told. Why do you think your drinking water is flouridated, along with your toothpaste.
Makes you really take a second look at our reality and not listen to what people and media is telling you to believe but to have a thought of your own. So much for those so called crazy conspiracy people being crazy 😝 they were all right. It’s humbling
Those "SciFilms" were actually "Predictive Programming" and were not a coincidence. Program/implant the sub-conscious human mind with thoughts/ideas/agendas through media & entertainment so that when they execute these agendas/events in our reality, humanity would acquiesce to those events without any resistance. Those CIA human psychological experiments during 1930s, 40s were for this. Also "Predictive Programming" and "Collective Manifestation" goes hand in hand. This is "Occult" knowledge and also the fundamentals based on which our Quantum universe works and how "Reality" is manifested in our 3rd Density (physical) world.
Private central banks are the main problem, why governments give private banks the power to print money & lend it back at interest & banks rule the world
The problem is the people who control the gold cause the gold is money everything else is credit like JP MORGAN said long time ago most of the gold in the world are government properties in US everything is privet even the government ..!

We ponder all the time how are we to cure terrible disease mutations viruses. How often do we wonder exactly were the %#@$ did they come from? Were they just always here hiding under a rock in some deep mine waiting to be found by somone searching for precious minerals or metals. Did they fall from the heavens?

When I was a child we only had tv and we played in nature, our soul as kids was touched by nature .. Now kids grow up with Virtual reality, so much access to technology.

Governments like the US and UK do not NEED tax revenue to function, they only need tax collection as the legal "backing" of the currency. Instead of a Law which says govt will exchange gold rocks for Dollars or Pounds at a fixed price, which sets up the requirement of a so-called balanced budget, i.e. extreme austerity, we simply have Laws that say you must pay any tax liabilities and govt will accept/redeem its own issued domestic liabilities (currency) to settle tax liabilities.

i do not think that someone asking a question about why another person chooses to do something, giving reasons for their opinion, and offering reasonable alternatives is foolish. they never said that they had to to do it - they were merely asking why they weren't. you may not agree with the heart of the comment but answering a question with another question (along with an insult) does not add much to the discussion.
@@dlwseattle It definitely is foolish, when you consider the answer is simple and should be common sense. Scarcity.

While there may be some truth to the belief that "the phrase “conspiracy theory” was popularized in the 1960s by the CIA to discredit those who dared to question the Warren Commission" is accurate, the CIA certainly did not create the term.
In any case, whether you're 'woke' or not, the meaning of the term has variably changed over the decades, and the commonness has increased exponentially in the most recent 2 decades. I would argue, that the true meaning of the term/phrase is largely dependent on who is speaking about it.

Guess I'm lucky. Two guys I live with in our flat share similar points of view. We don't agree on everything but the general consensus is its all a bit fucked.
Medicating people to endure a life where they feel they have to stay on the hamster wheel to survive is no life. Everything is connected and the economic paradigm needs to change radically. Prof Cary Cooper is another excellent source of information.
Alex, this is why my hamster ran around the room free. Surely, I had to be very VERY CAREFUL where I went in the room. She was trained to use the little toilet inside the cage. Her former cage was the bathroom. But truth be told the hamster was able to g under the door and go throughout the house. I found this out later.

in the economic department think Basic Income to lay a floor of civility that liberates people and balances an otherwise barbaric globalizing society.
in the political department find a representative formula for democracy better than the party-system (like sortition or direct democracy)
in general it is essential to organize and plan the alternatives like a pro, without relying on government.
Immediacy is the problem, Alex.
Born in the fifties, we didn't have the spoils that have corrupted our world. I paid my own university costs, worked late spring and summers, took a year off working to save money, found cheap bedroom suites during the school and work year. I spent as little as possible; my focus was my future.
Once working (a teacher) I put every penny possible to pay off my university debts. After debts were payed-off (4 years and a bit) I continued to save as much as possible; to spend as little as I could.... (University was not the expense then, as it is now! Criminal!)
I married, but we had no children and then went our own ways. I continued to live the simple life (renting a room rather than the cost, expenses and other problems of owning, then) retiring age 60. Still I lived frugally waiting until all pensions came, age 65, but enjoying the time with no responsibilities, meditating on life, agenda-free getting used to total freedom from the rat-race.
I am 68 so now I travel, continue to live in my house-trailer home in BC paradise, in a corner of Powel River, an Island in a rainforest (it rarely rains when the sun is up; three sides of the TH look at water and/or ancient forest). I have learned to be fully in charge of my life, which takes some time after years of work and even retirement, to become a-customised.
I never felt so free before, which probably gave me focus and a penchant against wasting time or the penny. I have always enjoyed my time out at a movie, pubs and camping holidays, but a frugal life has given me a secure retirement with possibilities to travel the great ancient sites of our wonderful world. This December to the Pyramids I begin my visits of ancient sights that are beyond wonder! How did the ancients move those massive rocks that we cannot move today, even with our best machinery!
My tale is extreme, but the trick is to think like the Chinese (I am Caucasian but like to study, learn from other cultures). So, spend as little as possible, challenge yourself, save and invest. WE never know what the future has in store . . . so save & plan for for any emergency.
There are alternative possibilities to what the two chatterboxes present in this video discussion. Choose to defy the path of the herd; and be wiser from each trial on your travels in this great universe.
We are, have been and will be again. This universe is all we have and it of forever: it is not expanding, not one iota of information (material is also information) is destroyed beyond change. Every moment brings change.
Namaste and care,
mhikl

Loved everything I heard here but at 37:00 when they talk about the hunter gatherer as being individualistic, that’s actually incorrect. Hunter gatherer societies were always altruistic because if you and your family have killed a deer and you find some other group who’s hungry, you would feed them. This is because you couldn’t keep the meat for yourself and because someday you’ll be hungry and in need of help
Correct, Humanity survived due to the ability to collaborate. If we were to have lived in constant state of aggressive, cut throat competition, we would of never have made it out of the cave.
Peter Joseph's book The New Human Rights Movement shows a way for collaboration like that in the modern world.
@@singingway I very much appreciate any of Peter Joseph' work. Can you imagine how much better off we would be as a species if collaboration was our mode of operation. Peter Joseph did an interview with the sassy Jimmy Dore that is worth watching. Your kung Fu collaboration was fun and enjoyable also.
@@singingway Peter Joseph is a genius in my opinion.
Hunter gatherers practiced qualified egoism. Do for yourself before you do for others but your individual stability depends on the stability of the community for which you could not survive without so you help the people around you but that help is based on egoism.
Some food for thought there! I like the idea of small individual changes that we can all make, less consumerism and more interaction with our local communities for starters.
It took me years to find something good as it is. Considering that I live in Russia. But finally RUclips got a pity on me and suggested this video. It is amazing. Thank you guys and thanks to RUclips.
Drug the masses to keep them happy is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World in a nutshell.
Maybe...but I also think people are wrapped up in victim hood....the west has been addicted since the 50's consumerist pied piper turned up...medicating people on mass...was a people management decision....recently here in Australia...they banned plastic bags...people became so angry they abused and assaulted supermarket workers....so they brought plastic bags back....people have been infantised and thus act like infants...the state must find ways to deal with this....or expect unrest...if you don't think for yourself...eg grow the fuck up and deal with no spending due to low employment ....and yes I live way below the poverty line myself, then the state will provide a solution(soma)...it doesn't mean that the state holds no responsibility in creating employment....but really they shouldn't have to micro manage your emotional state....like what is happening with the opiod addiction...I do understand people on the streets dosing themselves up and rightly so...it must be a nightmare on wheels...but this is a larger population of people in housing...that arnt 'dealing' with controlling their behaviour.
Trump saying to "buy truckloads" of the new approved ketomine drug for the masses hmm...
When out of country I came across a copy of his 1950’s out-Of-print Brave New World Revisited where he extrapolates with sober and prescient clarity our opiated, over-marketed, and psychologically manipulated XXIst. He had no idea what nuance AI will allow mind-f*ckers to toy with our ‘free will’.

You have been conditioned deliberately, the world around you that you see has been deliberately constructed by psychological warfare, so you do not see the truth. You need to raise your level of consciousness to free your mind. Question everything !

Great show but scary as hell .... The SciFi films of our youth are now reality 😳

Makes you really take a second look at our reality and not listen to what people and media is telling you to believe but to have a thought of your own. So much for those so called crazy conspiracy people being crazy 😝 they were all right. It’s humbling
Those "SciFilms" were actually "Predictive Programming" and were not a coincidence. Program/implant the sub-conscious human mind with thoughts/ideas/agendas through media & entertainment so that when they execute these agendas/events in our reality, humanity would acquiesce to those events without any resistance. Those CIA human psychological experiments during 1930s, 40s were for this.

This is the real issue at hand.

The problem is the people who control the gold cause the gold is money everything else is credit like JP MORGAN said long time ago most of the gold in the world are government properties in US everything is privet even the government ..!
Boyan Tringov gold doesn’t have real value either. It’s mainly speculative capital investment that gives gold its value. It only has minimal real value in electronics and such as a conductor.
DUB1ification the entire private banking industry is predicated on usury. The only way to avoid being victims of usury is to nationalize and democratize our currency.

Money only goes so far when corporations like Amazon are in bed with the Military and get special subsidies. They collect data for the Intelligence empire. This is oligarchy! Not a product of a free market but product of being above the law! We must protect liberty so we can innovate and compete

Instead of a Law which says govt will exchange gold rocks for Dollars or Pounds at a fixed price, which sets up the requirement of a so-called balanced budget, i.e. extreme austerity, we simply have Laws that say you must pay any tax liabilities and govt will accept/redeem its own issued domestic liabilities (currency) to settle tax liabilities.

i do not think that someone asking a question about why another person chooses to do something, giving reasons for their opinion, and offering reasonable alternatives is foolish. they never said that they had to to do it - they were merely asking why they weren't. you may not agree with the heart of the comment but answering a question with another question (along with an insult) does not add much to the discussion.

@@dlwseattle It definitely is foolish, when you consider the answer is simple and should be common sense. Scarcity.
