Naomi says "know your history"... that's very important... so important that schools no longer teach it... not knowing your history is one of the best ways to "dumb down" a society.
And Trump is the embodiment of what happens when we dont teach Real History and dont educate our people better by funding it,,,this "dumbing down" of America.... Who voted for him ?? The majority were Under Educated white males.....and they are still backing him even though he hasnt kept one promise he made without bastardizing it into a rich persons gain game,..
The worst is yet to come. Truth. Words like Orwellian and Apocalyptic come to mind. America has been given a choice, live the half life of a worker drone and debt slave, or fight the fight and probably find yourself in a body bag or in prison. We had a chance but America slept through it all. Really I see no daylight, no possible way to avoid the fate that awaits us.
Dan Harris Everything stated by Naomi Klein was remarkably eloquent. Smart and Powerful Men know how to get flattery from Women without blatant mendacity. The larger issue here is that the American Government is a direct reflection of the American Citizenry. Donald Trump is nothing more than a Mirror of what American Culture and American Society actually is. The Electorate voted for, went along with, supported, and bears full responsibility for where we find ourselves. What's been brought forward really is another useful distraction from the real issues that the Political Indentured Servants on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue aren't allowed to tell anyone (i.e. the Healthcare Rabbithole). The World really is laughing and shaking their heads at America, I can hardly contain my laughter and jubilation either 😃. Donald Trump put lipstick on a pig 🐖 and went to sell it to someone who didn't know what they were buying. He sold Gold-plated promises and a bill of goods to the Electorate that has the same value as a Degree from Trump University, and it was bought Hook Line and Sinker. The only difference between Bernie Madoff and Donald Trump is who's sitting in the Oval Office. America's Foreign Affairs is in Shambles due to the failure of our blood soaked American Imperialism, Our American Economic and Monetary Development is in Collapse since our Money is worth nothing more than playing a Monopoly game, and our $20 Trillion Dollar Debt cesspool. The American Government cannot serve the needs or interests of the American Citizenry since the Corporations, the Military Industrial Complex, K Street Lobbyists and AIPAC made sure that Washington DC is Corporate Occupied Territory. An American Government cannot fail those it was never meant to serve...
P. Hamilton. I hope It's not too late for you to say you are sorry. This situation will affect you and your love ones, unless you are a male billionarie caucasian, which I doubt you are. We are cockaraches for trump, we mean nothing to him, and when I say "we", I'm talking about about the 99% of the population of this country.
Very important to point out that yes, Trump is favoring the companies that buy weapons from us like Saudi Arabia, but this has been US foreign policy under Republicans for almost 40 years. Trump is simply more clumsy about it.
It´s been the policy of both wings. Excluding the democratic party from this is dangerous and will only lead you to complacency because "if my side does it it´s ok".
Every news service needs to watch and heed the warnings of this woman and the people need to remember that this our country not theirs. As Americans we are stronger than them.
TRUMP is America he is a TRUE FATHER to this country. He is fighting those who have tried to enslave us. This fight is bigger than America; if you were AWAKE you might know that.
I knew the second night of the republican convention what trump was so wouldn't of voted for if he was running against King Kong . don't own whar53% of what those woman voted for nor can I imagine what could of possibility motivated them to do so.
P Denise Gray: Your remark is about the stupidest thing I have seen on You Tube. Trump will only be the father of the country after he fucks all the women of the country. It won't be happening. He's a 70 year old orange nightmare and he is destroying our government. Your comments seem to me to be moronic.
Some don't give Dump the credit he deserves.He may be a buffoon,a clown and childish. BUT he is a 71 yo. child who Idealizes the ways of Dictators.take him,and the damage he can/has cause, seriously
And we should be filling the streets to protest the fact that he's still in the White House!! He can't even respect his own country. Now he's calling the White House "a dump"!!! So why don't we kick him out!
@@Kolian1274 He didn't get fully impeached/ousted from office (in 2019), but the November 3 election is just around the corner and he will be voted OUT! They may need to use military force to drag him out of the WH (in January), though.
Ms Klein is very brave. She is urging people not to obey what will be called the law, rather to go into the streets and face the police and military forces that will be arrayed against protesters and resisters. She could be prevented from entering the US in the future, or she could be arrested in the US by the military and indefinitely detained under the NDAA.
I hope she's arrested if she's riling up violence in the name of peace and working to end Western Civilization because she can't handle that her preferred favor of tyrant isn't in office and we're not going to be reducing everything and everyone to the least common denominator in the name of equality.
I remember the Raul Julia character from "Kiss of the Spider Woman." He was a political prisoner. I didn't understand then in the eighties how that could happen. I never thought Americans could find themselves in the same position as Raul Julia.
one thing I think we can all agree on is not getting rid of the Clean Water Act why would anyone in their right mind do this. if anyone has a good explanation I'd love to hear it
Trump eliminating our clean water is how they'll eliminate the poor... it's happening right now in flint Michigan. Snyder is a awful human it's these tea party republicans that will do anything for $$$$ they don't care how they get it, even if it kills citizens.
You need to watch this again & really listen people!! It's not too late, YET!! If you are a defeatist then it will be, because you'll stay in your house like the good pet they want you to be!! "NOT ON MY WATCH, NOT AS LONG AS I BREATH"!!
Naomi suggests we need a "better model". A bold vision. For example, indicting traitors and criminals who gerrymander and take over public resources and offices.
Horrors like Manchester happen every other week in America, to a greater or lesser extent. It's just that there not classified as terrorist attacks. Just someone else with a gun and a grudge.
Interesting in that the three crises she mentioned in the US - WWII - Japanese internment, The Great Depression - the Mexican expulsions, and hurricane Katrina - the brunt of it adversely impacting the African American community long term, they were all reflecting upon the repercussions on people of color. She says these experieces were absorbed and keep alive within their communities, but was not "metabolized into the American consciousness". That says to me that the real issue is that when talking about "American consciousness" here, the focus is on WHITE American consciousness. Period. And that's a deep root of problem. It's the same as the media focusing on how the "heartland" America feels/thinks, as if they are the ONLY "real" Americans, and people in other parts of the country are somewhat "less" American. Red/blue, POC/white... the biggest dividing tool in this country is about the few that have (and are taking more by hook or crook), and the have-nots....and the more we focus on the lesser divisions l, the less focus is on that "top tier" fattening their purses and ruining our nation and our planet!!! I agree with her to follow the M. O. N. E. Y. That's where the trail will always lead.
Windsingerful: good comment...I agree. Interesting to note who REALLY started the African slave trade in America...the upper NORTHeastern coastal cities...the WEALTHY cargo ship owners/bankers/money-changers...and then it worked its way down to the southern port cities of Charleston and Savannah. I'm from the south...and slavery was WRONG, however, Northerners also owned slaves. Let's not forget what happened to the Native American Indians...nobody every mentions them. They were nearly exterminated and were robbed of their land, resources, and culture. America has a dark history that most do not know. You are RIGHT in saying that we need to stick together as the 99% of true Americans vs the 1% "money changers." They are the AUTHORS of chaos, "divide and conquer," human enslavement, lies, wars and genocide.
Windsingerful all this is marxists looking to destroy the us by coopting the minorities, the way they coopted the peasants in the 20th c. Look how that turned out. Starvstion, war, death, destruction.
Windsingerful its not races who get abused, its poor people. Western Values, starting with Magna Carta brought opportunity for people to own land....the cornerstone of independence. Big State is trying and succeding to take that away.
Mother Earth is the one player that has been left out of this theorizing. Kline has re-won my respect with "No", in spite of "This Changes Everything" (written after everything had changed). My thirty years of study of climate and the cryosphere suggest that, at the very least, exponential sea level rise has emerged as one of the most serious problems (for the moment) humanity has to face. If you are not paying close attention you are missing this point. Also, a companion to sea level rise is the increased level of disastrous storms that could even open the door to "category 6" hurricanes. The DoD is keenly aware that global warming, as a threat multiplier, has emerged as the number one threat to national security. Pay attention to what the military is preparing for. There is no debate about global warming there. They will not willingly sacrifice their mission for silly debates over opinions about facts.
This was a very good analysis of Naomi Klein. People have enormous power, it is not enough to complain and make cunning sayings. Millions of Americans are affected by this policy. These millions could fill the streets and squares of the country and demonstrate disobedience.The only question is, are you ready? Before someone asks. I am a German, born in East Germany, and I was there in 1989 when our government was overthrown. Only the will of men for change and persistence led to the goal.
We are awake & that is why we voted for TRUMP. Soros is paying people to start discourse & obstruction with his admin cause his puppet Hillary lost. Do research.
I guess where you got your 'wisdom'. Breitbart News and Info Wars. And you're talking about Soros as if he could control millions of people. Even right-wing nationalists are now grasping that Trump and his government are anything but good for the US. You seem to be either a bot, or just stupid. But thanks for your comment, I laughed very much.
You can't seem to recognize the wrecking crew Trump has installed as his cabinet. They have the common man on the chopping block. If you can't see this, you are really dense.
I so agree with this, however, what's to keep this madman from siccing the militarized police and National guard from opening fire? Thinking of Standing Rock.
Most people erroneously believe that veterans blindly support GOP 'leadership'. We don't. Most veterans - especially the younger generations - are independent thinkers. They have critical thinking skills; they objectively assess personnel and situations. There are enough independent thinkers in our active duty military to prevent gross abuse of power. Younger veterans are trained to NOT follow unlawful orders; they know how and when to correctly challenge anyone who misuses their position of authority. Their strongest loyalty is to the American public - not individual leaders. Blind authoritarianism no longer rules our United States military. The professionalism, integrity, and espirit de corps of our all-volunteer military has never been stronger. They protect and serve the American public because they choose to - not because they were drafted. Diversity is our strength. Hope is our unity. E pluribus unum (out of the many - one); this is the motto of the United States of America.
Nicolas Martin , you’re a propagandist or maybe you’re sincere and just misinformed . It’s only the media and the American propaganda machine/government that made Chavez horrible since American government tried to over throw him and his nationalist/populous policies. The excellent independent reporter Greg Palast debunked that Ati-Chavez rhetoric and was in Venezuela when the American Coup took place in real time!!! Read his books!! It tell all about it. Along with ‘ Confessions of an Economic Hitman’ by John Perkins. Watch his interviews and s peaches and he explains why the west hated Chavez. Be well.
Nicolas Martin, you can't fix stupid. This video has put scales on the eyes of the left and they bought it to the point the socialists have taken over Congress. Look how the abortion crises exploded beyond it's evil roots since the election of these liberals that took power last month. And yet they dare to point fingers at President Trump? I don't want my country to turn into into another Venezuela and yet the AOC puppets are trying to make it happen but, they are too drunk on the koolaid to see it. God help us.
She'd have to go first, there;s teh rub. 2018 has proven the only people who need to be afraid of Trump are the bad guys. www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/manafort-indictment-shows-that-mueller-is-a-fraud/ar-AAueK8z www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/28073-media-smother-indictment-in-clinton-obama-uranium-one-russia-deal
This is a nice rundown of what would have happened if the Neo-Liberal/Neo-Con Clinton had been elected. Klein probably would have been her communications director through it all.
Have been watching the US intently from Australia and one thing that struck me the most is the current engagement of its citizens. I truly believe there is a ground swell of a strong and developing democracy from the grass roots up. Many of you are commenting on the political discourse of your country. No longer lead blindly by big parties who believe you can easily be but finding and using your voices. It's inspiring. When I think of the US at this moment in history, I think of its people. It reminds me of a particular part of President Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, which said, - "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Take back your country by demanding accountability, working together and utilising effectively, democratic processes including your vote. For you are the people and its you who will make America great again.
Cynthia Madrigal democracy now, occupydemocrats, exist to spread their dogma most of it the exact opposite of the reality.and they know it. They just dont want the mob psyche to know. Its really evil.
Ms.Klein is clearly very informed and approaches the problems in a detached and objective manner. We desperately need more like her in positions of government and/or influence. The American electorate essentially fell asleep about 20-25 years ago, due to several significant social and cultural impacts: The obscene infatuation with President Regan by the upper 1% - the Koch brothers type folks fed up with paying higher taxes, and a recognition of a friendly face in Washington - along with an emerging social movement driven by fear of the influence of drugs, declines in religious membership and bolstered by a confidence derived from the easy victory in Gulf War 1. This token fight allowed us as a nation to reinvest in our nation/image and gave impetus to an effort to return to earlier ways of governing and social guides. "Bring back the good old days" in this case meant a return to an ultra conservative and religious oriented form of social order, but one that concentrated on the enrichment of the 1% at the expense of the truly needy. Some of this involved encroachment on long held social and religious values such as a ban on same sex relationships, the entire LGBT community, and of course the issue of a woman's right to control her own body. We also see the direct result of movement by the ultra right in the Supreme Court ruling that gave us George Bush instead of Al Gore, and the application of the new GOP control of American politics in the consequences of 9/11. The well known political laziness of most Americans when it comes to taking direct action regarding politics also allowed further inroads by the far right and the emergence of media distribution of the ultra conservative message through outlets such as Fox, Levin, Hannity, and the like. There is a vast and unfortunately growing portion of our society committed to self induced paranoia regarding the possible consequences of what they perceive as an eventual failure of life as we know it, a direct result of their fear of what they perceive as dark moving forces that conspire to destroy all we hold dear - rather like a self-fulfilling prophecy: we know it is all going to fail so we act accordingly and sure enough it fails. In the mean time, we see a demagogue such as a Trump who uses the same tools as Hitler, the same kinds of propaganda, even found himself a scapegoat in both Muslims and to a lesser degree Latinos. All of this plays to the inherent fears of a certain portion of our world, about 30% +/- here, more or less elsewhere, a base that will follow him no matter how many lies he tells: they do not have anywhere or anyone else available to lead them. In the mean time, Trump and his cronies are doing all they can to implement the strategic changes they desire, EPA, Education, Health, Tax "Reform" aka tax cuts for the ultra wealthy at the expense of health coverage of the neediest among us - all entitlements if possible. And what can be done? Unfortunately, the awful reality is we have to encourage a Republican controlled Congress to impeach and remove a Republican President, and in turn allow a truly messed up religious nut job to take over in his stead. The only true answer is to make sure Democrats take over the Congress in 2018 and the Presidency in 2020. If we survive in the mean time. Trump will do anything to remain in power up to and including a war with Korea and/or Iran.
David Stewart Pence scares the shit out of me. Yes, Trump could send us into war, but Pence will rot our country from the inside out. People are really into "the Handmaid's Tale" right now thanks to its discussion of women's rights. What they SHOULD be afraid of are the themes of religious fundamentalism turning the US into a theocracy. Pence and co. won't change the political system, but they will tip the scale toward a particular group, who may assert themselves as the nation's religion. No progressive president would dare try to overturn religious liberties in 2020 and the Supreme Court is run by conservatives who vote "the Christian way." We are screwed as a secular society for decades if the religious continue to get their way. Acquit the entire succession! RESIST!
No argument Ms. Sweet - great name BTW- one has to wonder just what Trump saw in Pence to select him as a running mate in the first place eh? I get ill when I hear him say "well of course not" which seems to be his favorite expression. As bad as DT is you can actually look at his face and eyes and tell when he is lying - of course, all the practice he gets and we get watching him certainly helps too. But Lordy, Pence is a master of the trade - he is soooo smooth, great "leader" voice, much better than DT come to it - but this clown does not eat lunch with another woman - my God, what is he going to do, attack the poor woman due to intense sexual frustration? Of course, you look at Mrs. Pence .........moving right along, I distrust people who use their religious convictions as a shield against all discussion - it is like "god" can answer all questions, solve all problems etc., and so what happened to free will? Belief is and of a right ought to be, private. If one's salvation depends on how loudly one screams one's "gods'" name, then the individual clearly has bigger problems than faith. If that individual is an Islamic terrorist, we tend to pretty much expect what they will do; when the individual is the President, frankly, I am terrified. There was a very good reason our Founders insisted on "Freedom of Religion" which actually translated as Freedom FROM Religion. My theological beliefs are a matter of my personal relationship with the deity to which I pledge my ultimate salvation. Or not I don't need some SS want-a-be telling me how to live, or what my daughter can or can not do with her body, based on his superstitious unquestioning nonsense. My wife saw him walking across the tarmac of some airport with a brief case, and she said she flashed to some film she had seen where a Nazi officer was walking and carrying a case the same way. Silly? Sure. On the other hand, picture this dude in a close fitting black uniform with cavalry boots, etc., .... give me the creeps. :)
David Stewart. You need to run for office. you seem well informed and passionate about sanity in politics. you'd probably win! I think we need 24 house seats next year to gain power in the house. Get snapping!!!
Oh and stopping Net Neutrality will be a tool. Think a/b it if the autocrats stop instant communication rallies/political gatherings could be made moot b/c of lack of communication.
Ms. Klein hits a home run with this treatise. Accurate and concise, this should be at least heard, if not read, by everyone in the media and anyone who is having trouble understanding the reality , the gravity, of this "situation" we all find ourselves in.
johnmburt1960 she should NOT. We were so far downhill if anyone but Trump had won we'd have been finished off. She's so not. Copied pasted; As a writer watching it baffles me how democrats can bag on this 70 year old man that's done more for his country in 10 months than Obama in 8 years. Jobs up Economy up Black unemployment rate lowest in history Isis decimated Manufacturing jobs added Bonuses given Apple bringing back $250 BILLION Chase adding jobs Wal-Mart passing out bonuses... Stock market indices skyrocketing Naomi would be in the way We'd be going nowhere, again.
johnmburt1960 That's so total propaganda. Obama did not do that, not only couldnt but wasn't for us. Even when they release the memo some will be so invested in their belief they will have to rationalize it away. Endlessly. And I don't have all day. Davos. The machine will spin anything and sadly people will buy it. Thank god he won.
oh that's very toxic. But anyway, about Davos; ruclips.net/video/4rLR4ipaY9M/видео.html I guess you didn't see? my alumni was there: www.cmu.edu/world-economic-forum/ we're real smart. trust me. Trump's tax cuts resulted in the repatriation of big co's like apple, chrysler, etc, driving unemployment down, jobs up. plus other things trump did reversed the trend; removing trade restrictions, sanctions, tariifs... Obama was the continuation of bush and hilly was to be the cont. of Obama. globalists, they had other plans for us, til now. Now they try to spin the successes and take the credit. It was Obama Hilly who armed Iran, ISIS, sent pallets of cash at night Leave it to CNN to turn it around. ISIS is almost gone and it wasn't O who did it. BUt I don't think you can accept anything at this point, but: Heres the 13 more countries' ceos, even more jobs and money to be pumped into OUR economy. ruclips.net/video/4rLR4ipaY9M/видео.html Obama did not have a thing to do with it. and if you don't believe yet, here's one the top intl. economists, runs geneva institute, in my fam., endorsing trump: morally and financially. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/odiousness-ratings-public-debt-by-ricardo-hausmann-and-ugo-panizza-2017-08?barrier=accessreg You are not more knowledgable than they are. or whoever's been telling you that. Trump constantly says he's for us, and is proving it. That's the platform he ran on and won, he's with Us, while hilly's just the opposite; I'm with her. And - what memo?? where have you been!!?? No Wonder you don't know/ media doesn't want you to know anything. i cannot help you any more than that, you have to detach from the media brainwash, they are owned by globalists. Soros, obama, hill. DNC are synonymous.
Yet when it has come to the Republican tax reforms the Democratic leadership has been very very quiet. The fiscal conservatives of both parties have been very quiet. This thing will have a lot of impact on older women, women of color and poor women but the feminist have been strangely quiet. Liberal of today are only liberal when it comes to non-economic issue that have little or no impact on corporations and the 1 percent.
Sorry it took me time to get back to you. Generally speaking when the Republicans get in control they do three things. The first thing is that they lower taxes. It is on the promise it will create more jobs. Whether it does or not, that is up to debate. The second thing they do is start spending more. Republicans have this reputation that they are fiscally conservative but generally when in power the like to spend like drunken sailors. (That is how they do income redistribution.) The result is that suddenly we have these big debts with smaller revenues because of the tax cuts. Eventually with the smaller revenues are pretty much servicing the interest on the debt. (More income redistribution.) This is where we get to part three which the Republicans blame the Democrats and the social entitlement programs for creating the problems. Unlike my fellow Democrats with no solutions the Republicans will propose cut back on the entitlements, the social net, social security, VA, Medicare and Medicaid, and if not cut back not to allow the to expand because as we all know poor people should not be helped in their view point. Unlike Russiagate, Obamacare and Me-2, the tax cuts have big consequences on things like Medicaid expansion, for example, which will have a big impact on the quality of medical care FOR EVERYONE because it will mean say fewer hospitals and availability of special care for things like mammograms, MRIs and breast cancer treatment, etc. It may mean women who are not working or retired will not have access a doctor close by. In the case of single parent families, meaning women mostly, they won’t pay for child health care services or there will not places for women to go to get health before giving birth. If you are an older woman, too, if you have a stroke and need assisted medical care that might not be available because it is suddenly too expensive. If you need help paying for child birth, that will probably get cut. Programs to help battered women get cut, too. Programs to help women get retraining, those get cut, too. We don’t have a lot of poverty with older people who are largely women because of the kinds of programs we have to help them. FYI, it is not very pro-life. Does this help?
eottoe2001 That " tax scam as you call it directly resulted in apple and the other co.,s repatriating here driving unemp down jobs up. Along w/other factors, removing trade restrictions, adding tariffs. He was a hit at Davos. 13 more countries on board. Obama was the continuation of bush, hilly was to be cont. of Obama, all globalist. Trump broke it.
A dark cloud is spreading across our country and it will bring us to our knees. We never learn. The biggest threat, is our delusion that it can't happen here.
IT'S INTERESTING TO READ OOPS SORRY. It's interesting to read all the comments this program has brought forward, especially by ColdFlu. He(?) reminds me of Trump's techinique of arousing the negetive impulses of the human psyche to draw attention to himself and distract you from his true intent. Trump's a master at it, he's had a lifetime of practice. ColdFlu's comment has received an enormous amount of response mostly from what I would judge as reasonable people. Some start out reasonable but eventually begin to stoop to his level. INTERESTING. Think how much of your precious lifetime you have wasted responding to this negative comment. Naomi Klein dedicated an enormous amount of her lifetime to wake you up to the oncoming Tsunami that is our failing government and the intent of foriegn influences on it. If this is important to you then how do we shaw up the cracks in the wall which is our amazing Country. How many of you have attended a City/Town meeting or run for a counsel seat? How many letters or emails have you sent to your elected officials about your concerns? Stop falling for the distractions. Remember our elected officials work for us, not the other way around. We have the right to 'FIRE THEM!' Have a nice day and follow your bliss.
Excellent read! Unfortunately, USA is unable to read more than max 28 words making it impossible for anyone to get through with actual reason and arguments to more than 5 out of 1000 people on RUclips :(
Ss&Js, I cannot believe the amount of work you put into a post on stupid YouTub; however, at least you've documented your sources. I shall check them out to see whether they deserve further inspection. Till then, I shall not like nor dislike your comments, though they appear quite troubling & repulsive to me. Zionism is one thing, but to blame all Jews is quite the other. If these are actual quotes by notables, then I must add that none of the Jews I've grown up or fellowship w/ knows about this. Some, yes, but the rest, no. Churchill lost his credibility in his endorsements of racial superiority & negative eugenix. Solzhenitsyn's had his nose rubbed into his remarks w/ no response that I know of anywhere. As for the rest, I must check their validity before I comment further. I hope you're wrong, just another shill hiding behind a pseudonym. Trouble is, those larvae don't document, just spew.
{sigh} I never thought that 2017 was the USA's expiration date. America lasted around 250 years I hope that the Trump Flamethrower won't burn it down completely.....
ruclips.net/video/Nkns8In6jH4/видео.html So we now have the stock market making everyone with a 401(K) tons of money, economy at 4% GDP, unemployment at a 20 year low, companies giving their employees $1,000 bonuses, and everyone will be taking home more money starting in a couple weeks. Wait.....why the hell are these people so pissed at Trump?? Bc The Storm. An exec order passed Dec 20 to round up the criminals pedos human rights abusers hidingg behind anti Trump campaign. All about their own power and their own greed.
Anthony Nycholas dont worry have you heard of the storm? The exec order Dec 20 - google it. Thats why they had to make up stuff like Russia did it (seth rich did it) the long list of accomplishments media forgets to mention... Search Assange on youtube "44 is traitor" Media Never mentions Assange who helped defeat them. Media and the left=same thing.
Sean Patrick No this is why they were making all that noise, trying to throw the blame back on the Preaident. Obama and Hill in the shadows causing trouble. ruclips.net/video/5sn__cS9TmQ/видео.html Not going down quietly but going down anyway. Meanwhile we are doing so well in only one year. We aren't burning.
"The worst is yet to come" for anti-Trumpists means, Trump gets to fulfil his promises to the American people, and thus becomes one of the greatest US president in recent times.
Hasn't filled one of his lies. All he's done is screw the majority of Americans. Hell, even if he gets his wall built, we're paying billions for it instead of Mexico. How could anybody believe this clown?
Ah... ok, so all the financial markets are all stupid for "believing this clown" right? For some people nothing will work. It is called a "mental block". Some women cannot forgive Trump for being elected instead of a woman, they hate him for this. Some effeminate men, feel their own masculinity is ridiculed by the success of 'traditional masculinity', they hate him for that. DT's winning goes against everything they were taught in the last 20-30 years. Therefore, instead of questioning what they were taught, they turn Trump into a voodoo, and stick needles in it. (Needles = everything that's wrong in their lives.)
elena, He promised to drain the swamp;. Hillary was just indicted 11 counts and a lot more to come. So he kept his promise. and all this too, www.conservativedailynews.com/2017/08/trumps-accomplishments-so-far-and-they-are-many/ if you keep watching mass media you won't know a thing. like, how the media was paid by fusion gps to say what they were told to say? abcnews.go.com/US/manhattan-da-investigators-raid-newsweek-media-groups-offices/story?id=52450271abcnews.go.com/US/manhattan-da-investigators-raid-newsweek-media-groups-offices/story?id=52450271 ruclips.net/video/sGOjYHh9rpQ/видео.html John you have no idea either so this is for you too, if youre even real and not a disinfo ops. all these links.
This is an impressively concise, well-informed and well-spoken handbook on public disobiedience, which is a keystone of democracy. Another keystone is of course being informed, and there I really think we are, all of us, pretty much screwed. With hundreds of tv-shows, sports events, comedies, and other white noise to happily distract us, it's fearfully easy for us to be ignorant when important information is freely available. If it sounds like I am exagerating: pick any YT video on politics. Go through the comments and count how many of them are just repetitions of the usual slurs which haven't even anything to do with what was said in the video.
"The People United Will Never Be Defeated"!!!! America you have fought and shed blood for your freedom, make sure you dont loose this freedom for no man!!! Your Children deserve a better future.
America is a Republic not a Democracy...I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
This is so good! It's incredibly important to know our own history, understand long-term political strategies, and to utilize qualified experts: authors, news sources, speakers...
Thankfully Naomi Klein is Canadian, married to a great Canadian journalist (Avi) who is the son of Stephen Lewis, the former NewDemocratParty leader and torch-bearer of Tommy Douglas who founded the NDP Party and the single payer health care system that Canada has enjoyed for over 60 years. Many Americans think Ms. Klein is American, perhaps because of her overwhelming concern and compassion for Americans who have been subjected to corporate governance for almost 50 years now. Like most Canadians, we hope in our hearts that Americans will soon experience governance like they did under Roosevelt, a government that was not beholden to the 1%, or in today's vernacular, the 12 or 20 corporations who run their country. Services that Roosevelt created under THE NEW DEAL policy inspired the world. If he had lived longer, a one-payer system in health-care would have almost certainly been active today. But American's who are not residents in the current 10% to 1% are convinced that the lottery is their savior; okay, I mean God, and then the lottery, because they are symbiotic. On the other hand, the 10 to 1% virtually loop-hole and hide themselves out of the system. lmagine Claude Rains--The Invisible Man-- living in Fort Knox, and you might get the picture. Their wealth is deified and they remain ghosts. They thrive and live tax-free while creating the lie, through the transparent media, on the left and on the right, that their wealth is earned through sweat and hard work. Those not in the same tax bracket as themselves are basically welfare bums, American Dream deniers who simply are too stupid and incompetent, lazy, ugly, unsavory and witless, greedy, brain-dead, gullible sloths who are dim-witted, fat, exploitable couch potatoes, feeble-minded in the bedroom and the board-room, and who are lucky if they have a wife that is fat-free and fuckable (don't worry, they would never want to fuck your loved ones unless there was a disappearance option put in writing). Fact is, no matter how much the low to middle class pay in taxes, how many hours they work, how much their wages stagnate, they will never pay their way out from under the 10 to 1% 's thumb, and their source of wealth: WARS. You're on the hook for that in perpetuity. And whims of those who's feet rarely touch the ground are very expensive. In other words, the 10 to 1% is completely ruled, signed, sealed, delivered, and maintained by men. The women are for the most part shirts, but better shirts than your sorry ass will ever be able to afford. And their shirts come in seasons, while the old shirts are sent packing with beautiful blouses and a handsome severance package that keeps their lips sealed and their memory more suspect than your 95 year old granny who was a human being, raised children who were not reliant on trust funds, and worked very hard her entire life. Her severance package was her medicare, and now the 10 to 1% want that too. Are you going to give it to them, America? I know what you are thinking: we already allow the richest 10 to 1% to tell the politicians they elect how many wars they need in the 3rd quarter so that Jimmy can cover the hush money needed for that sweet country girl, lets say from Wisconsin, who overheard his drunken, drug-induced ranting about his dear papa who greased a lot of D.C. palms and fired a Honduran maid who is now as invisible as Claude Rains. For some reason, I don't think she's doing as well as old Claude. Anyway, papa's new shirt needs a yacht and Yemen is looking a bit unruly, not to mention the fashion faux pas of that backwoods eyesore called Albania (or is it Algeria)? No matter. Depopulation is a band-aid that keeps on giving and giving and....you get the picture. But who's looking, right? I tend to have 20-20 vision when I see crimes, and, oddly enough, my hearing improves too. But this affliction is very rare in America. Eyes improve when something is blown into nonexistance because like the memory, unseeing is believing, especially when it pays twice your yearly salary and a trip to Disneyland that your now adult children will finally experience. But be careful, because there is a certain percentile (you know who) that will not be pleased that you benefited by simply keeping your mouth shut and eyes closed. Because you have just reinforced their near unbridled rage that manifests like boils every-time you have a free moment. And the notion that you still have access to the possibility of a second mortgage is definitely a bridge to far. But they calm themselves eventually, though begrudgingly, with the fact that you will never afford as many shirts or surgeries as they have, and your stress levels will almost certainly kill you before you ever see a dime of pension. Which soothes their husks, like a lamp-shade protecting its light from ever seeing that embarrassing tattoo. Yes, they have things to hide. Things to protect and a mask. Imagine how incredible the incredible 10 to 1% are that they incredibly get richer and richer and then richer every-time they unproduce something. Make stuff disappear. It's the American Dream made vacuously explicit. What bliss! Claude Rains must be reclining smugly in his gold plated slab.
India recently dismantled the RTI act, in the government induced choas of Kashmir. The RTI act gave powers to the common man to ask govt. question about anything via a independent body, and the govt. had to answer that question. Not any more. We need to unite. And ASAP.
We are seeing acts of resistance in the US already and it is giving me hope that reasonable Americans will come out of their houses to protest and reclaim their Democracy. The biggest opportunity to impact this corrupt and greedy Whitehouse will come in 2018. The mid-terms will be key in determining what kind of country the US will be. I am anxiously awaiting a reduction in my anxiety and stress levels and hope we are not engulfed in a world war as a result of Trump's inability to de-escalate political grandstanding by leaders in North Korea for example.
Clarity -- Concern -- Hope Naomi does a brilliant job in putting these troubled times into perspective. I just hope there's enough sane leadership in this country to put step #5 into play before the current "leadership" does long term, if not, irreparable damage.
oh hi - anyone watching this during corona?
Why in the world is THIS not being seen more now?!?
Naomi says "know your history"... that's very important... so important that schools no longer teach it... not knowing your history is one of the best ways to "dumb down" a society.
I agree. People need to know how the government works as well. Most people have very little knowledge of the system.
John Crippen they no longer teach goverment or proper U.S. history, but they now have gay and lesbian clubs for the kids so thats a plus.
And Trump is the embodiment of what happens when we dont teach Real History and dont educate our people better by funding it,,,this "dumbing down" of America.... Who voted for him ?? The majority were Under Educated white males.....and they are still backing him even though he hasnt kept one promise he made without bastardizing it into a rich persons gain game,..
Absolutely they don't want you to know!

The worst is yet to come. Truth. Words like Orwellian and Apocalyptic come to mind. America has been given a choice, live the half life of a worker drone and debt slave, or fight the fight and probably find yourself in a body bag or in prison. We had a chance but America slept through it all. Really I see no daylight, no possible way to avoid the fate that awaits us.
Dan Harris Everything stated by Naomi Klein was remarkably eloquent. Smart and Powerful Men know how to get flattery from Women without blatant mendacity. The larger issue here is that the American Government is a direct reflection of the American Citizenry. Donald Trump is nothing more than a Mirror of what American Culture and American Society actually is. The Electorate voted for, went along with, supported, and bears full responsibility for where we find ourselves. What's been brought forward really is another useful distraction from the real issues that the Political Indentured Servants on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue aren't allowed to tell anyone (i.e. the Healthcare Rabbithole). The World really is laughing and shaking their heads at America, I can hardly contain my laughter and jubilation either 😃. Donald Trump put lipstick on a pig 🐖 and went to sell it to someone who didn't know what they were buying. He sold Gold-plated promises and a bill of goods to the Electorate that has the same value as a Degree from Trump University, and it was bought Hook Line and Sinker. The only difference between Bernie Madoff and Donald Trump is who's sitting in the Oval Office. America's Foreign Affairs is in Shambles due to the failure of our blood soaked American Imperialism, Our American Economic and Monetary Development is in Collapse since our Money is worth nothing more than playing a Monopoly game, and our $20 Trillion Dollar Debt cesspool. The American Government cannot serve the needs or interests of the American Citizenry since the Corporations, the Military Industrial Complex, K Street Lobbyists and AIPAC made sure that Washington DC is Corporate Occupied Territory. An American Government cannot fail those it was never meant to serve...
P. Hamilton. I hope It's not too late for you to say you are sorry. This situation will affect you and your love ones, unless you are a male billionarie caucasian, which I doubt you are. We are cockaraches for trump, we mean nothing to him, and when I say "we", I'm talking about about the 99% of the population of this country.
Hope you don't plan to use SSI or Medicaid. Hope your kids don't plan to need roads or schools or air or water. Hope your kids don't go to war...
and the right have no soul.
P. Hamilton is a Troll. don't feed the Troll
Very important to point out that yes, Trump is favoring the companies that buy weapons from us like Saudi Arabia, but this has been US foreign policy under Republicans for almost 40 years. Trump is simply more clumsy about it.
It´s been the policy of both wings. Excluding the democratic party from this is dangerous and will only lead you to complacency because "if my side does it it´s ok".
Definitely worth the time to watch and listen to this! Share with everyone!!!
Every news service needs to watch and heed the warnings of this woman and the people need to remember that this our country not theirs. As Americans we are stronger than them.
sharon cronin 53% of tramp votes were white women,so own it.
TRUMP is America he is a TRUE FATHER to this country. He is fighting those who have tried to enslave us. This fight is bigger than America; if you were AWAKE you might know that.
I knew the second night of the republican convention what trump was so wouldn't of voted for if he was running against King Kong . don't own whar53% of what those woman voted for nor can I imagine what could of possibility motivated them to do so.
P Denise Gray: Your remark is about the stupidest thing I have seen on You Tube. Trump will only be the father of the country after he fucks all the women of the country. It won't be happening. He's a 70 year old orange nightmare and he is destroying our government. Your comments seem to me to be moronic.
sharon cronin ib
Some don't give Dump the credit he deserves.He may be a buffoon,a clown and childish. BUT he is a 71 yo. child who Idealizes the ways of Dictators.take him,and the damage he can/has cause, seriously
Do not worry soon he be impeached
human stupidity is infinite (A Einstein)
And we should be filling the streets to protest the fact that he's still in the White House!! He can't even respect his own country. Now he's calling the White House "a dump"!!! So why don't we kick him out!
@@Kolian1274 He didn't get fully impeached/ousted from office (in 2019), but the November 3 election is just around the corner and he will be voted OUT! They may need to use military force to drag him out of the WH (in January), though.
Naomi Klein, it's so brilliant how you shed light where it's needed. Thank you so much
Ms Klein is very brave. She is urging people not to obey what will be called the law, rather to go into the streets and face the police and military forces that will be arrayed against protesters and resisters. She could be prevented from entering the US in the future, or she could be arrested in the US by the military and indefinitely detained under the NDAA.
I hope she's arrested if she's riling up violence in the name of peace and working to end Western Civilization because she can't handle that her preferred favor of tyrant isn't in office and we're not going to be reducing everything and everyone to the least common denominator in the name of equality.
I remember the Raul Julia character from "Kiss of the Spider Woman." He was a political prisoner. I didn't understand then in the eighties how that could happen. I never thought Americans could find themselves in the same position as Raul Julia.
Thank you Naomi! and Democracy now!
one thing I think we can all agree on is not getting rid of the Clean Water Act why would anyone in their right mind do this. if anyone has a good explanation I'd love to hear it
liza; Hillary dumped her bus shit in the street.
Trump dumped his in the air.
Trump eliminating our clean water is how they'll eliminate the poor... it's happening right now in flint Michigan. Snyder is a awful human it's these tea party republicans that will do anything for $$$$ they don't care how they get it, even if it kills citizens.
leon singleton Hillary isn't president .
Right! No one in their, or ANY, right mind IS president.
You need to watch this again & really listen people!!
It's not too late, YET!!
If you are a defeatist then it will be, because you'll stay in your house like the good pet they want you to be!!
"NOT ON MY WATCH, NOT AS LONG AS I BREATH"!!
I completely agree but how do we protest during the corona virus emergency - when pouring into the streets is dangerous to the population.
Naomi suggests we need a "better model". A bold vision. For example, indicting traitors and criminals who gerrymander and take over public resources and offices.
When will this indicting begin? When pigs fly? She's just promoting a book.
George Kosich find a pot and a pan.
Tom Key go get yourself a pot & pan.
BirdsofPrey1956 go get a pot&pan.
Tom Key but she's just an academic. Talk is cheap. What works can be completely different in real life. Trump now January is doing it.
"Never waste a crisis " is an old saying
Trump & his cronies are putting that to the test with the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.
I reckon a lot of strategists are.
This is an excellent video. I've never seen or read Naomi Klein before this, but I can see that this is spot on and everyone should read it.
Horrors like Manchester happen every other week in America, to a greater or lesser extent. It's just that there not classified as terrorist attacks. Just someone else with a gun and a grudge.
Interesting in that the three crises she mentioned in the US - WWII - Japanese internment, The Great Depression - the Mexican expulsions, and hurricane Katrina - the brunt of it adversely impacting the African American community long term, they were all reflecting upon the repercussions on people of color. She says these experieces were absorbed and keep alive within their communities, but was not "metabolized into the American consciousness". That says to me that the real issue is that when talking about "American consciousness" here, the focus is on WHITE American consciousness. Period. And that's a deep root of problem. It's the same as the media focusing on how the "heartland" America feels/thinks, as if they are the ONLY "real" Americans, and people in other parts of the country are somewhat "less" American. Red/blue, POC/white... the biggest dividing tool in this country is about the few that have (and are taking more by hook or crook), and the have-nots....and the more we focus on the lesser divisions l, the less focus is on that "top tier" fattening their purses and ruining our nation and our planet!!! I agree with her to follow the M. O. N. E. Y. That's where the trail will always lead.
Windsingerful: good comment...I agree. Interesting to note who REALLY started the African slave trade in America...the upper NORTHeastern coastal cities...the WEALTHY cargo ship owners/bankers/money-changers...and then it worked its way down to the southern port cities of Charleston and Savannah. I'm from the south...and slavery was WRONG, however, Northerners also owned slaves. Let's not forget what happened to the Native American Indians...nobody every mentions them. They were nearly exterminated and were robbed of their land, resources, and culture. America has a dark history that most do not know. You are RIGHT in saying that we need to stick together as the 99% of true Americans vs the 1% "money changers." They are the AUTHORS of chaos, "divide and conquer," human enslavement, lies, wars and genocide.
Windsingerful all this is marxists looking to destroy the us by coopting the minorities, the way they coopted the peasants in the 20th c. Look how that turned out. Starvstion, war, death, destruction.
Windsingerful you are intentionally leaving out the "have somes".... destroying the middle class is always the goal of Marxism.
Enrique Lope So a black Communist is preferable to a white Independent? This is why we have sn electoral college...
Windsingerful its not races who get abused, its poor people. Western Values, starting with Magna Carta brought opportunity for people to own land....the cornerstone of independence. Big State is trying and succeding to take that away.
Thanks for this...
Mother Earth is the one player that has been left out of this theorizing. Kline has re-won my respect with "No", in spite of "This Changes Everything" (written after everything had changed). My thirty years of study of climate and the cryosphere suggest that, at the very least, exponential sea level rise has emerged as one of the most serious problems (for the moment) humanity has to face. If you are not paying close attention you are missing this point. Also, a companion to sea level rise is the increased level of disastrous storms that could even open the door to "category 6" hurricanes. The DoD is keenly aware that global warming, as a threat multiplier, has emerged as the number one threat to national security. Pay attention to what the military is preparing for. There is no debate about global warming there. They will not willingly sacrifice their mission for silly debates over opinions about facts.
Now, I'm a Naomi Klein groupie. Smart & honest is hot.
Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson......more like Fidel Jackson
Thank you so much for that warning Naomi!
if you can, get out of the USA, move somewhere else and get self sufficient off the grid. It's too late
Move out and come to Africa and feel the effect of Trump on steroids.
This was a very good analysis of Naomi Klein. People have enormous power, it is not enough to complain and make cunning sayings. Millions of Americans are affected by this policy. These millions could fill the streets and squares of the country and demonstrate disobedience.The only question is, are you ready?
Before someone asks. I am a German, born in East Germany, and I was there in 1989 when our government was overthrown. Only the will of men for change and persistence led to the goal.
Andreas Kreissl; Don't concern yourself too much. They will never be ready. They are a lot of talk, but no action.
Paul Ryan I do not give up hope, but I know people are lazy. Maybe something bad must happen before they wake up.
We are awake & that is why we voted for TRUMP. Soros is paying people to start discourse & obstruction with his admin cause his puppet Hillary lost. Do research.
I guess where you got your 'wisdom'. Breitbart News and Info Wars. And you're talking about Soros as if he could control millions of people. Even right-wing nationalists are now grasping that Trump and his government are anything but good for the US. You seem to be either a bot, or just stupid. But thanks for your comment, I laughed very much.
You can't seem to recognize the wrecking crew Trump has installed as his cabinet. They have the common man on the chopping block. If you can't see this, you are really dense.
Real Good Report.
I so agree with this, however, what's to keep this madman from siccing the militarized police and National guard from opening fire? Thinking of Standing Rock.
Most people erroneously believe that veterans blindly support GOP 'leadership'.
We don't.
Most veterans - especially the younger generations - are independent thinkers. They have critical thinking skills; they objectively assess personnel and situations. There are enough independent thinkers in our active duty military to prevent gross abuse of power. Younger veterans are trained to NOT follow unlawful orders; they know how and when to correctly challenge anyone who misuses their position of authority. Their strongest loyalty is to the American public - not individual leaders.
Blind authoritarianism no longer rules our United States military. The professionalism, integrity, and espirit de corps of our all-volunteer military has never been stronger. They protect and serve the American public because they choose to - not because they were drafted.
Diversity is our strength. Hope is our unity. E pluribus unum (out of the many - one); this is the motto of the United States of America.
this has become even more of a danger now, after Charlottesville
Follow the money
Yep and we are having more money in our pockets with Trump. Way to go Trump.
georg57 garvy Yes he plugged up the leaks.
So relevant as applies to our recent news, one troubling one after another.. just prophetic.
Thank you Democracy Now and Naomi Klein.
Klein speaks the truth. Listen to her because its coming.
I used to be a liberal. No more. You people shouldn't be allowed to dismantle the US.
Always amazed by Ms. Klein's detailed research. Brava.
Trump 2019 Recession is coming *know what is coming*
Trump recession ? Try again.....
Trump 2020 Coronavirus is coming...except he didn't give us any advanced notice (or take any steps to mitigate the disaster that it's become).
Klein gave enthusiastic support to Hugo Chavez, who brought Venezuela to ruin. She looks adorable in capitalist fashions and cosmetics, though.
Nicolas Martin , you’re a propagandist or maybe you’re sincere and just misinformed . It’s only the media and the American propaganda machine/government that made Chavez horrible since American government tried to over throw him and his nationalist/populous policies. The excellent independent reporter Greg Palast debunked that Ati-Chavez rhetoric and was in Venezuela when the American Coup took place in real time!!! Read his books!! It tell all about it. Along with ‘ Confessions of an Economic Hitman’ by John Perkins. Watch his interviews and s peaches and he explains why the west hated Chavez. Be well.
Nicolas Martin, you can't fix stupid. This video has put scales on the eyes of the left and they bought it to the point the socialists have taken over Congress.
Look how the abortion crises exploded beyond it's evil roots since the election of these liberals that took power last month.
And yet they dare to point fingers at President Trump?
I don't want my country to turn into into another Venezuela and yet the AOC puppets are trying to make it happen but, they are too drunk on the koolaid to see it.
God help us.
I read The Shock Doctrine & it was wonderful. Will absolutely read this new book. Brilliant woman.
Wow, I'm speechless
I do not want anyone to organize our society who takes this woman seriously.
Naomi Klien; You are brillant! The five step plan she outlined here is clear, concise, and based on fact. Thank you!
Hopefully Naomi Klein will HELP AMERICANS to WAKE UP..!
She'd have to go first, there;s teh rub. 2018 has proven the only people who need to be afraid of Trump are the bad guys.

ThoughtGaze Agenda? She was anti-obama. SO no, thats not a negative.
This is a nice rundown of what would have happened if the Neo-Liberal/Neo-Con Clinton had been elected. Klein probably would have been her communications director through it all.
Have been watching the US intently from Australia and one thing that struck me the most is the current engagement of its citizens. I truly believe there is a ground swell of a strong and developing democracy from the grass roots up. Many of you are commenting on the political discourse of your country. No longer lead blindly by big parties who believe you can easily be but finding and using your voices. It's inspiring. When I think of the US at this moment in history, I think of its people. It reminds me of a particular part of President Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, which said, - "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Take back your country by demanding accountability, working together and utilising effectively, democratic processes including your vote. For you are the people and its you who will make America great again.
i can't believe I'm just discovering Naomi now, thanks Democracy Now!
Cynthia Madrigal democracy now, occupydemocrats, exist to spread their dogma most of it the exact opposite of the reality.and they know it. They just dont want the mob psyche to know. Its really evil.
Trump 2020!!!!
Dont listen to Donald Tr.. I mean panis panizza... :)
He is all over the place, trying to tell people what to think.
I would have loved to watch this but the background music is the sort that eats holes into your ears. Is there a version without all the noise?
Great highlight
Keep ready. Nice share thx
amy, thanks for bringing Naomi klein. she is the clear leader we need.
This book needs to be required reading in all of Trump country.
That damn background music! Why? - It is so anoying....
who won the election..popular vote..Hillary
whom did the 'electoral college' appoint..? you know.. Tweety..
Duggy Dugg Who rigged the 2016 primary? Fuckin Clinton.
Bravo!!
Ms.Klein is clearly very informed and approaches the problems in a detached and objective manner. We desperately need more like her in positions of government and/or influence. The American electorate essentially fell asleep about 20-25 years ago, due to several significant social and cultural impacts: The obscene infatuation with President Regan by the upper 1% - the Koch brothers type folks fed up with paying higher taxes, and a recognition of a friendly face in Washington - along with an emerging social movement driven by fear of the influence of drugs, declines in religious membership and bolstered by a confidence derived from the easy victory in Gulf War 1. This token fight allowed us as a nation to reinvest in our nation/image and gave impetus to an effort to return to earlier ways of governing and social guides. "Bring back the good old days" in this case meant a return to an ultra conservative and religious oriented form of social order, but one that concentrated on the enrichment of the 1% at the expense of the truly needy. Some of this involved encroachment on long held social and religious values such as a ban on same sex relationships, the entire LGBT community, and of course the issue of a woman's right to control her own body. We also see the direct result of movement by the ultra right in the Supreme Court ruling that gave us George Bush instead of Al Gore, and the application of the new GOP control of American politics in the consequences of 9/11. The well known political laziness of most Americans when it comes to taking direct action regarding politics also allowed further inroads by the far right and the emergence of media distribution of the ultra conservative message through outlets such as Fox, Levin, Hannity, and the like. There is a vast and unfortunately growing portion of our society committed to self induced paranoia regarding the possible consequences of what they perceive as an eventual failure of life as we know it, a direct result of their fear of what they perceive as dark moving forces that conspire to destroy all we hold dear - rather like a self-fulfilling prophecy: we know it is all going to fail so we act accordingly and sure enough it fails. In the mean time, we see a demagogue such as a Trump who uses the same tools as Hitler, the same kinds of propaganda, even found himself a scapegoat in both Muslims and to a lesser degree Latinos. All of this plays to the inherent fears of a certain portion of our world, about 30% +/- here, more or less elsewhere, a base that will follow him no matter how many lies he tells: they do not have anywhere or anyone else available to lead them. In the mean time, Trump and his cronies are doing all they can to implement the strategic changes they desire, EPA, Education, Health, Tax "Reform" aka tax cuts for the ultra wealthy at the expense of health coverage of the neediest among us - all entitlements if possible. And what can be done? Unfortunately, the awful reality is we have to encourage a Republican controlled Congress to impeach and remove a Republican President, and in turn allow a truly messed up religious nut job to take over in his stead. The only true answer is to make sure Democrats take over the Congress in 2018 and the Presidency in 2020. If we survive in the mean time. Trump will do anything to remain in power up to and including a war with Korea and/or Iran.
David Stewart Pence scares the shit out of me. Yes, Trump could send us into war, but Pence will rot our country from the inside out. People are really into "the Handmaid's Tale" right now thanks to its discussion of women's rights. What they SHOULD be afraid of are the themes of religious fundamentalism turning the US into a theocracy. Pence and co. won't change the political system, but they will tip the scale toward a particular group, who may assert themselves as the nation's religion. No progressive president would dare try to overturn religious liberties in 2020 and the Supreme Court is run by conservatives who vote "the Christian way."
We are screwed as a secular society for decades if the religious continue to get their way. Acquit the entire succession! RESIST!
No argument Ms. Sweet - great name BTW- one has to wonder just what Trump saw in Pence to select him as a running mate in the first place eh? I get ill when I hear him say "well of course not" which seems to be his favorite expression. As bad as DT is you can actually look at his face and eyes and tell when he is lying - of course, all the practice he gets and we get watching him certainly helps too. But Lordy, Pence is a master of the trade - he is soooo smooth, great "leader" voice, much better than DT come to it - but this clown does not eat lunch with another woman - my God, what is he going to do, attack the poor woman due to intense sexual frustration? Of course, you look at Mrs. Pence .........moving right along, I distrust people who use their religious convictions as a shield against all discussion - it is like "god" can answer all questions, solve all problems etc., and so what happened to free will? Belief is and of a right ought to be, private. If one's salvation depends on how loudly one screams one's "gods'" name, then the individual clearly has bigger problems than faith. If that individual is an Islamic terrorist, we tend to pretty much expect what they will do; when the individual is the President, frankly, I am terrified. There was a very good reason our Founders insisted on "Freedom of Religion" which actually translated as Freedom FROM Religion. My theological beliefs are a matter of my personal relationship with the deity to which I pledge my ultimate salvation. Or not I don't need some SS want-a-be telling me how to live, or what my daughter can or can not do with her body, based on his superstitious unquestioning nonsense. My wife saw him walking across the tarmac of some airport with a brief case, and she said she flashed to some film she had seen where a Nazi officer was walking and carrying a case the same way. Silly? Sure. On the other hand, picture this dude in a close fitting black uniform with cavalry boots, etc., .... give me the creeps. :)
The christian votes were for Pence - not Trump. They are all hoping Trump gets impeached so they will get "their guy" in. It is very scary,
David Stewart. You need to run for office. you seem well informed and passionate about sanity in politics. you'd probably win! I think we need 24 house seats next year to gain power in the house. Get snapping!!!
David Stewart we don’t need more explanations, we know she’s smart and so are you. GO GET YOURSELF A POT&PAN.
I'll be signing off this string of comments as the crazies have arrived. Thanks to everyone else for the thoughtful conversation and debate.
Muchas gracias, Naomi Klein. We will be buying your book.
Carlos A Gomez A dead end.
I checked it out of the library; I hope that's okay.
Oh and stopping Net Neutrality will be a tool. Think a/b it if the autocrats stop instant communication rallies/political gatherings could be made moot b/c of lack of communication.
Sharing to all social media!
Ms Klein .....You are awesome !! .....Keep up the fantastic work !...We, the U.S., and the World, need you so much!! ......Right now!!....😊😊😊😊
"No is not enough" great read
It's very simple: powerful progaganda and failure to teach kids to critically scrutinise messages.
Larry Polsky I am re-reading NOW!
Ms. Klein hits a home run with this treatise. Accurate and concise, this should be at least heard, if not read, by everyone in the media and anyone who is having trouble understanding the reality , the gravity, of this "situation" we all find ourselves in.
Ms. Klein why cant you speak in congress and the senate?
Amen!
Thelma Lopez She's already passe.
johnmburt1960 she should NOT.
We were so far downhill if anyone but Trump had won we'd have been finished off. She's so not. Copied pasted; As a writer watching it baffles me how democrats can bag on this 70 year old man that's done more for his country in 10 months than Obama in 8 years. Jobs up
Economy up
Black unemployment rate lowest in history
Isis decimated
Manufacturing jobs added
Bonuses given
Apple bringing back $250 BILLION
Chase adding jobs
Wal-Mart passing out bonuses...
Stock market indices skyrocketing
Naomi would be in the way
We'd be going nowhere, again.
johnmburt1960 That's so total propaganda. Obama did not do that, not only couldnt but wasn't for us. Even when they release the memo some will be so invested in their belief they will have to rationalize it away. Endlessly. And I don't have all day. Davos. The machine will spin anything and sadly people will buy it. Thank god he won.
oh that's very toxic.
But anyway, about Davos; ruclips.net/video/4rLR4ipaY9M/видео.html I guess you didn't see? my alumni was there: www.cmu.edu/world-economic-forum/
we're real smart. trust me. Trump's tax cuts resulted in the repatriation of big co's like apple, chrysler, etc, driving unemployment down, jobs up. plus other things trump did reversed the trend; removing trade restrictions, sanctions, tariifs... Obama was the continuation of bush and hilly was to be the cont. of Obama. globalists, they had other plans for us, til now. Now they try to spin the successes and take the credit. It was Obama Hilly who armed Iran, ISIS, sent pallets of cash at night Leave it to CNN to turn it around. ISIS is almost gone and it wasn't O who did it.
BUt I don't think you can accept anything at this point, but: Heres the 13 more countries' ceos, even more jobs and money to be pumped into OUR economy. ruclips.net/video/4rLR4ipaY9M/видео.html
Obama did not have a thing to do with it.
and if you don't believe yet, here's one the top intl. economists, runs geneva institute, in my fam., endorsing trump: morally and financially. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/odiousness-ratings-public-debt-by-ricardo-hausmann-and-ugo-panizza-2017-08?barrier=accessreg You are not more knowledgable than they are. or whoever's been telling you that. Trump constantly says he's for us, and is proving it. That's the platform he ran on and won, he's with Us, while hilly's just the opposite; I'm with her.
And - what memo?? where have you been!!?? No Wonder you don't know/ media doesn't want you to know anything.
i cannot help you any more than that, you have to detach from the media brainwash, they are owned by globalists. Soros, obama, hill. DNC are synonymous.
This is non sense, a total joke, who would buy into this crap"?
Great insight!
Yet when it has come to the Republican tax reforms the Democratic leadership has been very very quiet. The fiscal conservatives of both parties have been very quiet. This thing will have a lot of impact on older women, women of color and poor women but the feminist have been strangely quiet. Liberal of today are only liberal when it comes to non-economic issue that have little or no impact on corporations and the 1 percent.
The Republicans won their tax scam by a pretty slim margin. What does that tell you about the Democrats?
Please explain further, eottoe. Really, I'm interested in learning your reasoning, not being a jerk.
Sorry it took me time to get back to you.
Generally speaking when the Republicans get in control they do three things. The first thing is that they lower taxes. It is on the promise it will create more jobs. Whether it does or not, that is up to debate. The second thing they do is start spending more. Republicans have this reputation that they are fiscally conservative but generally when in power the like to spend like drunken sailors. (That is how they do income redistribution.) The result is that suddenly we have these big debts with smaller revenues because of the tax cuts. Eventually with the smaller revenues are pretty much servicing the interest on the debt. (More income redistribution.) This is where we get to part three which the Republicans blame the Democrats and the social entitlement programs for creating the problems. Unlike my fellow Democrats with no solutions the Republicans will propose cut back on the entitlements, the social net, social security, VA, Medicare and Medicaid, and if not cut back not to allow the to expand because as we all know poor people should not be helped in their view point.
Unlike Russiagate, Obamacare and Me-2, the tax cuts have big consequences on things like Medicaid expansion, for example, which will have a big impact on the quality of medical care FOR EVERYONE because it will mean say fewer hospitals and availability of special care for things like mammograms, MRIs and breast cancer treatment, etc. It may mean women who are not working or retired will not have access a doctor close by. In the case of single parent families, meaning women mostly, they won’t pay for child health care services or there will not places for women to go to get health before giving birth. If you are an older woman, too, if you have a stroke and need assisted medical care that might not be available because it is suddenly too expensive. If you need help paying for child birth, that will probably get cut. Programs to help battered women get cut, too. Programs to help women get retraining, those get cut, too. We don’t have a lot of poverty with older people who are largely women because of the kinds of programs we have to help them. FYI, it is not very pro-life.
Does this help?
eottoe2001 That " tax scam as you call it directly resulted in apple and the other co.,s repatriating here driving unemp down jobs up. Along w/other factors, removing trade restrictions, adding tariffs. He was a hit at Davos. 13 more countries on board. Obama was the continuation of bush, hilly was to be cont. of Obama, all globalist. Trump broke it.
I didn't use the words "tax scam."
impeach the clown in the white house
A dark cloud is spreading across our country and it will bring us to our knees.
We never learn. The biggest threat, is our delusion that it can't happen here.
Sit back comfortably kiddies.
Watch every word she says come horribly true !
IT'S INTERESTING TO READ OOPS SORRY. It's interesting to read all the comments this program has brought forward, especially by ColdFlu. He(?) reminds me of Trump's techinique of arousing the negetive impulses of the human psyche to draw attention to himself and distract you from his true intent. Trump's a master at it, he's had a lifetime of practice. ColdFlu's comment has received an enormous amount of response mostly from what I would judge as reasonable people. Some start out reasonable but eventually begin to stoop to his level. INTERESTING.
Think how much of your precious lifetime you have wasted responding to this negative comment. Naomi Klein dedicated an enormous amount of her lifetime to wake you up to the oncoming Tsunami that is our failing government and the intent of foriegn influences on it. If this is important to you then how do we shaw up the cracks in the wall which is our amazing Country. How many of you have attended a City/Town meeting or run for a counsel seat? How many letters or emails have you sent to your elected officials about your concerns?
Stop falling for the distractions. Remember our elected officials work for us, not the other way around. We have the right to 'FIRE THEM!' Have a nice day and follow your bliss.
Laurie Bolles BS
And DEMOCRAPS ARE NOT MASTERS OF DECEIT...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laurie Bolles h how many Xanax did it take
Laurie Bolles how many Xanax did it take to write this
Excellent read! Unfortunately, USA is unable to read more than max 28 words making it impossible for anyone to get through with actual reason and arguments to more than 5 out of 1000 people on RUclips :(
Outstanding interview.
This remind me Chomsky in his book propaganda and the public mind. Do Klein ideas resolve the propaganda model ?
No, truth.
_Bach_ seems so
I do not think, Chomsky is the most influencal personality in the left wing.
Mark Steyn would wipe the floor with Ms Klein in a debate
Good luck with that.
She hasn’t the horsepower to carry her vague
arguement.
She would be a no show.
Mark Who?
She is in cloud cuckoo land.
That idiot should go into migrant no go areas
in Europe and culturally enrich herself.
Typical victim identity politics.
Ss&Js, I cannot believe the amount of work you put into a post on stupid YouTub; however, at least you've documented your sources. I shall check them out to see whether they deserve further inspection. Till then, I shall not like nor dislike your comments, though they appear quite troubling & repulsive to me. Zionism is one thing, but to blame all Jews is quite the other. If these are actual quotes by notables, then I must add that none of the Jews I've grown up or fellowship w/ knows about this. Some, yes, but the rest, no. Churchill lost his credibility in his endorsements of racial superiority & negative eugenix. Solzhenitsyn's had his nose rubbed into his remarks w/ no response that I know of anywhere. As for the rest, I must check their validity before I comment further. I hope you're wrong, just another shill hiding behind a pseudonym. Trouble is, those larvae don't document, just spew.
Lies lies and more lies
So this is what it was like to watch Rome burn. Well deserved.
{sigh} I never thought that 2017 was the USA's expiration date. America lasted around 250 years I hope that the Trump Flamethrower won't burn it down completely.....
ruclips.net/video/Nkns8In6jH4/видео.html
So we now have the stock market making everyone with a 401(K) tons of money, economy at 4% GDP, unemployment at a 20 year low, companies giving their employees $1,000 bonuses, and everyone will be taking home more money starting in a couple weeks. Wait.....why the hell are these people so pissed at Trump?? Bc The Storm. An exec order passed Dec 20 to round up the criminals pedos human rights abusers hidingg behind anti Trump campaign. All about their own power and their own greed.
Anthony Nycholas dont worry have you heard of the storm? The exec order Dec 20 - google it. Thats why they had to make up stuff like Russia did it (seth rich did it) the long list of accomplishments media forgets to mention... Search Assange on youtube "44 is traitor"
Media Never mentions Assange who helped defeat them. Media and the left=same thing.
Sean Patrick No this is why they were making all that noise, trying to throw the blame back on the Preaident. Obama and Hill in the shadows causing trouble. ruclips.net/video/5sn__cS9TmQ/видео.html
Not going down quietly but going down anyway. Meanwhile we are doing so well in only one year. We aren't burning.
"The worst is yet to come" for anti-Trumpists means, Trump gets to fulfil his promises to the American people, and thus becomes one of the greatest US president in recent times.
Hasn't filled one of his lies. All he's done is screw the majority of Americans. Hell, even if he gets his wall built, we're paying billions for it instead of Mexico. How could anybody believe this clown?
Ah... ok, so all the financial markets are all stupid for "believing this clown" right? For some people nothing will work. It is called a "mental block". Some women cannot forgive Trump for being elected instead of a woman, they hate him for this. Some effeminate men, feel their own masculinity is ridiculed by the success of 'traditional masculinity', they hate him for that. DT's winning goes against everything they were taught in the last 20-30 years. Therefore, instead of questioning what they were taught, they turn Trump into a voodoo, and stick needles in it. (Needles = everything that's wrong in their lives.)
elena, He promised to drain the swamp;. Hillary was just indicted 11 counts and a lot more to come. So he kept his promise.
and all this too, www.conservativedailynews.com/2017/08/trumps-accomplishments-so-far-and-they-are-many/
if you keep watching mass media you won't know a thing.
like, how the media was paid by fusion gps to say what they were told to say?

John you have no idea either so this is for you too, if youre even real and not a disinfo ops. all these links.
How insightful
Don't you love being lectured on democracy by a Stalinist
Wow this is so amazing!! I'm listening to this in all!! It sounds like the Clinton playbook!! Lmao!
She's one hundred percent spot on.
Aaron Fuller And the truth scares you huh?It's okay daddy is gonna be taken down soon and you're gonna have to rely in someone
This is an impressively concise, well-informed and well-spoken handbook on public disobiedience, which is a keystone of democracy. Another keystone is of course being informed, and there I really think we are, all of us, pretty much screwed. With hundreds of tv-shows, sports events, comedies, and other white noise to happily distract us, it's fearfully easy for us to be ignorant when important information is freely available.
If it sounds like I am exagerating: pick any YT video on politics. Go through the comments and count how many of them are just repetitions of the usual slurs which haven't even anything to do with what was said in the video.
Pseudo intellectual with a biased agenda
you people that write books and blame one party or the other are sad liars, and everyone sets through it. everyone.
Yes and no, the Republicans are definitely dirtier than the Democrats. Voting is just damage control.
Excellent!!
Well said thank you
Naomi is simply brilliant and bold! God bless her!!
"The People United Will Never Be Defeated"!!!!
America you have fought and shed blood for your freedom, make sure you dont loose this freedom for no man!!! Your Children deserve a better future.
THE FACTS CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED!
America is a Republic not a Democracy...I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I hear you Tahoe Wolf, do what you gotta do. Good luck in Germany, if you move there.
This is so good! It's incredibly important to know our own history, understand long-term political strategies, and to utilize qualified experts: authors, news sources, speakers...
11:18 "cabinet of disaster capitalists" - crisis-exploiters
Naomi Klein is incredible and her message is simple yet powerful.
Naomi Klein, speaking the truth here. Plain and simple.
Thankfully Naomi Klein is Canadian, married to a great Canadian journalist (Avi) who is the son of Stephen Lewis, the former NewDemocratParty leader and torch-bearer of Tommy Douglas who founded the NDP Party and the single payer health care system that Canada has enjoyed for over 60 years. Many Americans think Ms. Klein is American, perhaps because of her overwhelming concern and compassion for Americans who have been subjected to corporate governance for almost 50 years now. Like most Canadians, we hope in our hearts that Americans will soon experience governance like they did under Roosevelt, a government that was not beholden to the 1%, or in today's vernacular, the 12 or 20 corporations who run their country. Services that Roosevelt created under THE NEW DEAL policy inspired the world. If he had lived longer, a one-payer system in health-care would have almost certainly been active today. But American's who are not residents in the current 10% to 1% are convinced that the lottery is their savior; okay, I mean God, and then the lottery, because they are symbiotic.
On the other hand, the 10 to 1% virtually loop-hole and hide themselves out of the system. lmagine Claude Rains--The Invisible Man-- living in Fort Knox, and you might get the picture. Their wealth is deified and they remain ghosts. They thrive and live tax-free while creating the lie, through the transparent media, on the left and on the right, that their wealth is earned through sweat and hard work. Those not in the same tax bracket as themselves are basically welfare bums, American Dream deniers who simply are too stupid and incompetent, lazy, ugly, unsavory and witless, greedy, brain-dead, gullible sloths who are dim-witted, fat, exploitable couch potatoes, feeble-minded in the bedroom and the board-room, and who are lucky if they have a wife that is fat-free and fuckable (don't worry, they would never want to fuck your loved ones unless there was a disappearance option put in writing). Fact is, no matter how much the low to middle class pay in taxes, how many hours they work, how much their wages stagnate, they will never pay their way out from under the 10 to 1% 's thumb, and their source of wealth: WARS. You're on the hook for that in perpetuity.
And whims of those who's feet rarely touch the ground are very expensive. In other words, the 10 to 1% is completely ruled, signed, sealed, delivered, and maintained by men. The women are for the most part shirts, but better shirts than your sorry ass will ever be able to afford. And their shirts come in seasons, while the old shirts are sent packing with beautiful blouses and a handsome severance package that keeps their lips sealed and their memory more suspect than your 95 year old granny who was a human being, raised children who were not reliant on trust funds, and worked very hard her entire life. Her severance package was her medicare, and now the 10 to 1% want that too. Are you going to give it to them, America? I know what you are thinking: we already allow the richest 10 to 1% to tell the politicians they elect how many wars they need in the 3rd quarter so that Jimmy can cover the hush money needed for that sweet country girl, lets say from Wisconsin, who overheard his drunken, drug-induced ranting about his dear papa who greased a lot of D.C. palms and fired a Honduran maid who is now as invisible as Claude Rains. For some reason, I don't think she's doing as well as old Claude. Anyway, papa's new shirt needs a yacht and Yemen is looking a bit unruly, not to mention the fashion faux pas of that backwoods eyesore called Albania (or is it Algeria)? No matter. Depopulation is a band-aid that keeps on giving and giving and....you get the picture. But who's looking, right? I tend to have 20-20 vision when I see crimes, and, oddly enough, my hearing improves too. But this affliction is very rare in America. Eyes improve when something is blown into nonexistance because like the memory, unseeing is believing, especially when it pays twice your yearly salary and a trip to Disneyland that your now adult children will finally experience. But be careful, because there is a certain percentile (you know who) that will not be pleased that you benefited by simply keeping your mouth shut and eyes closed. Because you have just reinforced their near unbridled rage that manifests like boils every-time you have a free moment. And the notion that you still have access to the possibility of a second mortgage is definitely a bridge to far. But they calm themselves eventually, though begrudgingly, with the fact that you will never afford as many shirts or surgeries as they have, and your stress levels will almost certainly kill you before you ever see a dime of pension. Which soothes their husks, like a lamp-shade protecting its light from ever seeing that embarrassing tattoo. Yes, they have things to hide. Things to protect and a mask. Imagine how incredible the incredible 10 to 1% are that they incredibly get richer and richer and then richer every-time they unproduce something. Make stuff disappear. It's the American Dream made vacuously explicit. What bliss! Claude Rains must be reclining smugly in his gold plated slab.
Very informative and true.
Spot on Naomi
You called it. Here we are today...
Turns out, she was totally right. Naomi should have a meeting with all democrats and independents in congress! How can we make that happen?
I try not to get too excited about women I'll never meet or know but Naomi Klein absolutely sends me spinning. So incisive and smart.
Thank this is what I have been letting out....cme
India recently dismantled the RTI act, in the government induced choas of Kashmir.
The RTI act gave powers to the common man to ask govt. question about anything via a independent body, and the govt. had to answer that question.
Not any more.
We need to unite. And ASAP.
Wow...this is scary! March 2018 and thankfully nothing's happened yet.
We are seeing acts of resistance in the US already and it is giving me hope that reasonable Americans will come out of their houses to protest and reclaim their Democracy. The biggest opportunity to impact this corrupt and greedy Whitehouse will come in 2018. The mid-terms will be key in determining what kind of country the US will be. I am anxiously awaiting a reduction in my anxiety and stress levels and hope we are not engulfed in a world war as a result of Trump's inability to de-escalate political grandstanding by leaders in North Korea for example.
Naomi and Amy are a brilliant combo.
I hate the bell chiming background noise in this video , but I love MS. Klein's words , ideas .
Clarity -- Concern -- Hope
Naomi does a brilliant job in putting these troubled times into perspective. I just hope there's enough sane leadership in this country to put step #5 into play before the current "leadership" does long term, if not, irreparable damage.
