I watched the videos. The situations describe are not far fetched at all. However, I don’t trust the speaker/authors motivations.Supposedly we are going to level the playing field with all the resource rich nations and support democracy by forcing corporations,IMF, ect to be kinder and gentler, more eguitable partners with leadership of said regions. I note that he doesn’t mention that an equal playing field would require voluntary impoverishment on the part of the citizens of our “fat lazy union” from the top down or that we strip the most the world of resources and disperse them in the shape of american(western) style luxuries that which would in turn consume the rest of the worlds resources in a week or two.
We can blame the “corporatocracy” but I don’t think we would willfully impoverish ourselves to make the world a better place even if we were guaranteed of success in doing so. I am sure Mr. Perkins would not, nor would he have that agenda for his family. So long as our citizenry(voters) is greedy and our elites are greedier, power hungry,evil bastards the Empire will not take a new direction.
