Abby Martin sits down with Peter Phillips, former director of Project Censored and professor of Political Sociology at Sonoma State University. His new book “Giants: The Global Power Elite” details the 17 transnational investment firms which control over $50 trillion in wealth-and how they are kept in power by their activists, facilitators and protectors.
“Giants” is available at Seven Stories Press:

He was telling the truth just not the whole truth in the sense of who own those investment companies or transnational companies and that Capitalism was invented at the height of imperialism, colonialism & slavery. Today it is served as the extension as such. These are very important information (but will require a whole different hours long of shows) also, but they are trying to explain a bigger picture here as he is focusing on the structure of the system itself, not the purpose or by whom. People who are simple minded and not appreciating this interview is most likely new or not really understanding this topic the interviewer & interviewee were trying to convey.

none of those inventions could be delivered throughout the world without the working poor for manufacturing, transportation and consuming etc the question is why do they have to be poor?

And still Rich men will be rich with no poor men. This is a debate of morality, Humanity freedom and democratic systems it is an impossibility that free people would vote themselves poor. Our global financial system is oppression.

I live in Venezuela and I despise all political options in my country, so you can`t tag me as a capitalist or socialist. And the reality in Venezuela is that we have a corrupt criminal government destroying Venezuelan lives, the left is right in it`s arguments and accusations when it comes down to how the world is ran, the problem is that when they are able to be in a position of power, instead of taking right action they become much worse than capitalists, they just sit back, live like billionaires and loot while the country crumbles down to pieces. Abby Martin shows the shameful truth behind corporate dominion but also shamelessly lies and sugarcoats the misery that the left causes. The left and the right are not two opposing ideologies, they are just the two heads of the same demon.

bpalpha actually, America is hiring lots of mercenaries. Perhaps half of our mercenaries are foreigners, often from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Mercenaries (if I remember rightly) form probably half of our armed forces in Afghanistan and they are probably employed in many countries all over the world on secret operations. The advantage of the US employing mercenaries from third world countries is that we can deny that they exist. Effectively we can wage innumerable secret wars around the world. I think the vast majority of our foreign mercenaries were employed after Trump became president. There are no official numbers on this issue. So everything I say on this is only an estimate.

That would not solve the problem either, because groups will ultimatly form and take over, creating a centralised system all over again. What we really need is much different: Money rules the world, because it rules the hearts. It rules the hearts, because they themselves are afraid of poverty. This is because they have forgotten that God provides for them and punishes them whenever he wills - whether they are rich or poor. Therefore we must revive religion, because it makes us go from fearing poverty to fearing god - it lessens the importance of wealth and increases the importance of justice.

Bank fracking... in the old days if a bank was chartered with $1,000,000 in the vault, the bank could loan out 900, 000 and keep a hundred thousand in the vault as their 10% Reserve requirement... Now, with computers, the banker gets his Charter with a million dollars in the vault... He then hands out 10 check books to 10 Borrowers each with a million dollars limit... Banker now has a loan portfolio of 10 million dollars... The original million dollar fund still sits in the vault... Bank examiner pops in sees that Banker has a portfolio of 10 million dollars and $1,000,000 in the vault satisfying the 10% Reserve requirement rule... Bank examiner is thrilled goes on to the next Bank... Banker has just created 10 million dollars that didn't exist prior to his Charter...
