I thought I recognized your name! Yes, the fusing of corporate and state power is literally the definition of fascism according to its father/inventor, Benito Mussolini and his student, Adolf Hitler.
I am 74 years old so I will not live to see the worst of climate change. I keep remembering Dylan's line from Masters of War: Fear to bring children into the world. I mourn the young people who will experience the brunt of our attack on the environment and the malevolent short sightedness of those who profit from it.
What Powell suggested in his memo is an excellent description of classic fascism, as envisioned and implemented by Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler: the melding of corporation and government.
You are the one who will save Our Country with your Courage and I Thank You in advance for your Determination !! You are a True Patriot!!! You will expose them and I thought it was something that could not be stopped. You give me Hope and Courage to continue !! Just like Jesus, You come from the smallest state and have the Courage of a Lion!! I am so impressed by you and know you will expose them all and make things right again as they should be. You are our HERO!!!!!
Senator Whitehouse, you are one of my very favorite Senators. You are an important and powerful voice for regular people. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I live in New Zealand,I listen to this gentleman puts his message across so it is so easy to understand how money runs the USA.Take money and religion out of politics.
Senator, these videos deserve their own media campaign to amplify this message. A great many of your videos tackling corruption should be drawing millions of views. I don't know the secret to virology, but we desperately need more eyeballs and attention on this.
I'm not big on the internet like that so take what I say with a grain of salt, BUT if you can remember to like and subscribe every single video you watch. If you're already subscribed just keep liking it. I started to do this a couple of months back and now my five closest friends will have the same videos that circulate on my phone on their phone. I only noticed that because one of my non-political friends had something from a news organization that I watch. The more people like senator White House can grow his subscribers and thumbs up, the more the algorithm kicks in "put it on more people's phones"," this seems interesting". It's creepy but for me that's my experience.
Zethical Conduct: Very well stated and I wish that your wishes were followed. Thanks. Of course, Thanks to Senator Whitehouse for the brilliant analysis and exposé of these monstrous plans.
We need a law that can reverse Citizen United for one. Lobbying and Lobbyists need to be managed. Reason we can't get any climate legation passed? Coal oil and gas have these congressional members' members in a vise if you get my meaning. Same with responsible federal gun regulation. Our Government was not set up to be an plutocracy which is a form of an oligarchy. An oligarchy, for those who don't know, is where a small group of people basically run things and in a plutocracy that small group are all wealthy and use their money to rule said country. Money talks and as long as there's a revolving door of money and especially dark money, nothing that's actually good for the common man or the majority of the country will ever get done.
Laffer on Fox interview said "people are not worth $15 An hour." Why pay people when we have automation. McDonalds will be automated with 1 employee human...15. Hey raise the price 10 cents a 🍔. No problems. Our young people won't have jobs.I don't know...Crazy.
Stop dark money stop large donations to political parties stop all lobbying its serves only the interests of the lobbyists the system is designed by the wealthy to serve the predator parasites better known as the 1%
As of Wednesday, 6/9/21, only 339 views on this video. Sen. Whitehouse is the champion we need in a post-Trump government, but most people outside of Rhode Island know what an unbought, consistent, fearless fighter he is for all of us.
"We the People" becomes "We the anything hidden with money" Very well said Senator Whitehouse. You are one of a very few "good guys" we have left that are fighting for our Democracy.
More like we the wallets. We've gone from "In God we trust" which should have neve been a motto of a secular government but I digress, we've gone from that to "In gold we lust."
Thank you for the education. What a legacy of bondage and a crippling of the the American people's freedom of choice, our environment he left behind. He worked for Phillip Morris.....which puts it all in perspective.
Share it on social media. All 6 speeches. It's possible that one person listens and hears it. That's how it begins. Along with dark money comes dark knowledge of "The Scheme". Kept and practiced in secret. The media is silent. We however don't have to be.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for this delectable info on why corporations are people, too. Now the deeply embedded corruption is visible to all who care to see.
@@racrac770 LOL! Social media and cells phone suck the life out of US. That is free speech, my friend! Dr Google is insane!. Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. The right to freedom of expression has been recognized as a human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international human rights law by the United Nations.Wikipedia
End all dark money end all lobbying the corporate world must be governed by a government with the peoples best interests in mind not under fear of losing their jobs for doing what’s right for everybody from corporate interests and self interests at the detriment of the people they represent its called bribery and corruption and it is a felony
Sen. Whitehouse's analyses are so dense with evidence and specific, relevant details, such solid arguments that one viewing for me is not enough. I need to watch and listen again, and maybe a third time.
Same for me. I'm watching all episodes as many times as possible. And with as few views as these videos have, all of us(if we really care about our democratic process of government) need to get the word our for as many as possible to watch these videos. The future of democracy in the USA depends on it.
He's done 18 on the subject plus many other federalist society crimes aplenty. You can watch all of them here on RU-vid. I've seen them all, some more than once -- much more.
It’s the lies of the entire establishment not just trump. Trump too ofc but not just trump. All of them and I’m not kidding all of them name a politician and I’ll tell you just how they play ball for the establishment
thank You Senator Sheldon Whiltehouse!!!!! You give me hope for the white men of this country. more men wise men like you, stand tall and strong together for WE the PEOPLE and Our Democracy.
🤔 From what I understand, from his 25 minute video, is that we Americans have the power to vote against sitting US Senators & US House of Representatives. Remove them. Then we must immediately push to have limited terms for Senate, House & Chamber. This will make it harder for foreign countries to control our government.
Except term limits may well have deprived us of Senator Whitehouse! He's on his 3rd term and has been there 14 years already. Instead of term limits, we need more engaged voters to support good people and oppose the clearly corrupt, i.e. virtually every republican!
@@ccsims2 Are you trying to rag on those two by pretending you're for "good government" or something? I didn't say anything about Sen Sanders or Speaker Pelosi -- they're two of the best people we have. I hope I got you wrong but your comment is hardly clear. Maybe you should explain what you mean.
@@heidihogshire I was reevaluating my thoughts on term limits. I am thinking: though I would love term limits on House & Senate, I realized today that America would have lost the 2017-2020 fight against democracy if Pelosi had not been around. That's scary in itself. And, the Bernie is someone we truly need for he has always fought for the People
Key moment, 5:28. Powell: "The attempt to open access for the many necessarily involves limiting the power of the few:" Not: "Opening access for the many limits the power of the few" (a good thing), but "The attempt to open access ..." - an encroachment on the existing order that has to be prevented.
Somebody pointed this series out to me earlier today, can't believe I hadn't heard of it till now... I'm usually current on politics, so for something like this to escape my notice is surprising. This needs more attention!
I've been intending to watch these when Senator Whitehouse made the switch from his "Time to Wake Up" discussions. It just has felt all to heavy for the past year. I'm ready now. We all need to work together to share and elevate his material. I'm not on any social media platforms having deleted my facebook and twitter accounts in 2016. I can hit the thumbs up. He won't be promoting his work in the way that many have done. I imagine it would be against his sense of integrity to do so. As many of us who know about this work and can need to do that for all of our sakes because that is why he does what he does ... for all of our sakes.
My hippie cousin used to talk about this IN NINETEEN SEVENTY-THREE. He said there were seven groups who ran the country and he mentioned the Federalist Society and the others. I will need to go under hypnosis some day to remember the other six.
Jane Mayer, Dark Money Christopher Leonard, Kochland Thom Hartmann, his Hidden History series of books (on the Supreme Court, 2nd Amendment, War on Voting, Monopolies, Oligarchy, Healthcare) David Cay Johnston, e.g. Free Lunch - Divided - The Making of Donald Trump - It's even worse than you think Many of them discuss their books here on RU-vid
@@UTubeISphere Thanks. Do you think right-wing support for Trump is organic, or is it fomented by shadow organizations? I think it is largely the latter.
wow, i have heard and read evidence so obvious pile up and up and up and still all are out walking around doing their business of thwarting my rights and everyone else's. we must find a way to throw out this monstrous threat that has grown because of uncontrolled wealth. when will that ever happen?
Just as there is a separation between church and state, so too should there be a separation of business and state. Elections are intended to ensure representatives represent people. Not churches. Not businesses. Not corporations. People.
