“The World Has Divided into Rich and Poor as at No Time in History” | Dailycensored.com

Thank you, Edjoy, that was a fascinating clip. I had never seen it before, nor had I read that portion of that speech. He looked damned tired. I don't know at what point in the War this was filmed, but it was clearly eating him up.

I can only guess, of course. But knowing a few odds and ends about that period in American history, I would guess that was quite well received, at least outside the wealthiest strata in society. Could he have pushed this agenda forward if he had lived longer? Did Truman take up this banner at all or did he allow it to die of inattention (I am guessing the latter).

Then Eisenhower took office and federal policy took off in a comletely different direction. Ike's time was not one of pulling together for the common good but rather one of "getting ahead," "profit growth at any sacrifice," and the Ugly American, returning in style to Europe to look down their noses at the struggles of the battleground countries. Hmmm. Something sounds vaguely familiar about that last bit...

Actually, it was at the end of Capitalism, A Love Story, Michael Moore's movie and it literally brought me to tears. I had never seen it before either. It is one of those things that they don't really cover in school.

Michael Moore may be "biased" as the right loves to accuse him of being (as if they are not), but you can not debate the stark realities in his film and I think that everyone should see it.

This is certainly food for thought .

I wish he had lived a lot longer .

No, we should actually never waste any precious news time covering anything about her, or Mel Gibson, or any other pointless celebrity's stupid lives. The fact that the media is reporting this shit means that they are not reporting real news.

Truly said , edjoy , voted up !

they invited the poor...

Trying not to.

...Alan Bond spent $6 mil on daughter's wedding on the banks of the Swan River in Perth...she was divorced in 12 mths...I found it interesting, Scotty, how Clinton could organise a no-fly zone over the venue...lol...I'll leave it at that...

yeah, I found myself wondering about that as well....

Oh how true !

This is a non constructive comment . Yes , we ( collectively ) , HAVE resources . We are NOT using them wisely , for long term planning . Any fool can look on the horizon to see a great dark wave comming twards us . I understand why people don't see it . It is frightening . Distracting oneself from the fear or going into denial is a common reaction , though , not necessarily a survival trait . Personally , I am in no position to do much about it . Only collectively can we prepair eachother for the path we can no longer avoid . Where I live , so many people have bought in , to this idea of " rugged individualism " . It is an illusion . We share the air and water and the systems that move them . These are essential to all life here . there is no such thing as a person indepentent of all other living things . I am someone's mother , daughter , sister . I will never be independent of these relationships . These relationships dictate much of what I do . Corporations should NOT be exempt from this either . THAT is the truth the mainstream media should be telling us . THAT is the truth the Judicial branch should have taken in to consideration . THAT is what our leaders should talking about with us decades ago . Instead , it's just us . If it weren't for the internet , I don't know where we would be . Still this window of opportunity to act is getting tiny . Less people will be able to come through .

are you really ready for a revolution?? ..are you ready for genocide to clear the wetlands and human growth??are you ready to surrender your cell phone, your corporate made computers and corporate internet connection to revolt against "corporations"?

and foremost..you talk about humans like you are NOT part of the human race..

here is my take on this...learn your responsibilities and try NOT to be excessive.

its better than calling for genocide.....remember those "humans" will fight back if you corner them and end up propping you on that guillotine

First off, my point was that traditional forms of revolution have NOT served well to change the format of human society.
Second, I was relating James Lovelock's opinion, (which I find provocative, and startling, but which doesn't originate with me and I don't claim it to be mine.)
Third, genocide is the effort to eliminate a specific human ethnic group. I'm sure if I were in favor of actively eliminating massive numbers of my fellow humans, I'd have the grace to not be racist or xenophobic about it.
Read my comment again. Perhaps more SLOWLY this time.

rich are already being taxed..the poor is being fed..time for the "poor" to clean up their act.

what is the definition of "poor" in this country?? Been to a 3rd world country and i am telling your the "poor" is living pretty well off..

THINK

..."it's time for the poor to clean up their act..."...

...if I answer this, you'll hear the true voice of an Irish barmaid's daughter...

That would help . but I think we are a little bit beyond that .....Perhaps if ALL corporations were nationalized and the resources were managed with planet supportive objectives by unhackable computers .... ?

Thanks for this ! GO OREGON !

I don't think these fat cats get it.

Their taxes are actually there life insurance from the masses rising up.

Well the masses should be able to kick the shit out of the rich in the voting booth. Oregon has a pretty cool voting system. We vote by mail and get two weeks to a month to make up our minds. It is handy if you don't understand a ballet measure after the first ten reads. I have changed my mind on several measures after discussing what they really mean with severely educated individuals.

Let them eat cake... made out of the very rich. :)

The rich are full of fat and lack nutrition. They may be fun to cook with but I can't imagine they taste very good.

Soon. Right after or during the next bailout.

But it is fat that gives food its flavour!

I hope it's red velvet cake.

Yummy!
