Felt he himself was rather sympathetic to progressive legislation that would be in the benefit of the general population but he had to somehow get it passed so he informed labor leaders and others forced me to do it. What he meant is go out and demonstrate. Protest develop the labor movement. When the packer pressures fission and be able to through the legislation you know i am not for a were. No last definition number 11 a i doubt which many as a freebie blow well being gradually read your man in endless. Friendly deal i prefer that brought out information. So there was a kind of combination of a sympathetic government and by the mid thirtys very substantial peter activism. There were industrial action there were a sit down strikes which are very frightening to. Ownership. Have to recognize a sit down strike is just one step before saying we dont need bush that we can run this by yourselves. And business was told to read the Business Press say in the late thirtys they were talking about to the hazard facing industrialists in the rising political power of the masses which has to be repressed things were on hold during the 2nd world war but immediately after the 2nd world war the business offensive began in force and test partly yack. Yack. To restart any quality in Labor Management relation. To mccarthyism was used for a massive corporate propaganda offensives to attack union. Increased sharply during the reagan years and reagan pretty much told the Business World if you want to illegally break urbanizing efforts and strikes go ahead they are in violation of the law and if they do not report for work within 48 hours they have forfeited their jobs and will be terminated continued in the ninetys and of course with george w. Bush went through the roof by now less than 7 percent of private Sector Workers have unions. The effect is that the usual counterforce to an offensive are highly class conscious business clueless as does oath. If youre in a position of power you want to maintain class consciousness free. Self but all limited everywhere else here back to the 19th century in the early days of the Industrial Revolution in the United States working people were very conscious of this they in fact overwhelmingly regarded that wage labor as not very different from slavery that different only in that it was temporary effect of such a popular idea that was a slogan of the republican party. Well i was a very sharp class consciousness and the interests of power and privilege its good to drive those ideas out of peoples heads you dont want them to know that theyre an oppressed class so this is one of the few societies magicks dont talk about class in fact the National Class is very simple who gives the orders who follows and that basically defines class its more nuanced and complex but thats basically it. The Public Relations industry the Advertising Industry which is dedicated to creating consumers its a phenomenon developed in the freest countries in britain and the United States and the reason is pretty clear it became clear by a say a century ago that it was not going to be so easy to control of population by force too much freedom in one. Labor organizer in Parliamentary Labor Party as in many countries women started to get the french as and so on she had to have other means of controlling people and it was understood and expressed they have to control them by control of. Beliefs and attitudes well one of the best ways to control people in terms of attitudes is what the great political economists there stand blind called fabricating consumers. If you can fabricate a want to. Make obtaining things that are just about within your reach the essence of life theyre going to be trapped into becoming a consumers. And you read the Business Press say 920 s. It talks about the need to direct people to the superficial things of life like fashionable consumption and that will keep them out of our hair. You find this doctrine all through progressive intellectual photo but Walter Lippmann the major progress of intellectual of the 20th century. He wrote famous progressive essays on democracy and wishes for you is exactly that the public must be put in their place so that the responsible men can make decisions without interference from the be willed and heard. There to be spectators not participants then you get a properly functioning democracy straight back to madison on to the polls memory and so on and the Advertising Industry just exploded. With with this as its goal fabricating consumers. And its done with great sophistication. Many whilst down. As one of the last known while very singular. Whom are aware of the kind. Of the ideal is which actually seemed to did. Were lets see teenage girls they have a free set or afternoon well go walking in a shopping mall. The library or somewhere else. The idea is to try to control everyone to turn the whole society into the perfect system. Perfect system would be a society based on a diet of pair the pair is you and your Television Set or maybe now you in the internet. In which that presents you with would. The proper life would be what to engage and you spend your time and effort to gaining those things which you dont need you dont want maybe to throw away. But thats the measure of a decent life. What we see is in say advertising on television if youve ever taken an economics course you know that markets are supposed to be based on informed consumers making rational choices well if we had a system like that a market system in a Television Ad would consist of say General Motors putting up information saying heres what we have for sale a samba an ad for a car is an ad for occurs in football hero you know an actress the car doing some crazy thing like going up a mountain or something the point is to create uninformed consumers who will make irrational choices thats what advertising is all about. And when the same institutions p. R. System runs elections they do it the same way. They want to create an uninformed electorate which will make irrational choices so often against their own interests and we see it every time one of these extravaganzas takes place. Right after the election. President obama won an award from the Advertising Industry for the best Marketing Campaign and was reported here if you go to the international Business Press executives were euphoric they said weve been selling candidates marketing candidates like you know toothpaste ever since reagan and this is the greatest achievement we have i dont usually agree with therapy. But when she mocks the much she calls the hopi changey stuff shes right 1st of all obama didnt really promise anything thats mostly illusion you go back to the Campaign Rhetoric and take a look at this very little discussion of poesy issues and for very good reason because Public Opinion on poesy is sharply disconnected from what the 2 Party Leadership and their financial backers want. Poesy more and more is focused on the private interests that fund the campaigns. It was a public being marginalized. By 10 years and started as 10 years i think its time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what ive been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option 25. 00 text birds. And one red rose another suggestion geo political jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. Late night show its a rare format these days and its all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner if i actually meet with one of my guess i can do this campbell after politics ready gone wild like music. Ok crosstalk is not about hype its about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. Peter if you want to change something why dont we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. You know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Things. We hear until. I. Ready ready ready am sure to stop at the continuing to grow. I just never know very good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didnt feel like things were in very good shape that life was just going to be a lot of software programs. Theres no reason were more world takes things that are already in the. Theres no reason to make Something Else that need to get their lives and everybodys scared to talk about it certifiable is truly. They depend on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it every morning and have a conversation about it then ready. The leading political scientists martin gill and came out with a study of the relation Public Attitudes and. What he showed is that about 70 percent of the population has no way of influencing. But they might as well be and some other countries. And the population knows. What its led to is a population that angry frustrated and i hate institutions. And its not acting constructively to try to respond to this. There is Popular Mobilization and activism but in very self destructive directions. Taking the form of unfocused anger attacks on one another and on vulnerable targets thats what happens in cases like this. It is corrosive of social relations but thats the point the point is to make people to hate and fear each other and look at only for themselves and dont do anything for anyone else. Place you see it strikingly is on april 15th. April 15th is going to measure the day if they are taxes of how democratic a society is a different to the deficit. It is really democratic ever 15th would be a day of celebration its a day when the population gets together decides to fund the programs and activities that they have formulated agreed upon which could be better now so you should celebrate it the way it is needed state its a day of mourning its a day in which some alien power you know has nothing do with you is coming down to steal your hard earned money and you do everything you can they keep from doing. Well that is a kind of a measure of the extent to which at least in popular consciousness democracy is actually functioning. Not her attractive picture. Be the tendencies that weve been describing within American Society unless there are reversed its going to be an extremely ugly society im a society thats based on adam smiths final maxim you know all for myself nothing for anyone else. A society in which normal human instincts an emotion of sympathy so theyre e. B. To a sport in which theyre going to driven out. That society so ugly i dont even know whod want to live in it i wouldnt want my children to. If a society is based on control by private wealth it will reflect the values that in fact does reflect. A value that is green and that lead to maximize personal gain. At the expense of others and the society has made a Small Society based on that principle is ugly but it can survive a Global Society based on that principle is headed for massive destruction. And i dont think were smart enough to design in any detail what a perfectly just and free society would be like i think we can give some guidelines and more significant we can ask how we can progress in that direction. John dewey the leading social philosopher in the late 20th century he argued that until all institutions production commerce. Media unless theyre all under participatory democratic control no we will not have a functioning democratic society. As he put it policy will be the shadow cast by business over a society. Who wants centrally true. Where there are structures of authority domination and hire somebody gives the orders somebody takes them they are not selfjustifying they have to justify themselves and their burden of proof to me. Will if you take a close look usually find they can justify themselves if they can we ought to be dismantling. Trying to expand the domain of freedom and justice by a dismantling of that form of Illegitimate Authority and in fact. Progress over the years but we all thankfully recognize as progress has been just that the way things change is because lots of people are working all the time and you know theyre working in their communities in their workplace or wherever they happen to be and theyre building up the basis for Popular Movements which are going to make changes and thats the way everything has ever happened in history. Takes a freedom of speech. One of the real achievements of American Society its the 1st in the world in that its not the bill of rights its time that the constitution and freedom of speech issues began to come to the Supreme Court in the early 20th century. The major contributions came in the 1960 s. One of the leading ones was a case of going Civil Rights Movement well but then you had a mass Popular Movement which was demanding rights. Refusing to back down and in that context the Supreme Court did establish a pretty High Standard freedom of speech or it takes a womens right to women also began identifying oppressive structures refusing to accept them or hed go their people to join with them well thats her right to return. To a nontrivial extent if also spent a lot of my life in activism in that doesnt show up publicly but you know the show not terribly good it was not the greatest organizer i think that we can see quite clearly some very very serious defects was an error that error. Which are going to have to be corrected by operating out of. It is commonly accepted i think were going to have to find new ways to put it right. But the activists are people who have created the rights that we enjoy. In the army carrying out cosies based on information that there are. Seeding but also contributing to the understanding remembers are separate processes. That you have agreed to try to do things you learn you learn what the world is like that feeds back to the understanding of how to go on. Theres huge opportunities it is a very free Society Still good for his world. Government is very limited capacity to coerce corporate business may try to coerce but there are mechanisms. So theres a lot to be done if people organise struggle for the right susan is done best and can win many victories. I am. A. Close friend for many years later cowards in. To put it in his words that what matters is the countless small d. Civ the gnome people who play the basis for the significant events that enter history. Theres a ones who have done things in the past the mentalist do it future. The the. Cool gringo google ragtag her. In. The room. To. Do. Another. Big. Bag with. Her. In. The room. You know world of big. Law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. The temperatures are rising sea levels are rising. And theres a lot theres a few ways to play it if you want to make money on the apocalypse of course theres a couple of great trades on the table but without a doubt this is as we said the last generation.
