I have seen the first two movies several times and have now seen the third. The information on religion is intriguing, and the information on the
financial system is spot on. I agree with what Peter Joseph is saying. However, I think he forgets one thing; human nature. He wants to remove
competition from human nature. And while this sounds logical and philosophically correct and would lead to abundance and perhaps Eden, to arrive there
would require a total failure of the current system. We are too content to change on our own. We are not the noble, angelic beings Peter Joseph
suggests and tries to personify in his speech and character. Humans are imbued with insecurity and greed brought on by generations of poverty, abuse
and scarcity. We have been trampled by invaders and tyrant kings. We have lived under the thumb of governors, dictators, and armies. Todays legion of
lords is more subtle, the bankers, whose actions will rot what is left of our culture by selling us over-priced, obsolete junk and trinkets while
stealing the rest from us through taxation and interest. We are scarred and as a result we are insecure, petty and greedy. This perception is
ingrained in our collective psyche in such a way that it is not a symptom, but part of who we are. We are flawed by this. It would take several
generations of abundance to undo the trauma and return to what we once were.
In order for this Eden to manifest, there must be a transitory period between times of scarcity and abundance. And as the system changes, millions
will die in the chaos, and we will be scarred again. The best that we can hope for is a successful transition while limiting the number that will
perish.
To help me illustrate this, I will give a scenario.
Let's suppose China determines that the US is incapable of paying its debt, and dumps the dollar. Instantly, in the US, we cannot buy any goods. No
trucks are running to deliver to stores, because there is no fuel, because suppliers cannot afford to buy any. Store shelves are empty in hours. There
is panic, rioting and chaos, especially in large cities. Even if the US government nationalized all the infrastructure, the dollar is still worthless
and so are the bonds. The truckers will stay home to be with their families, to protect them in the chaos. The electric grid won't stay on very long
either since utility workers will also be home with their families. The military is in no shape to help. At best, they will only be able to protect
the powers that be, the status quo. They will not be paid in dollars, but in food, water and protection (safe, communal housing with other
soldiers/police). The US government could operate this way for a very long time, producing what they need and buying the rest with gold and silver
reserves. Let us hope that at this point we are not turned into a 1984 society. Eight weeks into the crisis, personal food stores are depleted and
people start wandering. Some hide, some fight, some starve. The ones that survive this chaos are the ones who are able to grow their own food. This
means they have saved enough food to out-last their neighbors and are able to start a successful garden. Perhaps they could even procure a chicken to
get some eggs. It is at this point, when the old system has fallen, that people MUST have a shift in consciousness in such a way that they strive for
cooperation and not competition. This is where a new system can begin. If that does not happen, we will be right back where we started.
