Four Horsemen Page #11

Synopsis: The modern day Four Horsemen continue to ride roughshod over the people who can least afford it. Crises are converging when governments, religion and mainstream economists have stalled. 23 international thinkers come together and break their silence about how the world really works and why there is still hope in re-establishing a moral and just society. Four Horsemen is free from mainstream media propaganda, doesn't bash bankers, criticize politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. The film ignites the debate about how we usher a new economic paradigm into the world which, globally, would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.

repeated showdown

and in the 1830's Andrew Jackson

beat the second bank in the USA

in the early 1900's Teddy Rosevelt

beat JP Morgan and J Rockefeller

In the 1930's Franklin D Roosevelt

beat everyone from Wall Street

and now we have to do it again!

The one single thing that makes me optimistic

rather than cynical, pessimistic,

are my students

First I do not see a desire to

go to Wall Street amongst them

I see the opposite

Second I see a disdane amongst them

for people who are motivated

not just that they do not want money

I see a disdane amongst them

for people who do just want money

The crises we face today are created by humans,

and what is created by humans

can be changed by humans

So we are all capable of transforming our world

Revolutions are philosophical,

getting organised in preventing the culprit's

camouflaging the real problem

means it's possible to embark on

a blodless revolution

against the voilent organisations

and barbaric leaders

who've thrashed the economy

Central banking,

rigged capitalism,

land speculation,

income tax and neo-classical economics

have corporatised democracy,

stomped it's progress,

perverted the course of human destiny

and compromised the future of this planet

If these issues aren't addressed

then the next implosion will be on

a scale unimagined

Whatever the propaganda

at the beginning of the 21'st century

central banks unregulated cheap money,

pumped up land values which created

an unsustainable assets bubble

in a world which once again operates

a rigged tax system that enriches

entrenched priviligies

Neo classical economics have ruined

life for the bottom billions

Tempted everyone into intergenerational conflicts

and created massive suffering that has no limit's

Human beings go mad in crowds

and come to their senses slowly and individually

History is littered with examples

of people who threw themselves

off the yoke of oppression

to adopt radical change, only to

end up with popular

new rulers that maintained the status quo

To really understand something is

to be liberated from it

Dedicating one self to a great cause

taking responsibility

and gaining self knowledge is

the essence of being human

A predatory capitalists truest enemy

and humanities greatest allie

is the self educated individual

who has read,

understood,

delays their gratification,

and walks around

with their eyes wide open.
