Economic Fashism The red button problem

[jerry]

If you've never heard of the red button problem I want to share it here in this interview with Catherine Austin Fitts. The problem stems to be one of the root causes of our social economic issues that plaque us , such as the war on drugs, political corruption, money laundering, ect. Catherine's red button story begins at the 16:00 . minute mark . With that said this is another one of her always intellectually stimulating interviews.

Yes.
A good interview.
Do you want to explain: "the RED BUTTON problem"?

I wonder how many here would push it? (I would)

Excellent video with some important messages.
The red button point is pertinent and I was puzzled by the fact that a spiritual group of people whose aim is to help society failed to press the button.

We can all see the failings of the government and worrying direction of our society yet people will not step forward and are happy doing nothing. When Hitler & Nazi Germany implemented their dastardly plans, who his worse, Hitler, or the people that were complicit with those plans?

Humans are creatures of habit which makes us reluctant to change because we fear the unknown consequences, even though we know what is wrong we continue to accept the status quo. The elites and our leaders play on this human frailty. Man is inherently greedy.


Society has conditioned us into believing that the unknowns in life are dangerous and should be avoided, this weakness keeps us trapped and enslaved.
Whilst we all are trying to raise our spiritual awareness we still have to see the big picture and deal with the reality of the world. Yes, House of Cards is exceptional.

I would press the button and keep pressing without hesitation

Perhaps it was a simple matter of how Catherine Austin Fitts presented the problem. A speaker to a large audience can ask the most obvious questions in the form of "Everyone who believes ..." raise your hand, and expect no one or almost no one to stand up.

If she had asked everyone who would press the button to go to the left side, and everyone who would not press it to go to the right side, and kept at it, insisting that everyone get out of their chair and pick a side, then I'll wager she'd have found more button pushers.

Note also that she asked this question in the 1990's, which is essentially "pre-Web" time for almost all of us. The confident awareness that I, for one, have that things are truly messed up I did not have back then, and I doubt that I am alone.

Paul the biggest difference between now and the 90s is the level of haves and have not,s , the divide between rich and poor so of course more today will push it than the 90s . But anyone with anything to loose will leave well enough alone, they WILL go along to get along ,which is the exact nature of the worlds most pressing economic political problems. Anyway its a very thought provoking story, the fact it was a spiritual group speaks to me. Myself I would crush the red button ....what would you do ?

Paul you make a couple of valid points but despite the benefits the internet brings I still think people are reluctant to step forward and think that makes it worse. You could argue we deserve everything the Government throws or imposes on us.
