Time Text
The End of the World War, the World War, the World War, the World War, the World War, the World War.
Here we go.
20 for insubordination.
25.
Very good.
Oh my God!
Woo!
Now we're going to want animals.
No, this is one of the most important things.
Oh, that's okay.
Well, I could probably get them to let me in.
I need to get back on it.
I'm like, I'm kidding.
I don't know if you want to call you guys.
I am on a list, though.
Yeah, exactly.
So you should, yeah.
So we won't hit it.
But, no, I mean, you should just go and then ask these people to hold, because it'll be hard for logistics to come back and get everybody.
Okay, there's four of us.
Okay, come on, guys.
Here, tell them the story.
You should be going in.
Okay.
Thank you.
That's the end of the queue up there.
Hi guys, where are you off to?
Hi, yeah, I'm a speaker and I'm going in.
And this is my film crew.
Maybe people are forcing their way in, I'm not sure.
Come on, you guys.
- All right, stay with me. - Okay.
Excuse me.
I'm a speaker.
This is my film crew.
I have a press pass.
music source.
All right.
Cheers, mate.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I don't have to go about it.
We can go.
We can go about it.
I don't know if I get - I got spine, I got spine. - I got spine. - I got spine.
- Thank you. - Thank you. - I'm sorry. - I got it.
- Very good. - And maybe they're not body-sweeping people.
Are they?
Maybe they are.
It's crazy.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
Take care.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
yeah that's right there's too many people this is the press tag and this is the uh the wonderful people that There's a little table and there's a couple of chairs.
That's the extent of the press tent.
No, nothing too elaborate.
They're going to expand, but it's not exactly like it.
It's not funny.
Okay, I just went in and sort of made my appearance so that they know I'm here.
Let's kind of go see what's happening.
What's this guy selling?
I've heard you say it.
It's not supernatural.
Floridio gold?
It's quite little.
It's quite hard to find.
Yeah, it is, actually.
Hi, yes.
Hi.
You wake me up quite a lot.
I've watched a lot of your stuff.
Thank you.
Really mind-expanding stuff.
Awesome.
I'm really...
Cool.
Thank you so much.
Do you guys have any food left?
Yeah, we do.
This is what we're doing.
Okay, cool.
Also, I'm a great fan of Michael.
You know Michael's energy, don't you?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I'm a great fan with Ubuntu and the contributions and all that.
Yeah, it's lovely.
Yeah.
Really good stuff.
That's what we're going to try and do with our little movement.
All right.
We're going under the Magna Carta.
We'll just get the food out now.
How are you getting on now?
Oh, very good.
It's very exciting.
Just got here.
A lot of people here today.
It's so cool.
Yeah, it is.
People are starting to get it, aren't they?
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't know how many thousands are here for this.
I stop people coming in still.
That's what they're trying to do.
They're trying to.
But they keep changing it.
Yeah.
On a third basis, they should report to Parliament.
And we are divided now.
What happens when David Campbell goes, on our behalf, to Brussels along with the other heads of state, It's all out in the open.
The press is there.
It's reported usually on the Saturday and the Sunday.
We all know exactly what's going on.
That's the way it should be.
And exactly the same when they have their Davos conferences in Switzerland every winter.
Again, it's completely open.
We all know, and we think we know, anyway, broadly what is going on.
But this time it is very different.
Why?
Well, I can only speculate because I haven't been there.
Not yet, anyway.
But I don't think I have a chance.
Anyway, the point is, what is significant?
Why do they want secrecy?
That's the question that we need to ask.
This is not just a cozy chat.
This is Michael Neuthorst.
You don't get people coming to thousands of miles who are the leaders of the European Commission.
It's about time.
President of the World Bank of the WTO.
I want to get a little closer.
I want to get a little closer.
...in a Swiss hotel.
But because they want to have complete strength in their discussions.
They want to have serious policy making.
And in the state of current capitalism, they want to conserve their plans.
And it may be pretty brutal.
I can well understand that that is what they're discussing.
But the fact is, if they are discussing those things, the one group of people who ought to be involved is us.
Because we are the ones that are going to reflect the lives of every single one of us in the UK and the rest of the West.
These are the people who are deciding our future, our livelihood, our jobs.
And if you look at the bedroom tax even our homes, So it's about time that we had this opened up.
Now I think that's an extremely reasonable request.
I'll just say two other things.
It so happens, I must say, the ironies in politics are never ending.
It so happens that on Monday of this week, Cameron, as a result of the awful further revelations of sleaze in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which I utterly deplore and should be punished, they decided there was they decided there was going to be a crackdown on lobbyists, and there was going to be transparency, and there was going to be an end to corruption.
So how is it that at the end of the week, the biggest lobbyist grouping Which you may have noticed in today's papers.
Wonderfully timed to fit in with the Bilderberg Conference.
You will know that they are very, very keen to know about every single email, telephone...
Yeah.
All the online traffic that all of you and all of us are making billions and billions and billions of them.
They want to track every single one through Facebook and all of the other social media using MI5, MI6 and Well, what I say to them is if you are so keen to know about every single email,
et cetera, that we send, we want to know the basis that One final thing.
I think what they should be discussing, and I bet they are discussing, is the one single biggest issue affecting the Western world, indeed the whole world, including China.
And that is prolonged austerity.
It is the single biggest issue...
Let me say, the obvious thing is to look for an alternative to austerity.
Why?
Because the policy, even in its own terms, is failing.
Because the decline in government tax receipts as a result of lack of growth exceeds the cuts in public expenditure which the government manages to make.
That means the budget deficit under current policies It's actually increasing, not declining.
So why in heaven's name don't they change it?
Well, I've got a lot of things that I could say to you about that, but the real point that I want to make is the obvious way to cut the deficit, which is much better for all of us anyway, is to expand the economy, put people back to work, so that they are starting to pay taxes in 17 minutes,
and that is the quickest way to kickstart the I know that there are a lot of people who are concerned about growth, and growth cannot be endless.
I totally agree.
But in the current state of affairs, I think that that is the right way forward.
All I want to say is this.
Osborne, if he were here, this is going to talk.
There you are, there's Labour again.
Soon as there is a crisis over borrowing, the first thing you want to do is borrow more.
Well, shall I tell you how we could do this without any increase in public borrowing at all?
We own RBS, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and Lloyds.
Why don't we tell them to invest in growth and jobs?
Why don't we put their own money?
We own them.
Secondly, we've got this thing that no one understands called quantitative eating.
What it means is electronic printing of money.
We've printed 375 billion pounds of money and given it to the banks.
Have we seen any results out of that?
No!
Why instead?
Don't we use a much smaller proportion of that and invest directly in manufacturing and industry and services and create the jobs and growth that we and the rest of the Western world need?
The best way to deal with this crisis is to tax the rich.
Did you hear that?
I think the best way to deal with this crisis is to tempt you lot.
I'll ask you one final question.
Just thanks.
In the last four years since the financial crash, which has caused all of us to have to tighten our belts some disastrously, what would you say has happened to the thousand richest persons in the UK? They got richer.
Next question.
Just a thousand persons.
We're talking about 0.003% of the population.
Actually, a minuscule number.
How much has their wealth increased?
Well, you won't know, but this comes from the Sunday Times Rich List.
Their wealth has increased by £190 billion in the last four years.
Just...
1,000 people.
I think we have a message for them.
Don't tell us that we're going to tighten our belts.
How about you lot?
Paying your proper and due taxes.
Thank you very much indeed for coming.
I know I want to say it's wonderful to have an opportunity like this.
It is worth a million parliamentary debates.
All power to your elbow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We've got time.
But it's just not go...
Can we take a short entry with you?
Sorry?
Have your time.
Short entry.
We are from Switzerland.
Have your time.
- Michael, I'd like to hear you.
- Yes, you might be.
- Yes, you might be.
- I'm changing the landscape of the company.
- Michael has a commission.
- I don't get it.
- Okay, now.
- I'm Perry Bansky.
- Oh yes, I think, I promise I will do it.
I did try and take it in some order, and I think you may be next, I'm not sure.
Alright, well I don't know what happened to other people, so here I am.
Anyway, I'm from Project Camelot, I sent you an email, and I just wanted to ask you a few questions, alright?
You sent me an email asking you for an interview.
I'm very well known.
I have a huge following.
And I spoke here yesterday.
So you obviously don't know who I am, that's okay.
No, no, I haven't.
I apologize.
No problem.
I'm sure you're a busy man.
I have so little time to go to the media or email.
If you could send me something about Project Camelot.
I would be happy to.
I did, actually.
And when I've read that, I'm sure I'm going to agree with you and I'm going to have an interview.
But I would like to say that you're supposed to get a point to that.
Okay, fine.
Can I ask you a question?
Because you spoke very bravely here.
I was just wondering whether you were worried about, you know, threats on your life.
Threats on your life.
You know, because you speak very boldly, and I wondered if you'd have any pushback from the Illuminati, in other words from the Bilderberg group.
Yeah.
Do they send you emails?
Do they call you up and tell you to shut up?
I mean, no.
I may get some after this weekend.
Well, too bad.
But up to now, you're all right.
We don't have a fascination in this country.
I've made people send rude emails, offensive emails, emails disagreeing.
I don't mind.
It's a free country.
Yeah, absolutely.
But I meant specifically people in power.
I meant from power.
Well, all I can say is that they have not attended so far.
If they do attempt to silence me, I assure you that I will make it tougher.
Oh, okay, very good.
Because you are all my friends.
And my power lies with you.
So that's the deal.
I wish they knew that, you know what I'm saying?
That's where their power is.
Well, yes.
I mean, the people are supposed to serve the power.
I mean, it's the misuse of that.
It's not even misuse.
It's the deliberate manipulation in their own interests and not in the interest of the rest.
I mean, political leaders and businesses are doing very difficult decisions.
And if we think that they have done that in the interest of people, we would accept it.
But it's when they are perfectly not good, it is a preservation of their power and making the poor and disadvantage and those lacking in privilege to pay the penalty for the financial pressure they call.
That is another matter.
That's what makes me angry.
That's what has fired me.
Okay.
Do you feel that they're actually sort of staying to the world at this moment by doing this kind of a secretive meeting, but yet out in the world the way they are?
They're basically saying that they're in charge.
In a sense, they're saying the new world order is here, and here we are, and you, people like you, who are in Parliament, don't have really any say, and the people certainly don't have any say.
Well, I think that was the kind of scenario that I was spilling out in my own speech.
As I say, we've had two countries in Europe.
Italy and Greece, where the Democratic government and Democratic Prime Minister was replaced by a technocrat, by a banker.
And that's very significant.
And then, as I say, we have here, as we all know, you wouldn't get a concentration of more people with greater power in Western finance capitalism than you've got here.
And it is in utter secrecy and a total blackout.
I mean, what does that tell you?
I mean, we are moving towards a fully-fledged market state.
Not a welfare state, not a democratic state, but a market state in which everything is to tell you about a market.
I mean, everything that the current government has been doing, and to be fair, paid for weight, I'd be the first to recognize this.
But it is to shrink the state, to say that all public services are to be tendered out for any qualified provider.
In other words, private housing, literally, almost everything.
And shrinking the benefit system, which is what we've seen and is still going on.
I mean, it's all going in that one direction.
And to get people to realise that, I mean, our real project is the restoration of democracy.
To make the institutions that the people have, that have some grip over those powers, to be held mercantile.
And at the moment, I think we're on a fly.
Who do we owe the money to?
Who do we owe the money to?
No one ever, ever answers that question.
I've heard it on the news, and they've said international creditors.
Who are these people that have the right to issue this debt that we have to pay back?
I mean, no one even tells us.
We don't even know who we owe this money to.
No one does.
Can you tell me as a member of Parliament?
Well, I mean, you do raise a very important question.
The banks, as a result of the deregulation of finance, now issue domestic credit creation without any control at all.
And that's why you get these spiralling asset doubles, first of all of household credit, and then of accounting doubles.
And of course, all doubles in the end Well, I just want to know if you know about the city of London.
Are you aware of the power?
Yes, I think I wanted to know about Project Camelot.
You were going to ask questions.
Well, you've received the answer.
City of London.
Have you heard of it?
I have heard.
I blog every day.
I blog 400 to 500 words every day.
For those who are interested, www.michaelmeacher.info.
And I would say that a third of all my blogs are about finance, the City of London, bank regulation, income distribution, taxing the wealthy, the power structure, all of those key issues.
I think you and I are probably on exactly the same basis.
I want to, the big five have far, far too much power.
They actually control what happens more than the politicians do.
And in fact, the politicians are craven to what the banks want.
When the banks collapse, they were the ones who were demanding that the politicians, politicians are just the postpartum, It's the taxpayers, and you've got to bail them out.
And we did!
At a cost of £68 million, plus several hundred million pounds of asset protection schemes, fidgety schemes, and guarantees.
Who did they owe the money to?
Who did we bail out?
Because if the banks cause the problem, and we owe the banks this money, the banks have created this debt, then obviously someone, they owe the debt to it.
Who are these people?
No one's ever answered this question, and if you can answer this question, I will be...
Well, I'll tell you, I can make you very happy.
If things are going well, they'll privatise it.
If things are going badly, they'll look to us.
They'll socialise it.
They'll look to us to bail them out.
The only reason they came to us is because they were bankrupt.
They were insolvent.
And it was a political decision, I agree, as to whether we did it.
Iceland didn't.
Iceland didn't bail out their banks.
They let them go down, and then they put in place all sorts of institutions.
That actually is what I think we should have done.
I mean, we paid 45 billion for RBS, and now he wants to sell it off again, having never bought it in the first place, at a loss of 24 billion pounds of taxpayer.
I mean, it's a racket.
It is a racket.
I mean, you're quite right to be able to do that.
I want to thank you very much.
Well, thank you for coming.
You enhanced my spirit because I want to believe that there are a lot of people like you out there who have these concerns.
I mean, there is nothing more important, I think, than that the people of this country get a grip on the kind of things you've been talking about.
What do banks owe the money to, though, the IMF? I'm coming back to the question, because really, I mean, I know you tried to answer it, but you said, when they're doing well, the banks, you know, don't want our money, but then when they're doing badly, they must owe the money to somebody.
Yes, they do, they do, because they have liabilities as a result of extending credit to people.
And if the creditors then come to the bank and say, I want my money back, they haven't got it.
Who are the creditors?
Who are the creditors?
Oh, well, it's you and I who take out mortgages.
It's the big companies who take out massive investment plans, and then actually they go fat, and they have to be...
You know, someone has to pay.
And the banks, they can either pay themselves with an insurance system, or they say, oh, great state, parliament, taxpayers, we're in trouble.
If we go down, you all go down.
Completely untrue, but that's what they say.
From what I know, the Bank of England issued money to the government at interest.
Is that true?
And the government gives them bonds?
No, what happened, quantitative easing is electronic printing of money and they sell it to the banks via the purchase of fuel.
So it is partly true what you said.
What, the Bank of England sell it to the...
In the Bank of England, there are markets every Friday of which colossal sums of money running under hundreds of billions are often bought.
And that money is then distributed amongst the banks.
And of course, the government hopes that it's going to be distributed to industry and manufacturing and services and create jobs.
But it isn't.
The banks keep it to them.
It's £1.75 billion.
That's a quarter of our total GDP. Where's it going?
It's more than that, though.
Much more.
Anyway...
I'm going to move on.
Anyway, thanks again.
Keep asking those questions.
This lady here...
Yes.
Thank you.
She's done so much for humanity.
Yeah.
Right.
Oh, wow.
And you really do...
You should really do...
Thank you.
An interview with her.
Thank you.
I sort of thought I had done it.
Her work is important.
Do you want to shake hands and look at the camera?
I loved it.
No, look at the camera though.
You never shake hands at someone and look at the camera though.
Politicians here, so you should.
That's great.
Thank you.
