When This Blows Over

“…But there's good news and bad news. The bad news is: it’s too late
to change it. The good news is: it is going to change. I know that
sounds paradoxical. The mainstream media and the entire media
complex and all of this is so heavily invested now -- they’re pot
committed. They've got to play this card. They’ve got to play the hand
to the end of the game. And it is so massive that you can't change it, but
the good news is: You don't have to, because for the first time… I kept
wondering: Why do civilizations collapse? They struggle on the way up
-- there's a struggle… struggle… struggle… and when they finally
reach dominance… you know when Rome finally defeats Carthage and
there's nothing in the way, and it should be pure “off they go”… And
they just collapsed. And I think they collapse because the elites get
bored. But this is the first time in history when common people have
had the means to actually influence other common people in large
numbers and circumvent not just the priesthood of the churches or the
media or the politicians, but also just talk directly with each other.
And that, I think, is our saving grace. Because now there's 160 million
people walking around with high-definition television cameras in their
pockets. They've also got news vans in their pockets – can send up a big
mast like big radio used to…post an
event online. We're in the world of
absolute truth. Once we get video,
we're out of the world of “What
you think of what I think.” There it
is -- you know, “Pics or it didn't
happen, right?” I mean, there it is.
You can't argue with seeing it.
There is the inherent risk of “the
system will have to fight back even
harder against us now.” It's the
inevitable consequence…
