creek. can. see at the least. it. will not be seen tells us that other malfunctioning corporation of this. audience is flipped out they cheered everybody in the eighty's wanted to be gordon gekko but the thing is this oliver stone wrote it as a piece of satire nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted seats adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers obscene wealth for a very few poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access

to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit a precious few over five million children globally each year do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can squeeze an entire library onto a computer chip the size of a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate greed. and greed take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would world look like that had a culture and an economic system that places human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being cares what it is called call it socialism call it real to me. ocracy now call the chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs

to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need you yes. it's console baron well it's a very well to buy but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place. that. i saw i got you is going to money is going to get fewer people there will. be fifty four million you

have six who want to hear. the wealth of three percent of american families you know one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of america so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functioning bought and sold as it is by wall street and the pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward for anyone to the very same power any one politician is now if they sort of outspend their competitor they're going to when they're when the election ninety four percent of the time. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaigns right so that means that you me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into all this for a process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatal. shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s.

government currently functions for and by the people would be a funny joke it's a joke we're not on you know most everyone we know magine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being it was going to be just not a good enough we will be like a duke ellington jet. they want to do just not the conductor he just put the money. yes that's democracy in action and. experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. was so radicalizing for two point continues to be surrounded by some because it draws such a stark contrast up against what they're fighting and actually in their minds

clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for thanks to occupy wall street there is a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up with but giving people the opportunity to create itself and to be part of a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this moment and it's also i think finally put the kybosh. let's organize a rally on a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and home. so

people pipeline. was by. far the very much for. i guess what you say but for all the government no longer represents the people the people are going to take .

you. i. think you. may be. poor. five thirty in the morning is a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty to maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but at five thirty in

the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake why because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world when he dicked occupy wall street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there on with an idea some cardboard signs in an urgency to protect the young men and many of them were prepared to go to jail trying to fill the space i had already gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood

on the steps of the supreme court. and it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and. that jane joined us from the grave that we have the fact that the. occupy d.c. occupy wall street occupy supreme court not everywhere in my willingness to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that were in zuccotti on the morning of october fourteenth it seems that you're about to eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to use a coffee that it may. would be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution of the. people losing anything not to be stuffed like holy spirit games into perspective please if everything looks like clearly the utility like

kill. in the first six months of the movie about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests for things like why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail. i have. lived. lives. where we are supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the show up park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street to co clean up wall street i think most of the problems with the filth is in the offices so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized this the rest of the people like you know they do that they have done that for trying to play for years in this country think that years non violent confrontations with the police whether they be in

asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble or uncommented spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zone when it comes to be the mayor and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think the movement was solely about clashes with the police. wealthy british style. time spies. markets why not come to find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our. me he. used. to. say. to me speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic

in school here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks books fifty yard p. interviews intriguing stories for you to. see been trying. to find out more visit our big don't all t.v. dog called. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

you. know you don't want to be up. like this again. or in a hurry. but when. i was your company i thought that. people

do not think anything of. my father everybody has. invited. my father and my mother didn't. come home i'm in new york city i am from new york city and it. takes over you. know because no owner. ok let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about

a police state since one nine hundred eighty the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact the united states is only five percent of the world's population has twenty five percent of the world's prison population in the u.s. one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for hispanic males that number is one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over eighteen is currently in jail between one thousand nine hundred seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent of all spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty percent is it that much more profitable jail or population than it is to educate and. i think that's

a great read and understand their head lock arms and you know i take me to yell at you that you continue to do this i read about it tell me you know watch you continue to pull my brother and my sister and my moms or anybody else that looks like me an arrest i think it should be a scary thing not just for those you know you know people color minority can but out of us know that we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home. already made every job very rigorous you slice out your show fries your bank raise some other. every two thousand word i literally am profiting no matter what your. action taking place right now. by my camera all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes it's amending change on

a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals in western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop the bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure. the fact is it's a five five back to. a lack of government regulations gave banks enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of america got bailed out and those with underwater mortgages were sold out so that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't

take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and high foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy are more and more people around the country store because he was there was another way to get back. there. was a out. there thank you god. i thank you and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts because even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farmhouse i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know

various states and and i stoli kind of came together like oh well and let's you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population wants a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power and health care is really part of a broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths to have the power and so i notice in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest a wall street comes to washington health care conference i crashed the party with her i doubt it would let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on myself was to get gawker that we

needed a national gallery because i didn't i acceptable saturday practice because they can't provide quality. was i was. fine i think you're going to have a snow cave or you're. the real. life . bit. sally. was. put on a listing and joined protesters picketing outside where adair a scarlet shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because up to now for my father part i was full suicide shot somebody at the head of the free state defense force because her life

partner did have enough money to pay for health care i just take care of it and didn't want to pass because my sister and myself first fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide that i've ever heard of he had to quit sitting outside everything he had borrowed from everybody saying you know we turn this for this person and cetera et cetera everything that could have possibly been done he did not work on my passport shall know exactly where i park my daughter from i have to find salisbury get it so he says i'm sure you understand this is something i have you can't hold you know without but simply not. that's why i'm here in this forum standing up for people like every person that died for lack of access to health care something's father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have found.

it is. it is i. think a i. think a think you know my mortgage is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will solve all ills but be careful out there if you haven't noticed there is a war on workers well underway between one nine hundred eighty and two thousand and eight the average income of the bottom ninety percent remained effectively unchanged at thirty one thousand dollars per year in that same time span the average income of the top one percent went from four hundred thousand dollars to over one point one million dollars per year so much for trickle down economics in one thousand nine hundred a c.e.o. made forty two times that of an average employee by two thousand and ten to see

those were earning three hundred forty three times workers median wage and while the rich got richer they were paying less and less taxes in one thousand forty five millionaires get a tax rate of sixty six percent in two thousand and ten millionaires effective tax rate was thirty two percent or more gratian things look even better bank of america hold over two point two trillion in assets pays less in taxes than the average american household in two thousand and ten g.b. reported five point two billion dollars in profit and was awarded a tax refund three point two billion dollars citi group has not paid taxes in the last four years and yet in the wake of the financial crisis they are deemed too big to fail and received four hundred seventy six billion dollars in taxpayer bailout money and goldman sachs has spent twenty two million dollars in campaign

contributions and twenty one million dollars in lobbying. efforts in the past decade and in two thousand and eight paid taxes at a rate. for a. one person that it was was you was that you think of the two the kind of was me i was i think i was of the exclusive was a yes q but one could send out if you want to get a bit bigger than twenty five years at the nothing but grief. we've been working pete thank you let me take the lead in just a little bit that he said he could put up with to keep it in bed at night but not
