Great show! I love the way he identifies GOVERNMENTS as “corporations.” That really makes the problem much easier to understand.
People before profit! Corporations are creatures of profit. They serve money. Money is unnatural. We invented it. Corporations are unnatural. We invented them. NATURAL LAW is more important than HUMAN LAW. That’s an essential part of the transition to a world which respects HUMAN RIGHTS. Our rights come from our understanding of “right relationship” to nature and each other. Corporations and governments have NO RIGHTS.
Corporations have privileges and governments have authority. But they have ZERO rights. The authority of government comes from the consent of the people. The solution is clear: we need to WITHDRAW our consent. WE are the problem. WE are the solution. WE need to stop supporting the rule of government and money.
Ponder this: If you had a coin where one side was government and the other side was money, what would the name of the coin be? CONTROL! Control is not a virtue. It’s actually a delusion. If you believe you control anything then you are deluded.
We need to teach virtue. The proper application of virtue is to itself. For example, HONOR THE TRUTH. Honor is a virtue. Truthfulness is a virtue. When we HONOR THE TRUTH we evolve a higher understanding of virtue. The purpose of humanity is to EVOLVE VIRTUE not “make money.” In the Bible it says “Judge by the fruits.” What are the fruits of money? Tyranny and oppression. The endeavor to control others is an evil one, to be certain. We are here to cooperate with each other in building “heaven on Earth”.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. Something which is “at hand” is within reach.
Blessings!

Let us recall how when the United States was founded it was legal for
one man to OWN another man as PROPERTY. That’s placing property rights
above human rights. Actually, there are no property rights since the
concept of property was invented by mankind and therefore is unnatural.
Our rights come from nature. Property is an abstract concept. Can you
give me an ounce of property? No, of course not. It’s an idea in our
mind, one which is enforced by violence through government.
