The Zeitgeist Movement
Ben McLeish of the Zeitgeist Movement UK drops by London Real to talk about the One Planet Project, how we have built a system that relies on scarcity, why corruption is endemic to that system, the 3 behaviours you change right now to promote the Zeitgeist Movement, and why you’re working in a job you hate to buy shit you don’t need.

5:50 Every time you spend money from a credit card, that money is just invented into the system and then you have to pay it back with interest that isn’t created in the money supply
Jct: All borrowed P, all owe P+I, P/(P+I) get survive, I/(P+I) get foreclosed in their mort-gage death-gamble contract.
