The engine of America's greatness is not just its liberties
11:01 -> 11:03

but the people's willingness to fight to keep them.
Hundreds of other nations have had much larger populations
and greater resources, but have never produced one-tenth
of the wealth, science and art that the United States has.

Why?
In America, you had an amazing situation because you had,
you had the Founding Fathers who figured out that
they could deconstruct the Monarchy in such a way...
and then reproduce it with the three
primary branches of government,
in a way that would create checks and balances
and separation of powers.
So you could have room, therefore, for individuals
to work within the context of a cooperative,
which is a democratic system of government,
but it would still have enough room for individuals
to rise up and become profitable
and self-sustaining and rich
in the... in the pursuit of happiness,
without becoming dictatorial.
But unfortunately, over the years,
since all of those separation of powers
have been cut away and all of the...
the beautiful design by the Founding Fathers
has been co-opted by one corporate entity,
one communist corporate entity,
you don't have that anymore.
So what we have... We're back
to where we were before the revolution.
You have one monolithic state.

For the first hundred years or so of the United States,
after the 1700s when we freed ourselves from British rule,
no corporation was permitted...
was given a charter in the United States,
unless it served the public good.
It had to prove that.
And then its charter only lasted for 10 years
or sometimes as long as the project to build a bridge
or a canal or something lasted.
But it... it had to be up for review
and it could only get chartered if it was...
if it was shown that it was serving the public interest.
That changed, primarily because John D. Rockefeller
kind of bribed Delaware and New Jersey, to begin with,
into accepting a different system where he said,

"Listen. If I pay you lots of money in terms of taxes, etc.,
I want to be licensed to not have to serve the public good.
I want to be able to get around the law."
And, state after state after state changed at that point.
In the United States, our Constitution and Bill of Rights
recognizes that individuals have innate freedoms
that can never be taken away by any government.
For the first time in history,
the people were unbound to reach for their full potential,
producing and out-competing every other nation on earth.
The rights of free speech, self-defense,
private property, due process of law and many others,
ignited a revolution in human development
that threaten the despotic rule of
monarchs and tyrants worldwide.
But, the corrupt elites had studied history.
They knew that great civilizations could only fall from within.
They know from previous experience and history
that civilizations come and go, and dwindle.
They know the reasons why they come and go.
Isn't the only hope for the planet
that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?
--Maurice Strong, founder of the U.N. Environment Programme,
from his Opening Speech, Rio Earth Summit, 1992.
Maurice Strong is the man who said that
they would never allow another country
to rise up as powerful as America.
It will never be allowed to happen again.
And he said,
"The best thing we can do is to tear down all the factories,
all the top commerce of the United States,
and level it and give it back to Nature."
That... so that was the advice from this character,
who has tremendous power at the United Nations,
and was picked up and groomed by Rockefeller himself.
Over the past decade,
since the Kennedy assassination, approximately,
you've had an ongoing oligarchical transformation
of virtually every country in the world.
And in the United States, it's taken the form of
an oligarchical counterrevolution against
the reforms of the 1930s with the Wall Street interest
asserting itself as more and more dominant.
