US MONEY PROBLEMS VIDEO ...
The Story of Broke
Is the US really broke? Well, that all depends on your definitions of money and debt. That aside, in this video about US money problems, Annie Leonard makes the case that we are being told it's "austerity for the masses" at the same time the 1% continue feeding at the trough, and that with smarter choices on how we spend the money we do have, all will be well, or at least much better. As usually, the fun graphics from Free Range Studios make it all quite tasty.
GP comment: We do like this video, but it does not go far enough in defining the problem. Corporate power and political influence are indeed big problems, but until we address the infinite-growth paradigm and the way money is create and managed—currently by the private banking cartel, the primary tool of the 1%—solutions for the rest of the important issues we face will remain stalled.

THE REAL THIRD RAIL OF CLIMATE CHANGE
The two stereotypical sides of the climate debate are (a) climate change is a potential planet-killer and MUST be addressed; and (b) climate change is nothing to worry about, it's all part of a natural cycle. Guy McPherson reviews the scientific evidence that there is a third scenario: Climate change has already entered a runaway-feedback mode and there is now nothing humans can do to reverse the catastrophic level of warming that's coming—and coming soon. The good news? McPherson delivers his dark news clearly, with a great sense of humor, and with excellent insights into the human condition. Watch climate feedback loop video.
