He talks about all the things I've watched happen in this country and around the world. If you want to understand why the economy is kept in it's current situation (it's on purpose) and why, then take the time to watch this.

This is a preview.

I haven't watched at this link but it says full movie, free...

I'm watching on Amazon prime and haven't checked Netflix but I will.

We must understand what is happening so we can resist and make the changes we need.

on edit...it's on Netflix streaming...not Amazon. At Amazon you have to buy it. I was never able to get the Youtube movie to play.

If you can, try to watch this movie. It's important.

1. Could not get the movie to play

Would have liked watching that.

[haikugal]

3. I'm sorry..it wouldn't play for me either...:-(

I thought I was streaming it from Amazon Prime but I was watching on Netflix streaming so if you have Netflix you can stream it there. It's really worth the watch. It's amazing how long all of this has gone on.

[passiveporcupine]

5. And right now I'm trying to decide if I should go back to Netflix or Amazon...

But considering with Netflix I get to quit any time and with Amazon, I think I'm locked in for a year to Prime??? I might just go back to Netflix.

[haikugal]

6. Yeah, go with Netflix first. Then you can watch this film and a bunch of other stuff :-).

11. REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM -is Up on Netflix for Subscribers..

But if you Duck or Google Search you can find other ways to watch it!

[haikugal]

17. That's what I thought too but so far I got nothin....KoKo, help?

I'd like to supply a free place because so many are short on cash and this is an important film for people to see at this moment in time.

Oh..I Googled and found nothing free...don't Duck. Maybe I'm not as skilled as some with the google search.

2. Thanks for posting this, haikugal

I saw it on Netflix a week ago. He does an excellent job of explaining how our rigged economy works (for the plutocrats, of course).

[haikugal]

4. Yes he does and it's a must watch. I'm watching on Netflix also..I was wrong about Amazon Prime.

Thanks for your comment.

[KoKo]

12. yes...the Netflix Watch but Amazon Prime might also have Access...

I haven't checked it out there...though.

[haikugal]

18. Has access for a price..not too very high.

7. Expanding the American Dream

Today HuffPost has the following article

Hedy Epstein, Holocaust Survivor and Ferguson Activist, Dies at 91

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hedy-epstein-dies_us_57474798e4b03ede44143e01


Read the short but dynamic description of a Life well Lived. It is inspiring!!!!! And that is what we need right now to help us stay on track. When i read it and also the link to her webpage (in the article) I thought about ALL she went through at such a young age, losing her family because of the most vile government in modern times (the Third Reich) and yet - - - she spends her life not moaning and groaning about how tough things are, but rather she chose to face and participate against so many of the horrible things being done yet today, and became a positive, energetic force FOR the good. I think we MUST define the American Dream, not only in economic terms but in humane terms as well. We must get people to realize EVERYONE must be a political force. We must encourage a development of the political in each person. Getting a good job isn't enough.

Hedy ended each talk with the same advice:

“Remember the past, don’t hate, and don’t be a bystander.” (Now my motto,too)

Look at the list of the human rights actions she participated in.
If she could muster up the energy and courage to continue throughout her life --so can we.
91 glorious years!!!

8. Thank you shadowwinds for the links and your most excellent comment. Yes we can!

[KoKo]

13. ...!

Yes We Can!

[Enthusiast]

9. Kicked and recommended! That looks great, haikugal!

[haikugal]

10. It is Enthusiast!! If you have Netflix try to watch it ASAP it's that important. It doesn't tell us

old-timers, (hope you don't mind), anything new but he puts is so simply and with such clarity that it can't be denied. We are in great need of a Bernie Sanders and an involved, committed population.

[Enthusiast]

14. I don't mind. I know I'm an old timer.

Keep up the good work!

[haikugal]

15. .

Valued experience!

[Triana]

16. I rented at Amazon. Want to support the producers/makers

Watching now. It's a MUST. SEE.

[haikugal]

19. Yeah, there is that of course...and they should be supported of course.

I agree it's a MUST SEE!!!! Thanks for your comment!

[bunnies]

20. This should be required viewing for all Democrats.

Especially for those who balk at the notion the system is rigged. Noam lays it out neatly. Its a must see.

[haikugal]

21. I agree and would add that every American AND everyone in the world should see this. If we stand

together we will win!!

Thanks for your comment bunnies.
