Jacque Fresco on Democracy (Earth 2.0 Series)
0 (0 Likes / 0 Dislikes)
My name is Jacque Fresco.
I'm project director of The Venus Project in Venus, Florida.
But ask anybody, "What does democracy mean?"
They think it means participation in government affairs.
So I ask them, "Do you really believe in democracy?"
They always say "Yes."
I said, "Did you vote for the space program?" They said "No."
"Did you vote for the Vietnam war?" "No."
"Did you vote for the war now?" "No."
Where the hell do you participate?
That's an illusion given to people.
They even pick the people you vote for
to make sure they'll keep things as they are, the establishment.
So they put them out there for you to vote for them.
If we lived in a democracy, it'd be five thousand political parties,
different points of view.
In a true democracy, you would have that.
All points of view expressed on television and radio.
It's up to you to turn it off.
