Richard Eskow


Huffington Post

We from the rest of the world are with you guys. Not only the US have lost sanity, but also the rest of the western world.

I have no issue with those who do something useful, produce value, and make 100 times more money than me. I have many issues with those who produce nothing, destroy value, make others homeless and poor, scam the entire world, and make 10000 times more money than me. Those must go, which the insane system that makes their scams possible.

We really only need one demand: full transparency and disclosure.

When State secrecy is ended, the solutions will be much more apparent.

Secrecy is the last card they hold. End secrecy and everything will begin to fall in place.

Concerning Perceptions, Global consciousness, Crowdsourcing, and the potential to inspire and aspire to global change..

Never before has voicing your opinions been more powerful than with today’s online technology and social networking!
