Peter Joseph's Opinions

Conspiracy Theories Did the US Government play a part in the 9/11 attacks? Agree The 911 Myth: 19 hijackers, directed by Osama Bin Laden, took over 4 commercial jets with box cutters and, while evading the Air Defense System, hit 75% of their targets. In turn, [the towers] collapsed due to structural failure through fire in a "pancake" fashion, while the [other two planes] vaporized upon impact. The 911 Commission found that there were no warnings [for the attacks], while multiple government failures prevented adequate defense. The Conspiracy Pitch   Edit Pitches 25 Jun 2007    Source Has the US military ever considered terrorizing its own citizens? Agree The 911 Myth [entails that] the 911 Commission found that there were no warnings [for the attacks], while multiple government failures prevented adequate defense. Edit Pitches 25 Jun 2007    Source Macroeconomics Is free trade generally beneficial for a country? Disagree In turn, free market capitalism in the form of free trade, uses debt to imprison the world and manipulate countries into subservience to a handful of large business and political powers. Apart from these obvious amoralities, the system itself is based on competition, which immediately destroys the possibility of large scale collaborations for the common good. Hence paralyzing any attempt at true global sustainability. The Socialist Pitch   The Selfless Pitch   The Moral Pitch   The Dirty Enemy Pitch   Edit Pitches 02 Oct 2008    Source Is capitalism good? Disagree ...what isn’t talked about, is how a competition based economy invariably leads to strategic corruption, power and wealth consolidation, social stratification, technological paralysis, labor abuse and ultimately a covert form of government dictatorship by the rich elite.

War Did the Taliban ban drug cultivation because it was "un-Islamic"? Agree The Taliban rose to power, and by 2000 they had destroyed most of the opium fields. [this quote is used by Peter Joseph as a fact, and he attributes it to the Washington Post and the UNODC Report - the quote actually comes from Michael C. Ruppert paraphrasing those sources] Edit Pitches 02 Oct 2008    Source Economics Does economic inequality cause crime? Agree Virtually all forms of crime are a consequence of the monetary system either directly or by neurosis inflicted through financial deprivation. Therefore, laws themselves could eventually become extinct. Edit Pitches 02 Oct 2008    Source
