[@sirjohn2u]

In 2010, the 500 largest companies in the United States, otherwise known as The Fortune 500, generated $10.7 trillion in sales, reaped a whopping $702 billion in profits, and employed 24.9 million people around the world. UNFORTUNATELY THESE FACTS DO NOT TELL THE FULL STORY - LOW WAGES FOR THE 24.9 MILLION AND EVERYTHING FOR THE 0.1%

[@dinnerwithfranklin2451]

Dang he teaches me so much every time I listen to him speak.

[@brendanstrauss1934]

Anyone NOT open up a new tab around 19:45? Lol, brilliant. Good insight, especially clear points about why controlling intellectual property has so much weight behind it. So obvious on one hand but valuable precisely because of this plus the lack of it being articulated

[@workwillfreeyou]

Image if John McCain was translated into a Arabic language? That could be scary.

[@ParikshitBhujbal]

6 One Percenters much have watched this video.

[@GabrielCastellarTV]

Awesome

[@sheilasullivan3943]

Brilliant

[@stephenverchinski409]

When I listen to his call, his cry for Yemen I now recall how the Senator from Vermont gave up the country in his resolution to the apartheid state of Israel plus leaving an out for the U.S. Dept. Of War to go in with the call of "look, Al Qaida!" Sad that. BDS ISRAEL.

[@omarkn4371]

”Saudi Arabia (in many ways) is another Israel” → especially regarding the years long war on Yemen.

[@mich1074]

Lebanese army got a participation medal in 2006. It should be noted though, nobody will sell them any decent weapons out of fear of the Israelis, Americans and others. It is a major reason why Hezbolla is such a threat as the army isn't strong enough to protect their land, and Iran stepped in to fill the gap and gain influence. Chances are, that had the Americans help build up the Lebanese army early on, Hezbolla wouldn't exist

[@sarionlion9584]

When Vijay Prashad speaks on the Bernie Sanders movement (starting about 4:30) as being not quite like the "Jackson movement which picked up from extant social movements, grassroots organizations and built a rainbow from there", which "Jackson" is he talking about?

[@therealnews]

Jesse Jackson www.rainbowpush.org/pages/brief_history

[@sarionlion9584]

Thank you for the link.

[@cameronmichaelkeys]

Don't think he heard about the enormous Desert Thunder military exercise. Seems like a big gap in the "glimmer of hope" part of this talk.

[@robertdevries1049]

I hear a lot about foreign policy of the 99% in terms of domination, what role does exploitation play in the calculations of he 1% and 99% respectively

[@francosoliman103]

Chairman TRUMP. More like Chairman CHUMP!!!!

[@tony538]

classic

[@AijazRehmanecosrmna]

More than Muslims (not) supporting monarchy, Saudi is (constantly) petrified by its significant Shia population. Hence the need to be wary of possible Iranian manipulation 😮

[@russellk.bonney8534]

Unfortunately he's mixed his metaphors. the little red book would mot likely be found in Bernies chattels.
