Who is behind the documentary thrive

I am disappointed that you are spinning discussions when I ask for a working, useful device. Morgan see J. It is also fact that our school books teach that Thomas Edison discovered electricity when it is actually the alternating current we use today was of sole the design of Mr. In gruesome capitalist fashion, Mr. Is it really hard for people to understand that Mr. Gamble is speaking out directly against his own family interests when he speaks of a planned eugenics program and a conspiracy two or more people planning a crime to depopulate the world through vaccines, food chemical crapification and metal soil spraying, light defusing, chemtrail programs?

Eugenicists believed that poverty, promiscuity and alcoholism were traits that were inherited. Co-incident name change or what? Additionally questions in my mind were raised when the Climategate Scandal occurred directly before the Copenhagen Climate Summit, where the elite at the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia are caught directly falsifying data to fit the elite Agenda to develop a Carbon Trading Exchange in Chicago home to Obama, Emanuel to be run by …wait for it..

Goldman Sachs, et al. Another Co-incident? Yes, we as anthropogenic humans are causing destruction of our planet through our polluting, smogging, chemtrail spraying, rain forest burning ways. How can we not be? Yet, we also must understand that the Earth does change temperatures over history, significantly at times.

The polar caps have melted previously, long before man came along. That natural occurring earthquakes do occur as the planet grows and expands and that sun spots and solar flares, do continue to cause changes in our weather and lives.

Yes, we must re- learn to conserve, reduce, renew, recycle, localize our economies and take personal responsibility for our health of our OneWorld. We must re-learn the ways of the true natives of America, who cared for these lands, where the fish still came up the Navarro river for over 6, years, if we wish for our children to have a chance with what a mess we are leaving them.

That Mr. Now as for the question of can the few control the many for so long? Another silly magical-thinking, self- propagandizing, smooth smirking, self-aggrandizing Libertarian bullshitter.. I see that the website also suggests that publicly funded health system make people sick whereas the insurance based US one is focused on keeping people well. Not really borne out by the evidence of the health of the US public and especially the complete neglect of the poorer part of the population.

Lee…Why did you stop short of the goal? Did you give up on enlightening the masses? I suppose so. Let me state this…those of you who deny the existence of a New World Order need only read the obverse of the US dollar bill. The truth is hidden in plain sight. Rest assured however, that the truth is even more complex and shocking than most people would ever accept. Yet if history has taught us anything it is that the masses are generally always wrong. It is the insight of a few brilliant and intrepid souls who shed light into this dark world, and we despise and denounce them for it.

Bruno was burned at the stake. Do you know why? Galileo was imprisoned for his beliefs. Einstein was shunned when he first introduced his ideas. Tesla, the most remarkable visionary of his time, was ridiculed because his contemporaries had no concept of what he had created.

There was a time men believed their country to be the limits of the world. There were dark days when people worshipped the sun as a god.

There were ages when the atom was unknown, and diseases were believed to be the work of the devil. Only 25 years ago, the very idea that extrasolar planets existed was unacceptable. Now, the overwhelming burden of proof compels us to admit this foolish error.

I thank those of you who have already pointed it out. Electricity was a force unknown, misunderstood and unharnessed until Maxwell and Faraday described it and Tesla tamed it.

So laugh, if you must. The truth is inevitable. It cannot be stopped. There will come a time when mankind discovers the means by which the elemental forces may be harnessed to provide power. It is my personal opinion that Einstein was wrong about gravity, and as such has set us on a path which cannot be reconciled with Quantum Theory in its present context. For example…have you ever wondered…if hydrogen atoms aggregate under the influence of gravity in the genesis of a star, then where did that focal point gravitational force arise from?

Why is the gravitational pull at that point excessive relative to the surrounding fabric of space time. Note, the issue here is the question of what existed in that specific point which generated the enormous gravitational force required to aggregate and compress the hydrogen atoms and induce nuclear fusion.

More interestingly, once a supermassive star is in its death throes and sheds its mass and energy in a hyper nova blast, as well as ejection of its corona, why does the gravitational field increase even more despite the loss of significant mass and volume?

In this simple thought exercise I have presented to you that gravity cannot simply be described as the warping of loco regional space-time by mass or volume. In the case of the supermassive star degenerating to a supermassive blackhole, gravity is increased, despite the loss of both mass and volume. One may argue for density, however does that really account for the total increase in gravity?

Well, that is only one issues with general relativity. Tesla himself dismissed it and I would consider Einsteinian relativistic theory in the same context as Newtonian Mechanics…true…up to a certain point, but an incomplete description of the multiverse at best. Sadly, it is the commonplace acceptance and reliance on relativity that has handicapped our progress on many frontiers.

In Academia, free thinkers exploring the fringe of science are sabotaged instead of supported. Because the mindless masses fear that which may disturb the status quo. The world is content to rest assured in the belief systems on which it has come to rely upon as the framework for its current concepts. Our unwillingness to embrace new knowledge and change shall be our detriment. I have heavy criticisms of Thrive as well, but I would never suggest someone stay away from it.

There are very interesting concepts contained within, and although some of them are perhaps too specific to ever be confirmed, or shown to likely be true until otherwise falsified such as the specific families that control the banking elite-whoa man take a step back there is a lot of heavily supported information here, even in the mainstream. Also, zero point energy does not at all contradict the laws of thermodynamics. It does not create energy, it utilizes magnetism to create energy.

Learn some physics before making such an uninformed conclusion. Zero point energy is a very real phenomena and any respectable physicist would tell you the same. The question is how we use it and whether or not we can use it to create electrical energy. The oddly specific details in regards to the banking elite could be likely true or likely false, but you sir are not the authority on the validity of information.

You have no more or less information to provide for the discussion of the topic, so keep your mouth shut. There are far too many people with opinions that are far too ignorant, and the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have. Dave Hampton 15 May pm. The many good people who were duped into appearing in it for example.

Thanks for all the comments to this thread. It does feel to me rather as though we are going round and round making many of the same points here, so with the greatest respect to everyone who has contributed, I am going to close this thread for future comments and draw the conversation to a halt.

This film is a piece or Republican party propaganda, dressed up as an eco-warrior. Nothing more, nothing less. Funny that supporters of Thrive refer to others as mind controlled sheep…. Good review. TD 26 Apr pm. And thanks for the John Robbins piece. What a lot of words have been written. Jitendra, I think many of the advanced of the modern world have come about by the actions of individuals. Dave Hampton, I commend you for your home energy solutions. Last time i flew long-haul was in And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs.

Point of fact: Without fractional reserve lending, almost nobody reading these words would ever be able to own a house. You would need to raise not only a down payment, but the entire value of a home in order to purchase it.

Or be born with a fortune, as was Foster Gamble, whose grandfather founded Procter and Gamble. Icke, it seems, is bringing the work of the John Birch Society into the New Age, furthering its study into the Illuminati. These children were food. In the final section of Thrive , the tone of the movie shifts dramatically, once again returning to the lush landscapes and beautiful music of Part One. Most of the solutions Thrive puts forward will resonate with its target audience of spiritually inclined progressives: stay informed, shop local, eat organic, avoid GMOs, etc.

But not all. No taxes. Sounds good—but does that mean no public libraries? No state parks? No public transportation? How about roads? Social Security? The list goes on. He does not mention that von Mises is the guru of right-libertarians, so-called anarcho-capitalists and radical Republicans such as Michele Bachmann, who quipped last year that she reads von Mises on the beach.

But wait a minute. How did we get from Paul Hawken to a thinly veiled anti-democracy rant and Ludwig von Mises? Paul Hawken happens to be one of my personal heroes. For a local example, see this week's cover story about the awesome work being done at Save Our Shores. In addition to being an admired economic thinker, Paul Hawken is a successful businessman and is nowhere near a socialist. I emailed him to find out.

I do not agree with the science or the philosophy. It appears that Hawken and Sahtouris aren't the only people who regret having appeared in Thrive. In a scathing review on the Huffington Po st, Georgia Kelly of the Praxis Peace Center reports that she has heard from several of other interviewees, none of whom had any idea they were helping to make a libertarian propaganda film.

Early in the film, Foster Gamble says that, at the beginning of his quasi-journalistic investigation, he decided to follow the number one rule: Follow the money. The number one rule is get both sides of the story. The number one rule is be fair. The number one rule is tell the truth. The number one rule is keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

Follow the money is, like, rule number Like Foster Gamble, I believe there is a secret pattern at work in the universe. Most people do. If Foster Gamble wants to come up with is own word for it, no problem. My problem is that Thrive promotes an irrational way of thinking that undermines logical political discourse. I hate to see my community being tricked into buying this nonsense.

In my humble opinion, one of the most magnificent expressions in all of creation is the human mind, and our ability to appreciate beauty and understand truth. Lane Andrews Self as Self. James Gilliland Self as Self. Jack Kasher Self as Self. Daniel Sheehan Self as Self.
