@massive irrelevance it’s not a capitalist problem, it’s greed, power hungry problem. Change the economic system, the problems will still exist as long as corrupt elitists are at the top governing
I live in Venezuela and I despise all political options in my country, so you can`t tag me as a capitalist or socialist. And the reality in Venezuela is that we have a corrupt criminal government destroying Venezuelan lives, the left is right in it`s arguments and accusations when it comes down to how the world is ran, the problem is that when they are able to be in a position of power, instead of taking right action they become much worse than capitalists, they just sit back, live like billionaires and loot while the country crumbles down to pieces. Abby Martin shows the shameful truth behind corporate dominion but also shamelessly lies and sugarcoats the misery that the left causes. The left and the right are not two opposing ideologies, they are just the two heads of the same demon.
@@GodmadeTrends Exactly. I've been saying this same thing for years. It's not that capitalism itself is the problem, it's really about human nature and how human frailties get manifested (and amplified) in an economic system.

It sounds good, and I'm sure the author is passing on some good information. However anyone who thinks Jeff Bezos on $162 billion is the richest person in the World is possibly being a little disingenuous. Not only the Rockerfellers but even more so the Rothschild financial mafia make Bezos look like a pauper. Why not mention them, the Trillinaire Club. Rothschilds wealth is measured in the tens of trillions.
@@norahdean5252 the Rothschild's aren't one person. Neither are the Rockefeller's. Furthermore, it's probably not easy to measure their wealth as it's doubtful they publish it or flaunt it like Bezos would. Plus he owns Amazon, so knowledge about him is more widely available.
crony capitalism is interchangable with corruption. "crony capitalism corrupts abolutely" is a tautology and says nothing. if anything, its flat wrong because it implies you can have crony capitalism that isnt corrupt.
there is no such thing as crony capitalism , only crony socialism. Crony requires a big and powerful state / government in order to operate. Capitalist / free market societies have limited government powers and exclude government from economic decisions making ZERO opportunity for the crony. The only cronyism is socialism.
@@user-ue9bi2ui2q are you saying the current system is socialism? 😂 did you watch this video? It literally highlights the integrated web of cronyism in the current capitalist system. Many socialists and eg anarcho capatalists actually share the same goals of small government and decentralisation albeit with different strategies.
Thank you miss. Martin for your "Real News" reporting. I am a new subscriber to the «Empire Files» channel. I came to know you through «TJDS» with the great mr. Jimmy Dore. Now: « I am hooked to the Truth !!! »
Thank Abby, I am always informed by you. Keep up educating an enlightening us all who want to know. You, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald and the truth tellers keep the light on in a very dark world. Thank you.👌
THANX what a GREAT INTERVIEW...very informative and this is THE video to show friends who just do not understand the problem we face....THANX Peter..and THANX ABBY...U r awesome girl.
No kidding! I like you knew about most of it, but I had no idea there was a private security company that had 625,000 employees!! I kept wondering, how are they going to be able to take over farmer's lands, put us in these overpopulated "towns", monitor our energy use, etc. in order to enact the UN's 2030?? Now I know...................
I've learned more names of the most powerful companies and corporations in this video than anywhere else, and I thoroughly look for news that covers the problems of and solutions to global capitalism. I've never heard of G4S, the Atlantic Council, Omnicom, IPG or WPP. these are the things we need to know to challenge these overwhelming structures, but they're too good at hiding in plain sight that it takes years for people to figure out. Keep it up Abby and Peter Phillips!
Great work! Simple and precise... I have been a media professional for almost 18 years, I know what is happening. will do my best to further spread this message

I always knew it would come to a time when wealth was so concentrated that the only jobs for people was to protect that wealth- hence the largest employer is security and mercenary firms.
bpalpha actually, America is hiring lots of mercenaries. Perhaps half of our mercenaries are foreigners, often from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Mercenaries (if I remember rightly) form probably half of our armed forces in Afghanistan and they are probably employed in many countries all over the world on secret operations. The advantage of the US employing mercenaries from third world countries is that we can deny that they exist. Effectively we can wage innumerable secret wars around the world. I think the vast majority of our foreign mercenaries were employed after Trump became president. There are no official numbers on this issue. So everything I say on this is only an estimate.
He said Jeff Bezos is not listed. I see the book sells on Amazon. Still I'm glad to see this man on staff at Sonoma State. I will read his book in the near future.

@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz1% of 1% of the population own a minimum of 50% of property and money. At least 6 billion people (maybe more) live below the poverty line of their own respective countries. You might be good and I might be good, but what about the rest of the world?! If you don’t see that as a problem, then you have an issue with perception and perspective.
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hzjust because ware happy with the crumbs they leave the rest of us, doesn’t mean they are these Uber beneficial and benevolent people. Robber barons are robbers first.
@@reggier2343 I didn’t ask you for more one sided statistics. I asked you- to exactly explain how “the giants” make your life - or anyone’s life-worse, less productive, poorer, etc. It’s so popular to rail on the wealthy- yet you progressives live your lives among useless labels and you can’t define anything specifically.
The numbers are just mind boggling and jaw dropping. The fact that so few control so much. This really needs to change and if it doesn't soon. #ThePitchforksAreComing for the rich.
We need a Decentralised ‘society’, while we have a centralised system hierarchies form, inevitably become power bases. And we all know ‘’power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately’’
Haven't heard that quote, although I have read Lord Acton's famous quote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men...."
That would not solve the problem either, because groups will ultimatly form and take over, creating a centralised system all over again. What we really need is much different: Money rules the world, because it rules the hearts. It rules the hearts, because they themselves are afraid of poverty. This is because they have forgotten that God provides for them and punishes them whenever he wills - whether they are rich or poor. Therefore we must revive religion, because it makes us go from fearing poverty to fearing god - it lessens the importance of wealth and increases the importance of justice.
Great interview. I just noticed this was 3 years ago, but she tweeted about this today. I wasn't going to go through 3,000 comments but I wonder if there was anybody that disliked this video or if anyone had a negative reaction. No one likes everything 100 per cent. I am sure there are more fans of Abby that watch her videos than detractors. I would still like to know what they say no matter how dumb their comments might be.
Love Abby too, but I hope everyone gets the book "Giants" by Peter Phillips. His book is like a Rosetta Stone explaining how the global capitalist system functions-- who's really making decisions and why it's so hard to fight back against them now. But, fight we must!
The values and feelings that we share are main stream; the relegation of our opinions to the fringe is a calculated affront perpetrated by the firms and people that have finally been named. I just bought the book, thanks Peter Phillips for having the courage to put it out there. The latex hot pants were a little distracting, and it looked like Mr. Phillips felt the same. Abby wears them like a boss for sure, but maybe not the best choice for the subject matter. I'm so grateful for Empire Files and the work you do to bring truth and transparency - like rain in the desert!
@@nstratford9073 I don't believe the bible blindly. I believe in the bible because I have study it for years and can see how prophesies in the past has been fulfilled, especially how the 300+ different prophesies regarding messiah was fulfilled on Jesus.
@@dribrom well that's good to hear that you actually have studied it so good on ya!!, a lot if people unfortunately just go blindly into religion after being brainwashed by their parents/priests. Have these prophecies come true after the bible was written or before the bible was written?
@@nstratford9073 Well first of all the bible is not one book. It's a collection of many different books/scrolls and letters written during roughly a 2000 year long period. From Moses to John who was the last of Jesus apostles to die around 100 A.D. But yes there are prophesies made by Jesus that has come true. For an example Jesus foretold that the Romans would destroy the temple in Jerusalem 70 years before it happened.
@@nstratford9073 The prophecies in the Bible have been coming true since the different writings by different men through the ages were written. You would know that if you read, studied, and believed in God. Without belief you are blind and cannot see the truth. Most people that say they believe and/or go to church do not read and study the Bible and understand nothing about God or the Bible. Because I read, study, and believe, I already know what is coming in the future.

The problem is not too much capitalism, it's not enough capitalism. The problem is corporatism financed by money printed out of thin air.
It's beyond the United Corporations of America now. It's global and there is SO much power in the hands of these few people. The internet can be a great teaching resource. I wonder how long we will be allowed unrestricted access to it? Make the most of it while you can people. Share this video.
Just don't be a sponge. Use your head. As George Carlin said that they own just about every bit of information that you get to see and hear. That includes the internet and this big money platform. Even things of a conspiratorial nature are there by their consent. However, MSM is anti conspiracy. So much so that it betrays itself. Even down to the local level. Primarily propaganda outlets.
Reminds me of pharaohs, extremely wealthy however it didn’t help them when they died. Wealth was stolen, taken abroad, put in museums etc. Leaders and people will be judged on how they earned, spent their wealth. The Almighty sent the final revelation the Holy Quran as a mercy and guidance. Interest is forbidden, charity known as Zakah, purification of wealth 2.5% distributed amongst the poor, not including voluntary charity known as sadaqa. Please research this aspect if you wish.

It sounds good, and I'm sure the author is passing on some good information. However anyone who thinks Jeff Bezos on $162 billion is the richest person in the World is possibly being a little disingenuous. Not only the Rockerfellers but even more so the Rothschild financial mafia make Bezos look like a pauper. Why not mention them, the Trillinaire Club. Rothschilds wealth is measured in the tens of trillions.
@@norahdean5252 the Rothschild's aren't one person. Neither are the Rockefeller's. Furthermore, it's probably not easy to measure their wealth as it's doubtful they publish it or flaunt it like Bezos would. Plus he owns Amazon, so knowledge about him is more widely available.
Norah dean wheres your source
Capitalism corrupts and crony capitalism corrupts absolutely.
crony capitalism is interchangable with corruption. "crony capitalism corrupts abolutely" is a tautology and says nothing. if anything, its flat wrong because it implies you can have crony capitalism that isnt corrupt.
All capitalism is crony capitalism
What system isn't corrupt?
there is no such thing as crony capitalism , only crony socialism. Crony requires a big and powerful state / government in order to operate. Capitalist / free market societies have limited government powers and exclude government from economic decisions making ZERO opportunity for the crony. The only cronyism is socialism.
@@user-ue9bi2ui2q are you saying the current system is socialism? 😂
did you watch this video? It literally highlights the integrated web of cronyism in the current capitalist system.
Many socialists and eg anarcho capatalists actually share the same goals of small government and decentralisation albeit with different strategies.
Abby is a rare breed of journalist. Thanks for your work.
Check out 108morris108 as well!
Looks like rare because today 99% of journalist are doing their jobs completely opposite to the right way.
She looks so good.
Rare breed? This video is all one sided. Thats not rare. That progressive media. Hi hum.
Thank you miss. Martin for your "Real News" reporting.
I am a new subscriber to the «Empire Files» channel.
I came to know you through «TJDS» with the great mr. Jimmy Dore.
Now: « I am hooked to the Truth !!! »
One of the best interviews ever
Thank Abby, I am always informed by you. Keep up educating an enlightening us all who want to know. You, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald and the truth tellers keep the light on in a very dark world. Thank you.👌
Yes, yes all living in the vaunted capitalists STATE.
I love it. FEEL better now.
THANX what a GREAT INTERVIEW...very informative and this is THE video to show friends who just do not understand the problem we face....THANX Peter..and THANX ABBY...U r awesome girl.
Abby Martin is such an amazing interviewer. I've never seen a program that she's made that wasn't outstanding.
Bravo Abby Martin and the Empire Files crew!
Holy shit those are sobering statistics. Even for those of us in the know it's shocking.
The knowledge is spreading.
Not fast enough, but yes, i do believe there is a very slightly rising trend line off of zero.
No kidding! I like you knew about most of it, but I had no idea there was a private security company that had 625,000 employees!! I kept wondering, how are they going to be able to take over farmer's lands, put us in these overpopulated "towns", monitor our energy use, etc. in order to enact the UN's 2030??
Now I know...................
I've learned more names of the most powerful companies and corporations in this video than anywhere else, and I thoroughly look for news that covers the problems of and solutions to global capitalism. I've never heard of G4S, the Atlantic Council, Omnicom, IPG or WPP. these are the things we need to know to challenge these overwhelming structures, but they're too good at hiding in plain sight that it takes years for people to figure out. Keep it up Abby and Peter Phillips!
Abby Martin: Real Journalism
You are a heroic individual, an inspiration for more people than you likely know. Thank you.
Great work! Simple and precise... I have been a media professional for almost 18 years, I know what is happening. will do my best to further spread this message
The Roman empire on steroids.
Thanks Abby. You summarized tons of eyes opening information in these 22 minutes.
One of the most important videos and books out there!
I just found this show, its amazing, I would like to donate but sadly I just lost my job, but when I found one I would do it, thank you for what you do Abby Martin, you’re amazing
Thanks Abby and team. The Empire will fall. Like always has been.
But this time nukes are a thing
Absolutely outstanding interview!
Thank you Abby! Your hurculean courage to continue to bring forth the truth and shine light upon this ever growing world darkness of greed is truly honourable. Bless you and your work.
Shocking truth,
Your the best Abby,
Love from Australia.
what a great episode. Just facts and civil discussion. I'm impressed with Abby Martin.
Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing the truth about what's really going on in the world. You're a fine investigative journalist and I enjoy listening to the various guests you often have on your show. Keep up the great work.
Great interview I now have to read the book at my local library
Tsekub Baloyan My local library is full of children's books and then an entire floor dedicated to porn unfortunately. The old smaller but packed library full of educational books and fiction for various age groups in different formats was shut down for that place.
Good luck finding it at your local library.
Thats simply amazing; thank you for this interview Abby! Will be getting this book soon...
Not one advertising on your channel on UA-cam!
That tell us something about the world...
Keep doing the right work Abby!
By the way, I will buy the book, thank you.
If that's because no one in their right mind would attach themselves to this thing you should think twice
No ads, but there is a merch store.
All these people railing about capitalism are still trying to get some for themselves.
@@chrischardon6621 i mean gotta pay the bills right
Great interview, thanks Abby!
This information is invaluable and
breathtaking! Thank you!
RTd far and wide.
I always knew it would come to a time when wealth was so concentrated that the only jobs for people was to protect that wealth- hence the largest employer is security and mercenary firms.
Which are exactly what the world's militaries are for.
bpalpha actually, America is hiring lots of mercenaries. Perhaps half of our mercenaries are foreigners, often from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Mercenaries (if I remember rightly) form probably half of our armed forces in Afghanistan and they are probably employed in many countries all over the world on secret operations. The advantage of the US employing mercenaries from third world countries is that we can deny that they exist. Effectively we can wage innumerable secret wars around the world. I think the vast majority of our foreign mercenaries were employed after Trump became president. There are no official numbers on this issue. So everything I say on this is only an estimate.
right, even having a bank account and using their $$$ means inevitably supporting their agendas and interests.
Governments are owned by these corporations , period
Money rules the world. Money generates influence
which affects the policy makers.
He said Jeff Bezos is not listed. I see the book sells on Amazon. Still I'm glad to see this man on staff at Sonoma State. I will read his book in the near future.
Way too short, we should start a UA-cam channel and surveil each of the 17 investment firms
Now that's an idea worth chewing on.
I Concur yet as he stated UA-cam will Censor & Pull down the Page .
Mike Adams was starting a Platform & was shutdown as he would not provide backdoor keys to Govt .
Look up Mike Adams 👍
Abby looking extra fine here.
Yes 👍🏽
Please 🤩
Someone finally said it. I gotchu fam
That fashion nova lmao
bruh the floral heels and the latex/spandex.........bruh shit had me all steamy and dreamy
Abby is doing admirable work.
I've read this book. It is awesome.
Well, I’ve just bought the book after watching this. Looking forward to it ✌️
Never a word about the Federal Reserve Monetary System ??
Or the Zionist poos
or the reality of "International Finance." Hidden behind the same vague terms such as; Globalists, the one percent, Corporations, Investment firms, Global elite, deep state etc.. Old news in this treatment, vague and flimsy. Booo
They are the few families who control all the wealth.
Because the Federal Reserve is just the US Central Bank.
If you think that the Fed is the main thing that's wrong with the world, then you're a child.
@@itzenormous didn't anyone teach you how to join in a conversation without being a prick?
Thank you Abby for your work !
"Sharing, is caring". The problem is and will ever be, the rich and the ones in control just DON'T CARE! Thank you, Abby, for your great efforts and care for humanity... ❤
I bought this book right after this video originally came out. Its ludicrous how much money these people are worth. Giants is actually an understatement.
It's worth the read yeah?
How do the giants make your life worse? Hmmm
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz1% of 1% of the population own a minimum of 50% of property and money. At least 6 billion people (maybe more) live below the poverty line of their own respective countries. You might be good and I might be good, but what about the rest of the world?! If you don’t see that as a problem, then you have an issue with perception and perspective.
@@ronaldreagan-ik6hzjust because ware happy with the crumbs they leave the rest of us, doesn’t mean they are these Uber beneficial and benevolent people. Robber barons are robbers first.
@@reggier2343 I didn’t ask you for more one sided statistics.
I asked you- to exactly explain how “the giants” make your life - or anyone’s life-worse, less productive, poorer, etc.
It’s so popular to rail on the wealthy- yet you progressives live your lives among useless labels and you can’t define anything specifically.
Wow. Enlightening stuff as always. Keep these awesome interviews coming. Would like to see you interview Noam Chomsky.
The numbers are just mind boggling and jaw dropping. The fact that so few control so much. This really needs to change and if it doesn't soon. #ThePitchforksAreComing for the rich.
@Steven Moore Makes you wonder what fail safes are in place. If all else fails do they head to their underground bunkers while nukes are launched?
What would this world do without people like Abbey. May God protect her and help her with whatever she needs.
We need a Decentralised ‘society’, while we have a centralised system hierarchies form, inevitably become power bases. And we all know ‘’power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately’’
Haven't heard that quote, although I have read Lord Acton's famous quote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men...."
Things are not as they seem. Investigate the most important information on www.annavonreitz.com ( documents)
That would not solve the problem either, because groups will ultimatly form and take over, creating a centralised system all over again. What we really need is much different:
Money rules the world, because it rules the hearts. It rules the hearts, because they themselves are afraid of poverty. This is because they have forgotten that God provides for them and punishes them whenever he wills - whether they are rich or poor.
Therefore we must revive religion, because it makes us go from fearing poverty to fearing god - it lessens the importance of wealth and increases the importance of justice.
helping other's in need, is not only a
responsibility of life,.....it is what give's
meaning of life........money cannot buy life
It is our strength
Great interview. I just noticed this was 3 years ago, but she tweeted about this today. I wasn't going to go through 3,000 comments but I wonder if there was anybody that disliked this video or if anyone had a negative reaction. No one likes everything 100 per cent. I am sure there are more fans of Abby that watch her videos than detractors. I would still like to know what they say no matter how dumb their comments might be.
Love Abby too, but I hope everyone gets the book "Giants" by Peter Phillips. His book is like a Rosetta Stone explaining how the global capitalist system functions-- who's really making decisions and why it's so hard to fight back against them now. But, fight we must!
right to Left
See what you think of this website

"We're mainstream. You're mainstream."
YES! Thank you!
The values and feelings that we share are main stream; the relegation of our opinions to the fringe is a calculated affront perpetrated by the firms and people that have finally been named. I just bought the book, thanks Peter Phillips for having the courage to put it out there. The latex hot pants were a little distracting, and it looked like Mr. Phillips felt the same. Abby wears them like a boss for sure, but maybe not the best choice for the subject matter. I'm so grateful for Empire Files and the work you do to bring truth and transparency - like rain in the desert!
Very informative - as always, Thanks(!) Abby.
"We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one" -- 1 John 5:19 The one called Devil and Satan.
If you blindly believe the bible why don't you equally blindly believe Dr.Seuss green eggs and ham?
@@nstratford9073 I don't believe the bible blindly. I believe in the bible because I have study it for years and can see how prophesies in the past has been fulfilled, especially how the 300+ different prophesies regarding messiah was fulfilled on Jesus.
@@dribrom well that's good to hear that you actually have studied it so good on ya!!, a lot if people unfortunately just go blindly into religion after being brainwashed by their parents/priests. Have these prophecies come true after the bible was written or before the bible was written?
@@nstratford9073 Well first of all the bible is not one book. It's a collection of many different books/scrolls and letters written during roughly a 2000 year long period. From Moses to John who was the last of Jesus apostles to die around 100 A.D.
But yes there are prophesies made by Jesus that has come true. For an example Jesus foretold that the Romans would destroy the temple in Jerusalem 70 years before it happened.
@@nstratford9073 The prophecies in the Bible have been coming true since the different writings by different men through the ages were written. You would know that if you read, studied, and believed in God. Without belief you are blind and cannot see the truth. Most people that say they believe and/or go to church do not read and study the Bible and understand nothing about God or the Bible. Because I read, study, and believe, I already know what is coming in the future.
The problem is not too much capitalism, it's not enough capitalism. The problem is corporatism financed by money printed out of thin air.
Abby Martin is a shining light in an increasingly dark tempest. Fantastic!
Side note: Abby Martin, your shoes are awesome. You always have great style.
They ain't evil, they were schooled in neoliberalism where they were instructed that their greed was providing the trickle the poors need.
Thank you for exposing evil that is being presented as good.
*_On point and on time!_*
so glad i subscribed to Empire Files

Maybe but their family dynasty lives on, so your children will still be under the thumb of their children.
The 1% thrive on the misery of everyone and everything in this world.
Yes, but majority of people have always idolized the rich and famous.
Then why the fuck are you using this platform which is owned by a 1%'er? I don't see you miserable coming here to comment.
@@bellorusso what does that have anything to do with the problem at hand?
@@zesawyer1449 what the hell do you mean?
@Lelie tussen die dorings what the hell do you mean?
Listening to Mr Phillips is like listening to Alex Jones but without the loony lol. Another great doc from you Abby, TY.
Thank you Abby
I was thinking the same thing. No ranting. Just rational thoughts about same facts.
The loony is great though
the sexiest, loudest and most combative voice....Abby Martin....greetings from spain, stay safe
It's beyond the United Corporations of America now. It's global and there is SO much power in the hands of these few people. The internet can be a great teaching resource. I wonder how long we will be allowed unrestricted access to it? Make the most of it while you can people. Share this video.
Just don't be a sponge. Use your head. As George Carlin said that they own just about every bit of information that you get to see and hear. That includes the internet and this big money platform. Even things of a conspiratorial nature are there by their consent. However, MSM is anti conspiracy. So much so that it betrays itself. Even down to the local level. Primarily propaganda outlets.
Reminds me of pharaohs, extremely wealthy however it didn’t help them when they died. Wealth was stolen, taken abroad, put in museums etc. Leaders and people will be judged on how they earned, spent their wealth. The Almighty sent the final revelation the Holy Quran as a mercy and guidance. Interest is forbidden, charity known as Zakah, purification of wealth 2.5% distributed amongst the poor, not including voluntary charity known as sadaqa. Please research this aspect if you wish.
Abby Martin fantastic, informative interviews and journalism.
100% agreed
Thanks for a wonderful piece of information, just ordered the book
Is it me, or does Jeff Bezos look like Lex Luther?
By design when you watch tv there. Programming the future
You look like the Smallville version of Lex
Yu Suzuki lol 😂 he does
Just needs a white suit
Hahahahaha
Jeff Besos gets rich on underpaid overworked slave labour.

You guys did such an amazing job in this interview so much, so I'll even forgive the construction crew causing all that racket...
It's very difficult to concentrate on the subject matter of Abbie's interview, she is such a stunning beauty ,to top off her incredible humanity & intelligence. Wow, go get em" girl.
