[This is not exactly what was said. I paraphrased where I could, because I don't type as fast as he talks. His answers and general speech were much more elaborate; I left entire sections out here and there. Also, as a point of interest, I think he left out some questions. So, don't develop hostile debate tactics based on potential misinformation/misquotes.]

PETER JOSEPH BI-WEEKLY RADIO
----------------------------
Here are some things I want to go into before I answer questions:
I want to let everyone know about alternatives in packaging in general. Make universal compartment structures. Computer: all its parts are interchangeable. This will result in a dramatic ecological shift, reduction of waste, also in regard to homes. Think of the big picture, which people don't do today because of the profit system.
Third-party sites. Becoming a little splintered. Going to set up a third-party link page. But also have to deal with the legal problems regarding these sites. Problems will be dealt with but it's not a too big deal.
Question 1: Why didn't the government try to censor the site or the movie?
They usually do it in the onset. But once it's in the public domain they can't do anything. They don't want to create martyrs. Asked John Perkins how he was able to write his book. "Once it's out there they really have to leave you alone." Basically they don't want to create martyrs. They think the public don't have individual power; this is how outside of reality the power elite really are.
Question 2: "When you talk about incentive you don't really elaborate on the issue." Why will people do things?
The concept should be pretty obvious in how conditioned that reaction is. There's a great amount of volunteerism. Margerete Meed [??] "The greatest values are things we do for each other and ourselves." The stress will be relieved regarding current institution. We'll transcend this need for constant reward. It will be for their best interest after becoming aware of their consequences. The value systems will be updated. This is not philosophy; it's just legitimate. Eliminate ego, materialistic reward. No singularity.
Question: Some people think people aren't born without greed. Any research?
Naturally, we need to eat. Greed is a different level, beyond nature. Entire current system is based on greed. Before WWII the consumption was half of what it is today! We have been conditioned to accept and act upon cyclical consumption. Jacque Lobe [??] went into instinct, as far as research goes. "You can't give me a word like instinct." Instinct is a religious notion. Search Archive.org for a lot of his old works.
Question 4: What does Peter Richard, Hawkings and [???].
I they're fantastic but don't identify with some of their world views.
Question 5: How did the monetary system come to place?
Doesn't matter how much legislation you create to repeal the monetary system.
Question 6: Does you think that the root of a problem is innocent ignorance?
Yes. Innocent ignorance is an interesting point. If you look at for instance the KKK, it's a despotic disposition, but if you sit down and talk with them you'll find a bit of this innocence within them. Critical thinking in that context just goes in loops until they're more educated. It's more like critical observation. You can't think yourself out of a box without new information.
Question 7: What kind of education did you have?
I dropped out of art school. Basically self-taught. Always been interested in religion and politics. I reject credentialism. Jacque is a classic example, dropped out at 14. Left school because it was education to go into a business.
Question 7: What communities and efforts are already out there to reduce....
Education is completely backwards. If everyone thought for themselves, wanting to know more and more, society would undergo such a rapid change that those in power won't be able to deal with it.
Question 8: What do I think of the movements supporting and connecting movements that.... What about green movements and the like?
As far as the communication teams I can't stress enough to pull in Greenpeace. Detach from the naivety. You never see Greenpeace talk about the monetary system. Until they realize, they're just patchwork. We have to get the foundation out there, what the monetary system is. Not just the surface corruption. Until they do that, I can only hope that they eventually wake up to this reality. I'd like for all of them to come into this. It's really an umbrella for the green movements, etc. I definitely invite. Unfortunately they are also business, so they tend to have an establishment to support. They tend to recoil because of this.
Question 9: I have always heard you talk about how we always vote for people instead of issues.
I need to look into what the national initiative is. After radio is over I'll look into it. When it comes to democracy and voting, there was really never a democracy. A true democracy would be insane in the current lacking educational system. This is a touchy subject. As far as democracy is concerned, people's contributions are related to how society actually functions. Taxes don't actually exist. It's a complete illusion. In our new system, you contribute into the system, it's picked up by a computer system. Goods of the people and observation of environment: that is all government should be. The system would be intelligent. It would say, "Your materials were actually tried in [name a date]. Based on our current calculations...." It can immediately give you feedback about the products you're trying to invent. "We RECOMMEND you do this and this and this." It's a logical, technical process. If you had an idea for a large underwater tunnel, the computer would understand the gravity and pressure, and other factors. May not even have the current technology to do it. Is it idealistic? No, it already exists on a smaller scale. Our creativity is still in existence. It's balanced with computational systems. You don't just punch a card for people to get voted in. That's all money related. It's a very long-winded topic. I can elaborate more in time with more feedback.
Question 10: Have you received death threats?
Not very recently, but they're typically from religious groups being all talk.
Question 11: More personal forum relation?
Yes, I'm doing it as I speak on here!
Question 12: [??]
That's a big issue. We have to figure out a way to bridge the issues. We have to relay to the religious that we have differences yet have a common ground. We want shelter, food, requiring the same basic needs. There's no point in worrying about all the other things everyone today talks about. The way I showed Part I was very direct. I do have to retract slightly because telling people they're wrong is the wrong way for communication. People have to realize things themselves. Islam has surpassed Christianity. Based on their pattern, the UN resolutions they're coming out, is bad. The [?? organization] is trying to make the first film illegal. Islam is a very problematic religion. It is the most dangerous out of all of them. It could be peace, but if you read through the religious books it's extremely negative. It's a barrier, but I hope they'll look past it. Very difficult.
Question 13: Hackers would be the biggest problem. Have we designed to reduce hackers?
In an advanced society we'd have *redundancy*. Everything will be computerized, we have many different pilots. Everything is too expensive in the current system. BIG difference in the approach. The circular city will eventually be able to be monitored by no more than a small system you'd find in an office. If a hacker comes in you shift and then move on. Unless we're in a transition, why would someone want to hack a system that feeds them. The motivation won't exist. Any exceptions will be seen in horror by society.
Question 14: What is your global warming position.
Obviously governments have been using it to their advantage. Tax credits and so on. There is some form of change but I haven't seen enough to make a stance. It could be an issue but there are many other very important issues. The oceans are running out of fish: this is a more real reality. Removal of bees, etc., very problematic.
Question 15: Implement global disarmament.
It would be realized there would be no point in having weapons anymore. If you have a meteor, yes, you have to take it out. But armament wouldn't be against the people. No reason to be scared of each other. We'll see a tremendous reduction in crime. No one's forced to get rid of their guns, but the reasons behind it will fade.
Question 16: How refrain from being lazy?
Most people's lives have been stolen from them. Born into the system, put in education (200 years old, very bad), cookie cutter processing plant. Suddenly this is your purpose. Most people I meet don't care about their jobs. I think they lie to themselves to a large degree. Can't find anyone who really loves their job. Laziness is a rejection of all the stuff we're forced to do. We sit in television because we're conditioned and in debt. They love to do things outside of their jobs. You're really not lazy.
Question 17: You believe in peaceful coexistence with other democracies. If yes, do we need a cybernated army?
We can only hope that when first city is made it'll be accepted. But in current systems, there are false-flag events in order for establishments to be maintained. I think there will have to be some kind of protection systems in the transition. It's the only logical way to think about it. We have a lot to do, but it's the only transition possible if we don't want to destroy ourselves. WW III would not be survived by many. Pentagon is talking about fully automated machines to kill people. We have to stand up to these people immediately. I will talk about this more in the future. We have a race against time.
Question 18: What about the New York Times 9/11 comment?
When I read it I didn't even think about that comment. I've said my piece about 9/11. He made it sound like I was detracting the whole thing. I talk of these issues still, but I have moved away from them.
Question 19: What are your plans of this movement if there is martial law?
Very important question. Basically the numbers need to be powerful in our movement so that the standing armies can't compare. This is very dramatic but true. I can't remember how many police there are. Considering how many people are on this planet versus the people for martial law, etc. (it's not their fault).... There's no way the establishment can find enough people. We need millions of people. If there was ever a march on Washington, it would be millions. We're set to create this rebellion. We have to be the largest mass movement the world has ever seen. The military will be very small in numbers, and will feel horror in going against such numbers. The numbers are so vast that the establishment doesn't stand a chance. It will be catalystic when it happens. What people should be mad about is the establishment itself, not AIG, etc. Our problems won't go away otherwise. Tell everyone how the system is designed to fail. We can't handle the cycle anymore.
Question 20: You believe decisions of technical committee should be by the people, or should they be forced against their will (aka technocracy)?
No such thing as a direct democracy (currently?). If someone comes up with a better system for food production, why would someone want to regress into something less optimized? You submit things until it comes through as relevant. Yes, and no. Very difficult thing to talk about with people. There really is an optimization for everything. With all the noise I can see how people have a difficult time with this. I'm going to have to talk about this a lot more.
Question ??: You aware of the affiliation with Artivist?
They were one of the sponsors for both films. They're funded by sponsorship.
Question ??: You have any affiliation with Petrobras?
I don't move against biomass.
Question ??: You have any plans for a communication strategy that will deal with people of anti....
Question 27: The orientation presentation wasn't for activism really.
I plan on creating sections of the site entailing Hi-Fi and Lo-Fi activism. Hi-Fi is most advanced in The Venus Project. Lo-Fi activism has to do with things we have to do now. We have tremendous ecological problems. Stop patchwork. Doesn't mean we have to ignore the problems right now, however. Speak out against draconian legislation and UN activities. We can't have this idea the basic idea of that activists have to return to some ideal American existence despite that there never really was. It's not forward thinking, it's not progressive. We are losing topsoil, the bees, the environment. Regionally oriented groups (conceptually such as Greenpeace) we need to contact.
Question 28: You feel economic collapse is something that will inevitably happen. How soon?
It will come technically in technological unemployment. It's the nail in the coffin. Not going to go away. Always going to be scientists. Is it going to go for betterment or for worsening? With extreme rising unemployment it's only going to be compounded by the technological unemployment. Either they deliberately withhold technology or they [something]; if this happens it's insanity. Technology will free people. It will create more free times for people. It will be used to its highest advantage. It's our emancipation proclamation. Focus of the society is to use technology to relieve us from problems. The economic collapse will happen one way or another. Doesn't matter what they do with the banking system. People won't have the money to buy things.
Question 29: I have concerns regarding the orientation. Mass automation is a good idea. But what about people's passion willing to give passion over to machines?
You claim dehumanization? We are developing machines that improve our performance. If wearing glasses is dehumanizing, I don't see how that makes any sense. We interact with machines to get best possible feedback. With auto-mechanics, they won't just take out springs. We could develop new automotive system. If you want to cook, you'll have a kitchen to do it! But if you don't, you'll have systems. If you love cooking, you'll have what you need. If you want to do it the conditions will be made for that to be done. Same thing goes for doctors. They would constantly be researching rather than performing all the time!
Question 30: This issue of no property sounds like communism.
I don't like people driving my car. I can console with this question. Communism didn't have a chance. It was designed to free the proletariat. They didn't do that at all! It didn't work. It didn't address the source of the problem: resources and scarcity of it. Property is not something people appreciate. People don't know what they're talking about. They just like the access. The idea of property has no basis because of this. It becomes more strategic, too. It's psychologically difficult right now. You're not restricted from having things! It can be done. No one owns one of everything. We share things. I can't stress enough that property is an outgrowth of scarcity. I have reduced what I own. It's pointless to have all this stuff. It's just a waste and unbelievable. This conversation is due for a larger point.
Question 31: Quoting forum comment: I'm not interested in conspiracy (2012 etc). This is turning into a clubhouse of ban topics. Is this about truth, or are you NWO?
Heh, well the reason I point out those points is that they don't do anything. It doesn't do anything to point out that there are people who want to dominate the world. Even if it's true, which it isn't, it doesn't do anything. I want to focus on things that focus on positive change. The dark doesn't even matter anymore! Greatest form of activism isn't the exposure of fraud since the dawn of civilization, it's really about giving the solution, having people identify with it, then moving forward with it. All the secret society groups will be trampled because they have nothing. They're so small; we're too big. They only have the military and police. If we can get to them, the establishment is over. As far as the other points I don't talk about 2012 etc because it isn't relative to us. If aliens land I'll be glad to meet them. Go ahead and talk about it in the Miscellaneous section.
Question 32: You need to start a [??] chapter of the movement.
This is a new section I'll start regarding 3rd party groups. We'll have general points about what people can do. We do need more chapters. I've thought about New York chapters I can get involved in. If you build a website, send it to us, keep active, there's only so much we can do. I don't have enough people to do it currently. It's lack of resources right now.
Question 33: Lots of controversy at the end of Addendum. It's supposed to be more blurred than it is. I wanted people to know it's Times Square. Looking back on it, I should have blurred it out more.
Question 34: What is your take on the Strawman conception?
I haven't had enough time to look into that.
Question 35: What about guns? People in Venus will want to keep their guns. What about hunters?
Guns, overall, legislation is not going to happen. So my hope is that eventually people will shift their notions away from primitive gun concepts. Unless you're hunting for food which isn't really necessary for the system, it's one of the transitional points that will have to be addressed. People have reasons for what they do. Would they be outlawed? No, there's no laws. People come together and figure out the problem immediately.
Question 36: You meet Jacque? Or did he meet you?
I saw Future By Design; I sent out an e-mail to the creator. It eventually reached Jacque, they invited me to visit, and I was blown away.
Question 37: Was the Holocaust real?
The Holocaust actually happened. There's a lot of extreme conspiracies. Doesn't mean I'm anti-Semitic. Zionists use it to their advantage with support from even the US.
Question 38: What can the young people who don't have land our money do to start ideas such as self-sufficient housing? What can they do for self-sufficiency?
There's a lot people can do to reduce complexity of their life and be more considerate to the environment. There's a good book I have. It depends on how dedicated you really are. I live in my own apartment. Even though I advocate this Lo-Fi source of activism I can't stand the constituents of their results. If everyone got off the grid it would be powerful. But a small amount won't really do much. I got an e-mail from someone commenting on Wal-mart. "We have to teach people to stop shopping at Wal-mart. It'll stop problems." That's all good, but there are people that can't afford things from places other than Wal-mart. They don't have the luxury. It's an attribute of the system that's problematic. Do what you can, is all I can say. Recycle, get off the grid, reject establishments---as much as you can!
Question 39: Is the educational system...? We are taught all the same things.
Question 41: In the spirit of liking being wrong, I find power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely to be interesting. What is your actual take on this?
Power has to have a reason. And it has to have a reward. The whole definition of power is ownership over something. World government by the banking elite that's happening as it collapses will be absolutely horrifying. They'll control everyone's lives. There's a huge difference between this and a resource-based economy. The power to orient the society is very different from power elites that perpetuate the system through economics. Absolute power corrupts in a monetary system.
Question 42: Are we building a city in Florida first as a guinea pig, or be more spread?
We have to make a global system. That's way down the line. It's a very different system to overcome. It would be used to show what is possible. Hopefully we can find leaders that can move out of their current position. They should really come to our side unless they're really irrational based on dogmatic/etc. notions. Everyone likes to get one-up on one another. It's basically going to have to be both. First step is education, like Jacque's public interest film.
Question 43: You a [??] fan?
I noticed they try to show my work with their work.
Question 44: Peter are you or Jacque aware of the risks that may have a high level of artificial intelligence that form complex situations than us?
In a NY presentation I had a list of Hollywood films; it's a fantasy. It's our decisions to decide what the machines do. I go back to the Pentagon issue. It's our own superstition.
Question 45: What do I think of the TED TALKS, should Jacque attend.
There was an e-mail campaign to try to do this. TED was very booked however. I will try to do this eventually.
Question 46: You familiar with the wildcat banking?
The banking power isn't going to change, whether distributed regionally or otherwise, these things aren't going to stop. Jackson did a great thing. But nationalizing the Fed is just going to create a different mask. The Fed is a collusion.
Question 48: Will you be on the Alex Jones?
Only if he retracts all the nonsense. I couldn't believe the propaganda. Venus was related to Luciferian relations.
Question 49: Whose idea was the interdisciplinary teams?
Jacque's. He mentions it in his works.
Question 50: Would you mind stressing to supporters the goodness of not just relying on you for action?
The majority don't seem to have a full grasp of what all the tenets are. It's great people are interested, but they need to understand everything greatly, to the extent that I do. I don't want a centralized construct, but.... People who are new to the movement get confused. We need organized collectives everywhere. We could get some splinter groups that are really going in a completely different direction.
Question 51: Do you have any plans on constructing...?
Oh yes, of course. The circular city is a great starting point. We found a plot of land, we create forms of the industry. We regulate all agriculture. Granted in the monetary system it can be very expensive. We have to self-sustaining facilities. We have done an extreme number on our health because of environmental issues. I
Question 52: Can you comment on the many self-sustaining methods such as Earthships?
There are many great ideas. It's giving the initiative. In the technology section, one of the points we have is not innovations but improvements on the issues we have now. We could overcome any problem with this kind of ingenuity. When we eliminate money it'll be even greater.
Question 53: What sorts of things can we do to actively reject such things as money? Do you think there should be a countdown to show the day of money elimination?
Poetry would be the fundamental element there. I find it difficult to find too many to take on that. Maybe on the next Z-Day. I have another day, with conferences and multi-tiered building. It wasn't really long enough on Z-Day. Maybe we can have something like this next Z-Day, maybe even sooner than that. I like artistic things like that.
Question 54: You believe in a higher energy?
I don't know what that means. It's a metaphysical question. Is there a larger order? It's not really metaphysical. There's still a physical adaptation to it. They think there's something beyond. It's only temporarily beyond. Collective consciousness would be the higher order.
I don't think I missed any questions. We're going to set up a forum just for questions. I want to thank all the moderators and the administrators. It's fantastic to see so much interest. Don't worry, we'll find more things to create. It's never been done before. It's important that people don't fall back that it's idealistic or impractical. The means is the end. We orientate people on a specific train of thought. Hopefully we don't get to the point where people end up having to pay $10 for water because of the scarcity. If we do get to that point, we still have to focus on the positive.
We can't focus on the minor things like what Obama legislates. Don't get too caught up in that! Get their head around our particular concepts. Once they see the light, they don't have that far to go. I didn't intend to scare people to begin with. If you stress the positive it gives that much more motivation to move forward. When it comes to hate mongering and war mentalities, with people that have radio shows like this. The establishments still have their establishments to preserve. It makes them very immobile! Global warming is a great relevancy to this. People get to the point that they want to go against global warming in these industries. Because they make money, they can't rationalize the situation out of it.
I hope this is clear. I'm a bit tired today. I can be more thorough in the future. Tanktop will make a new forum just for this radio show. We may do it once a week in the future. I just got my 90 second cue to shut this down. Thank you all very much.
