Hello, this is Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist Movement

大家好  我是來自時代精神運動的彼德·約瑟夫

情態副詞

and I felt the need today to take a moment to publicly express

我覺得有必要花時間  公開陳述關注的焦點是

a few concerns regarding the incredible explosion that has emerged

前段時間在紐約市  由佔領華爾街所帶頭引發

across the world born out of the Occupy Wall Street initiative

由佔領華爾街所帶頭引發  席捲全球的爆炸性佔領浪潮

that began a few weeks ago in New York City.

While the mainstream media contends to more or less ignore, criticize

儘管主流媒體或多或少忽略 批評

and downplay the enormous growth potential and effect

或輕視這個反對全球金融系統的運動

this global action against the financial system is having.

(Journalist) I think if you put every single left-wing cause

(記者) 我想若你把每種個別的左派理想

into a blender and hit power, this is the sludge you'd get.

放入攪伴機弄一下  這就是一堆爛泥巴

- Like Woodstock meets Burning Man; meets people with absolutely no purpose...

就像"胡士托音樂節"加上"燃燒人節慶"  再加上完全沒有目標的人群...

(PJ) The independent media has been shining as the beacon

(PJ)一直在言論自由的燈塔上閃耀的獨立媒體

of free speech journalism more than ever.

And the interesting thing is the more the mainstream media

continues its 'status quo preservation tactics'

越是持續實行"維護現狀"的戰術

the more public attention will seek out and support the independent outlets

大眾的注意力就越是尋找支持獨立表達的出口

for the power and interest in the Occupy Movement is simply not stopping.

因為佔領運動的力量和關注  是不會輕易消失的

As of October 16th, over 1500 cities in the world are now actively taking part

從2011年10月16日起  超過1500個世界上的城市  都正在積極參與

in what is likely the largest global action ever seen.

這個可能是史上最大的全球性行動

And I suspect many others seemingly different economic protests

我認為許多目前發生在世界各地

currently occurring worldwide will eventually unify with

看似不同的經濟抗議活動  最終也將

最終也將與這個全球性的佔領運動結合

And while peaceful protest has been a staple of this action

儘管和平抗議一直都是這個行動的必要條件

police brutality and violent outbreaks are unfortunately occurring in pockets

不幸的是  警察的鎮壓和群眾的暴動也隨之發生

and this is something of deep concern to me.

It is one thing for all of us to give lip service to non-violence in such a situation

對我們全體而言  在這種情況中宣傳非暴力是一回事

and it's another to be educated and strategic in your work to restrain it.

但要實際上有策略地克制自己  又是另一回事

I speak not only to participants here, but also to law enforcement

我不只對這個運動的參與者這樣說  對於執法人員

and hence the government and financial powers they represent.

和其所代表的政府以及金融勢力  也是這樣說

In the case of violence occurring within the Occupy Movement

it's critical that if you see any person beginning to act in a violent manner

重要的是  如果你看到任何人開始有暴力舉止

you work with others to stop them in a peaceful way or make sure others

你應該聯合其它人員  用和平的方式努力阻止暴徒

或將暴徒分離  確保其它人員不受暴力影響

There's an important book that I recommend called

'The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind'

《烏合之眾：為什麼「我們」會變得瘋狂、盲目、衝動？讓你看透群眾心理的第一書》

which takes great care to discuss mass-reactions.

While many of us might think we can be completely objective

and independent in our actions, the fact is

完全客觀獨立的行動  但事實上

we are deeply influenced by the effects around us.

我們深受周圍事物的效應所影響

The 'mob mentality' can take hold almost subconsciously.

"暴民心態"幾乎在潛意識上掌控著人們

This is very important to recognize within yourself and others

與警察接觸時  能清楚認知到這一點

On that note, it is also critically important

law enforcement understand these dynamics as well.

If you, the police, expect the crowd not to be violent

如果你是警察  期待群眾不要實施暴力

then a concerted effort to withhold your communication of it, is required.

那麼就必須要共同努力  克制暴力的傳達

Just as a single rogue person can trigger an entire group

就如同單單一名惡棍  就足以在整個人群中

so do violent actions coming from you, the police.

暴力行動一定也要是從你(警察)出現

The more you show violence the more likely it will generate it

你越展現暴力  就越可能反過來產生暴力

and needless to say, there are many more protesters

更不用說  抗議者的人數遠遠超過警察

than there are police and your weapons will be absolutely meaningless

如果這些"暴民"真的試圖對抗你的話

if these mobs ever were to turn against you.

It is in your self-interest and protection to stop reacting in abusive manners.

為了你的自利和保障  必須停止用暴虐的方式去回應民眾

Every time you hurt or abuse another human being

每次當你傷害或虐待另一位人類時

you plant the seed of permission for them to hurt and abuse you and others.

You have nothing to gain by using force and everything to lose in the end.

使用暴力將得不到任何東西  最後只會失去一切

Now, that all aside, there's a quick point I would like to make

現在先把這些放一旁  我想快速說一下

I don't pretend to know what will occur as this movement continues to grow

我不會假裝是先知  但是隨著這個運動持續成長

but unless an informed, relevant set of demands are made

除非作出一套內容完整的相關訴求

It is here I will speak with respect to the values of the Zeitgeist Movement

在這點上  我會以時代精神運動的價值觀闡述說明

along with my personal views on how we could possibly transition

連同我個人觀點  討論我們如何可能過渡轉變到

into a more humane, sustainable, balanced society.

While many within the Occupy Movement promote various reforms

儘管許多佔領運動內部的人  宣傳關於現今

of the current economic and political system

others such as the Zeitgeist Movement seek a complete overhaul.

其它的路線例如時代精神運動  尋求一種完全的整頓

It is not the purpose of this video to expand upon

這部影片之目的  不是要展開說明

in the Zeitgeist Movement's observations and proposals

but suffice it to say, we seek a system based upon resource management

但可以這樣說  我們尋求一種基於資源管理的體系

as the starting point of all industrial decisions, coupled with a recognition

作為所有產業決策的起點  並認知到

that the efficiency enabled by our modern understandings

in science and technology will be what can provide and meet the needs

所能帶來的效率  將可以提供並且滿足

of the entire human population and create true sustainability.

全人類的需求  並創造真正的永續性

The manifestation of these elements are what will comprise

what we often refer to as a Resource-Based Economic Model.

我們經常提到的資源導向型經濟模型

To understand the basis of this train of thought more clearly

為了進一步理解這種思維模式的基礎

I do suggest two books: one is called 'Critical Path' by Buckminster Fuller

在此推薦兩本書:巴克敏斯特·富勒的《要徑》

and the other is called 'The Best that Money Can't Buy' by Jacque Fresco.

以及雅克·法斯科的《至善金難買》

From there the reader should begin to see

從這些著作中  讀者應該能開始瞭解

that our current financially based economic model

is intrinsically flawed, and no regulation of this system

具有本質上的缺陷  對於此體系的任何調控整頓

will likely solve the real problems we face at hand.

都將不能解決目前面臨的真正問題

And if this view is accepted; the view that we need to employ

如果接受這個觀點  即我們需要實行一種

a completely different socio-economic model

to meet the needs of the human population

and become truly sustainable on the planet Earth

the question of course becomes: how do we get there?

那麼問題當然就變成:我們該如何著手?

In my personal view, the Occupy Movement could be the seed

以我個人觀點而言  佔領運動可能會成為

for a transition out of the current paradigm into a new one.

脫離目前模式的過渡階段  以達到新模式的種子

By its natural evolution, the Occupy Movement has characteristics

由於自身的自然演變  佔領運動本身的特色

that are very revealing with respect to the true nature of the problems at hand.

對於目前問題的真正本質  具有重要的啟示性

The fact that this act of contempt is occurring without borders

or in certain cases, without even respect to the political system itself

甚至在某些情況中  也無關政治體系

rather targeting the financial system, shows an amazing new awareness.

只是針對金融體系的鄙視運動  展現了一種驚人的新意識

My first suggestion is to unify the regional movements

我的第一個建議是  聯合區域性的運動

into a global entity through representatives

通過代表們變成一個全球性的存在

where each major region has a personal link to each other.

於其中每一個主要區域的個人彼此都能聯繫
