  • I want to thank all of you

  • for coming

  • and doing the work you're doing to inform other people.

  • I'm gonna say a lot of things that may bother some of you.

  • But please be patient.

  • I'm not your enemy.

  • I'm gonna tell you things that...

  • about you society you may or may not know.

  • I want to say first

  • that the language we speak

  • was designed hundreds of years ago.

  • And it's almost impossible

  • to talk to one another.

  • Although we think we talk to one another,

  • we really repeat in language

  • that's highly insufficient.

  • Whatever you say to other people, it goes in their heads

  • and comes out to fit their society.

  • You don't always communicate with people.

  • So the problem is -

  • can we develop a language

  • that has

  • consistent meaning?

  • Well, if you still don't understand me -

  • sometimes I might say "Have a nice weekend."

  • Why don't we say "Have a nice life"?

  • Why just a weekend?

  • Our language, again, is old.

  • Is it possible to devise a language

  • that's not subject to interpretation?

  • When you read the bible,

  • (if you do)

  • it says "Jesus meant this" (somebody says that).

  • "Oh, no. He meant that."

  • The third people says "You're both wrong. This is what he really meant."

  • So you have the Lutheran,

  • the seven days Adventist, the Catholic,

  • because it's subject

  • to interpretation.

  • The language of chemistry, mathematics,

  • science,

  • engineering

  • is not subject to interpretation.

  • When a chemist writes a formula,

  • no matter what country it goes to, they interpret it the same way.

  • I'm trying to tell you, it's possible

  • to develop a language

  • that's not subject to interpretation.

  • So, we really talk at each other,

  • rather than to one another.

  • That's a major problem, that's why lawyers exist.

  • They can take language,

  • mold it, reshape it.

  • But you can't do that.

  • Those of you who do want to know how to communicate,

  • there are books

  • such as "Science and sanity"

  • by Alfred Korzybski,

  • "Language in Thought and Action" by [Samuel Ichiye] Hayakawa,

  • "The Tyranny of Words"

  • by Stuart Chase.

  • You don't even know this, but the words you use

  • have no communication value.

  • Take junior grade school for example.

  • When a teacher says to a child "That's wrong"

  • that doesn't tell the child anything. Think about that.

  • "That's wrong". What does that tell you?

  • Nothing in particular.

  • And the teacher says "That's not what I told you". That doesn't tell the child anything.

  • So the most of our language is empty.

  • And there's another bullshit word. And that's "love".

  • Don't get mad at me. Hear me out.

  • Now, most of us don't like everything we've done in life.

  • I'm sure we don't.

  • We've made mistakes. We've made false judgements.

  • So, sometimes you like yourself.

  • Sometimes a little bit. Sometimes not at all.

  • So, love is a fluctuating thing.

  • Even if you marry somebody and love them,

  • you'll find sometimes you love them very much,

  • sometimes little less,

  • sometimes "How did I ever get in this situation?"

  • So, love is a fluctuating thing, not a fixed thing.

  • That's why we don't understand what's happening.

  • Sometimes a guy is conditioned by society

  • to like a girl of a particular configuration.

  • But he marries a girl of a different configuration. And he is always looking

  • at different configurations.

  • And you think "What the hell is the matter with this guy?"

  • Nothing is the matter with him. He was brought up that way.

  • There are not good or bad people.

  • There are no creative people or lazy people. All that is bullshit put out

  • by your country.

  • Now I gonna tell you a little bit about it.

  • If you were raised by the headhunters of the Amazon.

  • You'd be a headhunter.

  • And If I've said to you "Doesn't it bother you to have five shrunken heads?"

  • He'll say "Yes, my brother have twenty."

  • So... Is he nuts? No. That's normal to his culture.

  • If you were brought up in ancient Rome, assuming you were Christian.

  • The Romes believed in many different gods.

  • And you come up with one god, you must be nuts.

  • So they put you in an arena with a lot of hungry lions.

  • And they starve the lions for week to put on the good show.

  • Then they take the clothes off the Christians.

  • So the lions can tear on them easy.

  • The whole family would come Saturday and Sunday

  • to see Christians fed to lions.

  • .

  • And the kids would say "Daddy, can I come next week to see Christians fed to lions."

  • Dad says - "If you behave yourself."

  • Now... Are this people nuts? No. That's normal to that culture.

  • Just as we go to prize fights

  • and watch men punch the heads of other men.

  • All the things we do are stupid and far beyond civilization.

  • We are not civilized yet.

  • That's why you have prisons,

  • police, war

  • and all the problems you have. Unnecessary human suffering.

  • Because people don't understand yet.

  • There are schools to not educate people. They teach you to become a cog in a wheel

  • as Roxanne pointed out.

  • They teach them to become a carpenter,

  • an engineer, an architect.

  • All these are false fields.

  • They have to teach you

  • how to become a generalist.

  • How to understand the history of civilization

  • which is lacking in all our universities.

  • They will be shut down in the future

  • and people will be brought up to become generalists.

  • So they understand human behavior, they understand what makes a person,

  • what gives a person drive.

  • So all of us are brought up to believe there are different kinds of people,

  • which is a lie.

  • That the Japanese mind can't grasp technology.

  • That the Chinese can't understand certain things. And always get a dumb Polak

  • to clean out your cellar.

  • And a damn Italians are waps. They brought

  • the mafia to this country.

  • And all that hatred comes from

  • cheap labor. As rule when the first Irish came to this country.

  • They worked for the one half the amount Americans worked for.

  • "So let's get rid

  • of those damn Irishmen.

  • They are no good." They took their jobs away. That's why we've got mad at them.

  • And during the depression

  • if a factory put up a sign "Help wanted"

  • everybody lined up to get a job, hundreds of people.

  • And normal Americans - normal means fucked up -

  • normal Americans

  • would say "Let's get the god damn waps out of the line". "Let's get the god damn Filipinos out of the line".

  • Because they threaten our jobs.

  • That's why they do that. Racial hatred is tolerated

  • and brought about. But I want to tell you this -

  • If a normal American baby or Greek baby, or French baby

  • were brought up in Nazi Germany.

  • And all they see is "Heil Hilter! Deutschland über alles!" (Germany above all)

  • They become Nazis.

  • If you brought up in America - you become "Yes, sir. I'm an American and I proud of it."

  • Most Americans don't know

  • that George Washington, the first president,

  • had three hundred slaves.

  • Today he'd be arrested

  • as a nut.

  • And the most of the people... Harry Truman,

  • president Truman

  • was a hat salesman,

  • real jackass

  • in presidential position.

  • Now, who are these people in government? What is a politician?

  • I don't want you to take my word. I want you to walk over

  • to any politician you know

  • Or do not know. And ask them

  • "How can you grow food faster without exhausting the soil? and feed the hungry?"

  • "- I don't know."

  • "How can you make automobiles that don't hit in each other?"

  • "- I don't know."

  • "How can you make highways safer?" - "I don't know."

  • They don't know anything. Don't take my word for it. Ask them.

  • They really don't know a damn thing.

  • And I mean politicians all over the world.

  • All countries,

  • all are basically corrupt.

  • If you don't understand what I'm saying

  • Where do you think America got America from?

  • You think the Indians - "Come on over and enjoy yourself, take all the land you want."

  • No, we kill thousands of Indians.

  • We starved 50 million buffalo

  • to make it tough for the Indians.

  • And the Indians have fought back.

  • They really tried to take

  • some land back.

  • But the government decided that they want to get rid of those aggressive Indians.

  • That wouldn't

  • conform to what we wanted.

  • So they offered 10 bucks for every Indian you killed.

  • And the guy walked over and said - "I just killed 10 Indians."

  • The government says - "How do we know that?

  • Bring back a piece of the Indian."

  • So they started scalping.

  • Americans, not the Indians.

  • And we brought back 10 scalps to collect 10 bucks

  • for every Indian you killed.

  • Americans are no good, French are good, The Greeks are no good.

  • All nations are corrupt.

  • They say "The sun never sets on England."

  • Where do you think England got all that land from?

  • They took it

  • by killing thousands of people.

  • So, If you don't like the guy next door.

  • If you shoot him

  • and missed by one inch,

  • you're not a murderer.

  • But if your aim is a little better, you're a murderer.

  • If you hit the guy.

  • So, today they have guns,

  • machine guns with the laser beams,

  • When it's on you and you pull the trigger, bullets come out.

  • If it's a little off, no bullets come out.

  • The guns are getting smarter.

  • Soldiers are getting dumber.

  • And they are killing machines.

  • We would train soldiers

  • to be problem solvers, send them back to school.

  • How do you bridge

  • the difference between nations. How do you improve agriculture.

  • How do we fight hurricanes, heart disease. This is the real problem. Not killing. When you

  • kill people and bomb cities... Consider the abortionist.

  • Some people say "Jeez, it's terrible. They commit abortion, they take a life."

  • If these people were consistently educated,

  • when you have war you kill pregnant women,

  • children, everybody. Why don't they fight against war? Why just abortionist?

  • There is something dreadfully wrong with all our schools.

  • They have better equipment than ever (the universities).

  • The best.

  • And the war is getting worse.

  • The atom bombs considered nothing today

  • compared to the cobalt bomb.

  • They would kill many more people.

  • Each submarine (I'm talking about America, it's the only country I have information on)

  • has 300 hundred submarines.

  • According to the navy

  • each one

  • has more destructive power

  • than all the wars in history.

  • What can you accomplish with that?

  • Then they tell you other things.

  • They tell you things like be good, be kind.

  • How can you be kind or good? Suppose I have a factory

  • and I turn out things

  • ten times faster than your factory.

  • Same product.

  • If I share that with you, I'll lose the competitive edge.

  • If I have patents,

  • I deprive people all over the world from making things that make life better.

  • So how can you be decent?

  • So you go to church on Sunday and what do you do there?

  • You look at the clothes of other people.

  • Everybody dressed

  • to outpace the other person.

  • And so when they go to church, what do they do mostly - bother god.

  • "We need a new car. My wife needs a car. I'd like a home in the country.

  • And I like this, I like that."

  • And they say that god knows everything.

  • That's what they teach you in church.

  • God knows everything. He made every planet, every galaxy.

  • So when I went to church, I insulted

  • the minister by saying: "If god knows everything,

  • why did Jesus insult God?"

  • He said - "I don't remember Jesus insulting God".

  • Well, they crucified Jesus.

  • Just before they crucified him,

  • he looked up and said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

  • And God said "Jeez, I didn't know that. Thanks."

  • You know, if he knows everything what is Jesus talking to him about?

  • What are you talking to him about? (if he knows everything)

  • "Aunt Manny is sick and she is suffering. Please ease the pain."

  • "Well, I didn't know about that Aunt Manny. O.k."

  • So, you see,

  • man makes God in his own image - Some jerk that get angry and says

  • "Noah, build yourself an ark.

  • I'm gonna

  • flood the whole area. I don't like the products I turned out."

  • He want to kill everybody.

  • So, Noah

  • is to build an ark.

  • If he took two kinds of every animal,

  • the ark would be about a mile long.

  • Who cleans the shit out of that boat?

  • The story is so ridiculous,

  • it not even sensible.

  • So when I... I read the bible instead of the comic strips.

  • Because there is nothing in it that makes sense.

  • God sits on the throne.

  • He makes a men and a women, puts them in a beautiful garden.

  • And then he has a snake,

  • that walks upright.

  • According to the bible, not me.

  • And the snake says "Eat of the fruit of knowledge"

  • And Eve did that.

  • And he kicked them both out and slammed at the gates shut.

  • All loving, all kind God.

  • The contradictions are so thick in the bible.

  • It's amazing that everybody doesn't see it.

  • Now, in the bible (if you're religious) it says "Thou shalt not kill".

  • It doesn't say "You can kill Wednesdays and Thursdays".

  • It says "Thou shalt not kill".

  • Than it says

  • "Love thy enemy". Meaning if a man strikes you, turn the other cheek.

  • And what happens in times of war?

  • What's the matter with these Christians?

  • Larry Kind once said

  • "What do you think of Christianity, Fresco?"

  • "This is a great idea, when are they putting it into practice?"

  • Frankly, I've never met a Christian.

  • That forgives

  • people.

  • That loves the enemy.

  • That turns the other cheek.

  • That has no locks on the door,

  • When a hungry person knocks, they bring them in and say

  • "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

  • I never met a Christian.

  • Never found one everywhere I've traveled.

  • So, the point is,

  • all of us need security.

  • All people, all over the world need clean air,

  • clean water,

  • arable land

  • and a relevant education.

  • What is relevant education means?

  • to study agriculture,

  • nature, how we relate to nature,

  • how we relate to one another.

  • To give us the tools

  • to live in accordance with what we want.

  • Not what they want you to be.

  • They want you to be patriotic. That meant they want to control you.

  • Patriotism

  • (Einstein said) is a disease.

  • But he couldn't say that publicly.

  • When he came to this country,

  • he was a socialist (to America).

  • And they said "Don't talk socialism. They will ship your ass

  • back to Germany."

  • So he wouldn't talk about it.

  • Einstein... I once asked him whether he felt that

  • uh... social designed with the

  • social design would be prevalent for all people, useful.

  • He said, he was a socialist. He really didn't know the anatomy

  • of social design.

  • He said "You are interested in mathematics?"

  • I said "Yes, as a tool".

  • But he didn't really know the process of social design.

  • I asked communists "How will you prevent

  • corruption in the future?"

  • They said "Well, when that time comes," (This is at the Great Depression)

  • "That time comes, we'll work on it."

  • I asked them "How will house millions of people?"

  • "Well, ah, when that time comes, we'll work on that."

  • I said "Let's start a technical branch

  • of the communist party or the socialist party

  • or any party

  • to make live

  • secure for all people. So no one can become corrupt."

  • They said "You are deviating from the teachings of Marx. You'll have to leave."

  • I wasn't trying to deviate or disrupt communists.

  • I was trying to give them methods of solving problems.

  • So I joined (at that time, during the Depression),

  • I joined Technocracy.

  • Because they talked about using science in government.

  • But there were no black in the organisation.

  • And I said "How come there's no blacks?"

  • They said "Well, let them start their own section."

  • I said "What about orientals?"

  • They said "The oriental mind can't grasp technology."

  • Of course, as you know today,

  • they lead the world in robotics.

  • So, all our thoughts about different kinds of people are lies.

  • They are not real.

  • We have to understand that all people tend to love their kids.

  • All people want their kids to be better educated.

  • All people want to know about nutrition.

  • So, let's say the drug companies were really sincere.

  • And they found out that celery juice

  • lowers blood pressure.

  • You can't make any money selling celery juice, 'cause...

  • But you can get two bucks for every pill you sell.

  • So, there was a book written many years ago.

  • I also like to know how many people ever heard of it.

  • "A Hundred

  • Million Guinea Pigs."

  • How many of you have heard of that book?

  • It should have been in every library. It's not.

  • What did "A Hundred Million Guinea Pigs" talk about?

  • The lies put out by the drug companies.

  • And the people of America (it was a bestseller by the way in America,

  • years ago)

  • And they demanded that the government put in a Food and Drug

  • Administration

  • to check the claims

  • of the drug companies.

  • And they did. They got that in.

  • Now it's run by people of the drug companies.

  • Everything becomes corrupt.

  • Everything we touch.

  • So Oppenheimer

  • went to visit Harry Truman (president Harry Truman).

  • and said "Now that we have an atom bomb.

  • Why don't you demonstrate it about 30 miles out at sea?

  • So that Japanese can see it.

  • So you won't have to drop it over Japan.

  • Give them a change to surrender."

  • Harry Truman said "Get out of my office.

  • I never want to see you guys again."

  • And they dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

  • Because he was a jackass.

  • Most presidents are very stupid people.

  • They know nothing about ecology,

  • evolution of the society.

  • (Well, I have ever...) No politician has ever increased the agricultural yield,

  • made automobiles safer, airplanes safer. What the hell they're doing there?

  • How did they get the job?

  • There is something dreadfully wrong with education.

  • The people in Washington...

  • I can only talk about them. I believe all countries are similar.

  • The people in Washington should know more about human behavior,

  • the latest technologies.

  • They tell you - "If you want freedom, write your congressman."

  • Why do you have to write them?

  • He should know

  • all those things.

  • When you fly on an airplane, you don't have to write the pilot.

  • Say, you've been flying at an angle for a half an hour. Straighten up.

  • They know their business.

  • The same for government. They should know everything about modern technology,

  • human behavior.

  • When you put a man in prison.

  • Say he stole a watch that costs

  • 150 dollars.

  • And that's the fourth time he committed that crime.

  • So you put him in jail

  • for seven years.

  • That's a hell of a lot of watches you can give him.

  • Figure the costs of that.

  • Feeding him, medical care for seven years.

  • Let him have the watch.

  • It's much cheaper to give people the thing they need

  • than to kill them.

  • It's much cheaper. Think of man in jail for life.

  • Do you know how much that costs?

  • They worried about the fact that he tried to rob the jewelry store

  • of may be three or four hundred dollars.

  • It's always cheaper to feed people.

  • And when they go to jail, I can assure you,

  • they don't come out any better.

  • They call them correctional institute. They don't even know

  • how to correct people.

  • They are not people trained in that area.

  • Then you have a bunch of people they call psychologist.

  • I hope there is none here today.

  • And psychiatrist

  • that adjust you to this

  • fucked up culture.

  • How can you adjust people to this culture

  • if you're sane?

  • Do you understand what I mean?

  • So even psychologist

  • and psychiatrist

  • are part of the culture.

  • So is religion.

  • "Jesus needs money". Jesus doesn't need anything.

  • God doesn't need anything.

  • They also try to tell you that God so loved with the world,

  • that he gave his only begotten son.

  • According to the bible, it says

  • they crucified Christ,

  • he arose

  • and ascended into heaven.

  • Where is the sacrifice?

  • Think about it.

  • So, we don't think about what we've read. We just read

  • and we just yack.

  • And so, when we asked to vote for somebody, we vote for somebody

  • that fits the patters we've been brought up to accept.

  • Now during the question period please

  • don't be polite.

  • If I say anything you don't understand, say "I don't get it."

  • And If I fail to answer your question, say "You didn't answer my question."

  • Don't be polite.

  • So at the question period

  • we will examine some of the idea

  • and I want you to ask all kinds of naughty questions.

  • Don't accept the thing I say.

  • I don't want you to follow me.

  • I want you to listen to what I say. If it makes sense, do it.

  • If you like The Venus Project, when you leave here,

  • if you don't talk to other people about it,

  • nothing will happen.

  • So, if you like what we stand for, look, it's not perfect.

  • It's just a lot better than the society you live in.

  • And it will continue to get better.

  • There are no final frontiers. People think

  • I am a Utopian, I believe that you can make the best of all possible worlds.

  • I don't.

  • Even If I design a city that works,

  • that city will be a straitjacket to the kids of the future.

  • They will design their own cities.

  • If you make a statue of me and put it in the city

  • that holds people back.

  • In order to move forward you have to look at things, examine it, improve it, move on.

  • History is very poor.

  • You don't learn much from it.

  • If you study history

  • exclusively,

  • you won't come up with new ideas.

  • We want to move on. There is no such thing as utopia. Every city I design

  • would be the best I know up to now.

  • And as time goes on you learn more and the city changes.

  • Nothing can be frozen

  • and kept that way.

  • Everything keeps changing.

  • There are no final frontiers.

  • That's what the matter with heaven. It's fixed.

  • Everything is the same way. Consider this - if you went to heaven and you look down

  • to starving kid in Africa,

  • war on Earth. Would heaven be a peaceful place for you?

  • Absolutely not.

  • There were bands of angels that turned against God.

  • So he kicked them all out.

  • They call them fallen angels.

  • If he don't have a peace up there, how the hell you're going to have it down here?

  • You have to read your bible. You have to be ruthlessly

  • honest.

  • If you not honest, it won't work.

  • It says in the bible

  • "Judge not,

  • lest ye be judged."

  • That means "don't judge anybody." You don't know enough

  • about what made him that way.

  • That also says in the bible

  • "Therefore

  • but by the grace of God, go I". That's anybody you see in a wheelchair, blind. All of us,

  • that can happen to all of us.

  • They don't know what to do about it.

  • In 1927 I came up with a little idea,

  • which I got from bats.

  • Bats can fly at night and not hit anything.

  • How do they do it? By sound.

  • So I made a little gadget that would fit over the person's ear

  • and generate sound waves.

  • So you can hear an open door even though you're blind.

  • You can hear an object in front of you by sound feedback.

  • So we can build

  • things in all cities so that blind don't need that white stick

  • or a dog or anything like that.

  • In a mean time

  • we'll work on artificial systems of vision.

  • I think that human being can solve any problem.

  • If you don't understand me (I am not upholding Germany this time.

  • Some people think I do.)

  • We formed the blockade to prevent the Germans from getting rubber.

  • But they had enough technicians

  • So they synthetic rubber, all the rubber from their airplanes

  • and everything

  • out of their own chemistry.

  • So... with technicians

  • not in charge.

  • Understand - I don't want to see science in charge of government...

  • or technicians.

  • What I want to see

  • is their assignment to problems such as

  • agriculture.

  • When you can grow food twice as fast on the soil,

  • you exhaust the soil.

  • So we want to know how to grow food faster without exhausting the soil.

  • The United States Army dumped 65 tons

  • of nerve gas

  • into the ocean off the coast of Miami

  • near the Golf Stream.

  • How can you love the country

  • if the army did that?

  • They don't know what they are doing.

  • "We want you to dump nerve gas." - "Yes, sir."

  • We don't want obedient people anymore.

  • We want you to understand what's happening.

  • We don't want to vote for a senator - some other jackass.

  • They are incompetent. All of them.

  • I want you to understand

  • everything that you have today

  • is your electric lights, your airplanes, your automobiles.

  • You have nothing to do with them.

  • You got them just being born in a country that has that technology.

  • You got it for nothing.

  • I don't think any of you here worked on the electric light

  • or radio,

  • or television, very few people.

  • You've got all them for nothing. Does it hurt you? Of course not.

  • They say - "Well, you don't want to give people things for nothing. Do you?"

  • This kid said that to me at Princeton University.

  • "Fresco, you want to give people things for nothing."

  • So I said - "Are you paying your way through college?"

  • He said - "No, my dad is." - I said - "Does that hurt you?"

  • This kid said to me he still doesn't believe

  • anybody ought to get things for nothing.

  • So I said to him "Well. As I understand your father is wealthy. If he dies,

  • you want that his money to go to the heart fund

  • and the cancer fund, but not to you 'cause you don't believe anybody ought to get anything

  • for nothing."

  • He said "Just a minute now!"

  • Everybody wants things for nothing. You've got the earth for nothing. You were born

  • here.

  • Beautiful scenery, clouds. You didn't make those things.

  • Does it hurt you? Of course not.

  • But if you're born in a polluted world

  • with smog in the air and automobile pollution,

  • you say - "I guess that's the way it is". It isn't that way!

  • It's because the people in charge in government

  • are totally incompetent.

  • So what you really want is a world free

  • of burden, pain, prisons, police, crime.

  • Can we do that?

  • The church has been trying to do that for year.

  • They don't know how.

  • They have no idea how to do it.

  • They say "Be kind. Be good". How do you do that?

  • So I wanted my children

  • (two of them)

  • to learn

  • how to read.

  • So I never taught them how to read.

  • I would open a book at night

  • and I read to them in bed.

  • I read to them about things kids are interested in.

  • This happened to be my son.

  • He was about four years old. I was reading about dinosaurs.

  • And I said - "When the two dinosaurs met... Aeeh [yawn]"

  • I said - "That's all for tonight." I close it.

  • He - "What happened when the dinosaurs met?"

  • I said - "Look, If you learn to read you can figure it out for yourself."

  • So I gave him a reason to want to read. Don't just teach them to read.

  • Teach them a reason for want to learn

  • mathematics.

  • Teachers teach you how to read. "The Dickie Dare and his sheep.

  • On the way he met a cow. "Moo moo", said the cow". What is that crap?

  • And then they have it in America (I don't know how much you have it here)

  • The Mickey Mouse Club.

  • Now, what the hell happens

  • if you condition kids to join The Mickey Mouse Club.

  • You make a bunch of Pinheads.

  • Do you understand? Kids want to know everything. How the airplanes fly.

  • "Daddy, what make the light go on."

  • He - "I don't know that."

  • Daddy usually doesn't know anything. And congressmen know less.

  • So, I'm saying - Everything that you have is technical.

  • Think about it.

  • If we took away technology. If you shut down boulder dam.

  • Tomorrow

  • all the food in all the refrigerator

  • from LA to San Francisco

  • would fail.

  • All the food would rot away.

  • Everything that you have is technology.

  • If you shut down the power projects, men would have to pull cars and boats.

  • They did it on the Volga River. They had to pull freighters.

  • Men (slaves) were whipped to do that.

  • Slavery

  • was normal in the old days.

  • And kings felt that they were put here to rule over people.

  • People in my position like to think

  • that they are here to try to make the world a better place. Divine wisdom

  • guides them.

  • Look... Divine wisdom doesn't guide anybody.

  • When Christians were fed to lions, they prayed like hell.

  • The Jews in concentration camp prayed

  • and they were burned.

  • In Salem, Massachusetts,

  • if a woman spoke up and she didn't quite agree with everything,

  • she was burned alive as a witch.

  • Now, here is what you didn't know.

  • I'm talking about United States.

  • Women, hundreds of them were burned alive.

  • Because they thought about things...

  • just a little different.

  • But, then what you didn't know is for every witch you found you inherited

  • their bank account and their land.

  • So, it's a good job looking for witches in the old days.

  • The more you can find, the more money you got... and free.

  • So, here you have a world

  • that is sicker than shit.

  • And what I say I mean it, I mean that the world you live in

  • is consisted of the stupid people

  • including the military.

  • The Pentagon and Washington think

  • that they are there to defend the country.

  • Whatever a man can think of, some other buddy can think of a way around that.

  • You can't secure yourself.

  • You think that you go to an airport, you put your luggage down, they x-ray it

  • and you're alright.

  • I can design clothing

  • that gives off nerve gas.

  • There are other ways around anything. I personally could think.

  • I wouldn't do that of course.

  • I wouldn't work on weapons.

  • When I was drafted in the army the first thing they've said

  • "Can you make a bomb, Fresco, that goes sideways instead of up?"

  • I've said - "I have no idea how to do that."

  • It says - "cast ye your pearls before swine"

  • People are not educated yet.

  • They should not have

  • weapons of mass destruction.

  • They don't know how to use it.

  • They should have technology that enhances all humanslife.

  • This is what religion tries to do.

  • I would say that The Venus Project is the nearest thing to the brotherhood

  • of humanity.

  • So I want to try to tell you a little more about people.

  • If you were raised in the Nazi Germany as a baby.

  • If you never saw anything else

  • as the "Heil Hitler".

  • If you're raised in France

  • "La Tour Eiffel".

  • Your facial expression, everything.

  • If you're raised in the South of America,

  • you speak with a southern accent.

  • If I say "Stop speaking with it". You can't.

  • And you say ??"Well, I'm gon' get me a nigga and I'm gon' kick his ass"??

  • Is that you speaking?

  • Or is that picked from your environment?

  • If you take a normal boy

  • and bring him up with six

  • or ten very effeminate women.

  • Women speak differently than men.

  • They move their hands a lot.

  • And facial expression is different. More like I'm moving now.

  • So, If you were just brought up with...

  • A boy would move just like a woman.

  • If you brought up in Italy, you say "Come on, eat! Thes a gooda food."

  • See, because even that is reflection.

  • If you brought up in Germany again it's "Deutschland über alles."

  • If you brought up in

  • any other country,

  • you might say you know where the person was brought up

  • from by the way they speak.

  • "How are you, Mike?"

  • You know now that guy comes from Australia.

  • "How are you, Mike?"

  • Well, you'd speak that way, your facial expressions would be that way.

  • And you use words like individuality.

  • There's no such thing.

  • Everybody reflects their culture.

  • If you lived in France ten years,

  • you moved to Germany, lived there 10 years, you'll speak with the German-French accent.

  • Not a thing you can do about it.

  • So we reflect our culture.

  • All of us.

  • So when they say "Think for yourself". You can't.

  • 'Cause you think as an American or a Frenchman,

  • or a German, or a Greek,

  • or an Italian.

  • So.. really.. when Germans speak, they speak (when they come to this country)

  • They speak and say "Well, I give you some idea what happened."

  • That's the way they speak.

  • They pick it up. It's a cross between German and English.

  • I worked for a guy named Ernst Udet,

  • who was an ace

  • of World War I. He shot down 71 planes.

  • Since I worked for him,

  • I said "How did you shoot down 71 airplanes?"

  • May be if you shot down 5 or 6, that's possible.

  • But how can you shoot down 71

  • airplaines?

  • He said [German accent] "It's very easy, Fresco." (That's the way he spoke)

  • He said "I would fly above the squadrons

  • 'und' I looked for a rookie,

  • a bad pilot, that didn´t know how, and I pick them off"

  • So, is he a good man?

  • Is he kind? Is he humane?

  • Same with Eddie Rickenbacker.

  • They always fly above the squadron

  • and look for guys who can't fly too well and picked them off.

  • That gives you a lot of medals,

  • a lot of X's on your fuselage.

  • So when you're brought up,

  • you're brought up [where] lot of people go to church and say "Thou shall not kill"

  • So it's hard to get people to enlist in the army.

  • So they give Japanese or Chinese Americans false teeth.

  • And they make a movie

  • by Frank Capra called "Why we fight?"

  • And it shows these

  • Japanese kids

  • raping a woman.

  • And the enlistment goes up 71 percent.

  • You have to teach hatred

  • to have war

  • to be a working system.

  • An army man unfortunately

  • 10 year after the war - that's the most exciting thing in their life.

  • And they always go back and join The American Legion.

  • And they talk about the days they shot these

  • god damn slanty eyed bastards.

  • And the Germans were called Krauts,

  • not human beings.

  • So, we shot them too.

  • So, soldiers are killing machines.

  • And if you want a world without war,

  • people have to be educated to understand,

  • that all people need the same thing - good food,

  • healthy livings and relevant education.

  • Not killing.

  • Because war only produces hatred over the years.

  • They remember that you killed their kids, their parents.

  • And they want to get even with you.

  • And some people say to me (I'm just imitating them)

  • "Why are these god damn north Koreans building rockets? And why are these

  • Chinese building big armies?

  • They are threat to us."

  • But, again I don't want you to take my word for this.

  • There's a newspaper in England called "The Telegraph".

  • "The London Telegraph".

  • And in this newspaper they ran a headline

  • (about seven years ago)

  • "The US intends to bomb seven countries".

  • Nuclear bomb,

  • sneak attack

  • on seven countries.

  • It names North Korea, China.

  • All the countries we don't like.

  • Headlined

  • in the "Telegraph". You haven't seen that.

  • So, write for it, don't take my word for it.

  • When you do that, if China said "We intend to bomb England, France, United States

  • and other countries",

  • we were armed to the tooth.

  • That's why they are all building nuclear weapons.

  • They are afraid of us,

  • afraid of America.

  • I didn't know they ran that, so you say "Why are these god damn Chinese doing that?"

  • "Why are these god damn Koreans doing that?"

  • They are doing it 'cause they are scared

  • of the United States.

  • And United States,

  • are their intentions good? They may be, but they are stupid people. Even if they

  • intended to do that,

  • they should not have released it.

  • It was released by the Pentagon.

  • According to the "Telegraph."

  • So, there is your reason.

  • People behave as they've been conditioned,

  • as they manage news and turn you off from things they think you ought not to hear.

  • Like the theory of evolution was held back for a long time.

  • And in all the parks in America (or most of them)

  • There are canons, war tanks, airplanes.

  • There should be statues of people

  • that increase food

  • that did wonderful changes in medicine. "Wash your hands."

  • "Retain cleanliness."

  • They used to cut cadavers

  • and then they go right on and do child birth

  • with surgery.

  • And the women would die of childbirth fever.

  • That was because they did cutting with cadavers, never washed their hands.

  • And the doctor that told them to wash their hands was kicked out of the university.

  • Because he told them to wash their hands.

  • "How the hell are you

  • to tell us what to do?"

  • So, everything new was fought - women's rights,

  • child labor. There used to be children in factories.

  • Of course it's a little before your time.

  • But people marched to get the children out of the factories.

  • And they had rotten eggs throws at them.

  • When you fought for women's rights,

  • the same thing, there were rotten eggs thrown at you.

  • "What do you mean 'women'? Women only good for two things, you know." So, they had

  • notions about women.

  • "You know, women can't learn to be architects and engineers.

  • Women are just good to produce babies

  • and cook for the old man."

  • Well, all this crap is disappearing.

  • But every inch of the way of progress

  • was fought. Just remember that.

  • Nothing comes easy.

  • People are now producing articles about The Venus Project,

  • because we're better known now.

  • They say - "Fresco get his money from the Vatican

  • or the Rothschild family,

  • or this banking institute."

  • I don't have any money. "Fresco has two Mercedes." I don't even have a car.

  • So, anyway they will spread whatever rumors they have to keep in power.

  • And that's what you're up against.

  • Whatever you do anything new

  • or different. Instead of, people are saying "You know, that's interesting thing.

  • Let me think about it.", you know.

  • They get mad at you,

  • because you're upsetting the apple-cart.

  • And that's what it's about.

  • We have a tough job ahead. All of us.

  • If you wish to live in a world

  • without war, poverty, unemployment, hunger, human suffering, you have to

  • talk to other people.

  • If you do nothing,

  • I can assure you, nothing will happen.

  • So I think I can open this portion to questions.

  • So Roxanne and I will take questions

  • from any one of you.

  • Thank you again.

I want to thank all of you
