Light bulb conspirancy

In this movie they talk about the history of planned obsolescence; how it started and evolved throughout the years. This idea of planned obsolescence got created in order to improve the economy in the economic crisis. With products that did not lasted for ever money will constantly circulate the market, which will cause the rising of new companies and the creation of more jobs for the citizens. The first planned obsolensence created in the system consisted on giving the products a determined lifetime, so that after some time of using it it will damage making the people go buy a new one. The first victims of obsolescence were the light bulbs. Companies started decreasing and decreasing their "life time" until they reached the 1000 hour usage. Either ways this idea was rejected by society and companies stopped producing this kind of products. With the fall of this kind of planned obsolescence another one rose in the market.

The new planned obsolescence consisted in making a lightly different product and making the people desire it. Every once in a while the companies manufactured a new product slightly different tithe others and advertise it in order to make the citizens give away shatter had nada quire the new one.
The greatest example of this kind of planned obsolescence is the apple industry. They take out new phones, iPods, ect. to the market  and make small changes in them in order to make the products see new. In the modern society you can buy a new thing today that can become old tomorrow.

the four horse men

All empires are determined to collapse. This event has happened since the early eras when the most mighty and powerful empires got finished. Today the empire that is reaching its decadence is the United States of America. The time in which the modern empire started its decadence was during the baby boom; period in which U.S reached the maximum point that empires could reach. This is caused by the excess of sex, money spending, and peoples greed. This caused that the breach between the rich and poor became bigger and bigger with time. As a cause of this the lower social class will loose more and more rights, which will cause turmoil between classes. This will cause the creation of a new empire.

What comes next to the entire collapse is competition so that the new empire gets created. This will cause that new governments and ideas spread around the world. The time for the new empire to rise will cause wars and create a tensing situation all around the world. Each of the world potencies will fight economically and militarily in order to demonstrate superiority. This will create bad situations in societies because each former empire will try to crash each others economy causing economical problems to the people. As Mahatma Gandhi said "there is enough for everyones need, but not for someones greed."This phrase demonstrates that due to all the former empires greed their people will suffer. 

Colombian monetary system

Is money real?

The FDA is an American organization in charge of printing money for the U.S. Citizens. When the FDA prints a certain amount of money and the government gives them the same amount in treasury bonds. The problem is that the government will never have the money to pay back the FAD because they expect to receive interests from the loan, but the U.S. government can't print more money. This is the reason why money is equal to debt.If there is debt in a country there will be debt, but if there is no debt the use of money will become unnecessary. This means that if every citizen in the United States gets to pay their debts, money will not be needed.A side from the previous mentioned there is also a system in which banks create "air money." The banks loan to the citizens they are lending the money of another person that putted it into the bank. The loans are not actually the banks money, but the money is from the citizens. His is why the banks have more time than the one they are initially given.

Drug cartels in Rios favelas

The world cup is coming and Brazil still suffers of violence in their streets. Just a few months before Rio de Janeiro welcomes visitors for the World Cup, and two years before it hosts the Olympics, security within the city remains a major issue. The favelas, which are the working class areas, are controlled by drug groups of the area. As a cause of this the governor set up permanent stations of police units in the different favelas of Rio in order to quickly respond to gang activity. As mentioned in the article crackdown in Brazil´s favelas “There are now approximately 34 Pacifying Police Units in Rio, controlling more than 100 favelas where hundreds of thousands reside.”

This is an important measure taken by the government not only for the control of drug activity in Rio, but also to offer a better security for the millions that will visit Brazil to enjoy the world cup. This is an important event for people of different nationalities all around the world. The police stations are prepared to act against any suspicious gang activity. This demonstrates that Brazil is prepared to give security to their visitors. However, many of the favelas in Brazil are still in the hands of criminals that are not willing to be pacified.
