Mechanisms of Control in Society
Meeting # 3,775 - Edw Hanna
The speaker states that "I'm going to show how easily information can be used to control us, reasons for control, bad and good control, and what we can do to make things better.
After 7 years of aggressive learning, of ecopolitics, business, comparative religion, and various trades and disciplines, I then put the knowledge to use running many businesses, serving on the boards of a few non-profits, and public speaking at the Discovery Center in Chicago, various colleges, and other forums on a wide variety of topics."

Payback: Adopting a New Social Contract, and a
New System to Pay for It
Why the Top 1% Must Invest in the Rest and How It Can Renew America
Meeting # 3,777 - T. Allen Moon, Author and Lawyer
The speaker states that he will discuss the need for America to adopt -
(1) a new social contract in which all able-bodied workers under 70 will be guaranteed a job, if the private sector is unable to provide one, that pays a living wage; that all American workers be entitled, as a matter of law, to a decent retirement, adequate health care for themselves and their families, and sufficient post-secondary education to enable them and their children to realize their potential; and
(2) a new system of taxation to pay for the new social contract. Allen will also provide a PDF of a Q&A, together with his book Payback to explain his reasoning.

25 Mistakes Our Country has Made + How to Correct Each One
Meeting # 3,774 - Charles Paidock, historian vs. Peter Pero, 30 years a CoC member
Charles states that "Overall the United States has been administered fairly well, although there have been instances when we fell short of the mark. The most obvious one is electing the wrong guy president, and not sending someone like Bernie Sanders to the White House. I will focus instead on positions and policies in which we could have made the country an altogether better republic in which to live, but chose not to do so."

Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure
Meeting # 3,776 - Steve Goreham, Speaker/Author/Researcher
Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and policy advisor for The Heartland Institute.
The speaker states that: "Cities, states, nations, industries, and businesses eagerly rush to transition from coal, natural gas, and oil to green energy. The world annually spends hundreds of billions of dollars on wind turbines, solar panels, electric cars, heat pumps, and biofuels. But the renewable energy transition is in trouble and headed for failure."
