and sometimes
you know you know what you know and
sometimes you don't know what you know
and sometimes you know what you don't
know and
any so what do you know about the number
12 William Gladstone
as a new novel out it's called the power
up 12 12 the book 12 the book
dot com is the website and Bill welcome
to the program
great to be back on your show tombola
Qatar the book if those who have a video
cam
yet our well we're excited about this
new book
any it really ideal for your audience
because I share our concern is that you
air on your shower and i'm looking
novelist bond it's got great characters
and a lot of humor in it
it really does address some of these big
with me are already headed for do
the mom and themselves could not say we
were headed for do
the way our politicians behave I think
we might be
but we have the opportunity according to
indigenous properties not just on the
mind
but to actually create a world that
works for everyone
that is better in what we experience the
day but there's gotta be a lot of change
and I agree with what you just said your
last caller things may get a lot worse
before they get better
but we are resilient and we have the
resources she really make a difference
and what the power grows really about
is in a fictional way how people
themselves just by their own loss in
activities in by connecting
and using the technology we have today
can raise the issues that really matter
and survive past the existing economic
and political systems
to create a world that really works for
also known we are talking to William
Gladstone
his book power 1212 12 the book
dot com 12 the book yeah I dot com is
the website because the book is
available anywhere and everywhere and if
you can't get in your local bookstore
ask for a
or your local library are bill what
what is the away you said there are
there are things that we can do and that
you talk about in your novel
I to make this a better world to make it
as
assist in a world very first thing is
just education and awareness we need I
mean
you read about this isn't your books in
creating education system the trains
people
to be workers incorporation and the
corporations exist for the benefit
a few thousand at many tens of thousands
other
families and not the world and the whole
and we just need to bring
awareness to people but they have with
in there
all unique guess the ability to be
creative
into by work that is meaningful and that
is not
just make it work just satisfy the needs
of these large corporations
which is this really for one purpose
only which is to make money in satisfy
the owners are those corporations with
larger and larger crop
yeah there are some exceptions the world
is starting to change and
the changes are coming not because some
you but nevermind dictator a major
corporation decided
it was good for the corporation to star
paying attention
to the needs of the environment and the
need to the social community
but because the social community itself
start putting pressure
even with their pocketbook by choosing
to frequent
companies that did take community into
account rather than companies that did
so we the people really do have a lot of
power much more than we've ever had
before
I know it may seem that we don't as well
become constipated
hands if you were your people we really
can make a difference I've gotta lie
with the fall of the Berlin Wall
for decades it seemed impossible but
then when it finally happened
it happen almost effortlessly it seemed
in very quickly
and hyper similar kinds of changes can
happen
even today yeah i i don't disagree in
fact I think that these two kinda
transitions happened really fast like a
i've had for a long time saying we
should amend the Constitution to say
that corporations are people and money
is not speech in a
and and people say ahs been twenty nine
thousand times to amend the Constitution
summit some got social members have
taken seventy years
and I say and the Wonder reduce the
voting age down 18
was introduced in March in was ratified
in August to the same year I mean it's
it it is
when when when the public is pregnant
with change when the when the times are
pregnant with change
that birth I mean childbirth is a pretty
instantaneous process compared to nine
months a bright just Asian
and I'm going to be quite their time and
the whole quite a my mom both the 12 in
the power well
is really capture indigenous wisdom and
present it in a comparable way
for the modern person in the power
problem with a lot of fun george bush
actually if not ima you know I i'm never
agree with his politics
but is not a terrible human being we've
done some terrible things a lot of the
problems
that we have had to endure is not
because
people are evil but because they are
following paradigm
which really out with their purpose the
whole economic system
capitalism is wonderful but it was never
intended
to create multi-billionaire no one
really needs
billions of dollars the little house on
lot we need to start thinking
and you for that matter no one intended
our government
have budgets a trillion dollars and you
know create
always special interest which are
incomplete conflict with the real
purpose the governor
so we got a lot of problems to solve and
it may just be the way to solve them
it by sidestepping and not trying to
sound directly
but creating something new and I
it and whether the issue
non-governmental organizations
this grassroots movements I don't know
I'm not a political analyst
I'm not even a sociologist but I know
that their is
something going on and it's not just me
its
isolated indigenous people I Bay have
been predicting this large change
for centuries and I think we're a little
%uh on the Mayan calendar
from a mathematical point of view was
the most awkward counter
that his ever been created and we're
finding out more more detail about how
hot counter
is related to specific physical
phenomena including the
the lot on the rotation were climbing
which up to 26,000 year cycle
identical to the Mayan calendar period
just ended so there's a lot of mystery
going on right now
but there's also %uh a lot a whole now
yeah I
it's it's we r where on the knife 8 edge
you don't really in some ways
um at last hours .org we've got a video
up about
you know how we could be looking at
extinction and then on the other hand
you know they're a we literally with if
the entire world adopted just a very
modest carbon tax
we could be the entire planet could be
carbon-free within a decade or two
I mean within a generation this when the
promises that might not have a car cause
I have this
media room a nada nothing the other
Maddie actually exist but I create this
character are you will be alerted the
ground
like keeper the code for the alarm not
and he's not doing what he thinks is
business and do that olive you will not
issue in charm
fast emon everything out but the reality
is
