About Freedom From Choice: Who Really Controls What We Eat, Buy, Watch & Believe? | Full Documentary

Life is about choice. What we eat, what we read, who we elect; every day we make choices that determine how we want to live. But what if these choices are just an illusion? In an era where regulations and red tape rule every industry, where lobby groups and big business wield more influence than ever before, our daily choices have become increasingly limited. Focusing on key areas such as food, medicine, finance, and media, this documentary provides viewers with a glimpse at the myriad of ways their lives are being dictated, and tells us who stands to gain. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – Intro ▷ 0:01:18 – Milk raid ▷ 0:05:01 – Revolving door ▷ 0:10:40 – Money shapes everything ▷ 0:14:08 – Food ▷ 0:24:03 – Pharmaceutical industry ▷ 0:33:10 – War on drugs ▷ 0:40:36 – Politicized finances ▷ 0:50:01 – Bail-in: covered-up theft ▷ 0:52:37 – TSA ▷ 0:55:22 – Why can't we make choices? ▷ 1:00:01 – Media and internet ▷ 1:07:09 – Regain freedom ▷ 1:13:42 – Conclusion ▷ 1:15:33 – Credits ------- ------

Michael 'Wolf' Pasakarnis often claimed that he walked in two worlds at once. An artist with a kind heart and adventurous spirit, he was struck and killed by lightning at 29 years old.
