  • My name is Jacque Fresco.

  • I'm project director of The Venus Project in Venus, Florida.

  • War is a word which was invented

  • when one territorial group of people

  • took away other people's lands.

  • They used force and violence, and war was a media for doing that.

  • You shot other people, stole their women and

  • their resources for your own gain.

  • And nations have been at war ever since Man invented weapons.

  • And as long as you invent weapons, you're going to have war.

  • And war is the means of protecting everything you've stolen from others.

  • No nation starts out very big. They start out smaller

  • and take land away from other people.

  • And they don't take it by invitation.

  • They weren't invited to take over the land.

  • They took it by killing, force and violence.

  • And war is the most inappropriate way of solving the differences.

  • That's why I'm against the Pentagon and the military.

  • Because they majorly should be concerned with how to bridge the differences

  • and bring nations together towards a common purpose

  • namely, taking care of the environment, one another

  • and restoring the damaged environment.

  • That's what I'd like to see in military systems.

  • I would like to see, instead of training millions of soldiers

  • to be killing machines,

  • I'd rather train them in being problem solvers.

  • Send them back to school

  • teach them social science, social things, psychology, sociology

  • so they can add to the culture, not be destructive.
