5. A "newscaster" based in the UK basically lays it all out

Utilizing a lot of frenetic graphics, the video consists of an "authority" voicing stuff like:

"Everything is great and protests are unnecessary say unelected owners of the world."

"Shops are open now and shopping is fun say money-printing rulers of the world."

"We are the goodies and they are the baddies, say benign rulers of earth."

"Here are tonight's top stories..."

"All of the people world rejoice tonight as the benign world government announced that everything is okay and that there are no problems whatsoever for the people to worry about. There certainly isn't anything worth protesting against and there is no need to think about a better way of doing things because this is the only way and it is the best one!"

"Reports that the earth is being destroyed and all life on it exploited to make a few rich banking families even richer are the rantings of crazy losers who will soon be hunted down and shot."

"The lives of all humans on earth are filled with joy and happiness and their leaders are all honest, well-meaning people who would never dream of lying, stealing, killing and conspiring to deceive the mass of poorly educated humans under their control. They certainly wouldn't create fake wars to screw more taxes out of the population nor would they hype nationalism and the belief in mumbo-jumbo voodoo gods in order to control vast numbers of sheep-like unthinking mindless zombie peasants. No, they wouldn't do that!"

"In order for everything to continue to be great and super lovely, the planet must be owned by unelected businesses called corporations. These corporations will help the banks keep you all in debt until you die then your children can take over your debt payments until they die and so on. Even if you don't owe any money personally your non-existent country will owe money so you can pay that debt. This way of doing things has been agreed upon by all the very rich banking families of the world. These people are very, very nice and only want to continue being super-rich and in charge of your life and all of the resources on the planet. Which is only fair since they are very, very rich. So don't complain, don't protest, don't discuss an alternative, just pay for your life and shut the fuck up or we'll kill you."

That should give you a drift about the direction the video takes.

Needless to say, unless you are super-rich, you get the message....

Same as Hitler's "World Order" or "Thousand Year Reich."
