Who do you think he's talking about? The Government which does what their financial cronies interest tell them to do.

The "uninformed" are the ones who just read the news and media (which he talks about as well in that clip) and take as gospel the Govt. press releases which are "reported" as fact without any investigative journalism at all.

Our govt. buys and sells itself every day. I've said it over and over...I can't blame a company for trying to buy influence. I blame the bureaucrats in POWER who create the environment where only the govt. can decide the "winners" and "losers" in every industry.
Which of course sets THEM up to reap the rewards from companies trying to get ahead of the competition.

Bottom line is...YES, The govt. does NOT want well informed citizens.
If they did, they would simply INFORM us.
Instead they secretly spy on us, cause wars all over the globe, funnel money to defense contractors like it's nothing as they deficit spend us into oblivion.
