Americans are responsible for killing over a billion people and enslaving humanity. And now they're trying to rewrite history.

[MrsKette]

@superussia could you elaborate a bit on this statement?

[RovingCounter]

Two books might of use to set the record straight. 

[kaylaXkitten]

[MajorHarvestMoonFan]

whats the exact definition of a communist?

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

@MajorHarvestMoonFan

Somebody who believes in the classlessness, universal equality, economic control of capital and means of production to the proletariat, anti-exploitation, and gets branded as someone evil for it.

[TheLeomidas]

 Hhahhaha this is democracy

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

I'm black listed from questioning evolution (Not Joking)

[Caspen81]

@PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1 ... Who blacklisted you? What are you blacklisted from? What did you actually do to question evolution?

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

Oh please anyone who questions a lie (911) (evolution) etc..

has their microphone unplugged if scum think they can get away with it.

[Caspen81]

@PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1 ... I don't care about anyone.  I'm asking about you. What was done to you and who did it?

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

Well, I showed a printed piece that is appealing to tourist in the Seattle area, to several big outlet retail places, all of which saw the poster print and said they definitely wanted to carry it, but everyone of them canceled their order within 3 days. After a while I figured out I was on some kind of list, which is spooky because it indicates the kind of power the wield over one's livelihood, all via corruption.

[Caspen81]

@PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1 ... It is spooky. And reprehensible. How did you find out you were on a list?

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

Look, they know anyone with a decent mind was going to question everything they try to pull, starting with 911, so that year and prior even, they began to simply not enlist the services of any talent that was not in the know about their evil plans, ...you don't want famous people publicly questioning things, ...that and many of theirs turn and blow whistle.

[PERKINSPRODUCTIONS1]

Sorry I don't know their names you little spook.

[Caspen81]

Okay. When did you find out you were on a list?

[Crashex750]

Wow, I never thought of it that way! Thanks anti semetic conspiracy theorist on the internet!

[nightrider155]

hey can anyone tell me source of this video footage (i.e year made and by who) i need to cite it for my history paper, thanks

[Guevaristas]

guilty of "un-american" activities lol that would be half the world

[Crashex750]

It's like a fucking witch hunt

[rhsdevils1993]

Hence, the writing of the play The Crucible. Look it up lol.

[Ad0rkable37]

I'm doing a research project on celebrities during the 1950s and how being blacklisted affected their careers. Any good sites? Any would be helpful... :)

[amsterdam78]

There is a longer version of this, where each one discuss his situation. It's on google video

[deltapunk21]

Its bullshit.

[commissarusa]

You can find Paul Robeson's HUAC trial transcript. I would post the link, but I'm afraid of being marked as spam. I'll send you a message.

[kunz506]

This guy was a fucking nutcase. He eventually accused the US army of being communist.

Heres the situation:

Sir are you apart of the comminust party or have been?

Yes: 5 years in jail

No:Your accused of lying and put in jail for 20

Thank god hes gone.

[sphlanx]

We are told every day that Soviet Union was a totalitarian dictarorship full of propaganda and political crimes.

America was not better. American citizens have been brainwashed constantly to protects the profits of the urban class.

I am sorry to say that if American workers dont unite and take power to their hands the world will not be a better place for a long time...

[RobZakes]

arm the homeless

[Kinotriter]

I wonder about the other 9, including bertolt brecht, who bamboozled the Inquisitors into thanking him, the greatest of communists overseas, but loyal anti-Fascist while in exile LA-style. Dalton Trumbo? Who wrote the screenplay for Spartacus (besides Kubrick's inevitable contributions I mean)? Trumbo, or Lawson or Lardner Jnr...

[123writerlady]

Brilliant video that says it all.

[KosmicEyes]

McCarthy's crusade reminds me of the Spanish Inquisitionor worse the similarities of innocent people accused of witchery. McCarthy's methods were not only uncivilized but barbaric in the way he would defame a character of communism.

[amsterdam78]

Your defending the McCarthy Red Scare? It was a dark period of american history, something we should be ashamed of, not mocking.

[sebreathnach]

An American Tragedy -- but a Papal coup -- for JFK and Vietnam etc..If you think Joe McCarthy is bad, look up Cardinal Spellman (of 'Smelly's War' fame), or even look on You Tube at that awful demogogue, Fulton Sheen. For a truer version of Irish genius, however, see Dave Allen, George Carlin or Dermot Morgan ('Father Ted').

[tridgit91]

does anyone know how these "prisoners" were treated in prison? i hope they were not taunted by other prisoners.

[HyperSonic9000]

These days it seems to be coming back. If you're a liberal you're somehow a Neo Marxist.
