Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad, Apocalypse Now, Congo

[DickLodge68]

A darkness resides in the hearts of all men....so does love and hope. To distinguish the difference and make a choice is what makes a real man.

[buzzclick500]

WHATEVER.

never get out of the boat. absolutely god damn right. not unless you were going all the way

[babyboyremix4u]

@layishevik That is not the point, King Leopold killed about 13-20 million people, that is a fact , the intent does not matter at all(In this case purely for money). Another problem is the highest award you can win in Belgium is the Order of Leopold(Named after Leopold 2). Imagine going to Germany and the highest award being the Order of Hitler. I love how you are trying to use the race card(Anyone REGARDLESS of color who kills is evil, if they happen to be WHITE, BLACK, it doesn't matter.

Part of the wreck of Joseph Conrad's ship is on the rocks in a Bay at Tasmania Australia. Other parts of it are in the Hobart Tasmania Maritime Museum. He certainly was a man of adventure.

[traccstar1182]

I LOVE CAPITALISM. Where would poverty, and dispiar be without it

[topperheartramada]

@traccstar1182 i don't know. maybe in north korea or cuba. i hear the ussr was doing great in that depertment. i love people like you: so outrageously unconcerned with fact and yet so assertive.

[traccstar1182]

@topperheartramada and your facts are gather from you visiting those places.

[topperheartramada]

@traccstar1182 well it's not easy to visit north korea, is it? you know, i actually grew up in eastern europe, with socialism. and i have studied history so i know a thing or two about the ussr, the chinese 'cultural revolution', the khmer rouge, the regime of fidel castro, and so on.

[HouseFreakTR]

the game is better :P

[Fearlessdoink]

King Leopold's Ghost. Read it and be enlightened!

[LightStijn]

You shouldn't link Leopold's terror in Congo to every famine and poverty in the world. But oh, well...

[dragonblack955]

Kurtz was a product of colonization. Though he controlled the natives with fear, he was not a terrible person before he left for the congo as evident by the fact that he was still mourned by his fiancee a whole year after his death.

the jew-funded nations fabricated the "holocaust" to steal Palestine and defame the Germans the same as long ago when the jews fabricated the "exodus" to defame the Egyptians. The phony "fall of jerusalem" narrative was fabricated to defame the Romans and provide the jews with the ideal "victim status" while they systematically began to infiltrate all of the different nations around 70 AD in order to steal the whole world blind thru application of their demonry.

[primpnpoop]

@UntoldBillions ...you're just a Jew-hater - your view of history is filtered by hate. The Jews are God's chosen people - chosen to reveal Himself to the world.

[bobschwabbler]

Simply browsing through the comments out of simple curiosity...yuck...people having learned nothing from the atrocities of neither past nor present as the saying goes...scribbling pathetic prejudice. It is a wonder that one may parade about in complete ignorance of humanity yet understand the world to be round. If my heart was not already filled with compassion there might have been space for loathing.

[purleses]

the jews love to overwrite reality with their onslaught of distorted reality. The phony bible figures were all manufactured to overwrite real historical Egyptians such as Amenemhet=Abraham, Tuthmosis=Moses and Imhotep=Joseph. The jews manufactured the "ten commandments" story to overwrite the Code of Hammurabi. The jews manufactured the bogus WW2 holocaust stories to overwrite the real genocides of the native american indians, the congolese, armenians, ukrainians, Poles and Germans.

[clearly]

I feel sickened and ashamed.

[allibrooke09]

wow, great job with this video! It totally reminds me of the book and the movie!

[GiveItANam]

love the iNeed graphic. peace

[weircali]

Pentdad: First of all, a person who cannot spell simple words should be careful about offering their views concerning massive problems. Secondly, sterilizing people does not stop the spread of AIDS. They can still have sex and spread disease, even if they cannot produce children. Third, you are an asshole.

[corrado1860]

@weircali I agree with all your points. The third, in particular

[TulkorHAOMARUSH]

The problem with Africa was Western interference. and now it stands as an example of the disgusting second face of man.

really good video. brings tears to my eyes.

[TheSonsOfTyphon]

Judaism requires jews to be the world's ultimate victims in order to keep growing their transparent "religion of persecution". Due to The Congo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki , Dresden, Hamburg and the inhuman atrocities done to the native american indians and west africans it became crucial for jews to invent the holocaust fraud in order for them to compete for the persecution crown. Because jews are ultra wealthy they always maneuver to exclude themselves from the masses by inventing "persecution".

[30mikemikevulcan]

Yeah, well, those people in places like Darfur use absolutely NO birth control - AT ALL.

You give them enough assistance to make it through, then a whole NEW SLEW of them are born and the cycle starts all over again. Just like in American ghettos. If Maurice's girl has one more kid, they gets enough welfare to gets CABLE TV.

[Pentdad]

Alot of problems could be solved in Africa if everyone carrying aids was forcefully sterilised and a one child rule was used for everybody. Free contraception and abortions.

Its very tough yes, but in 30 years the new breed would be thanking us dearly, as aid would be spent on farming, conservation, and education, rather than on aids medicene and one off rashions.

[crazybx2006]

I agree.

[grandcollection]

Yea, it`s a fact that white man has and still does oppress black people, all around the world. And it`s no good, it`s evil.

Just one reminder, just look what those black people do to each other ( both in Africa, and in America, on streets ) !!!!! Get the point ?!

Like I said for native American people, if they had "upper hand" ( them and all other races )>> no doubt in my mind that this world would be like Dante`s hell.... for sure....

[Cyconite]

most boring book ever

[Chepo760]

mann everythin can be blamed on the white ppl...there the onesthat brought all tha hatred,,!,,,but now we have to face it..i aint racist but..fukk its tha white ppl fault

[kinnerit]

all of Europe had a hand in making Kurtz

[dionysius5200]

Negroes havent been able to evolve a democratic structure or a viable economic system anywhere in the world.Asians on the other hand have moved forward fast despite colonialism , war and such.I AM AN ASIAN AND I DONT NEED ANY HANDOUTS FROM THE WEST. I DONT WANT TO BE LIKE THE NEGRO.

[scosnyde]

You are ignorant beyond reason. Who says they are looking for a handout? Maybe give the Congolese what they are OWED. At least give them the tools of self sustanance. And what of the duties of humanity and life values?

[lmarr07]

sry but u r a sellout asian.

[Fanny746]

Darlings, didnt we have fun though?

[theprettyrosegirl14]

when the belgians went into the congo, did some of them rape the congolese women?

[carbukoski]

human race have'nt an heart

[PaulTettam]

i love this song. as for the rest of you....yeah

[ngfxoxo]

Fantastic video. Exactly how I feel about this world. I cannot grasp the mentality of anyone who could spend thousands of dollars on a dress, or a purse, when so many people in this world are suffering and dying, and a tiny bit of the money squandered by the rich would do so much good! It is a terrifying statement on our humanity, that this is as far as we have come.

[LiGohan]

Started off strong and ended strong, but floundered in the middle.

[liberatedmuslimwoman]

POWERFUL!

[mose3]

All for Profit! Corporate Greed!

[atemlos2585]

this video is just wrong,wrong by showing this obvious comparisons between poverty and rich,what is the purpouse?

[ConnoisseurDeLasArts]

Go and read, Heart of Darkness - Josef Conrad.

[ngfxoxo]

The purpose is glaringly obvious: the rich have more than they need, and the poor don't have the basics which should be a right of every human being. What don't you understand???

[atemlos2585]

oh give me a brake with this truisms,everyone knows that, that's how the world is build and there is nothing out here that can change this in current times so what is the point bragging about this?should I feel guilty with my life status because there is poverty in the world?And this video is so ugly obvious and made without subtle and any taste,it just showing black and white overlooking all the grey and other colours of the matter.

[ngfxoxo]

Spoken like a true egocentric wealthy person. If you have been blessed with more than many, YES YOU SURE AS HELL SHOULD FEEL GUILTY IF YOU DO NOT GIVE BACK - and only a selfish person would even ask that question. Every single one of us has the chance every single day to make a difference, don't give me that "what can I do" bullshit, I could name 100 things you could easily do that would make a huge difference to many people. You make me sick, wish I could spit in your ugly face.

[atemlos2585]

I wouldn't give you more than 20 yrs old for that speech, you are a kid or person with child thinking, you don't understand things behind things which actually does matter, for you all arguments will be just don' give me that bullshit.You are arrogant and rude I shouldn't talk to you in the first place.I'm not wealthy person, I just earn my living with hard work and your 'YES YOU SURE AS HELL SHOULD FEEL GUILTY IF YOU DO NOT GIVE BACK' just state for your lack of knowledge and simply stupidity.

[ngfxoxo]

"You don't understand things behind things which actually does matter" --?? Not just selfish but illiterate. Ignorance goes hand in hand with egocentricity, no surprises here. Pathetic.

[TRESBELA]

save the planet and kill yourself

[lovelovelove42]

powerful. well done

[peng1110]

wht to say then.... the horror..the horror!

[tefisher1984]

Happy 151st birthday Joseph Conrad!

[lubicuslatinae]

thus we see some of the many reasons why we need Socialism

[WINGMASTER7]

A display of man's own depravity and dark heart :(

[cujoenyo]

He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision—he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath—"The horror! The horror!" Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

[owling9]

Well done ! .... and great music, too.

[ravenprince]

"The horror, the horror!"

[dasyatis65]

The song is "The Wanderer" by U2 with Johnny Cash.

[TulkorHAOMARUSH]

Johnny Cash for sure, but what is the song? it fits amazingly with this movie. good work.

[jushayward]

Ahh, a collection of youtube posts with balanced arguments, respect for opinion etc. Great stuff.

[CanoPinto]

the imperialist propaganda said they was bringging civilization to barbarians people... man, propaganda is always pathetical.

[eristars]

hccrusader, this is a very excellent peresentation, you are great!

[layishevik]

An estimated 13 million congolese were killed by the rapacity of Belgian colonialism right up to 1930. Historians and politicians will not consider this a holocaust because the perpertrators didnt lose any great wars and werent killing Europeans. Hitlers greatest crime was that he was doing to white Europe what White Europe had been doing to Black Africa for centuries. The jews are quitely rightly mourned as victims of Holocaust while the congolese are exiled in the dustbin of history.

[lustfrog]

This kind of behavior isn't just a European trait. As Islam spread across North Africa, tribesmen, isolated cultures, and everyone else unwilling to submit to Islam were forced to work the salt mines in Timbuktu, which later became the Songhai Empire. Imperical holocausts like these aren't as grotesque because the Songhai weren't European? No nation or culture is free from blood on their hands. Every culture, on some level, is able and willing to do the same things.

[Danishamin]

Though, attacking Islam is as popular as ever in today's world. I must say with you as a scholar in West African history. Islam actually is the reason Africa prospered. They introduced something that every civilization should hold most dear to themselves, from Timbuktu to Alan Bator, from Reno, Nevada, to the islands of Tahiti, and certainly from Belgium to Congo, it is the ability to read and write. Where europeans exploited Africans and Islam helped them propser, you can look it up.

[Fearlessdoink]

@layishevik 13 million? I thought it was 20 million. Either way, the exploits by the Belgians in the Congo were absolutely atrocious.

[topperheartramada]

@layishevik fuck you. if anything, for decades all we hear is how the white people are bad and how we are the cause of all the evil in the world. everyone has been rendered immune, only the white man is constantly being blamed. do yourself a favor and start digging some more. you will find interesting information on what africans have been doing to each oter, as well as other races. then see what japan did to china in wwii. you marxist cunt.

[rogerthurman]

Excellent work. Loved old Johnny too. Nice match.

[Popalongkid]

We are victims of our own greed. We kill the life we love and live the life we kill. This presentation captures real human exsistence and mirrors our world in a simple and powerful picture. Thank you to remind us of what we do.

[inn7516]

Mankind - nature's blunder! The superabundance, the arrogance and ignorance of the north, the poverty and misery of the south still exists today and will go on tomorrow. It makes me sick!
