Well, not sure what the hell this video is supposed to be about concerning immigration, but the US still accepts more immigrants every year than all of Europe combined... and how many people are immigrating to China, India or Brazil, some... but not many.. get real
What an absolutely amazingly poignant story!! WE HAVE TO "Wake-Up!" from our Orchestrated mind-numbing greed and materialistic trance and understand that the Whole World has been massively Lied to and Deceived by one single group of individuals; (FACT!) Please; read: wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)com or start researching into "Who Owns What!" because the masses are totally oblivious that this group has through their stolen wealth and nepotism stealthily taken CONTROL of virtually ALL industries

We are always being told to give up freedom for the sake of security... national or otherwise. We end up with a polluted river. Nietzsche said "Live dangerously" and maybe we need to take that advice. Throw away those guarentees of safety and accept the unknown. along with the freedom that accompanies it.
It's telling everyone the power is not actually in the hands of the powerful, it exists in our collective hands. Don't be fooled by those who put a reality in our minds that is false.
@IndisguiseIam The phrase was always that the punishment must fit the crime and of course in modern society, the punishment is commonly worse than the crime. Crime, with each passing day, garners less and less victims. Punishment, with each passing day, is more likely to be carried out after their sentence is completed. Exceptions? Sure. Consistency isn't in many people's language.
I think the saddest part about this video is that it has less than 200,000 hits, and viral garbage gets tens of millions :-(. As a teacher, I have put this in my favourites.
excess and deficiency. that is the way it is, there is a moment in which the big billionares can be counted easy, they own evry thing so they control the stock market, obviously, with their business and exploitation, The Big problem is that most people don't really takes it seriously. One Greatest misfortune is the lacking of CONSCIOUSNESS, there is no prudence, there is conformism, submission, brown-noses, and especially foolishnes with tons of lies. NO HUJMAN VALUES. INSANITY... sigh :/
sad tail. what do you do? when do you take a stand? how do you get rid of the fear to take a stand? as the story by Dr. Seuss about the sneeches with the stars upon thars...i tend to love everyone and hope it makes a difference. Sorry I don't make much sense but the emotion of this simple cartoon creates frustration, fear, sadness, and a drive to hope.
its simply because people are guilty with shame inside , its not goverment but society is also responsible for polluting the earth since everyone wants airconditioned house and car so called comforts of life
It's a bit old albiet a hodge-vorkorklin of fact and fiction:
"And then they changed, allowing everyone to come in. One day English was outlawed to accomodate the new 'freedom'--Spanish Only--soon maybe Arabic and Chinese.
"And the old freedom-people were sent back--across the Atlantic Ocean but they sank."
Interesting how a master hypnotist has left out the part about how the people's became themselves hynotized.
This is a very bad video that places blame where it does not belong. Those "others" who came up with the "solution to the problem" are, of course, the New World Oder.
Please, wake up and redirect the flow yourselves. It can be done now, this moment.
There are too many voices and not enough river anymore. We have all had to move away from the river of freedom because of the garbage we have let stew in it. Whether that river is indicative of our gov'ts or peace of living without trashing our world does not matter. This is a wonderful video from an era that would have seriously frowned apon it.
Now we accept seeing videos like this but most of us will carry on and toss another rotten apple into the stream!
I sincerelly think that this message is beyond the simple definition of government, because if you think carefully people who are on the government are just as human as you and me. This is a general message to harmony and respect, to honesty and justice. We are all free, but we need to respect that not everyone is equal to us, and stop rebelling and causing rebelion. War only generates war.
If everyone applaudes this matter it will just keep on going and going. If people took a stand...
what do u mean not everyone is equal to us???? are we not human how is one human diffret from another human. people in the gov. are also humans like u said but they are also animals who like to kill inoccent people and enslave the people under their governance.
i said: "respecting that not everyone is equal to us", meaning that i dont understand why when i get a history book and study about it all i will see is people trying to impose their ideals on other people. so... war. that's what comes next.
And im talking about the governers like this because people tend to throw rocks at them in a matter of finding someone to blame. True - they do have a lot do deal with... however, the power to do so will not be theirs unless we believe in them, right? That's where all the manipulation begins.
Picture this as a maze. there is a big difference from when you have a panoramic view and when you don't. now, in this case, what will give you a panoramic view? the values this video showed. harmony and respect. honesty and justice. now... the values that we live under, they only give panoramic SELF views.
the American public has no say in these matters and no real effect on anything. Many if not disillusioned by the political process are dumb enough to believe that there's power in voting.
I think this gives a small parallel to conservatism...people look back on how things "were" and don't want to change, ignoring any benefits to society. It also shows how capitalism gives power to the greedy.
If this were made today, I'd say the wise man is a parallel of Colin Powell. He was the only intelligent man in Bush's inner circle and the only one with the guts to actually oppose him.
Sure he had to present evidence of WMDs before the UN, but at leas the admits he was wrong.
Does he help support the families that are broken as a result though....I suspect he sleeps very well on his fine quality bed in his mansion behind the moat and drawbridge. We should be boiling these people in oil.
Who are you people talking about? I live in Europe and am under the impression that all republicans are neocons apart from Ron Paul but he's just dumb
Its all a matter of who is going to take the initiative...are WE going to take RESPONSIBILITY and do the HARD thing or sit back and be complacent and allow those with the Big MOUTHS to continue telling us LIES or are we going to ACT???
exactly - thats why i is ouer responsability to bomb all diktators in the world (together with just a few inocent casulties) and bring those people freedom weather they want freedom or they are still unaware of the fact that all they want is freedom...... and coca cola and micky mouse and Mc Donalds .....
Well said. Democracy is the answer as democracies dont fight. Freedom and democracy will bring peace. Then the free world can have what it likes and what it wants.
You missed the point. Democracies dont fight other Democracies. If the worlds states are all democracies, then the there will be less wars. In theory.
Explaining political theory to dummies. Aaaaagggghhhhh!
so why us-amerika hinders then the development o f demokracy in so many countrys arround the world by finacing citiczen and terrorism, puting Diktators in place and by assasinating demokratik politicans ??? do you want me to make you a list ???
I dont generally support that. Im a neolibertarian (look it up). In some cases, by doing that it can prevent another dictorial element: Communism for example taking a foot hold. The dictator kills the communists, then we move in and remove him, taking out 2 birds with one stone. Dont make me a list, lists bore me. Im educated enough to know all the dictatorships in the world.
stick to the question - why doe´s US-Amerika stopps demokracies to develop just because the have a left wing aprosch and don´t act in fevor of the US but in there own. - Even when they go for Comunism, you have to accept it.
It is because there are warmongers in office. Many Americans do not support it at all, most of us are simply being lied to, and far too many people in our country simply don't know or don't care what is actually being done in our name.
Nice theory. Too bad in reality we have overthrown quite a few democratically elected leaders. But maybe you're right, and democracies don't fight each other ever, and maybe we just aren't one, which enables us to go to war (very limited, clandestine war) with nations that are.
Kangalanatolian, when you say socialism, are you saying that helping people afford the things they need, even when they don't have the resources, hurts freedom? Or are you saying that a fear of socialism is one of the enemies of freedom today? I would personally argue that denying opportunities to people who can't afford proper education or healthcare does more to hurt freedom than the loss of the money required to help them.
What does freedom really mean. With the mindset of freedom do you actually have to worship laws. The more laws you have the more you can relish in thoughts of possibly not following the laws. This perspective seems to be based on a feeling of freedom and false pride that masks itself as free will. I think freedom is like a river of actions that wind their way through a canyon of laws. If someone could not understand the concept of laws would empathy take over as a form of personal governance?
that is not necessarily true unless you live in a republic. Socialism works fine as a democracy. There are many successful models in the world today, with standards of living far higher per capita than your republic. Yet we do not say give us a republic so we may experience freedom. Actually, from reading comments here, we appear MUCH more free and not nearly as concerned about having our freedoms removed by a small group. If you think you aren't being compromised, think again!
How BRILLIANT is that? It perfectly illustrates the world we're living in right now. "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" ? Not by a long shot, not any more. We need to reverse the so called "patriot act" and we need to make our leaders accountable. Our republic is in SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Ok. Here's your difference. Democracy is ruled by majority. Republic is ruled by law. In a republic, everyone has freedom of speech. In a democracy, only the majority has freedom of speech. I'm sure there's a video that explains better than I.
Yes. You are right. I must recomend a book by Hans Herman Hoppe - Democracy. The God that failed. Especially the first chapters which compare monarchy and democracy. There is one thing the movie shows ina a bad way. New immigration - so called "free" migration realy means "compulsory integration". Also explained in the book.
@kaaskiller666 Have you ever looked back at something you said 3 years ago and thought to yourself, "I wrote that?" I do refine my arguments over time and I'd probably say what you just responded to me with. Not sure, though. What I do know is that since that time, I've grown to despise words such as "ruled by" and I uttered them then. Nonetheless, I believe I meant "law" in its natural sense rather than anything determined by a vote. Thus, not sure if "law" is an accurate word to use.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This piece perpetuates the myth of the american dream which was founded on the backs and deaths of brown skinned people and based on the consumption and selling of unlimited resources, now reaching its inevitable conclusion. Capitalism was here from day one, and wealthy whites ran it then as they do now. We can't change human behavior or priorities within its confines because it promotes greed in individuals and is not wired to take the collective into consideration, just the shareholder.
It wasn't part of most indigenous cultures to use people for personal benefit, and in doing so injure them, because the sense of community wellbeing was very strong and necessary for survival. In this world, it really just wouldn't have happened that way... so, yeah, if it means something to you to say if brown people were like whites they'd have done the same thing, too, then ok...but it really means nothing.
Brown skinned people were killing each other way before the arrival of white people. Brown skinned people were never worked in the factories that made America prosper. Free market capitalism brought you electricty, computers, internet and YouTube to complain about it.
Critical thought is the only way to foster growth. Yes, capitalism has benefitted a lot of people. Could it be improved upon? Yes. Could we have founded a strong culture without exploiting people? Yes. It seems stronger to me to be able to accept the benefits as well as understand the faults, and there are many.
No it didn't. The internet was originally developed as a military system, not as a profit seeking endeavor. Electricity was discovered through human curiosity, not desire for profit. Computers were developed by the military, and in universities receiving government funding. But you're right, youtube was created to turn a profit. So you can cling to your religious faith in the "free" market. Hurray for the freedom to exploit and oppress.
This is the type of attitude that will never get anything done. Instead of trying to make change and improve our country, your argument says that it is impossible to make anything better unless you have money. I'm glad those such as Martin Luther King didn't think like you. "Some men see things and they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not." Robert Kennedy.

yes the land of freedom....for the white invaders who came over...then enslaved and bulied the natives u yankeys r so ironi! the genrall moralls r sweet tho
FREEDOM obviously has nothing to do with money, status, pride, looks, jewelry, war, selfishness and self centeredness. The spirit of dispair is all around the us.
And, the people lied to the toy manufactures, saying they would manufacture clean toys if the toy manufacturers would take the factories out of America, and therefor take jobs away from Americans, and place the factories in Asia, India, Central, and South America and the Middle East, but the people lied, and put poison in the toys, use suicide-bombers, and pilot aeroplanes into buildings, acts that rivers can't wash away.
The shirking of new ideas and the idolization of crime are almost verbatim the ideals of the socialistic enemies of Ayn Rand's philosophy. I suggest reading Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead.
This is a great segment I've now watched for the second time after a long intermission, its just as good as the first time I viewed it, five stars.
speedcrayzy, you are misinformed. an "ayn rand freak" cannot be a "fascist pig." ayn rand fans are libertarians, who believe in every form of freedom and liberty. fascists value a laissez-faire, capitalist economy (like libertarians), but want to control your personal lives. the neo-conservatives (and by extension, almost the entire republican party) are fascist pigs. liberals are at best socialist pigs (at worst, communist pigs).
liberals are not socialist pigs!!! I don't know what you talking about dude. I'm a socialist and i don't like the way liberals think. Nor do i agree with their policies. Nor are there communist pigs. If you read marx you'll find communism doesn't truly happen untill the last vestiges of the state and capitalism are obolished. China is not communist, not even close, nor are liberals communists.
What particularly broke my heart was seeing that new ideas were laughed at. In actuality it is new ideas that are meant to amend our constitution, and it is the wise who are meant to lead us with those thoughts.
Awesome. This cartoon really says something about the inbred aristocrats that run the US, and it also has a message about pollution. I give it five stars!
Exellent video. i see that some refuse to believe, calling it liberal propaganda. some are just plain ignorant. it's nothing to do with leftist or rightist, we have all had our freedoms comprimised.
Orson Wells is dead, right? Hmmm, let's see. Bambi's mother and father are dead too, right? ..and the word is compromised...not comprimised...so, maybe we should weigh your opinion. That's okay isn't it? You're open minded right? Liberal means to be open minded..surely you don't insist on your own limited experience as being the rule. Orson, wasn't someone I would hope to be like. His gluttony is an expression of who he loved. He was selfish and self serving.
Excuse my misspelling, sometimes I type faster than I should without a spellchecker. My parents are alive and well. I am very open minded and rather liberal.
Orson Welles was a very generous man. The fact is that he gave consistanly to charitable organizations. Yes, he was addicted to food and alchohol I would be too if I had peaked in my mid to late twenties and was expected to keep up that kind of genius forever. A brilliant man and a humanitarian. We are all selfish. It's how we modify that selfishness for the public good that makes us good or bad people.
In my opinion, the river represents democracy and freedom. The citizens of this country much realize that we must protect our freedoms before we lose them, hence the river going into decay. And the shovels represent the tools we need to start a revolution. Jefferson stated that we would need a revolution every 5 years to keep leaders from abusing the power and for our rights as American citizens to be kept intact, thus presidential elections are held every 4 years.
in 1945 a young girl named kata lata kulu came over to America in a grey boat from Africa. a mysterious man killed her by cutting the word "LATUALATUKA" in her back. now that you have read this message, she will come to your house on a full moon and steal your soul unless you follow these directions.
retype this message as a comment for three other videos
well...I think EVERY generation is responsible for maintaining and improving freedom river. Freedom has been at risk from day 1 of our existance; only eternal vigilance will keep it.
Well, not sure what the hell this video is supposed to be about concerning immigration, but the US still accepts more immigrants every year than all of Europe combined... and how many people are immigrating to China, India or Brazil, some... but not many.. get real

stick to the question - why doe´s US-Amerika stopps demokracies to develop just because the have a left wing aprosch and don´t act in fevor of the US but in there own. - Even when they go for Comunism, you have to accept it.

It is because there are warmongers in office. Many Americans do not support it at all, most of us are simply being lied to, and far too many people in our country simply don't know or don't care what is actually being done in our name.

Nice theory. Too bad in reality we have overthrown quite a few democratically elected leaders. But maybe you're right, and democracies don't fight each other ever, and maybe we just aren't one, which enables us to go to war (very limited, clandestine war) with nations that are.

This is really something beautiful.
Kangalanatolian, when you say socialism, are you saying that helping people afford the things they need, even when they don't have the resources, hurts freedom? Or are you saying that a fear of socialism is one of the enemies of freedom today? I would personally argue that denying opportunities to people who can't afford proper education or healthcare does more to hurt freedom than the loss of the money required to help them.

What does freedom really mean. With the mindset of freedom do you actually have to worship laws. The more laws you have the more you can relish in thoughts of possibly not following the laws. This perspective seems to be based on a feeling of freedom and false pride that masks itself as free will. I think freedom is like a river of actions that wind their way through a canyon of laws. If someone could not understand the concept of laws would empathy take over as a form of personal governance?
Lazlo7321 3 years ago
Pretty good. It does not address the socialism, though. That is one of the main reasons we compromise our freedom.
kangalanatolian 3 years ago
that is not necessarily true unless you live in a republic. Socialism works fine as a democracy. There are many successful models in the world today, with standards of living far higher per capita than your republic. Yet we do not say give us a republic so we may experience freedom. Actually, from reading comments here, we appear MUCH more free and not nearly as concerned about having our freedoms removed by a small group. If you think you aren't being compromised, think again!

Ok. Here's your difference. Democracy is ruled by majority. Republic is ruled by law. In a republic, everyone has freedom of speech. In a democracy, only the majority has freedom of speech. I'm sure there's a video that explains better than I.

Yes. You are right. I must recomend a book by Hans Herman Hoppe - Democracy. The God that failed. Especially the first chapters which compare monarchy and democracy. There is one thing the movie shows ina a bad way. New immigration - so called "free" migration realy means "compulsory integration". Also explained in the book.

@kaaskiller666 Have you ever looked back at something you said 3 years ago and thought to yourself, "I wrote that?" I do refine my arguments over time and I'd probably say what you just responded to me with. Not sure, though. What I do know is that since that time, I've grown to despise words such as "ruled by" and I uttered them then. Nonetheless, I believe I meant "law" in its natural sense rather than anything determined by a vote. Thus, not sure if "law" is an accurate word to use.

This piece perpetuates the myth of the american dream which was founded on the backs and deaths of brown skinned people and based on the consumption and selling of unlimited resources, now reaching its inevitable conclusion. Capitalism was here from day one, and wealthy whites ran it then as they do now. We can't change human behavior or priorities within its confines because it promotes greed in individuals and is not wired to take the collective into consideration, just the shareholder.

It wasn't part of most indigenous cultures to use people for personal benefit, and in doing so injure them, because the sense of community wellbeing was very strong and necessary for survival. In this world, it really just wouldn't have happened that way... so, yeah, if it means something to you to say if brown people were like whites they'd have done the same thing, too, then ok...but it really means nothing.

Brown skinned people were killing each other way before the arrival of white people. Brown skinned people were never worked in the factories that made America prosper. Free market capitalism brought you electricty, computers, internet and YouTube to complain about it.

Critical thought is the only way to foster growth. Yes, capitalism has benefitted a lot of people. Could it be improved upon? Yes. Could we have founded a strong culture without exploiting people? Yes. It seems stronger to me to be able to accept the benefits as well as understand the faults, and there are many.
mcdevitk 4 years ago 13
No it didn't. The internet was originally developed as a military system, not as a profit seeking endeavor. Electricity was discovered through human curiosity, not desire for profit. Computers were developed by the military, and in universities receiving government funding. But you're right, youtube was created to turn a profit. So you can cling to your religious faith in the "free" market. Hurray for the freedom to exploit and oppress.

This is the type of attitude that will never get anything done. Instead of trying to make change and improve our country, your argument says that it is impossible to make anything better unless you have money. I'm glad those such as Martin Luther King didn't think like you. "Some men see things and they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not." Robert Kennedy.

And, the people lied to the toy manufactures, saying they would manufacture clean toys if the toy manufacturers would take the factories out of America, and therefor take jobs away from Americans, and place the factories in Asia, India, Central, and South America and the Middle East, but the people lied, and put poison in the toys, use suicide-bombers, and pilot aeroplanes into buildings, acts that rivers can't wash away.

The shirking of new ideas and the idolization of crime are almost verbatim the ideals of the socialistic enemies of Ayn Rand's philosophy. I suggest reading Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead.

speedcrayzy 4 years ago
speedcrayzy, you are misinformed. an "ayn rand freak" cannot be a "fascist pig." ayn rand fans are libertarians, who believe in every form of freedom and liberty. fascists value a laissez-faire, capitalist economy (like libertarians), but want to control your personal lives. the neo-conservatives (and by extension, almost the entire republican party) are fascist pigs. liberals are at best socialist pigs (at worst, communist pigs).
lowenfsp 4 years ago
Objectivism is a strain of fascism with those Randers seeking to define a higher level of social class based on their values.
they define limited criteria for dynamic individuals to make paradigm shifts that in reality use human fodder without giving back

If you read marx you'll find communism doesn't truly happen untill the last vestiges of the state and capitalism are obolished. China is not communist, not even close, nor are liberals communists.

Orson Wells is dead, right? Hmmm, let's see. Bambi's mother and father are dead too, right? ..and the word is compromised...not comprimised...so, maybe we should weigh your opinion. That's okay isn't it? You're open minded right? Liberal means to be open minded..surely you don't insist on your own limited experience as being the rule. Orson, wasn't someone I would hope to be like. His gluttony is an expression of who he loved. He was selfish and self serving.

Orson Welles was a very generous man. The fact is that he gave consistanly to charitable organizations. Yes, he was addicted to food and alchohol I would be too if I had peaked in my mid to late twenties and was expected to keep up that kind of genius forever. A brilliant man and a humanitarian.

In my opinion, the river represents democracy and freedom. The citizens of this country much realize that we must protect our freedoms before we lose them, hence the river going into decay. And the shovels represent the tools we need to start a revolution. Jefferson stated that we would need a revolution every 5 years to keep leaders from abusing the power and for our rights as American citizens to be kept intact, thus presidential elections are held every 4 years.
