First They Came For...

[walks222]

Pretty good ...but the Red star is a bit of a cliche...just black uniforms would have been

effective....the Red star gives the impression that just the ´Reds´ will get ya...but what about the far right aka Nazis ?? They were pros at that game last century......

[10secs2lovetffl]

@sonney87 COM'ON! Get your head out of your ass. First of all the GOP and the Dems are two different parts of the same beast. They put on a show for people to believe they did like each other. But at the end of the day they body up for a drink at the local D.C. fancy ass pub... Wake you you bleeding heart liberal goodie two shoes. I do not like nor beieve in the Left/Right Paradigm. Blow it out your ass you stupid FUCK!!!

[Neosaigo]

First they came for the communists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

This is the closest to the original I think.

[jjatmore]

yeh, I agree drizztf88: the red star... great if you're indicting Russia, not if you're trying to make a point about the USA (I assume, given the Wall Street Journal he keeps reading).

And why did they take him away? Niemoller spoke out against them in his sermons for the Confessing (Christian) Church, at least. What did this guy do to get attention, except just be a witness? Otherwise: great to see it enacted.

Agree with sonney87, big time!

[drizztf88]

Red star? Really?

I mean, the poem says first they came for the communists...

[SeanMBryans]

From an older gay man who has seen it all - the good and the bad - THANK YOU

[TheThordir]

I like it how even the poem omits lgbt persons. After the Allies released the survivors from the concentration camps, they didn't give homosexuals and transvestites reparations, but instead re-imprisoned them. Disgusting! And people still wonder why we lgbt persons are so "sensitive". Bah! You may have interpreted and extended it, but the original deliberately omitted homosexuals and transvestites.

[IwaysKeepMOMMINd]

yea kill dem faggots haahah

[MelWK]

Thanks for sharing this. But allow me to say that, considered the stuff told in the USA (such as "fascism is a form of socialism", "socialism, communism and nazism are the same", "leftists are nazi" etc.), you should not have omitted the lines about communists and trade unionists.

[ChasteRoue]

Let's see all those Muslims standing up and condemning terrorism when it's Israelis that are dying...oh wait that never happens!

[ahamatmabrahman]

@ChasteRoue See video we,ve already nuked ourselves I think its a good measure of who the terrorists really are or should i say demented

[chilebanon]

@ChasteRoue wrong. get to know some muslims and arabs. you'd be surprised. also, isreal is a terrorist state. nobody deserves to suffer for it, though. the damage is done. isreal needs to stop colonizing the land left for palestinians.

[ChasteRoue]

@chilebanon The VAST MAJORITY of so-called "Palestinians" are the descendants from Arabs that immigrated to British Mandate of Palestine (Palestine was invented by the British in 1918) to work in the good economic condititions created by the Zionists. There was an indigenous pre-zionist Jewish population of Israel that was continuously massacred by Arabs and Muslims for 1,400 years. So-called "Palestinians" have an affinity for genocide as taught to them by Mohamud (may shit be upon him).

[chilebanon]

@ChasteRoue oh dear. i'm not partaking in a debate about indigeneity. i'm also not going to address the conflation of "Palestinian" with Muslim. the land is occupied by both isrealis and palestinians, and it is not very productive to continue with those lines of thought. unless, of course, the goal is to antagonize, dehumanize, and delegitimate. oh, and displace a people. i'm sure you understand that one cannot justify today's injustice by appealing to yesterday's--unless you like the cycle.

[ChasteRoue]

@chilebanon The so-called "Palestinians" have no right to claim they're indigenous and that the "Jews kicked them out of their homes" when they teach their children that there were no Indigenous Jews living there when the Arab/Muslim armies conquered over 50% of that indigenous population and then spent 1,400 years exterminating and massacring them. Also no sympathy for so-called "Palestinians" while they perpetuate the lie "Jews and Muslims lived in peace before Zionism" you're a NAZI

[chilebanon]

@ChasteRoue lol. i didn't realize this would go over your head. i just said that i don't find indigineity a particularly useful discourse in thinking through the matter. it just perpetuates the violence. no worries, thanks for trying. there's not enough space to explain to you the problems, but i do hope you take a moment to read your claims closely and follow them to their logical conclusion. Hint: it's not good. sorry to interfere with your trolling. take care!

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

Zionists are Nazis.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 Complete lie, the ONLY ideology in practice today that resembles Nazism is Islam. Muslim filth bitch pig whores immigrate to countries to get it from ANYBODY they find to produce babies so they can raise little terrorist bastards.

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

In Israel they are fighting for their own land. Abraham was not from Canaan. He went there when it was fully settled.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 Anthropologists/Archeologists have ALREADY proven that the Ancient Israelites were a sub-group of Canaanites. There has ALWAYS been a CONTINUOUS indigenous Jewish population that was CONTINUOUSLY massacred during the 1,400 years of Arab/Islamic occupation. Do you want me to start listing the massacres so you can deny them? ISLAM = NAZISM. Muslim woman = whore that produces terrorists.

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

Well, they were a subgroup. So where are all the others? Territory and people change all the time.

It is really ridiculous for the Jews to claim a land they have not been there for almost 2000 years.

If people in Europe claimed so there will really be a great mess. Serbs and Croatians will go to Hungary. Hungarians to Russia. Russians to the Baltic countries. Germans to Sweden. British to France. French to Germany.

So you imagine what it will be like.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 There was ALWAYS an indigenous Jewish presence in Israel. That indigenous Jewish population was CONSTANTLY being massacred by the conquering Arab colonists. They were exterminated to the point that there were only 5,000-10,000 of them left by the advent of Zionism and they mixed with the Zionist pioneers. The VAST MAJORITY of so-called "Palestinians" immigrated to Israel in the 1920s.. Would you like me to start listing all the genocides prior to Zionism upon the native Jews?

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

ok, start listing it. But do not fotget to list the massacres caused by Jews. How the Jews bombed the English in King Davids Hotel?

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 The King David Hotel took place during the war for independence against an occupying power you moron. Lets talk about the Safed Plunder in 1834, when Muslims organized a mass extermination against the indigenous defenseless Jewish population.

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

OK, but you wrote that the Arabs got into Palestine after 1920. So what were those Arabs doing there in 1834?

What was the majority of the population in 1834 - Jewish or Arab?

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

Just the whole Jewish story - getting there after 2000 years and wanting their land back is stupid.

It is like the Indians wanting their land back from you ;)

stupid.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 Oh wow, denying genocide is digusting. I like how your hatred for Jews allows you to ignore 1,400 years of occupation and extermination to be ignored. Jerusalem had a Jewish MAJORITY prior to Zionism made up of INDIGENOUS JEWS. So you deny the Safed Plunder took place? You know whats REALLY STUPID? When your whore grandmother immigrated to a country in the 1920s to beg for work and then when you get it you rise to kill the people who gave you work and deny that you immigrated there.

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

I never called you names here and you start calling names.

I am a Bulgarian. And Bulgarians along with Danes were the only people in Europe who saved the Jews. My greatgrandfather was one of the leaders in his town at saving the Jews.

I do not deny this massacre. But as you see there were also Arabs then.

as you know Jerusalem was in the Ottoman empire. There counted religion.

IN 1851b there were 5580 Jews and 12 286 Muslims. (official data)

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

and you are so uneducated. Just try to read different sources and think who is right.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 You can't even admit that the Muslim Arab colonists were exterminated the indigenous Jewish population. You deny mass genocides because it brings out the truth about Islam and how it promotes genocide and pedophilia which hurts your Leftist prospective. Come back to me when you can say "Yes the Muslim Arabs exterminated the indigenous Jewish population of Israel and the VAST MAJORITY of so-called "Palestinians" are descendant from 1920s immigrants"

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

you are crying out propaganda.

I wrote in 1851 there were 5580 Jews in jeruslaem and 12 000 Muslims. It is according to the official census data of the Ottoman Empire.

Dou you want to say that this data is false? and why?

and stop crying propaganda. I know it is your jewish strong point. But other people think and act, instead of shouting out ;)

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 Propaganda, you see so you are a Nazi you're denying the 1834 Safed Plunder took place. I hope everybody reading this looks up the 1834 Safed Plunder so you guys can all see the genocidal maniac that this man is. Harrel and Stendel, 1974 (Jerusalem 1846: 7,515 Jews, 6,100 Muslims, 3,558 Christians). Thus making the indigenous Jewish population the largest plurality in Jerusalem. Just because Muslim woman are huge filth whores doesn't allow them to produce 2,000 children in 10 years.

[bgtop9962]

@ChasteRoue

you show yourshelf as an ignorant nasty Jew ;)

I showed you statiscs of the official Ottoman census. You show statsistics from some authors. Where did they get this data from? have they counted everybody there? 100 years ago?

People are not so stupid as you Jews think.

[ChasteRoue]

@bgtop9962 You show yourself to be an ignorant Nazi. Ya the Ottoman Empire who committed mass genocide and fixed census records to cover up their plans for mass genocide, How can you kill 1 million Maronites, 5 million Armenians, 1 million Jews, 1 million Greeks, 1 million Assyrians, etc. if they don't exist? The west is waking up to the fact Muslim woman are filth bitch pig whores that immigrate to countries just to get it from ANYBODY to produce Muslim terrorist bastards!

[ChasteRoue]

@chilebanon The so-called "Palestinians" were NOT displaced. The VAST MAJORITY of them immigrated from surrounding British-Arab colonies to work in the good economic conditions created by Zionists. There has NEVER been a people or a nation called "Palestine" prior to the 1960s.

[ChasteRoue]

@chilebanon The VAST MAJORITY of so-called "Palestinians" are descendant from Arab immigrants to the British Mandate from surrounding British/French colonies (Egypt/Syria) and the eastern part of the British Mandate (Jordan which is 76% of their so-called "Palestine"). They immigrated their to work in the good economic conditions created by Zionists JOINING their indigenous bretheren that were exterminated by the Arab occupiers for 1,400 years.

[surlagachette2]

What an absurd perversion of the poem. First they came FOR the communists.

[naftali10y]

the story is being told in a ridiculously slow paste

[sillymonkey829]

religion is a virus that humanity needs to rid itself of. if not by logic and reasoning, then by violence.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@sillymonkey829

Therefore you come for the Jews, and the Muslims, and the Christians?

[sillymonkey829]

@BenjaminWirtz If religion gets too far out of hand, which it has already started to do, violence may be the only answer. If science does not prevail, the bible, Torah, or Koran may become our new constitution, something i will fight against.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@sillymonkey829

Don't you see though, once they start doing that then eventually they could come after some aspect of you, that is the point of the poem.

[sillymonkey829]

@BenjaminWirtz Atheism has no doctrines or ideals, what could anybody possibly come after? Godlessness? Hopefully religion will die out soon. I'm sick of its oppressive intolerant hateful dogma bullshit.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@sillymonkey829

What about your political beliefs they could always come after that? Besides why should you only defend something when it effects you?

[Nitocolus]

I don't get why they wear red stars... Usually, regimes with red stars fight for unity and comradeship, fighting evil creeps like the Nazis.

Not only that, but in the original poem, they came for the Communists first.

Why do people keep skipping that part?

[watcher1925]

@Nitocolus because nazis also was against communism

[watcher1925]

@Nitocolus because nazis also was against communism.

this i think is a version supposed to let you see how was in the USSR i'm not sure thou ;p (sry for the bad spelling eng isn't my native languige)

[Nitocolus]

@watcher1925 Quite alright. The USSR was only bad because of a Stalin. He ruined everything ):-(

[watcher1925]

@Nitocolus yeah... when i think about it i think i've heard about a plan to save the russian people from communism (not shure on that though) :p

[Nitocolus]

@watcher1925 But they did not need to be saved from Communism, but Stalinism. Stalinism is when Leninism and Bolshevism go sour and turn into an imperialist waste. Quite unfortunate. It was a good ride up until Stalin, but that does not loosen my pride in Russia any less.

[sonney87]

Great adaptation for todays world, covering the Gay haters, Islamophobic facists, anti-semites and xenophobic anti immigration crowd.

I think i just covered the Republican Party leadership, Palin,Gingrich, Beck,Limbaugh,Cantor & Bohner.

Those leaders of the Republican party only play to peoples fears.

[yetitracker]

@sonney87 seems to me they are coming for the Christians and anybody that doesn't like socialists. if you don't agree with libs you are "labeled" like the jews were in Germany. you are called racist if you don't like Obamas policies or illegal immigration.they try to silence people not by force but by making them feel afraid for having an opinion they don't agree with or be labeled a racist or a homophobe.i'm neither racist or "scared" of gay people! i'm a conservative! not afraid!

[Mrbrianjohnson951]

@sonney87

I have to agree with 10secs2lovetff; the Republican and the Democrats are both control by the same beast.

[MonstersNightmare]

@sonney87 I feel sorry for you, surprisingly some people really can have small minds after all.

[sundog3]

Probably a good thing that "They" grabbed the lesbians before the Muslims did. Shari'a law would have demanded they be stuffed in a sack and thrown off the top of a building!

[Gomerwerle]

Damn, I love the look of the video. The angles, color sheme, framing, its great. Scott shines as ever. Love you, Kate!

[KnockoffNigeI]

First they came for the communist I did not speak out because I'm not a communist Then they came for the trade unionists I did not speak out because I'm not a trade unionist When they came for the gays I gave em the names of two teachers a scoutmaster, -four- priests and told them to watch a public lavatory Well you have to do your bit don't you?

[Ednaslittlelamb]

I suppose we could all just keep watching. Do nothing. Maybe they wont bother us, if we don't bother them. Well, there's always... HOPE.... RIGHT? Yea, and look what thats got us!

[frowningcat]

excellent work. i actually found the scene where the two lesbian mothers were taken away, leaving the little girl standing alone, to be quite chilling. good adaptation of an amazing poem.

[SKeene1956]

People then end result is the same. Please think and ask your selves what are "ism's" and why are they dangerous to use and we in this desperate time need to not get hung up on descriptive minute twist of words as that is division and you are both equally right and are close to saying the same thing but with different words. Another form of divide and conquer. You both have merit and I for one validate both of you as people with good points. Thank you and there is no criticism to any of you.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

Yupp. The red star on the fascist soldiers is idiotic. Should have used a swastika or something.

This is fascism in a nutshell. People united in hatred/fear of "common enemy": a small local minority or distant country. Once a minority has been targeted and destroyed, they blame everything on a minority of who is left.

Its like grade school politics.

"Red star terror" would be the gov deciding that it would be best for everyone if they build a dam on your field, and you have no say. Not this.

[timothyxmcveigh]

@Spanky00Cheeks Why idiotic? Communism has killed atleast as many as fascism.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

"Why idiotic?"

Idiotic because this shows fascism, where as the red star symbolizes communism.

The total "kill count" is not an equator. Do you think people would be fine with changing all the crosses in churches to islamic crescents, since these two religions historically killed about the same? Then why is it ok with ideologies?

This video shows what fascists did. The original poem is directly about the Nazis... who were defeated by 17 year old boys with red stars on their caps

[timothyxmcveigh]

The poem is not "about fascism" it was about standing up for the liberty of all people to protect your own. Look at communist china. They use the red star and they also throw people in black prisons for speaking out against the government. I would say china and north korea are atleast as fascist of regimes as Hitler's.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

The poem IS about fascism. "liberty for all" is superficial.

China and N. Korea are essentially oppressive totalitarian dictatorships, and are far more merciless to political threats than other countries are.

Fascism=blame all problems on minorities or others, and merciless/genocidal to them based on race, sexuality, politics, religion, disability, shape of skull, etc. = poem

I hope you can see the dif between killing a political enemy vs killing everyone in a village bc of their ethnicity.

[timothyxmcveigh]

Youre taking the poem too literally. The poem was written using the nazis, jews, communists, and union workers as it's subjects. Saying it's more about nazis than standing up for everyone's freedom is like saying Candid is about a boy, not about blind optomism. And while a big part of German "fascism" was ethnic cleansing and obedience, fascism is technically the merging of state and corporate (i.e. Mussolini). Why is it you're defending brutal communist regimes anyways? North korea dude? Shit.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

I agree with you on all major parts.

When did I defend N Korea? I just meant that other govs aren't saints either.

"merging of state and corporate" fact

[timothyxmcveigh]

I think using nazis in the video would be outdated and irrelavent. Todays biggest threats are Religious extremists (of all kinds), Nkorea type communists and most of all corporatist-capitalist systems such as the united states. I am not trying to single out communism. I am personally against government of all kinds so that's my only real bias.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

"I think using nazis in the video would be outdated and irrelavent."

-yes as well as its a distraction from our current threats, that you mentioned. But using the red star is not only a distraction, but its also factually incorrect.

So perhaps if they used some obscure symbol, particularly religious looking, instead of a red star or swastika would satisfy us both.

[timothyxmcveigh]

Yeah, but your acting like there aren't several major communist dictatorships. I mean, communism often turns into fascism when it's run by a crazy asshole like Mao or Kim Jong Ill. They absorb private business, the media, the police etc. I dont know...I'm just saying I can totally see why they would use it. I think having something like NWO on their hat would be the best lol.

[SKeene1956]

Very good and factual statements.

[labartic]

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

[kaneangel2012]

the red star on the fascists made me rage.

no they came first for the communist not the jews haha

- Heinrich Himmler

[kiittyteco]

The acting is very real. I hope and pray that this will never happen (well i know it has already happened in places but i hope it never comes to britain and it stops where it is happening). I urge people to try and stop this total collapse of democracy and civil liberties evev if there are acts of terror because the alternative to democracy is so much worse.

[RevolutionarySpectre]

Disgraceful properganda. You completly butcher the message by removiing "first they came for the communists" and placing the red star on the soldiers. This is an insult to the memory of everyone who died in the Nazi Holocaust, particuarly those who died there for actually speaking out and resisting the regime, the Communists, Trade Unionists and religious groups like the Jehova's Witnesses.

[Lycan87]

The poem is raped, purely by setting the red star in the place of the fascists.

[randomxnp]

Communism was doing much the same.

The reason it doesn't hold up is that they replaced the common victim group of trades unionists (and true to the poem I am not a trade unionist, but recognise that many have been victims and still are) with Muslims, who have only been victims of non-muslims in one case (Bosnia) and are more often oppressors.

[Skanking2Ska]

whats up with the red star?

[ShittyPunkVids]

absolutely fucking beautiful

great acting

this is one of my favorite poems

and you fucking did great with this

absolutely brilliant

i shall take another look.

no sorry i think it was a knife or something.

[karmiccourage]

I was a butter knife. It was to show the willingness to do something even if it was a futile effort. Eventually fear took over and the narrator did nothing. It's much easier to see on the big screen.

[sciencegeekjsusfreak]

Separation of Church and state is not a part of the constitution.

It was written in a letter by Thomas Jefferson.

But no matter....If you're not religious.

[ReddNeckerson]

First they came for the rednecks...

[Skanking2Ska]

lmfao

[robertrulebirtannia]

they came first for the Communists, And I didnt speak up because I wasnt a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didnt speak up because I wasnt a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didnt speak up because I wasnt a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

[ddevore6]

This is a great film. It brings this very real possibility to life. It makes me ponder my own faith and wonder what I am doing to stand up.

[mammaharden]

What a spin on the original poem.

Unless a person is a known violent terrorist or a direct link to one, no one should ever be treated like that. I too am a compassionate person so I wonder... They must be the German/Russian/Chinese/light-s­kinned Mexican/African-American Judeo-Christian immigrants. Because they (we) are the only people not physically represented or spoke of in the narrative.

[scottganyo]

Thank you for your positive comments. If you live in California, I hope you embrace the message of this film as you consider your vote on Proposition 8. Please vote no on Prop 8.

[ByakuganX]

The Red Star on their back(guys in black) probably means their communists.

[robertrulebirtannia]

maybe but the first line of the poem is

they came first for the Communists, And I didnt speak up because I wasnt a Communist.

[TransformedMan]

No, their Republican Texans

[Skanking2Ska]

in communism everybody is the same dude. black, white, Jewish, Muslim everybody gets the same treatment and respect

[ReddNeckerson]

Tru dat! They're all poor! It's the only way to equalize people...at the barrel of a gun...since communism can't elevate people up like capitalism, it lowers everyone to the gutter. History proves me correct.

[Organjic]

Um no! Communism discriminates selected few and unless you apply/obey the tyranny you will be victimized.

[cheesepeas]

in theory yes, but look at every communist state, look at stalin he had more people killed then hitler, comunnism will never work, if everyone is equal then no one can be in charge and if no one is in charge then why should someone follow the rules.

[MasterZhang]

Pretty much. I mean, it says something when the biggest "Communist" nation in the world is China. Who's, you know, rich because we switched to capitalism.

WOW im flattered! Of course I will. Hey, I suggest you contact my brother, VampireLord66, he loves this stuff and is a big help

[Kingery4President]

VampireLord66 has let me know about a lot of videos, as have others. When he sent my videos to his contacts more people became interested.

Of the last three videos I uploaded, I explain exactly how the People can bring this extreme "underdog" across the election line in November with the grandest victory ever in this nation.

All it takes is 30 people and 30 days. Details on my last three videos.

Thank you for your assistance.

Just back from The Really BIG Short Film Festival.

It looks GREAT on an IMax screen. This format is too small to do it justice.

[mycroft007]

Well done short film. Good work.

[jjoserox]

great video they forgot the druggies and growers.

[Calogeria]

Great film, but a practical question: how would one "stand up" in a situation like that?

[mzmadmike]

You stand up before it gets like that. Once they started, Niemoller realized it was already too late. He'd tried to cut a deal with Hitler in 1933. By 1938, he was in a camp himself.

[rea123azs]

mzmadmike has the right of it.

After that? Then it's "front sight picture, press" and take out as many as you can before you go down. If the NAZI's had lost a GESTAPO, Police, or SS goon every time they went to arrest a family, the Holocaust might have been stopped there and then.

As the Warsaw Ghetto residents proved, you can't always win, but there's no reason to make it easy or safe for the bastards.

[uhclem]

First they came for the former sex offenders and I didn't speak up because I don't want anyone to think I was a sex offender...
