  • This the perfect rebuttle for our new presidential campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Let's see we got a Newt going against a Mitt,

    We got a geicko facing off against a flee( a nitt)

  • Great video..thank you for it..

    as for Ken- Ken probably drools while he types...stamps his feet down 3 times in one spot for good luck and drags his right foot behind him as he walks. No biggy

    Great song, great artist ..1990 I believe--I had a band that opened for him once during his tour...hung out backstage..took lots of pictures and talked about THIS SONG!...he is awake to lots. Bruce Cockburn as well..another great chat. Smart rock guys.

  • Is this YouTube or CNN's message board? Guess a catch-all song about government dishonesty is condusive to debate. I'd like to see some more videos from this album on here.

  • @johnmckenna80 have you ever listened to Triumph? Rik Emmet has been writing these sorts of themes into his music for years.

    I'd suggest you look up Allied forces album and give a listen to "fight the good fight" and "ordinary man".

  • rik ROCKS..,

  • Youre the Best, excellent message to all the ignorants in this World

  • The good of life is, that People now are Waking Up!!

    Thanks

  • you wont like ron paul so much once you listen to jello biafra

  • I just wish they finished the song!!..lol

  • Im so proud to be Canadian Go Rik Emmett!

  • As michaelmoval pointed out, this is in fact incomplete. I bought the CD myself back in '91. This 'version' fades out right after the second chorus, before the next verse and the guitar solo. Only half the song is here, so why lie and say it "isn't incomplete" when it is?

    BTW, some of these images are straight out of a Kool-Aid drinker's wet dream. The one at :39 is particularly offensive -- a gross misrepresentation of what's going on. I doubt if Rik would approve of this video.

  • the image is meant to be offensive. thats kind of the point. The vid was sent to metal worx in mississauga..so while i cant say he endorses the vid per se, its not like he or his representatives have slammed it either.

    obviously at the time he wrote it, it didnt speak specifically of the nau, the lyrics def were foreshadowing though.

  • When I said the image on the sign at :39 is offensive, I meant its dishonesty is offensive.

    And which "resources" have been robbed? By whom?

    Altered their "leadership"? LOL You betcha -- leaders like Hussein should have been "altered" a long time ago. Thousands of innocent lives and billions of dollars would have been saved if anyone in the "international community" actually had a spine. Yeah, how dare anyone "alter" their leadership. *rolls eyes*

  • Re the video having been sent to Metalworks Studio, AFAIK Rik hasn't recorded there since Triumph disbanded ~ 20 years ago. Last I heard, Gil and Mike retained the studio after Rik left the band. So if you don't mind me asking, why would you think Rik even saw this video?

    Re the NAU, I'm opposed to it also. Not because I dislike Canada (far from it), but because of my suspicions about the greedy motives behind it.

  • Lastly, the image at :14 doesn't make sense. Marxism and private corporations are at polar opposites, so calling Wal-Mart "Wal-Marx" doesn't make sense at all. They're not Marxist in any way. Are they a greedy corporation? Yeah, probably, but Marxists hate corporations. So they're the opposite of Marxist.

    BTW, the motivation behind this song is similar to that of "Ordinary Man." Rik has been critical of the media (incl. very-leftist TV shows like 60 Minutes) & dishonest govt. for years.

  • well i posted @ Riks webpage, tried getten him thru teh cancon site, and remembring a chance meeting with Gil Moore a few years back at the Blockbuster vid store, tried there.

    --Ordinary Man..great Cut from allied Forces,,fight the good fight also a good companion piece.

    im not a professional videographer..by all means post your own vids ken..in any evnt..cheers

  • oil by shell and exxon and hussein is the boogie man used as the lie to takeover

  • You're the one lying. No one in the Bush administration said Hussein was a "boogie man." He was deposed because he violated 17 U.N. security council resolutions, was shooting at American & British planes enforcing the no-fly zone, and refused to give up his WMD programs. Even the Kay & Dulfer reports state, uneqivocally, that although no WMD were found, he retained his programs and could have started them back up right after inspectors left.

    We got tired of playing games with that tyrant.

  • no one in bush regime said hussein was a boogyeyman? really ken how naiive are u really?

  • Not naive in the least. I'm no fan of George Bush's presidency (although for different reasons than leftists have). But while I could cite a list of things I despised about him, deposing Hussein and ridding the world of that monster was one of the best things he did.

    Feel free to cite an example of your claim, with specifics, and I'll be happy to respond to it.

  • i guess teh funniest thing is you continue to use the term "leftists" who do u think u are responding to ken?

    ridding the world of mionsters? tahts the mandate..really? well why didnt we light uo saudi arabia like teh 4th of july kenny? u do recall 9/11 right buddy boy? oh..and btw..anoonymous posters are a funny bunch..enuff texting kenny..flip on cam and talk

  • Leftists are typically the people who hate Bush the most, aren't they?  I suppose the Ron Paul cranks, anarchists, nazis and others have their reasons too, but generally it's the far left that screams the loudest. By far.

    When/where did I say anything about ridding the world of all monsters? No, that's not the mandate. Such situations have to be taken on an individual basis, but not all monsters can be deposed as easily.

  • We didn't "light up" Saudi Arabia for a variety of reasons. A few OTTOMH:

    1. Despite their duplicitous nature, we still had a strategic air base there at the time and needed it.

    2. The country and its regime didn't attack us on 9/11. Yes, most of the 19 hijackers were from there, but they were private citizens, not Saudi agents. If one of the hijackers had been a Canadian citizen, would you advocate the U.S. attacking Canada? Yes or no?

    3. Saudi Arabia didn't have a WMD program.

  • ken...neither afghanistan nor iraq and its rspective regimes attecked you on 9/11.

    the reason i wondered bout your useage of lefty's coz u are posting on this particular vid. Ron Paul cranks? yep Constitutionalists sure are a crankyy bunch all right. Talking about monetary reform and whatnot.. Sure ken whatever.

  • Dexter,

    Afghanistan, at the time, was ruled by the Taliban, which not only harbord OBL but refused to turn him over after 9/11. If you can't see justification for the U.S. invading and deposing the Taliban after it enabled the killing of nearly 3,000 of my countrymen & women, I can't help you.

    Iraq was not invaded because anyone said it attacked us on 9/11. No one in the Bush adminstration ever said it did. That wasn't the reason it was invaded, nor did America ever claim it was.

  • ken u fucken chickenhawk, take the rationalizations u use for not lighten up saudi arabia and apply them to afghanistan.

    hey dude, i dont need nor am i lookin for your help. annonymous posters are the lamest fuckers on the planet..but you already knew that i suppose eh ken.

  • As for "anonymous posters," that comprises ~ 99% of the posters on You Tube.

    Lastly, I think people should know that you are a supporter of George Galloway, who was caught red handed in Saddam's oil-for-food scam that fleeced millions from innocent Iraqi citizens. His name is on the Hussein regime's payroll documents discovered by the U.N. Your support of him says a lot about you & your dishonesty.

    I think they way you're co-opting Rik's song to promote your dishonest agenda is disgraceful

  • apparently the lyrics of Rik's Song written more than 17 years ago completely went over your head..whatever dude.

  • @Ken5244 No iraq was invaded caus they wouldnt give back the WMD's that you sold them. I remember that YOUR gov told the rest of the world that they were there and they were willing to use them, well i think if they DID have them , they would have went off as soon as your GOV , WITHOUT approvel from the UNSC , invaded under false pretence's. IRAQ had NO WMD's.

  • As for my mentioning of "lefties," much of the propaganda in your video, as well as your claims about the war, is identical to what the left, both foreign & domestic, says about America. These are the Code Pink, MoveOn, Air America, N.Y. Times talking points. If you are indeed not a leftist, I would think that would give you considerable pause.

    I actually agree with some of Ron Paul's domestic positions, but he is a crank because of his remarkably clueless & ignorant foreign policy ideas.

  • @Ken5244 WOW. Really ken?. Why dont you come up north buddy , and say that shit dude.How about the fact that more than half of the "Terrorists" on all those flights are still alive across the world. Missinformation , Dissinformation, are the rules for media outlets in the USA.The rest of the world isnt blind , hence the fact that we (the world) have been trying to tell you for DECADES that your screwing your selfs over caus you DONT want to know the truth. TRUE STORY.

  • @Ken5244 Intercontinental Balistic Missles are classified as WMD's. So yes Saudi Arabia has WMD's.More than China or NK or russia. SO YES THEY DO!!!

  • Don't have a Web cam, and even if I did, I wouldn't think of using it on YouTube.

    My experience with these threads, on these types of subjects, is that they go on & on and rarely accomplish anything. Yesterday Dickmharper responded to one of my posts, so I responded back. And I responded to yours as well. But I don't have time to sit here for hours going back & forth. If you wanna believe the U.S. invaded Iraq to "steal" Iraqi oil, despite incontrivertible evidence to the contrary, go ahead.

  • As for "oil by shell and exxon," this is another pathetic lie. Iraqi oil is owned by the Iraqi govt. (and by extension, its people, since it is now a democracy, albeit an imperfect one). In fact, their factions have been fighting constantly over oil profit distribution. Lying leftists constantly beat the drum that America is "stealing" Middle East oil, yet I've yet to see proof that we've ever stolen a drop. If you can provide such proof, post it here. Otherwise, explain why you're lying.

  • somehow my site-kjack5 got mixed up into this video-if someone knows how to get my site out of this site please let me know-if you can find my real site!

  • this song is incomplete. will anybody please upload the whole song for me?

  • song isnt incomplete. its right off my 1991 Absolutely CD.

  • but I hear the song is partial, not this video clip, sorry. I couldn't find it on Piolet. Some of my download files [e.g. in Morpheus, Kazaa, Napster, etc.] are blocked by my mom as an administrative user.

  • heres a novel thought. buy the cd. u should be able to pick up a copy off of Amazon for under 10 bucks.

  • Fantastic!! Ron Paul, very cool.

  • this sounds like pseudo hair rock from 1987....otherwise good vid.....thnx

  • its from 91 rik Emmett was however frontman for power trio Triumph thru the 70's and 80's. This tune was off his first solo effort, absolutely.

  • Ms. hionfidelity:

    Have I upset you? Good.

    As for my IQ...it is high enough to know that liberal idiots like you have a long learning curve to negotiate before you come to the understanding that harsh actions sooner somtimes preclude the need for harsher ones later.

    What's yours?

    I think your'e funny.

  • who are u babblen about?

  • nice!

  • NAU will destroy the identity of all countries involved. i'm very happy being a canadian. i've met many people in USA that are good and decent people but in all honesty i wouldn't want to be american. i understand their desire to remain a country of their own as well. good vid. peace.

  • Very Good, very good. The message was loud and clear.

  • i love rik from triumph

  • I remember reading that paper too. Great song and Video thanks for sharing.

  • Holy moley! The surprise share of the day. Thanks slimjim006. Nice! REEEAL nice! 5*s :)

  • I thought both the song and the video were excellent. I have been writing protest songs for thirty years-my lastest is called- 'Rothschilds establishment'-my name on youtube is kjack5. My videos aren't near as good as yours but I do like the words I use in several of my songs.

    I hope you continue with what you are doing-I really do think you did a great job!

  • thanks kjack for the comment, i will check out your channel :)

  • Incredible, We need to hire a few Hitmen

  • Cool tune and video, dude!  I admire anyone who steps up to the plate and tells it like it is. Keep up the good work, bro!

  • Just want to point out that most Republicans oppose NAFTA. Blame the Democrats for bringing it into the U.S. Just another globalist program brought about to end the U.S.'s role as hegemonic power and destroy the nationhood of all countries. Just another way the Democrats want to give up control of the U.S. to the U.N.

  • Nafta was the brain-child of the heritage group that u like to refer to jeff. if most republicans oppose NAFTA, then i ask u sir, why is the republican leadership over since 2005 have sought to create the nau and spp? its NAFTA on steroids. Jeff, you are going to have to start looking past this left vs right paradigm. its nonsense. Think about what is best for your country, i hate to be the one to break this bubble for u ,,but Bill Clinton and George W Bush are 2 sides of the same coin.

  • Oh I know that Bush is a lefty, just like the Clintons. have you seen my note about him on my channel? I'm an anti-globnalist. Oh, and when I say the majority of Republicans, I am not talking about the leadership. The majority of democrats love America, their leaders obviously don't and have them fooled. Oh, and I like to qoute Heritage because they tend to be right on most things. NAFTA would be completely fine if the U.S. instituted the FairTax, but that's a discussion for another day.

  • jeff..the leaders are SELECTED..not ELECTED. don't u see that the independant voices, the ones that speak for the people's interests over the corporations are marginalized and shut out of the debate? on the democrat side i refer specifically to Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinish, on the Right side of the aisle, its obviously Ron Paul. now jeff, why would that be? why would the GOP do their best to silence DR Paul? how come Dr Paul and McCain aren't holding televised debates? Enlisted personell

  • by far support Ron Paul, himself a Veteran in monetary contributions. In a Democratic Republic, shouldn't the people have equal opportunity to decide on the Candidate based on their platform based on the issues? but that isn't happening is it now. What is it about Ron Paul that so scares the status quo? 70% of your population are against the occupation in Iraq. Ron Paul, incidently was against it from Day 1. Jeff, the elites..the MONEY LENDERS..they have historically financed

    war on bth sides

  • hey dex great video appreciate cv1122 for sharing and have faved it and shared well put together!

  • great vid cv1122! will fav and share keep up the good work getting the info out Ron Paul!!!!

  • thanks bren, but I cant take all the credit here, it was a collab...give dex some luv too :)

  • I disagree with this video. I don't think it's a lie at all. There's no deception when your liberties are being stripped from you as openly as the current admin is doing it. They don't have to lie to us anymore because they've placated us with McD's and Amer Idol.

  • hey there ole #7...i hear u man, but i guess you could say the vid's geared toward those that don't see yet....theyre too busy w/the sideshow circus called lamestream media...thanks again 4 watching & commenting:)

  • cv1122,

    Nice piece of work. Anybody hear the cuts yet from the Eagles

    newest release "Long Road Out of Eden"

    The title cut says a lot, but the cut "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture" is a masterwork. "Somebody" is biting, too. It's

    likened to turning the tables on Big Brother.

    Available only at WalMart. Maybe the label didn't want to distribute it at all.

  • Down with the N.A.U & 911 was an inside job

  • Well Done!

  • Well done, love that song.
