Woodrow Wilson Speaking at Labor Convention, 1918?

[xander7ful]

Who is the fellow at 0:28 that Mr. Gompers is talking to?

[zodiacchiller]

I wish women still dressed like that

[jros83]

LOL at all the Tea Party trolls targeting Wilson videos. LOL names like "billyguns," yeah you're not a redneck hick who reflixively votes Republican without ever thinking why you do it. lol assholes.

[TLK013]

@jros83

Wilson was a terrible president whose policies very nearly destroyed this country. And quite honestly, he was extremely racist.

And just because you voice your opinion doesn't mean you're a troll. If anything, the ignorant person is YOU, making assumptions about people based on their names.

[bonfirejovi]

He was a sick, twisted racist who shares a lot of the blame for the current financial collapse (the Fed) and the expansionary foreign policy (the Wilsonian principle).

[ddenniscoleman3]

Was that a black guy with his hand on his chin at 0:12

[kissed61]

You could probably cut the tension with a knife between Wilson and Gompers from 0:27 - 0:44

[mortysand]

Wilson is not in that segment.

[mindspring57]

Woodrow Wilson is the absolute worst president ever (excluding the one currently in office). He involved us unnecessarily in the First World War, and through his pompous arrogance, ruined any chance for success of the League of Nations. And he was a racist, and he cheated on his wife.

[Rawbtala]

Germans were owning the Atlantic, sinking our ships, denying our rights to the high seas. Their spies were sneaking around Washington. A chance at Allied victory, thus winning influence on France and Britain. And he was pro-British from the beginning. Those are good enough reasons to go to war.

You're right about the LoN, however, his failure in 1919 didn't matter. His idea of the LoN popped up again at the end of WWII, and at the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989.

[procommenter]

The "Lusitania" was loaded with armaments. Germany wanted peace and petitioned the Vatican to broker it. Read Walter Karp's: "The Politic of War."

[Rawbtala]

Right but they didn't know that until after they sank it. Throw that argument out the window. Also, come on man i'm not gonna read up on that. If you want to cite it, why don't you just tell me what its about?

[procommenter]

The "Lusitania" was a hospital ship that was loaded with armaments to be used to kill Germans so a German sub sank the ship.

[Rawbtala]

Yeah! The Lusitania was indeed loaded with armaments, BUT they didn't sink it because of that. They didn't know about it until after they sank it! Lusitania was a British passenger liner not a hospital ship. LOL British and Americans weren't sick on that ship, they bought the damn tickets! Why do you keep insisting the Germans sank it primarily because it was loaded with armaments? They sank it essentially because it was British.

[nekrad23]

It was an covered British miltary transport with US people onbard.

The bankster clique used it to drive US into war against Germany, which is STILL hold under occupation (for now about 70 years - illegal under Law Of Nations).

[nekrad23]

US also spied the Gemans.

They KNEW that they'll bomb London (with the help of Rockefeller), but they kept it secret, to have a reason for destroying Dresden - AFTER the 3rd Reich already had been fallen.

We really can be lucky that they didn't do their original plan to throw one of the A-Bombs taken from Thuringia underground base.

That pleasure was later given to the Japanese, which had been deliberately driven into war by the US regime.

[ssjtoji]

The Japanese were driven into War...so...basically Americans told the Japanese to annex Korea, Vietnam, and parts of China? That was all part of the U.S. plan to make the Japanese go to war? Please refrain from commenting unless sober.

[nekrad23]

Yes, by a massive embargo, combined with lots of other aggressions. So Japan did not see any other way out and so stepped directly into the trap.

The Wilson regime was a bankster and military-industrial lead one. Here in Germany we have our special experiences with such kind of politics.

[Caretika]

Yes because Japan was affecting the west's interests and war's bonus is that you have a  special hand at the econoimy of the losser's country read history...

[procommenter]

I rank Lincoln as our worst president with Thomas Woodrow Wilson & F.D.R. fighting it out for a distant second place.

[nekrad23]

No, now the US have an even worse president.

If nobody stops him, he'll lead the US directly into Facism.

[Charlie265]

Wilson was a "racist pig" but so was most of the nation. When TR lost the 1912 nomination to Taft and the "conservatives", the GOP went on a path that continues to this day.

[billyguns2]

I weep for our country when I realize Taft, T. Roosevelt, and Charles Evans Hughes were rejected in order to elect this fool, racist pig, self-righteous control freak who ruined America. Harding did his best, and Coolidge was a bright spot, but it's been mostly downhill since this idiot Wilson. Thanks, Woodrow, for the Federal Reserve which made our money worthless; the Income Tax; and the insane idea that we have the right to kill anyone who isn't with us.

[mtf10]

Good lord, you Ron Paul lunatics are invading videos of dead presidents now? Just go back to your cave already.

[acbla3]

if by 'ron paul' lunatics you mean people who can critically analyse their world with a grasp of knowledge...then yes...and, to let you know, there does happen to be a notable sized segment of the u.s. population who are not dumb and not rich

[gonesouthin]

well if Ron Paul is so smart and such he should have been able to convince the american public that he is the right choice for president.

[bbstopit]

Start with this quote from Woodrow himself.

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men...

[bbstopit]

We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world - no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

-President Woodrow Wilson

[jxhensley]

Hello fake quote

[billyguns2]

Yes, and he ( WIlson ) played a huge part in the wrecking of our nation.

[nekrad23]

The mega corporations, controlling the mass media, did everything to kick him out of the run and now they've put their Bresziski-Puppet Obma into office.

Exactly the same they already here in Germany before WW-II.

The Nazi aren't defeated, just changed venue.

[RudyPorter01]

Do you know anything about Woodrow Wilson besides the comments made about him by Ron Paul? I generally agree that US involvement in WWI was unnecessary, but giving any credit to Harding and Coolidge - two do-nothings that cemented Republican ties to big business and wealth - is rather twisted.

[BLUETIB]

Google "Balfour declaration" and Tube "freedom to fascism"

[nekrad23]

And read Tarpley's books :)

[BLUETIB]

Webster Tarpley maintains that the September 11 attacks were engineered by a rogue network of the military industrial complex and intelligence agencies. he describe a model of false flag terror operations by a rogue network in the military/intelligence sector working with moles in the private sector and in corporate media.
