The Real News Radio, Russell Means, 4-15-08

[beone011]

The U.S. gov gives more rights to freedom, opportunity than any nation on the planet, To compare any nations civil rights or freedoms to the United States is obsurd. Natives have the right to do as they please. Natives preyed on weaker tribes killing, enslaving, torturing other natives for centuries so the rule of law and civility today is not causing anyone to suffer. Natives benefit from anglo advances in every aspect of life and the U.S. military protecting and allowing them to live in peace.

This from russell means who assaulted and beat his ELDERLY father in law on the navajo reservation then fled saying the navajo nation had no right to prosecute him. that is a fact. Native Americans have all the same rights that all Americans have Today. russell is always beating a dead horse.

[TwilightFalls]

@beone011 Imperialism taints everything it touches and the legacy lasts--the Americas, Ireland, India, you name it, people today are suffering because of what happened then. As long as that is the case, I don't see how it's a dead horse. "Rights" (which don't actually exist, they're purely theoretical) have little bearing on the shitty card you're dealt in life.

I can't comment on the assault as I know nothing about it. Regardless, the man makes some valid points.

[beone011]

@TwilightFalls Natives should thank the U.S. gov that every country that tried to defeat the U.S. in wars were defeated, If this didn't happen then human/civil rights would be non-existant or greatly diminished. How many countries torture, imprison, kidnap, kill people like means who talk foolishly about all the freedoms he ENJOYS yet denies having?

[TwilightFalls]

@beone011 The US would never kidnap and torture someone so prominent. Especially not someone who's been in Hollywood movies. No, they do that in secret, to people America couldn't care less about.

[mediastarguest]

There are no politicians in Europe fit to clean this man´s shoes.

[mediastarguest]

we all hate each other here in europe, theres no room for us to live together in peace. We are peace haters and money lovers!

[NativeHope]

Russell Means is our leader, and we love him for fighting for our rights, and don't ever forget that he, along with Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt still fight for our rights to this day! Pelamayapelo. Mitakuye Oyasin!

[purespirit9]

I am all for Russell Means!!! Creator's blessing goes to the Lakotah Nation!!! I wonder what group of Native American will be next?

[tmad890]

this is so great, i have just found out about this, and am greatful that the lakotah is now free. and i pray they stay that way.

[SiouxPianist]

What to say, what to say...

[ElisaHut]

Thanks for sharing, Acerb! This is a great man! A leader!

[00AshleyFanNation00]

good interview*****

[JoeyJr702]

Freedom!!! Yes!!! Where do I sign? Russell Means, great work!

[Phana24JeffG]

LOLOl....Uncle Russ is out peddling more propaganda? So at this powwow, Uncle Russ wants to undo the Louisiana Purchase? Hey Cochese, this train left the station about 200years ago. Did they put too much THC in your peacepipe again?

[Slavesrevolt]

Irrelevant attempts to belittle and shame people speaking out for people's rights?

You have no rights, your privileges are disappearing too.

Continue to live in a dream world where your government loves you. I'm sure that your efforts will be greatly appreciated by you descendants.

[Phana24JeffG]

Slave, you really need to cut down on the 'shrooms. I was born with certain inalienable rights, and served my country to defend them. You can live in some lunatic parallel universe where the Illuminati, the Vatican, Bush Family, or whatever Flavor of the Month is bothering the conspiracy kooks today. I prefer to live in the real world where we do not need parasites like Russell Means harassing productive Americans who have developed the various plains states Russ is trying to extort.

[Slavesrevolt]

Born with rights? Are you serious? You think being born in one part of the world makes you free and gives you rights?

You have the right to stay where you are and continue to do what you're told. Enlist, work, buy food, get drunk, breed, pay taxes and stay tuned to the TV for other state approved activities. Be prepared to lie to support the states case on creationism, 911, WMD Torture, War, the list is endless.

Form your lies and carefully. People are watching.

[Phana24JeffG]

LOLOL....I borrowed that phrase from the Declaration of Independence. Yes, all men are born with those rights. I was blessed to have been born in a nation that recognizes those rights.

I have the fortune to travel to many nations including three Islamic shitholes, so I am aware of how precious these rights are to me. You are lucky enough there are people like me willing to fight to make sure you have the right to be a kook, and believe whatever your next acid trip leads you to believe.

[Slavesrevolt]

Poor deluded drone. Fighting and killing to bring freedom. Do you ever listen to yourself or do you just talk to hear the sound of your own voice?

CIA assassination squads? Torture? Depleted Uranium? Oh the war machine is such a wonderful tool. And you were a cog in the machine and proud of it? How many human beings did you kill? How many fellow earthlings did you snuff out in the name of "freedom" Where were their rights not to be killed by invading Americans?

American murder.

[Phana24JeffG]

I like the CIA, they fed us good info. If they eliminated some of our enemies, cool! DU makes for OUTSTANDING ammo. Our guys were popping turrets off the T-72s like champagne corks! Terrorists deserve some watersports, those lucky MPs. I didn't get to kill any Muzpuppets, I flew a Chinook, the Apache guys got all the fun. I only wish I had still been in after 9/11, I would have made sure to get a few Muzpuppies one way or another.

[Slavesrevolt]

Nice, glad you feel so good about murder. It must make it easy to sleep at night dreaming about killing fellow humans for god king and country.

Have a nice life exploiting others. Live the good life while 26,000 people starve to death everyday and your American idols get pedicures.

Glad to see you are pitching in and helping to make the world a better place for your communist government. I'm sure this will make for nice bedtime stories for your children or do you just plop them in front of TV?

[Phana24JeffG]

It was sure better killing them than having them kill me. What do those 26,000 people who starve have in common? The lack of a free market that rewards productive people and a stabile society with rules.

My children are grown, one in grad school, the other still an undergrad. You see, intelligent people who do not believe in whacko conspiracies breed intelligent children that also become producers in our society.

[godlesspatriot]

you're incredibly ignorant

you never question anything except for what you're programmed to question

the government, media, or some other institutionalized power could do whatever they want and just say its for the good of the country, and you'd just swallow it up

TRY TO QUESTION, CRITICIZE AND INTELLECTUAL DEBUNK

Otherwise, you just look like another ignorant, jingoist, blind nationalist, robot

and your arrogance that you're intelligent and those that disagree with you are not is ABSURD

[Phana24JeffG]

Godless, wake up and smell the roses. I question many things, but do not blindly believe every whacko conspiracy theory that comes along. Perhaps if you broaden your horizons and discovered how life is in the majority of the world, you would begin to appreciate what we have in the USA.

[godlesspatriot]

actually I do

but you are clearly ONLY looking at life through a structural functionalist perspective

try looking at life through a conflict perspective, for once

when you combine the 2, you actually have a broader understanding of the world around you (and not just the USA)

[Phana24JeffG]

Structural functionalist perspective??? WTF kind of social science bs is this? While you and your sociology/anthropology professor were sitting in class talking about this psychobabble, men were out giving their lives so you could have the opportunity for such an education. Our enemies do not want to discuss our differences, resolve grievances, or find common ground, they want to destroy us. Does that element of "conflict perspective" get through?

[godlesspatriot]

hahahaha

you completely prove your ignorance

men didn't die for my education. they died b/c they signed up or were forced to take orders from a militaristic foreign policy

I love how pro-war, jingoistic, blind nationalists just correlate and place credit to the military for anything positive accomplished in this country

as if it wouldn't have been acomplished w/o the murderous actions of the military. the military would not exist without our consitution, and thats where credit is due

[godlesspatriot]

ya and instead of just labeling a perspective as social science bs, try to open your extremely closed mind

if not, you should probably go sign up for some government institution, b/c you'd be the perfect patsy to drone on and on about how great America is and everything in it

the only problems you see are the 1s that powerful institutions indoctrinate you with. (we have to go blindly chase terrorists in Iraq to ensure freedom. "well, its for freedom, so I'll believe it")

WAKE UP

[Phana24JeffG]

Sparky, not only did I manage to graduate with a major in a soft science (economics) at the same time I majored in chemistry. Trust me, the lads in the science building have forgotten more than the loony liberals in the liberal arts will ever know.

Perhaps if you went overseas and observed one of the Islamic shitholes or spent time in one of the poor Third World countries, you might acquire a clue as to how the world works.

[godlesspatriot]

I could care less if you graduated w/ a degree

you clearly haven't applied that knowledge to your life

instead, AMERICA #1 ALWAYS

you might like to hide behind your institutional accomplishments b/c of what mainstream society values

but your messages point to a sad, lost person who's too scared or worse, too lazy, to even look around or outside of what the MAIN$TREAM INORMATION tells you

w/ your little political party attacks w/ no evidence, it just solidies your immense ignorance

[Slavesrevolt]

You keep telling yourself those state approved lies, I'm sure you will come to believe them in time.

[Passenger87]

Too much THC in the peace pipe, I guess talking about something you know nothing about is quite common with ego's. You're obviously brainwashed and theres a reason why you came here maybe you can't admit things yourself but if you tried to think for a couple of hours every day and stopped watching TV i'm sure you could easily change your views in life. Sad to see people so ignorant and foolish with hatred I wish you strip your ego and you have a life changing experience.

[john35944]

Ok where are all the people moving to the rez?

Where are all the whites with businesses moving there trying to get away from taxes?

Means is an attention seeker, been in trouble with the law his whole life, his family members disowned him-don't even talk to him and he speaks of family. He has good ideas but their foundation is in fantasy land. He despises whites, yet preaches he wants to end 'all racism'.

[acerb45666555]

good interview. 5*****

[FJAVPAVON]

I understand these reasons perfectly.

Francisco.

[Slavesrevolt]

Solidarity and education are starting to awaken the slaves.

Truth and honesty will defeat lies and deception.

[rainbowmatrixs]

*****! L&L to ALL...!

[bordeauxchick]

How many other Lakota support this Lakota Freedom? I have read in tribal news that many do not.

[qualqui]

Tlazcamati for sharin', learn something new everyday! So the Louisiana Purchase wasn't really buying the land, buying the rights to non-competitive rights to deal with the native ppls., will spread the word, LAKOTAH REPUBLIC FOREVAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[NativeHope]

Hey, man. The United States government broke almost every treaty that they made with all Indian Nations, and they only kept one promise: they promised to take the land, and they took it. You rock, Means!!!!

[7wolfs]

good luck in your lakota nation homeland

[LakotaRepublic]

Check out on our channel, the TREATY SCHOOL web site. A worthy cause for those who want to support us. Thankyou. Walk in beauty. John

[lollythunderclould]

My prayers to the Lakota people.

[letstalkaboutstuff]

Things that scare the SHITE out of the US gov are: Natives taking their education seriously, tribal unity to gain land back stolen from them, unity (strength in Numbers) to get their individual Indian money (IIM)returned back to them because it's embezzled every day by the US gov.--- deceptive methods admitted to 'on the record', and getting a grip on substance abuse. The US gov LOVES corrupt tribal leaders too. Just because it's not "out there" know the gov keeps tabs on it.

[Steadno]

I believe the indigenous people of this land will rise from the ashes of this nation's self destruction like a giant mighty Phoenix!

[WolfArden44]

Soulfree Yeah your right.Larry and CNN,mainstream crap.I just figured since they allowed Ventura to speak they would allow Means too.I agree with ya,Good points.

[Lacote100]

This is just great!!! :o)

[thefellasmusic]

I applaud Russell for his stance; he speaks with heart and soul, and does so with intelligence and gentle authority.

[NICOLEJETTE]

Russell Means Freedom.

Many blessings.

Much love.

[WolfArden44]

The Government is ignoring them,So is this legalized right now as we speak?Or do further efforts have to be made?

Has anyone attempted to bring this forth to the mainstream media?Or is the media ignoring them too? The media are good at censoring.This is huge,U would think the Mainstream Media would give SOME coverage to it.

Maybe try to get an interview with Larry King,Who knows.This should be out there more than it is.Go Lakota.100% behind ya.

[lotus6661964]

great and thanks for the video

[ellybijvoet]

Great and THANKS for sharing!!

Have a peaceful and blessed weekend.

[ancestralblue]

That being so, then all legislation must meet Crown approval. All laws are made to further their hold on the lands and the people as property. It has been done slowly with the intent to limit any and all abilities to resist their control. BUT...they are out of time. A definite time table is in place, in Cosmic terms, and this is why the mad scramble to shut all of the voices up. Hence H.R.1955. Doesn't matter. They WILL lose the game. And we will one day soon, have an indigenous president.

[ancestralblue]

The greatest importance in what Russell Means has said is in the distinction between natural law and man made law. Natural law is in favor of the life of the earth and it's people. Man made law is in favor of controlling the people and the planet to the benefit of the elite. Man made law is under the control of banking interests through the Crown Temple in England who owns Bar associations around the world. In order to pass the Bar, a lawyer must swear an oath to the Crown.

[Dad103]

Its a great idea, but there are too many borders for some of us to cross. And the new laws since 9/11 prevent some of us from crossing those borders.

[shakybearpaw]

No this is about race. and only one border,and nothing to do with 9/11. Mexico had nothing to do with 9/11. this is another way of dealing with an unwelcome race, a kinder woed for racism. you think a mexican is worse than any Osama who knocked down a building.Where is the fence on the other borders, laws to round up canadians. Why don't you people put a number on our foreheads and wrist to keep better track of us

[Dad103]

I indicated the changes made to passports since 9/11 prevents ME from ever crossing the border to get there. And I am NOT a governmental supporter.

[824scso]

O-si-yo, to-hi-tsu o-gi-na-li'. Fight english only laws. In a country where freedom of speech is ==valued++ they are trying to silence all native speech and language. Silence the voices, silence the people.

[Taranau]

One of the ways,they've learned to use,to silence the voices is;ignore them and they'll go away...I don't think they realize that Russell's not going away.That Youtube and The Word Of Mouth are spreading the news.I'm going to be e-mailing this to as many people as I can.I suggest that,all who care,do the same.

[hvwadohiyadv]
