Wayne Morse from War Made Easy

[renzoomc]

Real Amercian hero

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

Nobody stands up like this anymore because of George Herbert Walker Bush. Since at least 1963, he has controlled the entire western world through the terror and assassination network that is the CIA. The true purpose of the CIA is nothing more than Anglo-Germanic supremacy all over the world, and the destruction of anyone -- regardless of race -- who would ever interfere with that, through "race mixing" policies such as communism.

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

And since 1963, when GHW Bush and his father Prescott masterminded the Dallas assassination of John F. Kennedy as revenge for Kennedy's having recently fired their good family friend, Allen Dulles, from being the head of the CIA, too many prominent people who have tried to truly stand up and challenge the corruption in America and all around the world, have been silenced or assassinated -- "mysteriously".

[standupgun]

I don't think a "democracy" is anything more than two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner, however I find it refreshing to see a politician willing to challenge the status quo, and to fight the unnecessary use of military action.

[kreendurron]

and now we have Ron Paul... will we listen?

[cobrabase]

If the president is acting in an unconstitutional manner we should not only go against him.... but REMOVE HIM.... by any means.

[username0727]

Can we get some protest going people. lets get out there and protest this shit

i am in Illinois anyone else up for it... They wont stop this war unless majority of us show up and make them... So stop watching videos and lets do something about it.

[tony225]

@username0727 I was at the protest in 2003 in NYC where there were more than 100,000 of us protesting. Worldwide that day were millions protesting. I didn't see any tangible effect from that protest. It made me feel like it was a waste of time. I don't think the majority of Americans will protest for change until they, personally, are effected. I just think things have to get really bad for the majority of us to get off our butts. We just don't want to be or can't be bothered.

[efrem1]

Just like Ron Paul, he clearly saw an act that was unconstititonal. It is interesting that the only member of the House that spoke out against Vietnam was a fundamentalist christian by the name of Eugene Siler from Kentucky.

[Nationsnotregimes]

By 1964 the criminals got away with the ventilation of JFK's head, and our people showed then they were brain dead by not hearing Senator Morse and see the regime media for the scum the were and are.

[mountain19]

the american ppl. cant formulate...wtf?

[at1266118]

His point on faith in democracy really struck me. I never looked at foreign policy from that perspective. What an intelligent and critical Senator he was.

[303naweed]

saw this film ( war made easy ) on netflix.. it was an eye opener thats for sure.... all thumbs up

[HalfwayHouse12a]

This is from a good documentary which is actually currently streaming on Netflix

[maroukos8]

wow!!!mr Morse was an unbelievable man!!!he spoke the truth with courage and unfearness....wish we had that kind of politicians all over the world!!!!!a true hero!!!you americans must wake up guys before it s too late.....i'm greek and i m not dislike american people...i m disgusted by your governments all these years...STOP IT!!ENOUGH ALREADY!!!you are people who is being sucked so many times....use your brains!!!!

[waveali]

Wow I didn't realize only two senators voted against the Gulf of Tolkin resolution. Listen to that idiot reporter on face the nation you would expect some nonsense undemocratic rhetoric like this out of Nazi Germany. Now I know why i don't bother watching MSM media. Worthless.

[ORWWmedia]

I listened to this guy -- "The Tiger of the Senate" -- debate the Vietnam War live, to a big crowd in Portland, about 1964.

This is what Oregon politicians used to be like, before the Wydens, Kulongoskis, and DeFazio career politicians took over. Independent, intelligent, and ethical. And here's more proof.

[dreezaayy]

If we had a politician today half as great as Sen. Wayne Morse, I'd be happy.

[samiemma]

There is no Wayne Morse in the Senate now. Only Feingold and Sanders are even close.

The U.S. Senate, an institution bought and run by corporate America.

[forty911]

Sen. Morse I think was only saying that he wanted to explain the foreign policy to the people. The media clown didn't think the people would understand it.. It should have been explained to the people.

[NebraskasWallpaper]

Sen. Morse seems to forget that we don't live in a democracy; we live in a representative republic. In a representative republic the elected officials make foreign policy not the people. The people's prerogative is to choose who makes foreign policy, not the policy itself. Wanna claim that Vietnam was an unmitigated disaster, I agree. But the people aren't responsible for making foreign policy.

[hardinmichael1981]

I wish we had anyone like him.

[forty911]

Why did it take till now for me to have heard of this Senator Morse?

[Nationsnotregimes]

@forty911

Because of enemay aliens media

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

loved the vid,could you check mine out :) keep it up!

[helenbransgrove]

Didn't know there had been such a courageous and sane voice in the US congress ever.

[samiemma]

Wayne Morse kicked that CBS newspeaker's ass! Sweet!

[rudyspeaks]

He was my dad's Const. Law professor at Oregon. In Aug. of '62 we stopped in DC to see him. I was 12 yrs old and unimpressed w/the slow motion droning of a bored Senate chamber. Suddenly, a Senator strode up to the mike and started an impassioned oration. Everyone was electrified. Hollywood couldn't have done it better. He was warning about meddling in VietNam. When he finished and left the chamber stunned. My dad said, "That's Wayne Morse". Later he bought me a chocolate sundae!

[MikeKilIer16]

@rudyspeaks hahahahahaha

[aeon23]

World Peace: If you defend war, then you are wrong. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact. Peace isn't a political concept...it's a moral concept. Those who search for peace, through peaceful means, WILL find it. Those who search for peace, through acts of war, WILL only find war. LASTING peace can not be achieved through war. The brief period between the end of one war and beginning of another war is not peace. When the fear of war is vanquished, then and only then will there be PEACE.

[FUN144]

Wayne Morse is shown in this clip to be a servant of the People!!

Today we the people are the slaves of big Government!! Ron Paul 2012

[RSal7]

He reminds me a little of Ron Paul :) Morse was brave; he didn't hop on the bandwagon... but it's sad that thinking or doing what is right is seen as something extraordinary. Why is it that we allow ourselves to fall for the same propaganda time & time again? Innocence can't be used as an excuse again - right?

[superfishle]

@RSal7 The difference being that Ron Paul is an Ayn-poisoned Libertarian, with no real plans to help anyone who can't help themselves...

[superfishle]

@superfishle Correction:

With no real plans to help anyone at all.

[paul8kangas]

Obama- get out of Afghanistan.

In 1961 I Met Senator Wayne Morse at

Anacosti NAS. The base commander knew I was from Oregon & went Sen Morse flew in, Cmd. Lewis? asked me to meet Sen. Morse & welcome him back to Washington. I was thrilled to talk with him again.

I can also remember the first time I saw his name, on a campaign poster pasted on a cement pillar, underneath a bridge in Stanfield, Oreg, about 1957.

Obama is now no different than Bush.

[samiemma]

You are correct. Obama is Bush's third term...on steroids.

[GunitaSingh]

beautiful, morse is wonderful

[gritzah]

you don't wanna know how deep the rot goes..........

[IAmM450n]

That's some powerful stuff.

[themeaningoflife38]

I'm going to look this guy up and see if LBJ had him killed or made him disappear.

[xxtrudatxx]

he was my hero.

[alimantas]

senator the constitution gives to the president of united states the sole responsibility for the conduct of foreign policies.....

couldn't be more wrong... u couldn't make a more unsound,legal statement than u just have made..

foreign policies belongs to American people...

all the president is just the administrator of peoples foreign policies...

[charlesrosaly]

We should have more say in this matter, more than we have now.

Absolutley!

[EugleYmatto]

I heart Oregon

[larma7]

This guy is THE biggest bad-ass motherfucker I have ever come across!!!

[Hero1957]

Givem Hell LARMA :)

[larma7]

LOL! How the hell are ya?

You got to admit, this guy is perhaps the biggest statesman/patriot to ever hold a position of power.

[Hero1957]

He's got ball, that's for sure. :)

[CaptainObvious420]

PWN3D! Wayne makes me proud to be an Oregonian.

[dontshootmesanta]

Do we have any other choice other than OBAMA or McCain?

[procommenter]

Only as you drift into R.E.M. sleep. The decision has been made: Rockefeller's C.F.R. member #1, or Rockefeller's C.F.R. member #2.

[ninjasaki8569]

This is great to find this video of Senator Morse, my grandfather and him were best friends, I still have the photos of him and I from when I was 3 years old. I also remember going to the picnics at his ranch in Eugene,Or.

[FunkUpUp]

brilliant hes a real democrat, maybe he is one of the guys which knows what freedom is, and that the president is only the bundled voice of the nation.

awesome speech

[kb8doa]

I guessing that he is probably turning over-and-over in his grave today.

Matter fact - We should go find his grave, and solute to this last great American politician.

[Postie218]

@kb8doa He's buried in Eugene Oregon. He was one of our best, Mark Hatfield also opposed the war, but came into the Senate a bit later. Unfortunately, Wayne Morse was replaced by a ditto head republican, Bob Packwood. who supported the war.

[NsOakland6]

A true Hero and Patriot.

[cstarsoft2000]

I love the way he shoves the neocon notions of the imperial presidency right back down the throats of those "press" people who were trying to marginalize him. He was no afraid of a good fight. We are poorer without him.

[Cooman456]

the only two senators to vote against the Gulf of Tolkein Resolution to get us into Vietnam was Ernest Gruening and Wayne Morse. All of the other senators followed Johnson blindly, and then loudly complained about Vietnam. Does it sound familiar?

[1AppleofEden]

@Cooman456 --The Gulf of Tonkin, now undeniably a Total Lie, a "False Flag" operation, which seems to be what each new generation is manipulated and tricked with. KNOW HISTORY, it does repeat itself...

The Reichstag fire of Adolph Hitler to Vietnam to today...History is undeniable and anyone can research in 2 minutes these days.

[IhateGary]

This is truly one of the great moments in American history. They should be filming this clip on all those cable news programs so that the American people can see that there truly have existed lone voices crying out for their rights and exposing the fraud that is the imperial presidency.

[Rateman10]

Washington still playing the same old tune

[mailer666]

excellent!

[poneseven]

Such courage in the face of adversity is refreshing to see. Had our representatives such a backbone we would not be in the quagmire that is Iraq, hundreds of thousands of lives lost to Imperial presidency....

What a shame.

Lesson never, ever, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever rush to war.

And shame to everyone who profited from this tragedy.

[Rickdeckard2020]

It would be helpful if every school in the US and on the planet we live on made the book "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler mandatory reading.

[Tone202]

wow, the american masses had noting to do with bush being in office and going to war. wmd where, how many lies do we have to hear before the republican are thrown in jail for what the have done.

[cirkushat]

Pure poetry

"I have complete faith in the ability of the American people to follow the facts if you'll give them. And my charge against my government is we're not giving the American people the facts"

[zeplinwolf]

Ron Paul for President. Spread the word!

[Whoo69]

Ron Paul IS the Wayne Morse of this generation. :D

[hitlerANDcosby]

No, Ron Paul is the Barry Goldwater of this generation.

[juliaisafilmbuff]

Can we shut up about Ron Paul for TWO SECONDS?

[revolron08]

Ask Anderson Cooper if you want to shut up Ron Paul.

[JoeyPencils]

Why would we want to not talk about Ron Paul?...he has been right consistently for years and few listen to him...look at the state of the world and you want to silence a voice of reason? To see and hear what Wayne Morse said 40 years ago and juxapose to what RP says is sobering...

[realnoid]

Senator Wayne Morse an outsider? When I was

growing up Wayne Morse was considered a Communist and a traitor...sound familiar?

He was considered straight out-of-his-mind.

He was an old man WHO COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED.

Fulbright was the same. Of coarse I grew up

listening to WOR radio with Fulton Lewis III

every night to tell me what to think. Now

we have Fulton Lewis IV or V FOR A NEW

GENERATION who nod their heads and say "it

is right and it is just" all over again.

[KlausPettersson232]

Ron Paul is the best!!!!!!

[99debyost]

Sen. Wayne Morse was known to the powerful as "Wayne the Pain" because he caused them discomfort through his adherence to the TRUTH. I met the man when I was a young (teenage) antiwar protester and he is a lifelong hero of mine. A firm Constitutionalist and advocate of civil liberties and rights, the one who best embodies Sen. Morse's ideals today is Ron Paul.

[danostamper714]

you got that right Ron Paul and Senator Morse have a whole lot in common

[montejerome]

What an orator.. Real Kahunas this man had.. The current pretenders are pussies hiding behind mercenaries and dictators and the police while grinning and lying and thieving to glory.. Have America wasted a good politician there or what ? Now the US Democrats have to pick between Obama and Clinton.. How far have the standards fallen ? Have you got any more of this Great man ?

[andythefork]

Reminds me of Ron Paul

[pugnax3]

Sign..Morse, Gruening, Fulbright..will we ever see your like again?

[jet945]

I worked for Wayne Morse when he was Dean of the Oregon Law School. He was an intelligent, honest and honorable man. I wish we had senators like him today, when we need them so badly.

[renaldo999]

total bad ass (meaning "good," for those not up-to-date on contemporary vernacular).

he sounds a bit like today's ron paul.

[mottnianhunter]

Where does the Constitution say the president is "an administrator of the people's foreign policy"?

God bless you Senator but not in my Constitution.

[PeaceSurge]

History repeats itself again and again. Wars are just too easy to start. Thanks for showing this video.

[selfTrust1]

I wish Ron Paul's speaking ability was comparible to Wayne Morse. Paul's message is strong, but could be carried further and faster if you could just put a little "umph" in it.

[vomit55]

i simply love this old guy...

[TainaAtheist]

Sen. Wayne Morse sounds a lot like Presidential Canditate Dennis Kucinich . . . let the people decide war, not the president, which is the way it would have been if President Bush had not taken US into his own hands.

[urbanclimber777]

that sounds roses and lolipops, but seriously how do "the people" formulate foreign policy?

[zenboy3000]

A well informed population could simply vote on it. I think going to war is a damn good reason to call a vote. Unfortunatly this would mean *real* democracy, which is not a desireable situation for the people in charge, as they would not be in charge if this happened. Hence people today are neither well informed nor get any say in foreign policy.

[urbanclimber777]

people aren't smart enough to vote intelligently even if they're well informed. who would rather decide to go to war, the gov. or viacom?

[zenboy3000]

And what makes you think people in the government are intelligent? And why do you separate "the people" and "the government"? They should be one and the same no? (*Should be*).

To say that people in general should not be trusted to use their intellect provided the proper information, and be subjugated to some sort of superior class is a heavily anti-democratic, rather "eugenic" thing to say.

[urbanclimber777]

look. the governemnt IS dishonest and a leech. but we can expect them to act like a dishonest leech. then using our limited inluence (which should be increased) we can get them not to act like a leech 4 a little while. the people are sheep. they follow whoever looks like he knows what he is doing. if you have a people run country you'll just have a bunch of strongmen politicians. Also corporations would gain huge influence. (not a good thing)p.s. are you familiar with athenian democracy?

[zenboy3000]

yes kid, I'm familiar with Athenian democracy.

I got news for you, corporations have huge influence *today*, right now. And better participation in democracy and a better educated populace acts to fight this, not encourage it. I don't see how you can draw that conclusion. I also don't understand your stance that people should be kept stupid and subjugated.

Wayne Morse understood exactly what democracy was.

[urbanclimber777]

u r assumeing that the populace can easily become better educated and informed. (informed maybe, but I would ask who is doing the informing becasue whoever does basically controls public opinion) really, corporations have influence today^? but in your propsed society, they have a much greater influence. do you want your country run by corporations or governemnts? (as if the gov. isn't bought off by the corporations)

[zenboy3000]

--u r assumeing that the populace can easily become better educated and informed.--

Why wouldnt i assume that well-informed people make good decisions? Do you just assume that everyone is stupider than you or do you include yourself in "the people"? Morse called for disclosure of info to the public, this includes removing misinformation and propaganda. He is very correct in his statements.

[urbanclimber777]

persons can be very intelligent. people though usually aren't.

"Why wouldnt i assume that well-informed people make good decisions" see my thing about corporate influence.

p.s. I agree with what morse said, I'm trying to understand how "the people" separate from the gov. (which is supposed to be the people) would dictate foreign policy. all you've said is educated informed people would vote on it. I don't think that would effectively dictate foreign policy.

[zenboy3000]

--but in your propsed society, they have a much greater influence--

First off, i didnt propose a society. Im commenting on this video, Wayne Morse and your comment that people cannot be trusted with democracy and foreign policy. Second if you think corporate interests do not play a part in US foreign policy, you're living in a cave. Third, when you say corp influence would increase with a stronger democracy, id love to know what you base that on.

[urbanclimber777]

the idea of calling avote on war and other such matters would be a very different society. sorry for accusing u of proposing it. in this stronger democracy each person would have more influence (which is good) however I'm assuming its the mainstream media doing the informing. this would cause the same thing that goes on now with presidential election wear either the canidate with more money or media support would win. the same thing would happen with foreign policy. this is not a good thing.

[zenboy3000]

---do you want your country run by corporations or governemnts? (as if the gov. isn't bought off by the corporations)---

Thats a rhetorical fallacy called a "false dilemma". Please study some Aristotle along with your ancient Athenian political systems.

[urbanclimber777]

what pissed you off so much about asking if you knew about athenian democracy? I just find it a very interesting way of doing things. it wasn't a shot at you or anything.

[partymariner]

Actually, in Athens, only males who were citizens were allowed to vote for a body called the Council of 200..sort of like the US congress. Women and slaves, which accounted for about 90+% were completely disenfranchised.

[urbanclimber777]

ya. i jsut kinda like the idea (direct democracy not rule by 10% of the people) of it even if its practical.

[partymariner]

I hear you..I share the same ideal! That film clip is a good one!

[hamshow]

From our track history the government does not look good...

[urbanclimber777]

?..

[hamshow]

We need another country to keep warmongers like Bush and the crazy NeoCons in check...

[urbanclimber777]

that had nothing to do with what we were talking about.

[schattenjedi]

in 10-15 years China should be able to help out there ^^

[Proteus42222]

Oooof... 5 stars Dude!!!! Thanks!!!

[josj15]

thank you for posting this video. wayne morse is truly an inspiration and it really bothers me how just about 99% of our politicians dont have this sort of passion for defending the constitution and choose to stand for special interests

[BuzzCoastin]

Excellent post! We the People abide! The Power Elite are a name for those who hold tenuous power over a tolerant and peace-loving People. en in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them...

[Whorulesnow]

Thank you for posting this video.

We the people have lost the government, senate, congress, media and of course, the administration to which George Bush controls. This is our country and the only way to protect it is to take it back. We must do this together.

[Romperjet]

I couldn't agree more! We need more people like Wayne Morse, who aren't afraid to speak the truth.

[Taranau]

It's easy to see why the Establishment has kept Wayne Morse unfamous.And it's been said that the anti-war movement was a thing of the younger generation of long-haired hippie Jesus freaks.

[hypnofan35]

If the president can start a war: the logical conclusion is that he or she can exercise dictatorial power over anyone who might oppose him? I sounds like they're trying to say that is how thing are and must be. In my lifetime this meant upon turning 18 i was to go to war or be locked up as a felon without ever having a vote. I suppose this is normal.
