  • Mike Gravel was a wonderful Senator and did much good. Too bad he is not still in the U.S. Senate.

  • And this is why im voting Ron Paul

  • Just think - the US had the chance to elect Mr. Gravel president, but the US voter is too uninformed (and maybe stupid) to make an intelligent decision!

  • Government is a tool, and it will never be wielded by the people.

  • that fucking country is becoming a land of shit

  • The US does need to go to war. We need to go to war with Israel, they have weapons of mass destruction and are a threat to the US. Everyone write to obama and tell him that Israel has MWDs and must be destroyed.

  • U.S is not the toughest one. Why the fuck are the countries scared of the U.S i mean Russia and China can fuck U.S right in the ass. -_'

  • @MrEdmond1 Are you kidding me? China can't even mobilize it's military. We outnumber Russia, and we are technologically superior. At the same time, yes, they could defeat us through sheer numbers, but singular? Not even.

  • USA is the biggest threat to human civilization, right after global climate change.

  • someone who actually speaks the truth !

  • It actually wages war on its own people as well.......

  • So true, and thanks for uploading - I live in Europe. I hope the American people will soon realize all this, and start electing decent people. Not that they are typical for the species "politician"... Have a good day.

  • 2 persons out o the entire US that i personally feel can be a responsible president . . .Mr. Gravel and Dr paul , having both of them at the head of gov . . prolly a miracle .

  • This guy should be the next US president, but we all know he, and no one like him, will ever be.

  • @CyGrGuy - Stranger things have happened. 

  • Great Man! —This is the man we all need to speak for us!

  • cant wait till thw world joins forces and declare war on usa

  • While we get to hear occasional truth about the US, the sad reality is the demise of America serves the corporate elites agenda whole heartedly and they have done enough to strengthen their positions against any possible treat of revolt by the people.

    The key to their success was democracy a thinly guised false view that you are free to make choices if all choices lead back to them.

  • 11:38

    When has government ever done good?

  • Why can't these kind if men rise up to be presidents, prime ministers and so on. We just vote the very worse. Yah we dumb as doorknobs.

  • The USA is behaving like the world's largest terrorist group these days and not like a nationthat should be touted as world leaders. Their black ops all over this planet are spraying us with chemicals, poisoning our food and water sources, trying to control our weather and our very thoughts with their evil toys. Truth be told they are the one's we all should fear. They won't be happy untill they have control over everyone and everything, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.

  • This is a very brave man speaking the truth.

  • Russkie ears enjoy this.

  • Go RT! Slava Rossya!!!

  • Didn't he run in 2008 for president? But what great ideas; he would make an excellent president and the United States would be much-loved throughout the world.

  • This Senator has great philosophies that lie just in the right place.

    I'm going Republiturd and voting for Ron Paul, but this guy just puts it right.

    I'd vote for him'!

  • These USA led wars are motivated by Zionism political agenda

  • i love this comparison, USA is our drunken stepfather!

  • The American Government doesn't spend their money on defense, the spend it on aggression.

  • @Somerseti941 well said bro !

  • Please throw this up in the face of the establishment and see what will happen...do this in front of Romney and Gringrich and see what will happen.

  • The US is a war hungry drunk, albeit one reduced to drinking cheap wine with whatever few dollars they have left. Israel is pushing them into oblivion and the US government just does not care as long as the military killing machine keeps on trucking.

  • An here is Cuba 90 miles off our shores and the US still refuses to trade with them. Meanwhile every other nation is trading with...biting off our nose to appease those right wing hater exiled filthy rich in Florida.

  • Hero after the fact!!!!

  • plain truth !

  • this ex-senator...too little too late

  • America should be run by political science specialists and from there the proper specialists for what ever field is being addressed by the government.

    So should every country.

    Democracy is the problem. You wouldn't have everyone vote for the people who run hospitals.

  • Excellent, so refreshing to here logic and truth.

  • @eliskander I don't think our guys died in vein at all. Much of what this guy said, I disagree with. The one point he did make that made sense was the issue of phony triumphalism. Ive been saying that for years. Ive also been saying we are certainly not the only nation suffering from this disorder. (sarcasm).

  • @eliskander That's RT For ya, a LOT more HONEST than U.S. Corporate Fascist Mafia Media! Slava Rossya!!!

  • @eliskander Yes it is refreshing to hear this guy speak logic & truth. However, notice that he's doing it many years AFTER he served in Congress. That's what many of these Congressmen and Senators do. They don't speak up until they're almost out of office or out of office. It does us no good to have these guys speak up years later when they have no power to represent us.

  • @eliskander mr. ander, its refreshing to hear you with a brain that you use. I believe you

    have done the math so-to-speak. thank-you, peace bro

  • I love the smell of truth in the morning......

    --

  • The USA Army goes around the world killing hurting and plundering the people when they fight back we call them terrorist.The USA law enforcement they go around America hurting killing and plundering the people ,When the people fights back we call them homegrown terrorist that the game the elite plays that everyone is a terrorist except the rich people & political class they trained the people to think that everyone is evil but the rich & political class.It takes police to have police a state

  • @KYKIN44 Also the UK appears to be up the arse of the US hawks. I am ashamed. Bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of innocents and polluting their land and stealing their resources are the policies of mad men.

  • Got to Vote Ron Paul, We cannot take no more of Obama, Mitt, Newt, Santorum, Cain, Perry, Bush Sr & Jr., Clinton are all from the same cloth. We have got to stop this...

  • The only difference between these war mongers and the Ted Bundys of this world is the number of people they kill at a time. War mongers are serial killers on steroids. Like any serial killer they have no conscience and they dehumanize their victims.

  • @gram914 well said!

  • This man is a human...this man is patriot....this man is true American....All of you Americans who raise there finger and shout we are # 1...and pretend to love America should listen to this man and follow what he says...

    Israel will destroy the world if we let it....mark my words...thousands of Americans died...and will die for Israel....Americans should understand that we don't need Israel's friendship..It is burden on us...not an asset...

  • @someoneinlv - Very true.

  • Comment removed

  • All good americans are either 80 years old or already dead.

  • It is men like Mike Gravel that made America a great country and it is men like Mike Gravel that will make America a great country again.

  • incredible thinking here! these thoughts need to grow and be spread.

  • Buddy, as long as we are dealing with hungry mouths and empty stomachs, we can not win the war. The battle is to win the hearts, minds and souls and the battle starts within us. Guess, who the enemies are? it is us! yes, ourselves! As long as we have the anger, hatred and bitterness inside of us, there is no end to this conflict.

  • spend your money on food to feed the hungry and NOT on military wares to kill people. You make more friends than enemies. bomb them with hamburgers and french fries (less costly than missiles) and shoot them with pancakes and maple syrup (less costly than bullets), they'll be your friends and allies for life!

  • @odys1964 Can we sit around the campfire with Al-queda and sing Kum Buy Yah, too? LOL. I don't mean to insult you but let me share a direct quote from Achmidinajhad of Iran---"A world without America is not only desirable, but achievable."---This from the leader of a nation bent on getting nuclear weapons and promising to use them. Buddy, I hate to break it to you but we have real enemies who need to be dealt with in a way not involving hamburgers and syrup before they deal with us.

  • @blamedorger I'm not defending Iran but they have never stated that they attempting to get nuclear weapons and they defintely did not say they were going to use them if they had them. They have said they are harnessing nuclear energy for peaceful uses. Whether they are lying or not...your guess is as good as mines, but it's still simply a guess. But don't outright lie about something that was never said because it's this manipulation of the truth that has lead to misinformation in the public.

  • vote for ron paul n say no to war

  • God dam America. The world won't shed a single tear when the USA hits rock bottom. A Tumor that best be removed.

  • @Kevra777 I think N Korea isn't so concerned with Iran, their goal is to reunite with S Korea.

  • This man contradicts every low and despicable opinion I've held towards politicians - his words nail it right on the head and it is a sickening fact that what he is saying is so sadly true !

    I too am ashamed of what America is doing in this world , and we have some serious pay-back coming !

  • This is a Great Man!! All Truth !! Wake Up America!! RT Facebook Myspace Do Your Part!!

  • GEORGE BUSH AND TONY BLAIR HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES BY the The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal which held a four day hearing in the Malaysia.

    NOT ONE WORD ON THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, I WENT TO THE FACEBOOK PAGES OF CNN , NBC, ABC, ETC and put links to this vid and if we all bombard the pages of all the reporters etc, even if 2 people read what we wrote, WATCH THIS, /watch?v=pZxa0-IXl_U

  • That's what happens when you listen to Jews and let them run your government.

  • Big Like

  • Reminds me of another Ron Paul very wise man indeed

  • I cant wait till the usa get bombed the fuck up you dirty cunts. Country of freedom my ass, you wont let your own people protest you have to beat them pathetic.

  • Ron Paul wouldn't even speak to this guy. Even though he's a non-interventionist, he still believes in central economic planning. Sorry, but no thanks.

  • IRAN IS A VERY BIG COUNTRY AND WILL SURVIVE NUKES.. WHAT U THINK HAPPENS AFTER???? EVERY JEW IN THE WORLD WILL BE HUNT DOWN AND PUT IN THE GAS CHAMBER I PROMISE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the more u go to war

    the more u gonna pay

    the more there gonna make

    the less your gonna get

    if you dont go to war

    you will live better life

    they will make less money

    question is

    who has what say in your country

  • If I was an American citizen I would vite for this guy. He seems to sat it as it is, Not like the current and past presidents.

  • Im a Californio n we NEED to leave IRAN ALONE. They DO NOT WANT TO HARM THE USA. IMPEACH OBAMA OR SHOULD I SAY OH-BLAH-BLAH.

  • Dr Paul is intelligent, articulate, honest, sincere and principled. In short, he has exhibited none of the qualities of any US president in my lifetime. Why would anybody vote for him?

  • i love this guy!! he needs to be the president

  • I'm American, and, well... it's true. US, just stay the fuck away from Europe, you're not gonna win...

  • shoot this fucker...terroist muslim lover. if it wasnt for the yanks the world would be living in hell, islam is evil WAKE UP DICKHEAD.

  • its true what he says

  • Mike Gravel is a realist. He knows that you can't make valid plans to govern a country, if your info is pure PROPAGANDA, of based on LIES!

    It may be true that "We can't handle the TRUTH!", but no matter how bad it is, I WANT TO KNOW!

    Nobody (except the crooks) can benefit from hiding the facts. Eventually the Citizens you try to "protect" from the truth, find out that you lied and WILL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN!

    PS: Support Gravel's 9/11 investigation initiative petitions around the country!

  • Agree , this was beautiful

  • RON PAUL

  • Brilliant why are these people not in power? pray RON PAUL Gets into Office and sweeps this Shite out of the US Government

  • The war wiith Iran is already in the making by the USA!

  • The electoral process is flawed and like its predecessors is destined to fail.

  • hillary clinton will be the next puppet. all are as bad as each other and really have no say in what happens in the U.S.

  • heys we all know WWIII is going to happen. how many countries are left without a rothchilds bank. can we count on one hand how many, libya was one of them iraq, afganistan does that not say money talks. shut the zionists down and all work for each other lol never happen with greedy bastards around.

  • Love Mike Gravel but you can be assured that nothing will stop the quest for blood money by the military industrial complex. They love killing, it makes them lots of cash.

  • Excellent video presentation. The only thing this guy left out, was mentioning the destructive element of the Jews, who are behind most of the ills, that he mentioned.

  • Every goddamn day I feel more embarrassed to call myself American.

  • What a man!

  • @donkeytacos Ron Paul's Vice Pres?

  • WRONG: what was happening to Germany is happening to US !!

  • You people think voting for Ron Paul is -really- going to make a difference?

    It's not, both politicians are funded by the same company's, you are only voting for the face of the president. Nothing will change.

  • To quote Bill Maher "It's so childish, "greatest country in the world." It's like saying, "I have the best wife in the world. Not just the one best suited for me, the best wife in the world. And if you could have my wife, you'd kill your wife.""

  • Why does this video not have more viewers? And why is his words not making news stations around the world go mental....

  • 1/3 of all kids not graduating from high school? I doubt it

  • even if they send us to war, they have to convince us to pull the trigger, they do this through propoganda and racism. if we as civilians travel the world and meet other civilians from other countries you will realise that we all get along very very well, it is only the EGOTIST PLUTOCRATIC OLIGARCH that are trying to force their dominance on the rest of the world purely by being the RICHEST or have the BEST WEAPONS. LETS STOP MAKING WEAPONS we wont have to live in fear.

  • @forby24 thank you for being sane.

  • I'm Brazilian, and I'm really scared of Americans. =\ I'm sorry guys, dumb people are everywhere, in every country. In my country there are a lot of DUMB people too. But your kind of dumbness is all about westernization, deforestation and WAR WAR WAR... ENDLESS WAR and heorism. We had a capitalist military dictatorship in Brazil (and in other latin american countries) during the cold war because of you and you seem so surprised with the existence of a "capitalist dictatorship". Man......

  • @fulanaarvore Hit it on the head...the country has dropped to 26th in industrialised nations of the world in education...so you get climate change denial...brainwashed Foxbots... mass paranoia. Americans live in a corporate police state and yet many of them think they are free. They are brainwashed continually by Madison Avenue and Special Interests. Shit health care, shit employment, shit education...Scary indeed.

  • Great interview! Wise words from Mike Gravel, he's a keeper.

  • Thank you mister Gravel for your honesty and I totally agree. The fact that Obama is an all out liar makes him even more distasteful. He is the biggest fake on American history. With Bush we know what we were dealing with. With this one we have yet to find out how far he will go.

  • This guy should say more things all the time.

  • Rep just ownd us all >>. . .

  • wise man

  • I love what this guy is saying, I hope every "red-blooded Amurican" is taking a crap in their pants. We should end wars, abolish out military (except for national guard) and start manufacturing goods not bombs!

  • Oh, gosh! There are decent people in the US who are in communion with me & my total disappointment with its government.

  • Screw "democracy". We "live" in a screwed up "democracy", and the founding Fathers were right; It sucks. Period.

    Can't see any difference 'tween a "democracy", Fascism and Communism... murderous regimes all.

  • VOTING IS FIXED.

  • Animal Farm America.

  • Hey, this reminds of my history class.... just like the Roman Empire.

  • Gravel's talk is cheap. "We the people" are still waiting for him to share with "us" his knowledge of the terrorist demolitions of the twin towers and the protection bestowed by the U.S. government upon these terrorists. This most simple revelation would go a long way towards making his dreams come true.

    Love,

  • If only Gravel was 20 years younger......

  • Mike Gravel for President!

  • Thanks for sharing and caring, it's crazy, because ppl don't mean any harm. We are used to speaking. it is insane, we all need peace.I say, So everyone can come out on top.

  • Was Gravel saying anything like this during his terms in office? Never heard of him until he ran a stupid campaign in '08. So he goes to Amsterdam and interviews with RT?

    Morality might be missing in parts of America, but not all.

    Whiskey in one hand, a gun in the other.

    I hate war too but I never ran or won a seat to make it better like he did and apparently wasted all of his time getting perks while in office and now here he is seeming like a traitor to me. Or maybe just an ass.

  • @ctwatcher "...and now here he is seeming like a traitor to me. Or maybe just an ass." Patriotism and nationalism are not the same, friend, although they're easily confused. It sounds to me like you're offended, but the points he brought up are pretty valid, no? Also, he was one senator--he did a lot of work re: the mess in Vietnam. We used to be very widely respected; now, we're hated around the world. We sacrificed everything for oil and the Military Industrial Complex, adopting fascism...

  • @tvswnet I'm disgusted with all in govt and those that get out and keep talking but never able to fix anything. And now it seems they want to sacrifice all of us for any reason to make the rest of the world feel better. My brother fought in VietNam, my dad in WWII and they sure didn't fight for this crap we're getting and many embrace as they are scared of their own shadow!

  • @ctwatcher Exactly--the home of the free and the brave is the police state of the paranoid and dull-witted. My solution: Detach from as much of it as possible. Trading goods and services, growing food (even in cities--lotsa videos on how to do it), no more credit cards, no more consumerism (trying to us as much refuse as possible for other purposes, e.g., pickle jars make great drinking glasses, egg carton instead of germination pots, packaging for organizing, etc.). We'll win by ignoring them.

  • @tvswnet I hardly ever use credit, grow some foods, hardly ever go shop for crap from China, save all jars, have a bit of common sense or I used to?

    I don't know if we'd win by ignoring them as that seems to be one of the problems we have created. It seems to me we should have been screaming about their dirty deeds years ago. I feel we didn't do enough for those who come after us. I called, I emailed, I signed petitions along with many others and they seem to be the ones good at ignoring.

  • @ctwatcher

    We are losing our Constitution, our freedom, and by God I blame myself for it because I never got involved with politics. I have never voted. Yes, it is my fault and I'm sorry for it.

  • @leatherbraider its not too late brother, as long as you stand up when the chips are down.

  • @forby24

    believe me, I am very active now. I cannot walk very well but I will damn sure stand up when the time comes. The time is now.

  • "Gog Magog" here we go....

  • China and Russia have stated in direct terms that if Israel/USA attacks Iran there will be serious consequences. Don't forget ppl that Iran is a major allie of Russia and supplies China with oil,they also have alot of trading with military hardware etc. They are good friends,Israel will bring the world to WW3

  • @SouthernCross33 They are forced to cell oil at the cheapest price to China as a result of the sanctions on Iran by the US and EU

  • If you ask Cheney and Bush if the troops have died in vain they'd disagree, they'd say we made billions for our companies Halliburton/Carlyle group when we got the lions share of war contracts for the wars based on their lies

  • Corporations need to be controlled by government?  The corporations OWN our sorry sold-out government.

  • The best way to deal with Iran is to "leave them alone." They will find their way to a better form of government.

  • congress has become a room full of pervert with death wihe.

  • If Obama gets re elected you will know the elections are fixed. Vote for Ron Paul!!!!!

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 abstain to vote. Its rigged anyways.

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 Says redneck deerhunter

  • @smartie34 Whats the name have to do with anything? Didnt your mother ever teach you not to read a book by its cover?

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 Ron Paul would for sure not approve of Mike Gravels message. Ron Paul does not believe that private corporations need to be regulated. As far as I understand he is for deregulation across the board and a minimization of any kind of collective, communal power such as a democratic government. If you want greed to be the only king, vote for Ron Paul.

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 If he is against Ron Paul yeah and wins yes, they're fixed, but if he's going against any other republican I still prefer Obama, any republican other than Ron Paul will make everything worse.

  • @Joker9588 the corporations have already decided to contribute to his campaign [Obama], really there is no other choice, they'll all destroy our country and bring on the NWO

  • @Joker9588 It doesn't matter who wins because the system is seriously corrupt

  • @Joker9588 I'd prefer Matt Damon to Obama, no offense to either.

  • @Joker9588 Lucifer thinks Obama's an evil freak.

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 we already know they're fixed

    remember? John Kerry won the popular vote, but Bush was elected for a second term anyway.

  • @RedneckDeerhunter252 It's because I see these Ron Paulbot ads over and over again that I am deeply suspicious of any kind of support for Ron Paul...because his supporters are rabid evangelical lunatics....it's an election not the Second Comming...

  • The U.S. Government is NOT America! The U.S. Government is NOT the organic united States of America! The U.S. Government IS a private corporation! The U.S. Government is NOT a republic in form!!!

  • We wished more people had the wisdom of this old man...

    The World would be, for sure, a better place...

  • This old alcoholic should know

  • I love this old man!

  • Mike Gravel and Ron Paul always speak the truth. Have you ever wondered why the world is so screwed up when humans are so smart? As the population increases and the pressure for finite resources increases, the dysfunction of humanity's collective thinking becomes crystal clear! It is time to move from self-consciousness to cosmic consciousness. If we do not make this leap in consciousness, we will die. Gravel is explaining how the elements for this extinction are coming into alinement.

  • Iraq was a mess before what? We invaded? Okay bro, whatever you say. You are a terrorist. You are either with Dictatorship or aginst us. Basically its a free for all now.

  • Netanyahu tells his buttboy Obama to JUMP and Obama says ''How high?"

  • The US is drunk on cheap kosher Zionism beverage.

  • @vmeister11 Amen! But the parasitic sayanim (AIPAC et al) are hard at work pulling the strings to make sure the Zionist parasite keeps getting its money feed and that the US keep getting more drunk.

  • Obama is a worthless nigger. All the poor stereotyping doesn't change any of the reality of the promises he made and the execution thereof. Unfortunately, the other party is a gaggle of clowns and won't make a bit of difference.

  • @xjlmt

    Obama a nigger? Ha. He's an uncle Tom, through and through, more white man than black man. That racist shit will only make people think we dislike Obama for dumb, racist reasons. Don't let it descend to that level of stupidity, it only helps Obama's supporters.

  • @ModernPlague It's not, and hasn't been white/black for a long time. It's all money/no money. Obama is all money.

  • Gravel is a fine politician; however, as of March of this year Haaretz reported 52% of Israelis trust war-hawks Netanyahu & Ehud Barack to effectively “handle the Iranian issue”. Also, keep in mind 94% of Israelis supported the overt genocide of Gaza in Operation Cast Lead. So when Gravel says “The Israelis don’t support their war-making gov’t,” what he’s doing is talking nice by force of habit—the truth is they do support their war-making gov’t to the exclusion of all good character & sanity.
