BANCO DE GAIA - NOT IN MY NAME

[MrPaul84279]

half ass tour of duty (yea I seen plenty of Polish soldiers doing their part). If you ever seen small children walk up to you with tears in their eyes thanking you for the $250,000 dollar school you just built then maybe you would be able to get off your self implied emo pity wagon that your riding up and down the street trying to get people to pay attention to you. Ive done horrible things to people in my day but yet I can see that my nightmares are well worth the lives I had to take.

[MrPaul84279]

"culture" came about. Its not always "well we are stealing our neighbors resources!" How do you think trade works? A farmer may not be good at hunting and a hunter may not be very good at sewing, thus the trade system came about. Lastly this is what pains me the most. Im sorry for envading your country. I dont really know where to start or finish this argument, but speaking from experiance as a Iraq and Afghanistan vet all I can say is you obviously never left your base camp for your

[MrPaul84279]

better then the other because he saved a full gallon of oil more a year then the other man makes no true sence. When you take a step back and look at it, unless you live out in the middle of no where and are 100% completely selfsufficient then by your own words you are just as guilty as anyone else. Everyones family has different needs and different ways of obtaining those needs. So I do encourage everyone to do their own part to make the world a better place. Thats how a little thing called

[MrPaul84279]

You hippies are stupid. First of all a Iraqi and a Muslim are two seperate ways of catagorizing people. Just like say that people from Afghanistan are all lumped into one group because they are not. There are Pastuns and about a dozen other ethicities that all dwell in the country. If a Muslim saved your sisters arm he could be from just about anywhere in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe or even the United States. Next your whole whining about the oil and how one person is

[vlsokos]

iraq,libia stop war in siria

[haileysvomit]

i never know wheather to cry or what when i hear this excellent tune and amazing video ...banco is a just amazing...............

[jfmn24]

lots of comments from people saying how bad the war was and still is. your all guilty of sustaining this war. you all have blood on your hands. the difference between many of you here and me is that I accept my responsability in this and secondly I have no problem with it. WAR IS HELL!!!

[Synrikeman]

@jfmn24 not all of us, I didn't give the orders to invade anywhere. the blood is not on my hands. the blood is on the government that I am under. . You can't say the blood is on our hands if we did not choose if we invaded or not.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman I do not know your nationality but in my country we elect our government and thus our defense ministers and consequently our military leaders. we are all responsible. If you had protested actively against the war and given a vote of no confidence in your elelcted leaders then you could feel that your support was withdrawn from such military action. Also the fact that a government has to ensure its society continues to run means it must sometimes make choices we may not be ab;e to.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman i can say the blood is on your hands if you stand by and do nothing.. in the same way that a man who watches a man beating his wife the observer is also guilty of the crime. It is up to each and every one of us to be aware and to be actively involved in every descision our nations make. whether through direct involvement or by showing our support or anger against descisions made. If you are one of theose who do then i salute you and restract my statement.

[Synrikeman]

@jfmn24 I can only get involved so much before the government stops listening. All I can do now is say my prayers. the blood of these wars are not on my hands because I am doing all that I can though little it may seem.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman praying.. is he stopping the bloodshed? ... millions pray every day and it achieves nothing. why should a theoretical god right our wrongs? anyway thats another debate. good luck talking to the magic man.

[Synrikeman]

@jfmn24 Everything happens for a reason. what is the reason behind this war? Greed. that is the drive behind this war. There is a saying " You won't ever find an atheist in a foxhole" I'll pray for this war to end while you sit on your butt getting after everyone else for this war that we don't have a hand in. What are you doing to stop this war? At least I'm doing *something*. The power of the mind is greater then anyone knows.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman I am doing nothing to stop this war!!! I need oil to run my car and my motortbikes and to run my heating for my house. i also need oil so i can get clothes and other items from other countries. Since man first walked the earth we have shed blood in the persuit of taking land, food, resource from other men. nothing has changed in 100,000 thousand years when you wake up and realise that all life on this planet does what it must to survive. oil it seems is now a part of that.

[Synrikeman]

@jfmn24 You are doing nothing to stop this war. it sounds to me that you want this war so you can have the oil. why not find a different solution rather then take what your neighbor has? It's all about land and control and money and oil. If you could listen to yourself for a second you might realize that you tell me that my hands are bloody because of this war and you turn around and say you *NEED* the oil? it's all about want. you only *WANT* the oil because it belongs to someone else.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman There are no oil deposits in my country. If my nation is to continue and not breakdown then it and i need oil. hence the control of oil supply lines overseas. nearly everything i buy is british and needs very little oil to get to me and what i dont buy i grow in my garden. I am one of a minority in this country who actually go to extra lengths to minimise oil usage. but the fact remains that my society needs oil as do all nations on earth.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman I recognise my responsability in this bloodshed. you do not. are you insinuating that you dont use oil? if so what do you use instead>?

[Synrikeman]

@jfmn24 Nope, I'm not insinuating that at all. If I were smart enough, I would have built myself an electric car that wouldn't require the use of oil. What is your responsibility in all this bloodshed then? Praying works. try it.

[jfmn24]

@Synrikeman you cannot make a car without oil even an electric one.

my responsability in the bloodhshed is serving in the middle east on and off for 14 years.

my responsability continues with my consumption of oil.

[jfmn24]

Hello to all gainst the IRAQ war.

1. stop using your cars, buses, trains, planes and any other oil driven mode of transport.

2. only buy food grown and produced in your country

3. only use products made in your own country and from resources mined and harvested in your Own country.

4. anything you see around you that cannot be created or attained without oil sourced from another nation should be discarded.

5. sit back and enjoy your new found freedom.

OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL

[heiligenklang]

Banco de Gaia is back. I heard the song "Last train to Lhasa" 17 years ago and I knew these guys know how to make music. I saw the video a lot of years later and it was very moving to see the pictures of the chinese invasion.

But this on here: "Not in my name" is the kind of hymn that can change the mind of a billion of people in only some minutes.

Halleluja!

[JettaJ1]

to those 7 people who gave this video a bad rating, shame on you.

Funny how whenever there's been a Bush President, a war has started in Iraq... I don't know why that is or what that means - just a thought... Anyone?

[odorifero]

The music seems new age.

The video is the worst of this age.

[RealityTime420]

The music and images reach out and grab at your heart....Mezmerising....Thank you.

[hionmeth]

Toby Marks. Freaking A. When it comes to create music on an emotional level, he is the master.

[Merlo177]

What goes around , comes around

[yetiflicker]

very moving images......the west crippled that country for years and years with its sanctions.

every insurgent was made by the west....

[ThunderFarts420]

Moron Bin Laden gave Bush the mandate to do whatever he wanted. Learn this lesson, the sin of Bin Laden caused all of this suffering.

[MagisterHamid]

what ties did Bin Ladin have with Saddam? Only in the stupid ignorant minds of Americans does those ties excist.

[Pinydark]

q cruel realidad

[adelvoira]

who is terorist bush or saddam

who is terorist americans or arabs

who is terorist israel or palistine

ask yourself and you will easly answer

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

[jshhmr]

1.Both are terrorsists.

2.American GOVERNMENT (not Americans) are terrorists.

3. Isreal AND Palestine are terrosrists

4. I answered myself and it seems many people are to blame MOSTLY because of stupid, ignorant people believing in religion.

Hey adelviora, if you're trying to prove that Muslims are better than everyone else, then read some history.

[adelvoira]

because ammericans are without asset

some people are frome europe

others from africa,others frome asia,

where is the real ammericans

this is the problem

jshhmr tell me To what extent you love your country if ask you some questions you'll cant answer me but indians know

and let's the religions far

thank's

[namlaofeel]

we need oil..what if they die..they dont belong to us ..we need to live and live right...they got oil and they dont know what to do with it..lets get the oil and we will benefit the whole world out of it

[barbaricamus2]

Are you mental narnlaofeel?

[adelvoira]

go fuck your mother and fuck your oil okey

[peachmunich]

This cant be true! Who do you think you are? This actual war is based on lies and nobody does anything. I hope someday there will be justice...

[MrCriticize]

Shut your filthy mouth buddy, I need oil to get to work, i need oil for the hundreds of carrier bags i get through every year, i need oil to make all the plastic for the gadgets i love, i need oil so that i can eat a healthy diet, without oil civilisation will come to a full stop, starvation and poverty will be the norm in western society leaving these countries to walk right in and dictate, the tables will turn and they wont care much for your human rights.

[lotreamon01]

..and than one day all the oil run out... :D

[ecopunk66]

and then what will our ''einsteinesque friend above'' do?

heh heh heh!

learn to live natural eh!

[MrCriticize]

oh yeah i forgot to mention that i need oil for all the non-biodegradable fast food containers i get through every year, those poor kids in india need oil to make my cheap clothes for primark, i need oil so my local shops can keep stocked with food, booze and cigarettes after all, it is said that if fuel was to cease then we are all just 9 meals from disater i.e poverty and starvation, are you ready for that? do you want that?

[MrCriticize]

It is a lucky and privaliged life i live, i'm not rich or famous but i do recognise that being a westerner has enormous benefits regardless how much i hate the system. And i do recognise that the system is fragile thanks to those idiots in banking and parliament. Despite all the hunger, poverty and war mongering going on, i still dont want to give up this way of life, i can change my habits to please the so called 'green' middle classes but thats it, OIL FOR LIFE

[adelvoira]

shut your mouth donkey MrCriticize

we need some peace

[peachmunich]

Yes, ok. This is a good argument. So lets kill some children for your gadgets that you love so much...

[scriptfisher]

You need oil to get to work? You need oil for your all your plastic? You must have really enjoyed the 500% spike in the price of oil from the invasion in 2003 to the summer of 2008! And what about the current price plummet? Is it because the US now "controls" the Iraq & Persian Gulf? Hardly--it is, of course, a dire reflection of the complete collapse of the global economy in the wake of the US's disastrous economic and foreign policy choices. Enjoy!

[MrCriticize]

no matter how much you dislike my comments it still doesnt change reality, the computer you used to type your post, the servers that processed and stores your post, the engineers that service the servers, the pipes used to send the post, the engineers that service those pipes, the energy you and the engineers use, the electricity need to run your pc and the servers, your car or train or bus or plane or bike, everything, it all needs oil to make it all possible otherwise it all stops.

[scriptfisher]

Who says I disliked your comments? I found them most amusing. I must say I *am* a bit disappointed that you failed to comprehend mine, however. I would expect your proud dependence on petroleum to counsel caution with respect to the world's largest reserves. It is puzzling therefore that you seem to endorse cynical schemes to use the public's money, debt and blood to effect a bubble in the price of oil so that a few speculator's pockets could be cynically lined.

[Isolatum]

Really moving , great job ! Irak is ruined anyway .. a country of more than 5000 years of history .. This kind of vid is the only way we will keep all thoses innocents people dead alive forever ... Maybe our grand children will look at it as we watch WWII footages now .. How funny history is repeating itself .. ever and ever ..

[Gaviota42]

Extraordinay Job!

Please STOP THE WAR!!!!!

[GallowayCrackers]

Thank you

[jaxxengine]

beautifully done. thank you for making iraqi people a bit more real for those of us who are far away from this horrid war.

[AliceNekoAlenky]

[MagisterHamid]

[TGubbins66]

Heavy. Real. Beautiful.

Thank you.

[Hussein7776]

Stop killing IRAQI PEOPLE

[draeven57]

Just listen to the music and shut up! :)

[vegetableplot]

do you have to be so rude?

[draeven57]

Yes I do. Reason: People just LOVE to get on youtube and spout this or that about how their views are so much better than everyone else's. So... Just listen to the music and shut the hell up. The music will speak for itself.

[Radanoz]

How many of this people are dead by now... How many of them lost their smiles upon the dead body of the ones they loved... This world is sad.

[poder80]

Awsome, music that speaks.

[leonardobondani]

[ecopunk66]

i agree, its not what banco's about, stupid housey housey gits cant 'get off' with anything else, love banco music for what it is xxx

[ShamanPilot]

This music and video stirs me. Great tribute. Poor Iraq they are definitely on the receiving end. Shame on the west for presicion stupidity!

[breaks0]

You shoulda posted this online in 2002 before this stupid war! Great work though.

[ecopunk66]

even if it did, the war would still have happened, over 1 million people protested in london and other places, and now look at the stupid oily war!
