Inside USA - View from South America - 6 May 08 - Part 1

[cooks1234]

is it just me or is anyone else wondering why when the media talks about colombia they always talk about the farc instead of the paramilitarys or even the cartels or even the corrupt gov which are alot worse and the cartels infecting other latin american countrys

[apresesco]

I'll tell you what is happen: The second cold war - between the U.S. and China for natural resources. Americans will invade our soil, it's just a matter of time.They will invade Iran to gain control over oil reserves in the Middle East and then they will invade Venezuela and Ecuador (the 2 members of OPEC in South America).

Solution: begin a massive arms race; do many nukes; strengthen relationships in UNASUR. 

[apresesco]

2:19 - two fascist motherfuckers

[cerritoboy]

Fuera de Colombia Uribe Balas! Fuck Colombia´s pro American government!

[apresesco]

@cerritoboy i agree

[datpimpinboy]

I hate how Americans always show COlombia as a fucking battleground. Fucking US media.

[paulinotou]

i dont give a damn what the south americans say. they are coming up and screwing up this country. making gangs selling drugs bringing up poverty rate. we already have black people we dont need more.

dont listen to al jazeera they are very anti american its almost crazy that they deny it. dont show how gullible you are.

[SirStrange777]

@paulinotou  You're really fucking ignorant.

[paulinotou]

@SirStrange777 lol if you actually eat up the bullshit Al jazeera gives, than you are ignorant. smart people give facts, idiots give statements (you are ignorant) without anything to back it up

[SirStrange777]

@paulinotou I said nothing about Al Jareeza, nor did I quote him; so that's irrelevant. The South American regions are in their present state because of the U.S policies of free trade. If you want to solve the immigration problem then do something about the so called free trade market; no country should exploit another's country resources and people- that is a form of imperialism. Do yourself a favor and read a fucking book!

[Carlos7Matute]

the problem in colombia in my opinion is its high corruption and loss of trust to the government by campesinos.

[Lexman00]

This gringo is the first North American that I have ever heard acknowledge the South American countries as America. Most gringos are so ignorant and arrogant that they actually believe they are the only Americans in this continent. Even though, the first Americans were those of Haiti, Cuba, Mexico and so on. The Jamestown colony didn't arrived until a century later. By then many European Americans and Mestizos were already born. So Fuck the USA imperialist! VIva America Latina!

[Magerrs]

The US was the first official independent country in the Americas. Not the first peoples, the first country. Get your facts straight you biased pig.

[malejotm]

Why the fuck do Americans ALWAYS show the bad side of everything exepct their own selves?? They alway say how Colombians are drug dealers, terrorists, how we live under trees, etc etc. WTF!? Theres a lot more to show than that. Theres beautiful things to talk about. But, no wonder, Americans showing how they are the all mighty country which has it all; how we couldn't live without "U.S. AID" I d like to see what they say if I said obese, potheads, 0 IQ americans.. bitches.

[Luffy327]

I'm American and I'm at least 10 times smarter than you. As for why Americans are quick to point out the flaws in others and not themselves why don't you ask yourself the same question.

[malejotm]

Oh are you really?? I don't think so. Your comment sounds pretty ridiculous to me, and I don't see any intelligent thoughts on it. I could probably have figured you are American without you having to say it.

[Luffy327]

I'm an engineering major and for fun I study up on international affairs. The best you seem to be capable of after watching this segment is to point out America's hypocrisy as if america was a person and not a continental diverse expansive nation state. Why do Americans see evil in others and not themselves? Because most of them are self interested and self righteous just like the rest of humanity. Thinking "Americans" are inherently more evil than others is ridiculous.

[stewie0129]

Even doctors die, dear; so you can be the pope, the president, or whoever you might want to be, but I still think you are pathetic. I point out the hypocrisy of Americans because I have had life experiences which have taught me how close mined most Americans are towards the rest of the world. And notice I said most, not all. Most of you [Americans] have a very stupid view over what life is on other countries; and think whatever we[outsiders] do different is wrong. That's what I'm talking about.

[Luffy327]

Its funny you mention that because engineering work is more intellectually and mathematically intensive than that of popes doctors and presidents. What I'm telling you is that the average North American is no dumber than the average South American. There are several countries we compare unfavorably to when it comes to k12 education but higher education is something else altogether. Your level of education corresponds to your capacity and drive over here which is more efficient.

[Luffy327]

Funny you should mention popes doctors and the president because and engineers work is more intellectually intensive than all of them. As for your biases I call it prejudice. When you assign a blanket statement to 300million people it can't be called anything else.

[Magerrs]

Whats that, 8 out of the top 10 universities in the world are in the US? Where are the other 2 in SA..nope UK. Well keep trying guys = \

[sedraopamp]

colombia is a shit, selling itself to USA. Fuck goverment of Uribe, an fascist assasin of shit. In Colombia, everybody knows he's a paramilitar.

[sedraopamp]

gringos de mierda, vayan a joder a otro lado carajo

[poder80]

tonto cabron??? A caso no mejore? Otra cosa que esta en mis manos es el poto de tu madre pendejo culiao!

[poder80]

In southamerica everybody know very well about USA influence, and belive its no good things.

Most understand thou that that theres a diffrence betwen the people, the goverment and companys of USA. South America has been to USA what Africa was to Europe, colonies to controll and suck dry.

[lamparalaptopiaguita]

mejor q hables castellano, q incomprensible tu inglessss

[poder80]

i think iam a bit dyslectic, many times i repeat words, skip words and make errors when typing i dont make when speaking ,its the same in spanish and swedish so me writting in spanish woun't do you any good. Its good you made me awere of it thou, now I will take me self more time when typing and will dubble check it several times. This is practis 4 me so I will keep on typing in english too. Si te esfuersas un poco y no eres todo quadrado seguramente entenderas algo de lo que he escrito

[lamparalaptopiaguita]

tu mejora esta en tus manos, tonto cabron, no en las mias.

[cottonwood1234]

@pod Mw Me too, but you make yourself understood, you should not feel bad anymore than if you needed glasses to read.

[Elbert51]

For those of you who are just looking at the surface of this video I recommend you all to look up John Perkins "Confessions of a Economic Hitman, John Stockwell both CIA operatives of past, To start you on how The US has meddled with Centra,l South America, and other third world countris, so you can make more credible responses to the real truth behind what has been going on. Then make comments with some substance. All over You tube.

[Ragnark1]

11:30 WHOA, BULL'S EYE!! So... this is how the NWO is going to setup it's main agenda in South America. It is always some problem that is so large that nations must unify to stop it. This is a classic example, I don't know why I didn't catch it before.

[frekijsimpson]

I pity any country that gets involved with the US.

it's only about the rich getting richer. not jobs or health care or food...

[dadecountyhustler305]

Ya I know jobs are really hard to find in America that's why we take in more immigrants a year then anyone in the world combined coming here looking for jobs. and export and donate(free) food. More then anyone by far.

You know its easier just to call you stupid.....

[eurargio1]

The program is great. It had to be said that Tokatlian is an expert on Colombia, one of the most respected. Guelar is a politician, a right wing one.

[NowyPozadekSwiata]

That is what I call objectiv perspective,I love this program,

[zapatista512]

Thanks Aljazeera. Heart goes out to all working men and women of S America.

[elvislandia74]

Israeli worms control US

[InvalidReject]

The US always sticks their nose when noone calls for it. Go away already... we dont need you only europe and Asia

[TargetGuy2245]

"when noone (no one) calls for it"

Maybe we should NOT help when they do call for it is well. You cannot have it both ways.

[1968userrgb]

once i f**ed an blonde american girl...she was hot!greetings from Brazil.

[eavvi]

the point's that USA needs the rest of the world but the rest of the world can go on without USA

[TargetGuy2245]

B-u-l-l-s-h-i-t

If that were true it would have happened already.

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

Ugh, what goes up, will come down. It would be better to treat other countries with respect and, seek friendship, but it seems the way with empires is to use anything by peaceful means. It's been that way since the beginning of nations. It will probably be that way forever! I don't like it, though.

[Indicatif]

excellent documentary

[1man4peace]

The goal of ALL "free" journalism is to generate larger AUDIENCES to sell ad space to the huge corporations. It's bad business to expose their client's transgressions, so they have to focus elsewhere. "Fight or flight" response is powerful. So they create conflict with their coverage. Good for the multi-nationals because we're distracted. Good for their pocket books. A death culture for us. We ALL lose when there are "sides." We need together to define what is acceptable and allow nothing less.

[111777shawn]

No sorry the world runs to America for guns al the arms dealers live here. I am a proud American but our policies or fucked up we supress the rest of the world.

[MeLikeGoFast]

How does the us supress the rest of the world. If that is the truth why does every country run to the us when they have major problems?

[Indicatif]

uh what country is running to the us?

[MeLikeGoFast]

Almost all countries take aid from the US when they have a disaster.

[starview1]

Drug dealers are human garbage.

[historywillabsolve]

Yankee go home

[1man4peace]

One-dimensional viewpoints = foolish insights. Think about who wins from conflict. South Americans, North Americans, Shiite and Sunni, Chinese and Tibetan... We all love our children, our family and our friends. And we all desire peace. Even governments rarely benefit from conflict. The worlds super-rich ... Arms manufacturers, Con Agra... Corporateions without borders. Conflict makes it easy for them to distract and gain property and power. It's up to us to change that. Lose the fear. Get real.

[proteanview]

1man4peace: Here! Here! Love your comment.

[MeLikeGoFast]

I like your ambition, but do you think a Utopia is achievable?

[DonSimonBolivar]

President Bush is funding terrorist again its Uriba Paramilitary affiliation groups. They kill labor union leaders and this can be another funded terrorist organization. Uriba has connection with Paramilitary Right Wing Groups who murder countless people. His cousin is under investigation but Colombia is def. ran by terrorist. Uriba and his group are a key group against the people of the land. The U.S. backed coup against a president created Farc.

[DonSimonBolivar]

Jaja he called America an elephant...lol

[Daritto7117]

VIVA COLOMIBA & VIVA AMERICANA!!!

[MeLikeGoFast]

Who the hell cares what al jazeera says? they just out to spread hate and anti us sentiment. Whoever listens to these terrorists are fools.

[TAMARLANE]

You are one of the few here who "get's it"

This is not about anything but hating America. The Great Satan. Death to America. LOL

[ckparsons1]

I hate to tell you but America was founded with God's intention. Over the years, and with others peoples worldview, she has lost track of purpose. But with Gods will she will return to her pure state.

You speak of great hurt. Usually such hatred comes within oneself.

[TAMARLANE]

Who the hell cares what al jazeera says? they just out to spread hate and anti us sentiment. Whoever listens to these terrorists are fools.

[gokuraigo]

hahaha so funny...

[medaa25]

You again? You are probably one of the many who thinks jealous terrorist blew the twin towers up!

Quit whining, your country is doomed and americans are hated all other the world!

[MeLikeGoFast]

AMericans are hated yet the whole world runs to america for help. Your delusional. Im sure where ever your from is lagging far behind America in everything. Dont be a hater.

[medaa25]

And America turns to China for hand outs... Don't be a hater!

[MeLikeGoFast]

China, like the middle east, depends on the US more than you think or know. Which is why they INVEST in us.

[medaa25]

INVEST... When a farmer gives a carrot to a donkey, is he investing?

Let America enjoy the carrot while the China brings it to the slaughter.

[munsyi]

American owns billions of dollar to China and Mexico

[MeLikeGoFast]

And china recieves more than that in sales alone. Who needs who?

[jackinla8]

@munsyi try collecting

[PrunyOldToe]

The whole world runs to america for heLP!?! hahaha, america stick ther nose into everybodies buisness.

America is the bully of the world XD

[MeLikeGoFast]

Not true. When there is a natural disaster which nation is called first?

Yeah, I thought so.

[hihipuffycutiegirl]

very true but the main people that are doing that is the white man.

its like everything the white man touches he destroyes.

[agentsback]

You ll b nowhere w/o american aid.. so be a lil grateful...

[usernameinva1id]

america is the cause of most of the worlds problems

[Adnowwwwn]

LOL, aren't most Colombian people white? Those two guys looked about as white as the host.

[dadecountyhustler305]

WTF?

[yhx1000000]

im sure were sorry the video isnt available

[ArnoldDarkshner]

why do they talk so loudly while translating the village interviewees? they should have used subtitles or translated in a way that you can still hear the interviewee speaking. how do i know that is what they are actually saying?

[sunip82]

you can listen to some of what they say, the translation is very good.

[snowgirl1455]

Not watching AlJazeera again. It was all anti USA. If the right wing of Colombia is so bad why does Uribe have an 82% approval rating versus Chavez who I believe is only at around 50%? You guys are like Fox News only on the other spectrum. Blah

[ce1estia1]

in what way was Al Jazeera anti USA?

[joshuaspetter]

It was not anti or pro. Objective journalism. Something we've lost in the USA. I might agree that it leans towards criticism of the USA foreign policy but not the USA as a country. As far as approval ratings being the basis for your argument, Bush had 90% approval ratings while building up for war with Iraq, torturing detainees and pushing the Patriot Act. Is an approval rating a refelection of the state of society?

[PilsenB]

joshua: "Objective journalism" doesn't exist. Every editor makes decisions on what to include and what to leave out. Al Jazeera offers an alternative to typical U.S. "corporate media," but they're also sometimes guilty of "never letting the facts get in the way of a good story." For example, here the interviewer said U.S. trade agreements with Latin America are at a standstill. Apparently he's ignoring the trade pact with Chile, ratified in 2003, and the pact with Peru, ratified last year.

[medaa25]

Don't be sad because America has bad foreign policies...

[historywillabsolve]

Uribe is a petty thug, his high approval ratings don't change that, all they do is prove the effectiveness of his propaganda machine.

[mrbeeskneesman]

Wow. Such fair and impartial reporting have I never seen. Maybe had I been alive in Germany in the late 30's I could've seen something that would compete. Sounds like someone has an axe, or should I say, a scimitar to grind...

[Slavesrevolt]

Free trade. Freedom to exploit the resources of poor nations. Both human and natural resources.

It's just a license to buy up everything with their fiat money and then rent it all back to the peasants under the guise of taxation.

[nacholibre48]

@Slavesrevolt We don't have free trade. What are you talking about? If it was free trade we only needed a 1 page treaty for that. However, it is more like thousands of pages. This is government managed trade.
