For all of US

[zillajratomicray]

Is this video a joke?

[Shalshelan]

If the US want to be a better place, they have first of all to fix their weird laws.

[Wanda7771]

5-6-11...So now that I see the "CHANGE" I don't like it. B.O. was a media creation. He's an empty suit and you guys were brainwashed.

[mphello]

When you give a reason for an action

e.g. "I oppose war in Iraq." Why? "Because it raises my taxes."

O.k. (You failed to say by how much.) Then that general rules applies to all instances.

e.g. You must then oppose taxes that put people in prison.

Otherwise, it is not a general rule.

[mphello]

I considered myself conservative when I was age 8, but I and my family were never socially conservative. We were always for feminism and gay rights. I thought I was conservative because I was well-disciplined and hard-working in school. Turned out that I was more liberal than everyone else in school. As I got older, I got more and more radical.

And, one of the things that I hate about the anti-war crowd is that they yap endlessly about opposing funding TRILLIONS of dollars to corporate...

[mphello]

@mphello .. defense-welfare (corporate welfare), and that's great. That's why I voted for Ralph Nader 4 X for President of the USA. But, I NEVER hear this anti-war crowd go on and on about

let's end prisons. Prisons are force, too. Just like war. They cause untold misery to the people confined in prison. So making a blanket generalization that war "is bad because it hurts X for all X" also applies to prisons, since prison "is bad because it hurts X for all X".

[alejandro31192]

they could have added: learn esperanto for a better world... but i remember... esperanto is taboo...

[brentisone]

We dont need a new version of a so called capitalistic oriented, materialistic sized "prosperity", we don't need any "free" market policies, we need equal repartition of all the vital ressources to all the people in the world, and we don't need the US to tell us, the whatsoever rest of the world, to follow them as in rules and directions for ever. We need a free not market based, liberated world, which people living peacefully on their own, without geetting bothered by any SuperPower at all.

[trakkaton]

This video is total BS. The US didn't start to be a fascist empire with BuSSh. IDIOTS!

[The0ldg0at]

@trakkaton US is not a facist empire but a plutocratic dominion.

[trakkaton]

@The0ldg0at

A plutocracy rules the empire. It IS an empire, because it stretches far outside of the borders of the US (military bases in about 60 countries). It IS fascist, because it shows all the relevant criteria: War crimes, wars of aggression and invasion, terrorism, surveillance, concentration camps, torture, fundamentalism, imperialism, chauvinism, ignorance, police brutality, concentration of power, militarism, controlled media, censorship, thought crimes, culture of fear, etc. etc. etc.

[The0ldg0at]

@trakkaton It's not an empire because it doesn't have an emperor.

And it doesn't have colonies. There is no US apointed governor ruling the other countries. Only Capitalist's cronies.

It's a dominion because it is a dominant country with client countries.

Don't get confused., nowadays the plutocrats know no nation borders. They have their cronies ruling everywhere and the US military has been given the role of policeing and maintaining their world's order.

[trakkaton]

@The0ldg0at

Your definition of "empire" is absolutely new to me. I can't find any sources that share your point of you, do you have any? Nevertheless I then would guess that you don't see The Fourth Reich or The USSR as empires either.

The colonies of the US can be named as such (ergo neocolonialism) even if the governours are not called that way (various installed fascist dictatorships).

Plutocrats now less nation borders, but there are new borders, if there wouldn't, we'd all be cc inmates.

[The0ldg0at]

@trakkaton American Empire; identifying the USA’s American Empire, by its international behavior, is controversial. Stuart Creighton Miller posits that the public's sense of innocence about Realpolitik (cf. American Exceptionalism) impairs popular recognition of US imperial conduct. Since it governed other countries via surrogates — domestically-weak, right-wing governments that collapse without US support.[7]

Excellent propaganda video.

"it helped give birth to the united nations"... and the iron triangle, the cause of all that is evil in the world...

[bigbrad88]

Amazing video they made these changes that are not upon us look realistic. They should make one about AIG and GM called "Ownership for all of us" Isnt this the change we wanted?Adding trillions of dollars to our huge plate of debt!Dont worry there are plenty of young men and women who will be paying this off for the rest of their lives. Now that the government owns these companies they can tell them what kind of car to build! Obama for America? or is it Obama for the peoples republic of America?

Oh and repuiblican rigth wing religious are not? Your'e pathetic.

[wanderingrebie]

beautiful piece ;-)

[redheadsandblondies]

Beautifully put, beautifully made, and echos many people's views outside of America.

And by the way, owning a gun is not a right, its a choice, and one that doesnt need to be made available to citizens when they have no need to kill in the first place.

[zion24]

this is an amazing video and it tells the truth abuot what is happening an USA, and and the division with the rest of the world, i not american (from USA) im an american bc I belong to the american continent (ha ha) thath another theme...but i really hope thath Obama win the american presidential votes, but the a better world for the future.

[bigbrad88]

well just look at what their freedoms are. you cant own a handgun in canada australia or GB. you have socializedhealthcare which makes their taxes go through the roof. If you want to work hard and eventuallyearn millions you esentially cant because they raise your taxes so high that your work comes almost for free. thats socialism my friend and we Americans view it as evil because this is one of the only remaining free countries in this world and capitalism is the way to go big government is not

[Vogter2100]

You are full of propaganda bullshit man.

Right wing moron.

[bigbrad88]

Vogter i agree with you that i am right wing and whether im a moron or not i will let you decide i am not here to criticize anyone and you and i both know what America voted for and yes that was change, and by God are we getting it now. Is it the change we wanted?Not me but hey we all have our opinions. I personally think that the government should be small and i dont know about you but i really never wanted to be an owner of the banks or the auto industry in this country, but thats what we are.

[Vogter2100]

Bigrad88: You dont want change. Here's a newsflash. The time dont care what you want. Change would have come under McCain too. Your echonomy sucks. Thanks to the moron Bush. Try and go to google, whrite the 3 words: debt clock USA. Click the first link. And try and refesh that link every 10 seconds

[bigbrad88]

I just hope you like paying taxes for a company that should have failed. I dont want to bail banks and auto makers out do you? If i make a bad decision i fail, shouldnt businesses be the same way? Now that we own stock in AIG and GM do you think that that company is personally going to send me and you a dividend if they turn profitable? DREAM ON. We would be much better off if we let them fail. Short term? no but in the long term it would have payed off. The point of business is risk my friend

[Vogter2100]

Well the old times with : if it cant standa alone let it fall, is no longer a good way to do things.

The problem is, that all echonomy is linked together intricately, in too complex a pattern these days, thanks to stupid legislation and the global echonomy effect.

If you let AIG, and the others fall, it will bring down not only themselves but the whole country and even be felt pretty badly here where I live, in Denmark!

The time for 'free' capitalism is over....

[Vogter2100]

and... even the edotir of the world's most conservative newspaper, Finiancial Times in London has Karl Marx lying on his desk.

Even your young financial lions on Wall Street are reading Marx. And thinking he might have a point in some of what he says.

[Vogter2100]

We pay thru our taxes to stupid banks that did stupid things when things were going well...

I think that is ok, BUT I wish the hell they would fire the asswipes in charge in these banks and other companies for being so unbelievably bad at invensting and running the companies.

And some of them I even think belongs in jail.

[ele09tube]

Why is the US the only country in the world where "socialist" is a such a shocking, dirty word? I am a socialist. Socialist does not equal communist despot. Many countries (including Australia & NZ for many years before we became puppets of the US, and northern Europe still) are socialist to varying degrees.

[runway1300]

...i would say you are confused!i dont blame you,...you went for the easy way,nobody said the easy is the best, but you did not ask nor think!almost sold your souls ,for the most of you!...now ..what you gonne do?

ARE THEY REPRESENTING YOUR NEEDS???

they dont !!!and you know it ,why you still supporting them? you have to think globally!

wake up out of your ignorant stupid patriotic small minded ,ahh soo boring attitude america!

the world is in rainbowcolours and you just see -red white blue

[bigbrad88]

Obama is a socialist! do some research before you vote he has radical ties!!!

[pumkinpi2]

They ran his campaign like they were selling New Coke, all flash, no substance. Now that he actual must articulate police his approval rating sinks rapidly toward the 50% point, and continues down. His big fix turns out to just be big government spending. He is sadly surprised that Iran hasn't "unclenched" its fist, & the fact that two old soviet republics, now countries, are kicking us out of their territory. Protectionism in this latest bill should royally peeve the Europeans. Feel the love.

[cotygato]

if you want a better country, you must change your country needs to improve, have a history in which black American power is killing our planet and yourselves no more lies, no more no more wars bush.

[bader30005]

[attela666]

"i agree change is what we need JOHN McCAIN for pressident. He is an honest man and has not hidden portions of his life from us like Obama and his radical ties."

A change? He's a warmonger.

[Lojikbom]

[teifionw]

[teifionw]

[kalaniman1]

[Peace7Maker]

eerr, *democrat values

[bbinverse]

Quote from Avaaz email:

Right now, desperate conservatives are employing the dirtiest of tactics in the US election -- [..] creating a sense of global fear and suspicion amongst Americans voters.

[..]

US Avaaz members have asked for this help. The ad doesn't tell people who to vote for, but its overriding message of tolerance, diplomacy, human rights and equality is unmistakable. If the ad hits the media airwaves, it will reach the nation's undecided voters [..]

[UKSalami]

Awesome.

Although I'm not certain that who the American people vote for makes a blind bit of difference..

Isn't it the electoral colleges that have the votes that count..?

[TH3541nt]

Brilliant! Lets hope this wakes up the narrow minded among us to what their vote really means, the power in choosing the right person for the job.

Obama is the best example of a presidential candidate with a world centric view (meaning he views America as PART of the World... not America AS the world...)

America has such a big opportunity right now to make a real change to international relations, climate change, equality and freedom... All things that one would think America stands for!

[Azgaroth1990]

Nicely done!

The best of luck with the elections, and greetings from Belgium!

[ReflexRich]

I am a supporter of Avaaz and hope this video has the desired effect.

[catendresse]

Good Luck Avaaz!

[wildysary]

This video is well-maded and very hopeful.

All the world hope for a change.Greetings from Italy.

[WorldWantsObama]

This is an inspiring and well crafted video - thanks again Avaaz team! At The World Wants Obama Coalition we're trusting that Americans will indeed vote for change and make us all proud on 4th November.

[gogeekau]

This gives me orgasms! It is incredible what a really skillful video can do. Communication at its finest. It has often been a fantasy of mine to contemplate what would happen if - instead of spending a trillion dollars on a war, or on banks - imagine if a trillion was spent on diplomacy communication & marketing research etc. Wars could be obsolete pretty quickly. I think we already know enough about psychology and mass marketing to do this.

[hanniefatal]

thank god for avaaz

Excellent job AVAAZ!

How Americans vote will influence whether we see a timed end to the war in Iraq, if we form an international consensus to tackle climate change, how we deal with the situation in Iran and North Korea, and whether we finally prioritize the fight to end global poverty. ...

[mwkhateeb]

This is true...

I was looked up at the US, and loved American people. I remember when I was a kid, my favourite movie was "Day of indepenednce". Now, I just feel that the US needs to go back to the right track.

We can't have human rights and democracy here, while the US has Guantanamo Bay prison with all those prisoners without trial, and being subjected to totuture... So then our rulers say, look even America totures in it's prisons...

[technox666]

Send to a friend. Reason? tolerance. Some people believe anything and then they tell people who think like themselves, ignorance spreads.

[muskan1222]

that was ADORABLE at the end <3

[ejbh3160]

Excellent!

Keep at it people. There is always another way!
