Tom Hayden's thoughts on Video and Activism

[KamikazeKoscki]

Yes, we need to expose the evil and corruption and video taping people in motion is a good way to implement solutions and resolve problems, fast, efficient and proper.

Nice talk.

[dclindberg]

mlbinnv, you contradict yourself.

Ron Paul and most "small government" libertarians want LESS regulation of the "trillion dollar industries" which will give them MORE control.

Robust, accountable government institutions are the only way our voices can be heard in these hyper-corporate times. Otherwise we have privately owned tyranny.

Hello dclindberg,

I understand why you think I contridicted myself. As you know we are limited in how much we can say here.

I'll try and clear it up a bit in another post.

[mlbinnv]

Dclindberg,

My understanding is that the trillion dollar industries have tremendous influence on and help elect our government officials.

They therefore help craft bills and regulations to suit their needs not ours. Ron Paul would change that.

I don't feel Ron Paul can be bought. If elected, I feel he would put in place a great cabinet of people who know business as usual cannot continue for much longer.

[mlbinnv]

Well said.

Youtube and related video sites are helping to change our world and quickly.

80% of Americans know we need to change the way Washington D.C. They will not change on their own, they are controlled by trillion dollar industries.

We have our work cut out for us and video will help get the word out, like all the Ron Paul videos.

Power to the people, smaller government.

great response mlb, join us in making dissent vids.

Hello witzkeyman,

Just wanted you to know I'm in the process of learning Final Cut Pro editing software and will be creating some video's soon.

My goal is to make video's which will educate & impower people to change their world in very simple ways.

We vote for our world every day by what we buy, who we buy it from and how much we pay.

If we always buy based on cheapest price, America and the world will lose.

You are right, Mr. Hayden. Great obs!

Everyone should carry their camera with them..the future police state that Bush is implementing..camera may be the only way you stand a chance. Check out CopWatch. We must police the police...they are the only group who only have to answer to themselves. We must change that. A good cop is precious..a bad cop is one of the most dangerous people on earth.

The NEOCON U.S Government uses video to take away our freedoms..but we can use it to expose their lies,their inhuman deeds etc. Fight fire with fire!!

[AzraelsJudgement]

right on
